  1. Do bus convenor’ s check match tickets of everyone boarding their bus. Of course not.

     

     

    I can’t see a Celtic Bus convenor saying ” Papers please “

  2. The blog owner gets to decide on content.

     

    However, incredible that there has been no article on our recent CEO departure.

     

    Is our recruitment process badly flawed? Do we carry out due diligence?

     

    Are we stronger today than we were last week?

  3. Convenors have a tough enough job certainly on my bus without having them check vaccine status.

     

    I thought we missed big Tones energy yesterday on the right, I like Juranovic but seems to come inside too often. He is however getting used to the system. HH ☘

  4. Uncle Jimmy,

     

     

    To be fair to Paul, He only uploads articles Monday to Friday, and it’s been that way for as long as I can recall.

     

     

    It’s a Big story obviously but Ange is the Man. He is a Celtic Supporter now.

     

     

    This Ohmega.

    Very well summed up, delusional is exactly right.

    I enjoyed watching Raducanu win last night wearing Romanian colours, though there has to be something wrong with the WTA worldwide.

     

     

    Not a chance of next year’s FA Cup Final being played between Barnet v West Warrington Armadillos and if it happens, the BTSport and Sky regulars on this blog and elsewhere will not be waxing lyrical about the strength, depth and sunny future of English football.

     

    —————————————————————

     

     

    What’s the difference between Emma Raducanu and Prince Andrew?

     

    Emma’s balls are kept in her skirt pocket. Andrew’s haw maws are caught in a vice of his own making.

  7. The tennis girl will off course be Canadian of Romania and Chinese parentage as soon as she loses.

     

     

    Like Andy has been Scottish since being injured.

    I see Denmark ( country similar pop size to Scotland spread over 2 land masses ) is declaring itself free from covid.

     

     

    Not insisting on jabbing anyone. Focused on ensuring old and vulnerable are jabbed if they wish. No effort to make young adults or kids take an unnecessary jab.

     

     

    Same strategy as suggested for UK by Dame Gilbert who invented the AZ jab in the Telegraph on Friday.

     

     

    Weird that Celtic and other Scottish clubs need to spend time, money and effort on an unnecessary law like this when Newcastle London or Scottish Rugby clubs or Manchester or Belfast don’t. God knows it’s tough enough for our clubs to make the financials work.

     

     

    Personally kinda glad I won’t be there in October for the chaos at the initial games. Going to watch football at Newcastle or Manchester or the amateurs for this next month or two might be a decent substitute / change until sanity prevails.

  9. BSR @ 5:04 PM,

     

     

    Who would win in fight between old out of touch incompetents and too young inexperienced underqualifieds.

     

     

    Thetruthwillout CSC

     

     

    Well, we know that the out of touch incompetents couldn’t fight their way out of a wet paper bag – as throwing away Brendan Rodgers advantage in a matter of months and loosing the ten to mediocre Rangers testifies.

     

     

    They were stuck in the headlights last season and could not do a thing about it…

     

     

    I don’t think the too underqualified and too inexperienced is really fair on Dom McKay.

     

     

    The progress we have made from June until September is really quite incredible, when you think of our attitude, performances and squad last season to where we are now, huge strides.

     

     

    There is not one iota of evidence to support the view you present and plenty to suggest we were going in the right direction with middle aged Dom.

     

     

    Remember the utterances from Lenny and the Board got to the level of total embarrassments last season.

     

     

    Our statements and managers press conferences have been much, much better and more professional this season.

     

     

    The statement on the Rangers’ racists for example… First time since John Reid Celtic grow a set… Was that a problem for some!?

     

     

    Were these the same guys who wanted Gordon Strachan for DoF!?

     

     

    At the time I read this, it certainly made me think Dom McKay had thrown down the gauntlet…

     

     

    [On Gordon Strachan coming in] McKay said: “No. I want to make my own mark and part of that is looking at how we might want to modernise and evolve. I will make sure we are a forward looking club.”

     

     

    On future structure, McKay added: “I am completely open minded.

     

     

    “Your suggestion was that Gordon was coming in to do a director of football role, that is not my intention.

     

     

    “Once we get the structure right we will make the decisions on who to populate that with.”

     

     

    A man of cajones AND integrity… No place on a Celtic Board for such a man, a manwho fights his corner…

     

     

    Who would win a fight:)))))) What fight.!?

     

     

    Hail Hail

  10. StStives You must be wearing shades ,The whole stadium needs a complete upgrade ,I suppose some shareholders just interested in there returns rather than have the Stadium cleaned ,yes and sooner Desmond and some on that incompetent board leave the better ,The restricted areas in Celtic Park need to be looked at too ,There is extra cash coming into the club if they could get there act together and get rid of them big Girders at both ends of the main Stand ,but Lawell wouldn’t do that it would interfere with his bonus .

    In Denmark 80% over the age of 12 are double jabbed.

  12. TeT…

     

     

    You called it right on Dom…

     

     

    Why do II always believe the false dawns!?

     

     

    Hope over experience I guess

    Hail Hail

  13. CELTIC MAC

     

     

    Raducanu was bleeding when the game was stopped so that she could get treatment.

     

    The timing in the actual match was coincidental.

     

     

    Within the rules.

     

     

    A Celtic player would not be allowed to play on with an injury that was bleeding.

     

     

    Not sure your being honest and upfront.

     

     

    mmmmm

     

     

    Well done EMMA!

  14. Burnley. I believe the boss is being clever in making use of the squad, Tony was due a wee rest and hope to see him involved in Seville.

     

    As for James, Ange stated a few days ago that he was nearly there, again probably decided not to rush him and have him available for the tougher games probably over Abada. Good to see Cal Mac subbed so early yesterday. Trust the boss ☺ HH ☘

  15. CHAIRBHOY

     

    I wish I had been wrong, obviously ruffled a few feathers the wrong way.

     

    Head hunted at a serious cost I imagine to modernise the set up, obviously the shock was too much for some >:)

     

    HH

  16. Philbhoy,

     

     

    It didnae look like the worst injury ever but Blood was flowing.

     

     

    Both players were outstanding and they both made it an incredible final.

  17. PETEC

     

     

    Indeed, however, I do believe treatment was required without delay.

     

     

    Fantastic spectacle.

    Maybe Paul doesn`t know enough about the background to this matter to write an article.

     

    I know that handicap doesn`t stop some posters but Paul is a much more ` reasonable` character .

  19. What is the Stars on

    Petec

     

    ‘re Denmark 80% vaccinated.

     

    Reported in the Guardian 2 days ago.

     

    Google it ..you will see lots of info about it.

     

    You can also choose to beleive what loony quackmeisters who predict alien mind control zombies are using the vaccine to turn us into…well whatever

  20. GuyFawkesaforeverhero on

    Two random things I liked this weekend:

     

     

    In the pub yesterday after our game, football was on the tv. Within seconds, I knew it was Leipzig v Bayern because the Bundesliga club names on the back of jerseys are above the number, player’s names below. Sensible.

     

     

    Celtic Women had a good comeback draw today, playing the Penny Cars Stadium in the correct first half/second half direction for our fans. I wish the B team bhoys would smarten their act and do the same.

  21. What is the Stars,

     

     

    No need, No need,

     

     

     

    for insulting Jibber Jabber. Its Celtic only for me on this Barry White.

     

     

    I got Angry when the Vaccine Passports were passed. I’m confident they will be scrapped soon.

     

     

    They urnae going away and will be Back with Avengence,

  22. In the Superbru predictor this week, Hopeful Hoops has a healthy lead over Marspapa and 18 yard man

     

     

    Big moves upwards by Big Archie, this week’s best performer, but Bada Bing, Majestic hartson, Raplochbus, Tirconnel, Gscbhooy and myself moved up too.

     

     

    At the bottom, ACGR gets this week’s wooden spoon but Leggy has moved off the overall bottom spot which is now occupied by Park Road 67

     

     

    Next deadline is 3p, next Saturday

  23. Chairbhoy @ 7.11

     

     

    Quelle surprise, that your mind seems already made up, and is weighing in heavily on the latest ‘victim’ of Celtic Football Club or ‘ .

     

     

    I liked Dominic, I liked his “ our noisy neighbours “ quote, and I saw potential in his telling the press ‘Celtic had, as usual sold more season tickets than any club in Scotland. His picture when we really did jet in Ange in a private Lear, was classy.

     

     

    But since he fell silent not long after his own launch, you me and every other joe sixpack Celtic supporter have only guess’s in what has happened, what he was responsible for and whether he can be seperated in the signings of Starfelt or Kyogo? Good on him, if the £20M outward spend in one window was his doing, I like him even more.

     

     

    He’s pretty popular already in the Celtic memory but whether he jumped or was pushed, it was the same old out of touch incompetents,  that appointed him and his egg shaped CV.

     

     

    We await the facts the rest is a pure waste of time CSC

     

     

    Hail Hail

  24. philbhoy

     

     

    I’ve already explained that a “medical time out” in the circumstances was not “within the rules”, at that point in the match.

  25. Well that was quite the weekend!! What to make of all that?

     

     

    Lots of rumours abound, but (and not in the know at all) for me it’s starting to look like:

     

     

    1. Desmond and McKay didn’t appear to get on particularly well, whereas Desmond and Ange do seem to;

     

    2. Ange got a bit annoyed earlier In the window. Desmond offered McKay some help from Lawell which McKay quite sensibly rejected. Desmond “became more hands on” as a result (or got his boy or Nicholson to help) and obvious felt a bit irked by it;

     

    3. Pre-Juranovic, Desmond and the Board put a pause on spending – probably until some monies were brought in by selling Eddie/Christie. Knowing Ange needed a right back, we went for Couto;

     

    4. Couto knocked us back, and McKay then panicked when faced by an annoyed and demanding Ange. He spent on Juranovic, probably suggesting it was fine as we’d bank some money later in the window. The Board didn’t like the speculate to accumulate approach, and Bankier had a whinge to Desmond;

     

    5. We did sell Eddie and Christie allowing us to bring in the Greek, Scales (which Desmond probably sorted), Jota and CCV;

     

    6. By now Desmond was supremely p*sped off with McKay and doubting he was the right man. McKay meanwhile felt he wasn’t being allowed to develop the job the way he wanted: Strachan probably part of the issue – probably acceptable “modernisation” for the board but not McKay; possibly also some dispute between McKay and Ange about the remit of Ange and who would appoint the new Heads of sports science, recruitment,etc (Ange talks a lot about how people will be brought in “if he thinks they are needed”).

     

     

    All this probably led to a heated discussion ending in McKay saying something like “you wanted me to modernise the club and the Board aren’t helping so back me or sack me” leading to the latter.

     

     

    I’m sure we’ll start hearing from sources close to McKay soon, and Paul may have been leaked more details. Whatever it is, we’re a laughing stock (again) and have given the media the opportunity to gloss over the rabid anti-Irish racism that’s so prevalent at the minute.
