Everton in blue poppy shock -what would be the reaction if we did green poppies
notstartingapoppydebateCSC
Reading today that Newcastle scout/director /manager/ kit man Joe Kinnear spotted a young talent for his side spoke to his staff about this exciting new talent only problem was he is already on NUFC books -money for old rope
More to the point,why is any team wearing a poppy over a week before Remembrance Sunday?
This whole charade is getting as bad as Christmas displays in August.
Worse,it is IMO damaging to the income of the fund,as I am not far off refusing to part with a penny in their direction. And I would never have thought that would be the case.

they aren’t wearing poppies on their shirts it was a blue poppy wreath

May big Rab rest in peace….a man of ‘character’
Afternoon all
A thought has occurred to me over the last few days reading the blog particularly when the subject turns to the underwhelming performances of our strikers . Have we signed any player from a Scottish team since Tony Watt?
I have no desire to resurrect the Johnny Russell debate – although I do think that player or indeed the reviled Daly would have scored more than the three forward players we have signed recently against Scottish teams- but is this ignoring of players playing in our own league coincidence or a more deliberate ploy. I know that there isn’t a great deal of real talent out there but I think we’d be stupid to ignore players on our own doorstep.
Obviously if I’ve forgotten somebody we have signed since the summer of 2011 my point is an even stupider one than usual

GENE.
Fair enough. What was the minute silence for at yesterday’s Newcastle v Chelsea match?
The sound was turned down in the pub where I watched the first half,so I genuinely do not know,but the people around me were sure it was for Remembrance Day. And-even in England-they were none too happy about it.
JIMBO67
Renowned as a font of knowledge on Celtic’s history,but unsure of yer facts where the last coupla years are concerned?
I know the feeling,bud-apart from the first bit.
It happens as you approach pensionable age!
Kickinthe,
That is intriguing. It would be brilliant to see Aiden back. Well, thanks for responding. Aiden Moscow were daft to allow Aiden to run down his contract.
John O Neil
Whether it comes to anything is a different matter…

Good afternoon all

I take exception to your ageist remark about memory problems as one approaches pensionable age. As you know, I am well past pensionable age and, er, shoite forgot what I was to say. Hahahaha. How you today kiddo?

A team who bring in promising youngsters then try to improve them before selling them on for a profit are hardly likely to splash the cash on a proven goalscorer just as they would be reluctant to sign an older player who is coming to the end of his career.When bringing in these youngsters they are aware that not all of them will succeed so if two out of every say five make it and earn the club big money from transfers im sure the club would be happy.Some of us as Celtic supporters still have not accepted we are now a feeder club.In 1967 we were the kings of Europe but we have never reached that height again and the way football is structured and the money involved we are most unlikely to do so again.Taking that into account Neil Lennon is doing a first class job at Parkhead and if you are unsure just think back to the recent past and our performances under Tony Mowbray.H.H.
……………………………………………….
The point is that we’re telling them they SHOULD splash the cash (not an unaffordable amount) on a striker. The situation at the moment is different from normal times. We have taken in a lot of money and we can afford to spend some of it on a proven goalscorer a la FInboggasson. No one is suggesting Neil Lennon is not doing a stellar job. Just give us a bloody striker an be done with it.
Everton v Spurs is so boring I’ve turned over to Motherwell v Hibs. Greatest league in the world my……………

Aye I know – happens to us all. I can remember undistinguished matches from 30 years ago but struggle to remember similarly uninspired ones from last season
I blame Catholic schools – and drink

The hairiest man in Scottish football takes to the field again for Hibs.
joe fillipi
im not saying lenny isnt doing a good job either
but that doesnt mean the strike force is quite weak
im not sure how many out of every five signings we can sell for big money either
but lets just say that it was 5 out of 5
would that entitle us to buy a proven striker or would that be board bashing for even having the temerity to suggest such a thing
jimbo67
Mainly drink, I can assure you. :))

Interesting comment re how good Pukki might be considered if he wasn’t playing for us
Problem is …he is playing for us and is complete pish
edit. strike force is quite weak should say isnt quite weak

Greetings Bhoys and Ghrils,
Just up again and reading back. ( Went back to bed after taking mini Greenpinata into town ) As usual some excellent contributions, and has previously been stated it takes all type of contribution to ensure a successful blog. Positive / Negative. Praise / Criticism. Pro-active / Reactive. We have had them all.
While I can appreciate the sentiments of those ( Many esteemed posters ) who are calling for a major signing of a goal scorer in January I think the reality of the market will dictate. We all seem to agree that we have not got the firepower up front that we would wish, indeed need but acquiring a top class striker may prove to be an impossible ask.
I do not think the fee would necessary deter but the wage bill most definitely would. Withstanding dressing room harmony how do we persuade an accomplished striker to ply his trade here?
Our game if not dying is in serious decline, realistically our season depends on European football. Is it any wonder that the game was played yesterday with one eye in Amsterdam. The importance of Wednesday’s game is such that 1-1 was IMO a good result.
Hearts will go down and another four games we love to win will be lost. In domestic football more fans will continue to vote with their feet.
Like it or not; one contributory factor in selling our game ( To both fans and potential players ) was the “Old firm” games. Again like it or not the demand and the ticket pricing proved this.
We will win the league full stop. No ifs or buts. Is this predictable-. Yes. Is this healthy- No. Is this sustainable- No. not in the long term.
In this context NFL and the players are to be commended. As is Peter Lawwell.
Does Scottish football need, want or wish to have some entity of the club formally known as “Rangers” back in the top flight. I am undecided. I never thought I ever would be.
On one hand : I want them gone, kaput and liquidated ( Liquidated in the true meaning not a redefinition of the Oxford dictionary )
On the other : Dismiss all morals,If we are to stay in Scottish football we need competition and dare I say it more excitement, less predictability and a focus for our contempt and intense dislike.
On a personal note if we were to draw them in the cup. I would go to Parkhead but I could not bring myself to go to Ibrokes. However I would never criticise any fans who would always choose to support the team.
In summary, IMO the status quo is unsustainable in the medium to long term and the only answer is to redouble our efforts using every available media outlet means to try and join the 20% of non English clubs in the premiership. Failing that a European league would then be the next and possibly more feasible option.
HH, Always in Celtic.
Re- Aiden,would love to see our prodigal son return
home,but seriously doubt it will happen……think too
much interest from the EPL especially if he is on a
free………plus all the sh#t he would have to put up
with here, booed every time he touched the ball and
kicked up and down the park.
JIMBO67
I think WEEFRATHETIM nailed it!
McGeady is the type of creative player we need to create more for our strikers but he’ll be EPL bound, probably Everton, in January.
McGeady ….out of our price range
BMCUWP
He sure did’

The hairiest man in Scottish football takes to the field again for Hibs.
………………………………………………………………….
I’m presuming your talking about Vine, the guy with the Taliban beard. Every time I see him I think,” You’re a hopeless striker. What can you possibly do to get people to look at you and notice that you’re a hopeless striker?”
Valentines, booing would not affect Aiden. He made a fascinating decision to play in Russia. A few Scottish bigots wouldn’t stop Aiden returning. I suspect Kayal may be correct.
Kayal33
Martinez is a big fan of Aiden, and he is outwith our wage bracket.
Don’t think McGaedy and Lennon ever hit it off in the past. Can remember at least two occasions when they publicly had to be seperated after having a real go at each other, probably had more spats privately at the training ground.
Not withstanding the pay structure, just can’t see it.
A Kayal33 hinted, Aiden is going to Everton in January.
“Want to go for a night out with George Galloway, Iggy Pop and Christina Hendriks? ”
“No thanks. Pfayr and Sydney Tim are giving a lecture on Celtic’s many failings. “
All,
Let us not get involved in the Poppy scenario again. Each to their own, but lets ensure our club is not embarrassed again.
HH, Always in Celtic.
Still struggle to think of anyone since Bertie who left us then came back successfully.
Aiden left us with fond memories and a good fee. For me,I would leave it at that,rather than run the risk of tarnishing those memories.
I loved Aiden at Celtic although always felt he should have scored more goals.
There are plenty of players within our budget who would improve our team.

Griffiths
Ryan Fraser
The above are small gambles and have proven themselves at domestic level. Some even have international experience. £2m would buy the lot.
