  1. Beaten on penalties.

     

     

    In a shoot-out.

     

     

    In a friendly.

     

     

    And by the English champions at that – a team dripping with so much gold that money doesn’t mean anything to them anymore and they get paid in dragon’s teeth.

     

     

    And there’s some on here castigating our players, in particular, for missing a penalty.

     

     

    In a shoot-out.

     

     

    In a friendly.

     

     

    After said player(s) had more balls than half the team who DIDN’T step forward to take one.

     

     

    Get a grip of yerselves. Roasters.

    ” Not one poster on here wants to come on and moan about one of our Bhoys ”

     

     

    There is evidence aplenty which shows otherwise 0:-)

     

    Cheerio for now,

     

    JJ

  3. When Broonie was subbed today he went straight to James and game him the armband, telling, I have no idea, but obviously BR sees something he likes in JF, good enough for me.

     

    Bitton nowhere to be seen again, telling, for sure.

  4. No one is giving JF shit for the pen miss.

     

     

    He’s getting it in the neck because he been the same type of player for years now, with no sign of improving after playing under 3 managers.

     

     

    Celtic have offered him a new contract which he’s rejected, do we really offer him more money?

    JNP

     

     

    Firstly I hope your health is good amigo.

     

    Saw James being a Superstar too.

     

    Praying my Godson kicks on at Ross County this season. 19 is the dodgy age.

  6. What is the Stars on

    Bit of an EFE love in starting up on here….

     

     

    Dont worry that will soon change after his next howler

     

     

    I am sure he is a lovely fella off the pitch but unfortunately thats not really important…only what he does on the pitch

     

     

    Anyway whats really important is that a team should only have one scapegoat.

     

    Team scapegoat is a great honour,what greater love can there be but for a player to lay down his reputation for his team mates.

     

    Personally I like to pick a scapegoat and ensure that he retains the position for the season ( at least,and maybe for his entire spell at the club) in the same manner that a captain is selected (and holds that position even when he doesnt play he remains team captain)

     

    Only in truly exceptional situations should a scapegoat be changed mid season

     

    Some teams try scapegoat rotation or even worse again zonal scapegoating but I believe in good old fashioned scapegoating .The type where a player even takes his scapegoat status with him to a new club.

     

     

    So please make up your minds and agree on team scapegoat….EFE or Forrest….. or maybe even Dembele …hmmmmm

  7. Joe Filippis Haircut on

    We are talking about the same James Forrest who when he lost the ball used to sit on the grass and throw his arms in the air.He plays one good game in a blue moon which is not good enough he is not improving at Celtic in my opinion it would be better for him if he found a new club.H.H.

    The Huddle 8.47

     

     

    JF was offered a contract under the last management team, nobody knows if Brendan wants him or not so then why give grief over past performances or past knock backed contracts ?

     

     

    I would rather Brendan decides if James is worth an offer or not ?

     

     

    A lot of the stick/abuse he is receiving is definitely not on his performances since Brendan has been appointed

     

     

    Canny have it both ways CSC

  9. If,…….BR’s Celtic get into the CL group stages ?

     

    All the wee bits & pieces of the jigsaw will come

     

    together and a, golden season of…

     

    European games

     

    Hunskelping games

     

    Cup final trophy parading games

     

    Celtic Park / Green Brigade / Jobo-safe-standing-area-games

     

    DVD’s that’ll be worn oot wi awe the games oan them, types

     

    of dvd’s that will be flying aff the shelves….etc.

     

    But,…..if BR’s Celtic (dont) get into the CL group stages…..

     

    Well,…..I’m sure yeez know the rest.

     

    Take care Tims.

     

    ….off-oot…..

    THE EXILED TIM

     

     

    Yeah i think Brendan is trying to give James responsibility to see how he reacts, I think Brown gave it to him in Slovenia as well.

     

     

    Brendan seems to like James so lets see what happens. Only his opinion matters.

     

     

     

    KLV

  11. Regards Jamsie getting it tight on here.

     

     

    He replaced Paddy Roberts who had a great game???

     

     

    Horses for courses?

     

     

    Or mutton for lamb.

     

     

    Either way both were pretty rank tonight!

     

     

    Just a thought…….

  12. Or is jamsie getting it a wee bit harder because he KB’s the contract we put in front of him?

     

     

    Seems to me that might be putting a wee bit of animosity on a few CQN’ers posts…..

  13. James started off brightly on Wednesday against the Imps.

     

    But after about 20 or 30 minutes he faded out the game like May snow off a dyke.

  14. Gerryfaethebrig on

    Kev

     

     

    If we don’t make the CL group stages is Brendan a squirrel ? :-)

    Saw your post to Dallas the other day, hope all is good and you keep enjoying that work thing, when work is the only thing annoying you it means things aren’t too bad :-)

     

     

    I could imagine other websites or media outlets if any other team in Scotland held their own with the EPL champions (am more interested in holding our own with Astana)

  15. DELANEYS DUNKY on 23RD JULY 2016 8:20 PM

     

    TET

     

     

     

    I love Efe. I know what he does in this city. Efe is a Christian Saint. You will not read of his good deeds in the SMSM. I think they villify a good man who makes mistakes. Who disnae?

     

     

    HH

     

    ———————————————————–

     

    Other than one misplaced pass, played brilliantly.

     

    As for his charity, Efe likes to keep that anonymous.

     

    My favourite Celt.

  16. Reading all the headlines on NewsNow Celtic, you would think that Leicester had just destroyed us and their goal scorer had scored the best goal ever, not a mention of our kwality goal, not a mention of a pub league team holding the team that won the best league in the world to a draw, not a mention of a team of paupers squaring up to a team of……………….feck them

  17. Jimmynotpaul on

    D.D.

     

    Again I have to agree 19 a huge age. So many distractions and some players can become disillusioned.

     

    My boy was on a no bad contract with Gretna who obviously went bust, ended up at Airdrie 90 quid a week plus 50 win bonus. First three games of the season he was a sub. At the ripe old age of 18 he told Jimmy Boyle he was quitting, as he didn’t want to sit on the bench. He then went to USA and done coaching for a bit. So fingers crossed for your godson.

     

    Thanks for asking about my health. Went back to work on Thursday after 9 and a half weeks. I was delighted to return, that’s something I never thought I would say. No attacks for 4 weeks now. All I can do is hope that continues. I don’t mind admitting it’s scary shit at times.

    Bring him home?

    Keep it quiet gets best rewards.

     

    Love Efe.

     

    Just fed the baby foxes on the canal in Clydebank some quality chicken scraps fae butchers.

     

    Mon the Reynard!

  20. SANDMAN on 23RD JULY 2016 8:44 PM

     

     

    Spot on. It was a friendly, meaningless.

     

    Forrest still bottled it….in…a…meaningless….friendly.

     

    He’s a coward of a player.

  21. DELANEYS DUNKY on 23RD JULY 2016 9:07 PM

     

     

    Probably just a coincidence but I had chicken tonight too :-)

  22. Jimmynotpaul on

    Gerryfaethebrig.

     

    Thanks.

     

    Your spot on, if work is the thing annoying you then the rest of your life isn’t too bad.

     

    When I was really ill I didn’t give work a second thought. It’s only when you become a bit better that you even think about it.

     

    Anyway on a much happier note, when do you go to Santa Ponds and are you going to let young Miss GFTB post.

     

    P.S. You do all right for a guy who lives a sheltered life. :-)))

    Havent you heard? We’ve signed him on a loan deal already.

  24. The Inane Rambler on

    Enjoyed that game today.

     

     

    Turned away before the pens so can’t comment there.

     

     

    I thought we saw some good performances.

     

     

    If only we could retain the services of the young Manchester lad, roberts

     

     

    The chap from ICT appears out of his depth. Likeable, though maybe not at our level.

     

     

    Do we have a goalkeeping requirement? When was the last time we said that?

     

     

    Overall, happy. Couldn’t get too animated following out gibraltarian hiccup. Don’t expect to qualify for CL proper. I do expect adequate effort in the lesser tournie.

     

     

    Game face on lads.

    JIMMYNOTPAUL on 23RD JULY 2016 8:43 PM

     

     

    Great but very saddening post if I may say.

     

     

    Mr Stein always said, when asked, that the best thing about his job was not the silverware; it was bringing through talented youngsters, seeing them realise then maximise their skills by working on them, and going on to have careers ranging from steady to stellar.

     

     

    Maybe Brendan is the man to re-ignite James Forrest. I hope so. Such a talent as Forrest you don’t throw away till you’ve tried everything. IMO.

  26. What is the Stars on

    Maybe Brendan can get a few months of decent contributions out of Jamesie ( Like MON did with Bobby Petta)

  27. Jimmynotpaul on

    Foxy.

     

    Ok I will bite.

     

    The keeper saved it, James didn’t bottle It. He had enough bottle to volunteer to take a pen before five of his team mates.

     

    I not understand why fellow Celtic fans have to insult, some, of our players in such a way.

  28. What is the Stars on

    On the subject of Scapegoats……

     

     

    Who was your favourite all time Celtic Scapegoat

  29. Gerryfaethebrig on

    Jimmynotpaul

     

     

    Just showed her that post, she will be posting on Wednesday and already remembers Sipsini for replying to her “you post more sense than your dad” he wasn’t wrong

     

     

    In work Monday & Tuesday then fly out early doors on Wednesday morning for the week but am off till 18th August (my turn to cover the school holiday boredom for the wee blade)

     

     

    Astana away, Barca at the weekend home on the Wednesday for the Astana home game, am sure by that point my good ladies will be fed up of me so might even find out where that ACGR Hoot is and make a wee cameo appearance …… If nothing else at least to stand up for James Forrest :-)

  30. I’m lead to believe that goats of any kind, scape or not, are extremely popular at secret gatherings of gentlemen with bare chests.
