    Saint Stivs – thank you for posting (in its original form) the previously much discussed statement.

     

     

    I thought page 1 of 2 was excellent

     

     

    I thought page 2 of 2 was absolute tosh

     

     

    Opinions eh?

  2. I see the BBC Scotland sports team headline for todays result for their favourites, describe Fraserburgh as ‘Obdurate’

     

    Having never seen the word obdurate previously, I Googled it.

     

    It apparently means, Obdurate – stubbornly persistent in wrongdoing.

     

    What wrong doing did Fraserburgh commit? Not lay down to the ‘mob’?

     

     

    Inebriated by their own verbal verbosity CSC.

    AT,

     

     

    ” All you had to do was state where you read the article”.

     

     

    Do you think that my Parents worked their fingers to the bone,earning enough so I could go to UNI,study like a man possessed.Leave with a handful of Degrees,so that one day in the future,I would be able to help an Eejit like you to find an article,that was in all available Media.Even my Dog read it.

     

     

    πŸ™„πŸ™„πŸ™„πŸ™„πŸ™„πŸ™„.

     

     

    Your level of education means zero,but where did your dog read it? That was the question.instead of reading your misinterpretations.which count for zero as you dont go near Celtic park.all you were asked was where did you read it,55zoomers could answer you couldnt.

     

    Didnt mean to bring out any insecurities in your educational background,the rekord or sun would have sufficed,couldnt see it on north curve.The question was answered by our resident zoomer,you with all your degrees just prove you cant teach common sense,be confident in your education,sounds like your dog is some pooch

  4. Talking dugs. .,Now your barking up the right tree.

     

     

    Your dogs been chasing that just eat guy on a bike.

     

     

    Absolute howling rubbish, my dog doesnt even own a bike.πŸ˜€

    “stubbornly persistent in wrongdoing”

     

     

    In my book – Shortbread are obdurate all day, every day.

     

     

    πŸ˜‰

  6. Very rarely do i care much for players after they leave Celtic.

     

    Henke and Kieran being two exceptions.

     

    However, I feel for Ange at spurs. Truly is a poisoned chalice

  7. THE BLOGGER FORMERLY KNOWN AS GM @ 4:10 PM,

     

     

    “Say something mildly critical about the manager and you β€œhate” him.

     

     

    What a world we live in.

     

     

    Here’s one for those who think the manager can do no wrong and is above criticism: I believe we are over-coached.

     

     

    Is that a good or bad thing?”

     

     

    In December we player R2ngers in the League Cup final. We won our third trophy of the year and the first of this season.

     

     

    Then, four short weeks ago, we went up to Tannadice to face Dundee United in quite terrible conditions.

     

     

    Now, in those four weeks, we played eight SPL league games, one SFA Cup game and had the Christmas and New Year’s holidays

     

     

    If Celtic FC managed to over coach the team in that time, someone needs to be getting a medal.

     

     

    Hail Hail

  8. Lots of talk about teams pressing us and being able to bully us, not sure that is accurate, we are guilty of overplay at the back in an attempt to break a press and seem determined to continue down that path even when it’s not effective. Its not a celtic thing persay its common these days. Given the pace in our front line we should be looking to play more ball over the top and pushing our midfielders up the pitch, not always, but enough to create jeopardy for teams that wanna press.

     

     

    Ps If it’s good enough for Madrid, barca, Liverpool etc then it is good enough for us too.

  9. The hand of God on

    One big game negotiated yesterday an even bigger one coming ilup on Wednesday, win that and our season is looking rather good.

    *SENTINEL CELTS PLAYER OF THE YEAR 2024-25*

     

    *RESULTS FROM GAME #34 CELTIC KILMARNOCK ()*

     

     

    Good evening, friends.

     

    So, the good guys progress to the 5th round in a game where we had loads of opportunities to win convincingly but ultimately were glad to hear the final whistle.

     

    Kilmarnock kicked off but after only 20 seconds Celtic had a great chance as Kuhn was sent clear through the middle. A slightly heavy touch resulted in a clash with Robbie McCrorie which saw the Kilmarnock keeper having to be replaced after a lengthy stoppage. Absolutely no blame on Kuhn’s part but a nasty collision all the same.

     

    The frantic start continued and in the 7th minute Kilmarnock won a free kick on the edge of Celtic’s box. Murray’s excellent free kick was met with a fingertip save by Kasper onto the bar. The rebound came crashing back and Celtic broke quickly, Kuhn playing in Maeda and Daisen should have done better than just hit straight at O’Hara, Kilmarnock’s replacement keeper.

     

    But a few minutes later and the breakthrough came. Captain Calum – who had started very well – engineered some space and drove towards the Kilmarnock box. McGregor composed himself and then fired a fine left foot shot low into the keeper’s left hand corner to give Celtic a well deserved lead.

     

    The next half hour saw several good chances fall to Kyogo, Hatate and Kuhn but in first half stoppage time it was Kilmarnock who got the next goal. Johnston could perhaps have done better to stop the delivery into the box but nevertheless we went into the break all square.

     

    An unwelcome feature of the first half (which continued after the break) was some very uncharacteristic poor distributions from Schmeichel. Fortunately, none of these were punished but it was very unlike our best ever goalkeeper.

     

    Around the hour mark I had the feeling that Celtic were beginning to turn the screw, fighting more for possession and increasing the pressure around the Killie box. And in the 69th minute Celtic regained the lead. Good work from Kuhn coming inside from the right and then feeding a fine pass to Maeda who, this time, made no mistake. And just 2 minutes later we nearly socred again. Twice! Kuhn’s fine strike rebounded off the bar out of the area to Hatate who fired a fine strike on the half volley which O’Hara tipped round the post.

     

    Kilmarnock remained threatening but in the 87th minute were caught on the break with Idah rampaging from the edge of our own box. Celtic were 4 on 1 on this breakaway and when Idah fed Kuhn, a goal looked certain. However the Kille goalkeeper deflected Nicolas’s effort behind and was promptly awarded a goal kick for his efforts!

     

    3 minutes later, Maeda had the ball in the net but was correctly flagged for offside.

     

    In the end a 2-1 victory and a bit more positive from Celtic which will hopefully increase the confidence going into our next game.

     

    We have now played 34 games this season, winning 25, drawing 7 and losing 2. We have scored 93 and conceded 28 (domestically it’s 83-18 and in Europe it’s 10-10). Thank you so much to the 78 who voted this time around. The total votes cast for each player are as follows, with my own nominations asterisked.

     

     

    Schmeichel: 1

     

    Johnston: 1

     

    Carter-Vickers*: 6

     

    Trusty: 16

     

    Taylor: 6

     

    McGregor*: 58

     

    Engels: 5

     

    Hatate: 30

     

    Kuhn: 44

     

    Kyogo: 14

     

    Maeda*: 44

     

    Bernardo: 2

     

    Idah: 0

     

    Scales: 1

     

    McCowan: 0

     

     

    And so, the players receiving POINTS for the game against Kilmarnock are –

     

    McGregor – 5 points

     

    Kuhn and Maeda – 4 points each

     

    Hatate – 2 points

     

    Trusty – 1 point

     

     

    And the overall positions after 34 games played are –

     

    58 points – Kuhn

     

    42 points – Maeda

     

    41 points – Bernardo, Engels, Scales

     

    38 points – Hatate, McGregor

     

    36 points – Schmeichel

     

    30 points – Trusty

     

    24 points – Kyogo

     

    23 points – Johnston A, McCowan

     

    22 points – Carter-Vickers

     

    19 points – Kyogo, Taylor, Valle

     

    7 points – O’Riley

     

    5 points – Idah

     

    4 points – Forrest, Yang

     

    3 points – Welsh

     

    0 points – Holm, Johnston M., Kenny, Nawrocki, Palma, Ralston, Turley

     

     

    Our next game sees us return to the Champions League for arguably our most significant game of the season. The rewards for success are clear but we really do need to be on our game for this one. It’s Celtic v Young Boys on Wednesday evening with an 8.00pm kick off.

     

    Hail Hail!

  11. From jobo

     

     

    *Clarification*

     

    On the total points, Kyogo is on 24, not 19. Apologies for the original error where the wee man appeared twice!

  12. Teary Mann. Peace.

     

     

    If the Green Brigade don’t attend then we drop points…and the PLC has to beg the GB to come back inside the tent again….making the GB the Rock which keeps Celtic alive.

     

     

    You x 50,000+ and Sir Rod the fraud wouldny be missed as you are invisible and ineffectual to the Celtic cause.

     

     

    Sly guy Brendan has shown zero appreciation of the GB and he demonstrated that FULLY when GB got banned for protesting about a Genocide – Brendan showed zero Solidarity with THEE most important group at the entire club – if they walk out – Brendan and his team get found out!

     

     

    If you and the silent 50,000+ lambs walk out – nobody would notice until Saint Stivs started to bawl his wee greeting face aff about empty seats and shilling for the extra money for the PLC that he and big Teary Mann worships.

     

     

    All seating sucks! All seating is a Thatcher Psyop FALSE FLAG operation at Hillsborough 1989 Problem, Solution, Reaction, approach, Government cause the Problem – Then they provide the Solution.

     

     

    RIP 97 Liverpool souls.

     

     

    Btw, talking about RED Flags, why have the city of London’s CCTV Cameras been turned off for months?

    Direct Energy Weapons, Microwave Powered Lasers attack on London, next? Just like Los Angeles, Hawaia, North Carolina, Gaza, Dresden 1945, Why did the Twin Towers turn to dust in mid air, and not fall to the ground as mountains of rubble, etc????

  13. Gerry Fraud/55 Monikers and counting

     

     

    You are not at peace,n̈ot with yourself

     

    Hence the change of monikers.

     

    Your only red flag is to the psychiatric team who should be checkin in with you

     

     

    ‘If Celtic fans called the green brigade dont attend we drop points’ wrong and is irrational shoit,par for the course for your range of monikers.

     

     

    Celtic fans called the green brigade are game attendees,you are not (nor any of your range of monikers-which in total amounts to more than is in the group of fans.You are a fraud moniker,the furthest away from anyone i know in the group.

     

    They are genuine in their following of Celtic,educated regards Palestine and not one of them ashows the levels of zoomerdom you exhibit in your last paragraph,the mountain of rubble is in your youtube filled brain

     

     

    Dont post sympathy for liverpool fans then post murdoch binraider links as one of your range did earlier.You dont trust yourself in one moniker dis a red flag you simply are not to be trusted.A fake.

    Good morning CQN.

     

     

    Could it be that we are just two days away from seeing the Celts in action again?

    gerry ferns…

     

     

    on a serious not :) the george square web cam has been noticed to be “wrong” whenever there was a demo in george square.

  19. Huge game on Wednesday.

     

     

    I know it is only to reach the last 24 and not the last 16 as WGS twice and Neil did on much lower budgets but it is something we should be able to do.

     

     

    We may never have a better chance to do this than this season.

     

     

    We have a team which has won 3 successive leagues and been augmented by expensive signings to fit our managers needs.

     

     

    We have a far bigger budget than many of the rivals we are vying with to be in the top 24.

     

     

    We have had a far easier draw than many of our competitors with many of the teams in our path having below par seasons.

     

     

    We are against a team desperately struggling in their domestic league who are coming into their second competitive game in over a month.

     

     

    Our opponents drew with the second bottom team in the Swiss league on Saturday and have the worst record of all teams in the CL this season.

     

     

    We will have 59000 supporters roaring the team onto succeed and desperate to see us reach the next stage.

     

     

    If we cannot come through this game and set ourselves up potentially for a top 16 place then it really will be a huge disappointment.

  20. Prestonpans bhoys on

    “We have had a far easier draw than many of our competitors”

     

     

    This is a old hun argument, from memory we played last season’s CL finalists, EL winners and two who made it to the semi’s of the conference league πŸ™„

    B78 Huge game on Wednesday.

     

     

    AT – it is B78,every Celtic fan watching on telly know this,as do us lucky enough to attend

     

     

    B78-I know it is only to reach the last 24 and not the last 16 as WGS twice and Neil did on much lower budgets but it is something we should be able to do.

     

     

    AT – You have a problem here B78? With Celtic budget of how they spend OUR money.

     

    why no mention of the numerous times outwith those 3 seasons you mention where we had abject failure on the same ‘lower budget’ why are you cherrypicking the years where club ambition met fans ambition? There is more of those type of seasons than the 3 you pick

     

     

    B78We may never have a better chance to do this than this season.

     

     

    AT with hope in our hearts B78 i feel that every season we start out

     

     

    B78 We have a team which has won 3 successive leagues and been augmented by expensive signings to fit our managers needs.

     

     

    AT CORRECTION – FIT OUR CLUBS NEEDS,Our club back our manager,you appear not to.you are preparing to fail B78,your recent posts have shown an increasing lack of confidence,setting our manager away from our board,as above,they are one,you are not.

     

    The question has got to be asked is what exactly is your problem?

     

     

    B78We have a far bigger budget than many of the rivals we are vying with to be in the top 24.

     

     

    AT budget smudget b78,football has never been played on a spreadsheet,again you are preparing to fail.again no mention of our record over 20 years in CL!

     

     

    B78 We have had a far easier draw than many of our competitors with many of the teams in our path having below par seasons.

     

     

    AT far easier- based on what b78

     

    Again preparing to fail you will fail stuff of our competitors having below par seasons.B78 your writing is reading that of a grudgin hun attempting to divide and rule Celtic,they are not as subtle as you,but it reminds me of a hun trying to poke holes in where we are.

     

     

    B78 We are against a team desperately struggling in their domestic league who are coming into their second competitive game in over a month.

     

     

    AT it does not matter,it is how we are prepared mentally and physically for our game on wed.

     

    Look to us,how we set out and hopefully get our victory

     

     

    B78-Our opponents drew with the second bottom team in the Swiss league on Saturday and have the worst record of all teams in the CL this season.

     

     

    AT means nowt,they qualified foe champuons league,many did not,including the team you see ‘green shoots’ of recovery from-they failed

     

     

    B78 We will have 59000 supporters roaring the team onto succeed and desperate to see us reach the next stage.

     

     

    AT i question your backing b78,this last week has been nothing but bizarre nonsense from you which is not what is expected from you in the run up to a major tie

     

     

    B78 If we cannot come through this game and set ourselves up potentially for a top 16 place then it really will be a huge disappointment

     

     

    AT we have had bigger disappointments B78,i take no part in you prep to fail chat,lets support the club,Brendan and the team when they take the field,not parts ,100% and lets have no i told you so which seems your post plans for thursday

     

     

    Get behind Celtic and make it a positive night.

  23. Remember sitting behind 2 Auld fellas at the League Cup final , big Julienne got the winner , and the 2 of them were giving the team and everyone in it pelters.

     

     

    When Moreorless fluffed his penalty and big Fraser made a splendid save , the consensus from the near octogenarian’s in front of me was β€œ I could have saved that β€˜. …. But hey there we’re having a great time !

    Much as i disagree with B78 in attitude to Wednesday and our club in general,he is real,authentic,not afraid to meet folk and does NOT have the range of personas that a few on here have.

     

    =========================

     

     

    Lets be confident and up for it on wed night my friend.

     

    Hope all well with youπŸ’š
