  1. We did enough to win today without being brilliant. Fantastic clearance from victor when it was 2-1. Saved 2 points which was absolutely vital after Huns getting humped.

     

     

    One negative. Thought the attack stopped functioning when Mo Bangura came on.

     

    So far he just doesn’t look up to the job.

     

     

    Overall a good day!

  2. Remember that Christmas Eve when we all did the Huddle?

     

     

    Just in, – wild and wet through the rapids of Dalmarnock.

     

     

    This was an incredible day, where I sat watching, Celtic fans watching Rangers on the TV’s at the back of the main stand, – then came the roar.

     

     

    A tight, tight game at Celtic Park and Paul67’s prediction yesterday was on the money, Kilmarnock are good side who made it very difficult for Celtic

     

    as the broke fast and loose, and caused us no end of problems, and in the end, we willed the final whistle.

     

     

    Sammi rightly takes plaudits, but this man Wanyama is screaming class as he mops up everything at the back, we went on easy street at the second goal and it nearly proved that even 2-0 is never enough.

     

     

    Celtic did well to win this game, but in poor conditions it wasn’t a day for James Forrest as Killie double banked on him, and pushing Ledley into midfield wasn’t a surprise or when Sammi headed for an early bath, after a fine double.

     

     

    I’d be surprised if todays starting eleven was changed next Wednesday.

  3. 3 points the main thing. Great stuff from Sammy. Hopefully no injuries. Bring on the hun. Mon the hoops and a merry Christmas to all

    My dear dear Henr1k,

     

     

    I don’t know what “M8” or “LOL” is in my mother tongue, but I thought I would take your advice and “move with the times” (see below) as you have intimated in your previous post.

     

     

    Accordingly, here is my Christmas message to you “PAL” in my mother tongue which I hope you will accept in good Christmas spirit, as you travel along on thon Scottish Motorway between Glasgow & Edinburgh which you keep referring to. :-))

     

     

    Have a good one ……and may your God go with you…..

     

     

    Ba mhaith liom beannachtaí na Nollag agus na hAthbhliana a thabhairt do gach duine anseo in Éirinn agus dár muintir dhomhanda atá scaipthe ar fud na cruinne.

     

     

    Cé gur gnách linn smaoineamh ar an Nollaig mar thréimhse shona, agus clanna ag teacht le chéile chun taitneamh a bhaint as an séasúr féiltiúil, tá a fhios agam freisin, go mbeidh cuid agaibh faoi scáil i mbliana le linn na Nollag mar gheall ar an dífhostaíocht nó ar an neamhshláine airgeadais nó mar gheall ar dhuine atá gar do bhur gcroí a bheith imithe ó bhaile agus ina chónaí thar lear. Beidh daoine go leor eile faoi bhrón de bharr tinnis nó báis sa chlann.

     

     

    Is saol corrach agus deacair atá ag cuid mhaith daoine faoi láthair, ach cé go n-admhaím an goilleadh agus an díomá atá ann de bharr na ndearmad a rinneadh, creidim go bhfuil an teacht aniar, an neart agus an chríonnacht ag muintir na hÉireann agus go sáróimid an tsoiniciúlacht dhochrach agus an t-imcháineadh agus go bhfuil an cumas ionainn dul chun cinn agus leagan nua dearfach den Ghaelachas a chruthú.

     

     

    Ba chúis inspreagtha domsa a bhí ann, go fírinneach, an nuáil agus an tseiftiúlacht atá tagtha chun cinn in am seo an ghátair sa gheilleagair a fheiceáil, agus na pobail á n-athnuachan féin i ndlúthpháirtíocht shóisialta trí chomhar a dhéanamh le chéile ar fud an oileáin seo, agus cúram á dhéanamh ar bhealaí praiticiúla dá chéile agus go háirithe díobh siúd ar díol trua iad sa tír seo agus, go deimhin, ar fud an domhain.

     

     

    Cé gur cúis imní an timpeallacht leathan dhomhanda, tá roinnt torthaí dearfacha le feiceáil inár gcúrsaí eacnamaíochta. Tá borradh faoin easpórtáil; tá roinnt mhaith dár gcuideachtaí ag éirí níos nuálaí agus níos iomaíche; agus tá neart san infheistíocht dhíreach isteach. Ach tá dúshlán mór fós romhainn – jabanna a chruthú agus an dífhostaíocht a laghdú.

     

     

    Tá éachtaí fós á ndéanamh againne, muintir na hÉireann, i gcúrsaí spóirt agus cultúir agus cuireann sin le saibhreas ár sochaí agus lenár gcáil thar lear. Tá tacaíocht leathan ann, freisin, do thodhchaí iar-lagtrá eacnamaíche, a bheadh á tiomáint ag cruthaitheacht ár muintire agus a bheadh bunaithe i bhfíorgheilleagar a bhainfeadh leas as ár neart dúchasach agus a chuirfeadh luach buan lenár sochaí.

     

     

    Táim dóchasach, agus muid ag baint leasa as ár gcomhneart agus ár luachanna eiticiúla, go dtógfaimid geilleagar láidir inbhuanaithe an athuair agus ag an am céanna go dtógfaimid sochaí chóir agus chuimsitheach a chinntíonn rannpháirtíocht a cuid saoránach go léir.

     

     

    Is tír í Éire ina bhfuil a muintir ag gluaiseacht chun cinn le comhchuspóir agus le comhaisling an dóchais agus an mhisnigh; tír a cheanglóidh feabhas a saoithiúlachta le saíocht nua-aimsithe atá saothraithe as taithí umhlaithe na mblianta achrannacha deireanacha seo.

     

     

    Is tír í seo a bhfuil cuid mhaith údair bhróid againn aisti; a bhfuil a cuid féidearthachtaí fós le samhlú go hiomlán agus le baint amach; agus ar mór an onóir dom fónamh dá muintir.

     

     

    Guím Nollaig shíochánta agus Bliain Nua shona daoibh go léir.

  5. Jmccormick – I was on way game so didn’t hear the item however I think the Hun you are referring to actually works for Rangers doing their own in house commentaries.

     

     

    It would be the equivalent of Tony Hamilton being interviewed.

     

     

    In the interests of transparency Talksport should point out this guy’s connection to the Huns.

  6. I am Neil Lennon - LTPS on

    Will Sleekit Sally be pulled up for his comments about the ref? Definitely criticism in there even if he is trying to be Sleekit again and make his comments a tad veiled.

  7. Aldersyde avenue

     

    So far Mo looks bad.

     

    Hopefully he will come good when he comes on with us ahead against the Huns and puts the icing on the cake with a brace in the last 5 minutes.

  8. glendalystonsils on

    E.T.’s on the telly. It must be Christmas.

     

     

    Don’t think I’ll watch it though, I caught a bit of the huns game earlier so I’ve had my fill

     

     

    of ugly misshapen creatures for the day.

    Tick Tock……….Jingle Bells…!!!!……what an atmosphere at CP when their result came through…….sets up Xmas day just wonderfully for me…..who could ask for anything more…..!!!

     

     

    WONDERFUL….!!!!

  11. what really made me smile today was this

     

     

    elbows got caught using his elbows, Sneaky Sally took off young Wylde to bring on Edu.

     

     

    4-5-1 up 1-0 with a lead to defend!!!!

     

     

    2 goals in a minute put paid to that, but its nice to see “Sir Welter” is still an influence around ibrox – this day just keeps giving and giving

     

     

     

    rangers dominated most of that 2nd half today and if Sally hadnt have been so negative, then maybe (more than likely) this day wouldnt have been so good – im having a beer now Sally and it tastes great, thank you.

     

     

    another thing that made me smile today and the commentators picked up on this too – aluko was thinking of going down again today, but the old 2 match ban thing obviously worked

     

     

     

    its fantastic being born into the Celtic family and every day im grateful

     

     

    today with it being Christmas, makes it even more magical

  12. I have my reason for disliking Ally McCoist.

     

     

    I witnessed first hand his behavior at the height of his playing days when he was “amongst his own”, or at least he thought he was.

     

     

    The cheeky chappie image has taken him a long way since those days.he was even described by our old friend Shugster as a “national treasure” .

     

     

    I take great satisfaction that his Christmas has just been ruined.nothing would make me happier if Celtic go on and twist the knife on Wednesday and he is eventually hounded out the door by the hoards he was once adored by.

     

     

    Merry Chistmas Sally..Karma is a bitch

  13. It pains me to say this, but there is only one thing that will stop Celtic winning the League this year and that is Celtic themselves.

     

     

    Rangers as a club both on and off the field are a club in freefall.

     

     

    The downsizing has taken its toll, this squad does not have it in them to come back.

     

     

    I cannot see anything but a defeat on Wednesday night, I am a realist, not a defeatist.

  14. Well Bhoys and Ghirls I trust we are all now really getting into the Festive Spirit.

     

     

    Big gig at Vigil Mass for me tonight followed by a few sherbets and I’ve set a timer to record the re-run of the St Mirren game on Sky from 6.00pm.

     

     

    Windy, rainy and (most importantly) minus 1.

    Re ‘Elbow’s appeal’

     

    I have just seen a replay on the main BBC news and it looks as though the actual contact has already been edited out- we see the build up and the Red Card but not the actual thump.

     

    Given that this is what the specially – never before heard of- boxing day appeals committee will see I predict elbows will appear on Wednesday.

     

     

    In fact I have a suspicion that if Rangers appeal then he may be able to play in any case as he can play until the appeal is heard – is this correct?

     

     

    Apart from that – great day to be a Tim

     

    Hail hail

  16. This late excitement is becoming the norm at Celtic Park. The supporters are getting better at handling it. :-)

     

    (aye right! )

    realism striking home, but the administration of the rules will still play a big part of the title destination, but keep plugging away its all we can do.

     

     

    COME ON YOU BHOYS IN GREEN

    Hope he does play on Wednesday night.McCulloch is a wooden one.

  19. NTB

     

     

    Your lips – God’s ears.

     

     

    In his press junket he states that he’s not getting at the St Mirren player – or was it Motherwell -because the world has branded Aluko a cheat (who pays his own way) but the St Mirren/Motherwell player has done worse (maybe – because he never actually says anything) – but he doesn’t want to offend the guy because… He goes on to say in his ‘if I’m being totally honest’ guff – that – he – has done the same thing – If he’s being totally honest.

  21. If i am not mistaken at the start of the season the bookies had Fat Sally as odds on to be sacked in January – still a good chance that may happen if we pump them on the 28th. That would mean a 17 point turn around in a very short period. Taxi for the fat Orc

  22. If ye cannae beat ’em join ’em, eh!?

     

     

     

    (just wait for the pre 28th sting)

     

     

     

    Aye!

    interesting take – 17 pts in a very very short period…

     

     

    We really should have this title stitched up with a bow on it already..

    Well today went as well as could be imagined.

     

     

    Santa being a generous chappy this year.

    Can I claim against the Celtic board for a supply of Grecian 2000?

     

    These nervy finishes are turnin ma hair grey.

    Does anybody know why Billy Dodds went ballistic at wee Chico for?

     

     

    He sounded livid.That was real rage,live on air too.

     

     

    Not very nice at this time of year.

  27. It will be interesting to watch McMoisty now, he’s entering a very tough spell in charge, players booked and injuries beginning to mount up, a hostile support, the lack of any credible future for his club and an in-form Celtic FC hungry for the prize. Collective amnesia over Govan way, the writing is on the wall.

  28. glendalystonsils on

    They disagreed about who was the better team in the second half. Chico said Saints, Dodds went ballistic.

  31. This time last year the team had three home draws. These wins against Dunfermline, Hearts and now Killie are very welcome.
