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.

CANAMALAR IT LOOKS LIKE OCD OBSESSION on 7TH MARCH 2016 1:40 PM
I see our old firm fans are getting the boot in first, making out it is their duty to support Celtic more against the new club than any other club.
The only people that will be at hampdump will be old firm supporters, glory hunters and self aclaimed uberfans.
The glory hunters and ignorant will fill the stadium anyone else is old firm and uber, it’s that simple.
Shit about standing shoulder to shoulder with the team is just that, shite.
The club needs to make a statement, those that consider themselves to be the club need to make this last chance to for a statement count. Else they buy into old firm.
……………………………………..
Absolute pish, O Wise One. Oracle and holder of the knowledge on all things relating to Celtic and supporting Celtic. You speak with such authority, such self belief but you’re still talking pure pish.
I’ll be there to support Celtic if I get a ticket and the game doesn’t clash with a more important family event. I’m not a glory hunter nor am I ignorant of the issues. I’m not even a self-proclaimed uberfan nor a believer in the OF.
I’ll be there to support Celtic simply because I would not abandon our players to a stadium that would be filled with 46 thousand currant buns screaming abuse at our team if all Celtic supporters were like you. It might well be a different turd but it is most definitely the same flies.

The identity, not the quality of the opposition is quite clearly the issue exercising most people on here.

We’re talking about CP attendance. Muddying the waters because you misunderstood and reacted to a post is a tired tactic btw

Ask Gordon64 for one. Clearly you haven’t read back. Not sure what the motivation would be for making something like that up but believe what you like. Halfwit.
I’m asking you, your the poster making the allegation which you cant back up, as there is no post on CQN calling Celtic supporters to the hills

Two points.
One.
I have as I said since the turn of the year attended Celtic Par once. I have fully paid for 4 season books, 3 adult and 1 child. 3 of these 4 have been used once like me and the other zero times since the turn of the year.
These 4 books will be sent back to the club before the end of the season as we may wish to attend once or twice more before we totally give up. Personally I’m gone and doubt I’ll be back unless there is a sea change attitude from our board towards this bunch of crooks running and playing in our league.
I have attended on and off (mainly on determined by affordability) since 1982. I have spent thousands attending home and away albeit rarely away since 2001 since my son was born.
I am one of those folk who as you state have offered my club nothing.
I believe I have offered my club more financially in terms of affordability over the years than they have ever offered me. I have offered my club more emotionally than Peter Lawell or Dermott Desmond ever will even if they were to both live for a thousand years.
So real your neck in and stop offering up baseless comments and groundless opinions about supporters and fans who are just pig sick of being cheated and\or do not wish to attend re-formed mince Old firm games.
If you are happy to waste your money supporting something that will soon again be fixed, watch your team being cheated weekly and all the while supported in this by our PLC then fair play to you. that is your choice.
Two.
What have Celtic PLC to do with resolution 12 and if they are involved please let me know what it is they are doing? Otherwise leave it up to the non-Celtic directors to carry this forward without FEAR or FAVOUR and stop giving credit where it is not due!

‘Is the answer to Rangers’ death and the football authorities’ unwillingness to address their cheating, to be so pissed off with the whole charade and for supporters to disengage to the level that our club effectively commits hari-kari.’
###
The problem, for me at least, I don’t know about anyone else, isn’t the cheating, or the cover up, or the authorities’ involvement, it’s Celtic’s complicity in the whole thing.
It just calls into question what it is your actually supporting. It’s certainly not the Celtic that I thought I knew.

You dont need to be big to be a good defender Cannavaro was small for a central defender but brave and committed
*So were Bertie Auld fan Franco Baresi and my first hero Bobby Evans.
Until the HMRC appeal is decided everything is on hold.
When(not if) it is confirmed that the millions in EBT were in fact ‘under the counter’ wages and NOT “never to be repaid loans’, then the ‘gloves can come off’
A dismissed appeal will PROVE wrongdoing, not only in the evasion of lawful tax, but in the registration of players’ contracts.
Those who constantly criticize Celtic for not ‘speaking out’ should consider these facts….and then reconsider.

Sweeping generalization. Have you taken time to canvas those who will be staying away from the hunfest?
I assure you my family and I since a sizable sum into Celtic FC as a PLC every year.
=====
No, and thats my point…nobody has.
If those staying away and I’m primarily referring to those staying away from CP for the reason that they believe Celtic to be supporting the continuation myth actually took some worthwhile action, even something as small as going to talk to JPT, this may help allay fears.
Some are very very quick to ‘chuck it’ with no positive action taken, preferring to bump their gums on here day in, day out.

Mr Pastry
I await the judgement, a guy in the borders got 5yrs in the slammer for 500k that should have been paid to HMRC, the unpaid tax on these EBT’s is much more Millions in some cases and should carry a custodial sentence, if not why not?

They’re a new club.
It doesn’t matter what happens in the hmrc case or in any of the other litigation, they’ll still be a new club.
So the ongoing court cases are no reason to delay confronting the lie that is the same club narrative.
Florida Bhoy on 7th March 2016 1:56 pm
I think Erik will prove to be our most effective and solid defender once he gets a further rest and a pre-season behind him. He has been thrown right into the thick of things in the middle of his last post season’s rest unfit, a few pounds over his match fit weight and probably even carrying a few long term knocks from the previous season. He has a crunching tackle, reads the game well, displays common sense and is comfortable on the ball. That will do me for now.
*sounds like a modern day John Clark who wisnae big either.

I’m not making any allegation, no crime was committed. Quite what the motivation would be to fabricate such info is clearly a thought which may have occured to those with way too much time on their hands.
Theoriginalsadiesbhoy,
Obviously such an attack would be followed up with the, I’ll be there expected from an old firm die hard, enjoy yourself, make your statement by turning up, you are content to financially support the old firm and the SFA that is the long and short of it. Abusing me for making it very simple for you does not excuse your actions, it is billed as an old firm game and by turning up you are supporting the old firm? It is an SFA competition pay them.
Will you be buying a Celtic/sevco scarf as a memento of your support.

Deary me, im not trying to psycho analyse your motivation, neither am i trying to get you arrested
You have claimed a poster or a number of posters on CQN have made a call to Celtic fans to head for the hills
I’m calling you out by stating there was no such post, there was no call made for Celtic fans to head for the hills
Put up or shut up

Can we do the puns again, that was more fun…

1. I didn’t say you offered Celtic nothing. I said a sizeable % offered nothing, NOT 100%. So perhaps when you are upset re-read what you are replying to, it’d change the whole direction of your response. I would certainly not be in doubt of your credentials and that was not a comment about those in your position.
2. My understanding is that Celtic were initially but only intiially dismissive of Res 12. I am not giving them credit but the process is ongoing. Nor are they going full tilt on OF propaganda and nor will they be.

I told you who to ask. You can read, yes?
Or did you ignore that like you conveniently ignored the rest of the post?!
Muddying the waters is a tactic put to good use by the numpties on here.
Craig Thomson is a cert to be the MIB in the semi,a reward for keeping the score down last season
I’m going to Semi final if I can get a ticket.
I’m far from a regular attended but I like the big games. How I chose to spend my money supporting Celtic is nobody’s business but mine.
As for Old or New we still have to beat them to win the cup. I believe they are a new team but let’s not pretend they don’t have same ground, same fans, same prejudice and same rivalry that Oldco had.
I want Celtic to gub them so I’ll be there if I can make it.
As I said in my previous post on the last thread this game for me is an acid test of Lawwell’s stewardship over the past 4 years…
Franco Baresi.

True. Very true.
Though I can’t help thinking it would be interesting to know what your psychoanalyst might make of your motivation to attend this particular fixture rather than any other.
Cults bhoy
you go to the shoaps and forget milk and its Peter Lawells fault!
This is not an acid test for anyone.It is a scottish cup semi against a team from a lower division who we have played once.now do not be associating my club in any way shape or form with them.To me it is an acid test for old firm fans like yourself who slaughter our club daily yet identify with that vermin

The reason the score was kept down was that, unforgivably, by accident or design, the Celtic team put the tools in the store at half time.

This isn’t a big game because of the opposition. It’s only significant because winning it will get us to the cup final.
