    That’s the beauty of it.

     

    Most of us think we are100% right with our assertions.

     

    I keep getting into trouble off my wife because of it. She informs me that it’s a dangerous mind set to think you are 100% correct.

     

    Hail Hail.

     

    TBM.

     

    Just noticed your reply.

     

    We will catch up one day. Hopefully in happy circumstances, although it is more probable to be at a funeral

     

    Hail Hail and thanks for being one of lives good ghuys.

  2. wow, page 24 already.

     

     

    I see the knives are out for WGS. The same WGS who has championed our cause Time after time since he left us.

     

     

    Of course the same man was never really accepted by some of us. Wasn’t really Celtic minded, was he.?

     

     

    Guys get a grip. We had a bad day, Madhun was normal, but the chassssssm is still ginormous.

     

    We listen, we analyse then we move on.

     

     

    I am so glad we maintained our unbeaten run, I might have had to read back about 60 pages otherwise.

     

     

    Hail, Hail. COYBIG.

     

     

    PS : Sooooo glad CG wanted to remain at Paradise.

    Just in from the office … what have I missed?

     

     

    Great banner!!!!!

     

     

    The treble and an undefeated season is still on. But we will need to improve if we want that to continue.

     

     

    Millers attempted tackle was shocking!!

     

     

    i really hope the story about bankier is not accurate, but I wouldn’t be surprised if it is. He seems more fond of them than he is of our fans.

    And yet once again THEY fail in their quest to defeat us. We are in a commanding position in the league, holders of the league cup and still in with a shout for the Scottish cup. Others are jealous of us, today was a blip,they know the score,they rode their luck. Today at Celtic Park we did not lose, and they, my friends, did not win.

  8. Six big decisions in two, consecutive games all in favour of the Huns. As Connaire and Corkcelt say, let Celtic know how you feel about our Club`s inaction on this bias. There might be a good reason why celtic say nothing but unless we ask, we won`t know. Contact Celtic via JPT:

  9. Not read back yet, but here we fecking go…

     

     

    Impressions:

     

     

    Mix of frustration and bemusement.

     

     

    Celtic – pish, basically; the worst combined inept forward performance of the season saved for a game they knew would need attention. Not one of our star-studded attacking lumiaries turned up – NO touch present from Sincy, Moussa, Jamesy, or even the Griff or Paddy when called upon.

     

     

    Defence and midfield did a sterling job -Armstrong MOTM – why subbed??? – even young McGregor, not my favourite, put in an admirable shift when he appeared.

     

     

    But our dynamic department was posted missing and thus there goes the victory.

     

     

    But…

     

     

    The Huns played out their skins to scrape their draw. Almost beyond their limited capabilities.

     

     

    But…

     

     

    Bobby f#cking Madden – you pathetic Hun excuse for an official.

     

    Generations come and go in this blighted, tragic wee country, handicapped by its ‘Kulchur’ and inbred deference to a mythical protestant supremacy, yet still football suffers from idiots like him, born and bred a bigot, stupefyingly biased in his decision-making.

     

     

    1) Miller, in the first ten minutes launched a reckless assault with two feet well off the ground. Missed his target. If he got a hit? – career-ending impact. Booking? not even a word. Unreal. F#cking RED anywhere else on the planet.

     

     

    2) Holt/Some other Orc scythes Paddy Roberts outsiode our box, wins the ball and crosses to almost set up a goal for them. Another 2-footed scissor assault a couple of feet off the deck, knee-wrecking, career-threatening – staight f#cking RED anywhere else on planet football. Madden? Books Lustig for complaining! F#ck me.

     

     

    3) Griff smashed right through by Hill in the LAST MINUTE, six yards out, about to crack it in. NO PENALTY. ‘He got the ball,’ mouths Madden, the tragic jerk. Got the ball, vaguely – AFTER ramming through the man. STONEWALL pen anywhere else on the planet. And a RED card.

     

     

    Just learn to PLAY BY THE RULES, you tragic Huns. Award the justified penaly. If we miss it or it’s saved, fair enough. But just PLAY BY THE F#CKING RULES for once!

     

     

    Madden – every respect for your human struggles – but f#ck you for your weak mind and pathetic forelock-tugging deference; you do Scottish football a total injustice by perpetrating decades’ worth of masonic conspiracy, blatantly demonstrating the cultural failings of our game by your compulsive cheating.

     

     

    Roll on 23rd April; I hope the Hoops get the finger out and thrash a lesson into those Orange Bastards once and for all. Let’s shut the book on their shenanigans with a deserved blitzing.

     

     

    Today felt like the 90s.

  10. The result of today’s game will have minimum bearing on our season, the result of the semi will.

     

     

    What happened today will have no direct bearing on the semi. when we made Group Stages Champions League no one was too bothered by the Red Imps, similarly if we win the semi no one will be too bothered by today. Everything is up for grabs, we have the better players, we can hardly play as badly as we did today, there is nothing guaranteed but we should win it.

     

    So as Gerry Adams is fond of saying “Stay calm”, everything will be fine.

     

    With that I bid ye all Good Night & God Bless.

  11. glendalystonsils on

    I guess the video refereeing they’re talking about introducing south of the border won’t be coming here any time soon.

     

    The SFA wouldn’t want any impartial, objective , non bigoted technology undermining the efforts of their officials. Might lead to all sorts of nasty allegations.

  12. mike in toronto on

    Connaire

     

     

    At the start of the season, I decided to stop putting money into the club for that very reason. But I wanted to let the club know, so I wrote to JPT. He did reply, but it was a nonresponse response, so I cancelled CelticTV. I hope you have more success than I did.

  13. I sent an email to Celtic before our first home game against this new club, asking for a justification on that club getting just under 8000 tickets for a first visit to our ground, I pointed out no one else we play get tickets generally allocated to Celtic fans, including European teams

     

    I am still awaiting a response

  14. The Comfortable Collective on

    Celtic shouldn’t put in an official complaint. Even if they can. How about a statement something like below.

     

     

    “Celtic FC are disappointed with the performance of today’s officials. As well as the potentially result changing decision not to award a last minute penalty there was more than one dangerous tackle on Celtic players which were not dealt with appropriately.

     

     

    However. Celtic FC would like to publicly reject the suggestion they have received from a number of Celtic supporters that today’s referee was biased due to his support for the clubs who play at Ibrox.

     

     

    Celtic FC do not believe suggestions that today’s referee was previously a season ticket holder at Ibrox and frequently travelled to Rangers games in a supporters bus from East Kilbride.

     

     

    Celtic do not believe the SFA would place such a conflicted person in charge of a Glasgow derby match such as today’s.

     

     

    We have asked the SFA to publicly confirm that the rumours surrounding today’s referee are without foundation. And expect them to do so without delay”.

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

     

     

    Yes . Agreed.

     

    Video refereeing is precisely what the Celtic Board should be focusing on achieving.

     

    Not some futile complaint to an anti-Celtic organisation.

    Hot smoked

     

     

    Don’t know how to link it, but see st. stirs post at 7:31. I haven’t read back but I’m assuming it was the GB that did it. Loved it!

  18. My email to JPT…..

     

     

    Disappointing today, goes without saying. No doubt we underperformed but I have to say Bobby Madden was an absolute disgrace. Refereeing decisions sometimes go in favour and sometimes against but my concern in particular is that Bobby Madden is a known Rangers supporter and former season ticket holder at Ibrox. I believe he previously travelled to matches up until 2010, on a supporters bus from East Kilbride. In England referees are required to declare what team they support. Referees don’t get to referee matches involving their preferred team. That is common knowledge.

     

     

    Obviously in Scotland that doesn’t happen. Naturally this would be a problem because 80% of the referees evidently prefer the Ibrox club. The SFA is not exactly known for transparency anyway.

     

     

    So my question is what steps will Celtic be taking to ensure the appropriate checks and balances are in place at the SFA to ensure that refereeing appointments are fair and the referees are not put in a position where their professional integrity could be brought into question.

     

     

    Bobby Madden’s allegiance was well known before today. Most of our fans I know and that’s a lot, said they feared he would influence the game to our disadvantage. And so it proved. I’m sure to don’t need me to go into detail on the specifics but particularly the tackle on Roberts (no foul!!) and the blatant penalty stand out. I also opine that both team played to a different set of rules. Madden controlled the match by giving a series of soft fouls against us whilst giving them carte blanche to kick us off the park.

    Poor performance today from the bhoys apart from Craig Gordon but hey shit happens . We move on win the league then get some tough barstewards for next season .

     

     

    love

  20. MiT

     

    Thanks for that.

     

    I applaud the idea but, for me, a banner should be eye-catching ( The Four Horsemen being the Classic) and the message should be instant.

     

    Thanks again anyway and goodnight all.

  21. If anyone here thinks video evidence is going to be introduced here in Scotland, the I’m afraid you’ve got another think coming, to in intriduce this would be catastrophic, cheating would have to stop, Masonic cabals would be fecked up, and the game here in Scotland would be a level playing field, now what the f… would that do do the brothers in the lodge? And the sfa, you must be f…..g joking.

  22. The ‘only’ time in the history of Scottish fitba that the Cellic stood any chance of not being mibberied, was when Neil Francis Lennon rattled the masonic cages by exposing the attempted deceipt of Dallas and Dougie-Dougie, which resulted in the MIBs going on strike after they had been fun oot.

     

    That was the beggining of the end of the NFL-Rebellion as, soon after the MIBs strike, after being fun oot for colluding to decieve the Cellic manager, the campaign from the anti-Cellic SMSM made up the minds of the PLC board to reign-in NFL.

     

    As soon as it became apparent that NFL had been nuetered…..McCulloch ended Kayal’s Cellic career with a shocking tackle and the sad sight of NFL with his plc-mibbery-muzzle-fitted, being reduced to saying – “It was a fair challenge, just two committed players going for the ball.”

     

    That, for me was a comment fae the back of the bus. So sad to see one of our greatest ever battler’s being put to the back of the bus by the PLC.

     

    Look at the situation today and we had Brendan telling us what Clint Hill said?!?!?

     

    Never mind Clint Hill, Brendan, why can’t you just show some cojones and tell us ‘your’ thoughts ?

     

    Ye see, if the message is sent out that, the Cellic manager has no cojones then, his team will become punchbags…..imho

     

    No Cojones in the dugout…..

     

    Usually means…..

     

    No Cojones on the pitch…..

     

    ……….oot.

  24. Disappointed with many aspects of our play today , can’t remember any game this season where our passing was so wasteful .

     

     

    Madden is doing what Madden does well . The opposition are given benefit of doubt.

     

    Celtic are penalised . The game against Dundee at Celtic park before Christmas gave all the evidence required . We had three quarters of the possession and double the foul count .

     

    When our passing , intensity , or decision making is below standard , as it was today , the referee can then become far more influential .

     

    When the referee is a Hun with a whistle don’t expect him to be impartial .

     

    Especially against that mob .

     

    It needs highlighted and sooner the better.

    Dead right .

     

    However , the G.B. will be aware that the banner is now available to the world on the net .

     

    Not simply for those present at the event.

     

    My son just brought the banner to my attention and explained the association with this.

  26. Once again Sergio Ramos comes to Real Madrids rescue. Arguably the best headerer in world football. An outstanding captain.

  27. There was a long banner that amused me in the upper north west .

     

    “Celtic know all about your troubles , you’ll shite till your day is done.”

     

    To the tune of Follow follow.

     

    Also I caught the green brigade march down London Road. What a spectacle. Green smoke billowing ,crackers exploding and the GB in full voice. Several police vans joining in with the flashing lights and sirens. Think the polis enjoyed being part of the theatre.

    What attempt ?

     

    Video refs. Our only hope.

  29. BIG-CUP-WINNERS on

    Most of the referees are from the Glasgow and Lanarkshire associations, aren’t they ?

     

     

    The SFA couldn’t implement a policy of barring officials from matches they’re favourites are in.

     

     

    Not that they’d want to. TET has the rights of things here.

     

     

    If video evidence was introduced they’d give the gig to EBT Thomson.

     

     

    Ps anyone heard from Embramike recently ?
