I’ve watched a large number of insipid end of season efforts over the years. The one that stands out most is home to Falkirk in 1987. It was probably the first time it was clear to me the white flag had been raised on a campaign (had results gone our way, we could still have won the league that day). Only a year earlier the same squad delivered the most unlikely title in the final game.
There was no white flag yesterday, quite the opposite, the league is all-but won. Instead we looked like a team with a lot of players wondering if they had a future at the club. The next two games, away to Hearts and home to Aberdeen, should provide enough focus to allow the level of performance to rise, but I thought that about the semi-final too.
It’s the end of the road for a few players, and for a system clearly few still believe in.
On the way into the ground a few of us wondered how often Kris Commons would be used going forward. He will be 33 in the summer, ahead of the last year of his contract. Whatever the reason he didn’t make the starting line up yesterday (or last week), his 9 minute cameo demonstrated the directness, not to mention game intelligence and skill, that Celtic are badly lacking.
Despite the plethora of No. 10s and creative wide players we’ve recruited over the last two years, Commons remains by far our most effective creative player. Without him we look to be punching with an empty glove; I hope whoever takes over takes note.

That stealing for the simple sake of stealing.
Water ffs.
I seen many things in life, but that behaviour is beyond contempt.
It cannot be explained, there is no reason to it.
And you didn’t even ask how I came to see said video, before you started to hurl around you’re accusations, did you?
You are the real racist.

So watching the clip I see at least 3 other stewards, as well as the one filming it it. Not a single one of them attempting to discourage those from taking the water.
You have assumed that the filmer doesn’t have an agenda, that it’s a straight reportage. Why? Is it because all the protagonists are black. Are you 100% sure that that they haven’t been told that now the last coach has passed they can help themselves?
If they were intent on actually stealing it, why wait until the race is over, because in my experience the water is there well in advance of the runners and not always being looked after.
Maybe they are stealing it. Which is despicable. It’s nothing to do with immigration, ‘native Europeans’ or allowing people freedom to arm themselves – which has really worked in the USA.
Afternoon all.
Haven’t read back, I presume we are all pals again with no bickering. :-)) HH

Thank you for the considered response.
Let’s be honest here though – we’re doing the usual, and attempting to excuse the inexcusable.
At least had the decency not to shout racist right away in an attempt to silence any view that happens to differ from your own.
Thanks again.
HH.
There are enough decent players at CP for us to have won the League three or four weeks ago. It’s the manager’s fault we haven’t.
BTW, roar that greeted Commons was a celebration of naivete. Nothing else.

With all due respect that’s not a definition, and you know it. We’re done on this. If you respond I won’t see it or anything else you have to say. I’m simply not interested.
They shoot horses, don’t they?
They steal water, don’t they?
Scum of the earth – that’s right, pure scum irrespective of their skin colour, but sure I’m the bad guy, not the water thieves.
Racist!!

WEEMINGER-I hope new manager plays 2 up front,preferably 2 who score regularly,a bit of a tall order that one…….., but I want a manager who can change to another formation in the blink of an eye. Look how we performed under RD ,when we had a man sent off? It was as if it had never happened to him before. HH

Genuine thought . Why is there no Mouse flavoured cat food ?
The mog brings in mice and seems to love them. Yet I go to the shops and can buy her chicken or lamb although she never brings in Chickens or Sheep ?
All this talk about football, Mice, Chicken and Sheep is getting to me.

COOLMORE MAFIA – And you a grown adult presumably.
“Throw him off the blog Paul67,that’s racist!”
You are a brussel sprout,that’s what you a – a tout, simple as that.
Anything, any alternative view that you don’t happen to agree with – you go berserk and go touting and call for people to be barred.
That’s dictator like, cultural Marxism is full effect.
I read thousands of posts on here that I disagree with, I read stuff that I find offensive, I have been called ever name under the sun.
Have I ever ran gurning to Paul67?
No.
I better brought up than that.
You are an oul doll.

The one thing that is most worrying about our present situation is apathy.
We are on the verge of winning the league and instead of rejoicing most fans will be happy the seasons over.
I don’t like the board for their arrogance and disdain for Celtic supporters.
The failed strategy that has weakened our team and caused a decline in supporters attendance.
Their Old Firm agenda and failure to stand up to the cheating.
I dislike them most for making the most defiant support on the planet apathetic.
The defiance was there during the Murrays cheatfest and was always in evidence against a country and establishment that hates us.
This defiance was a source of pride for me as a Celtic supporter.
There was a kinship thats hard to define.
The day Lawell and Desmond leave will not come soon enough.
I will never forgive them for the apathy they created in real Celtic supporters.
Why is there no mouse flavoured cat food?
Yet another example of the failure of the current board to be pro-active.
Go out and win the league on Saturday. I know it would still be mathematically possible to be caught but believe we are something like 36 goals ahead. Win on Saturday, lose the last three games 2-0 and the Dons would still need to score over 15 in their other two games if my maths are correct.
Win and I’ll be celebrating.
The ole Catenaccio is the way forward at Celtic Park… or not!
Anti climactic ending on the cards…
Can’t think of any scenario whereby Ronny leads us to any sense of glorious celebration…?
HOT OFF THE PRESSES,
CHARLIE GALLAGHER? WHAT A PLAYER!

Peter Lawwell says you can’t. It holds pet food to the same sanitation and safety standards as it does human food, approving ingredients it deems appropriate, and necessary, for an animal’s diet. Rodents aren’t sanctioned to be grown as a food source anywhere in the Celtic footprint, and the Department of Agriculture doesn’t have an official inspection procedure for mice. So while fish are a go, mice are a no

Ole Davy Catanach(io) made a total of just 19 appearances for Celtic – with that one goal – before joining hometown club Falkirk in January 1972. After hanging up his boots, David went on to be a very successful businessman.

Quick, one of yous Dubs get down to your Celtic shop!
Broony is there.
Ask him what the feck is going on.

I believe the only striker to have scored both home and away against Barca this season is none other than…
John Guidetti. (What do I win?) ;0)

…it should be noted that the goal he scored in the Nou Camp was a penalty in a 6-1 drubbing but certainly during the home game (4-1 I think?) John and his Celta teammates were outstanding!
Yesterday was another helping of proof, that more than Ronny Delia should be closing the door behind them . There are guys pulling on the jersey ,and putting no effort whatsoever into delivering , certainly not good enough for celtic . Dear oh me , what a state our great club has been allowed to sink too . I also hope the suits ,took note of the message on the banners . As no doubt they have pushed the fans to far this time .

Great to meet you and your mate yesterday. Ryan felt at home listening to your accents. :)
The wee jinx will not be allowed back this season (think she will be happy).
Thanks again for the spares and your company.

Having watched Tom and Jerry, I can confirm that cats don’t eat mice…they just try to kill them with grenades, rocket launchers and cunningly concealed anvils balanced above a fridge door. This is because the meeces look like wee balls of wool.
If you want them to eat mice you’ll have to genetically modify beasties of the order of rodentia (from the Latin Rodere meaning to gnaw) to taste like Kit-e-kat.

Used to have a job as a Pest Controller, which involved a call each Friday afternoon to sort a mice infestation in the grain store at a micro-brewery and pub in Edinburgh. The job involved checking the traps, removing the dead mice, and laying new baits. Baits were laid in a number of hard to reach spots, including assorted air vents and recesses, requiring a bit of a stretch to reach in and remove the corpses.
The Boss called on the mobile one afternoon:
– Where are you?
– Down the pub in Rose St, usual Friday afternoon session.
– You taking the piss?
– No, I’m extracting the murine.
