    What I cant understand is…

     

     

    We missed out on nicky law. … jon daly .. nicky clark…cammy bell… and a right few other free transfers. Guys who would have signed for £5k a week.

     

     

    We could have punted all our players and banked an extra £10m + and cut the wage bill in half.

     

    We could then have budgeted for the 15, 000 home crowds and europa qualifiers .

     

     

    Lawell is a scattercash..paying over £5m of my money and paying out good wages

     

     

    John park.. rubbish scout missing out on all that talent on his doorstep

     

     

    And neil lennon. .. hes the de’il I tell ye :)

  2. Surely the likes of Atajic should’ve started the game yesterday,how are we going to find out if they are good enough if we don’t give them a game.

  3. lennon's passion on

    @celticfc: RT @CelticFCPools: The winning ticket, A3373 was sold in the Jock Stein Lower Tier.

    Big Amido has moved to a different country and probably is not fluent in the language and is more than likely still living in an hotel.

     

    These are big challenges to over come before a ball is even kicked.

     

    I travel all over with work and know how difficult it can be to acclimatize to new surroundings, Amido is only a young guy and does not have a lot of experience of moving from clubs in a different country and culture. This is why he must be given time to adjust.

     

    The coaches will need to teach him to stay on his feet and use his physique to his advantage, the Scottish refs will give him very little and most probably penalise him.

     

    A lot of people have bemoaned the fact that since JVH left we have not had a big robust target man, given time Amido may fill that void, let’s get behind him and he might do just that.

    Thanks bud, got quite a few emails asking the same question and been out with few CQN lads for a pint a couple of times wanting to know why I wasn’t posting.

     

    Negativity about Celtic is something I grew up with. The bad press, the biased SFA, the superior bowling club fannies ‘we are the peeple’ and for every fiver they spend we will spend a tenner superiorism.

     

    That I could live with – they are now deceased and an ex club.

     

    I struggle to listen or read constant criticism of my club from fellow supporters.

     

    I have been known to pap people out of my car at traffic lights when they cross a line of acceptable constructive criticism and verbally abuse our club.

  6. Marrakesh

     

    Or a Clive Dunn as you said. I like that. I like that and made me think that, apart from carrant, we don`t hear much in the way of rhyming slang for them. Strange considering the Glaswegian penchant for that linguistic artefact.

     

    Anyone got other suggestions? A Blue Nun?

  7. The No.13 Shorts on

    Got to thinking.

     

     

    Why don’t we seek the services of Hartson or Sutton as a striking coach of the ‘take no prisoners’ variety. Balde could perhaps benefit from their wealth of experience in having achieved a succesful strike rate whilst combating the uniquely tolerated agricultural style of defending in Scotland beloved of the men in black with orange sash.

     

     

    Money well spent I would say. Mind you, Hartson would probably just tell him to “hit the c**t before the fight even starts.”

  8. Marrakesh express 11.36. I agree they are defo not huns but sonetimes I wonder are their positions so fixed that it is almost like they feel they have to defend no matter what. The guy who speaks about a sweedish laddie! a cert he called him for everything after debut and was screaming to buy another striker straight away and if he did not then plenty did. A ‘proven’ goalscorer still has to adapt to a new country, language, culture, team etc etc so no guarantee on an instant return. I often think that people who demand certainty of success might be better following the harlem globetrotters.

    Atajic was on the bench a few times end of last season but didnt really get a run out.

     

     

     

    Remember watching him warm up at a cold damp fir park.. after the league was won.

     

     

    We lost the game anyhoo… so even more reason to wonder why he did not get game time

    If I could be as bold to say the blog misses voices like yours.

     

    Hail hail

  11. I'm Neil Lennon (tamrabam) on

    if supporting celtic alone made me as happy as some of the folks on here, regardless of what we did, and how we played and who we signed

     

     

    i would be able to give up the swallay nae problem:-)

  12. coatbridge paper bhoy on

    Paddy, know what you mean , some of us are supporters who know the meaning of SUPPORT , not blind support, just support. On a personal note , my mother was a Gallagher …….great name.

    No 13

     

     

    Good shout… both were warriors….

     

     

    Bbj spent ages in most matches wearing down the defenders …but .. I remember him taking flak for being a lazy b … just before he smashed one in.

  14. Have I missed something regarding Pukki. Has he signed? I think he’s very much the “has all the attributes just needs to put it all together now category” – he has the technical attributes but being in the right place at the right time is often something that is hard to teach if not natural.

  15. 37 goals over 8 years, sure looks like the player Celtic need at the moment.

     

    In fairness he is doing well this year posting his best return ever, 13 goals in 22 games so maybe you have a point, I wouldn’t sign him but hey ho.

     

     

    Hail Hail.

    It was me who made that comment about Henrik .

     

     

    Good point regarding the deid clubs years of domination , in those days i hardly missed a game home and away it was like a form of defiance against them , I bet there are many more on here who would have been the same .Its always easier to support a team through the good times.

     

     

    Would like to meet up one day when I come back up the road to visit , my son stays in Drumsagard so not far from you , get a blether about Sunny G we may know some of the same Bhoys with us both being 50 somethings.

    goldstar 10

     

    tamrabam- All those leagues you mention are more competitive than the SPFL.

     

     

    thats my point entirely my good friend in celtic

     

    yet we pay more money

     

     

    thats precisely why i reckon good strikers would come to celtic

     

    15 to 20 grand a week

     

     

    and when i say good – i dont expect ronaldo or messi or rooney or the likes of these guys

     

    and im fairly certain no one on this site expects these guys either, but i think most of us expect a guy who can score 30 league goals (after all you said yourself the SPL is rubbish) for the 1 million quid a year

     

     

    not rocket science and its probably best not to sign 4 @ 5,000 a week either

     

    generally speaking they turn out like bangura, rasmussen and murphy and co

    Long time no see… Where’s ya bin ?

     

     

    No doubt you have witnessed the new Celtic-bashin’ CQN with an amount of surprise.

     

    The old CQN supported CELTIC.

     

    The present lot want Celtic to support THEM

     

    They think the club is is there to win consistently, so that their fragile egos are intact & their bragging rights to their workmates are sacrosanct.

     

    Your Big Uncle John would have something unrepeatable to say about a lot of our new-style ‘supporters’.

     

    Great to see you back.

     

     

    Good Luck.

    its not negativity, its a concern.

     

    We’ve been Billy Cotton since preseason friendlies started, and with the bank balance getting bigger there’s no excuse.

     

    ( you wanted more rhyming slang)

  21. TBJ Praying for Oscar Knox on

    Ohits

     

     

    In many ways.. its probably why the zombies crowds are high… defiance.

     

     

    Im just along from drumsagard… look forward to meeting up soon.

     

     

    I left govan when I was five… lived in penilee… but my mum moved back there early nineties and I often popped into the old govan arms to watch away games.

    kilbowie kelt

     

    im a whitecrook man maself and im sure you know that there are no shortage of celtic men from that region

     

     

    the huns are currently full of folks that dont question what CG or GW or fat sally say or do

     

     

    must of us are better than that

  23. Sorry, Paddy.

     

    I was unaware that you had already posted your thoughts on our new-style posters.

  26. Only time Celtic are front page pick on Shortie’s website is when there’s a defeat or some fabricated ‘controversy’………….must be the same wee hunned-up trumpet that scours the photo galleries for scowling shots of Lenny who makes the call………….

     

     

    Horrible….

  27. Tamrabam,

     

    I know only too well that the type of posters I was talking about would not last 5 minutes in Whitecrook.

     

    Good Luck.

    Good to see you back.

     

    The negativity here can drag you down and away. But l have heared at games when they played for us Jinky and Kenny getting it big time also Ronnie Simpson because he never saved the penalty in 1967. So what chance have the modern day player when none are even a light year from where they where.

     

    So nothing knew.

     

    I don’t know enough to know the answers all l can hope for is those who work for the club do so with a love of the club in their hearts.

     

    Last week l was in hospital getting operated on l had to go back in due to complications and will not work for 6 months or get back to Celtic Park for a long time. While in hospital l was desperate to get on to this site to see what was happening. When l did get back on it was …well to say the least depressing. Too many folk fighting with each other etc.
