  1. Matt – best Memory of Rangers was them dying in 2012.

  2. Hunderbirds are Gone on

    James Forrest may or may not be Chicken, I don’t know. Running full tilt towards an opposing player in possession of the ball, and then slowing up is, I am sure, exactly what he is instructed to do by the Manager. His job, out of possession, is to close down the options available to the defenders in possession. His job is to mark space. His job is to lead opposition players right down Scott Brown’s throat. It is not to tackle players.

     

    If he was to dive in to tackles and dispossess a player, who picks up the loose ball when he is picking himself up from his “brave” tackle.

     

    My opinion… I have made my point. I will not have to repeat it (ad nauseam)

  3. lets all do the huddle on

    just read this story

     

     

    oooo

     

     

    sorry

     

     

    but i cant agree with how it equates un-equatable events

     

     

    just tabloid feed

  4. James Forrest is a highly valued member of our squad. He has all the stats to back this up. When fit he will always be one of the first names on the team-sheet. He is a model professional, an internationalist, and a credit to Celtic. There will always the odd one out in our support who can’t see our ‘forrest, for their own self-planted trees, however we are a club open to all, aren’t we?

    Just caught a few of your posts mentioning your sticky keys problem

     

     

    I see you are getting a new tablet.

     

     

    However, if you are keeping your ‘sticky’ machine, AND it has a USB slot, then you can simply connect an external keyboard and use that instead of the native keyboard.

     

     

    If you need an external USB keyboard, then I have loads of them and one is yours if you want…

     

     

    Leave a note on here if you wish but I may miss it so also drop me an email at mstewart@ymail.com and we can arrange for me to drop it off with you.

     

     

    Anyway…Happy New Tablet to you.

     

     

    Hail Hail

  7. *** CQN PLAYER OF THE YEAR 2019-20 ***

     

    RESULTS FROM GAME #25 – CELTIC 2 ABERDEEN 1 (JULLIEN, EDOUARD)

     

     

    A hard fought victory and our 5 point lead was safely restored. And now just 2 games away from either being 1 point behind, all square, or 1, 2, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10 or 11 ahead as we go into the Dubai Break. The voting for this game was clear – despite the number of chances we created and passed up most of the plaudits went to our defenders: our back 4 hoovered up 64% of the votes.

     

    Again, all of our 10 outfield starters received at least 1 vote. Yes, even James Forrest (thanks Sydney ;-))

     

    So, here we go with the latest results. Thank you to the 46 who took the time to vote. The votes for the 14 players who took to the Holy Ground yesterday are as follows (with my own selections asterisked) –

     

    Forster: 0

     

    Frimpong: 8

    Brown: 8

     

    McGregor: 5

     

    Christie: 3

     

    Ntcham: 5

     

    Forrest: 1

     

    Edouard: 27

     

    Johnston: 0

     

    Griffiths: 0

     

    Rogic: 0

     

    Unused subs – Gordon, Taylor, Bitton, Bayo

     

     

    Therefore, the players receiving points for the Aberdeen game are –

     

    Jullien – 5 points

     

    Ajer – 4 points

     

    Edouard – 3 points

     

    Brown – 2 points

    That leaves the overall table reading as follows –

     

    Brown – 55 points

     

    Christie – 38 points

     

    Edouard – 36 points

     

    Jullien – 33 points

    Hail Hail

  8. Jobo – well done with your continued mammoth task of compiling the data and letting us see the output.

     

     

    Although I don’t enter any entries I still look on with interest.

     

     

    Can’t understand the comments regarding McNutt, as long as he sticks by Paul’s rules he is welcome to add his comments/opinions. Not supposed to be a closed shop with group-think is it?

  9. Seriously I know he was subbed but N’tcham was having a great game up to that. I can’t complain as I didn’t vote for him either but IMO he deserved a bigger vote.

  10. AOW. Totally agree, we have lost an army of Posters here and any new recruits are to be cherished & encouraged.

     

    I didn’t notice anyone giving him a hard time but I could well have missed it..

  11. Gerry, I don’t have a problem with GB.

     

     

    Only big Martin. 😁

     

     

    Some or their decision making and actions are questionable but I did some mad shit when I was their age. It’s just highlighted more because of TV.

     

     

    Noticed on Spurtscene that they decided to highlight a nothing incident with Leigh Griffith’s. Add this to the unequivocal ‘no red card’ 8t was clear a wee agenda was being set.

     

     

    Remember the reaction when Jozo put Miller into orbit? The outcry. Seems it’s fair now.

  12. ART OF WAR & CORKCELT

     

     

    Cheers – of course now that I have taken the plunge to start posting, I will not be put off.

     

     

    My opinion will always be fair and measured, however I will call things as I see them without fear, nor, favour.

     

     

    I know there are ‘usual suspects’ who like to ‘gang up’ to try to shut others down – it is water off a duck’s back to me. If they disagree with me that’s fine, it’s what a blog is for, but name-calling & insults just won’t work.

  13. Just to follow up on John Kennedy’s interview on the fact we are playing well but just not converting the many chances we create.

     

     

    We have a team who all look as if they are enjoying themselves and who believe that if they miss one, another will come along. Fortunately in most games this is true. Recently two is the extent of our scoring and you have to think that sometime we are going to rue our profligacy.

     

     

    The Ibrox club, on the other hand, do not look like they’re enjoying it, their’s is a determined and to quote SG, a “ruthless approach”. They look to strangle the game from the off, so let’s hope we rediscover our ‘shooting boots’ by the 29th.

  14. What is also very noticeable and dismaying. :-

     

     

    Posters who can’t be bothered to make any contribution until they want something or want to emphasise a point they may be associated with.

     

     

    Imo every poster who contributes on here now should be valued. The past is past , we move on .

     

     

    HH to all , the journey continues.

  15. Good morning CQN from a damp and chilly Garngad

     

     

    McNut and all – I believe that Sevco start at 100mph and try and put the game out of sight if they do not and around the 60 minute mark they start to tire. Full of bluster and get ball out to Tavernier who whips the same ball across the face of goal every time. Stop their crosses coming into the box and their game plan is fecked and they will tire.

     

     

    All my opinion of course and we all see the game differently as seen in Jobo’s competition.

     

     

    However we have the biggest game of the season so far on Thursday, let’s try and I emphasise try and run amok with St Mirren, 3 points is a must though.

     

     

    HH

     

     

    Ps there canny be more of these shopping day hells left with Mrs David66😂

     

     

    D. :)

  16. ’ who like to ‘gang up’

     

     

    I have never quite understood this opinion.

     

     

    Do the gamg members meet in secret and set an agenda ?

     

    Or is the phrase simply directed at posters who share some viewpoints with which other posters disagree?

     

    ie the raison d`etre of a Blog.

    As long as they convert loans to shares they will muddle on.

     

     

    —————-

     

     

    Re the above…

     

     

    Would this lead to a drop in value of the existing shareholders shares and overall asset value of Sevco?

     

     

    I know they will subvert any governing rules at any opportunity which always gives them some wriggle room but I can’t see how this strategy is sustainable at all.

     

     

    HH

  18. Júst read James Forrest’s report about Sevco charging 36 quid for beam back to Huntsville for Sundays game. Not exactly true! They can get a breakfast roll and pint although they don’t say if there’ll be anything in the roll.

     

    They say it’s sold out, hope that includes access to the “Wailing wall”

     

     

    PS it’s the other James Forrest not the invisible one who’s been seen floating around Celtic Park for going on 20 years

  19. Yuv goat tae laff!!!!!

    Just catching up.

     

     

    That is a well argued and reasoned point of view.

     

     

    Sadly received virtually no comment .

     

    Perhaps because it doesn`t conform to the accepted mantra on the subject which must not be disputed .

  21. Good morning, friends, from a disappointingly wet, grey and blustery East Kilbride. And a 12.30 visit to the dentist to look forward to!

  22. DAVID 66 @ 7:21

     

     

    I agree there does appear to be a Sevco burn-out at around the hour mark. It was apparent at Hampden even with us having lost a man, and in the second-half against Aberdeen. However in all these games they should have been out of sight by half-time. They botched it against us, blew it in the second-half at Aberdeen, but had killed-off a weak Hibs in the first-half.

     

     

    What will this mean for our team selection & shape on the 29th?

     

     

    Midfield is the key – Brown, Calmac, McGregor & Christie are certs – whoever fills the fifth spots will probably determine our approach. Will it be Forrest, or, Johnston, or, Ntcham, regardless one has to ask, apart from Brown, where are the ball winners?

     

    We will need ball-winners especially in the first-half. The way I see it Sevco will go in with a ‘nothing to lose’ attitude. They are five points behind, if they lose it will be eight, however win their game in hand and it’s back to five again.

     

     

    Another Hampden performance from us and we may not be as lucky this time.

  24. MACJAY1 FOR NEIL LENNON @ 08:30

     

     

    Indeed an interesting post from GG.

     

     

    Most ordinary people shy away from serious discussion on climate change for the simple reason that unless & until everyone is prepared to take a hit to their lifestyle, nothing will change. No government in the world will implement the measures needed until the situation gets much worse. Only then will people accept substantial change if it is clear it is the lesser evil.

     

     

    Is climate change real and man-made? Now that’s another question.

  25. St Mirren game is first up before the huns.

     

     

    St Mirren play the kind miserly defensive style (stats would look better if they hadn’t had the 0-3 blip vs Well) that or style really hates right now.

     

     

    I think it will be a tight game if we don’t score early. Need to turn 1st half domination into goals this time. Got to 5 points ahead for 29th

  26. Mc Nut,

     

     

    Interesting line up.Broony,Calmac,Mc Gregor,Christie.I did take it you meant Ntcham,but you then go on to mention Ntcham as a maybe for the other positions.” THE MC GREGOR TWINS.The only place they will be performing is on Hogmanay Special on BBC.
