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.

Having just listened to the Sportsound podcast and read some of the papers I don’t know whether it’s worth us even turning up to play Sevco. It seems they are present day Invincibles. Clearly they’re somewhere between the Honved team of the 50s, Ajax of the 70s, Milan of the 90s and Barcelona of the present day. This mob are clearly so good it’s a real dilemma for the club to decide whether it should even field a team. The mighty Glasgow Sevco. If we don’t beat by them by at least two I’ll eat my magic hat.

Neganyawn, glad you learned something tonight………………….now go get a cuddle!! ;x
So what to call them? Hmmmmm?
How about a wee derivation from “old firm”….”Old” becomes “New”….for the pretty obvious reasons that they are recently created/born ….
AND
“Firm” becomes something that means both “Hard” and “Corpse”…(and also incorporates an allusion to their upstanding position in society, that they I’m sure would be delighted about)
hence my suggestion for “Them” (with which I have always affectionately referred to them, and always will) Is
…..ta da….
The “New Stiffs”!
So the Scottish Cup Semi final will be Celtic versus the New Stiffs…
or in honour of the round I suppose we could say that Celtic are playing …
A bunch of ‘Semis’…
but that could be construed as offensive, so I’ll stick with theThe New Stiffs
Hail Hail

Right now, the hun has momentum and huge incentive.
Right now,we don`t.

Clunks…
I have no fear of the Zombies, nearly got kicked to death with them when I was a pup, I had a few run ins since.

Ps… Reckon I’ll meet Tony D tomorrow:))

Right now they are in the old 1st division and in the last month drew with alloa.
This is the zenith of their season……
…….this is a long line of important games we have had this season.
Dont listen to the bbc sport crap mate. The more the media talk them up from their current position the greater the gloating and get it up them we will have, right neganyawn??
Ole Celtic Park pitch looking like Monster Munch’s napper before his hair transplant.!
Imagine the thinking behind asking his opinion on forthcoming SC? Being a KFC player an awe.
The bald cheek.
However I phoned the company that did his nutjob and they are willing to give it a go doing a CP makeover. The bad news is it’ll cost £2. 47 billion.
I’m here all week!
The funniest thing about the scoddish cup draw was the bbc wheeling our kris boydechenko to tell us why he thought the huns would win.
My memory aint the best but didnt watty the brogue keep dropping him against Celtic coz he was pash!
Is that the best hun legend they have now?
BT
Thanks for that
Masty
Will do ,cheers for sorting that.
Chunks – aye he’s the ‘hair apparent’!!!

Another point about trolls posting to each other.
It indicates to me just how important CQN has been in carrying the zombie myth.
We are inundated with imposters, as they attempt to disrupt discourse.
Power to the happy clappers and mine shafters.
Hoist with their own petard.
Should describe the Huns, Hun friendly media and all at Hampden.
clunks on 7th March 2016 11:53 pm
My opinion is based on watching their game and our game at the weekend.
Didn`t like what I saw , even though the ” sample ” was small.
Hun friendly media should not be underestimated.
Here in the USA all I hear is how “one is as bad as the other”.
This is all from Brits north and south of the border.
Not one has ever bothered to attend, compare the atmosphere and attitudes of the respective supporter groups.
Make no mistake the larger collective is aligned against us.
Florida Bhoy on 8th March 2016 12:57 am
Except once that I recall. Celtic v Man Utd at the Seattle Seahawks CenturyLink field in 2003. Record sell out crowd that stood for 10 years. Mostly Celtic supporters outnumbering man U supporters. It was duly noted as exceptional by the American media at the time. I think you will find the “one as bad as the other” routine coming from UK ex pats. Now that Celtic are back in bed with the other half of the Old Firm they are right now but not then.
Another example of the Celtic brand dying ……if you ask me :)

Saint Stivs says SACK THE BOARD on 8th March 2016 1:19 am
Well there you go. Who needs accountants?
PL, consummate accountant extraordinaire, has calculated the financial risk and decided that the 45% green hun repugnant numpties will be enough to maintain the Old Firm gravy train skimming off said numpty pockets into their own pension plans until retirement.
Celtic will complete the build up of his and other ilk family wealth on the auspices of one of the most blatant examples of hypocrisy it has been my misfortune to witness. Long live the OLD FIRM….and lazy journalism.
Celtic v Rangers II – the Scotsman finally gets it right

Celtic v Rangers II – the Scotsman finally gets it right
Wasn`t doubting you,but I just had to check.

Celtic v Rangers II – the Scotsman finally gets it right –
Deliberately ambiguous.
Scott McDonald.
“I think it also meant so much to me because I was educated as a youngster about it. It wasn’t like I was just this young Aussie guy turning up and playing for one side – I knew all about it from growing up with my mum supporting one and my dad supporting the other.”
Just been reading back,not the prettiest by some way!
Two posts though,in particular,I think deserve comment.
From MOONBEAMSWD and AWE NAW
Lads,I share your disdain for the board. But please please reconsider. We will be Celtic supporters long after this mob are but a bad memory.
I understand the hypocrisy involved in turning up every week,but doing so is to show your support for Celtic. It does not show support for the board.
Those who wish to show support for the board can cheer them to the rafters. Celtic supporters cheer the team.
Despite the above,I admire your honesty and conviction,and will respect your decision.
HH,guid Tims.
Now to brighten up your morning,a wee clip of a wee fella,but a big man.

Another post that deserves comment came from EUROCHAMPS67.
Superb little analogy with more than a passing nod to this.

Good morning friends. I’m afraid that following a decent dry spell it’s back to the wind and rain in doomy, gloomy East Kilbride this morning.
Good morning from Seville Whilst I am here I shall be popping into the cathedral to ask the Big Man why he listened to those Portuguese prayers and not mine the last time I was here and will visit the pub where I watched the game.

I’ve got a few questions of my own to ask him,but I’m happy to wait a good few years to find out the answers!
Enjoy Seville. Say hi to Mum for me.
Whit a canny get!
Awe the time consumed and, energy spent on discussing the huns Died or no, died….
Thing is….how will all this stuff make Celtic’s team on the pitch play better ?
Ah mean, there’s a collection of billionaires who use your club as a toy and, sweat the assets with their – just keep yer noses in front of Rangers policy – and, they get away with it ?
These billionaires are doing more harm to the Celtic support than, the died huns are doing.
Why do you keep giving these billionaires yer money when, they slap you in the face as is their gesture of gratitude ?
You are being seen as mugs.
So, you’ll then be treated as mugs.
And, you keep coming back for more.
And, you wonder why everybody treats you as a back of the bus merchant.
The huns died or, no died….will always be here….always.
Know why ?
Coz, they’ll only be killed off by a Celtic board full of rebellious Celtic supporters.
It’ll take years of organizing….for that to happen.
So, in the meantime….strap yerselve’s in for more pain.
It’s pain that you, knowingly or, un-knowingly….pay for.
Confused ?
Well,….it’s like this…..
Rangers will only die if…..Celtic kill them.
Celtic won’t kill them coz,….in a couple of years, they would pop their clogs as well.
Rangers are supposed to have died, right ?
So, why then have Celtic lost almost 75% of their attending customers ?
Who is really died ?
Celtic’s board know full well that, they have carte-blanch to do as they like with Celtic’s ‘direction’….they drive the bus, you put the fuel in.
What if, you stop putting the fuel in the tank ?
Will the directors who, ‘direct’ a policy to, not be seen to land a glove on Rangers and, negotiate tv-deals to keep them alive, fill the tank with their own money ?
I don’t think so.
The game that their playing would be over.
So, the architects of all of this hun-revival….the ‘Rising’ of the peepil….are, you!
You, who pays these Celtic directors to play out their wee game are to blame.
The Celtic board ‘wittingly’ play a game that will ensure, that Rangers are kept alive no matter what.
No matter, how many tons of mibbery are dumped on the Celtic support….the board will buy it, on your behalf.
Or, rather….your buying it yerselve’s…..but, ye canny see it.
I predict, a season of being tortured by mibbery, the establishment, kowtowing Celtic board looking the other way and, maybe then….you’ll get it ?
Till then….keep moaning about the huns.
Kid yerselves into putting another ‘statement’ into the anti-Celtic Herald…..that’ll bring the establishment down, eh.
Or, better still….chip-in and get t-shirts made.
Know what…..the Celtic hierarchy’s sleeves must be dripping in slevirs after all the years that they’ve been laffin up their cuffs at yeez….so, so sad.
Yeez are the best folk in the world……don’t be the daftest…please.
God Bless All CQN-Celtic Fans.
……laters…….
