Back in the 80s, when Billy McNeill was in charge, you could relay in Celtic responding after a defeat by giving the next poor team to face them a pasting. They played with urgency from the start, which they often only deployed in the closing minutes of games when they were chasing a winner.
Football then got a whole lot more methodical, especially since Martin O’Neill arrived and instilled a discipline unseen in my time watching Celtic. Under O’Neill and Gordon Strachan, Celtic would open the next game on-plan, without giving the impression they had something to prove. It might be different tonight. Neil Lennon has made it clear that the 11 who take the field against St Johnstone have something to prove to him, as well as to the support. I’m expecting a big result.
Blogging on the go today so not really got time to deal with Our Pal Charlie but I’ll catch up tomorrow.

Really intersting blog article on why Celtic should not go to the EPL -Starts with a useful perspective on Schuster’s negative comments re Celtic’s performance at Barca and follows up with a neat put down of Jeff Winter
Good strong starting 11 although I would have had Forrest, Miku, Lassad, anyone who could run, instead of Paddy on the bench

Hope no where near storms .HH
Nope. In geologically stable Phoenix, Arizona. (No landslides, no tsunamis, no tornados, no hurricanes, and only the odd sandstorm, which are no worse than the normal air pollution. *laugh*)

What a terrific piece that is. As a long-term resident of england, I dread the thought of Celtic joining the circus that is the EPL.
This blog articulates many of the reasons why…it is superb.
Tims I’ve met on my travels just don’t understand my objections, they are so torn up by the frustration it seems nonsensical that Celtic could be better off where they are in a wider sense than the strictly fiscal.
This blog hits the nail on the head many times…
Ticket price hikes so steep that joe punter is thrown a bone with “pleb nights in the early rounds of the League Cup.” Brilliant.
Would Lawwell and DD tolerate a ‘bunch of lefty agitators’ like the GB if they didn’t need to?
Etc, etc
Many thanks and HH!
SSB panel is getting themselves into a right mess:
Charles Green was perfectly ok to buy all that for a loan.
And what was the Ticketus money used by Whyte?
Pathetic.
Watching the Huns (continue to) self destruct is like watching the aftermath of the jewelry store heist in “Resevoir Dogs”: Eventually the will end up simultaneously topping each other …
Is anybody else freezing or am I just getting old?

my neighbour has a season ticket for Stoke at just under £400 – but he was thinking of going to away game at Norwichthis weekend – £45 for a ticket – however West Ham only £25
