    Trivia

     

    Bobby Lennox still had not recovered from his ankle injury. Murdock moved back to right half, Bertie Auld started and John Clark missed out.

     

    On the same day Celtic Reserves played away to Partick Thistle Reserves and lost 3-1. The Celtic scorer was Callaghan. The team was Wraith, McGrain, O’Neill, Dalglish, Connelly, Clark, Wilson, Gallacher, Callaghan, Macari, J Clarke.

     

    Harry Hood was signed the next day from Clyde for £40,000

     

     

    Review

     

    Celtic won with the only goal of the game scored by John Hughes just before half time.

     

    Celtic were somewhat subdued but Thistle were even slower to the ball producing a game in which Celtic were dominant but toothless with crosses and corners failing to be taken advantage of.

    I recall back then squeezing into The Jungle wi my newly-converted bestie. Any big crowd was always given as 37,000. We always put it down to a plethora of priests.

  5. jimthetim53 on

    The explanation is simple. Priests getting in for nothing. Boys getting lifted over the turn styles.

     

     

    It was nothing to do with board members going home with duffle bags of money.

  7. jimthetim53 on

    That was the good old days before Fergus McCann. You could trust our board in those days. Always done what was best for the club. Sure Bob Kelly used to help Jimmy McGrory pick the team.

  8. NegAnon2 on

    Jimthetim53.

     

     

    Trying to figure out if you are being sarcastic.

     

     

    Priests swell official attendance by 30,000.

     

     

    They effectively stole the cash.

     

     

    The current board are doing the same by awarding themselves massive bonuses for poor performance.

     

     

    You crazy kids expecting the board to do something(anything).they are too busy stealing your money.

  9. jimthetim53 on

    Neg., Of course I’m being sarcastic. I’m trying to make the point that football directors have been dodgy for generations. Our current board are no different to the Kellys and the Whites. They always look after themselves first and foremost. Supporters come way down the pecking order. Just like Doncaster last week. To hell with the fans, as long as he gets his bonus.

     

     

    Some posters on here seem to think everything in the garden was rosy whilst we had the Jungle. It’s nonsense. That not to say I love Dermot Desmond and Peter Lawwell. Far from it.

  10. Bhoyjoebelfast on

    St.Stivs and Bobby m.

     

    Nice looking back on snippets of games I had attended.For me the best game,2 each game at govan may ’67.

     

    Two from jinky!!!Worse game ain’t none!!!!!

    My friends in Celtic,

     

     

    After the game yesterday we had the usual post match discussion in the boozer.

     

     

    One thing we commented on, was Leigh Griffiths nonchalant attitude in getting back into an onside position. Why?

     

     

    You do not see this on streams or on TV as the camera generally follows the ball, but BR will have clocked it. I wonder if the same attitude is displayed in training?

     

     

    This approach has already cost us at least once. Ie St Mirren

    I’m watching Goals on Sunday.

     

     

    They show the highlights of Southampton v Wolves.

     

     

    At Wolves second goal there is weak challenge in the leftback area from a Southampton player.

     

     

    He puts in a pathetic , weak tackle .

     

    So weak I actually pay attention to the players number .

     

     

    The number 17 , shrugged off the ball like a grown man disposessing a small boy of the ball during a kick about in the back garden.

     

     

    I often read criticism of the standard of play in the EPL.

     

     

    The physicality of the average EPL player is much bigger, stronger , and faster than the SPFL.

     

     

    A star for Celtic .

     

    Armstrong will not hold down a regular place in the EPL.

    DD if your lurking couldn’t make the BV after game, I was summoned to go out with she who must be obeyed, went to my local The Lee or Howgait as its called now. I could not contact you as I didn’t have your number and can’t get on to CQN on the oldest works phone in history, but no payments from me ???

     

    Anyways it was good to get a couple of pints before the game, and we will definitely catch a few beers together if you are up for it. ???

     

     

    Hail Hail

    Green,

     

    I noticed that yesterday too. Don’t get it, no need for such a lethargic approach. I recall one attack in the second half when he put up his arms knowing he was off.

  18. jimthetim53 on

    BCW, “Everything in the garden was rosy whilst we had the jungle”

     

     

    Didn’t realise how poetic that was! :)

  19. David66 on

    Good win yesterday and it keeps a winning mentality and momentum going.

     

     

    Bring on the Salzbergers, an away win would be great but a daw would be not a bad result either.

    Last kick of the ball first half a corner to us……..Griff at crawling pace as he goes over to take it,Brendan gesturing for him to hurry up……….no real enthusiasim or urgency from him,strange.

  21. Stairheedrammy on

    I watched Porto the other night and noticed a big difference in the physical make up of their players compared to ours. They had muscles on their muscles and were generally over six feet tall. Made our players look like schoolboys.

  24. gene on

    Great result yesterday

     

     

    Visited Bar Harbor and Acadia national park yesterday – beautiful scenery

     

     

    Hotel we stayed in The Bluenose ?

    Agree that the Board have always viewed the fans as sheep to be fleeced.

     

     

    However, the degree to which they have done that, and more importantly, the manner in which they have done so (particularly, the collusion with the league and the zombies over the last several years – think the shame game, 5WA, LNS – is unlike anything I have ever seen in my half century of watching Celtic.

     

     

    As you say, the Board have always viewed Celtic fans as a source of funding, and so were in many respect ‘not on the same side as the fans’. However, of late, they seem to have gone further and aligned themselves with others (the police and the league) who view many Celtic fans as the enemy. There is a huge difference.

    When Shaun Maloney went to Wigan (where he did very well), they had to spend 6 months building up his physique.

     

     

    He looked like a rugby scrum half after it in comparison to when he was at Celtic.

  32. sipsini on

    Flicking back and forward between the Ryder cup and the hun game.

     

    Walker is an embarrassment to listen to.

     

     

    As for the ones on here bemoaning our away songbook, tune in and listen to the hun support bastardise.. The fields of Athenry, amongst others.

    One missed tackle will not determine Armstrong’s future.

     

    Every player has an adjustment period when playing in a new environment.

     

    Aberdeen did not look vastly different to Burnley in their Europa meeting.

     

    EPL is definitely bigger, faster and stronger but still lacks the skill and technique of some of the European leagues as their lack of success in Europe proves.

     

    Scotland is about twenty years behind in coaching, technique and the preperation to be a complete athlete.

     

    I think Souness was the architect of Scottish footballs decline and our standing as football nation has paid a heavy price.

     

    He signed big strong athletes and used an old fashioned hunt em down and punt it to big forward system that previous passing teams like Dundee utd and Aberdeen and most spl teams emulated by signing big strong and cheap foreigners.

     

    This steered the Scottish game towards a physical rather than passing approach and compliant refs facilitated such.

     

    Strongarm tactics are a great way to negate skill and as recent performances from cheats like Madden and Beaton have shown with the right sort of refs they are effective.

     

    Celtic could in effect aim for bigger, stronger players but would this approach be tolerated by the whistling cheats?

     

    Until there is fundamental change and accountability at the SFA then the decline will continue.

    BP and PCS there’s a gentleman over here who was a linesman for “Big Tom” as he called him, he said he was above that scheidt of favouritism. This man is a 4th degree KoC and a fervent member of a CSC ovver here.

  41. i'vehadtochangemymind on

    Not for the first time in his short managerial career, Steven Gerrard has to find a team-talk that will inspire his players to turn this game around. They have looked short of ideas against a motivated and resolute Livingston team. As things stand, Rangers will slip down to sixth, Livi will be up to third.

  42. jimtim on

    We will have great difficulty in getting 8 in a row, because of some self inflicted obstacles ,ie lack of quality signings to replace the quality we lost , Sevco have been allowed to gain ground on us , which in turn leads to yesterday’s utterly shameless exhibition of cheating ,matched by wednesdays utterly shameless exhibition of cheating , which will no doubt be again matched by the shameless exhibition of cheating at our next game , because they have it in for us . And will continue to have it in for us , as they go unchallenged . For the first time in my 61 years following the hoops , I find myself questioning if it is worth investing my time and money in a rigged setup . operation STOP THE TIMS. Is well and truly in overdrive . We have according to the RES12 bhoys , 100% proof of cheating practices at both the former govan outfit , and the hq of Scottish football , but instead of lying low ,they are both rubbing our noses in the brown stuff . They have no remorse ,and in fact are ramping up the cheating . We have clubs in Scotland who are not a match to take on the cheats , but the likes of Aberdeen , the two Edinburgh clubs , and ourselves should have enough clout to muster a challenge . The fact that no challenge to the cheating and corruption has been forthcoming from any of them , highlights to me that football up here is finished .
