Celtic transform on triple substitutions

305

Celtic effortlessly disposed of newly promoted Kilmarnock on their dry plastic pitch yesterday.  Three goals up at halftime, the outcome was beyond doubt when Jota unleashed a spectacular effort from long range on 35 minutes, adding to the early strike from Kyogo.

If I was being picky……. We looked vastly better when Liel Abada, Giorgos Giakoumakis Aaron Mooy arrived on 66 minutes.  This could be because Kilmarnock were tiring, but I think this suggestion underplays the impact the change had in allowing Callum McGregor to move forward, Giorgos to disrupt his opponents and Liel to turn defenders.

Earlier in the game possession was lost carelessly, allowing Kilmarnock to get into the final third, a scenario that stopped abruptly at the triple substitution.  We are playing well and winning games, but Ange has some big selection decisions to make if he is to collect 6 points in the next two games.

    I’m going with your brain, as for your heart….no chance😱

     

     

     

     

     

    There’s always a chance my friend…

  2. Well apparently you can get things to stop by just laughing at them

     

     

    With that in mind, if we could just improve our dysfunctional midfield by the deployment of under-used and under-appreciated pundit poster wisdom, we might see the end of us scaring through games by only 5 goals to nil.

     

     

    Time to deploy the Master of Growth Agenda, deployment of DM’s against teams that never cross into our half, and a wee bit of casual misogyny thrown in for good measure.

     

     

    Don’t know why we are persisting with duds like Ange and Dermot Desmond when we have such talent available to us- eccentric too- I hear- you know just like Walter Mitty and Billy Liar were eccentric.

    No fishing involved.

     

    Just comment on social interaction — throw away lines indeed.

     

    They are so hung up on their own opinions that they jump onboard all by themselves.

     

     

    Struggling to throw them back.

    Martin O’Neill was also charged with alleged drunk driving while Celtic manager.

     

    If Bernabai had been wearing a leather mini skirt and high heels, he could get a gig as a Tory mp

  5. Lhads………….

     

     

    Paul ain’t “Dad” or shouldn’t need to be…………….and any moderation is best self-generated…….

     

    the sleekit nuggets are……………perhaps to most……….obvious.

     

     

    Others may hold differing perspectives.

     

     

    The Big Picture?

     

     

    Make up your own mind.

     

     

    HH to all Tims.

  6. garygillespieshamstring on

    Hopefully a wee word in his ear from Ange can sort him out and let him get on with his career.

  7. CL : We should plan to win every game at home and pick up enough points away to qualify.

     

     

    Let’s turn Parkers ( lol ) into a fortress once more.

     

     

    We have a team packed with international players, legendary European nights with a professional and ambitious manager.

     

     

    Why not ?

     

     

    HH.

    Yip always hope, I’m just going to enjoy watching class players, even if we get humped aka PSG😱

  9. I would be suprised in any young players are just left to their own devices with no baby-sitting or placements together by the club,

     

     

    duty of care and all that.

     

     

    I was suprised to learn of Teirney sharing a house with another arsenal employee, and it was a great help when he moved down because he did experience home sickness.

  10. Big Jimmy

     

     

    Don’t expect too much of a favourable response from our host- as AT has learned MM is a protected species- like Kojo was.

     

     

    Don’t flounce either- as the eject will start carving another notch- Bankiebhoy’s advice might yet be the best line available.

     

     

    But I’ll be damned if I see this blog descending into pro-fascist and pro-Trump nonsense.

  11. SFTB @ 554

     

     

    I get the impression that I live inside your ego rent free.

     

     

    Get used to it — other people can have other opinions / ideas / brain farts.

     

    And the odd one might be a wee bit better than yours.

  12. Free pie seat gossip — back in the day.

     

    Club had no structured support for new players coming in.

     

     

    Ad hoc stuff from other players or people in the office who saw a waif / stray and tried to help. A shared birthday dragged out one of our more shy players when he first came up on loan.

     

     

    “Mrs” ML played the role of mother hen for a few years.

  13. I don’t know either way but I would expect the Club would have some Buddy system for young Foreign Players, if not they would be asking for trouble,

     

     

    Imagine any one of us aged 21 landed in a City on the other side of the Globe, planked into a Hotel, Language difficulties, Home Sick, A Bank Account bursting with new riches, When training is over and you are back in your Hotel Room what the Hell are you going to do,

     

     

    In this case, it’s wait & see,

     

    Hopefully the kid can recover from this and go on & become a star for us.

     

    Let him without sin cast the first stone.

    THE EXILED TIM

     

     

    After Styllian Petrov was brought to Celtic as a young man, he was very much left to his own devices. Living in a hotel room, not knowing a word of English and utterly friendless, he suffered loneliness, homesickness and depression.

     

     

    Only when Martin O’Neill arrived and discovered his predicament did Celtic do something about it and since then, the club has had measures in place to help players arriving from abroad to settle and they also provide the services of an interpreter.

     

     

    There is absolutely no way Bernabei has been left to get on with it on his own. We know nothing more than that he has been charged with drink driving. We don’t know if he was on his own or with a friend or another player.

     

     

    Too many people are guessing and jumping to conclusions. It’s that old busybody nonsense – if you don’t know, make it up.

  15. I cannae speak for anyone but myself.

     

     

    Madagascar Miitchino, Keep posting knowledge – I Love it.

     

     

    I dinnae ken how you can run down our maist Amazing Capitano.

     

     

    He is Ange’s mind on the field.

  16. Back to Basics - Glass Half Full on

    GREENPINATA @ 1:54 PM – lol

     

     

    Foreign player integration

     

     

    Complex no doubt but having a fluent language speaker plus a short set of DON’Ts should be a prerequisite?

  17. Gene et all

     

    Mrs Lustig was surprised when her man signed for the club at how they were treated, or not as the case was at the time, she made here feelings quite plain at the time, if anyone wants to call her a liar, fair enough.

     

    I would hope that the club have taken her feelings on board, but as I said, the young fella is from a place where the DD laws are totally different, I would wager he didn’t have a scooby about them in Scotland.

  18. Celtic have player liaison staff.

     

    Unsure quite their remit and the size of the team. Hopefully not a single individual.

     

    Agree that drink driving is unacceptable.

     

    We should also consider the off field support given to new, young, non UK signings

  19. My understanding is that Bernabei was lifted this morning so he’s maybe jumped into the motor the morning after the night before.

     

     

    Done that myself on several occasions as a young lad. I don’t think this warrants headlines on Sky sports news but a pig will grunt I suppose.

  20. We will Never be defeated Keith.

     

     

    I Love playing Pool and Aidan is starting to beat me. Logical Progression.

  21. Football players call themselves professionals(despite only a few jobs equating to professional in your passport sign off)

     

     

    They move countries in their 20s. Big waw

     

     

    So do loads of people and they don’t need a wet nurse

     

     

    On drink driving; most of us will have at some point. It’s not as evil as society has deemed it

     

     

    The day after a wedding would catch 90% of drivers

     

     

    PS i saw a hun site saying he was on cocktails in a restaurant on Sunday night

  22. Haven’t played pool in years, the only bar in the village that had a pool table closed a few years back, swithered about getting one as it’s too far to drive to the golf course and I do like a few after a game >:)

  23. Make no mistake (anyone been there?) Greg has started the Season Superbly well.

     

     

    The CL is indeed a different kettle

    Opposition managers / Media Ludge hacks talk tripe about our play because they know that it will upset some in our support.

     

    Want is to stop — just laugh at them.

     

    ““““`

     

     

    Exactly! 👍🏻

     

    Or get an uppity board who’ll ban the entire journalistic profession lol

     

    oot the door as…

     

     

    TIMMY McUPPITY ©️ (new uppity board) statemement 👇🏻

     

     

    `CELTIC ARE TOO IMPORTANT TO OUR FANS FOR US (new uppity board) TO ENGAGE WITH SUCH MSM SLIME, THEY’RE ACTUALLY WORSE THAN SLIME, BUT LETS LEAVE IT THERE FOR THE TIME BEING. OUR FANS WILL HAVE TO QUICKLY REALISE THAT, THE MSM, SCOTGOV, SFA, ETC, – DETEST CELTIC FC – THEY’RE OUR SWORN ENEMIES.

     

    WITH THAT SAID, A LOT OF OUR FANS REALLY NEED TO SHARPEN UP, AS THEY’VE BEEN TAKEN TO SCHOOL FOR A LONG TIME NOW, BY THE NOW SACKED PLC, WHO ENGAGED IN OLD FIRM CORRUPTION, ETC, AND OUR FANS SUCKED IT ALL UP, CALLING CONCERNED TIMS `TROLLS` FOR CALLING THIS CORRUPTION OUT, THE `TROLLS` ARE ACTUALLY MORE FOCUSED ON THE POINT, THAN OTHER CELTIC FANS, WHO THINK THAT THEIR BEING FAITHFUL??

     

    FAITHFUL TO WHAT? CORRUPTION? £49 – £52 – £55? OLD FIRM COLLUSION?

     

    THAT STOPS’ – RIGHT HERE – AND RIGHT NOW! ©️ (new uppity board)

     

    THERE IS NO OLDFIRM!

     

    AND IT WILL NOT BE ACKNOWLEDGED NOR TOLERATED BY ANYONE AT THIS CLUB.

     

    IT’S A SCAM – AND WE’RE CALLING IT OUT!

     

    NO MORE, ENOUGH ALREADY!

     

    OUR SUPPORTERS WILL BE RESCPCTED BY US, NOT CHEATED, THEN THROWN UNDER A BUS AS BEFORE.

     

    FANS BUYING CURIOUSLY PRICED TICKET’S THAT FINANCE PLC OLD FIRM COLLUSION, ARE ANTI CELTIC, ANTI INTEGRITY, ANTI PRINCIPLES, ANTI WHAT CELTIC STANDS FOR!

     

    THE TROLLS HAVE BEEN RIGHT ABOUT EVERYTHING, BUT LETS KEEP AT CELTIC, FOR THE TIME BEING, OTHER CONFLICTS WILL SHOW THEMSELVES IN DUE COURSE.

     

    THE 53K STH`S HAVE FINANCED A PLC WHO MARRIED THE SAME CLUB LIE IN 2016.

     

    THE PLC HAVE OFFICIALLY BEEN DATING SEVCO SINCE 2016 AND SOULED OUT FOR £49?

     

    THE 53K STH`S FINANCED A PLC WHO DESTROYED CELTIC’S INTEGRITY IN 2016, AND SINCE 2012`S OFF FIELD AND ON FIELD, `AT TIME`S` TRAIL OF DEFEATISM.

     

    THE 53K STH`S CALL FANS REFUSING TO BE PRO-OLDFIRM MUGS – TROLLS.

     

    OUR FAN BASE HAS A LOT OF LESSONS TO LEARN ABOUT, ARROGANTLY, CONCEITED, SMUGNESS.

     

    OUR NEW UPPITY BOARD WILL SHAPE THESE 53K STH`S UP.

     

    THOSE WHO DON’T SHAPE UP, WILL BE SHIPPED OUT.

     

    WE ARE A CLUB WHO’LL GET TO THE POINT, NOT DANCE AROND IT, LIKE BEFORE.

     

    OUR FANS WILL RECOGNISE THIS AS THE CORRECT, AND ONLY APPROACH, WHEN DEALING WITH ALL THINGS CELTIC, AND THE PATH FOR THEM TO BE FAITHFUL TO.

     

    TROLLS AREN’T AN ISSUE FOR NEW UPPITY CELTIC, AS WE ONLY SEE RIGHTLY CONCERNED FANS.

     

    TROLLS IS A LAZY, CULTISH, DISMISSIVE, TERM, THAT 53K LAZY, CULTISH STH`S, FAITHFUL TO OLD FIRM COLLUSION, USE, TO SMEAR CONCERNED FANS WHO RIGHTLY SEE THE BIGGEST BLOCK TO AN INTEGRITY LED, PRINCIPLY DRIVEN, CELTIC FC, AS THE 53K STH`S “Faithfulness” ??

     

    THE RIGHTLY CONCERNED FANS, SOME OF WHOM HAVE LAPSED IN SUPPORT OF CELTIC, TO MAINTAIN THIER ETHICAL, DIGNIFIED, PRINCIPLED, CONNECTION WITH THE CLUB, HOLDING A ST 2012 ONWARDS WAS A BAD IDEA, SOME MORE ACUTE FANS WOULD ACCURATELY SAY WHEN MON LEFT AFTER TIPPING 53K STH`S OFF, THAT THEY WERE ABOUT TO BE MUGGED OFF BY…

     

    PL`S (slow lane transfer window antics and worse) ??

     

    AND FOR VARIOUS REASONS LIKE, NOT BEING PREPARED TO FINANCE OLD FIRM CORRUPTION, DON’TLIKE BEING CONTINUALLY LIED TO, THESE LAPSED SUPPORTERS HAVE ACTUALLY GIVEN UP….

     

    – MORE, MUCH MORE –

     

    BECAUSE SOME SAVVY TROLLS AREN’T….

     

    – DAY OOT 1ST, CELTIC’S INTEGRITY LAST, IF EVER?…MERCHANTS!

     

    BECAUSE THOSE FANS SIMPLY STOOD ON THE CORRECT SIDE OF HISTORY, AND DIDN’T SELL OUT TO A PLC WHO THEN SOULED THE 53K STH`S OUT THE BACK DOOR TO THE OLDFIRM, THAT IS UNACCEPTABLE TO THE NEW UPPITY BOARD!

     

    OUR MANY OLD AND NEW ENEMIES AT UPPITY CELTIC, WOULD CONTINUE TO RUB THEIR HANDS IN DELIGHT WHEN THEY SEE 53K STH`S BEING FAITHFUL TO OLD FIRM £49 – £52 – £55? COLLUSION!

     

    BUT, BUT…

     

     

    `THE COLLUSION, OLD FIRM COLLUSION IS OVER – THE TROLLDIER ARMY HAS WON`.
