There was a spring in the step this morning as we look forward to Celtic taking to the field for the first time under Brendan Rodgers against Slovenians, NK Celje.
While the usual caveats apply – we’re unfit and will look it, the manager doesn’t really know the players yet – it will be interesting to see the formation, and how it contrasts to Ronny’s reign. I would also look out for wee clues as to how we will play, like how the keeper distributes the ball, and where the full backs play.
16 years ago Martin O’Neill took his team to the Netherlands and was well beaten, but he returned to Amsterdam a few weeks later, where he ripped up the form book, so don’t get too stressed by what might happen later.
Once in a lifetime opportunity……
There are rare experiences and then there are extremely rare experiences, but the chance to appear in the Celtic team photo is incredibly rare.
Thanks to Malorbhoy, we have a £5-a-ticket raffle to win the chance to appear in your very own team photo, alongside the Celtic players and management at the preseason photocall for 2016-17.
You will then meet treble winning captain, Tom Boyd, who will give you a personal tour of Celtic Park.
Celtic will provide you with a strip, which you will retain, and you will receive your team photograph, framed and signed by the team, on a specially prepared mount.
This is an incredible experience for any Celtic fan.
Your donations go to Celtic FC Foundation, to support their work in Health, Equality, Learning and Poverty. The Foundation deliver often life-changing support and opportunities to children and adults in Scotland, Ireland, the rest of the UK and in many needy areas of the globe.
Many thanks and good luck!

Ibra joined Man U
:-(
========================
It’s his loss.
Big Bones, Would your first name be Seamus by any chance.
CORKCELTIC
No afraid not
HH BB
Big Bones,
Believe it or not I know about the glove story and the surname of the lad involved, knowing you did time in the Maze, I put two and two together & got five. You probably know the man I was thinking about.
info req’d is the game tonight @ 6:45 Celtic Park time? Thanks. H H Hebcelt
Pastry….Dream on, you cast iron intellectual.
Everybody knows your game.
I demand you cease your BS.
I agree with the Bhoys….You aint no Celtic supporter.
So…do us a favour.
Feck off.
HebCelt. Sausages are being advised at 6.45 so I assume 6.45 is correct.
CORKCELTIC
I know the Seamus who you are referring to,a Great Escaper?
hh bb
HEBCELT
Yes. HH
Yep Big Bones that is the man.
Corkcelt…Bigbones

‘Vivid Faces: The Revolutionary Generation in Ireland 1890-1923’…R.F. Foster’
Very good it is.
HH
CORKCELTIC

Must check it out
Cheers for the heads up

Afternoon gentlemen,
Really excited about the new season
Can’t wait till we get the chance to sing to Brendan in person. Although the tele will have to do tonight.
Great story Big Bones I remember it well. Not many like that published aboutus
HH
Well Big Bones, a lot of people do say I have an amazing memory for things that happened years ago but at the same time would find it difficult to recall what happened yesterday. Re the Glove story I actually read something somewhere about it last year which refreshed it in my mind.
One final guess and I’ll leave you alone, initials J.P.

Yes indeed

Couldn’t agree more.
The guy is nothing more than an attention seeker.
Just don’t give him any attention.

Ibra joined Man U
And to think that there were some folk on here keeching themselves in the expectation that he would have joined us.
Have always shared MON’s view of him.

Normally I get ignored so you ‘re ok
No, the first one is correct

Being reported that Celtic will welcome VfL_Wolfsburg to Celtic Park in a friendly on 16th July.
So Boris, having thrown the country into chaos, lacks the balls to follow it through.
To paraphrase the Grand Old Duke of York.
He marched them up to the top of the hill only to find that he had left a swampful of shite that he could not march them down again through.
Scoundrels to a man.

I said when Cameron resigned that BJ wouldn’t get the job. The Tories don’t like treachery much.
The way it’s panning out,looks like May v Fox. And Fox has been busy in the constituencies the last few years.
Both attended Catholic schools,btw. May only for a short time.
You have me beaten Big Bones, so as promised I’ll leave you alone. The second man I was referring to was from Letterkenny, you probably know him as well.
BMCUW
May is the daughter of a C of E minister or vicor or whatever
BIGBONES
Some tale about yer lad. Fair play to Gould as well.

Smell the glove 0:) HH
If you are watching Celtic tonight,be careful that the advertised 645pm isn’t local time.
Or 545 here.
Just a thought…
BLANTYRETIM
I know. But as I said,she attended a Catholic school for a while.

Ha! He still has it
And the great memories that go with it.
Although he still goes to games with me,and loves Celtic,lost him to peer pressure and the EPL
Bmcuw
Aye so she can be PM then!
That’ll get Ernie out of his slumber ;-)
What are you saying Bobby?. Is the game not at 6.45 Celtic Park time?.
Celtic TV say streaming starts in 17 mins.
