Killie are not great of course but Celtic never let them play. That is a hard thing to face, knowing you are playing better, fitter opponents but on top of that, every time you get the ball a Celtic player or two will be in your face. That’s hard to cope with.
The system makes it easy to blood young guns.
Most impressed with our back 4.

I have a wee pal i call the ‘Tasmanian Devil’. He used to throw them about as though they weighed almost nothing:)
Genius at it he was, some serious moves that kid could pull.
Many a time we were in the away end on our travels, what a scream.
The bold yin used to smack them with pies, or any change he had in his pockets, and then knock a few out:)
They were like ‘Keystone Cops’ trying to run away:)

The overall aim of the series of books The Celtic, the Glasgow Irish and the Great War is to give the Glasgow Irish community and the wider Scots Irish a visible presence in what will be, starting in August 2014, a five year long media event covering almost monthly, Great War commemorations.
The Celtic, Glasgow Irish and the Great War series covers the social and political history of the Glasgow Irish community from their arrival in Scotland over the course of the nineteenth century on up to the end of the Great War in 1919. The Great War experiences of the Glasgow Irish and Scots Roman Catholic community between 1914 and 1919 are highlighted and examined in detail. The major British and Irish political, social, military and footballing events over the course of the war are covered. All the subjects are examined through the prism of the Celtic Football and Athletic Club and the team’s sporting performances over the five football seasons of the Great War.
Book One The Gathering Storms
Book Two The Storms Break Season 1914/1915
Book Three The End of Innocence Season 1915/1916
Book Four The Blood Sacrifice Season 1916/1917
Book Five An Ocean of Blood Season 1917/1918
Book Six The Never Ending Trials Season 1918/1919
The first book in the series ‘The Gathering Storms’ sets the scene for the others and explains the political and social history of the Glasgow Irish community and the political and social positions of the community on the eve of the Great War. It tells the story of the formation of the Celtic club and the unique connected between Club and Community.
The aim of each of the subsequent books is to highlight the major social, political and military events and their impacts on the Glasgow Irish and nationalist Irish communities. They also explain and highlight the contribution of both communities to the British war effort. Their support was required at a time of heightened community tensions over Home Rule for Ireland and later the Easter Rebellion of 1916.
A constant thread running throughout all the books is the sporting performances of the Celtic Football team. Match reports and results for every Celtic game played over the five seasons of the Great War are provided including friendlies and charity matches. Also examined is the club’s management’s attitude to the war and on-going football crisis over the cessation of the professional game for the duration of the war.
Although it may come as an uncomfortable fact to some of today’s Glasgow Irish, almost every modern Celtic supporter who can claim a historic connection to the Glasgow Irish community will almost certainly have had an ancestor or close family relation who, like millions of other young men, was sucked into the maelstrom that was the Great War.
The End of Innocence
For political, religious and financial reasons, this period in the history of Celtic FC and the Glasgow Irish community has long been ignored or at best skimmed over by both club and social historians. These books are an attempt to explain and emphasise the massive and completely voluntary contribution made by Celtic FC and the Glasgow Irish community to the British war effort over the 1914–1919

TGM, excellent news. No need for the boy to bother with hedges, gutters or cooking. That what Kazakhslut.com is for.
So is it agreed that the wee fella is our youngest ever skipper in a competitive game? Some of our learned historians should be able to confirm.
I think Brendan giving Kieran the armband in these games is brilliant. I think it’s his way of getting him to stay. I can see a one club man in the making. I can see a legend there too.
Fabulous.

HH. When you back here?
DD, aye you have him, I’ll have enough on ma plate now wee James is back in seat 12 beside me. A great wee guy and always good for a pie run. I doubt KT would do that, although if he did he’s be fekin quick at it.

Dallas – not that i care about them, but when do other clubs realise that they are holding themselves – and their support- back in the 70’s? The current rules have made physical contact minimal but most teams who play against us use this as a weapon with implicit consent fron refs. It has to end.
There is talent out there but the game has moved on. When is everybody going to join us and embrace the joy of football?
Football is an enjoyment, an expression, especially for kids whom academia holds no interest. A chance to shine.
I still- at nearly 50- remember my best goal and it was from 20 yards.Nothing like KT from tonight, no record of it; just memories. Played in the same team as Pat McGinlay who had his 15 minutes and he was not academic.
Pat has done OK.
It’s all about coaching…and we have a good ‘un.

I suspect Kouassi tweaked his knee ligaments.
You can see as he stretched his studs caught and knee was at an awkward angle.
He pulled up at that point and the Ayrshire hun had a sly boot after but i think the damage was already done.
Hopefully he just overstretched them and did not tear.
He was looking brilliant till that moment.
He is going to be a star for us.

Best long range Celtic strike since this?

Jamesgang, when Callum broke into the team I and the Roaster criticised his tactical awareness and positioning. It was fair criticism.
His improvement it superb.
I’m glad to be proven wrong.
