    That thing at Gartnavel – not as bad as you think buddy!

     

     

    Just watch he doesn’t have both hands on your shoulders … ;-)

     

     

    Seriously, you will be ok

     

     

    Look forward to the gemme it will all be worth it

  2. Great result today after 2 weeks off!

     

     

    Dembele looks 10 years older than he is as does young KT.

     

     

    Hendo looked good despite the kicking he took.

     

     

    Very pleased

    Thanks for kind words. I am just a big fearty though. But I never looked forward to the City game either and that did not turn out too badly

  4. happy with that

     

    Except for Beaton & Lasley

     

    One of our players are going to get badly injured .

     

    I watched Broony today never stopped talking and instructing all around him, though I thought Beaton was going to send him of for stoating the mwell player with the ball.

     

    good to see a few at CQN corner too

  5. Did anybody notice Griff storming down the tunnel in a fit of pique at the final whistle? Me and the Bhoy were in the South stand and both saw it. He shook Mark McGhee’s hand and then ripped off his wristbands before shooting down the tunnel whilst the rest of the team stayed on the pitch with BR to salute the fans. Hopefully he was just desperate for a Grey Friar’s

  6. Open Meeting to discuss away ticket scheme

     

    Published on Saturday 15th October, 2016 by Celtic Trust

     

     

    Open Meeting set for Monday 24th October

     

     

    Following extensive online discussion and reported meetings between Celtic and some supporters’ groups, there is considerable disquiet among the regular away support and other supporters about alleged proposals to ‘cancel’ away histories and introduce a new scheme for allocating away tickets.

     

     

    The Celtic Trust have convened a number of Open Meetings in the past which have brought a large section of the fan base together to deal with a particular issue. We have been asked by our comrades in another organisation to convene an Open Meeting to discuss this current issue and we are happy to do that. It is our view that online discussion is great but to resolve issues it is important to come to meetings and have an open debate.

     

     

    A date and time have been fixed – Monday 24th October at 7pm – and a venue is currently being organised and will be confirmed soon.

     

     

    Everyone is welcome to the meeting which will be chaired by a Trust representative. Any actions arising from the meeting will be taken forward by the Trust as has been the practice in the past.

     

     

    We look forward to seeing you all there. Hail Hail

    Good win against 12 men today.

     

     

    11 of them were behind the ball most of the game and the 12th – well, it’s Scotland, innit. A disgrace.

     

     

    I can’t get my head around the player that is James Forrest these days. I thought he was magnificent today.

     

     

    JF always had it in him to be a great IMO, but he was too patchy, too in and out and too much sitting on the turf with his arms aloft when things didn’t work, in recent seasons.

     

     

    This term – what a difference. He has become the complete player – a terror to defenders, seeing the pass, taking a shot, dragging defenders away to allow others in, and tracking back, working his baws off to help in defence.

     

     

    It’s wonderful to see a player with so much potential starting to fulfil it. JF used to have one good game and 4 or 5, or 6 or 7, indifferent ones. He has become consistent and it is a joy to see.

     

     

    Simunovic – I don’t think I have ever been happier that a transfer fell through. I think he’s absolute quality. Love Sviatchenko as well, but Jozo is pure class.

     

     

    Tierney – the movement, the footwork, the poise when he rattled the ball off the crossbar. I know it was against Motherwell, not Spain, but my God, this is a 19-year-old playing like Maradona. And he’s a left back!

     

     

    I think, with Brendan, we could really be going places.

     

     

    Happy in Oslo. Very, very happy in Oslo.

  8. Dallas Dallas where the heck is Dallas on

    Pleased with our result and a clean sheet also.

     

     

    First time I remember one of our players getting a standing ovation for not scoring but so well deserved for our Kieran. Kieran is our future and I hope he’s an inpiration to other young players we have.

     

     

    Its time someone took that wee runt Lasley out. As previous posters have pointed out no wonder our game is a mess when ‘good honest pros ‘ like him play.

     

     

    A few years ago Stokesy went through him and Lasley collapsed in a heep. Stokesy got a red and the runt Lasley bounced up as soon as the card was produced.

     

     

    Moult should have walked as he booted the ball away about five minutes before he clattered Liam.

     

     

    Liam played well today and I was delighted he got a start.

     

     

    Onwards to Wednesday.

  9. HT…dealing with similar ‘out of body’ experience as you did in the corporate seats.

     

     

    I’m in Bar 67 and booze and music great…but a lassie/woman wae a peaked Celtic hat on is conversing with the guy next to me in a voice that mimics a mermaid being giving two legs in an anaesthetic free operation….

     

     

    Or she could be a four minute nuclear warning siren

     

     

    definitely not for me every week. :)

     

     

    Hail hail

    HT 7.15

     

     

    Don’t come on here with your meetings after hob knobbing with the great and good, your socialist principles are gone…..hope you enjoyed your “free” programme…….. (&’pie)

    Dallas 7.17pm

     

     

    Did you get next to your dad ?

     

     

    By the way it’s the “interval” in the Horrid Henry movie

  13. Matt

     

     

    The two you’re referring to will be wee Mick (Caltontongues) and Ziggy fae Barrowfield.

     

     

    I reckon there’s 8 teeth and 16 brain cells combined.

     

     

    Good luck son.

  14. Hamiltontim on 15th October 2016 6:58 pm

     

     

    I was in a corporate box for the first time ever today. Free booze and food and a padded seat thrown in.

     

     

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

     

     

    HT, how long did you last before they sussed ye?

     

     

    ;))

     

     

     

     

     

    What a player we’ve got in KT. He’s a marauder.

     

     

    Lasley’s made a career of kicking Tims. Remember him attacking Nakamura at every opportuinity until he’d booted him out the game.

     

     

    Only in Scotland and only against us is that sort of brutish shite tolerated. Half the midfielders in this country are a throwback to the 80s model of a footballer as defined by Terry Hurlock.

     

     

    Celtic’s pace and skill will overcome. 6 in a row.

     

     

    And West ham have just beaten Crystal Palace as I write. Bilic v Pardew; Good Guy beats Wank.

    Really, really enjoyed it Gerry but by God it was stark in comparison to so much else at Parkhead today.

  16. Almere, Adblock Plus for iPad.

     

     

    Anyway, it was an adequate performance. 3 points, a clean sheet and nae injuries.

     

     

    I’ve been very critical of Craig Gordon but his distribution was excellent today.

     

     

    Eyes on the prize for Wednesday though.

  17. Whats this I’m hearing bout HT selling out for a free pie and a padded cushion? :-)

     

     

    Jim P- i think most were concerned going into Citeh game but players and management showed we can step-up and gave the fans a bit of pride back.

     

     

    Wiz magic!

  18. 50 shades of green on

    Think we are getting spoiled.

     

     

    One or 2 on the bus going home not happy about todays performance????????.

     

     

    Moussa was quiet today said one, Aye apart from his dummy (lol) , chasing down Broonies miss hit pass and winning the penalty then converting said penalty I agree done nuffin.

     

     

     

    Anyway what about young KT, accomplished or what? I see one or 2 have wee Jaimsey as mom, fair enough but for me it was our left back by a country mile.

     

     

    Thats the Guinness arrived so am off.

    Madness & The Specials for this stapress bhoy….

     

     

    My aim is to get to 10pm and go to ma kip in a good Cqn way

  20. Right folks if you haven’t yet completed the online survey to repeal the OBaF Act now is the time. Please, please don’t underestimate the importance of making the time to complete the survey. Time is now short so if you don’t have the time then follow these guidelines.

     

     

     

    If long forms daunt you, just give your contact details and then complete the 5 questions on Sections 1-5 showing you are in favour of repeal- that is just 5 ticks- then just scroll through to the end and press SUBMIT. It can be done in less than a minute.

  21. I’m pretty confident that I have NEVER seen such a standing ovation for a NON goal as I saw and participated in today when Kieran Tierney bewildered the Motherwell defence and smack a shot of the ball.

     

     

    And well deserved it was too.

     

     

    What a player. What a fantastic footballer.

     

     

    Defensively he is marvellous and attacking he is even better.

     

     

    Danny McGrain is etched in my mind as the best ever fullback in the world. But Kieran Tierney is causing me to have doubts. Please can we keep him. Forever.

  22. Does anyone else see a resemblance between the way Gamboa runs and how the great Tosh McInlay used to run. A sort of hunched forward running style.

     

     

    BTW thought he had a reasonable game, but wee Jamsie is playing so well in that right wing position that he doesn’t get the chance to bomb forward so much.

    One of my pals done the corporate thing for his dad’s 70th, he said it was the best money he has ever spent, his Da felt like he owned Celtic Park……… It’s a hallowed ground as ma Da used to say

  24. Lasley

     

    Hateful Wee bollix. Cannot remember him being an “honest pro” against The Deady Bears or the new team.

     

    To my mind he ended Adam Matthews Celtic career. He needs sorted. Wonder if Wee Bertie would lace the boots up again.

     

    HH

  25. Great to see Hendo get a full game today. He did well without being the star of the show. Need more first team games to get a full appreciation of what he is capable of for us. Certainly a better option than Stuart Armstrong as far as I’m concerned.

  26. Prestonpans

     

     

    Rumour is that secret meetings have taken place and that changes will be made to the current method of distributing tickets for away games.

     

     

    Currently, the more away games you’ve been to the better chance you have of being allocated a ticket for future away games. There is talk that this will change and that, possibly, every away game will be an open ballot.

     

     

    I’ve given Celtic my views. If it happens, I’ll never be back.

    Quick Question before I attack the Guinness.

     

     

    I remember at the very least 12 years ago that the murderwell hatchet man lasley was known as the ” housewives choice ” , so my question is 2 part.

     

     

    Part 1 who is older Clint ( over the) Hill , or Keff Lasley.

     

     

    And part 2 . What the f do these housewives look like now.

  28. My friends in Celtic,

     

     

    I see the new traffic management system at Parkhead has met with favourable reports .

     

     

    Personally I look forward to the transporter system prototyped by Startrek. Beer Gardens will make excellent docking stations.

     

     

    Competent performance, favourable result and roll on Wednesday.

     

     

    To the future and hail hail.

  29. So I’ve praised Tierney and Forrest so far.

     

     

    Now for more praise.

     

     

    Scott Sinclair. His understanding with Kieran, his awareness and appreciation of the importance of movement off the ball is a cut above the rest of the players. He creates space even against a packed defence.

     

     

    And the there is Dembele. Keeping Griff out of the starting lineup requires extraordinary talent. And he has it. Plus he puts in the effort for the team. Today is the first time I’ve realised how much pace he has. Woof. Unlucky to hit the upright but won the penalty and had the fortitude to put it to the other side than normal.

     

     

    Griff, no doubt your time will come round again. For the moment, just be ready.

  30. At an incredibly young age KT is the best left back I’ve ever seen playing for Celtic. His vision, ability, passion, energy, desire to win his individual battle and accuracy when picking out a fellow player with cutbacks is just fantastic.
