Difficult opening fixtures but no excuses

259

Away to Hearts, Hibs, Aberdeen and Newco in the first round of fixtures.  If you like your season to start with a challenge, you will be happy.  Ange Postecoglou, on the other hand, may have hoped for a more favourable start to the campaign.

No excuses, we have the resources to cope and to go on and win the league.

  1. daughter just in from being out with the recently passed driving boyfriend

     

     

    my girl has no interest what so ever in football. maybe even dislikes it because of my fixation,

     

     

    dad what does that “55” on the lamposts and the road signs mean ? is it a football thing ?

     

     

    1st rangers, 2nd rangers, business , administration, deid team sevco , liquidation, blah blah blah,

     

     

    I know that dad, everybody knows that,

     

     

    never been prouder.

    Its very very rare for someone of his age to be made seriously ill by covid .

     

     

    The pandemic is a fraud .

     

    The virus never ever justified the over-the-top restrictions and the taking away our civil liberties .

     

    How people are falling for the blatant fear mongering and government -media propaganda is a mystery.

     

    Their stated from day one aim was to vaccinate everyone the world . WHY??? For a strong flu !!!! Does’nt add up. Steer clear of the jab.

    Well, if you believe it was “strong flu” that killed tens of thousands of New Yorkers ( just to pick one City as an example ), utterly overwhelmed hospitals, undertakers, cemeteries and crematoria, and led to thousands being buried 4 deep in trenches hundreds of yards long, on an uninhabited island in Long Island Sound, then I would not like to witness your idea of a “serious” illness.

    I have five English born close cousins, who I visited in Leeds last week.

     

    I have a Cheltenham born niece and nephew.

     

    Mind you all 7 are Celtic and Scotland supporters.

     

    My lowlife comments were directed at the many EDL lowlife knuckledraggers I met in my week’s holiday in England last week. There is a huge number of neo nazis I encountered in England last week. Frightening to experience post Brexit England.

  5. Delaneys Dunky on

    Incidentally non of the Neo Nazi encounters I had were in Leeds. They are all left wing YRA men.

     

    Yorkshire Republican Army are Barmy!

     

    Lancashire has a huge rise in Neo Nazism post brexit. The holiday towns of Blackpool and Morecambe were full of English racists that are so similar to Glasgow huns.

     

    Frightening for my daughter and grandchildren to experience.

     

    English lowlife huns fae backwards towns like Blackburn and Burnley.

     

    Insult weans for wearing Scotland and Celtic shirts.

     

    Lowlife scum like their Ibrox cousins.

  6. Delaneys Dunky on

    Scotland needs to totally escape from this extreme right wing UK Government, and the Right Wing opposition Labour Party who have both encouraged the rise of Fascism in England and Wales.

     

    Wake up and smell the coffee fellow Scots.

     

    Get Independence for Scotland high on the Holyrood agenda.

     

    Much more important than any other issue we face today. Covid is yesterday’s news.

     

    Scottish Independence is the only subject for us Scots.

     

    Freedom is soon. 💪😊

    KOL rool. Amazing musical brothers.

    My song to welcome Ange Postecoglou to Celtic.

     

    This guy is gonnae smash it, as long as the board and the Celtic support back Ange 100%.

     

    Dominic McKay has hired a serious winner here.

     

    We will be playing like Bielsa’s Leeds United team by September.

     

    Postecoglou is a Bielsa disciple.

     

    Happy Age of Ange days at Celtic. 😊🍀💚💪

  9. DD,

     

     

    My daughter was also in Leeds last week. Her man ( From Ireland ) was with her They all met years ago on Camp America and made friends for life.

     

    A wonderful experience for youngsters to meet up and mix, while conducting valuable work.

     

     

    Isolationist nationalism fuels hate and division. Its there in Scotland and indeed England. Decent, switched on citizens must face down the zealots.

     

    The most obvious and horrid example when this brand of nationalism gets out if control is the rise of National Socialism.

     

    IT IS A WARNING.

     

     

    Love for ones country does not mean face painted zealots hurling abuse at other races.

     

    Apart for the flawed economic arguments, the prospect of our brightest and best youngsters leaving for a ” foreigb” land, I do not like the hate and division that so called ” independence ” will entail.

     

     

    That is why I will never vote for it.

     

     

    Cheers and HH.

  10. Nae wonder it’s called the moonhowling shift. Zoomers it seems, especially come out at night on this blog.

    I have JHB as the type who would refer to those of us who like a bet, as you might say, as ‘chumps’ despite providing evidence to the contrary.

     

     

     

     

     

     

    Anyway, how you get on against B365? I fear the worst.

     

     

     

     

     

     

    Royal Ascot very poor betting material today I think. 4:20 is a decent race but only bet if day for me is 6:10 Throne Hall, took 10/1 last night and now 7/1

     

     

     

     

     

     

    Look after yourself big guy, don’t let the CHUMPS get tae ye and BE 🍀 LUCKY

     

    ………………………..

     

    cheers SQUIRE Mate.

     

    I had Three winners at Ascot yesterday. My MAIN single Bet Won at 7/2, and a 12/1, and 1/2 Winner ( early prices).

     

    I had Two singles and a Double on the fitba…France to Win 1-0…and Portugal to Win 3-0..@ Odds of 6/1 and 9/1.

     

    As for my dispute with Bet365. I was given a ” Response” by email from a ” Third Party”, but I was out all day yesterday to get Blood Tests…and then my local pub from 11.30am to 10pm approx. Ive got a wee bit of a sore Heid this morning, so I MAY give the Pub a miss today and go out tomorrow ?

     

    Because I was out all day, I didnt get the chance to Chase up Bet365…maybe I will do it later this morning or tomorrow as I MAY go back to the Pub this morning…Opening Time ?

     

    Im a bad Man.

     

    LOL

    Excellent post.

  13. celticforever on

    you have the dedication of an olympian athlete Big Jimmy

     

    going to the pub to increase your drinking stamina

     

     

    Gold medal when the drinking frenzy happens

     

     

    Hail Hail

  14. Bamboo

     

    So I assume that if you contract Covid and require hospital

     

    treatment you will refuse as the virus is a hoax?

  15. The hand of God on

    Was in York for a long weekend and watched the game in Ye Olde Starre Inne .All the English people who were watching the game in the beer garden were wanting Scotland to win although they did have a chuckle at the 2nd goal,kinda made me feel bad for always wanting England to lose but when you hear the songs their fans sing in the stadium it reaffirms my stance

    Good man yourself.

     

     

    I talked myself off the Bolger horse as I thought it had had three hard races in quick succession. What a horse and what a trainer!!

     

     

    He is causing quite a stushie in Ireland with his comments about illegal substances being given to horses. The governing body are trying to fend him off but he won’t shut up.

     

     

    Maybe The Great Desmondo should ask him for advice how to get off his knees and stand up for our club.

     

     

    Anyway, I took prices earlier in the week about Astro King and Haqeeqy in the 5:00 big handicap – must have a high draw, only race for me today.

     

     

    Be lucky big guy.

  17. STEBHOY,

     

     

    Your post deserves a repost in my opinion.

     

     

    Season tickets bought prior to Ange Postecoglou’s appointment, we support the team, not the board or the incumbent manager.

     

     

    They are all ships in the night eventually and I say that as one who has regularly written to board members expressing my severe disappointment in their actions or inactions as appropriate.

     

     

     

     

    STEBHOY on 15TH JUNE 2021 4:13 PM

     

    mursheen – I’m fine with us all expecting to win every game. As a club, all factions have a major part too play – finances, recruitment, coaching, players and fans collective determine whether we win lose or draw.

     

     

     

    Entitlement for me? This is when we win 9 IAR again and an unprecedented quad treble – we follow this with a disastrous season where all of those factions collapsed in a single season. Board for complacent, recruitment was awful, players didnt perform, coaching couldn’t handle the fluid situations and the fans panicked due to 10IAR. I have HUGE sympathy for the club – covid destroyed any momentum as we regularly lost key at critical times in the season (btw – this disrupts training, playing and personnel who need to quarantine). Beyond this, we were desperately unlucky with injuries, again to key players and back up players.

     

     

     

    I can’t believe journalists don’t discuss this in their analysis – I guarantee, if Rangers went through what we did last season – the narrative would be one of lucky celtic, unfortunate rangers and Asterix beside the title.

     

     

     

    10IAR didnt happen for multiple reasons – we have no right to win every game.

     

     

     

    External factors play a significant factor in sport – luck included. If it wasn’t for this force – we wouldn’t have stopped rangers winning 10IAR and probably 11, 12 ,13….

     

     

     

    I am grateful for this , I am grateful for our recent domination and I am grateful we are still in strong financial health to go on a run again. Unlike Rangers who scramble desperately to keep the lights on.

     

     

     

    Entitlement v expectations are very different things.

     

     

     

    time for the next phase in Celtics great history.

     

     

     

    PS If Ranger had just won 9 again and quad treble – the all media avenues would still be talking about it and glorifying it.

  18. Ryan Christie is still a good player – he chucked it a while ago for sure but if the story around AP is good then mibbe the Athenian Fenian can turn thr bhoy around?

     

     

    !’d stick with Sparky as well – while I’m all for revolution, lets manage the change reasonably – a bit of old with the new might help.

     

     

    THAT fixture list would suggest a need for a safe start to a BIG season.

     

     

    A meringue?

     

     

    HH.

  19. Boo, the wife has just informed me that she is going to look and buy something online.

     

     

    Probably cost me an arm and leg now.

     

     

    HH to all on CQN.
