    It is really important on all Celtic forums that we totally condemn the unsavoury scenes at Parkhead last night.

     

    Imagine Neil Lennon having to listen to these chants.

     

     

    To remain silent is to condone.

     

     

    HH.

  2. Did anyone see missiles being thrown?

     

     

    Fences being thrown?

     

     

    Policemen being injured?

     

     

    Mibbe those people who were arrested can answer the questions.

     

     

    Oh, sorry, there were no arrests.

     

     

    Mibbe it wasn’t the full scale riot that was reported by our friends in the mssm.

     

     

    I do not in anyway condone the chants by anyone towards our manager.

    ‘Throwing missiles at Celtic staff?’

    Is there any video evidence of this?

  4. Ah well … may as well head into the office and see all the Huns smiling ..

     

     

    It’s going to be a long few weeks until January the 1st when hopefully we go to Southampton and bring back El Gran Murella …. nothing against Barkas but we need the big man back pronto … surely the Southampton bench isn’t that comfortable

    Not paying an extra £500k for John Mcginn cost us millions

     

     

    ——————————————————————————————

     

    Peter Lawwell told the 2018 AGM

     

     

    “John McGinn did not want to come to Celtic”

     

     

    Nothing about unable to agree terms with Hibs or the player. Simply stated the above.

  6. Philbhoy,

     

     

    There are very few arrests at any confrontation nowadays. It’s all done by camera and future dawn raids.

     

     

    Incidentally it’s very noticeable that Humza Yusuf immediately condemned Celtic supporters for “disgraceful ” acts.

     

    This is manna from heaven for a justice secretary tryng to get a controversial hate bill through.

     

     

    HH to you.

  7. Forget McGinn…

     

     

    Signing Soro, Klimala, Shved, Duff, Bolingoli, Taylor….etc has cost us more.

  8. GEEBEE1978

     

    …………………..and Turnbull…….and Bayo……………and………..

     

     

    Och, away for a fry up.

  9. You can add

     

     

    Bayo

     

    Morgan

     

     

    Feel free to add more waste of money signings.

     

     

    I’m sure there’s plenty if we go back a few years

  10. I’ve said for a while on here about our supporters being more concerned about what is happening or not over at Ibrox,I think one big problem is this 10 in a row,it’s a albatross round our necks,also quite a few players don’t really understand what the 10 actually means,Don’t get me wrong it would be good if the 10 could be done,seems we are getting obsessed by it ,it’s a pity we couldn’t put it to bed, As for Neil Lennon really needs to look at himself ,surely he must know that it’s over .

  11. glendalystonsils on

    I was nowhere near Celtic Park last night , I’m quite happy to sit and nurse my anger at home . However , none of the footage I have watched shows missiles being thrown . As for throwing these sections of fencing , I saw a few being pushed over , but I take my hat off to anyone who could pick one up and throw it .

     

    That’s not to say I condone the abuse and intimidation of anyone but if I can sit at home and kick a chair after that fiasco yesterday , I can understand someone with a shorter fuse going a bit further.

  12. Time for a change

     

     

     

    …….

     

     

     

    Before Philbhoy’s cholesterol levels hit the roof with those fry-ups :)

     

     

    or does he deserve ‘batter’?

    ‘extreme right wing Tories (essentially the BNP)’

     

     

    ###

     

     

    That’s nonsense. There’s a huge difference between the current Westminster government and the BNP. Probably even greater than the difference between the Holyrood government and Arthur Donaldson, though it’s worth mentioning that Sturgeon did give a lecture in his honour.

     

     

     

    #####

     

     

     

    ‘ To be forever ruled’

     

     

    ####

     

     

    Nothing is for ever (except herpes, but that’s a different topic).

     

     

    ###

     

     

    ‘The destruction of Corbyn shows……’

     

     

    No it doesn’t. It shows that challenging vested interests is difficult and not for the faint hearted. The SNP of course played their in defeating Corbyn part by supporting the Tories to shorten the term of the last Parliament. Not because it benefitted the people of Scotland, but because it benefitted them. Just like they brought down the Callaghan government and laid the way for Thatcher. Bad for the Scottish people, good for the SNP.

     

     

     

    ###

     

     

     

    ‘God knows it won’t be perfect but an indie Scotland with a future in the EU is a far more hopeful bet than that’

     

     

    How’s that going to work? Scotland’s main export market is England. If an independent Scotland is in the EU, there would be a hard border at Gretna and trade tariffs on exports to England.

     

     

    At the last referendum the SNP told us there would be no economic downsides to independence. They’ve now conceded, pre covid, that there would be a decade of austerity. If they’re admitting to a decade, pre covid, what would the reality actually be?

  14. £Millions wasted on projects and squad players.

     

     

    This goes deeper than just pointing the finger at the manager.

  15. GLENDALYSTONSILS :

     

    I had a still photo, sent to me last night ,of a guy with a section of barrier above his head ready to launch it at the police cordon.

     

     

    He doesn’t appear to be wearing a mask so his arrest will probably happen at 6am some morning this week.

  16. And for any gloating huns on here.

     

     

    I remember when your mob invaded your own POTY awards at the Hilton shouting abuse at all and sundry.

    I would condemn the chants directed at Neil Lennon. But responsibility for things getting to this stage rests with the Club’s absentee owner and his side kick.

  18. MORAVCIK on 30TH NOVEMBER 2020 10:34 AM

     

     

    Agreed. Rodgers’ comments on the Shved signing made it clear that no half-decent manager worth his salt could work happily under this structure.

  19. Well that was a right bad day all round . Even way off form we should be able to take care of Ross county . And I don’t mean to demean them they are a smashing wee club . In my opinion I feel it’s time to relieve Neil of his duties , he has lost it completely . But whoever has the job of sourcing a new boss do the job correctly . We pushed the boat out for one of the best in BR . So surely that’s achievable again , a top man with a domestic and European pedigree . But this time no interference from boardroom people whose job it is to solely finance the managements wants . At this moment we are as low as we have been for many a year , but all is not lost we need new ideas and we need a clear out of some of our squad , we have players playing who are just going through the motions , they don’t have the club in there heart , a team of players as soft as I’ve seen in my days watching celtic . But to get the right calibre in , first we need to upgrade our scouting ,

     

    we haven’t half had some Bad buys . the scouser bought 5 players all over 6ft 4 “ wee brought in wee Taylor at left back 5ft 7” , after selling our best for 25 million we spend nearly 3million on his replacement . We lost lustig at 6 ft 2” And replaced him with wee frimpong at right back . We

     

    could and should have had McGinn who has the attributes we require , after losing armstrong but interference stopped that . Dembele another huge money sale to be replaced by mediocrity, I know we can’t replace like for like ,but better quality we can demand . This has been coming for a few years now , steadily downgrading , we need new players brought in , players who will give there all ,who will roll up there sleeves and battle for the club . At present we have a team of uninterested softies . My main concern is our absent landlord , after his spouting in praise of our rivals , is he getting what he wants , if he is that may explain Paul’s it will get worse comment . HH

  20. Well, players used to play shit all night long

     

    They made us cry, they done us wrong

     

    They hurt our eyes open, that’s no lie

     

    Tables turn and now their turn to cry

     

     

    Because we used to love them, but it’s all over now

     

    Because we used to love them, but it’s all over now

     

     

    Pete used to run around buying every tube in town

     

    He spent all our money, playing his ‘high class’ game

     

    But now we’re out, it’s just a pity how we cried

     

    Tables turn and now his turn to cry

     

     

    Because we used to love him,

     

    but it’s all over now

     

    Because we used to love him,

     

    but it’s all over now

     

     

    Well, I buy my season ticket every month of May

     

    To make sure we’re ready to play the Celtic way.

     

    But now the shirts been shrunk, to fit those who let us down.

     

    Still trying to take us for that same old clown

     

     

    But I still love Broony,

     

    but it’s all over now

     

    But I still love Lenny,

     

    but it’s all over now

     

     

    But I still love Celtic,

     

    but it’s all over now

    Ernie,

     

     

     

     

     

     

    What about individual responsibility?

     

     

    ###

     

     

    What about it? Ultimate responsibility rests with the people at the top, who will now be controlling the narrative that you are basing your opinions on. See also Bobo Balde, Jackie Macnamara, John McGinn etc. Anyone who crosses Lawwell gets trashed, Trump style.

  22. we currently have the worst group of so called centre backs Julien , Ajer, Bitton,Duff y , you couldn’t make a centre half out of the 4 of them and don’t get me started on goalies, midfielders, wingers and strikers.

  23. The insults OUTSIDE Celtic Park, by approximately 50 people, hurled at Neil last night are rightly condemned by all. The club then issue a statement regarding this. Did anyone see the statement by the club when 25,000 people sang sectarian songs at a Cup Final, or even more so, when 8,000 people continually sang sectarian songs INSIDE Celtic Park? Did I miss it? por cierto.

  24. 67 European Cup Winners on

    IT’S COMPLICATED

     

     

    Big Issue – Big Moment – Big Decision

     

     

    Peter Lawwell is the ISSUE

     

    PL has a solid record in terms of domestic trophies won and financial stability

     

    But infallibility has alluded PL he seems to have trouble understanding people

     

    When dealing with Petrie over McGinn PL believed he would get McGinn on the price he thought was right – he had no idea it was a sellers market and he would need to pay ( an extra £500k allegedly) being immune to the people skills needed to secure a deal PL cost Celtic millions as well as a natural Scott Brown replacement

     

    He is doing it again today – NL should have been sacked after we were knocked out of the CL but PL would need to pay him a year salary – so PL thinks he will wait until NL resigns he thinks he is saving money – he is costing Celtic a fortune PL has not learned from the the McGinn deal NL is going nowhere until he is sacked

     

    With BR, an outstanding Manager, PL could not match BRs ambition for Celtic worse he could not manage his expectations or BR as an employee – he screwed up the relationship

     

    PL at this point was getting tired of people challenging him – he wants to do whatever he wants without interference He controls everyone and everything at Celtic – he has dictator tendencies

     

    There are rumblings that any decent manager would not be willing to work with PL

     

    BR would not recommend PL as a supportive CEO i’m not sure Ronny Deila, Martin O’Neill, Gordon Strachan and now NL would either

     

     

    Dermot Desmond is the big MOMENT

     

    PL has got away with his issues in the past ,because we were winning and the Balance sheet was strong

     

    DD was prepared to put up with PL as long as he did not have to worry about the financial side of Celtic

     

    DD made a few quid and let PL run the show

     

    But now after PL convinced DD that NL was the answer not only are we not winning but DDs money is being squandered so this is a big moment for DD stick or twist !!!!

     

     

    Be it DD or PL (if he survives) one of them has a big DECISION

     

    Go for a quick fix with a view to trying to win the league or wait until the right man is available and willing to come, effectively accepting that the league has gone

     

     

    DD has all the cards I have no idea how he will play them but his next decision will influence the next 10 years

     

     

    On a lighter note I feel for Paul67 and how he writes his post today

     

    PL will try and have him focus on the actions of a few fans outside last night

     

    Or we may get the NL is being obstructive by not resigning

     

    Or the players let us down

     

    Or it had to end sometime

     

    BUT IT WILL NOT BE PL HAS TO GO

     

     

    67ECW

  25. Team for Thursday –

     

    Hazard

     

    Elhamed, Welsh, Duffy, Taylor

     

    Henderson, Turnbull, Soro, Ntcham

     

    Ajeti, Klimala

     

    Throw in a couple of subs and keep the rest at home, Covid-free and training hard

     

     

    Then for next Sunday –

     

    Barkas

     

    Elhamed, Jullien, Ajer, Laxalt

     

    Frimpong, Turnbull, McGregor, Christie

     

    Griffiths, Edouard

     

     

    Too soon?

  26. onenightinlisbon on

    Do we seriously think that Lawwell will replace the present manager with a top quality one?

     

     

    Cheap option to get us through to the season’s end, then cheerio.

  27. Jobo – You’re just trying to spice up the CQN player of the year competition aren’t you?

     

     

    :)

  28. One upside I suppose is that we won’t be seeing any more articles calling for fans to be readmitted to stadiums for a while.

  29. jimbob71 & little Miss jimbob on

    Jobo,

     

     

    I like the 2nd team you put up but I don’t know enough about Turnbull. Midfield maybe a bit soft?

  30. If Strachan gets the Job it obviously means no-one else wants it. 10IAR is a too much pressure for many a good manager !
