    The bould bhoys

     

     

    Meted out, yes, but why to Sevco, a completely new entity?

     

     

    We are in uncharted waters because the SFA and the SPL have just been making the whole charade up as they go along. It has taken the entire pre-season and they still don’t seem to know what to do.

     

     

    It’s interesting though because sooner or later someone at Hampden is going to have a Eureka moment and realise that if it’s unfair to impose Rangers’ merited sanctions on Sevco because it’s a different entity, then Sevco have to begin at the beginning and play wherever teams with no licence and no bank account play, which is a long way below SFL Division 3.

    Ah right got you now, sorry I was a bit slow on the uptake there. I’ve just been looking back at my post wondering how you got anything to do with bakers in it and thought it was because I said put him in the shop window lol.

     

     

     

    glad you have caught up….and the hun reference was a traditional welcome

    Why are they even discussing punishments. Newco should not be allowed into any Scottish league without 3 years accounts. Oldco should be punished retrospectively if found guilty. If Newco are the continuation of Oldco they should be punished if Oldco are found guilty and they should also be responsible for Oldco’s debts, so step forward Hector!

    Agree with that, yet we have the odd footballer interviewed recently saying that the days of turning up for pre-season overweight are gone, they have diets to follow and exercise programmes. This ‘all about the fitness at this stage’ rips ma knittin.

  8. kikinthenakas on

    Back from the game, thought Paddy, Sami, Twardzik and Lustig did well, thought Vic lost the ball in the mid for their goal which looked offside to me, fitness looks better, but we are a long way from being ready for next week. As for Bngura my bhoy 13, said he looks fit and slow at the same time, knew what he meant.

     

    Green Brigade mom and a standout again.

  9. pggtips2 on

    It’s amazing how Celtic players can play one game and improve their fitness, what flipping state are they in to improve their fitness in 90 minutes.

     

     

    Stuff any of these health manuals, just play one game at walking pace for Celtic and suddenly you’re aping-Arnie.

    Pleased they arrived safely. Mrs Nat Know will be delighted with her gift :-)

     

    Thanks again mate. You know why! Hope to meet up soon for a beer

    Young F. Twardzik is going to be a terrific player.

     

     

    Really delighted with his performance tonight. Good touch, makes the space, sees the pass, makes the pass, confident, loads of energy, he was up, down across the pitch, great to see.

     

     

    If you get mixed up between him and his twin brother, he’s the identical one.

  12. tommytwiststommyturns on

    Inter will be behind us in their match fitness, so if we beat them then that will be the main reason.

     

    On the other hand, if they beat us at home then surely the cracked club crests will be in the finest of Scottish newspapers….!

    Europe – how low must expectation get?? ‘Cause we have no chanceof beating Helsinki, no chance.

     

     

    These ‘wee’ teams must pitch up at Celtic Park and leave, thinking, ‘how the @@@@ did we get a result here’

     

     

    Everybody still happy concentrating on you know who??

     

     

    Naw, didnae fkn think so.

    Patrick 27:

     

    Think the team to face Helsinki will play against Inter on Saturday, so Lenny can see them in person against quality opposition (he was away scouting Helskinki in their second leg)

     

     

    HH!

     

     

    P27

     

     

    Thanks for the info.

     

     

    But that’s a worry for me as Inter will be a class up from Norwich. Wish we’d played our best 11 tonight to try and ensure a win and bolster confidence.

     

     

    Forster,

     

    Lustig, Izaguirre, Mulgrew Wanyama.

     

    Forrest, Brown, Kayal, Commons, Ledley.

     

    Samaras.

     

     

    Problem with our best 11 is it leaves us woefully short up front.

    wilson,

     

    go on baffle me with your knowledge on Helsinki,

     

    what odds do you want to give me that Celtic progress

    Was on here for the first time a couple of weeks ago and have to admit to being a little dissapointed that no one asked me the question. I feel a whole lot better now so thank you for the traditional welcome.

  29. itsabouttim on

    Just in from the game and haven’t read back yet so apologies if this has already been covered. I saw enough tonight to convince me that Wilson, Murphy and Bangura should all go – even if they are not replaced. It would at least free up some salary. Both Victor and Lustiq were much more effective than Wilson in the centre of defense and why Murphy and Bangura get anywhere near the pitch is a complete mystery to me.

    Please. i will ask politely, just once.

    Celtic First

     

     

    Agree. Sevco shouldn’t be punished. But Rangers fc, if in name only, should be. For it to be used as a means to barter with takes the ridiculously blatant gerrymandering to another level.

     

     

    Can’t believe much hasn’t been said about this. I suppose we’ll have to wait and see…but I’d rather the fans– who stood up when it came to the vote [which shouldn’t have even been entertained] — would have been more proactive about this.

     

     

    Thanks for the reply.

     

     

    hail hail

    Celtic_First, Philbhoy and Steinruledsupreme,

     

    Back to earlier thread (had to sign off). I lived in the Parade then moved round the corner to the posh hooses in Sannox Gardens opposite the park. That was where Philip and Gerry lived. My parents were very active in Our Lady of Good Counsel, mainly in the choir. Been a while since I was back there. Was too young to frequent the Lea Rig but remember it well. I used to walk up to Riddrie to school every day at St Thomas’s. Occassionally would get a free ride on the back of the bus until the conductor threw me off.

     

    Phil – does your second name start McC ?

    ‘baffle me’……surely you cant be baffled? Did i offer odds? Are you thick?

     

     

    Have you mis-read the post? Are you ‘baffled’ by it? Are you smart?

    Eyes- (that’s if people are lucky to have them) What else would you need? Your tactical knowledge perhaps??

  40. IniquitousIV on

    Just in from the pub. Have not read previous posts. Watched that travesty stupefied by ennui. As a Celtic fan for over 50 years, it is difficult for me to believe the depths to which we have sunk. No goals in 4 games – no goals in 6 hours, 2 goals in 450 minutes. This is supposed to be entertainment?

     

    But it is a pre-season game you say. Excuse me, but it was a pre-season game for Norwich as well. Their season starts off 2 weeks after ours, and they don’t have a Champions League game in a weeks time. So why are we not winning these games instead of the opposition?

     

    Let’s look at our performance – no pace, no drive, no penetration, no imagination, no goal threat, no movement, no width. Did anyone see one single piece of skill in the entire 90 minutes? Murphy – taxi. Wilson – taxi. Twardzik? I’ve seen a wider five pound note. Too easily pushed off the ball. Why on earth is he not in the weight room?

     

    Watched Chelsea play PSG in New York. Pre- season friendly. Both teams RAN at each other the whole game. Any player who received a pass was already moving. Contrast that with our plodders. Everybody static, no one offering an option. Does anyone else notice something that has driven me nuts about Celtic for years? Just watch Celtic players play a square ball. Does the ball go ahead of the receiving player to encourage him to move? Almost never. Most of the time it is delivered behind, absolutely killing any momentum.

     

    Our corners are completely crap. How many of Commons’ corners went beyond the last man? Answer? Almost all of them.

     

    Don’t get me wrong. I never miss one single game. Never. But Celtic must be the most frustrating team on earth.

     

    One last piece of advice for Celtic, and I reall hope someone at the Club glances at these blogs. The temperature in Philly for the Madrid game is likely to be 40C or 100F and exceptionally humid. If we play in an all black strip, the players will feel like death from the first minute. A few years ago, we were utterly humiliated 4-0 by DC United’s second team. The Celtic players complained that is was 85F and humid. What they didn’t realize was that there had been a violent thunderstorm before kick-off that had reduced the temperature by 15 degrees.

     

    From what I have seen so far this season, I think we will be totally embarrassed and utterly humiliated by Real Madrid in front of a world wide audience, and in front of a US audience that is already convince we are pash.

     

    I’ll be glad to be proved wrong.

    I’m normally a bit of a happy clapper but I found a lot of that hard to watch tonight.

     

     

    We looked like a counter defending team for spells. We can turn attack into defence in the blink of an eye.

     

     

    Young Twadzik was impressive in the middle of the park and Rogne looked solid at the back.

     

     

    Murphy, Wilson and Bangura should be off loaded as quickly as possible.

     

     

    Bring on the Inter……

  42. gordybhoy64 on

    wilson,

     

    seemed a fair request,

     

    for someone convinced we have no chance of beating Helsinki i assumed you knew a bit about them,

     

    had you offered me odds then i would’nt have asked you to offer me some,

     

    but being a betting man i thought you may have been interested

     

    in offering odds on something that you think has no chance of happening

     

    no seeing any criticism in either of my posts
