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.

Dunno mate. Heard the line-up and decided not to listen!

Fancy the brazen on Saturday?

Yes and no. This was addressed during the examination of the changes to RIDDOR 2013. But it is not always clear when the Health & Safety at Work Act applies. For example if a death occurred during a professional sporting activity then obviously it must be reported. However, injuries sustained in the normal course of a game or sporting activity, fracture etc. would not generally be considered reportable. In that context I’m guessing the Johansen injury would not be reported.

I certainly fancy it but I cannot make it. Regards to TD.

With regard to the state of our pitch, the pitch is meant to be a mix of grass and astroturf, a very small percentage of being astroturf in order to reduce the wear and tear on the pitch.
We have the lighting rigs which have been used before on the pitch , they had them on when I was at a few lunches at the stadium, andI dont know if they are still used to help the pitch.
The front of the roof on the South Stand is perspex to get more natural right on the pitch but the last two dreich and drookit winters won’t have helped.
If it is to be relaid ,lets hope the quality of turf used is better .
How about an advert saying “Wanted – journalist who knows what liquidation is”……

I see that St midden have had one attempt on goal to our ten, must have left our shooting boots at home then :-)
I find it quite sad when a supporter who is looking for avenues to help to stop the cheating that our players suffer week in week out, and other supporters take the piss.
But like the club, yous are obviously happy to see us being cheated and assaulted rather than look to do anything about it.
Aye, sad.

Ffs do a bit more than googling before you let your belly rumble, you’ll probably struggle to focus or concentrate long enough to take thin in but there are a few others interested.
Safety in Sport Guidance for UK National Governing Bodies UK Sport Prepared by Dr C W Fuller
3. Implications for National Governing Bodies, Clubs and Societies
If there is at least one person who receives payment or payment in kind for work within an organisation, the organisation will be regarded as an employer so far as health and safety, and equalities, legislation is concerned. Therefore, in this context, the majority of NGBs will be regarded as employers. In the UK, every employer must ensure, so far as is reasonably practicable, the health, safety and welfare of any person who may be affected by their activities. Employers, however, are responsible for both their own acts and the acts of their employees and agents, such as voluntary workers (vicarious liability). Failure by an NGB to identify the risks within their sport and/or to provide guidance to associated clubs and societies on how to control these risks could leave groups and individuals vulnerable to criminal or civil liability in the event of an accident to a participant, spectator or member of the public……
4.2 Statutory requirements
…..Two general pieces of statutory legislation dominate the management of health and safety for all activities; namely, the Health and Safety at Work etc Act 1974 and the Management of Health and Safety at Work Regulations 1999. In the case of an accident to an employee or a member of the public, it is also necessary to be aware of the requirements to report certain incidents under the Reporting of Injuries, Diseases and Dangerous Occurrences Regulations 1995…..
….There are no specific requirements to report accidents or injuries caused by sporting activities. However, a death or serious injury to a member of the public or an employee at a sports ground or a sporting activity must be reported to the appropriate enforcing authority under the general requirements of the Reporting of Injuries, Diseases and Dangerous Occurrences Regulations (RIDDOR) 1995….
5.3 Four-way responsibility for sport safety
There is a four-way interdependence of responsibilities for the health and safety risks associated with each sport among NGBs, affiliated clubs and societies, officials and participants. Examples of the contributions that each of these groups make to the safety of sport can be summarised as:
…..
Officials:
• Fitness and capability for officiating;
• Knowledge of the sport’s relevant laws/rules;
• Compliance with laws/rules during events;
• Protection of participants from ill health and injury caused by unsafe equipment and facilities and/or the acts and omissions of other participants; Protection of spectators from ill health and injury caused by the sport’s activities;
• Provision of personal liability insurance.
Only 24hr after the draw and I am Sickened by the hype and lies being spun
Sitting in the sauna at the gym tonight and zombies and stupid tims discussing the old firm … looking forward to the return of the old rivalry and even discussing the merits of the magical Warburton and how often o halloran resembles Ronaldo in style technique and physique
Final nail was the chat about selling some of their players for £15 each ….. as warbo has transformed them into world beaters
The work today was a strange place today…people being made redundant (never nice to witness) and obviously with the hun game a lot of tribalism.
I was asked if I would be going to the game, I’m not and will be in Murcia, as sadly, I can’t afford to make Dublin now… No overtime for the past four months has put a hole in my bank account:)
Murcia will only cost me the flight and spending money, Clougher I will forward you the dosh for the three tickets I asked for,thankyou for making the effort…cap doffed.
Back to the huns in work that are left, as many of them are gone now.
They’re very upbeat about the game, so upbeat they want the draw of me…miserable bassas.
Considering we’ve only played them once before (they hate that :) and should have taken six, seven off them I gave them the draw, here’s hoping we start getting it together.
A repost of something from earlier today
QUONNO on 7TH MARCH 2016 2:13 PM
Following defeat by Ross County in LC semi, I posted here to the effect that the first person associated with Celtic, who ever utters the word treble, should be paraded round CP, taken to the centre spot where they would have an extremely hot, sharp object inserted in their backside.
The same applies in spades to any who during the next few weeks, come on here boasting about how many we are going to hump THEM by.

Celtic mac,
I think the document I took the excerpts from might interest and change your mind, I think the main problem understanding what applies, is too many don’t have a clue how to use search engines or how to frame their search with relevant words but most likely they stop at the first thing that supports their stupidity.
2-1 to the young fells
Calvin Miller with 2 goals in a minute puts U20s into 2-1 lead
Oops points 3&4 got lumped together.
Sips
Your should wave and laugh as the huns puck up their redundancy letters you and I both know it’s only what they deserve for decades of laziness and masonic influenza. … fek the lotta them
Proudbhoy: Did you get sorted for Dublin?
Has anyone noticed the irony of this situation?
Our support is ripping itself apart , with polar opposite views.
Some will definitely go to the Semi final, others definitely won’t .
Each view I can understand.
The irony?
Well, whilst we argue amongst ourselves the Hun will be 100% United and giving their all to put us to the sword.
Personally, I will qualify for a ticket but will give it to a mate.
HH
Tbj…
Yer a hard mhan, it’s down to Cmc and scud for the fitters job, hopefully C will get it.
Burghbhoy,
I can guarantee you those that go will be united and those that don’t go will still want the team to win.

How daft can you be. The more of them who are unemployed, the harder it will be for others to get work.

To all those ‘chomping at the bit’ for Celtic to jump into the Ibrox cesspool by issuing a statement.
QUESTION: If a statement issued by Celtic could potentially legally rebound and harm Celtic, would you still be in favour of going ahead, regardless of the consequences?

TET,
The usual suspects will try and rip the pish regardless of any validity in anything I say, you’ll note it’s gone all quiet :)
I expect a witty repartee from constable savage in a day or two and the ubertim will just wait till I talk about something else.

That’s like comparing Patrick roberts with Michael o halloran. … cmc will get the job even though scud is a long standing brother he didn’t get that nickname easily; )

We are paying lawyers sweet to ensure that any such, much needed statement is water tight.
The longer Celtic say nothing, the more they will be seen as colluding in the rise of THEM.

You are confusing “brand” with “existence”. The Celtic brand will forever now be OLD FIRM and NOT Celtic. Celtic are not on their last legs their superior brand is.
Rangers are still here. Celtic are playing them in the Scottish cup. Haven’t you heard?
Huns are never ashamed. So many misconceptions in your post.
MrPastry,
How can telling legal truths end up in court, they are not the same club end off, how does that end up in court ?
The old club cheated Celtic out of money, how does that end up in court ?
The old clubs cheated titles should be stripped, how does that end up in court ?
You live in lalaland and I expect those statements might be illegal in lala land but not in Scotland, not yet but it might become so if people like you don’t grow a pair and stand up to the cheating.
In my expert opinion the Health and Safety officer won’t be talking about Res 12. How’s that going.
Thought Quonno was the mental one there’s a massive list on here. Just aswell the Celtic brand is finished.

When did telling the truth ever become against the law FFS.
And you tell us to get real.
Graham Spiers lost a job recently for writing what 99% of Tims know to be true.
Unfortunately, Speirs and others could not prove, true or not what was written.
Telling the truth without proof, can be illegal and costly.
