Fanatic
In fairness….. how many of the players have really shown what they are capable of this year? Under a different manager, I am confident that NB will have you singing his praises next season….
In fact, I am so confident that you will see the error of your ways, that if you dont (and you are on your honour here), 20 pounds will go to Mary’s Meals. :)
HT…
Congrats to you and H. Hail Hail.
I see I was mentioned in dispatches, or is that rather postcards from the edge, by Donald where’s yer troosers earlier.
Alongside many other of the regular, much esteemed contributors too.
Does that mean I’m wan of the clique noo? (Despite being fae Ayrshire) :-)
Just off the phone to congratulate Claudio Ranieri and I can exclusively reveal he has registered an interest in managing my club . I didn’t want to mention this until our respective clubs had tied up the major league titles in Scotland and England.
HT & Minx
Congratulations.
TT
HT … congratulations on your news.
HH
Its traditional for the groom and best man to be attired identically. What a sight seeing HT and tony donly striding down that isle……in thur brown brogues:_)
A picture even tony,s favorite paper couldnt publish.
Best to you and yer minx HT, see you saturday.
Read on here earlier that o’neill left a dire legacy.. Dear god Iv read it all now.
Pretty sure the years before O’neill were a lot worse.
ACGR, I have brown brogues, I like brown brogues, they are nice shoes.
I do not have a blue suit though, they are not nice.
Hamilton Tim
I will hire out the kerrydale suite for your reception at a very good rate .. trust me on that :)
Can you advise me if minx will now be known as Mrs minx Tim
Doc

=====================================================
That’ll be some party down the asylum tonight.
Did anyone ask Charlie Gallagher if his grandsons were getting Oasis back together?
Gearoid, are you in town sat?
Our pal the emarald prince is arriving about 8. BV. Its a three o,clock kick off but extra time is a certainty.
HH
ACGR, might ask for a day pass.
Hadn’t heard of this day oot.
But been working.
Will be at the game for sure. Is it BV after the game?
A CEILER GONOF RUST
A tool shed is no place to tie up your good lady.. please release her – let her go
P.S. looking for a spare for the emerald prince. He,s somewhere in the U.S. at the moment gambling away the money he could have used TO ACTUALLY BUY a ticket.
Daft fudd.
Peter T, while commending your taste in shoes, I cannot recommend your shady taste in suits.
Frankly shocking.
Minx and HT many congrats to you both, maybe see you both on Sat. HH Hebcelt

Tell us something that will surprise us Peter.
Doc:
Saturday = Pish up in fun city.
Sunday = Celtic game in fun city.
Dont get these two mixed up.
MIKE IN TORONTO
I hope i have to donate to Mary’s meals.
Will do either way.
But seriously i just don’t see a player there.
I am noting that a change of coach and system can sometimes transform duds.
If i ever make it to Toronto would love to meet up.
Hail Hail

Can’t believe the comments about Martin O’Neill here. O’Neill managed Celtic from June 2000 to May 2005. As has been well documented this was during a period of financial wrongdoing at Ibrox.
Despite this O’Neill achieved a winning percentage of 75.53%.
The highest percentage, of any Manager/Coach in the history of Celtic.
Meanwhile at Ibrox, during the Murray years. Prior to and leading to financial collapse;
Souness…….63.32%
Smith………..65.52%
Advocatt……67.53%
McLeish…….65.96%
Le Guen…….51.61%
Smith………..62.86%
Infact O’Neill has the highest percentage of all Manager’s at Celtic and Rangers prior to the bankruptcy of Rangers.
Okay there were disappointments but if the next coach can get anywhere near 75% that will do me.
HT
How do you know you’ve found the perfect Ghirl?
Answer?
When she says…….
Ps we spoke about a Christmas/Easter wedding and it was H that said we can’t in case Celtic are playing!
I’ll say a wee prayer of thanks for you both.
HH jamesgang
Like this young Mhan’s attitude.
—————————————————
PERHAPS one of the factors in the disconnect between the Celtic support and the club in recent years has been that, no sooner have the former taken a favoured player to their hearts than he abandons them, wooed away by a wealthier suitor.
Ki Sung Yeung, Gary Hooper, Victor Wanyama, Fraser Forster, Jason Denayer and Virgil van Dijk have all come and gone in recent years, sold to balance the books and compensate for the failure to generate significant income from European competition.
There is a pragmatism at play here, too. None of the aforementioned claimed to grow up playing Subbuteo with their team in green-and-white hoops, nor were they weaned on tales of the Lisbon Lions.
Kiernan Tierney is different. Not only did he grow up cheering on the club whose shirt he wears with such obvious pride but, speaking after being named as PFA Scotland’s Young Player of the Year, the 18-year-old made it perfectly clear he has no intention of playing for anyone else.
“Celtic is my dream club,” he said. “I have been here for 11 years and I am playing first-team football for the club I grew up supporting.
“I’m loving every minute of it. I tend not to look at stories about me too much, although sometimes you cannot avoid it. I’ve been linked with big clubs but it’s just Celtic for me.
“Like I say, it’s the dream. I’ve probably used the word dream a lot this season, but it really is for me to be playing in the first-team at Celtic.
“I need to realise how lucky I am to be in this position and I try my best every day to be so grateful for it. When you are a wee guy, you want to grow up and become a Celtic legend.
“Obviously, I am miles off that just now because my career has only just started. I just hope I can keep on playing for Celtic. That’s all I want.”
Tierney was mad about Celtic even before he signed his first forms for them while still at primary school in Lanarkshire and his relatives share his passion.
“I used to love going to the games as a ball-boy,” he revealed. “You would go to the ground really early and hit some shots, then give the players the ball back when they hit their shots during the warm-up.
“So I know exactly how the current boys will be feeling and their dream will be the same as mine was, to go on and play for the first team.”
Tierney is now guaranteed a place in the club’s record books after claiming his first winner’s medal, effectively guaranteeing a fifth successive Premiership title with the 3-1 victory over Hearts on Saturday.
“If you saw me at Tynecastle, you would have noticed that I didn’t want to come off the pitch,” he grinned. “I honestly didn’t want the celebrations to end.
“Obviously, it was such an amazing occasion for me and I was really passionate about it; that’s why I was celebrating with the fans.
“It was a dream come true but the other reason I stayed on the park so long was that I was searching for my family! I knew they were in the ground somewhere but I couldn’t catch their eye because I didn’t know what seats they were in.
“Naturally, I didn’t want to go back to the dressing room without seeing them, but I had to. I couldn’t spot them. It turned out that they were up the back of the stand, which is why I missed them.”
Winning his first Scotland cap when he started the 1-0 victory over Denmark at Hampden in March seems all the more remarkable to a teenager who had anticipated that he could have been accumulating experience in League 1 or League 2 rather than facing Christian Eriksen.
“I never ever thought these things could have happened to me, especially at such a young age,” he said. “People say coming through at Celtic is hard and there is no doubt that it is because it’s a club with such high standards.
“I was fortunate enough to be given the chance when I’d probably have expected at this point to still be playing for the Under-20s or, maybe, out on loan at a lower league club somewhere.”
