Penny for the thoughts of Erik Sviatchenko on Saturday as he watched the defence he’ll soon become part of. Players were skipping past Jozo Simunovic while we had Keystone Cops defending from Efe at a corner kick (our problems here are clearly not resolved).
St Johnstone failed to score during their previous five games but would have scored more against a generous Celtic were it not for some fine work by Craig Gordon.
Individual errors aside, there are aspects of our shape I’m not happy with. In previous times you wouldn’t know if the Celtic defence and keeper were having a good game, they were so well protected. In the Premiership, this makes for entertaining football as we march to the title, but at a higher level we’ll be ripped open.
There’s not a proper defensive midfielder at the club. If we’re going to keep to this shape, we’ll need one before August.

The st Johnstone boy has agreed terms with Sevco it’s the fact that StJohnstone have never accepted a bid for his services that’s an issue.
Boring best bloody album covers…gies a brekk!
G67- correct,absolutely pointless taking a guy on loan,which we have no intention of signing,a waste of time and money,I thought PL’a son worked at CP?
Why sign a loan player who will never sign long term. Why Have a youth set-up? Why have scouts? Just wait till Man city want to get one of their players fit/in shop window

Chortle – very good.
Album covers good – Who’s Next, AWB, Rod the Mod, Atlantic Crossing (did a pencil drawing of this during Higher Art, took about a month. I still have it and it still looks good.
album covers bad – Who, live at Leeds and Sgt Peppers (seem to be in a minority of one these days, but I hate the spouse gits, and grew titled of the ad nausea my comments about how good it was)
I think Hamilton Accies have been waiting to give the SFA a custard pie by the look of things.

Seems bizarre that they took so long to make this announcement. Maybe they were giving the SFA time to call them to let them know their venue had been selected? Dunno…
Mullet and CO2 has he agreed to go to Sevco. well as somebody pointed out last week,why would a Celtic Fan want to play for them,
Another loanee from Man City what’s the point if we have no chance of a permanent move for a so-called up and coming star. Celtic do not need this lad we have no shortage of good young players at the club.
NatKnow-I spoke to the EK chairman on Thursday,they have been treated very shabbily,the owners have fired a letter to the SFA ,complaining about the situation. TBB is close to the EK guys and might know more. HH
KEVINLASVEGAS,
I think we should by Mick O and loan him to Falkirk for the rest of the season

Sadly I’m not in the least surprised to hear that. I’ve said before – the SFA are accountable to no-one except themselves. Scottish Football needs to dismantle this association and start from scratch. Not sure how that could be done but as far as I’m concerned it’s the only way.
Boyd says Huns are in a good financial position, honest bust oot laughing………
Strange story in the Irish indo today
Dermot Keely of Dundalk turned down Celtic in 79 because we asked him to give up his passport, sell his house in Dublin and shave his beard as it would attract the attention of referees!
He stayed where he was….
As a former member of the FA, I believe that the SFA follow due process at all tines
Kris not Tom I should add….
NatKnow-I called them arrogant amateurs last week,that sums them up IMO,watch them try to bully Hamilton into submission here,to try and save face HH
Your man Dick on Radio Scotland being blivitious in his praise the hard bargaining prowess shown by the utterly utterly new club in its tranfraud policy.

The question of defensive shape, doesn’t lie so much with the 4-2-3-1 formation, it’s more to do with personnel.
Celtic would need to recruit very carefully.
If the young lad on his way back to Croatia has failed to show himself to be any better than what we currently have, then ultimately we have conducted ourselves in the correct manner.
At 23 Bitton is still a young player. He still has areas for development. Good proper coaching would allow him to make the position his own.
Against Molde in Norway, he displayed naivety at their first goal. Boyata played a poor pass wide, conceding possession, however it was Bitton as a supposed defensive midfielder that failed to show the Molde player down the line. Instead he committed himself, offered a weak tackle and allowed their player to advance infield.
He needs to, and has the ability to improve his defensive work. Read the play. Show opponents down the outside, to areas where they can’t hurt us….. Basic things. Coach him well, and he will be our answer.

Glad youre on. Loved your Bellarmine story.
I stayed in Priesthill. No matter which way you went to school you had to go through some other gangs territory. Character building.
I have to say considering how mental our school was, Peter Lawell done brilliant to get out of it and achieve what he did.
P.S. L.D. back playing being selected from development squad and playing well.

You’re on the money. I’d add unaccountable, self-serving, and petty. Celtic’s experience of them over the years demonstrates how unfit they are to govern the game.

Kris Boys is being groomed by BBC as another go-to rent-a-quote hun. He’ll be a regular on radio/TV as his playing career ramps down. They look after their own.
Scrolling back…

Something in the offing. Can’t help thinking they might give up some of the less controversial legacy issues and this is a smokescreen.

Want them back. …….how can you return to somewhere you have never been. Remember the Mantra….same flies ,different shite.
HH all. What a site
This tie is about making as much dosh as poss…..if EK are in agreement about staging the game at CELTIC PARK problem solved…..a fiver a ticket would guarantee a bumper crowd………makes sense…….NO TO THE BIGOTDOME
NatKnow
Very True and i was going to argue about his intelligence but Alex Rae BFDJ and a few other manage to do it. So your probably right.
I think the way the sfa manage Celtic, is just contempt not miss managed just no time for us. But we just sit on our hands.

NATKNOW,
I don’t think Boyd is smart enough to be a pundit, but then again very few of them are. But just by having one look at Boyd you can see it in his face.
George Bush, same thing

Compare, and thank God you were born a Celt !

When I saw Kris Boyd on Sportscene, he was OK. He was certainly less anti-Celtic than most of the pundits on there …..including some of those from a Celtic background.
From where cometh the information that O`Halloran has agreed terms with Sevco?

There was a BBC feature about EK manager driving his taxi along passed Ibrox.
It seemed a strange route from EK to Hampden.
Perhaps, this will be used by SFA to show that Ibrox is next best venue.

I think Soda was one of the extended McCann family. He was good friends with my sister. The graffiti somes up the school. Thanks for that gave me a good chuckle. Seriously when I was there the pupils went on strike not the teachers. You used to think up mad excuses just to walk out. I remember once we walked out because we didn’t want RE. Teachers just let us go, probably laughing their heads off at us, the thing is there was never any consequences. Except long term of course when you realised you missed half your education. Hail Hail
