Dedryck after his MVP performance and Craig

1282

Appropriate appreciation is due to Dedryk Boyata for his MVP performance on Wednesday. He scored the goal that won the points, could have scored more and made the most impressive defensive intervention of the game.

If scouts were in the Celtic Park stand watching, he did all he could to entice an offer, but a sample size of one game is not enough to validate a change in form for me.

Brendan has a big selection decision to make for Hearts on Sunday. You could argue he’s got the best from Patrick Roberts by bringing him on as a substitute in Celtic’s last four games, the most recent three of which the player considerably lifted the Celtic performance. Patrick will be wondering what he needs to do to get a start.

Chelsea want to sign Craig Gordon? No surprise there, they did sign Magnus Hedman a year after he left Celtic, after all. Craig is playing well and a reliable cog in an effective defensive wheel. But you know me. This far off the qualifiers, it’s all about the price as far as I’m concerned.

Everyone has a price, to think otherwise is to deny the future exists.

    16 Roads, how are you bruv, still lording it over your Island. Yeeeeeeesssss.

     

     

    Hope you were not too upset by my last post to TSD. I despised him when he was a regular, I despise him now.

     

     

    Are you going to Lisbon?

     

     

    Apologies to the blog while my last post remains. I hope the Mods leave it a while before the cerds come oot………………………:_)

    Sunday is judgement day, Ronny was doing great then you joined in with the praise, surely you can’t jinx Brendan as well :-)

     

     

    Hope you have a great wee trip on Sunday …..

  3. Quite an interesting sequence of games coming up in the ole SPL. Over the next 8 days we have –

     

    Motherwell v The Rangers

     

    Celtic v Hearts

     

    Celic v Aberdeen

     

    Hearts v The Rangers

     

     

    Current points Celtic 61, Aberdeen 40, The Rangers 39, Hearts 31

     

    Points this time next week? Celtic 67 (woo-hoo!), Aberdeen 40, The Rangers 40, Hearts 34

     

     

    Mind the Canyon ;-)

  4. For those that have not used Celtic in the predictor….. Sunday must be so enticing to use that Joker.

     

     

    The guy Cathro is trying to get them to be offensive, both full backs forward when winning in a tight Cup Tie, respect the guy for doing so……If. :))

     

     

    Hearts can’t handle 3 games in 1 week. :D

    Cannae get out tomorrow.

     

    See you in Dingwall at Easter.

     

    Colin runs a good establishment at the tap of Byres Road. Oran Mor cost £ 6m to buy and build. Awrite if you can afford it. :)

  10. For the avoidance of doubt in future Aeroplanes will no longer crash, they will instead have “unforeseen air to ground interaction”

     

     

    Trains will no longer be late they will have “scheduling conflicts”.

     

     

    People will no longer have treatment options, they will have resource implications.

     

     

    We have entered the “post Beveridge” world.

    Are you in Las Americas ? If so where are u staying ? Been in Dubliner often , enjoy !

  12. A Ceiler Gonof Rust on

    I hope that Craig Gordon is still our goalkeeper on Wednesday morning no matter how much money the London huns throw at him. He’s been a brilliant free asset and he’s a world class goalkeeper despite his ups and downs.

     

     

    We need proven quality between the posts and its unlikely 3 Million will not get us that.

     

     

    I want stability, I want us to build and retain quality. I’m sick of seeing us buy and sell the type of player that can take us where we want t be. How many times will we buy and sell the likes of Wanyama, Forster, Van Dyke? Lets keep them and play in Europe.

     

     

    We have some cash in the bank, I’m led to believe.

     

     

    We Are Celtic.

  13. ACGR,

     

    Hope the Mods are on holiday,that way your earlier post can stay

     

    on for some time,it certainly deserves to

    The day you backed Ronny I knew there was something wrong :-)

     

     

    In the end you were correct even though you jumped ship then back again, I have bookmarked your comments (that’s a joke as it takes me all my time to post)

     

     

    Yet again, good call with your horse at Dundalk tonight, am a rubbish gambler so 16/1 each way isn’t worth my 50p each way ……

     

     

    By the way part from the Celtic stuff, I enjoy your horsey knowledge, if you look at Fleagles list I try my best not to gamble but I love my horses, and enjoy every punter that gets a wee return from your tips

     

     

    Enjoy your day at Celtic Park on Sunday

  15. A Ceiler Gonof Rust on

    Jimbo, you know that’s not true. We’ve met before, and I’m pretty sure we had drams together too, inside and outside of bar67.

     

     

    Jamesgang, you have a big spoon.

     

     

     

    No a euphemism BTW………:_)

    The only source for all the Craig Gordon stuff has been that bastion of truth SSN.

     

     

    Brendan has said he wants to keep his squad together, if any of the players want to leave it is their choice.

     

     

    Rapacious PLC notwithstanding.

    Sunday should be good,have enjoyed this season so far

     

    I would imagine the atmosphere will be good on Sunday

     

    The possibility of beating records set by the Lisbon Lions doesnt come around that often

     

     

    Not counting chickens yet though…every game from now on is a cup final.The league is in the bag…but surely every team wants to be the team to beat the team that no one can beat !!!

  18. A Ceiler Gonof Rust on

    BRTH, one more potential victim for you re Lisbon.

     

     

    Sometime poster and often lurker Graffitionthewall, my pal Graff is looking for detail on what you have left hotel wise. I’ll be seeing tomorrow in the City De La Fun but if you have some rooms it the hotels you’re using then drop me a text.

     

     

    I’ve already told him to bring his sclaffbaw shoes.

    Owen, I know most of this is made up pish by our pathetic excuses for journalists but all I’m saying is that I hope CG remains our goalkeeper. I think he can get better and better under BR.

     

     

    My main point is that I’m sick to my back teeth being told we’re building for the future while we continually sell off the jewels. We’ve been building for ever.

     

     

    Say hello to your wee sis and give wee brig a hug from me. Hope they are both on top form.

    Its a private joke between me and gerryfaethebrig

     

     

    No one gives Ronny a hard time anymore.

     

     

    Its Brendans gig now……and you know what …I think he is doing ok

    “………..Craig’s very much a part of what I’m doing here.

     

     

    “You can see how calm he is. He is 34 years old, he can go on for a number of years and be a real pillar of this team.

     

     

    “Would Chelsea be wasting their time? Yes, of course. If it is the case they are interested, we don’t want to sell him.

     

     

    “His contract is up at the end of the season, but the club have an option. Selling Craig is not something we would even consider. He is someone I want to lock down for during my time here.

     

     

    “He’s a good guy, he’s very happy in his life and he’s enjoying playing this style of football. It’s given him a real edge to his game.”

    Apologies for bringing Ronny onto the blog but it was definitely just a wee friendly dig at WITS….. not one bit of malice intended and am sure WITS knows that….. this blog is a special place but even daft Celtic fans trying f to be facetious sounds bad (that’s me)
