  1. starry plough forza oscar,

     

    Agreed. A box to Box midfielder if such a thing exists and two strikers are needed. The rest of the squad is fine but I fear the price being right on the spreadsheet. I would expect an offer for Izzy and or one of the other defenders this window.

     

    I often wonder what Kris Commons would be like with less bulk. Hold up play less effective but with a wee spark more of pace?

    Buon anno ! Auguri !

     

     

    Received a text from a PTFC pal.

     

     

    ” Your lot are tosh. “

    Another win today, extending our unbeaten run. Turgid game? Yes. Will the performances improve as the season progresses? Certainly.

     

     

    A speedy scan back of the blog reveals a number of negative comments by posters who’s monikers have only appeared in very recent times. Interesting.

     

     

    Away to Mass this afternoon and will certainly thank God I was born a Tim.

    Starry

     

     

    Forster will be gone this summer. Lenny more or less said so.

     

     

    Adam seems to have one eye on his welsh buddies fortunes. Clearly the plc will not improve deals for players who delivered. Therefore everyone knows what the ceiling is at Celtic

     

     

    Selling Hooper and Wanyama does not indicate to me that we will hang onto anyone. Peter Lawwell confirmed that selling players is now our clubs main objective.

     

     

    I would be anazed if that is not how we pitch any deal to any player.

     

     

    It is my belief that MON wanted out due to the slow lane. WGS got sick and tired of his sqaud being undermined by sales. In fact Sammi and Joe and WGS are of a similar mindset. They helped to deliver millions and improvements in the clubs fortune but get the rug pulled from under their feet continuously. That is what we are. Nothing will change.

     

     

    If Lenny conrinually accepts being undermined then I will be surprised.

     

     

    If this window is a flop. I expect him to resign in the summer.

  5. PFayr supports WeeOscar, I am certain how Neil Lennon has reported his thoughts. same goes for his manager at Lierse and Billy Stark. They could all be worng of course. they could also be correct. Either way i’d like to see him fulfill his potential.

     

    He could be a 20 goal a season lazy striker, a complete blow out, or an absolute top drawer player. Looks as though the experts know what they want.

  6. Bada

     

     

    In the interests of balance Neil has bought a cracking backline that deserves credit, a central midfielder who turned into a 13m player and a centre forward in Hooper. I think Biton will be superb but in kissing too many frogs our consistency middle to front has been a poor return for our money.

     

     

    So I guess I’d say yes I would but we just need to recognise more money for a centre forward with a less risky track record is now imperative. Worth their weight in gold…

  7. Colour Blind Bhoy on

    mullet and co and viewfaethewindae – thanks for your suggestions which have helped to raise the tension further here. Age and players seen is a huge factor; Jinky v Maestro for example, likewise Elliot v Sutton.

     

    So much for a peaceful New Years Day but great to see how many great players we have witnessed over the years.

     

    Hail Hail

  8. Gene's a Bhoy's name on

    A couple of weeks ago some on here and the media were waxing lyrical on DU style of play and free scoring forwards. Suddenly it has gone quiet, lost their last 3 games 4-0, 3-0 and 2-1. Amongst other things it shows how form can quickly change. Whilst we are not setting the world alight we are grinding out results -i would suggest that if the second team in the league were only 3 points adrift of us then results would be all that matters and posts on here would reflect that.

  9. 67Heaven ... I am Neil Lennon, supporting WEE OSCAR..!!.. Ibrox belongs to the creditors on

    Just back in from the game……glad we won but, oh dear, that was boring stuff….half the team trying, the other half going through the motions….from my own personal perspective, I’ll put it down to the weather and the time of the year…..met a few CQNers today……..had a good laugh with them………..off now, don’t want to read any of the usual negative shoite..hehe

    Was good to catch up … free bus .. a couple of beers .. a victory …

     

     

    All things considered a really good afternoon ;)

     

     

    Btw.. Sefton was closed … cheers no football… so a quick beer then popped into the Chinese as predicted …

    So if your a hun… I must be an orangeman .

  11. Awe_Naw_No_Annoni_Oan_Anaw_Noo,

     

     

    I think Lenny may go at the end of the season too. Gordon Strachan went due to the malaise factor. Might be in the interests of Celtic that a new doctor Who is at the helm come the summer. Mind you that happens and we face a big gamble with someone with no Champions League qualifying experience.

     

    Neil could earn triple his salary, put his feet up a lot more and buy some of the folk he can only dream about.

  12. Awe_Naw_No_Annoni_Oan_Anaw_Noo on

    Bada Bing

     

     

    Yes. Like WGS there has been mistakes but on the whole he has got them right.

     

     

    Wanyama

     

    Hooper

     

    Forster

     

    Lustig

     

    Van Dijk …although any comparison with Dolph is immature

    Mulgrew

     

     

    I don’t see the problem in giving him the money. I do have a problem with the suits being the only faction within Celtic not being targetted for reduced income from Celtic. That is where I would start. It’s time their objectives for the year was publically outlined and publically reviewed.

  13. prestonpans bhoys dam justice for the 5 on

    Take my hat off to the wee band of bhoys at the back of 110. Sang their hearts out for the full game. Would have joined them but would have looked like their da :-(

  14. Firstly Happy New Year to all. To the game, I thought Partick were one of the most entertaining teams to visit CP this season. They never gave up and could have had a few goals themsleves. Celtic were poor, not for the first time. Forrest does not seem capable of understanding his best position is OR, take players on at pace get by them and shoot or lay off a pass. For the rest, to often the pass is sideways or backwards. We need to move forward. A good midfielder, or two, is essential, with ability for spraying passes forward, as is a centre forward. This wee chap tried hard, was all over the place, but too often not in the penalty box.

     

     

    my thoufghts on the crowd/fans later.

    I think its inevitable unless Peter Lawwell moves on

  16. So, according to the BBC thingy, the attendance was over 52,000. In the opinion of those who were there, what was the attendance?

  17. Mullet and Co

     

     

    You would have to do a Steve Austin on Kris to make him fast!! I think his game is suffering at the moment as he is under pressure to deliver the goals, quite a few time recently he would have been better to pass than shoot..

     

     

    This window as always promises to be another lesson in CQN torture..

     

     

    Widnae miss it!!

    Don’t you dare flounce off, just when the chooks are coming back on to the lay. Just think what Minx would think of you giving her supermaket eggs for her breakfast instead of weefras superdooper proper free range fare. How ye doin’ kiddo? You too TBJ Happy New Year to you all. :))

    I don’t think NFL had a say in buying those players…..he gets what is on the menu and it’s fixed.

  21. Confession time – reasons I don’t go to Celtic Park as often as I should –

     

    Cost

     

    Travel time

     

    Family commitments

     

    Lack of entertainment (although I would happily watch a crisp poke at Celtic park at times)

     

    Catering

     

    Lack of atmosphere

     

    Moaners in the crowd.

     

    Early leavers

     

     

    Note nothing to do with opposition.

  22. Goldstar 17.42.

     

     

    I only listened to game via Celtic TV ( a more peaceful way to keep in touch than either Clyde or BBC btw) and did not hear Delahunt’s comment but if a caller had said what you quote then the panel would have been quick to say it was extreme or out of order.

     

     

    The next couple days should be interesting for Jim if he is hosting the show.

     

     

    The msm’s self interest in a Ranger’s recovery is more obvious than ever, they are used to the wineing and dineing that tax payers unwittingly paid for.

     

     

    Unlike those salad days of SDM succulency they face stiff competition from the social media and the truth will prevail.

  23. MULLET AND CO

     

     

    I believe you are looking for a reason/excuse to stop going.

     

     

    JJ

  24. Can I have a raspberry

     

     

    I don’t buy that. I get the issue of our talent strategy (young, sell on value, etc) but Neil is part of that decision process. He ain’t that big a stooge.

  25. Cracking ‘live’ Waterboys set currently on Radio Scotland. (I knew teh internet would be worthwhile on day.)

  26. Awe_Naw_No_Annoni_Oan_Anaw_Noo

     

     

    You think a different CEO would help us to attract and keep players?

     

     

    If Lenny goes in the summer then we’re bak to square one, new man, new players, new style all in time for the CL qualifiers.

     

     

    It makes no sense not to back the manager in this window if it pushes him out the door and we have to start all over.

     

     

    Either we are all aiming for the same goal or we are not and that’s the question, I can pout up with days like today but to see the team sold off every season would require us to have a fully functioning academy of players who make the first team, like Basel, their stats work out about three players season from their youth set up into the first team and beyond..

  27. Auldheid, The prevailing wind seems to be for another push for Sevco into the top league. Why now?

  28. Not much point signing another striker until we find a midfielder willing to take some responsibility who will look forward at every opportunity and save our front men from dropping way back to be involved……….

     

     

    A total lack of entertainment over the last few weeks. No inspiration or responsibility from our “senior” players.

     

    Captain Marvel picks up yet another neds booking to add to his Champions League lay off. One man up front at home against Partick Thistle.

     

    Another defensive midfield man brought on to replace our one and only creative midfielder with 5 or 6 minutes to go just to make sure we get over the line! FFS

     

    But hey 19 games unbeaten or whatever it is!

     

    And aye I wiz there throughout the 90’s. We were weak then with nothing to offer.

     

    We are in our strongest position for years currently. Not going to make any drastic statements but we should be getting better fayre.
