Foregone conclusion territory

1955

I don’t know about you but practically every football thought I have at the moment is connected to where we go next. The small matter of winning the league title has slipped into ‘foregone conclusion’ territory, which is always dangerous.

The players will be no different from the rest of us, but they will have more on their minds. A change of manager is likely to mean a new system, and new squad requirements. They need to focus on making the best of the next five games. One thing that has been reassuring this week is Ronny Deila’s comments. His professional pride is clear; he’ll apply himself fully to the task in hand until the end of the season.

Eyes on the task of winning the league, as soon as possible.

    Crass at the most base level and disgusting. Go look in the mirror and if a paedophile looks back then you go praise the huns sick humour with buckets of emphatic content.

     

     

    Pathetic. What is wrong, are you not getting enough attention elsewhere?

    ‘However they taken a solid unrelenting beating for 4 years’

    Not from Celtic FC they haven’t.

     

     

    They’ve had nothing but support and encouragement.

     

     

    And when the dust settles Peter Lawwell’s long term contribution to Celtic will be having saved the concept of the Old Firm.

     

     

    He hasn’t done in singly handedly of course, but he has played a significant role.

     

     

    Well done that man.

  3. Its Henrick for me. Stands out above all. He wants to do it. He has a playing cv of the very top order. He coached himself into maximiseing his talent.

     

    He’s intellgent and atriculate. He’s no-bodies fool. He knows how the SMSM operate . They never caught him out as a player ,he was too smart for them. Hes even cut his managerial teeth with smaller clubs.

     

    Plenty of huge clubs have successfully promoted top players direct to head coach. Cruyff – Zidane -Souness?!? – ect.

     

    What he achieved on the park for Celtic can never be taken away .

    Jobo

     

     

    One of my pals is a Skoda nut. He’s got a 4×4 Yeti, a VRS Octavia and. 1.2 Fabia that his son uses.

     

     

    He even wears a pink Skoda Lycra cycling outfit ..

     

     

    He raves about Fabia which I’ve been in and is very nice – he has a black one with black wheels which is well knitted out.

  5. BAMBOO

     

     

    If Henrik gets the gig I’d like to see Steve Clarke as his assistant.

     

     

    Clarke’s record indicates he is better as an assistant then being the top man.

     

     

    Agree, Henrik has vast experience at every level and……………….who knows?

    I hear you re Celtic FC / Lawwell….

     

     

    However I’m referring to fans. All fans have given Newc0 followers it tight for years…..

     

     

    At some point they were going to bite back

    It is only my opinion that the authorities should have taken action regarding the banner .

     

    As for no one being named in the banner – Was anyone named in the zombie banner displayed at Celtic Park a few years ago ? Celtic FC were charged (and eventually cleared ) regarding it .

     

    Anyway my main point was that someone on here was praising the banner as being part of a better TIFO than ours !!

     

    Sorry ,but that just astounds me .

    Perhaps if Celtic FC hadn’t gone along with the lie the fans wouldn’t be so obsessed with the issue.

  9. Stevie Clarke must be a yes man if Lawwell has him on a short list.

     

     

    Any selection process with Lawwell involved is null and void. He has taken Celtic to lowest level in the last 10 years and must be sacked.

     

     

    No manager who is ambitious can take a job with our control freak CEO who runs the club from A-Z.

     

     

    His legacy will be the Celtic Way—-and the generation of downsizing.

     

     

    Still silence on the big picture from Paul67. Nothing he can say will help his sponsor until the environment changes—which means a new manager announced.

     

     

    Then the PR campaign will go into full flow with a small circle discussion with Lawwell for some CQN guys. Then the signing rumours plus the SB hard sell. The game plan is being prepared to keep Lawwell in power—- today’s herald headline was a starter for 10.

     

     

    Questions for Lawwell

     

     

    Over the last 10 years have you developed the club ?

     

     

    Why do we have 50 players?

     

     

    Who signs the players ?

     

     

    Why are you rewarded for CL failure when every other part of the club downsizes ?

     

     

    Why are you still here ?

     

     

    The questions for Dermot

     

     

    Are you still interested in developing the club ?

     

     

    If , yes then why has Lawwell not been sacked.

     

     

    If yes, what is the go forward plan.

     

     

    If no, what is your exit plan to leave the club with solid custodians going forward.

     

     

     

    Lawwell should never have hired RD 2 years ago and hung onto him a year longer than necessary. Grotesque errors of judgement do not deserve to be rewarded.

     

     

    Good luck to CFC today. As mentioned earlier today myself and bhoys are giving Paradise a miss for the first time in a long time.

     

     

    One final point Bankier must go too. His attitude towards the fans at AGM showed up an arrogant little twat who knows nothing about the club.

  10. And with a mighty leap, Mckenna crashes through the looking glass to an alternative reality.

     

     

    “..a Rangers team that, following financial ruin and liquidation. . . ”

     

     

    Closely followed by: “I welcome Rangers back to the top flight of Scottish football.. .”

     

     

    Yeah, Kevin , on ye go, just ignore the meaning of words and any sense of logic. Fits well with any article on a match in which a 4 year old club was appearing in its 53rd Scottish Cup semi-final.

     

     

    Farce.

  11. What kind of deranged bigot decides to make a banner point scoring on child abuse and then makes said banner thinking it’s funny and clever then carries said banner to a football game to show it off??

     

     

    And what kind of Police force obsessed with people being offensive at football let this banner fly for hours and hours to be seen by the many millions watching the game all over the world??

     

     

    And what kind of Tim comes on here and says their tifo was f***ing magic..

     

     

    FFS

     

     

    Downsizing look no further than CQN…

  12. My gasto is absolutely flabbered.

     

     

    Singing or displaying banners about Pedophiles is the lowest of the low. It should never be tolerated never mind praised.

  13. Big decision for me in the summer, seriously thinking about walking away.

     

     

    But for today and the 2 other home games I’ll be there to give the bhoys a cheer.

    Post of the day, sir. Well said.

     

     

    Perhaps FOCUS should have gone to Specsavers.

    Sorry, Starry’s post was 10.23h. The clock on this pad needs resetting – a bit like me.

    What was Rembrandt’s first name?

     

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

     

     

    That is his first name.

     

     

    What`s his surname ?

  17. FAVOURITE UNCLE on

    harmenzoon van rijin………………according to my wife……..who obviously married someone below her level.

     

     

     

    known as HAMMY to his mates.

  18. McJay

     

     

    Rembrandt Rembrandt?

     

     

    So that’s where Neville Neville got it!!

     

     

    Not sure about the surname but he came van Rijn.

  19. FAVOURITE UNCLE on

    he had his wife put away saying she was mad.and rumour is his son did all the paintings.

     

     

    sorry we now think it was his bit on side who was stuck away.

    I was just about to leave Arbroath for the game at Celtic Park today. Judging by the lack of comment on such an event, I am concerned that I have the wrong day. Anyway, I will take a chance and make my way to Glasgow.

     

    Cheerio,

  21. Not quite flushed last week from my system but hoping today will get rid of it.

    Lucky Cody

     

     

    Agree 100%

     

     

    Another myth to be explored ‘ Lawwell rejected better offers to stay at the club he loves – we should be grateful’

     

     

    Who in their right mind would walk away from any easy guaranteed £1m/ year to anywhere else that would require VISION . His biggest failing has been a complete lack of vision brought about by risk free decision making.

     

     

    I want a visionary CEO who exploits Celtic potential , grows the business and manages risk.

  23. Alisdair Maclain Were you in our company the first time Ross County ever played us in the big League? Wee gadgie pulled me up aboot my Dubs top at a fitba match. I politely pointed out to him that he was also wearing a “County”top!

  24. Delaneys Dunky on

    Nice day for the fitba. Hope as many Tims as possible go to Paradise and support the Bhoys to 5 in a row.

    Well if your wife kept interrupting by complaining that the living room needed freshening up, while you were painting ‘The Night Watch’, what would you do??

  27. Stairheedrammy on

    A 16 year old Celtic supporter with no previous was remanded for a banner saying simply feck the huns. I don’t think that was overly specific in naming anyone, but it warranted the full focus dawn raid treatment and full on pf pressure.

  28. An Teach Solais on

    CULTSBHOY,

     

     

    I was interested in your statements. You have obviously good experience in preparing business cases and I would be genuinely interested if you could (a) be bothered and (b) find the time to expand on the points so well expressed. Perhaps, get Paul 67 to have an article on the blog as a template for our esteemed Board.

     

    There is certainly opportunities out there and for my part I, and, am sure, others, would be interested in hearing how these might be progressed.

     

    Leaving for the game now so may not be able to respond for a while.

    Well , see.

     

    That`s where we differ.

     

     

    I do care.

     

    And I would sure be giving more credence to Ronny than to you.

     

     

    Actually a lot more.
