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!

The Live Updates article will be up at 12:!5, could someone leave a note here?
Thanks.
Celtic first, Celtic last, celtic overall!
In saying that, how many times can one club shite on you?
My blind faith is bordering on damaging Celtic.
Has anyone tried to calculate what the benefits of purchasing a season ticket up front actually are? Is there any benefit by the time you apply “buy one get one free” offers.
Do Celtic value you more if you do not pledge your money upfront?
Does the paradise Windfall only take place when Celtic have a big crowd? (Less chance to win)
Does the catering area at my section only open when there are big queues expected? ( I’m sure they would make profits due to the excessive pricing)
Thanks Celtic, I will always love you but I am now going to remove
Myself and Partner from home cup scheme.

Is golf pretentious? – discuss

I agree the defence is a concern and until the situation is resolved we are likely to drop silly points throughout the season.
The two full-backs need a few weeks rest as they haven’t had a break over the summer, but we are short of cover at the moment because of injuries. I thought Izzy was man-of-the-match against Hearts because of his attacking play, but he and Ambrose are making needless defensive mistakes because of fatigue.
The young boy Denayer is settling in, but is also prone to lapses in concentration.
Van Dijk strolls around the wrong areas of the pitch like he owns the place – which he clearly doesn’t given the needless penalty conceded the other night, and giving Goodwillie two yards of space in the box to score with an easy header the other week.
As I said yesterday, he has deteriorated into Bougherra over the summer. Van Dijk needs to get his focus back. The sooner the better.
Is golf still tangled up in backwards secret fraternity’s or am I naive?

Agree, with most of that.
What I expect to happen though is that the system will beat some vastly inferior teams.
Posters on a Celtic site saying they’d rather watch the golf than Celtic.
Dearie me.
Right off to Paisley.

LENNONSPASSION
Correct.
The article suggests that Celtic are successfully pursuing a policy of pissing off the support.
Utter nonsense.
They are pissing off the support because they think the support can’t be pissed off.
Think about how Labour pissed off their core support ten years ago in Scotland particularly. Never happen,everyone thought.
No,you’re right. It’s not a policy designed to piss us off. Its a policy which is guaranteed to piss us off.
And the results are there for all to see.
Love the GOLF…………………..
Especially the Ryder Cup…………………

the wee hoops ( st ants ) at home to ardrossan in the first round of the scottish today
################################
Come on St Anthony’s get right in about them.
Ah Ardrossan, small protest at the rumours of the imminent opening of an Irish theme pub some years ago, it never got off the ground.
Now closed public house.. “Lord Carson’s”
And the sign “Welcome to Loyalist Ardrossan” hung across the very wide Glasgow Street, during an flute band competition.
Which was one of my proudest moments in having it removed, I’ll tell the story one day.
Is it offensive I was asked, it’s offending me I replied..!
Ayrshire is Green and White, Ardrossan, well it is to a degree, one of the richest parishes in the Diocese.

I see the Great Desmondo was at Gleneagles yesterday.
No doubt he is still there.
Any chance of him being in Paisley today?
It’s only a short hop by helicopter to Glesga airport after all.

Waiting for the golf Foursomes teams for the afternoon session.
Really want the Scottish Celtic fan to be paired with the world number one.
What a team that would be!

Very persuasive assessment.
Logical thought.
Cannae beat it.
Did my usual Saturday morning walk to Linn Cemetary. Came across graffiti on the pavements of Drakemyre…five or six swastikas in chalk. Whats going on here? After last weeks facist bigotfest at GS it seems the Klan (rule britannia, poppy day and all that) are answering the call of their deepest instincts in desperation, realising their bastions are crumbling aroung them as we speak.

That made me laugh. Was he in the Maze in ’83? I’d just have used the back door but a man needs a hobby :)

Big decision today.
Watch Celtic win?
Watch Celtic lose?
Watch Celtic draw?
I’d love to watch Celtic with confidence.

PS QTo No voters. After last week of THE VOW is there a single one of you having the slightest doubt whether you did the right thing? (Probably a rhetorical question)
Golf or Celtic…mmmmm
