  1. Hello again all you young rebels.

     

     

    Notice the nightshift howlers are getting a bit of stick because

     

    of their absence the last couple of nights well here i am just so

     

    you U.K. ghuys can get up in the morn. and scroll back and

     

    scrutinise our nonsense .

     

    First up , what can i say about our travelling bhoys, that support

     

    in turkey was incredible considering we were out and the volatile

     

    and violent night expected well , chapeau.

     

    The team, well its where we are until somebody comes up with a

     

    reasonable way to keep every team on a financial level playing

     

    field and then you will see our advantage of a massive worldwide

     

    support kick in and believe me here in Oz if i walk along the beach

     

    with the grand kids i won’t get far until somebody wants to talk

     

    about the hoops

     

    Just watched the game again and i thought with a Victor W. or going

     

    back a Bobby M. it was a game we would have won .

     

    Now the big question?

     

    Do we stick or twist with Ronnie ?

     

    I’m of the opinion that Ronnie needs to get the players that he

     

    believes will fulfil his ambition to be successful in Europe is that what

     

    is happening, i don’t think so, does he put his neck on the line and

     

    demand it, who knows? time will tell.

     

    Finally, i gave a bit of stick to big Boyata the last europa game about

     

    ducking when a free kick came towards him and a goal was scored

     

    well i thought his commitment against Fener was better i see

     

    a player trying and that will do for me.

     

    O.k. you dayshift palefaces i’m out to pose on the sands with my princess

     

    pick the negatives out of that.

  2. Did i tell you about the time i was trying to find my way in Oz

     

    and missing the Gallowgate and going to Celtic park etc. and

     

    an Aussie said to me.

     

    ” You guys don’t just miss Scotland, the Celtic thing seems to be

     

    obsessive.

     

    Yup.

    As the old cliche goes :

     

    Perhaps not disgruntled

     

    Not,however entirely gruntled.

    Where’s Herbo when you need him?

     

     

    :-)))

     

     

    ==============================================

     

     

    Yep.

     

    Let`s shut down the nightshift again.

  5. Right nae’bodies postin so just before i go and swim wae the sharks

     

    ” thats the wimmin by the way” as I’ve said before we’ll be a force in the

     

    future, trust me, cos I’ve got the auld time experience good and bad to

     

    forecast that.

  6. Watched the game earlier, crying out for two front men, and not that lump of wood they call shiftkey.

     

    We need to build from the back especially for Europe, 2 upfront and a solid back three combined with a midfield four with one no nonsense type and three footballers

     

     

    Simple

    Watching the game now,mate.

     

    3mins………great save Craig.

     

    Touches onto the post.

     

    Didn`t read about that in the updates.

  8. ....PFayr supports WeeOscar on

    Macjay

     

     

    That was a run of the mill save which he almost missed

     

     

    Gordon was superb last season ….liability this

     

     

    Very similar to Johansen

     

     

    Add the loss of VVD and Denayer and the replacing them with vastly inferior players…

     

     

    Little wonder we’re in bother this season

  9. macjay1 for Neil Lennon on

    GREENSIDEUP-GBWO on 11TH DECEMBER 2015 4:17 AM

     

     

    Don`t disagree with any of that.

     

    However,for me a crucial save.

     

     

    Confident.Yes.

     

    Who provides confidence?

     

    Self belief.

     

    Who`s job is that?

     

    Hard to provide it when you don`t have it.

     

    And Ronny doesn`t.

     

     

    So far…….

     

    Actually,contrary to other opinions,I like the way Jo Hansen is getting stuck in.

  10. macjay1 for Neil Lennon on

    .PFAYR SUPPORTS WEEOSCAR on 11TH DECEMBER 2015 4:24 AM

     

     

    Confidence springs from the coach.

     

    Perhaps that`s the source of the problem

     

    Neither has become a bad player.

     

    What explains their loss of form?

     

     

    Have another look at the save 3 mins. in.

     

    Run of the mill?

     

     

    The loss of Denayer and V.V.D. was a huge loss. Particularly V.V.D.

     

    My understanding is that it could not be prevented. ie. part of sign-on agreements.

     

     

    Actually,I`m comfortable with our new pairing.Boyata seems to have imp[roved his passing and Simunovic will ,I feel,step up.

     

     

    Any road up,we got 6 months of preparation.

     

    We`ll need it.Particularly if Ronny stays.

  11. macjay1 for Neil Lennon on

    Greensideup-GBWO

     

     

    Jo.

     

     

    He is suffering a form slump.

     

    However.We have needed a get in you face midfielder ( hatchet man in my day ) for some time.

     

    Particularly with Broonie side-lined.

  12. Just like to say some of the comments about Craig Gordon have been very harsh.

     

     

    Craig was excellent and possible our player of the year last year.. This season he has 3 new defenders in front of him… His shot stopping is generally his best assist.

     

     

    Coming out for crosses or to intercept long balls his decision making/bravery is questionable . As we seen at inter and last night .

     

     

    He was a free transfer ..he will like every player have his weak spots.

     

     

    I’m glad we have Craig but do agree Bailey deserves a couple games.. Or is he another back up that is not at all trusted only there for real emergencys

  13. macjay1 for Neil Lennon on

    proudbhoy on 11th December 2015 4:41 am

     

     

    Yep.

     

    Agreed.

     

    He`s not suddenly a bad keeper.

     

    Replacing him now may adversely affect his confidence.

     

    I would ” rest him” later .

  14. macjay1 for Neil Lennon on

    24 mins.

     

    Ciftci

     

    Should have buried it BUT great defensive tackle.

     

    Needs to be quicker in Europe.

  15. MACJAY1

     

     

    G’day mhate

     

    Don’t know what to make of Cifti when he played against us

     

    what a pain in the buhooky but now he seems so slow and just

     

    not up to Celtic speed but i’m a patient ghuy cos i thought when

     

    i saw Paul Elliot in his first game in a pre season game in

     

    Germany was more like Bambi on ice how wrong was i.

     

    H.H Mick

  16. Proudbhoy

     

     

    I agree with you regards big Gordon He’s a great keeper and when i look

     

    back on the old games on utube etc. i always thought nobody could emulate

     

    the late great Ronnie Simpson but when you see some of the howlers he

     

    made during his time of excellence i suppose it brings you back to reality.

     

    H.H Mick

  17. I just watched the game courtesy of an excellent quality transmission from Celtic TV.

     

    Well apart from the technical problem in the 42nd minute.

     

    I thought we were well outplayed until they had a man sent off.

     

    Considering how the ref was leaning I’m surprised he used his red card.

     

    Gordon’s mistake was a poor one considering the rest of his performance.

     

    Why can’t we master the simple craft of passing a ball to a team mate 10 yards away?

     

    Enough of negatives for now.

     

    Tierney once again showed he is a star in the making.

     

    James Forrest continues to show signs of a form revival.

     

    Allan though a wee bit flimsy looking seems to have an eye for an incisive pass.

     

    Some development time could see him be our creative midfielder to replace Commoms.

     

    And now to Nadir.

     

    He’s not going to make a striker for us.

     

    He’s a cart horse and I know Clydesdales everywhere will be offended by that.

     

    Just find another club somewhere.

     

    I wonder if United would accept him back as he clearly fails,the trade description act.

     

    Hopefully our young players will benefit from the experience and Santa will send a striker down the chimney to take the weight off Griffiths.

     

    Preparation for CL quallies starts in Perth Sunday.

     

    We need to blood the likes of Tierney, Nesbitt, Allan, Rogic, Forrest, GMS alternating games to provide experience and understanding.

     

    It’s not a bad outlook as we compete on three fronts for honours this season.

     

    Dear Santa, All we want for Christmas is a striker, and our Captain’s early return.

  18. As regards are we a big team or a minnow in world football?

     

    and just because we are cannon fodder at the moment its

     

    the same with many big teams from the past Benfica, Feyenoord,

     

    Inter Milan etc, but they will never have what we had and still have.

     

    whats that you ask?

     

    What else but the Celtic support, the twelfth man the inspiration

     

    that keeps our club alive and you realise that, when you wander

     

    into a little town in the middle of nomark Australia and see a big

     

    Glasgow Celtic flag thats when you know what the meaning of

     

    first love is although my princess will have issues with that statement

  19. All we need now is a weather report and who better than

     

    Jobo Baldie .

     

    C,mon man things aint the same without you.

    Mate.

     

    I remember when Stevie Chalmers was a diddy.

     

     

    There is a fragility about our beloved team right now.

     

    I won`t labour the point. Again.

     

    Up to half time ,Ciftci is no worse than any other Celtic player.

     

     

    You are obviously a huge asset to the Antipodean Tim mob.

     

    One thing…………..Haven`t heard from our brother Summa of Sammi for a while.

     

    He`s based in Melbourne.

     

    Keep an eye out.

  21. Macjay1

     

    yes i know what you are saying, i still can’t forgive some fans giving

     

    Jinky stick, but thats what happens when your a fan and know what

     

    you think should be done with a ball and you can’t do it yourself.

     

    H.H Mick

     

    Cmon Jobo.

    =======================

     

    I remember that too.

     

    And Dalglish.

     

     

    Stinkin` hot in Sydney right now.

     

    The fridge beckons.

     

     

    B.T.W.

     

    Sydney C.S. barbecue tomorrow.

     

    Centennial Park.

     

     

    All welcome.

     

    Nae huns.

  23. I can’t comment on the first half as I only got to see the second half.

     

     

    Nigel Benn (One of the Bravest boxers ever) Lennon had Celtic players running through brick walls for him and getting the maximum out of everyone in his, old Skool Style…. In the Really Big Games.

     

     

    We were still missing out on lots of Silverware though, Ronny is Driving players hard, and they should be, because they are Privileged to play for Celtic, and very well rewarded for it as well.

     

     

    Ronny is losing the Really Big Games at the moment but He is still picking up the Silverware as he changes things.

     

     

    Keep the Faith.

     

     

    As ever, I could be wrong, noone can be perfected, no matter how any Man tries. But there is Something about Ronny.

  24. MACJAY1

     

     

    Would have loved to be there, been in your club so many times

     

    and its always been packed, maybe I’ve spoke to you what other club

     

    in the world can claim the same. answer…. none.

     

    H.H Mick

     

    Jobo.. Jobo.. Jobo.. Jobo.. Jobo.

  25. macjay1 for Neil Lennon on

    Mick.

     

     

    Mate.

     

    You and I have the privilege of watching a new batch of Downunda Tims taking their place.

     

    We`re doing our job.

     

     

    Summa …..Summa …….Summa

    YOU keep the faith, pal.

     

    Celtic.

     

    Keep well,Pete.

  27. MACJAY1

     

     

    Yes sometimes i think my grandson is more fervent than i ever was

     

    but he’s never even been to Celtic park and when a big Sudaneese bhoy

     

    with the hoops on ( weemhan gave him them ) then starts a COYBIG then

     

    you know our love will carry on.

     

    H.H Mick

  28. Give me joy in my heart give me Jobo!

     

     

    PS thought the Griff looked great last night!!!

     

     

    HH jamesgang

  29. Thank God the Celtic drew last night and didny get beaten….smug-hun-zombies are starting to make my skin crawl.

     

    Anyway, I hope all the Celtic fans who went last night got home safe and well.

     

    A draw away from home in Europe is normally looked upon as a bonus point but, as we were oot it didny make any difference apart from avoiding the rid neck of another skelping.

     

    Some folk having issues with Ciftci ?

     

    Ye see, it’s like this….Nadir is a striker….strikers are dependent on, chances…how many chances did Nadir have ?…How many did he miss ?….How many did he score ?

     

    Simple really, without trying to sound like one of yon, conceited-know-all-types….if, strikers are badly managed….who’s fault is that ?…A Celtic team playing with one striker is, a p#sh Celtic team, managed by a p#sh manager…who’s only in the hot seat coz, he’s a compliant puppet…that is all.

     

    Why did Lenny leave ?

     

    Why did Roy Keane run a like hell out the Parkhead gates ?

     

    If, going by the speculation on the blog, John Collins will be leaving ?…Is it because he’s refused the puppet-strings ?

     

    Sadly….it’s a simple as this, Celtic FC are being pillaged from within….only the Celtic support can stop this.

     

    Do you want to stop it ?

     

    Do you want to look the other way ?

     

    Lets all laugh at Rangers ?

     

    Is that it ?

     

    Folk were wondering where the huns got the £5 million to pay MASH ?

     

    My guess ?….The Common Wealth Games money from Celtic Park….it didny re-appear back onto the Celtic Park pitch so, my guess is that, the boards plan was….get all the mugs looking away and…we’ll bung our auld pals oot!

     

    Canny prove it but…I can smell it.

     

    Celtic Football Club….an institution that can make dreams come true or, break the hardest of hearts…are in free-fall…as the deid huns slip off a number of hooks….watch the attendances at Celtic Park….so sad.

     

    …..Off oot…..
