    Celtic Mac @ 8:25 am,

     

     

    Yes, agreed.

     

     

    Good run out, a few more quality recruits…

     

     

    Left back, CH!? The forward line.

     

     

    Think this team may start midweek

     

     

    Schmeichel

     

     

    AJ – CCV – Trusty – KT

     

     

    Engels – Calmac – Hatate

     

     

    Nygren – Idah – Meada

     

     

    Quite strong all things considered

     

     

    Hail Hail

    Interesting viewing watching the bbc coverage of the racist abuse at Liverpool last night. We really should take a stand next time we play the huns at their shitehole.

     

     

    I wonder if that incident will get coverage on shortbread today?

  4. Maestro on

    Didier Agathe (DD)

     

    was and still is the best right back since Daniel Fergus McGrain,

     

     

    We sat in block 409 row Y when he joined and he was fast and a brilliant bargain and truly outstanding contributor and blessed by playing with some true great players whilst with us.

  5. Chairbhoy on

    The GM @ 7:55 am,

     

     

    Backtracking so early in the season!?

     

     

    Hopefully we can shut you up about…

     

     

    Arne… Auston… A-dam… A’fore Christmas:))))

     

     

    Hail Hail

  7. Tom McLaughlin on

    Loved Engels free-kick from left corner of the box that rattled back off the post. An inch or two from a class goal.

     

     

    Arne had an excellent game last night although he faded a bit second half before he was subbed.

     

     

    Worth a start on Wednesday?

  8. Maestro on

    Timmy @8.51

     

     

    The only way something will happen or hilight it more as proved now with uefa’ action against them with the racism and bottle throwing etc etc down the river is if Calmac and the team walk off the field of play when it happens.

     

     

    I have said this for years now and it would have a knock on effect as it would be hopefully discussed by the media more maybe in other quarters as we a pre amble for the EPL.

  10. Chairbhoy on

    Tom McLaughlin @ 8:55 am,

     

     

    That’s a yes from me…

     

     

    Best deadball ghuy we have…

     

     

    If that free-kick would’ve went in, it would have done his confidence the world of good.

     

     

    A few pundits gushing about him – Micheal Stewart on Co-commentatory and Charlie Mulgrew saying as good as anyone in Europe.

     

     

    Wee bit to go there but obviously benefitted from a pre-season.

     

     

    Hail Hail

  11. Chairbhoy on

    Tom McLaughlin @ 9:00 am,

     

     

    Yes, I’m think BR&CO will want to go with Nygren and Engels, think Nygren did well outwide when he came on.

     

     

    Hail Hail

    I thought Partizan played very well last night.

     

     

    Interesting to see average age of the team ,a lot of young players ,might be a good idea to scout these players

     

     

    …………………………

     

     

    I said the same thing to my pal last night going to the game. I thought Partizan were excellent on Thursday night. They had some very good players.

  13. Timbhoy163 on

    What has happened to the JAPANESE left back ,is he better than Scales yes,as soon as Scales comes on as a substitute they Falkirk score,,so for me Scales isn’t a left back ,if Iniamura isn’t fancied by Rodgers then that’s another quality left back that’s required,

  15. Chairbhoy on

    Weebobbycollins @ 9:35 am,

     

     

    Ooops – apologies

     

     

    Schmeichel

     

     

    AJ – CCV – Trusty – KT

     

     

    Engels – Calmac – Hatate

     

     

    Nygren – Idah – Maeda

     

     

    Hail Hail

  16. Chairbhoy on

    Timbhoy163 @ 9:23 am,

     

     

    Yes, Brendan Rodgers said after the match he needed cover for KT.

     

     

    Liam’s display and Inamura’s inexperience probably made him take that view.

     

     

    Micheal Frame is with the B team but with KT not up to ninety minutes and “injury” issues, quality is required.

     

     

    Greg Taylor has ironically been on the bench for POAK, pity we couldn’t talk him into staying.

     

     

    Hail Hail

  19. timmy7_noted on

    I thought the starting 11 were a clear message to the board last night. Brendan changed every position where he believes he has a replacement that he can trust or work with. No changes to the wide positions and of course Callum. Pretty obvious where he would want to strengthen.

  22. Celtic Mac on

    We can put out a half decent team against the Kazaks midweek, cannot see any additional player being involved. Not a given by any means, they have done well to get there, but would rather play them than FC Bruges or even Partisan Belgrade. Maeda (loved hearing the goal celebration song live last night) is our best forward/goal scorer so Brendan may well have to augment him with a combo of Forrest, Nygren, Yang and Idah at various points in the game. Not quite back to Fortress Parkhead but we are gettng somewhere close to it so hopefully that wll hold us in good stead.

     

    Hail hail

  23. Back to Basics - Glass Half Full on

    Very enjoyable game last night.

     

     

    Missed most of the post match love in at pitchside.

     

     

    When I came back into the room, Brendan was talking about ties? … after which it descended into giggles.

     

     

    PS – only 3 games in, but Kieran is a clear upgrade on Greg, IMHO.

    Turkeybhoy on 15th August 2025 10:37 pm

     

    Only downside today,is the winger BR really wanted,went to Holland today for ,£4.5 million.

     

     

    Fekin shocking.

     

     

    ——

     

     

    Yip, TB

     

     

    I seem to recall Brendan publicly saying

     

     

    “this is the winger I really wanted, but he’s now off to Holland for £4.5m”

     

     

    I might have imagined it though.

  25. dessybhoy on

    The issue with Scales at LB is that he is slow , turns very slowly and can get stuck with the ball at his feet, at a push I would try Trusty there in the absence of someone who can play the position as back up to KT, I liked what i’ve seen of Inamura maybe he will be loaned out.

  26. jimtim on

    Good team performance last night , a few very good indivifual performances .and I thought yang did very well when he came on .

     

    I still wish we could get a broonie .type into the team . We all know what we’re going to face in a couple of weeks time , they have signed a few who could play without a baw .

  30. bournesouprecipe on

    Chairbhoy @8.50

     

     

    Great crowd – 42,000 for a Friday night, PPV game. AJ and Engels were excellent. Six changes as expected, with the qualifiers looming.

     

     

    Interesting line up you have there , – I think Liam Scales will start ahead of Trusty with Inamura not named for the CL ,this is the left back plan. Tierney building his game time, has been an improvement for the left side.

     

     

    He and Engels crossing showed up the lack of aerial threat, we’ve needed a striker since January so badly, it could turned into a song. Reckon Johnny Kenny will be sold or loaned , and Yamada looks very much a squad player option

     

     

    One concern is Paulo Bernardo and his lack of game time, Luke McCowan is far ahead of him and the Portuguese could be a surprise exit? – back to Europe. I don’t think Tilio is named either, so he’ll go to Rapid as scheduled as soon as we get the new winger, whenever that is. Forrest is so much better than Yang, but that’s another story, Engels and Nygren both starting was forecast earlier, but maybe down the road a bit yet, there’s enough fire in Jamesie to smite The Kazakh’s one more time.

    No Chairbhoy, no “backtracking”.

     

     

    As is your wont, you twist words and make things up to suit your narrative.

     

     

    No one has said Trusty and Engels are “poor”.

     

     

    Some have suggested we overpaid for them.

     

     

    Two entirely different things.

     

     

    As I said, you know the price of everything and the value of nothing.

  32. Chairbhoy on

    Celtic Mac @ 10:33 am,

     

     

    Completely agree…

     

     

    Think we go with what we have, certainly I’d be more nervous playing an established European side, yet we have the unknown in Kairat – obviously no mugs.

     

     

    For that reason I’m glad the home tie is first – a chance to establish a lead and see exactly what we are up against.

     

     

    BSR @ 10:33 am,

     

     

    Yeah, seemed like a great atmosphere there, Luke is a good player who is loving his time at Celtic and getting better – Paulo looks a bit like a lost soul, which is a surprise.

     

     

    Brendan said too many crosses last night what was interesting, they did look dangerous but were pretty ineffectual.

     

     

    Think your eleven is more likely to start but BR&CO like to play there best players, which gor me would mean Nygren and Arne both start…

     

     

    We’ll see

     

     

    Hail Hail

  34. Greenpinata on

    KT is a much better player than GT. Little doubt about that.

     

    But only for circa 60 minutes when he actually plays.

     

     

    HH.

  35. Saint Stivs on

    general headsup.

     

     

    if you are swithering on whether to go to the play off game you need to be aware, it is almost sold out with only

     

    single seats in the top tier sections being available,

     

     

    I seen several season book holders saying online that they wouldnt be going (and the same for last night), I was suprised at the attendnace last night, and the karat gmae general sale is well getting sold.

     

     

    noted also last night, despite several bloggers and podcast asking for dissent and protest, there was once again none that i heard, in fact it was a very good support last night,, do the general-sales persons appreciate getting to see the team more than the season card holders ?

  37. Maestro on

    Wrexham under proper stewarding and a proper development plan now worth over 150m and this will grow further after a small investment.

     

     

    Celtic are capable of this by playing in the big bhoys playground.

  38. ziggydoc1 on

    Kairat playing this afternoon and also next Sunday, which I was surprised by. Great to see Dane Murray sign a new contract and score. Still much improvement needed by him. A few slack passes last night but I hope he turns into a number one pick. I thought Bernardo did well for the short time he was on. He has great feet and twice last night shifted the ball in tight situations. I think he is capable of far better performances. Great to hear that the match is almost a sell-out.

  40. bournesouprecipe on

    BSR @ 10:33 am,

     

     

    Yeah, seemed like a great atmosphere there, Luke is a good player who is loving his time at Celtic and getting better – Paulo looks a bit like a lost soul, which is a surprise.

     

     

     

    ——————-

     

     

    Both Arne & Benny should start in certain games I think we wanted, Nygren because of his goal threat.

     

     

    Good explanation given by BR on the Kieran fitness rebuild.

     

     

    I think the Celtic support rank and file, back the team and manager first, and knock ‘the Board’ on the internet.

     

     

    As we all know ‘Brendan gets what he wants’ ©️ P67 👍- and there’s weeks left.

     

     

    He did have another telling insight with “You can buy potential at a million quid and two million quid.

     

     

    And a lot of the time, it doesn’t work. Sometimes it does. I will tell you a lot of time it doesn’t.”

     

     

    Maybe why there’s a perceived agonising delay in signings, we have to go back to a better market, by the end of this window, I think we will.

    The GM @ 11:58 am

     

     

    Firstly this putting words into people’s mouth nonsense.

     

     

    Fholk are capable of speaking up for themselves or not as is their wont.

     

     

    You said…

     

     

    “Some have suggested we overpaid for them.”

     

     

    You stated…

     

     

    They have halved in value

     

     

    I disagreed

     

     

    Are you sticking by that or backtracking?

     

     

    Hail Hail

  42. garygillespieshamstring on

    Chairbhoy

     

     

    Maybe splitting hairs a bit here, but while I agree theyprobably haven’t halved in value, we will probably lose money on two of them as we paid what I would consider to be far more than they are worth.

     

     

    Bit like bidding for a house and offering over the home report value I suppose.

     

     

    You know it isn’t worth what you are going to pay, but you want to have it anyway. If you sell it in the short term, you will lose money.

     

     

    I think this is the position in which we find ourselves with two of the three.
