This is the last day to complete our survey into who we, the Celtic community, are, our thoughts, values and where we came from. It’s a short, anonymous, survey, with questions on the Living Wage, the Offensive Behaviour Act, Resolution 12 and other topics, including your view on last week’s referendum.
Thousands of people have already taken part so we will have an excellent insight into what the Celtic community looks like in 2014. If you’ve not already participated, you can let your voice be heard here.
A European academic has compiled the survey and we’ll publish findings shortly.
It’s refreshing to hear a manager be frank about a sporting forgone conclusion, as Ronny did yesterday, “we are definitely going to win the league”. More importantly, he added “The goal is the treble”.
For reasons which have never been evident, apart from Jock Stein’s first five seasons, and a gloriously sunny day in 1957, Celtic have underachieved on a massive scale in the League Cup, a trophy we haven’t won in the last five seasons.
It’s maybe been seen as too much of a poor-relation when the team have higher targets in mind, but it’s more accurate to say we have been an ill-prepared soft touch since Jock’s five-in-a-row came to an end. Superior performances in the Scottish Cup suggest there is more than the randomness of cup football at play in the League trophy.
I never understood the criticisms of Neil Lennon for his ‘failure’ to win the treble. We achieved this feat only three times in our history. Even when we won the league, the vast majority of times we failed to win both cups was as a result of defeat to someone other than Rangers, so their liquidation in 2012 should not affect the trend.
Ronny is three games away from his first trophy as a Celtic manager; he will be hot favourite for each of them. On paper, the Scottish Cup will present no more danger, but winning two cups takes a level of consistency that even the great [and consistent]Celtic teams struggled to achieve.
Before we consider the treble we need to find consistency in the league and Europa League, starting with wins and clean sheets against St Mirren and Dinamo Zagreb. If we can do this, this could yet be a memorable season.
Remember the survey closes tonight!

Weefra HH praying to Wee Oscar.
Gordy64, thanks for the Orange Juice track, Felicity. A very underrated song.
Phyllis, John Cushley’s parents also lodged some of Celtic’s younger players in the eighties. John, I’m sure, became our education officer once he retired from teaching. Brain & brawn he was.
Animal House is on STV the now, what a film. Very funny and great soundtrack.
Robert Cray is part of the band called Otis Day and the Knights in the film.
The Doug Neidermeyer character is referred to as a sneaky little s***. Neidermeyer, possibly another name for sleekit Sally
Sipsini…and Pog….cheers and lol…

Be very aware of that. D had a terrible infection after her accident, the hospital never cleaned her wound properly. Get it seen to asap. Good luck kiddo. KTF. Sometimes I know it’s difficult.
Weefra HH praying to Wee Oscar.
Gordy, certainly not the former hun & current diet, Danny Wilson, who could ever be described as brilliant.
gordybhoy
Ach, I know. I just like to keep the mob handed on their toes. Hahahaha.

Brothers & Sisters by Twin Atlantic is the best song I have heard for years. My son, a Biffy Clyro freak, got me into them. Their album blew me away.
I was a bit tired and emotional last weekend
after the referendum result however feeling much more
positive about the struggle ahead.
Onwards and upwards.
The one constant in all our life’s is Celtic.
Watching Jools Holland,Marianne Faithful singing As Tears Go By,
She is getting very old
Sure arent we all

You on ?
Just there few weeks ago.. We stayed at la quinta inn brooklyn. Its in a nice area called park slope that has a strip of places to eat drink etc
Train station only a 5min walk.. Get the f train into manhatten in about 10mins .
We were searching for ages and finally choose that, happy with it.. We were there for 6days, if your there a short time manhatten may suit better.
Places to eat- hundreds but i highly recommend bamontes in williamsburg.. If you like italian this place is great.. If you like sopranos this is closest you’ll get to being in it. Great place. Hope you go there.
som mes que un club

Thanks for that and to HT and DD. Information has been provided and he can choose where he wants to go.
I see wee hun Amy McDonalld on now,
wee story about her,know the bhoys who done work on her Audi,
took it for a test drive and she had her own CD in the player,
I told them they should have replaced it with CATB
Ronny has said he wanted players in with pace, half decent players with pace cost money, money that we won’t spend sadly.
HH
TET,
don’t exactly see much pace in the team just now,
and they certainly don’t do anything very quickly,
why have 3 passes when you can have 15
TET
My mate is the fastest guy in Clydebank running fae the Polis. Mind you, he is 50 and canny kick a baw.
If nothing else the CW games and the Ryder Cup
proves we can put on a show if we try.
Wish we could exert the same resources and energy
into ending poverty.
Mr Nils Rogers now on bbc1.
G64
What day in June? Am the 5th.

Is he Mark Burchill :-)
Delaney’s, ha ha. Its no Cokey is it?
TET, a couple of players with similar pace to Didier Agathe and a bit more ability would be more than welcome.
g64
It sort of goes to prove that those that came in werny Ronny’s choice, he even admitted to never seeing Tonev play.
Ach well , he has a dream job.
HH
…………………………
DD
He will fit in well then >}

Gordon64
Great shout bud. Scottish food banks and Scottish child poverty are our nation’s disgrace.
DD
I am a year less a week ahead of you,12th for me,
went to Turkey for my birthday and went out in a Celtic onesie for my birthday dinner,
got a few free drinks on the back of it
Dallas
Sadly we won’t spend the cash.
No askin to break the bank, but Ronny is not getting what he asked for, he is hamstrung afore he starts, add this to his round pegs and square holes, a feckin hard job he has on his hands.
They will be fit tho >}
HH
DD,
The Ryder cup gala concert take you back…I was know to frequent the boulevard and the oasis back then…birds and booze…magic.
Sipsini, I had a look at that thread on hunmedia. Deary me, they really are an “inclusive” bunch over there.
Are you at the game next Thursday?
I’m staying in Glasgow after the match and am planning a few post match swallies. So for it’s me, and err me. But I’m sure others will come when they know you said you were buying the bar.
Would take the Diets’ Danny Wilson for us in a heartbeat!
Once VVD and Jason move on, DW would suit us well.
EC67
sipsini,
none of those places open anymore,
used to go there too although I was more a Teejays
or Toffs kind of bhoy
Sipsini, the kind of birds you like, you’d need the booze first.
Raise her game ya slack jawed faggot:_)
M7
Haha. Naw he did play fitba for the Barlinnie X1 though.
Dallas
Cokey runs from no one. Especially Polis and huns. ;))

Bankie Gemini Tims are the best type of people. ;))
Was at Gleneagles yesteday and it was as far
from being an ethnically mixed place
as you could ever see.
Rich, middle aged white people everywhere.
Nae wunder Tiger Woods gave up the ghost.
DD
aye next year we can have a week of celebration,
we can give the H and B and the Hibs club a right good turn over the bar
Sipsini
Mango is our hotspot now. Like G64, I was a TeeJays/Shamrock man.
TET, fancy a slaffaboot at Condado in the week 11th – 18th October?
I’m told it’s a great track and reasonably priced. All my freebies at HDA have run oot:-((
Over for the week with friends, my pal is a big polis. You can get in about him, ha ha.
M
Where is Condado ?
