Come to Celtic, we’ll make you a superstar

412

Moussa Dembele made the most of his debut opportunity for France under-21s yesterday. Arriving as a second half substitute, he soon won a penalty for France’s third and scored their fourth goal. The world has changed for Moussa since coming into the Celtic team for the injured Leigh Grifiths and scoring a hat-trick against Newco less than a month ago.

This is great news for the player but at a time when Celtic are pitching the opportunity to other young players to come to Celtic Park instead of sitting in the development teams of an English club, it’s just as good news for the player.

Moussa isn’t any better than he was at Fulham last year. Had he stayed, or moved to an English Premier League club, none of this would have happened. The move to Celtic has been career-changing within two months of the new season starting.

Telling Moussa’s story, and that of Fraser, Virgil and Victor, will be done again and again whenever Celtic track a player. “Come to Celtic, we’ll make you a superstar” is the mantra.

I see a bit of chat on the review of how away tickets are distributed.  Celtic have asked for input from lots of fans on this in recent weeks.  There are a few areas that aren’t working as well as they could at the moment, so the consultation is a good step.

    Yes I dont know the answer but something is wrong with our thinking. The Walfrid philosophy can only hep so much.

     

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

     

     

    Our thinking.

     

    Perhaps its not lateral enough.

    Art of War, the last gig at the Apollo was mental, the bouncers for once let you do what you wanted. I think they even peed off before the gig finished.

     

     

    The Style Council tour was meant to end the night before in Liverpool but when Paul Weller found out the Apollo was shutting down for good, he added it the tour. It was one of his favourite venues.

     

     

    The night before the Pogues played at Strathclyde Uni the night before . For me a great weekend on the music front in Glasgow.

    Dallas

     

     

    My greatest week in music was Derby in 1984. Freshers week. The Cure, Big Audio Dynamite, The Smiths, The Pogues, The Redskins and Anti Pasti. 6 great nights to start my life in England.

  6. Dallas Dallas where the heck is Dallas on

    Art of War, Tiffanys was another great concert venue in Glasgow.

     

     

    The only time I saw Simple Minds was there and it was the only bad gig I went to at that venue .

     

     

    I went right off them after that gig.

     

     

    Good night all and sleep well .

     

     

    To Southern Hemisphere posters , enjoy the rest of the day.

    Well whats good for Connolly is good for Donnelly as my old Coatbridge granny used to say.

     

    Which song would you like to hear tonight Gerry my dear friend?

     

    I was thinking

     

    Tim Dimmery or Tim drunkary but the choice is entirely yours! :)

     

    Im open minded :)

    Mags

     

     

    Obviously open minded, some night might hide behind monikers other behind gender

     

     

    The floor is yours

  9. Dallas Dallas where the heck is Dallas on

    Delaney’s, a great start to life down the road.

     

     

    The Pogues and the redskins would have been the highlights for me.

  10. Delaneys Dunky on

    Dallas

     

     

    They were to me too, but eclipsed because of seeing and then meeting Mick Jones after BAD gig. My hoops attracted him to me to share a pint and chat about Celtic and Irish politics. Great fenian mind he has.

    Not too sure if you ever post from a neutral position, maybe consider things before you decide when to be neutral unless it’s when it you decide the neutrality

     

     

    At least you post under your own name….. I came late to the game

    Just an Olive branch Gerry Shields from Coatbridge.

     

    I mean its CQN how neutral can one be?

     

    and No I will not tell you my name Gerry Shields from Coatbridge.

     

    thats for you to find out :)

     

    I’ll take you on in 3rd person gibberish if you want

  13. Celtic are Pure dead Brilliant.

     

     

    Rangers are just Dead, well they have been for 4 years now.

     

     

    Thats the Truth.

     

     

    Good Luck to all the Celts playing tomorrow for wee Gordons Scotland team. Stay injury free most of all, oh and be the standout players. ;))

     

     

    I must admit, I’d rather Kieran didn’t play, he has played so much fitba and I’d like him to get a wee break ready for our big games coming up. The thing is though, he is getting better and better the more he is playing.

    The last time I listened to music was The Specials & Madness….. Gangsters & House of Fun after that it was Erasure & The Pet Shop Boys……before I spent a couple of years in Saltcoats listening to Ultrasonic (& drinking loads of water) my music tastes aren’t up to much

     

     

    Margaret ….. Olive branch ?????

     

     

    I responded you initiated…. And as for olive branches it’s a blog but not sure what satifisafaction you get with keep typing my name, I was blotto last week, if you think re-typing my name makes you smart batter in, it matters not a not too me, maybe one day you might be brave enough to type your own name :-)

  15. Dont believe you act like a catholic you fucks,,,,,,,,,

     

     

    Just act like it.

     

     

    Thats the problem, all you catholics act like you believe.

     

     

    Just act like a catholic, just do that. half you fuckers do that we all good.

     

     

    Belief without action is pointless,

     

     

    Just like religion

     

     

    Belief without action is pointless,

     

     

    watch for the abuse, cos all that belief……
