1. Canamalar it looks like OCD obsession on 22nd February 2016 12:07 pm

   Sciatica will limit any offers, that’s why clubs have medicals, to be as usual, brutally honest, I ‘m surprised any full time team would take a player with such a problem.

    

   I mean a simple background check will confirm he is a sick note.

    

   I can see from comments my stalker sniping again, its good to be out of its reach, now was a personal insult made :) should it be reported :OD)))

    

   We don’t need players to start the Mexican wave, we need players to fight for the jersey.

   I agree. Our support is very black and white at the moment.

    

    

    

    

    

   There are many possible reasons for the change in atmosphere at the ground and on here. Many factors can be considered but I feel that, underlying all the negativity, sits the demise of Rangers and the Establishment response to that demise. It may well be a subliminal effect but I am struggling to find any other valid reason (s) for the general apathy which sits over Celtic Park at most Home games.

   Sitting in the sun in a pleasant 19 degrees in a jersey over my Celtic short sleeve shirt watching Malaga v Real Madrid yesterday I was thinking the same, the thought being provoked by a very nice Canadian lady watching her first professional game.

    

    

   First the negative. I paid around £105 for the privilege of watching Real in the flesh, the first time since Hampden in 1960. It was a special occasion for me so I was ready to pay a special price. Prices for games against lesser mortals come in around £30 but having enjoyed the match day experience so much I’d go again.

    

    

   The bus picking my mate and I up (him eventually after typical cockup) was full of all nationalities. This was reflected in the ground where Barca, Real, Malaga tops mingled together. Then their was the wee lad in his Celtic strip that I took a picture of and posted on Twitter. The atmosphere was good humoured and happy.

    

    

   Now one of the ways to be happy is to be grateful. To cultivate an attitude of gratitude and if there is anything that would change the atmosphere at CP in the philosophical sense it is to be a lot more grateful towards Celtic and each other as part of that Celtic whole, than we currently are or appear to be.

    

    

   Take JF leaving. I’m grateful for what he did when he did it, wish he had done it more often but grateful he is now thinking about what is best for him whether that be to go or stay.

    

    

   I digress.

    

    

   The Canadian lady asked me if Celtic Park was like what we both were witnessing. I said on CL nights it was unique, where the hair on the back of your neck stood up but on Saturday as I watched on CTV it was cold and wet with the playing surfaces at all grounds suffering because of the weather which made the experience impossible to match.

    

   (I said to my mate as an aside it would be great if Celtic could play in a European league with Malaga and suchlike in the same division)

    

    

   Now we cannot move Celtic to the Costa but we can change the season and folk just are happier in the sun ( or what passes for it here) and the light.

    

    

   There were beer stalls and sweetie stalls around the ground as well as beer on sale inside.(1euro 50 for a can) Oh and there were kids. Lots of kids of all ages with mum and dad or friends.

    

    

   So how do we change the atmosphere at CP? We change our attitude! It’s a game of football around which we gather socially. If such a diverse mix can do so in Spain why can’t it be done round Celtic whether that is in the stadium, in bars or on SOCIAL media?

    

    

   I’d recommend that Celtic send a number of supporters with their own staff to a Malaga match as ordinary supporters to mingle separately or in small groups to find out what makes the occasion before the game even starts so enjoyable.

    

    

   OK having players of the calibre I watched helps during the game ( Malaga had a 24 year old guy called Juanpi who was in the lightweight class of our midfield but he stood out against the Galacticos) but Malaga fans got right behind their team and were well satisfied with a draw. However even had they lost I get the impression they would still have been grateful for a great day out.

   John Knox, Calvinism,Protestant and Hanoverian succession, Orangeism, The Gordon Riots, Loyalist Associations in response to French revolutionary threat 1790s…Bigoted mobile preachers…The Kirk.

    

    

   And then….Health legislation and Prostitution, Institutionalisation, Covert government funding. Municipalisation…….Sexual Health Clinics.

    

   Its vast:)

    

   Lets keep Brainstorming it.

   I am indeed aware of player power…but that’s when you need ‘management’ of a situation. I suspect the way this is dealt with is players who hold out is to consign them to 18 months of training with the youths if they are being awkward. Get them to a position where they see its a win win to move?

   A bit more on Malaga & Canadians.

    

    

   The Canadian lady I mention above was part of a group of guys who were keen football fans.

    

    

   At half time they disappeared and on their return I asked the lady and her hubby if they had been for a pie and boil.

    

    

   A what?

    

    

   So I explained.

    

    

   The Bovril is a meat extract, a bit like Marmite to which is added in a plastic cup boiling water. That I explained is to counter the frostbite in the fingers as you use the cup to warm the hands.

    

    

   The pie I then explained is made up of the stuff they won’t even use in the haggis but both are considered a half time must in Scotland.

    

    

   They were groaning at my explanation whilst laughing when I asked them if they knew the best bit?

    

    

   They fell over when I told them folk actually QUEUE up to buy pies and Bovril!

    

    

   Football should be fun.

   JF will not be missed but we need a real winger with pace,. Play GMS on the left or dont bother. We should have punted JF a few years ago. he was never going to improve and showed no football brain. Great pace and an occasional good goal is not enough. He is never fit and eventually that becomes a mental block , scared to run at full pace or tackle.
