  3. Just because Mark Hateley says a title is tainted doesn’t mean it is or isn’t. When Celtic won the league in 1988, it wasn’t a tainted title, it was also significant given it was the centenary season, but it didn’t hold back the tide.

     

     

    This title we win this season, lets face it, is not the big story, the big story is Rangers either facing decades of financial pain, or they trade that in for their trophies, their history and their self respect. That doesn’t make this seasons title tainted or not tainted it is just in the bigger scheme of things it is not the big scottish football news story.

  4. Hail hail

    In the Second Half.. when Lenny, pit Sammi, once again. in Sammi’e

     

     

    ONE AND ONLY POSITION.. which is

  8. Great Result today – could be a vital 3 points… Now ICT to do us a turn.

     

     

    We’ve raised £290 for the Vanessa appeal today alone. Let’s try and build it up tonight. So anyone that has had any coupons up, of which i am sure there must be many – probably – how about a £10 donation to a worthy cause and continue the great Celtic tradition.

    Thought we were poor today but we won,big Rogne MOM for me,only 21 and looking like a real top defender!!!

     

     

    Hail hail

  10. Joe Filippis Haircut on

    Come on Bhoys this is getting boreing win after win no challenge the meeja are right we need the orcs and if there not about folk wont turn up at games just to see us win everyone of them.So come on get over to the save the big hoose site and get your monetry pledges in if we all do that we can clear the debt by Monday and get back to the real exciting stuff then the orcs will be there to make the league exciting you know it makes sense.H.H. ;- )

  11. In February Celtic have played 6 games in just 21 days, winning all of them, scoring 15 goals and conceding none…

     

     

    Championship winning form…

     

     

    We don’t need yer stinkin’ ten points…

  12. Champions display again today. 23 points clear. 17 consective wins. 590 minutes without conceding a goal.

     

     

     

    player ratings

     

     

     

     

    Fraser Foster 7 – Spectator. Could have took a seat in the stands, hardest thing he had to do all day was avoiding all the balloons on the park and I dont mean of the motherwell player variety.

     

     

     

    Adam Matthews 7 – Cool. This lad could don a Fonzi jacket while playing he makes it look so easy.

     

     

     

    Kelvin Wilson 7 – Outstanding. Finally showing us all why Lenny rates him so highly. Cut off every motherwell attack that came his way.

     

     

     

    Thomas Rogne 8 – Collossus(motm). Going from strength to strength. Won everything in the air, composed on the deck, distrubtion excellent, thoroughly deserved motm.

     

     

     

    Charlie Mulgrew 7 – Messiesque. If Messi was a defender, his name would be Charlie Mulgrew!

     

     

     

    James Forrest 5 – Quiet. Drifted in and out of the game, needs to be careful to hold onto his starting position as others wait for the chance to impress.

     

     

     

    Ki Sung Yueng 6 – Schizophrenic. When he is in the mood, he is excellent, when he loses concentration he isnt. Had one of those games today.

     

     

     

    Joe Ledley 7 – Faultless. Superjoe does his job, he does it well. Every football team should have a Joe Ledley, but they don’t, we do, so giruy!

     

     

     

    Victor Wanyama 6 – Solid. Not his best game, not his worst either. Sacrificed in a tactical change that immediatley proved decisive. Took one for the team.

     

     

     

    Gary Hooper 6 – Clinical. Was having a mare up until his symbiotic half twin Stokes game on, within 30 seconds, BANG! he wins the game.

     

     

     

    Georgious Samaras 7 – Enigmatic. Just when you wanted him subbed, he goes and does that thing and shows us all we know nothing.

     

     

     

    subs

     

     

     

    Anthony Stokes 5 – Busy. Came on and immediately had an effect by waking up his symbiotic half twin Hooper.

     

     

    Cha Du-Ri 5 – Energetic. Took over the right back slot and immediately pressed Motherwell back and proved he has been working on his crossing during this weeks training.

     

     

    Kris Commons 2 – Tactical Timewaster. Brought on with barely any time to do anything except waste a couple of passes.

  13. Henry Potter of Bedford Falls knows a good investment when he sees one, he just donated £5000 to save his beloved Rangers.

  14. Hoop hoop Hooray on

    Here’s another riddle

     

     

    When’s a sieve not a sieve?

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

    2 league goals in 14 games…..and counting

  15. OHHH and I hope GM sucks @saverankers is looking after our money and there is no skullduggery :))))))).

     

    HAIL HAIL.

  16. Just back from fear ole Paradise so haven’t read back yet.

     

     

    Did anyone see macall assault the 4th official.

     

     

    The ref wi the surname for a first name is obviously hurting. Disgraceful performance.

     

     

    Well done Celtic

     

     

    Well done Chico

     

     

    Well done Gary

     

     

    Well done Neil

     

     

    Onwards…

  17. winning is all that matters right now and when we win the league its on merit, no excuses please.

     

     

    If we can keep our young players together for the next 2/3/4 years, we’ll have one hell of a team.

     

     

    i do fear we will lose them all at some point but not before they give us some very happy times and leave us with the transfer money to replace them with the next generation of youngester.

     

     

    think we’ll need to use any money saved on wages this summer i.e. loovens, o’dea, thompson, dan, wilson, cha any any possible sale of mcginn, mccourt, jaurez, murphy, radmussion etc… to tie them into longer/ better contracts.

  18. After Celtic’s 1-0 victory at home to Motherwell, their full domestic record since NL took charge now reads:

     

     

    Played 91

     

    Won 74

     

    Drawn 8

     

    Lost 9

     

    Scored 207

     

    Conceded 56

     

    Clean sheets 53

     

    Failed to score 7

     

     

    NL’s team has won 81.3% of it’s games and lost just 1 in every 10.1.

     

     

    It has kept a clean sheet in 58.2% of it’s games whilst scoring in 92.3% of them, averaging 2.27 goals scored and 0.62 conceded per game.

     

     

    Today’s was Celtic’s 20th consecutive victory in domestic competitions and their 6th consecutive clean sheet. The only SPL teams to have scored home or away against Celtic since the 23rd November are Dundee United (14th January) and Kilmarnock (24th December) with one goal apiece.

     

     

    Incidentally, Celtic face both these sides in the next few weeks in each of the cup competitions, as they strive for an historic treble.

     

     

    Celtic now lead the SPL by a record margin of 23 points over crisis club Rangers… an astonishing 38 point swing since the 5th November. Even without the 10 point penalty Rangers would still trail Celtic by some 13 points.

     

     

    Celtic’s next match isagainst Aberdeen at Pittodrie next weekend, and if Aberdeen fail to score in the first 75 minutes of the game it will be 1,000 minutes of game time since any Scottish team scored on their own pitch against Celtic.

     

     

    Keep on keeping on!

    Should that not be the Bailey family?

     

     

    Surely even some of their dim fans have seen It’s a wonderful life?

     

     

    Then again…….

  21. Hi guys….

     

    Another 3 points from what, for me was always going to be a difficult game- we can’t win 4 or 5 – 0 every game, as much as I’d like it…..

     

     

    Anyway can you guys help out?

     

     

    A while ago – before digital T.V. ITV used to have texts for football in their “oracle” teletext. I used to look at them but never contributed (for a reason which would take too long to explain). All football supporters texted in, but there was one texter I remember called FRANIE FROM BLANTYRE. Is he still around – in these sites?
