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. Hi Ghuys.. Last Post, Honest.

     

    Just a reminder..

     

    “At the Champions League match with Hapoel Beer Sheva on 17 August 2016, the Green Brigade and fans throughout Celtic Park flew the flag for Palestine. This act of solidarity has earned Celtic respect and acclaim throughout the world. It has also attracted a disciplinary charge from UEFA, which deems the Palestinian flag to be an ‘illicit banner’.

     

    In response to this petty and politically partisan act by European football’s governing body we are determined to make a positive contribution to the game and today launch a campaign to #matchthefineforpalestine. We aim to raise £15,000* which will be split 50/50 between Medical Aid Palestine (MAP) and to the Lajee Centre, a Palestinian creative cultural children’s centre in Aida Refugee Camp, Bethlehem”.

     

    We all know that we, the Celtic Supporters, raised 10 times this amount.

     

    The presentation of the cheque, along with some guest speakers, will be made on Sunday at 12.00 before the game with Hearts on the Celtic Way.

     

    Come along, hear the story and be part of the celebration that makes us so different from any Supporters in the World.

     

    Lets take some credit and enjoy the moment

     

    Hail Hail.

    The Celtic end every fan thought they were getting in for heehaw as the changed the turnstiles from the bottom of the hill up to the top, a total joke !

     

     

    We sneaked in, then realised we had already bought a ticket !

  3. Haven’t read back, Kris Ajer is getting some fantastic reviews for his performances for Kilmarnock.

  4. Interesting that Boyata has come back into the fold recently. Sviatchenko was far from convincing at Poundland. Is Brendan sending a message?

    I worked in the Shetlands during the 1994 World Cup.

     

     

    I was surprised to be attacked (and my work m8) by 2 Orange Liverpool Supporters.

     

     

    Of all places.

     

     

    CELTIC.

    Thanks for that memory of one of Motowns greats …which led me to think of “tears of a clown ..which led me to a cover “The Beat ” tears of a clown and mirror in the bathroom

     

    Cheers.

     

     

    Good nite and god bless .

  9. Thanks to everyone for the thoughts/prayers for Rod over in St Margaret’s, Clydebank.

    Re Liam Whelan,

     

     

    I’m delighted to read that you have such close ties with Cabra :)… Liam played football with Mrs Clogher’s father. If I remember correctly they met a couple of weeks before the Munich Air Disaster in Dublin.

     

     

    Nite all.

  10. Some comments from Twitter re Ajer,

    Aiden McAnespie got me from the Wayside to the Fountain as a Bhoy right through Whinhall ….. great memories apart from living in Davidson Street for a number of years :-)

  12. Goodnight Celts.

     

    I’m going to bed looking forward to our match v Hearts tomorrow. I know some of our Bhoys n ghirls have more to worry about but no doubt they’ll want to know the score tomorrow. It’s who we are.

     

     

    This is a fantastic time in our Celtic journey and I love that so many good days are ahead for fellow Tims…that makes this big softy cry tears of joy. There is nothing better than Tims celebrating and being happy.
