Commons needed for busy February

963

Neil Lennon’s comments that he will need to sell at Bolton Wanderers before making a bid for Kris Commons, or anyone else, are welcome.  Celtic have four important games in the four weeks after this transfer window closes: home and away to Inter Milan, Aberdeen in the league, and a League Cup semi-final against newco Rangers.  Commons will be vital for some, if not all of these games.

Inter will play on the front foot and Aberdeen have the players to take the game to us, as they did in the Scottish Cup at Celtic Park last season, but I expect newco to defend their 18 yard line in numbers, a bit like Ross County did last week, a scenario which will require someone with Commons’ craft.

Neil Warnock’s sacking at Crystal Palace was good news, as he wanted Commons, had money to spend and could offer the allure of top-flight football.  Neil Lennon would be able to offer Commons familiarity, but with Bolton spending a total of £300k in the summer, their chances of being able to afford a bid for Commons that would raise Celtic’s interest are limited.

    Who?

     

     

    The away support?

     

     

    The same support that gave him a resounding endorsement at East End Park?

     

     

    Me?

     

     

    I understood that he was a chump in his third season in charge, then he somehow contrived to squander that seven point lead.

     

     

    He left because he wanted to leave.

     

     

    It was his own decision.

     

     

    Turgid brand of football, but you can forgive that so long as it brings success.

     

     

    Winning is everything, regardless.

     

     

    Sorry.

    The away support are the best Celtic fans there are. If you cnnot remember some of the ridiculous comments on here re: WGS despite his success then I can;t help.

     

     

    Sorry.

  3. Winning Captains,

     

    Although I have already contributed towards the Sunday Herald article I believe it would have much greater impact in an English Sunday where it could draw much wider attention and not simply be dismissed by the SMSM. Your and others efforts are nevertheless very much appreciated, and as long as the message gets into the public domain somehow, that achieves the objective. Thanks again.

    I was putting a case up for Gordon Strachan as a prime example of a guy who overcame a cheating Huns team and won three in a row.Doesn’t matter what years it was.

     

    They have always been cheating.

     

    Instead of gloating about the three in a row, he was banging on about getting the scum back in the picture.Massive, cringeworthy, crawling to the Huns.

    You said your dad played for Celtic and was transferred to Wallsall. I have a database of UK transfers and looked up his stats.

     

     

    Quite an accolade fella. Wish I could say that ma Da played fir the tic.

    Imagine the reaction on here if WGS had stayed another season, I mean 3 out of 4 titles surely that deserves universal backing from the greatest fans in the world, I keed of course

    Tricoloured Ribbon, you are so right mate.

     

    They,ve always feckin cheated my earliest recall is 1963 the Scottish Cup Final which started of with the famous haun shake wi Tiny Wharton.

     

    It went on all through the 60’s & has never stopped.

    Anyone watch the English football highlights ?

     

     

    Lee Naylor still playing for Derby County.

     

     

    Sammi on for WBA. The Baggies looked like the unhappiest outfit ever.

    Give Ronny time and support in the transfer market. It’s the best way forward. Otherwise it’ll be 2 steps back.

    Indulged he was. Lucky at times, but luck only lasts for so long.

     

    To squander that lead to a Mickey Mouse hun outfit beggars belief.Kept the life support machine on for four more years.

     

    Thanks for the memories Strachan, I wish you well for the future.

    The reception to Strachan’s arrival, huh ?

     

     

    Sort of similar to the reaction to Craig Gordon’s.

  13. Aiden Bhoy,

     

     

    Agree. As I advised before it would not happen as it is not Lawwells way of doing business.

     

     

    Fergus would not have missed them.

     

     

    Other clubs such as Dundee Utd, Aberdeen are looking for some leadership from Celtic. At least Turnbull Hutton stood up for all of the last time.

     

     

    Imagine a club which entered administration and was subsequently liquidated will be back as a serious challenger next season. Celtic have allowed it to happen and Doncaster was preparing the doomsday scenario if Ashley doesn’t play ball on a commercial settlement for the onerous contract.

     

     

    Ashley is a businessman and expect him and King to reach some form of settlement.

     

     

    We only have ourselves to blame.

    No matter what he wins – the treble or indeed if he won all 4 competitions we are still in, there will be posters on here saying Deila Out.

    Not quite. They’ll be saying “Delia out”!

    I mentioned Craig Gordon as worth looking at on here after reading an article in the Guardian or Telegraph or something. It got a few laughs and nothing more. Perhaps understandable given how long he was out the game. Yet here we are with (arguably) a better goalie than the previous incumbent. Which is the reason why I’m happy to leave it to the pros!

  16. The “get Ronny out” mob are not only hampering our manager.

     

     

    They are tarnishing our reputation as a one of the best supports on the planet.

     

     

    Hail Hail.

    BCW – The Celtic support cheered and applauded Strachan outside Celtic Park.

     

     

    He was more than welcomed.

     

     

    Don’t let anyone tell you any different.

    From Celtic’s birth mate.

     

    It is to the credit of all Celtic’s managers that they have managed to secure success in the face of Scottish rotten Masonic lodges.

     

    Oh, and the cheating for years and years.

     

    Ye’ll get some halfwit coming on here though telling ye things have changed.

     

    Never in Scotland.Rotten with Masonry and always be.

    Really can’t believe we are 3 years down the line and not a thing appears to have been learned in Scottish football.

  22. friesdorfer

     

     

    Thanks for that. We will certainly be striving to reach as wide an audience as possible and the ad in the Sunday Herald is just one part of the new plan. We should make sure that the scandal unfolding in Scottish football reaches as many people as possible – and not just in the UK.

    Indulged by whom? Supported by some – never accepted by others. Despite his results.

     

     

    Fortunately he will be remembered for the silverware he delivered.

     

     

    Anyway – I think you;re simply reinforcing my point. Ronny Deila’s treatment reminds me of Gordon Strachan’s – he will not be accepted by some no matter what he produces.

    By the way,

     

    Kev j has been ridiculed by a lot on here.

     

    He is on the button in a helluva lot he says.

    Wouldn’t be too far away from you, about 2.1/5 hours, but am up high in the mountains, a wee village called Cortes de Baza, just outside it, in a cave house, it’s warm inside, without a fire on, it’s about 20 deg, with a fire on, warm…. seriously cold in the winter, seriously hot in the summer, we are higher than Ben Nevis, just over 1000 mts.

     

     

    Anyways, I think we will win the league, jeezo, it should be a skoosh, but….and always the but, I don’t blame the coach, I blame the cretin for putting in the job in the first place.

    Read back through all the impassioned posts of tonight.

     

     

    Ourselves. Alone.

     

     

    Think about it. Stay united. We have have more than enough enemies from outwith.

     

     

    KTF.
