Well done to everyone for the win against Morton. After a difficult week it was good to get the result sorted out before halftime. Fixing poor form is seldom a straightforward business, but yesterday’s win was our sixth game in a month, with the loss of only one goal in that period.
The five games before this run didn’t produce a single clean sheet. Erik Sviatchenko started only the last of those five games (at Pittodrie), so while the sample size isn’t enough to draw clear conclusions, it’s an early indication the Dane has tightened things up at the back.
One thing Erik hasn’t been able to do is turn Celtic into a team which looks like it knows how to defend a corner kick. A Morton corner fell into the six-yard box to an attacker’s foot (never mind head). We’ve seen dozens of these horror-show set-pieces this season. They have cost us in the Champions League, Europa League, League Cup and in the Premiership. The Scottish Cup is the only tournament we’ve got away with it, so far.
You are I are beyond despairing at this point, let’s just get it sorted, Celtic.

Enjoy your day
Don’t come on here though complaining about any aspect of anti-Celtic/Irish bigotry that the club or support are exposed to on the day, in the form of policing, Sevco support or MIBbery.
Your baggage and beef maybe don’t stop you supporting Celtic, but they sure as dammit get in the way of you seeing the big picture.

To paraphrase Talking Head: “Same as it ever was and is every single week…”
I do see the bigger picture and i’m comfortable with the decisions that I make.
Hopefully we both enjoy the day and a double!
Mr Pastry
Congratulations on sticking to the one moniker and do stick to facts.
forgive me if i go all ‘karen dunbar a la chewin the fat on you but
‘i smell shah..ite when you post’
your idle gossip,loaded inferences and view of my club i do not take to seriously,
good day
THE ENEMY WITHIN
—————————-
With ‘friends’ like some on here – Celtic doesn’t need enemies.
They know that 100% of the mud slung is only rumour and imagined MUD – but they hope for it to stick anyway.
Where do they differ from the ‘gutter press’ and our detractors in what they do?
For “a different reason”, I hear them say.
When the dagger pierces the skin and causes injury – it makes no odds whether the act was perpetrated by a friend, or a foe- at the moment of delivery it is a distinction without a difference.
Guess who never got liquidated the famous GLASGOW CELTIC and that’s who I go to watch.
Its unfortunate that Celtic got lumped with this assortment of hun loving greedy selfish executive custodians coinciding with the collapse of Rangers. There was maybe once in a 100 year opportunity to bury this Scottish cancer but by being complicit I think I can safely say that the Celtic brand is on its last legs. Long live the OLD FIRM.
Wee minger
i done the gatwick trip a few times in the late 80’s/early90s,days before cheap flights too,£75 one way had to be booked 24 hours before otherwise full monty :-)

MrPastry,
Exactly and those in the positions of power have learned to smile as they kill.

You say ‘i smell shah..ite when you post’
————————————————————–
Why not try buttoning-up your collar – it’s obviously open far too wide.
So with Johansen out for at least two weeks I take it as read that a report has been filed with the HSE identifying the incident/accident that caused the injury at work ?

You turn ‘missing the point’ into an art-form.
See the Health and Safety officer is posting.
MrPastry,
No missing any point, those that wield the dangerous weapons sit in the board room. Your havering drivel about supporter airing their views as if they are somehow responsible for the boards inaction and silence.
You droned on today about the EBT’s, blurting shite and trying a typical hun play by saying fact after your stupid statements.
The fact is, the DOS ruling already identified cheating and Celtic are well within their right to make a statement, bullshit about staff potentially being targeted is cowardice from those most likely to be targeted, those who make the statement.
They pretend they are looking after the minions when it’s obvious even to a clown like you that the hun go after those who speak out.

I see the ubertim is still brainless.

Under the latest reporting regs. (RIDDOR), an accident or incident that led to the loss of seven + days incapacitation has to be reported, to the HSE, but the employer has fifteen days, (formerly ten) to report it. Not sure if all sports injuries are reported, given that the injured party may well still attend his place of work during his absence from the team. And he may well continue to be paid.
One for the stattos out there.
Do we potentially have history in the making this season – has any team ever lifted the Scottish Cup without facing top flight opposition? Cos if Hibs win their replay that feat remains a distinct possibility.
WC,
Why not contact the Sunday herald and ask them to take up Greeninbingley’s offer? They might just have the guts to do a real journalistic job in telling the truth. I might even consider buying it, now that the Independent on Sunday is about to go to the wall. (I have no respect for any of the Scottish newspapers.)

Angela’ s back at the Herald – I think

We’re wide open to any set piece to the opposition in our half, including corner kicks. John Kennedy was one of the finest centre halves I ever saw at Celtic. He’s now first team coach. Either he’s wrongly changed his philosophy on defending or somebody is overruling him.
have a good night Celtic fans,whatever your thinking
Peace

The “Celtic brand”, as you put it, has been wished into extinction many times over the past 120 years. Came close one or two times as well.
We are still here.
The Hubris Huns, motto Aye Entitled, on the other hand, are not.
Celtic is not on its last legs. We need a cleaning-oot of the Augean stables, that’s for sure, but that is nothing new for our mercurial club.
I suspect we will continue doing our stuff in a rather haphazard fashion, because that’s what we’ve always done.
The Huns, meanwhile, will remain dead, and forever shamed as liars and cheats.

Glad someone has a good memory of said match. ;-)
Celtic mac,
Most salaried professionals get paid when off on the sick, football players usually go back for medical treatment, being incapable of playing is incapacitated whether they return to their work place or not but thinking about that, where would the workplace be, considering Lennoxtown, CelticPark, or away games.
I recently briefly read the new guidance for sports and one thing that stood out was that all H&S rules apply.
Tradionalist 88 Just give up your Season Ticket making excuses for the crooks that run the football clubs Wake up for ffs we have taking in by crooks all the time, and it’s not football either, like a lot on here just pack in Believe me your tickets will be snapped up in jig time next season

‘First thing this morning I got a voicemail from Sunday Herald enthusiastically pitching for another Statement from Celtic supporters.’

I’m inclined to the view that when the previous advert appeared one or more journalists would have asked Celtic for a response/reaction.
I can only assume that Celtic declined to comment.
Masty
You online ? Looking for 2 seats on the brazen bus if possible for Saturday .
Will check for reply later .
Off out to 2nd wake in 2days, same family , you only think you have problems .
Before I go
What pub is recommended for some tunes on a Friday night ?
Malones and st Vincent’s seem to be best options..first time over in 5yrs so not 100% sure
Proud bhoy
I’ll ask my mate at work who drinks in st Vincent’s
I’ll also text Masty let him know you are after seats
The Celtic brand is finished if we don’t get a Health and Safety officer.
I realise the psychological need for negativity ( it is to do with survival of the species and is necessary). On CQN, though, I would be much happier if those having to respond to that need ( for negativity) would have a look at these candidates and spread the condemnation around a bit:
The SPFL
The SFA
The MSSM
Huns
The MiB
The Board
Thanks.

PS I am off for a wee beach-side stroll to see if I can catch a glimpse of the Ol` Aurora Borealis .

Masty on it, said it will be fine

straight from the HSE website
Q. Are sporting injuries reportable?
A. No, if the injury arose out of the normal participation of the activity. Injuries should be reported if they were due to defective equipment or failings in the organisation and management of an event.

I am inclined to the view that all journalists in Scotland would have steered as far away from such questions as they possibly could.

I doubt it. The fact that it had to be paid for, and appeared as an advert, says Editorial desks wouldn’t touch the issue with a barge-pole.
Which is why the ad was taken out in the first place.
Eurochamps67 –
What do you mean there’s no satan? Right, I’m aff oot…
ps – enjoyed your wee tale there. Keep them coming.
