  1. lets all do the huddle on

    Good game and good result. Is there a problem at Celtic Park with a wind swriling from the old deid teamโ€™s end? Thatโ€™s 2 games in a row where rubbish has drifted on to the pitch. The corner flag next to the North Stand was regularly bent almost flat.

     

     

     

    that has always happened.

     

     

    even in the old stadium.

     

     

    always used to see safeway bags floating about the pitch once they had been emptied of Lanliq ๐Ÿ˜€

    Hibs right back might do a job for us.

     

     

    โ€”โ€”โ€“

     

     

    Doubt it bheaver.

     

     

    I believe Celtic outsource Stewarding and Security.

     

     

     

    ๐Ÿ˜€ that deserved a L.O.L.

     

     

    very good.

  3. Sadly my last Horse finished 2nd.

     

    But I still made a healthy profit today with the added BONUS of the PLACPOT coming up at Pontefract. Im waiting to see how much the TOTE PAID on it ?

    must have been over 50000 there today. looking round the stands there was no way there were more than 10000 empty seats.

     

     

    the irony is that celtic will probably announce a lower attendance for today than they would for a league game that has more empty seats!

     

     

    St Stivs will have kittens about that!

  6. For the life of me I cannae see how we are weaker than last season, ok we lost one of our strikers before this game, but we have crossed that bridge before with plenty of success, I recall a cup final when we had our 2 star wingers out plus one of our prolific goal scorers who was cup tied, in fact they were so confident of winning especially after beating us in 2 weeks prior 3-4 in a Glasgow Cup semi at Parkheid and walloping the sheep 6-1 in the semi at a neutral Parkheid that they had arranged for a party complete with accordion and flute bands.

     

     

    The Big Mhan countered all that by playing prospective centre half Big George and winger wee ten thirty as deep lying midfielders allowing Stevie and the Buzz Bomb room tae exploit the holes that the full backs had left chasing our โ€œwingersโ€, result Celtic 4 huns 0

     

     

     

    Lets fast forward 11 years when again wee meet the huns with our 2 regular centre halves, Roddy McDonald and Tom McAdam a converted centre forward by big Billy, plus midfielder Dom Sullivan out injured, Billy drafted in midfielder Mike Conroy, not to replace Dom, but to join big Roy of the Rovers as a double centre half pairing where they had big baw face johnstone and his acolytes in their pockets, result Celtic 1 huns 0.

     

     

     

    And before we finish what about the SC again, this time the semi plus replay, โ€œwhen Bobby plays Celtic playโ€ was out injured, so just 3 weeks prior to Lisbon Jock drafted in goal scorer supreme Wispy at right half with the cup hero of 2 years before Charlie Gallacher replacing him at inside right, result Celtic 2 Clyde 0 with Wispy being named MOTM in both games just edging out bully wee hero Harry Harry, who we would sign 2 years later, the first and probably the only player that I can ever recall that we signed after turning us down, oh forgot about former bairn Stokesie.

     

     

    Oh, and on the subject of converted players big Tam was signed as a right footed centre half and Andy Lynch a left winger, both Hun skelpers tae.

     

     

    Moral tae these stories is good players can play anywhere, as Daisy proved the day.

  7. Hibs goalscorer was on his own when he scored ,our defence isn’t good need a big Bobo Balde in there ,as I said on a previous post CCV and Scales needs completion,hopefully Brendan Rodgers will sign a couple of centre backs.

  8. Let’s all do the huddle, Celtic will announce the crowd as ticket sales as always!…..Hibs will be due half the dosh I’d expect

  12. Well done Celtic another fine performance .

     

     

    Hibs right back will have nightmares about aul grampa Forest taking him apart time and time again .

     

     

    Kuhn did the same on the other wing to their LB .

     

     

    Wee Greg always impresses me with his non stop running and moving allowing others to get space for a pass …..hes undervalued in my opinion …….

     

    (I would like to see more shots at goal)

     

     

    Missed going to the corner today as we were running late , so it was straight to our seats .

     

     

    Hope scaniel, St Stivs and weeron had a great day .

     

     

    Calling in all the favours I’ve done for 2 tickets for the huns game

    PLAY NICE .

  13. heroes are forever on

    good win today bring on the Falkirk, heard Brendan really talking up their manager John Mc Glynn for his work when he was at paradise.

  14. lets all do the huddle on

    is it unusual that we are playing on a Sunday again next Sunday?

    Tremendous League Cup turn out at Parkhead which was just the โ€œnext gameโ€ for Brendan Rodgers and his squad, who swotted Hibs with ease, for the second time this season, already. Difficult to single out a MOM from the many contenders Oโ€™Riley, Calum, Hatate, were all unplayable midfielders. Nicolas Kuhn beats men for fun including the goalie, James Forrest is the epitome of fitness and would have earned a first half penalty last year that โ€˜ the rules โ€™ say isnโ€™t a penalty this year. Johnston and Taylor were immense in the faster, fitter intense Celtic side BR and his staff, are putting on the park.

     

     

    It was Daizen Maeda a man for all seasons, that did the most damage in attack and even when subbing pushed him back wide of Adam Idah, he still provided the biggest goal threat until he left the pitch for his ovation.

    ‘I do know the team is still not stronger (in fact itโ€™s weaker) than end of last seasonโ€ฆโ€ฆ..at the moment, in terms of personnel.”

     

    —————————-

     

     

    As opinions go there’s little to support it. In our pre-season results where you forecast doom, we are undefeated and we beat 2 top EPL outfits. Last season we toured Japan and lost 6:4 to Yokohama, narrowly beat Gamba Osaka, drew with Wolves and beat Bilbao 3:2. Now I don’t put too much store in pre-season and don’t feel it has much of a relation with the way we will perform in the season to come, but, as I said you felt we would do less well than last season’s team and we didn’t.

     

     

    In the league last year in August, we beat Ross Co; and Aberdeen but then drew with St. Johnstone at CP- were you really happy with last August’s Celtic- you hid it well?

     

     

    This season we have remained unbeaten through 2 of our 3 August league fixtures (we still have to play St. Mirren)

     

     

    In the LC last year we got beat by Kilmarnock in the 2nd round. Today we won easily and qualified for the q-finals.

     

     

    For a poorer squad, we are punching well above what last year’s squad and manager managed.

    And if you know the history…..

     

    If you don’t ask St Stivs, Scullybhoy and Tontine Tim. Great historians of our fabulous Celtic.

  18. Someone sent me an email, a chap called brian

    Your attendance will be required 23 and 30 August. Just don’t tell any fooking jokes.

  23. So, Sevco replaced the dead Rangers and yet the Green Brigade call Sevco โ€œRangersโ€ loads a times?

     

     

    See when you be cheap and follow the complicit PLCโ€™s silent sleekitry, then you become just stupid and cheap looking, or kidding the arses aff yerselves.

     

     

    It was the 60,000 sleepy lazy Dimโ€™s who soulled out Celticโ€™s Integrity NOT the posters pointing out this betrayal of the suffering of long cheated Celtic fans who would have taught the future generations what NOT sucking up any โ€œPLC save the Old Firmโ€ sleekitry actually meant.

     

     

    The GB have yet to mention [ in eight-8 years ] the same club – same ticket price that not not one of these rebellious fans have said a single word about probably thinking that all Tims are as dumb dimb and glaikit as the 58,000 boring as fk sweety paper rustling fellow sell outs?

     

     

    โ€œMove onโ€ theyโ€™ll say, move on to where?

     

     

    The PLCโ€™s next version of Hunnery but play along and no one will notice that either?

     

     

    Thank fk my soul is keeping my heart beating with what used to be known as โ€œTimmy Integrity!โ€

     

     

    No fake dimmy will cheapen my Timmy Integrity.

     

     

    The x 60,000 cheap dimmyโ€™s soulled out….now they have to live the lie…and carry Rosemaryโ€™s baby.

     

     

    May God have mercy for the soulless x 60,000 Timmy sell outs.

    Expect “look a squirrel” statement from the huns around then…..

  26. Big Jimmy

     

     

    Do you really think Tom Alison or Susan Brown or Brian Wilson has anything to do with playing squad or transfer fees ?

     

     

    Honestly ?

     

     

    There are only 4 folk involved. And mostly just 3.

     

     

    Whether Brendan says thanks to the board or not.
