Over the summer I could frequently be heard muttering, “We need a left back”. Despite returning from injury at the turn of the year, Emilio Izaguirre was unable to command a regular starting place in the team. His occasions starts provided evidence why. With Charlie Mulgrew the most authoritative central defender in the squad the left back slot looked like our most vulnerable position.
Emilio’s early form this season was no better, especially in the Champions League qualifiers, but recent weeks has seen the player return to his very best. His confidence seems to have returned as he is taking opponents on with purpose which had been missing for over a year.
On this form, we can look forward to seeing him test himself at the Camp Nou.

Question ….
Your club is rooted to the bottom of the Scottish game. You have just secured a result against the team the media seems to think is still a superpower. The press is hollering that it’s the worst result in their history, and one of the best in yours.
You get through to Radio Clyde. Do you:
1) Talk about how brilliant your team was, and how it’s the start of a great comeback?
2) Praise the attitude of everyone connected with your club and say it’s one of the best days you can ever remember as a fan?
3) Come on to praise the opposition’s fans, officials and chairman, drooling like a fanboy over what gentlemen they all were, in stark contrast to a mountain of online information suggesting the contrary, and the knowledge of every football fan in Scotland?
Only on Clyde would someone get away with doing the 3rd and not be asked why he’s not on talking about “his” team.
Is it just me who thinks he WAS talking about his team?

Evening all. Broke the habit of a lifetime and listened to Clyde this evening in the car. It was tuned to Clyde when I turned it on (honest!!); so, I decided to leave it on. It was worse than I thought. The “supporters” of thon deid team are beyond ridicule. They exist on another planet altogether. They still seem to have no idea of what has happened and is happening and has still to happen to their deid and new team.
I won’t be tuning in again in a hurry.

Good evening friends. A happy house tonight I hope?

BSR -lookin’ cool and in complete control of high performing machinery.
Also part of the CQN demographic.
the Media have lied to them for so long that they don’t know what to believe any more and they can’t think for themselves so they still believe the lies, I’m sure there’s a good Social Studies paper in this, The herd mentality and how easy it is to fool the masses, its only football but wow they really are fooled. Might hit when they get liquidated. Doubt it, even after Saturday still making excuses.

Recession my arse most folk know why the attendances are falling but haven’t got the haw maws to admit it on here. Speak to any supporter who has given up their season ticket since last season and face reality.
There is a recession and every pound is a prisoner.
Anyone who struggles to appreciate that is either a genuine billionaire or on the troll.
Might be even more profound, two bodies cant occupy the same place in space
and time. On one hand they have to accept their dead, on the other they have
just been born, so no wonder they`re confused.
Star trek is so educational

I speak to plenty and I know that a lot will state some other reason than the recession.
I don’t contradict them but it does not mean that I believe them either. It’s very hard to tell your mates that you cannot go because you cannot afford it or your wife tells you that money is needed elsewhere and then be met with “C’mon man it’s the Celtic, you’ve got to go!”.
There may be a few who say that they don’t go because Rangers aren’t there but there’s no many in my circle who are saying that. I’m guessing you have a few friends who do think that way.
I heard earlier today a story that one of the Stirling players had dropped out of the senior game and was playing lower level and working part time before coming back to the senior game.
His part time job was as a Cameraman with the, ahem, gentleman’s interests station, Babestation.
This comedy stuff just writes itself.

Would the early kick off have impacted on the crowd for fans who had to travel a distance?
Irish and English based fans, for example.
I think Brian Allison needs to bin those oinion jock cushions he has ASAP!!
Gents
Getting the CL. Group stages and the extra expense that goes with it will have had an impact
The KO. Time wouldn’t have suited some …..I wasn’t there …normally wouldn’t miss a Hearts game ….couldn’t get there for 12-45 with what I had on

The size of the crowd vs Hearts on a Sunday lunchtime kick off was very heartening. Most UK clubs would be jealous of the match day revenue we raise from regular attenders.
Having said that, mickbhoy is right that we do not enjoy SB sales of 50k plus any more so we are not making as much as we could. The era of 60k sell outs was a fairly short lived phenomena but these things go in cycles and, if we got a new competitive environment, we might need to add capacity.
Anyway time to kick off a wee political debate before I head off to the pub
Sunday GB banner Celtic Cross set upon a red background
Enlighten me as to the red background as its not on the commemorative strip which everyone was so keen to sing the praises of
Didn’t expect a big crowd yesterday. Not all ST holders live within an hour or two travel to CP and an early Sunday k.o. is a big turn off.
Don’t understand the paranoia regards crowd figures.
Timbhoy2 has outlived its usefulness and needs to move on and allow another halfwit to move in. The halfwit who has moved in tonight isnae very good b.t.w.
Sorry but what was the crowd yesterday?

The impact of Tony Mowbray did more to reduce average crowds than a team from Govan’s disappearance.
We seem to be at the tail end of a phenomenal 12 out of 15 years with average crowds at 50k+, never in our history has crowds been so high over such a prolonged period.
Jeez guys, what wee world do you inhabit if you don’t think that disposable income (or the lack of) does not impact on attendances at CP????????

I’m sure there were 2 trumpeters sitting together right behind the Lisbon Lion goal.
Can anyone confirm this , I also saw the Craig Thompson twins reffing the game.
I knew I wasn’t imagining it! I heard them but didn’t see them.
Sorry if this is already posted but, I’ve just been told UTV are doing a piece on Wee Oscar after the news this evening.

Thank you, I genuinely think that’s incredible for a Sunday lunch time ko.
Take into account that times are indeed tough and that many amongst the Celtic support are saving for excursions to Europe then it makes it even more remarkable.

no,its a local story but you can get UTV on sky regional channels

I don’t think where you are travelling from has an impact especially with a Sunday lunchtime kick off my cousin travels up from Leeds and still managed and that’s getting out of bed at half six
Now there were near on 48000 at Celtic park for a Champions league game at 1945 hours on a Wednesday night in the middle of a working week which I am sure you will agree is a lot more difficult to attend if you we’re English or Irish based
Even the junior Huns never brought through yesterday as many as they used too

Thanks, good to see you again auld yin ;-)
‘Trolling’ is the biggest participation sport on the Internet, and second only in the UK to the original ‘fishing’ which is the biggest participation sport excluding the fish, whom if they were asked wouldn’t be that ‘chipper’ with the accolade anyway.
