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.

  1. Dallas Dallas where the heck is Dallas on

    Celtic underground twitter has copied some tweets from Killie fans saying how impressed with Kirs Ajer so far , saying he is a class act.

     

     

    Gerry at 8.16, thank you for your kind comment.

     

     

    Delaney’s, good news your mum is recovering .

     

     

    Bobby Murdoch, St Anthony at Celtic Underground has an article on the website about Pat Stanton’s debut for us against what was Rangers in 1976 .

  2. Tonyrome,

     

     

    Very poignant. I might add that to my list of possibles, if you don’t mind.

     

     

    My cousin died earlier this year, a bit of a sad guy/occasion, but he had asked his sister to ensure the colours on the day were not black (and preferably green) and the music was ‘happy’.

     

     

    Got me thinking about my own mortality. Plus, I’ve been to loads of funerals where I thought that, yes, it’s sad that the person is gone, but they were such a positive person that this should be a celebration!!

     

     

    Why not exit the funeral with a bit of a lift?

     

     

    Shit – is this a crap topic for a Saturday night?

    P67 has a lot to answer for !!!!!!!

     

     

    At least Dallas is the good guy out if the 3 of us

     

     

    Well done with Sours the day, did you joker them ?

  4. Sandman

     

     

    Great volume of work from an actor who I followed closely since I saw Midnight Express as a 15 year old. Would loved to have shared a beer and doobie wi John Hurt RIP.

  5. Gerry, agree about Dallas but don’t do yourself down! :-)

     

     

    No joker but happy with 4.

     

     

    Saving the 2nd joker to stop me being last!!!

     

     

    How did your pick do?

    Dallas 10.08pm

     

     

    If it wasn’t for you I would never remember any game I attended, especially the Beech End at Pittodrie :-)

    Roy, thanks for the photo of ‘chicken’ George (as some our support called him) scoring against Hearts.

     

     

    Is that from the game on the 1st of April 1981 when the Jungle sung April Fools to the Hearts team?

  8. Reds vs Blues.

     

    I had the dubious privilege of going to the same school, at the same time, as Eamonn Holmes (yes he loved himself then, yes he was a talent free zone then). All the boys followed Man Utd or Liverpool, with a hardcore of Celtic fans, and there was no sense of sectarian loyalty in that. This was replicated across Belfast, bar the Celtic bit, obviously.

     

    Also at the school was Henry McDonald, who later went on to become the Guardian’s Official Stickie Irish correspondent. I met him a few years ago and over a few ales we talked about Cliftonville before he said he was one of the few Everton fans in Belfast, and that there was only one supporters club. The interesting thing being that Nigel Dodds, the DUP MP was a member, as well as a few former (though perhaps then, current) Provos, who would all happily meet up once a month to huddle together and bemoan the Red tide of the Scouse/Mancs loving locals.

    I started thinking about it after my wee ma passed 6 years ago.

     

     

    Been through a catalogue of stuff since then I think I will just make a cd for them to play at the time and anyone who wants to say something (hopefully nice) about me can.

     

     

    But your right it’s a shit topic.

     

     

    So let me leave you with this wee smiley ditty.

  10. Match the fine for Palestine. £176,000 raised by the Green Brigade will be handed over tomorrow on the Celtic Way at 12.00. A truly remarkable achievement. Hh

    Gerry and Art of War, thank you.

     

     

    One of the more enjoyable things in our workplace is the silence of the sevs.

  12. Just in from seeing Trainspotting 2

     

     

    Thought it was a wonderful film

     

     

    There is one scene in that is absolutely hilarious

     

     

    Anyone on here who has seen it will know what scene I’m talking about

     

     

    B-)

    When I asked my mam today, if she wanted juice or anything brought up tomorrow?

     

    She replied, “Naw son, just tell me that my Bonny Bhoys have beaten that Embra mob.” :)

    Took the London Vermin so another 4 goals, but it won’t last……

     

     

    You made it personally so as long as I beat your good self I will treat that as a success

     

     

    (Remember that was your email) :-)

  15. Dallas Dallas where the heck is Dallas on

    Roy , thanks .

     

     

    It was a cracking night with April Fools chant rounding it off nicely.

    The Scott Arms was across the road from where I stayed in Great Barr but it wasn’t a regular haunt of mine. I wasn’t at Brum’s centenary game but I always remember when I first got to Birmingham how despised the huns were after their visit to Brum when surprise, surprise they wrecked the town.

    A Colemanballs from this weeks Private Eye. The only “newspaper” I read.

     

    Seriously Trumps diary Funniest thing Ive read in a while. A must read.

     

    Been pishing masel all day.

  18. Clogher I shall remember your uncle Rod in my prayers.

     

     

    Almore curious, if Celtic were their 2nd Scottish team who were first?

     

    Question: Can anyone name any Irish outfield player in the last 70 years that Celtic signed that made it at Celtic? My recollection is the nearest was Liam Miller and he didn’t make it. I believe Celtic FC were under the impression that any young Irish star would sign for Celtic. That was never going to be the case, possibly in Donegal and Sligo, but no where else. We even missed out in Seamus Coleman. I believe Mike Conroy done a good job in Cork and Waterford. KTF Cathach

    Those St Malachys Boys were always crazy mixed up kids (Celtic supporters excepted natch).
