  5. Will the board debate last longer than the 2006-2012 left back debate. Is the rangers cup home draw the new penalty to rangers. Bring them on.

  6. Meanwhile some signs of forward thinking from the SFA in appointing Seb Pocognoli as new National Coach.

     

    This is the guy that led Union SG to the Belgian title not so long ago….

     

    Hopefully Naisy will be named as his assistant to show him the ropes…..

    SPAM @7.36: “ This means that for every 4,096 times a team plays a sequence of 12 non-neutral matches in this competition, it is statistically expected to happen only once”.

     

     

    I honestly don’t understand. Can you elaborate for me?

  10. God bless the Old Firm. 👀 👀

     

    Will it be £56, £58, or the round figure of, £60 per Old Firm league fixture ticket? 👀

     

    Showbizzzzzz with green and blue tartan skirts blowing their bile filled bitter bagpipes. 👀

     

    30,000 empty seats at Parkhead without the Old Firm rivalry and all of its glitz and glamour serenading the league with all of the dinosaur choons! 👀

     

    Then the hypocrites will insist that there is no Old Firm as they financially back the board who used secret agent Brendan Rodgers to sugarcoat the Old Firm tickets after Sevco’s promotion in 2016 were New club Sevco tickets were curiously the same price as old dead Rangers tickets from 2012?? 👀 👀 👀 👀

     

    Talk about the ultimate shaft. 👀 Oh dear! 👀

     

    Can’t imagine the Kelly’s & White’s going along with that ( criminality ) to keep David Murray out of prison after he and his EBT crime wave had cheated Celtic FC out of 20+ trophies. 👀 👀 👀 👀

     

    But who am I.

    There’s a European game sandwiched in there between playing them away then at home, B78?

     

     

    I’m led to believe they’ll have a free week because the cl (lower case to differentiate from the CL) doesn’t kick off until October.

  15. Blogger GM

     

     

    I love your positivity re qualification for CL.

     

     

    I really hope you are right.

    *SENTINEL CELTS PLAYER OF THE YEAR 2025-26*

     

    *RESULTS FROM GAME #3 DUNDEE UNITED 0 CELTIC 4 (TRUSTY, DURAN, TOUNEKTI, NYGREN)*

     

     

    Good evening, friends.

     

    It was good to see the green grass surface return to Tannadice for our opening game in this season’s League Cup. A few changes to the starting line up saw Donovan, Scales, Oxlade-Chamberlain and Tounekti get their first starts of the season.

     

    The opening exchanges were fairly even and in the 11th minute Dundee Utd had their first of 5 off target shots that hit the frame of Celtic’s goal, Eskesen hitting the outside of the post from the edge of the box. 4 minutes later and Sinisalo’s pass to McGregor was hit with too much power, resulting in Utd shooting and hitting the4 same post.

     

    With 22 minutes played Celtic won 2 corners in a minute. Nygren’s delivery from the second one was mat perfectly by Trusty running towards the nearside of the six yard box and Austin’s glancing header looper perfectly into the far corner of the net. And just 2 minutes later, Celtic doubled our lead. Oxlade Chamberlain found space in the box and fired the ball across towards Høgh. Our number 9 was dragged to the ground and the ball bounced off his arm. Duran was quickest to react and prodded the loose ball home under pressure for his first competitive goal for Celtic.

     

    Just before half time Høgh tussled for the ball out left and fired a pass across to Duran. Duran saw Kasper calling for it at the back post and put in a perfect cross only for Høgh to sidefoot the chance over the bar.

     

    Dundee Utd started the second half well, hitting Celtic’s bar in the 48th minute. But 5 minutes later and it was 3-0 to The Hoops. A nice crisp passing move saw the ball reach Tounekti on the left corner of the penalty area. A wee shimmy inside and a right foot shot placed well into the near corner and good reward for one of his better performances.

     

    Just before the hour saw the introduction of new bhoy Mika Baur who replaced the impressive Oxlade-Chamberlain. During the half hour that followed we saw plenty to be pleased about from our young German midfielder.

     

    The 62nd minute saw our 4th and final goal and of course it had to be Nygren. Receiving the ball on the edge of the box, Benjamin didn’t even have to look up as he placed a delightful left foot chip into the far side of the net.

     

    More substitutes followed including a 20 minute appearance from our “very naughty bhoy” – Haissem Hassan. He didn’t have too many opportunities to get involved and is hopefully saving that for our next 2 games.

     

    With a quarter of an hour remaining, debutant Baur emulated debutant Larsson from 29 years ago by passing the ball out of defence straight to an opponent. But fortunately we got away with it, only conceding a corner.

     

    Dundee United managed one final off target shot hitting the junction of post and bar before the referee signalled for time up on 90 minutes precisely. Strange, that.

     

    Celtic have now played 3 games, winning them all. We have scored 10 (by 6 different players), conceded 1, sit on top of the league and through to the League Cup quarter finals.

     

    As for the voting numbers, another brilliant turnout and my sincere thanks to the 120 who kindly took the time to register their nominations, the 2nd highest EVER (last season’s post split Sevco victory, with THAT overhead kick still sits out on its own with 132 voters]. So, having topped the 100 benchmark again, that’ll be another £3 donation to the Sentinel Celts nominated charity, Glasgow City Mission.

     

    And so to the results. The total votes cast for each player (with my own nominations asterisked) are as follows –

     

     

    Sinisalo: 0

     

    Donovan*: 19

     

    Carter Vickers: 17

     

    Trusty: 10

     

    Scales: 2

     

    McGregor: 6

     

    Oxlade-Chamberlain*: 10

     

    Nygren: 103

     

    Duran*: 107

     

    Høgh: 3

     

    Tounekti: 80

     

    Baur: 3

     

    McCowan: 0

     

    Forrest: 0

     

    Murray: 1

     

    Hassan: 0

     

    Unused substitutes: Doohan, Hatate, Osmand, Tierney

     

     

    And so, the POINTS earned by each player for the game against Dundee United are as follows –

     

    25 – Duran

     

    22 – Nygren

     

    19 – Tounekti

     

    16 – Donovan

     

    14 – Carter-Vickers

     

    12 each – Oxlade-Chamberlain and Trusty

     

    10 – McGregor

     

    9 each – Høgh and Baur

     

    8 – Scales

     

    4 each – Forrest, Hassan, McCowan and Sinisalo

     

    1 each – Doohan, Hatate, Osmand, Tierney

     

    And the CUMULATIVE POINTS after 3 games played are as follows –

     

    60 – Nygren

     

    49 – Duran

     

    45 – Tierney

     

    41 – Carter-Vickers, McGregor and Høgh

     

    35 – Trusty

     

    30 – Engels

     

    29 – Tounekti

     

    26 – Donovan

     

    22 – Yang

     

    19 –Sinisalo

     

    17 – Johnston and McCowan

     

    14 – Forrest and Oxlade-Chamberlain

     

    9 – Baur

     

    8 – Scales

     

    7 – Osmand

     

    6 – Murray

     

    4 – Hassan

     

    3 – Doohan, Hatate

     

     

    We now face our first European test of the season when we play Lask in the Champions League Play Off Round (First Leg). It’s an 8.00pm kick off on Wednesday evening.

     

    Hail Hail!

    Fair response Celtic Mac. Much ado about nothing.

     

     

     

    Personally want Huns at Celtic park in next round.

     

     

    …………….

     

    Rubbish. It wasn’t a fair response. He lied and accused a poster on here of encouraging a Celtic player to do something illegal. His refusal to apologise does him no credit whatsoever and says a lot about you and where your own moral compass is.

  19. It would appear that Engels did not make the WHU match squad today despite it being reported that his transfer had to take place last week in time for him to do so,

    Celtic players have access to some of the best equipment and conditioning facilities around @ Lennoxtown, maybe even Barrowfield as well. To suggest that one of our players is too weak or too slow is an insult to the player and to the club. The only way a player could improve his “power” or his “speed” beyond that is by using performance enhancing substances such as EPOs or anabolic steroids etc. maybe even creatine which is not banned. Not a question of “hitting the gym” these are professional sportsmen we are talking about, footballers. Professional footballers.

     

    And as to whether I rather rely on a response from Burnley78 or from you, or from any of the snowflakes on here it will be B78 every day of the week.

    Blogger –

     

     

    “ This means that for every 4,096 times a team plays a sequence of 12 non-neutral matches in this competition, it is statistically expected to happen only once”.

     

     

    you can ignore the 12 non-neutral matches bit

     

    my original questioning was flawed.

     

    i had asked ai to ignore hampden semis and finals and to gauge the probability of the huns having 12 home games in row

     

    i had even asked it to consider whether being pulled out of the hat for the 1st, 2nd, etc games in a round contributed to the stats – very very wrong

     

     

    basically what it means is that a team might get 12 homes in a row in the league cup once in 4096 games.

     

     

    2 to the power of 12 being the simple route to that answer. looks like you had got there far simpler -albeit for 10 games – by going for 2 to the power of 10.

    I’m far from a snowflake. I’m a Celtic supporter, no more no less. I comment on things as I see them.

     

     

    You lied today. You attributed words to another poster that he didn’t say. He advisedTounetki to go to the gym to improve his physique. I have said the same. He did not tell Tounekti to take steroids. You lied. Simple as that. No one can now trust a word that comes out of your mouth.

     

     

    You, Burnley 78, The Blogger are all fellow travellers. You think you are in some way superior to most Celtic supporters. We don’t have the same credentials as you do because we are not lickspittles who support the Board come what may.

     

     

    Again, you lied.

    ……. …………

     

    Apparently on the night that Peter Lawell’s car, spreading to his house, was fire bombed, two other cars were set on fire in the Bothwell area. I read that police believe that this was because Peter Lawell’s car was resisting attempts by certain people who wanted to become football agents (which is a lucrative business) due to their dubious reputation. It had nothing to do with Celtic supporters angry at the Board or Rangers supporters for whatever motive.

    You want him “to improve his physique”……..

     

    Listen to yourself. How do you envisage he could or should do this “beyond” his regime as a professional footballer? You know better than the professionals at Celtic FC? I’ve got news for you pal….you don’t.

     

    I’ll stick with B78, The Blogger, and Back To Basics, another ‘fellow traveller’ and the one incidentally who made the original critique.

    that was the commonly held view, except by some who wanted to blame the Ultras…

    ………………….

     

    Are you saying that I’m not entitled to an opinion on whether or not Tounekti should improve his physique? Who made you omnipotent? How do you know he’s doing everything he can to improve his physique? How do you know the professionals at Celtic FC are advising him in anyway whatsoever?

     

     

    For your information I’m pretty sure I heard Martin O’Neill state explicitly last season that he was concerned about the lack of physicality in the Celtic squad. Maybe the whole team should have been doing more in the gym if that’s the case.

     

     

    With regards to the professionals at Celtic FC, I can tell you that in the not too distant past we had a manager who didn’t rate sports science all that highly and ignored previous work undertaken by Celtic backroom staff to develop this within the club. The coaching staff also didn’t know what mood this professional would turn up in from one morning to the next. You obviously assume that all professionals ensure that every player has a regime that is itemised to the last detail. How naive are you?

     

     

    You still lied.
