  1. Dallas Dallas where the heck is Dallas on

    Sydneytim, Peter Lawwell would fit in with the view some have of accountants, they can be creative in getting figures to look better or to suit what’s required.

     

     

    Dodgy Dave the first ‘s accountants seemed very adept at that.

  2. A young lad named John Thomson,

     

    From the west of Fife he came,

     

    To play for Glasgow Celtic,

     

    And to build himself a name.

     

     

    On the fifth day of September,

     

    ‘gainst the Rangers club he played,

     

    From defeat he saved the Celtic,

     

    Ah but what a price he paid.

     

     

    The ball rolled from the centre,

     

    Young John ran out and dived,

     

    The ball rolled by; young John lay still,

     

    For his club this hero died.

     

     

    I took a trip to Parkhead,

     

    To the dear old Paradise,

     

    And as the players came out,

     

    Sure the tears fell from my eyes.

     

     

    For a famous face was missing,

     

    From the green and white brigade,

     

    And they told me Johnny Thomson,

     

    His last game he had played.

     

     

    Farewell my darling Johnny,

     

    Prince of players we must part,

     

    No more we’ll stand and cheer you,

     

    On the slopes of Celtic Park.

     

     

    Now the fans they all are silent,

     

    As they travel near and far,

     

    No more they’ll cheer John Thomson,

     

    Our bright and shining star.

     

     

    So come all you Glasgow Celtic,

     

    Stand up and play the game,

     

    For between your posts there stands a ghost,

     

    Johnny Thomson is his name.

     

     

    The wrong song to kick off the ole CQTen

    The Original Sadie’s Bhoy,

     

     

    I’m glad your post wasn’t directed to me. However, telling people to be “less sniffy and altruistic” is not arguing the point, hence my mention of ad-hominems

     

     

    I’m well aware that we all express our opinions on here, so long as we observe Paul67’s house rules. No one suggested anything different.

     

     

    Celtoc do need to make as much moneyy as they can and use it as efficiently as possible.

     

     

    You talked about not caring whether it was a betting company or not so long as it helped Celtic get a better standard of player or hold o to players for longer, then that was the bottom line for you.

     

     

    However, everyone has a limit.

     

     

    14 or 15 years ago you wouldnt have accepted Celtic using a properly administered EBT scheme would you? They were considered to be tax avoidance as opposed to tax evasion (think i got that the right way round).

     

     

    My.opinion is that Celtic shouldn’t be advertising gambling companies on the strip.

     

    ————-

     

    Were ok with the Magners sponsor?

  4. SydneyTim says sack Lawell now on

    Aidenbhoy. We want a Ceo that ensures every penny available goes to investment I the team

     

    We want a Ceo who’s number one priority is to have players on the park to enable us to get to CL

     

    Not a Ceo who keeps cash in bank while our team are embarrassed in Europe mainly by teams with no cash in the bank

  5. Dallas Dallas where the heck is Dallas on

    TBJ, I think Lubo and the wee nyaff’s dad were former team mates either at club or international level .

     

     

    Thankfully, Weiss’ career seems to have gone down the cludgie.

  6. Gerry

     

    I just finished watching the game, and there were more than a few positives.

     

    The month ends with ICT at home and Hamacad away.

     

    I don’t think anyone would bet on us dropping points in either game.

     

    The towel chuckers will have a quiet March.

    Love that song,Gerry.

     

     

    Really summed up my feelings at that particularly sad time.

     

    It has certainly lasted longer than “Puppet on a String.”

  8. Sydneytim

     

     

    I think the squad we had should have got us to the champs league I blame the manager not Peter Lawwell for that.

  9. TBJ says Wee Oscar Knox is in heaven with the angels on

    Dallas

     

     

    His career went south when he came north …. in many ways both his career and rangers died together

     

     

    Awwwww … wee shame; )

    DALLAS DALLAS WHERE THE HECK IS DALLAS on 13TH FEBRUARY 2016 10:37 PM

     

    Macjay, the wee horror was Vladimir Weirs. A player they had on loan from Man City. A horrible wee nyaff. Another player who seems to have fallen for the we ur ra peepul / no surrender attitude.

     

     

    He was pictured at a game he was suspended from, wearing a no surrender scarf.

     

     

    As an aside he is the reason Man City are one of the creditors of the defunct club. They were never paid the 300 grand loan fee for Weiss

     

    —————————————————————————————————————————————–

     

     

    Thanks,mate.

     

    Perhaps that ,in part ,explains why Man City deal with us now.

     

    Hope so.

    THETIMREAPER

     

     

    I agree most want Ronny gone and it will probably happen in the summer

     

     

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

     

     

    Too late.

  12. SydneyTim says sack Lawell now on

    Aiden. One centre half ( who was off ) and one striker

     

    Add that with a Center half who had played about 5 games in last 2 years ( boyata). Then add a manger hired by Peter Lawell who had virtually no Europe experience

     

    Add that with poor signings from Lawell park and our squad was no match for Molde. Never mind Malmo

  13. Dharma Bam on 13th February 2016 10:57 pm

     

     

    Not particularly, no.

     

     

    Why?

     

    ———

     

    You said gambling was drawing a line, when booze is magnitudes worse just thought it strange that now was you drawing a line.

  14. CultsBhoy can not relate to Celtic Board ambitions on or off the park on

    Had a busy day today with various things so haven’t read back, read any match reports or listened to any reports…all I can say is thank f*** . 3 points all that matters

     

     

    Pressure now on Aberdeen.

     

     

    Good result..!

  15. SYDNEY TIM / AIDEN BHOY

     

     

    The European failures were down to Deila, Collins and Kennedy being out of their depth.

  16. Sydneytim

     

     

    We were 2-0 up after 10 mins then 3-1 with a minute to go against Malmo and blew it that was not down to Peter Lawell.

  17. 3 points in the bag….would take that any day of the week, especially with the form we’ve been in recently.

     

    A deserved 3 points? Yes

     

    Did Ross County offer anything to really bother us when we’re playing 11 v 11? No.

     

    We have better players than RCfc have, of that there is no doubt.

     

     

    2 things are really noticeable though.

     

    1. The ghuys playing in that 1st team squad appear to be playing with a with a lack of confidence

     

    2.The manager & coaches provide no flexibility with the formation we start & end with. This is the same, both home & away.

     

    There’s no variety to our play. We’re too easy to read just now & there isn’t a player wearing the hoops that either can or is told to do something that is out of the ordinary, that can change a game at the drop of a hat. No number 10 that is told to play like a number 10.

     

    We play football by the numbers & if you continue to do that, if you provide no variety to your play, sooner or later you’ll be found out. Motherwell at home earlier this season was a case in point.

     

     

    As a Celtic supporter, season ticket holder, away day attender, I’ll back the team from start to finish….faithful through & through.

     

    However, I still worry that we are too predictable in our play & I have a major problem that with this squad, there’s just not enough heart & fight to carry us through when the chips are down.

     

    We’re in a dogfight to win the league just now & the challenge is welcomed.

     

     

    Having watched & read about what rangers (& the SFA) did to us in the past, what sevco & the SFA & SPFL have been trying to do to us since, for me, my burning ambition as a Celtic supporter, is to do the “10”.

     

    That will scar them all forever.

     

    For me, we do the “10”, that will be a start.

     

    We achieve that, then we move onto the next target.

     

    We will be despised & hated for doing that.

     

    That’s what I want……Why?

     

    Because we will have done it the right way. No cheating. No underhand favours provided in achieving it.

     

    I hope & pray that we hit “5”, because if I’m honest I don’t think that the club/board/management will be allowed to be as lax as we’ve been this year, as we stride towards the “10”.

     

    I know I’m not alone.

     

    There are thousands of ghuys/ghirls just like me wishing for the same.

     

     

    Let’s not forget the problems we’ve caused ourselves this season. Let’s recognise them, learn from them & move on.

     

    We have the best squad of players in Scotland of that there is no doubt. What we need is for that squad to play with a style & confidence that suits them all. It’s not about 1 system. It’s not about major alterations either. It’s about the opposition being unsure what we’re going to do at the start of a game & what changes we make during it. We need to keep the opposition guessing during the course of a game. That’s what we don’t do just now, which is why we toil in games. Today was no different.

     

    In Ronnie & the coaching staff we trust???…..I just don’t know.

     

    Can they, the coaching staff & the players step up to the plate & get us to this title?…..I genuinely think so.

     

    But it’s going to take balls. It’s going to take guts. We’re going to have to fight for this title.

     

    I doubt that there’s one person on this site that doesn’t want the “10

     

    To get to the “10” we need to win the 5 & 6 & 7 & 8 & 9. It’s one step at a time.

     

    I believe we can do this.

     

    As one, we should all be backing each other. The players, the coaching staff, the management, the supporters.

     

    I want EVERY other supporter of every other club in Scotland to hate us……to hate us because we’re the most successful club in Scotland. And that we’ve earned that accolade through not cheating, with no underhand favours provided.

     

    We are all Celtic……..let’s do this….together

  18. I Don’t feel sorry for Stubbs.i watched the game at Livingston. Just stands there no motivation, arms folded no not for me as a future coach at Celtic as for Stokes didn’t do much,young Henderson no more going out on loan for him.to good a player,

  19. Dallas Dallas where the heck is Dallas on

    Macjay, it would be good if that was the reason we have a good relationship with man City. More than likely it’s because Peter Lawwell’s son works for them. The deid club also owe Chelsea 200 grand appearance money for a pre season friendly at Ibrox.
