Europe a sideshow to league duty at Fir Park

1000

A Europa League tie against Rennes on Thursday would normally set midweek pulses racing but when Celtic have such a crucial game ahead in the fight for second place Neil Lennon has a major decision to make, does he rest players for the Motherwell game?

Sunday’s game at Fir Park is set to become one of the most important games of the season for Celtic and I’m sure Neil would prefer a clear midweek to prepare for it, but resting players, with the inherent increased chance of defeat, could further damage fragile morale.

Celtic need a confidence boosting win but they need heads focussed on beating Motherwell even more. The consequences of defeat on Thursday are unpleasant, but the consequences of defeat on Sunday are incalculable.

  1. By the time I was there (1970-1976) the girls at least were in the same classes as the boys. Girl power and all that.

    I heard what’s really going on between Fat Sally + Davie Weir today

     

     

    I hope the papers don’t hear about that, otherwise they will have a field day

    Caught me out again… but only because I saw you in the Ibrox creche with your mammy.

     

     

    I’m pretty sure I don’t need to explain this, however, for the avoidence of doubt. I’ve used two blog names, and never hidden it. When the new blog started my first post explained the change of name. I believe I was one of hundreds to do the same. Imatim, in common with a few other bog idiots have taken my acknowledgement of this fact as an admission of … of what in fact. How do you describe this admission? I’ll maybe ponder this.

     

    However he/she is right to note that my retirement has been relatively short lived. I even predicted that. That said, I’m not going to be around much, and I do believe this will be the last I engage with the trolls.

    I draw peoples attention to the words in bold. Can you imagine any Celtic man using those words.

     

     

    You’re not very clever battyboy, are you. Cheerio once again. <;-))

    Apology accepted. You caught me at the wrong time on wrong day with that one today. On another day I would have taken your joke as it was meant.

     

     

    Also. In my defence I wasn’t aware your comment regarding the Ward 6(whatever) was sincere. Thought it was just part of our banter or I would never have had commented. So my apologies to you. Hope you get well soon.

     

     

    Still strongly disagree with your opinion that you have the right to comment on rumours regarding any Celtic employee or other individual for that matter. Your point that you will discuss rumour, innuendo etc. as you would in the pub amongst friends is mute due to the private nature of those conversations and the public nature as well as anonymity of this blog. That’s a simple as it is.

     

     

    I will disagree with you based on my opinions and my want not to air our dirty linnin in public. I do not disagree with you due to a want to curry favour on the blog. Those who know me will tell you the MWD you get here is the same MWD you’ll meet in the pub. Honest, forthright and sometimes OTT with my sense of humour and wind ups.

  7. So the Milkybar kid is out for the season…

     

     

    Is it wrong to take so much joy in this little cretins injury?

     

     

    On the subject of Rennes on Thursday, I would give McCourt, Commons (if fit) and Sammy a run out. I would rest Ledley, Ki, and probably Hooper.

     

     

    We simply aren’t good enogh for this competition at this moment in time and it was a bonus getting in there in the first place. Rest players for Sunday which is a far more crucial game.

     

     

    The League has probably already gone but we need to fight like hell in every game from now on, and midweek games should not be a priority.

    Why would any Celtic fan wish to post what you did earlier? You mention about the press ‘finding out’ yet post such innuendo on one of the most looked at Celtic blogs in the world

     

     

    Again, why would you do that?

    No names are posted. It pains me the state the team is in right now and this fight may just prove a turning point but it’s not good.

     

     

    Don’t think the press are cruising this site for bits of rumours.

     

     

    If they want to find out they will from their best sources (The players).

  12. there is a so called txt message printed on kds forum, but like all things only the people involved can verify if anything happened.

    2010 Never Again

     

     

    Apparently things have taken a twist at Murray Park.

     

     

    It appears a memo has been circulated to the first team squad stating that it is the responsibility of the SFA to cover any player injured whilst actively involved in their official duties and NOT the club. There’s big trouble brewing I hear.

  14. I still think we have the nucleus of a good squad. We have had some horrendous injuries, but the the constant chopping and changing and playing players out of position just isn’helping.

     

    Lenny play players in their familiar positions as often as possible and if someone is injured or off form bring up one of the youngsters to deputise. At least everyone is playing in a recognised position and you get a gradual integration of youth and experience. You never know youth enthusiasm might even inspire the under acheivers. After sitting in abject misery on saturday im willing to try anything but moving players about is not working its only weakening the team more.

     

    Oh on the naibalance issue he’s welcome to everything he gets. What goes around etc etc.

     

    hh lbb

  15. Evening bhoys, been warm today, and still hun free.

     

     

    So now we have fighting at training, anything to divide us, anything to take the attention away from the hun demise.

  16. We need to field our strongest team (whatever that is) in all games. If we win our next two European games at home (tall order of course) and so do Udinese, then I think both of us would go through.

    Well, that’s not actually true is it?

     

     

    I could post unflattering rumours about you and claim I heard it from an impeccable source.

     

     

    You would probably take umbrage at that unless you lead a very dull life.

     

     

    But when was the last time anyone watched new episodes of Captain Scarlet or Joe 90?

  19. I’m glad Naismith is out for the season for 2 reasons- first I think that he is a very effective player, and if it wasnt for his odious personality I wouldnt have minded him in our team- his personality is the other reason I’m glad he’s out- you reap what you sow- and his injury came about as a result of him trying to injure an opponent. As for the text rumours maybe they are false, maybe they are true, but as they possibly concern our team then I think they at least merit a mention on here- dont censor discussion just because its negative about our team

    I have not mentioned names. If I am wrong I will be forever reminded but a fight on a training ground is not always a bad thing for team morale.

     

     

    What I would say is that the press will have a field day. The result of that may be that the players bind together and show some unity. Time will tell.

  22. Eyes Wide Open on

    Id hope there will be non stop fighting all week to be honest.

     

     

    Id hope there are some within the dressing room who in all their entirety are desperate to win with Celtic. If there are – then there should be no more frustrated a men than them, at their team mates whom they know can do a helluva lot better if they had the same balls and will to win.

     

     

    In that case – my own frustration would be found when I next went to tackle that team mate in training.

     

     

    If Lennoxtown was a bed of roses full of mates having a laugh and joke amongst eachother, playing pranks and just being themselves this week – id want each and every one of them replaced in the 1st team.

  23. Mods please delete philvisreturns @17.21

     

     

    That type of slanderous post has no place on this blog

  24. I heard a rumour today.

     

    At least I think it was a rumour.

     

    Got it by text.

     

    Concerns a bit of gossip.

     

    At least I think it was gossip.

     

    Unconfirmed at the minute.

    Anyone interested?

    No need to name them. The press will do that when this comes out and it will. If the players are so close to the journalists as people say then this won’t be swept under the carpet.

    Thank you for your apology and no offence taken I appreciate that some of my posts are somewhat wicked in nature and may cause offence

     

    So sorry again

     

    As for my posts as far as I am aware i have never named names or have been specific as regarding a particular occurrence I do admit however to innuendo that leaves the reader to make up their own mind

     

    I believe you may communicate with Kingoh,who was in touch today, on an other communications medium if so please feel free to contact him and ask him to let you know what I sent him which was borne out of personal contact and experience and let me assure you that the incident i described to him is not an isolated one

    On rumours and innuendos ….

     

     

    What is the “public interest” in these rumours? Eah? Explain to me HOW we benefit as Celtic fans from knowing this stuff, whether it’s true or false or whatever?

     

     

    Is there any benefit to be had in spreading a story like this? ANY? Even the act of putting a rumour like that on this site gives this man’s enemies an excuse to think the worst.

     

     

    Shame on some of you. It’s disgusting.

    I was joking about the fighting although some of them had a right hard stare.
