    I did not fancy NFL when he was appointed.

     

     

    But do now!

     

     

    More power to his elbow.

    Philbhoy 8.35pm

     

     

    I totally get that … even though we don’t read or listen to the media … while reading & listening … Neil was put out there as a “downgrade” against his predecessor… Neil wants to be there, Neil hurts like me & you, maybe stories of Rafa Benitez, Mourinho abs whoever else … Celtic (in my wee daft opinion) is a fairy tale club, Billy McNeill led us to the Centenary double, Martin O’Neill will be remembered for Seville (a season we won the square root of eff all) … for me .. Neil is my type of Celtic … 9 or 10 ? If we end up with 8 it won’t be without Neil giving us everything … and a wee side note .. he has our team playing very entertaining fitba … and Europe after Christmas .. what’s not too like

  3. Billy Bhoy on

    I was hoping to see some more changes today than we saw. It would have been good to rest Broony, Calmac and Forrest and see Rogic and Sinclair. At least NtCham got a start.

     

     

    I thought Ollie was MOTM followed by Broony and Hayes. But there wasn’t really a poor performer as we’re playing to such a good consistent level.

     

     

    I really enjoyed today – apart from the erratic refereeing and the usual fud-like behaviour from standing section. “Shove your poppy up your arse”. How grown up and dignified eh?

  4. !!Bada Bing!! on

    SS–sobering post,I think we lost 7 players,we should maybe commemerate our own at this time,the added ‘wars’ is totally decisive and a money maker

  5. david17 on

    Solid perforce today. Just noticed Motherwell did not manage a shot on target. And we have managed 4 clean sheets in a row in the League. In Lennys first spell during his final season i believe we set the League record for most consecutive clean sheets. This team is looking super solid and that bodes well. I thought the forward players played within themselves today and done just enough. The Livingston game feels like a lifetime ago, i said at the time we would bounce back because we always do but to have won every game since was beyond expectations. A well earned rest over the next fortnight then safe in the knowledge that the next phase up to New year will be absolutely vital.

    As somebody who goes to a lot of Celtic games were you happy when Neil was appointed ?

     

     

    I agree with you about Brendan being appreciated (apart fae the midnight flit) but were you confident about Neil being a success

  8. Hunderbirds are Gone on

    Just catching up before an early night. Only saw BBC “Highlights” of the game, so won’t be participating in Jobo’s poll. If I did, using that research material, I would have to vote for the Murderwell Manager and two of their players.

     

    PHILBHOY, brilliant, well said. I reckon a few on here have been close to that. Still got the giggles.

    I thought Celtic set the tone before the minutes silence by announcing exactly how the Wars had impacted upon Celtic players of that time but also their families and I’m sure also countless supporters were either killed in service or had family members affected. The conditions during the world wars are unimaginable. Whilst the poppy has been hijacked as a political symbol in recent years it originated in 1921. I don’t wear a poppy for my own reasons and everyone has a right not to wear one and should never be pressured or forced to wear one. And that is where the debate should end. It was heartening today to see some of the old Celtic values shine through when the ‘shove your poppy’ singing was met with a chorus of booing. There was no need for that song whatsoever.

  10. GFTB on

    Hunderbirds 9.25pm

     

     

    Am gutted when I can’t take part in Jobo’s experiment … when I don’t witness the 90mins… I have started asking friends & family who their top 3 players are … there are many differing opinions

     

     

    As for that Philbhoy character out of the 3 of us am sure he left without covering his round :-)!:-)

    Billy Bhoy at 8.50. We’ve all been guilty of generalisations. The cringeworthy ‘shove yer poppy’ was orchestrated and sung bu=y those at the front of the safe standing section, the area where most of the Green Brigade are housed. The majority of ths standing section, including Yours Truly, did not join in, I can assure you.

     

    As an aside, most of those who are in that front section decided not to take up their places until after the minutes silence. Something that I don’t quite understand.

     

    Time for my recorded Sportscene…

    GFTB on 10TH NOVEMBER 2019 9:24 PM

     

     

    To be honest i was happy Neil took over when Rodgers left and was open minded about him taking over permanently as I did not see many alternatives. I didn’t agree with ‘how’ he was appointed at the Scottish Cup Final but backed his appointment and have backed him since. After the Cluj game he did a presser on the Friday and got absolutely slaughtered for it. Given Neils track record and service as a player, which you cannot do justice to, i was taken aback at the criticism he received. It seemed like folk were going out of their way to slaughter him. I think everyone now realises Cluj are a more than capable team. For Lenny to have come back from that in the manner he has tells you everything about him. One thing i will say is I am surprised at how calm he has been on the sidelines since he returned given how volatile he was at Hibs. And one final comment, the much maligned John Kennedy deserves credit too.

    Spot on

     

     

    Cheers for the reply … I was a bit worried when Neil took the job for one reason .. I didn’t want his legacy ruined (he is now enhancing it) … as for getting the job in the shower … I think Dermot & Peter had already told him … secure the league & cup and the job is yours … a few Celtic fans try and make a big deal about this … after a treble treble and losing a great manager (BR) in the February am not surprised the job was offered in the shower (is that even happened) like you.. am just happy Neil is in situ .. and as cool as a cucumber in front of the press … our media pander to the Huns and would love Neil to be the baddie

    I was watching a game today that had a minutes silence before the match – could have been Bundesliga/ La liga? Watched about 6 or 7 games already today. Anyhoo, as the ref blew the whistle to commence the silence, you could clearly hear a few dissenters. At that, the crowd just started a minutes applause to overcome the embarrassment.

     

    Seems too simple.

  18. Hunderbirds are Gone on

    Gerry,

     

    that round will have to be the eternal rubber tenner (more a 12er, or 15er these days). Back in the eighties i to meet up every few months with a good mate although we lived at opposite ends of the country. I would turn up at his unannounced, or he would turn up at mine unannounced. One or the other was usually skint (both spent way to much time in bars then 😜), is I’d “lend” him a tenner, he would “lend” me one. One night, well aboot four in the morning , after years of this he says to me, “who’s turn is it for the rubber tenner?”, well maybe it was the African Woodbines, but we laughed for hours. I still laugh thinking about it now.

     

    Think we’re in the same loop with that round… if I ever manage to another Hoot again.

     

    🍀⚽️

    TFC beaten in the MLS cup final by a team wearing Green…Oh well – at least the Browns won today.

     

    Made my selections for POTG earlier, Broonie – as always, Big Ajer and wee Jonny.

     

    Here we go 9 in a row.

    We unfortunately live in an age of ‘virtue signalling’.

     

    The overkill is there for all to see.

     

    From the tv presenters right down to the camp sales assistant in sainsbury’s this morning who would not speak to me when I asked him to sort out bullshit I was getting from the self service till.

     

    To be fair to the self service till mind it was at least trying to do it’s job at 11am unlike everybody else.!

    Hunderbirds 9.57pm

     

     

    It’s a date :-)

     

     

    Yourself and Philbhoy were a pleasure to spend a few hours with … I love CQN but can also be a wee bit “snobby” when it comes to reading posts … some don’t like Macjay because of his politics, after meeting Macjay, his daughter and his son who appeared late becaus he was enjoying the Glasgow night life… I feel like I know Macjay … Celtic is a broad church by all accounts open to all … of if wasn’t for CQN I probably would have never had a pint with Hot Smoked … the best line ever “excuse me if you are on CQN this will make sense, if not you will probably think I am mental” … Bon Accord … CQN day oot France v somebody else … on that day Delaney’s Dunky just kept shouting

     

     

    Viva la France …. CQN is very special

    We enter the international break, top of the league with just 3 survivors and a LMS break as well. No LMS fixtures next week so Round 11 will continue the week after.

    I worked for the best part of two decades in bath street & India Street and never drank in the Bon Accord.. I thought it was a wine shop (as my sisters drank in it) but Hot Smoked gave me an ale & whisky lesson … you can take the teacher out of the school but you’ll never take the teaching out of the teacher :-)

     

     

    Everyday a school day

  27. Hunderbirds are Gone on

    Me and my aforementioned mate used to go there every Sunday. Just two or three pints as a wind down from the weekend. Real Ale pubs were few and far between then. It was not our normal vibe type of place. We enjoyed watching the Real Ale types, who in those days, tended to all have beards, some smoked pipes and some wore Arran knit jumpers. Different now.

    By the way as others have said I have also enjoyed your weather reporting … sometimes reading the words paints a picture … keep at it 👍

  33. ‘GG on

    My father served in WWII, as did my grandfather in the first.

     

    My dad, despite being employed in the mines, a reserved occupation, volunteered and served in various theatres.

     

    Disrespecting a minute silence to remember them is a slight on their memory as far as I am concerned.

     

    As a wean I remember him observing the tribute when the ceremony used to be heard on the steam radio.

     

    I appreciate that the poppy symbol has been shanghaied by some factions to glorify war, but I don’t think we should necessarily walk away from remembering those who gave their lives in futile wars.

     

    I was proud that Celtic highlighted the sacrifices of Celtic men, and that the silence was I,peccably observed.

    GG 11.34pm

     

     

    Spot on … let people remember but also if some (6 counties) would prefer not too that should be the same … again my dad was “conscripted” in 1943 at the age of 18… can never remember him wearing a poppy …

     

     

    Let people remember but just now it feels like some rejoice and “celebrate” remembrance… ah well I suppose each to their own
