Dundee United lost their first game back after the winter break; the seven games since have seen them lose only once, and that was to the last gasp Liel Abada winner at Celtic Park. The defensive qualities they showed that day have been evidenced since, as they have not conceded in the four games that followed.
There is a lot of football to be played in the three weeks before we face them at Tannadice in the quarter finals of the Scottish Cup, Celtic have at least six games, United have a maximum of four, a heavy load for the visitors. If Celtic overcome Bodo/Glimt in the conference league, they will have a last 16 tie on the Thursday before visiting Tannadice on the Sunday.
Despite our comfortable win there earlier in the season, the disproportionate load facing the teams, will make this a difficult cup tie.

We shouldny have banned huns support from our last game against them at Parkhead, we should’ve been the big bhoy’s in the room.
But we urny the big bhoy’s are we??
Naw, we’re the £52??, oldfirm who’ve sold our soul’s and everybody knows it. 👍

Wish we could tell thems to shove there 800 tickets and we will hold ours.
——————–
Agree totally mhate,keep the Paradise atmosphere virus free.
The last ( and only) time I was in Arbroath to see The Celtic WIN ” 9-0″ ( I THINK that was the score line ?) in the 1980’s with ANDY PATON scoring a Hat Trick at least ( I Think ?)
DANNY MCGRAIN MAY have been Arbroaths manager that night ?
I went on my supporters Bus, and we had a right good sing song as we watched The Celts…ESPECIALLY as The HUN THUG ” Scott Nesbit” had just announced his retirement thru injury from Fitba a couple of days earlier.
I LED the song from the Terracing that Night with my mates from the bus joining in…..
” Scott Nesbit…Collects a GIRO”
LOL
Nesbit WAS a Hun Thug/Animal.

Rangers went burst owing in the region of £170m.
What would have happened if John Keane had not stepped up in 1994 and our club had been liquidated over a debt of £5m?
Would our liquidation have been treated differently than rangers’ liquidation?
Here’s my take.
The SFA rule book would have been pulled out. Before admission to the league you will need 3 years accounts.
Celtic would have been playing non-league football for 3 years followed by years in the lower divisions. David Murray and his friends at the bank of scotland wanted Celtic killed off. They would have gotten their way.
Fergus would have walked away and we may never have recovered.
ERNIE LYNCH @ 2.37
The Ole Gunnar Solskjær for Aberdeen stories are interesting. I assume Fergie is involved there somehow.
—-
Interesting thought – never occurred to me. Would he really be drawn to the Dons after Utd?
If it did happen it would be a coup for Aberdeen and take away the pain of Glass appointment very swiftly. Perhaps we would see an influx of Scandinavian players….could be good for the Dons & the league.
My money is on Jack Ross. I think Hibs will rue his departure, just as Aberdeen do Mcinnes.

So, the rest of us on this Blog can ASSUME that YOU ALWAYS REFUSED to PAY for a Ticket to see the Celtic play the Huns at Ipox and/or Hampden Park, throughout your whole life ?
Were YOU HAPPY at giving YOUR Money to the Huns and/or The SFA ?
“Kevin,are you not going to go in and take a shower.Get those Pyjamas off,let me wash them.You’ve had them on for a month.All you do is sit there,battering away at that bloody Laptop.
Why don’t you get showered,dressed,go down to the Pub for an hour like normal people.No wonder you have no friends”.
“You don’t understand MA,these Dim Tim’s have to be shown where they are going wrong.Thats why I sit here all day and night racking my brain for more and more insults.Its the only way they listen,and understand”.
“Oh Kevin,that approach never helped the last time you were in a Pub,and tried the same thing.3 months I was visiting you in the Royal,feeding you through a straw in Intensive Care”And what’s all this mail coming every day,addressed to different people at this house.I’m thinking of calling your Uncle George Galloway,,see what he makes of it.That shows you how much I am at my wits end because he’s as fekin daft as you”

a pure random for today.
I watched the Arbroath v Hibs game, and quite enjoyed the views from the tv gantry, the antics of the fans, and the old feeling of a real cup tie, If i lived near the town thats the kinda game i would attend.
Is there anti celtic feeling around the town any ?”
Anti-Celtic feeling from Hun supporters, naturally (!) but the majority of Arbroath fans I know don`t seem particularly interested in either us or Them. They probably have a slight leaning one way or the other but it is not obvious and generally it is `one side is as bad as the other` but even that is fairly low key. Even so,I try to educate those people but it is a tough task !
Judging by the numbers on the Supporters Bus, there are certainly many more Celtic ST holders in the town.On the other hand, there seems to be a fair number of Masons but even some of them are Celtic supporters! Honest.
Non – Celtic post.
I was watching a debate involving Ian Hislop and some MP`s. One of the latter was a Scottish guy named Alberto Costa. He seemed a dreadfully conceited character. Anyone know anything about him?

I wouldn’t give money to the present custodians, no.
You twist what I’m saying into different timescales to suit what your trying to say.
MON told “us” what the custodians were going to be like when, MON, as a Celtic manager goes out of his way to warn “us” about what the Lawwell era was going to be like, when MON said…..
“In terms of European aspirations, Celtic supporters had better be prepared for recruitment from the slow lane.”
MON warned “us” Timmy, and the board was financially backed££££ with 53,000 season tickets in virtually all of the 18 years since MON left us, and we have never got beyond the first knockout round in Europe since MON left us. And now we’re in the Euro 3rd division, with Ange ball.

Shut up
No away fans at the Glasgow Derby should continue for the foreseeable.
I’m sure both the people of Glasgow and the Cops would welcome that. Every seat sold, no segregation empties and no no-go areas outside the ground. Much safer and less tension.
As for SKY, do they have a ready reckoner for how much they pay versus size of visiting support ??
No away fans = £x
800 away fans= £x plus
7500 away fans =£x plus plus
I have no idea but I doubt it very much. Maybe somebody knows ?
Another pure random.
Being 4 miles or so west of the airport, there are some mornings and evenings when it seems the weather is just right that I can hear aircraft taking off.
We often get military aircraft coming up the clyde and the helicopters going to the hospitals.
I was out the front garden earlier today, and said hello to a passing neighbour.
We heard a roar in the sky. Sounded like a low flying jet but it was over in seconds.
Anyone else hear it ? It couldnt have been this could it ?

Sonic BOOM ‘shakes windows’ across north west England as BAE Typhoon jet breaks sound barrier during training mission over the Irish Sea
The jet created the huge bang as it went supersonic off the coast of Southport
BAE Systems said that the Typhoon was part of flight testing alongside the RAF

A Typhoon caused a sonic boom which ripped across the North West of England this morning.
The jet created the huge bang as it jumped to supersonic off the coast of Southport, Merseyside, at around 11am.
BAE Systems said the aircraft, which took off from RAF Coningsby in Lincolnshire, was part of flight testing alongside the RAF and apologised for any alarm caused.
The firm said the Typhoon – registered as Apollo 11 – had been operating in an offshore range area but the sound may have travelled due to ‘climatic conditions’.

The huge sonic boom was heard across Lancashire, Cheshire, Manchester and Merseyside.
Terrified residents thought an ‘earthquake’ had ripped through the earth and said their homes and windows shook.
The jet was part of the Typhoon development programme, which is part of the UK’s attempts at safeguarding national security.
A Royal Air Force plane was in the area during the trial but a spokesman confirmed the military jet did not go supersonic.
Paul Lambert good player ,manager absolutely hopeless,Adams another one being sacked this afternoon,his limit was Ross County,same with Lennon went to Bolton a disaster,I said yesterday if Aberdeen have any ambition they should be looking at someone who is a good coach and a decent manager I mentioned Ronny Delia who could do the biz up there .

So, all of us can ALSO ASSUME that YOU have NEVER bought a Ticket for ANY Celtic game that was classed as a NEUTRAL VENUE…Such as Hampden, Ipox etc ?
So YOU have NEVER PAID to watch Celtic in ANY SEMI FINALS, and/or CUP FINALS…( Glasgow Cup, League Cup, Scottish Cup) EVER in your life…….Because of your so called ” Principles”, that YOU want others to take on ?

Kevin seems to fill a lot of heads on here.
I don’t think there’s been a post from anyone called “Kevin” since yon, “Kev Jungle” poster last appeared on here??
If its him you speak of, he must’ve really got to quite a few folk by the looks of it??
Obviously this, “Kev Jungle” didn’t go to the pub with you, in Turkey, I’m guessing??
Thought not.
But you know, see if your going through delusions about a poster who hasn’t even posted on here for years, not to my knowledge he hasn’t posted, don’t you need to see a specialist?? Maybe??
If this “Kev Jungle” guy has rattled you so much, without even posting, can you imagine the effect he’d have on you in a pub??
Get help, good luck. 👍 🍀

I thought I heard ” SONIC BOOMS” THREE Times recently when The Celtic put THREE GOALS past the Huns ?
HH.
Just watched the highlights of Celtic Ladies defeating Sevco 2-1 in the Scottish Cup. There is no way our 2 goals would have been allowed by the MIB if they occurred in the men’s game.
Odd that.

FFS! Saint! Made me spew my coffee over the keyboard!
Scotland’s Top Women’s Teams have agreed to join the SPFL this summer.
The path to parity with the men’s game has taken a giant step forward in Scotland. Of course similar moves are ‘bubbling under’ all over the world.
There will be an enormous impact on all aspects of the game, media, financial sponsorship…etc, at both club and international level in the coming years.
Whether the traditional football fan is in favour, or, not, it is happening, only the precise timing is in question.

We played the oldfirm game by reciprocating in banning huns supporters.
Which was wrong.
Two wrongs don’t make a right.
We were supposed to be a “stand alone club” but we’re the other cheek of the oldfirm ass.
Our custodians are oldfirmists.
Celtic fans who bought £49, £52, £??, oldfirm tickets support a PLC full of oldfirmists.

Early life Edit
Costa was born to Italian parents who have lived in Scotland for 50 years.[3][4] He grew up in Bishopbriggs. He trained as a solicitor and worked at the Treasury Solicitor’s Department.[5]
Political career Edit
At the 2010 general election, Costa unsuccessfully contested the Angus constituency; where he finished in second place behind the sitting MP Mike Weir of the Scottish National Party.[6]
Costa was opposed to Brexit prior to the 2016 EU referendum.[7]
He currently leads the House of Commons delegation of MPs affiliated to the Conservative Friends of Greece parliamentary group.[8]
On 27 February 2019, he was asked to resign, and did so, from his role as parliamentary private secretary in the Scotland Office following his tabling of an amendment to protect rights of EU citizens. Shortly before his resignation, Home Secretary Sajid Javid backed the amendment in a committee meeting and said that the Government would support it.[9] It was later passed unopposed, approved ‘on the nod’ by the Commons
800 tickets is a nonsense, done to appease their hordes. Either we get a proper allocation, as demanded in the rules or we refuse to accept the paltry number they foisted on us.
Personally, I think we should refuse to take any.

Thanks for that but I really meant any `inside ` info.
Contested the Angus constituency ? I really should know something about him, then !
Cheerio for now.
Maloney is a couple of results, away from getting his Harry Potters…….
Costa is one of those horrible things a fully signed up Scottish tory.
He is one of the tories who is sent out to PMs questions to ask silly questions to deflect from the partygate shenanigans, spineless creep of an individual. Like most Scottish tories couldn’t win a seat up here in the westminster system so was eventually given a safe seat down Sth,

I wouldn’t be so arrogant to assume to know how “Kev” thinks, how would I know what someone is thinking?
But I will guess how he thinks, if its the same “Kev” who seems to be causing lots of sleepless nights on here??
I guess that “Kev” probably thought it would be a bad idea to go to a pub were a group of anti “Kev” folk were drinking, then the group would start a fight with “Kev”, forcing “Kev” to defend himself, which would probably lead to “Kev” kicking all of their asses as I don’t think “Kev” was a drinker?? and “Kev” would get a criminal record for kicking would be assailants asses?? And that wouldn’t be worth “Kev’s” trouble, for positively responding to an invite to a pub to meet a group of anti “Kev” folk.
“Kev” who posted on here was smarter than that, I’d guess??
Wherever this “Kev” is I hope he is in good health. 🙏 🍀
