    Some of the reporting around us has been fairly ridiculous. I don’t know why everyone’s lumping us in with other clubs — I just don’t understand that.

     

     

    At Champions League level, we’ve fallen short of taking opportunities. I understand we need to improve that, but in terms of our will and endeavour to play football the way we said we would, we’ve been doing that all along. My only fear or worry I have is the boys lose focus or get distracted by the outside noise that somehow we’re not playing well.

     

     

    I know we are because all the underlying stuff that we talk about is there. That’s easy for me to say, but it’s about putting it into practice. The boys were determined and did that today.

    *SENTINEL CELTS PLAYER OF THE YEAR 2022-23*

     

    RESULTS FROM GAME #15 – CELTIC 6 HIBS 1 (FORREST(3), GIAKOUMAKIS(2), MAEDA)

     

     

    Good evening, friends.

     

    I wasn’t able to attend in person yesterday (don’t get upset, my ticket WAS used) but fortunately my perfect stream of the game made for a most enjoyable housebound Saturday afternoon.

     

    The first 10 minutes suggested to me that we might be in for a game of it. Hibs had a fair bit of attacking possession and seemed to be throwing men forward. But equally, it was evident that Haksabanaovic was being given acres of space down the left wing and fortunately our men at the back were accurate in pinging the ball towards him. So, after the opening goal arrived there really only was one winner. And I think Ange took big Haksa off at half time just to spare Hibs’ blushes.

     

    James Forrest took his chance to impress with his hat trick. Personally, I still don’t think he has enough in his engine to become a regular Ange player but what better way to join the 100-up club other than bagging a hat trick. Well done that man!

     

    With the recurring theme from recent games being about the number of chances that we create I suppose it was inevitable that somebody would be on the receiving end. And it turned out to be Hibs. One of my least-disliked Scottish teams but hey ho!

     

    That’s us now played 15 competitive fixtures this season and we have won 10 with 1 draws and 4 defeats (3 being in Europe). 41 goals scored and 15 conceded.

     

    As for the voting, my thanks as always to the 73 who emailed me their choices. I’m pretty sure this is the first time that not one of our 5 subs picked up a single vote. Oh, and as for my own choices, like most folk I had a short list of 5 or 6. But clearly I came to a different conclusion whilst narrowing it down to 3!

     

    The total votes cast for each player (with my own choices asterisked) are as follows –

     

    Hart: 0

     

    Ralston: 2

     

    Carter-Vickers: 9

     

    Jenz*: 3

     

    Bernabei*: 49

     

    O’Riley*: 4

     

    Hatate: 1

     

    Mooy: 30

     

    Forrest: 67

     

    Giakoumakis: 22

     

    Haksabanovic: 32

     

     

    Maeda: 0

     

    Abada: 0

     

    Abildgaard: 0

     

    Kyogo: 0

     

    McCarthy: 0

     

     

    And so, the top 5 players receiving POINTS for the game against Hibs are –

     

    Forrest – 5 pts

     

    Bernabei – 4 pts

     

    Haksabanvic – 3 pts

     

    Mooy – 2 pts

     

    Giakoumakis – 1 pt

     

     

    After 15 games the overall standings are as follows –

     

    31 points – Hatate

     

    26 points – Jota

     

    20 points – Jenz and Taylor

     

    19 points – McGregor

     

    16 points – Carter-Vickers

     

    12 points – Juranovic

     

    11 points –O’Riley

     

    9 points – Abada, Kyogo and Welsh

     

    8 points – Bernabei

     

    7 points – Giakoumakis and Haksabanovic

     

    6 points – Mooy

     

    5 points – Forrest and Ralston

     

    3 points – Hart and Maeda

     

    2 points – Turnbull

     

    0 points – Abildgaard, McCarthy, Siegrist and Starfelt

     

     

    Next up it’s a League Cup Quarter Final tie, away to Motherwell on Wednesday evening with a 6.15pm kick off. Not the best as I’m grand-baby sitting till after 8, grrrrrrrr.

    When I was a wean,my Da and his mates sometimes referred to it as the ” Cooshed”.The Rosebud bus,Tradeston.I remember it,and thought it did look like a Cowshed the first time I saw it.

     

    Just nicknames.Always the Jungle to me.

    A hat trick and 100 goals to elevate him to a rare group of Celts and legend status.

    Jungle / Celtic end

     

     

    My old man told me many years ago that the jungle was known as the hay shed in the 30s / 40s because of the shape of the roof.

     

    He also said it got called the jungle as the leaky roof allowed rainwater and rust to drop on the heads of the supporters and it reminded the ex servicemen who had served in the pacific during WW2 of the constant dripping of water in the jungle during their war service. Not sure how much (or any) truth there is in this, but this would suggest late 40s / 50s for the nickname.

     

     

    When I started going in 1965, the singing started at the back of the Celtic end. I think the singers moved from the Celtic end to the jungle sometime after the jungle being concreted and re roofed in 1966.

     

    Might even have been after the Springfield rd end was covered as Celtic hoped that the Celtic end crowd would go to the new terrace at the opposite end but it didn’t happen. Possibly the move to the jungle came with the realisation that more noise could be made under that cover than the half cover at the Celtic end.

     

     

    My old brain might be playing tricks but I am sure I can remember opposition fans in the jungle back in the day.

    Was a number of posts ago since you responded so don’t know if you’ll read this.

     

     

    Hibs more open than recent teams – you mentioned Dundee Un. I was thinking of St. Johnstone and St Mirren and CL teams who although didn’t park the bus had tight defenses and thought they made things difficult for our wingers and shooters.

     

     

    Re. subdued reaction to scoring I was thinking of GG and Maeda.

     

     

    You don’t appear to like my style of writing, no problem. I tend to hedge when I speculate. I don’t think I am better informed than anyone else on here nor do I want to give the impression that my point of view is unassailable, it’s just a point of view based on limited information to encourage responses, to see who thinks what. So thanks for your response.

     

     

    For what it’s worth, I think we’ll win SPFL again and so we should given our superior resources but I want more for Celtic. To improve in CL or even Europa League we will need to complement our attacking verve with better performances in mid-field and at the back and we may need to buy better players for some positions and to ensure substitutes are better. Our style of play means plenty of injuries and a need for substitutes. Is that sustainable if we want success on our current budget?

    JINKYREDSTAR on 16TH OCTOBER 2022 6:41 PM

     

    Petec- I didn’t take any offence from Jimmy, I think I got caught in the middle of something between others.

     

     

     

     

     

     

    Yes I am an ‘oldie’ 😀. First game was 1962 so I do have a lot of memories to share.

     

     

     

     

     

     

    I have met many CQNrs over the years – hope to make it to the Shipbank one day

     

     

     

     

     

     

    All the best to you

     

    …………………………..

     

    I honestly do NOT KNOW what ” insult” that I may have used against you yesterday, if I did indeed “insult” you then I MUST APOLOGISE, but it was NOT intentional !

     

    To clarify matters about The ” JUNGLE” etc, I am NOT in any position to dispute what some so called Journalist called it in 1904 and/or 1929, as Ernie Linch Posted the ” Article”, so I must accept that in view of THAT ” Evidence”, it woulkd appear that MAYBE a handful of Celtic supporters called it the ” Hayshed” back then ?

     

    However, we have NO WAY of knowing just how MANY Celtic supporters back in 1904/ and or 1929 called it the Hayshed ?

     

    MY MAIN POINT about this issue, was ” Just how POPULAR and WIDESPREAD was this nickname ” the Hayshed”, and HOW MANY Celtic supporters were ACTUALLY INTERVIEWED by this so called Journalist in 1904 and/or 1929 ?

     

    I asked ERNIE LYNCH to provide evidence that the nickname ” the Hayshed” was indeed WIDELY USED by the Celtic support back in those days, and I also asked him to provide some approx numbers of HOW MANY Celtic supporters had used that Nickname to him personnally over the years ?

     

     

    I havent read back fully this morning, but at the time of Posting this, Mr Lynch has STILL NOT provided any answers to my questions….nor does he need to ?

     

    I have been going to Celtic Park since season 1961 with my DA and his brother. Thru the years into the 1970’s, I would attend games ( Home and Away) with my DA and his brother….and many of their mates.

     

    I NEVER heard ANY of those OLDER Bhoys call it the Hayshed. Likewise, I have NEVER heard ANY of my Life Long Pals, Fitba Team mates, Work Mates etc etc…. EVER call it the Hayshed either ?

     

     

    I have NOT been PROVIDED with any evidence with ” How POPULAR” the nickname of The Hayshed ACTUALLY was, except the OPINIONS of some old Journalist from 1904 and/or 1929, nor have I seen any ” Evidence” of the Nickname being CHANGED to The Jungle…..so I would ask ” IF the Nickname the Hayshed was SO POPULAR and widely used….WHY was it CHANGED to the Jungle ?

     

     

    Again, my apologizes if I somehow I ” insulted” as PETEC has mentioned ?

    Big Jimmy,

     

     

     

     

     

     

    I hope you are well, well as well as can be – Wednesday Night must have been some tonic!

     

     

     

     

     

     

    I think you were wrong to say what you did about Jinkyredstar.

     

     

    …………

     

    See my Post above addressed to JINKYREDSTAR.

     

    It was NOT my intention to insult the man at any time, but I still dont know what I am supposed to have said/posted in relation to JINKYREDSTAR ?

     

    Feel free to enlighten me.

    How will history look back on this period of football? Russia hosts one World Cup, Qatar the next, state-owned clubs winning almost everything…

     

     

    not particularly well, I would say.

     

     

    Interesting perspective we might get a comment from 80 george st

    Hello again all you young rebels

     

     

    From a nice sunny Melbourne today, quite humid probably

     

    because everywhere is drying out after days of torrential rain.

     

    Finally just got home from our Celtic day on Sunday, don’t

     

    know why I say “ day “ sometimes it lasts a week lol.

     

    The princess said “ Mick if we stop for you to huv a pee at

     

    every pub, then you can’t have a pint as well, or we’ll never

     

    get home “

     

    Think she’s got a point 🥰

     

    Sydney cup and the bhoys coming to Oz has every one

     

    booking flights, hotels etc, with some taking their accrued

     

    RDO days, haven’t a clue what they are, I made sure of finding

     

    out phone numbers, and where they would be in the city, coz

     

    once that big boat of mine hits the harbour, I’m off and running.

     

    No doubt that her who should be obeyed will be manacled to

     

    me, with a clamp and chain, but I’ve escaped before 🥳

    We start a run of away games now that will go some way to defining our domestic season.

     

     

    The League Cup has been very kind to us over the last decade and with European football after Christmas looking unlikely, the league cup takes on more importance.

     

     

    5 league wins, semi final of league cup booked and a home win over Donesk has to be our aims over the next few weeks.

     

     

    The huns got an important win yesterday but their troubles are mounting and I suspect they’ve limited funds to spend in January.

     

     

    Morelos and Kent will both be able to open talks with new clubs in January, should they sign any pre contract agreements then you’d have to question their commitment going into the second half of the season.

     

     

    We remain firm favourites.

    Good morning all from Govanhill. Dublin tomorrow for 4 days then Kelso races on Saturday. It’s a hard life.

  37. Big Jimmy on

    As was mentioned yesterday during Mudderwells game v The Huns, the Pitch at Fir Park ( Is it still called that ?) looks in EXCELLENT Condition and will enable Celtic to play some good Fitba on it on Wednesday, so that alone SHOULD be helpful ?

     

    Sadly, there was NOT much evidence of ” Good Fitba” on it yesterday with ‘Well taking on the Huns.

     

    M’well were mostly DIRE, with the Huns not much better.

     

    I am still pissed off with the Huns 1st goal when their “Player” was ALLOWED to run 40 odd yards with the Ball, and NOT a Tackle going i….nor any attempt to pull him doon. Thats not the Huns fault obviously, but I can only wonder how many times any Celtic player will be ALLOWED the same time and space etc on Wednesday ?
