Great times for Celtic

822

It’s always encouraging to read positive comment on your club, so the positivity from a sports brand consultant at Brand Finance was welcome.  Apparently we are something of a commercial miracle, reaching parts no one else from a small country can come close to.

It’s also delightful hearing about glamour preseason friendlies (not quite announced yet, but coming).  We are a club with more than just history, we have a team the best in the world want to play.  We also have a future.

We have the league championship trophy in the boardroom, Champions League qualifiers to look forward to, and the sun is shining on Glasgow!

These are great times for Celtic.

    How’s that for a successful substitution? Leveling puts all his subs on – before they touch the ball, it goes from 2-1 to 4-1.

     

    Whittaker just had our first shot after 67 minutes. Almost hot the corner flag. We are shockingly, shockingly awful. I live here and I have to go to work on Tuesday and face colleagues who won’t understand why we are so bad.

     

    It’s now 5-1.

  2. never mind scotland does anyone think this meeting between peter lawell and charlie boy is happening or is it just spin?

  3. IniquitousIV on

    Howard off. Never touched the ball apart from taking an own goal out the net.

  4. Rascar Capac on

    USA look so much fitter and faster.

     

     

    Their confidence is off the scale.

  5. Bloke109 is Neil Lennon

     

     

     

    ok will talk scotland ya think maybe the sfa will ignore fifa regarding rfcia

     

    and the court case and want to be banished from football?

  6. Tricoloured Ribbon on

    So Scotland are getting hammered? Why are Celtic fans getting uptight on this blog when the SFA and SPL are doing their best to bring a shower of cheating scumbags back into the League?

  7. seriously a man who previously set up a team with no one up front

     

    in a match really should not be involved in football at all.

  8. IniquitousIV on

    Utter humiliation. No defense, no midfield, nothing up front. US now have their 3rd string players on. Even the reserves are yards faster than we are. Crowd is jeering and laughing at how God-awful we are.

     

    Levein bringing Berra and Mackail-Smith on.

    My support for the Scottish football team is not dependant on the behaviour of SFA or SPL. It’s just a ‘it’s my country’ thing.

     

    Can’t help it.

  10. Looking back here I notice arguments about religion. Redundant.

     

    Faith is personal.

     

    The worst trouble in the world is caused by religious fanatics on every side.

     

    Even Stalinist Communism became a twisted ‘religion’. Stalin was a failed seminarian after all.

     

    Hitler was a Catholic.

     

    Do you see what I’m getting at?

     

    The ethos at the core of RFCia is blind faith that they are the chosen ones and blind hatred of everything Catholic.

     

    We must defend ourselves,but not at the expense of personal faith.

     

    We are an inclusive club,and yesterday’s anniversary should remind us all that our greatest manager who kept his faith personal,abhorred bigotry and sectariansm,and loved Celtic F.C. with every fibre of his being.

     

    This is 2012 and we are a forward looking club.

     

    RFCia is still stuck in the 19th. Century. Let’s not get sucked down into the mire with them and the orange tendency festering in the body politic and media in Scotland. They are an anachronism,and the wind of change will blow like a gale when the extent of their corruption is fully exposed.

    Time was you could get 11 guys off the streets of Glasgow to beat the USA at football.

     

     

    Now decades of coaching thuggery, anti-football and a lack of professionalism have caught up with Scotland badly.

     

     

    Levein is a clown and should not be manager but those players need to be hammered for that.

  12. skyisalandfill,

     

    understandable but others like myself who are not scottish can revel in this

     

    because of the sfa,spl extension of rfcia being ridiculed because thats what

     

    it is and always has been.

    I’ll get back to the cheat Doncaster in 5 minutes. Meantime, I’ll endure this like a masochist until it’s done.

  14. skyisalandfill on

    danso

     

     

    I understand where you and others are coming from on this, but for me it’s kinda like kids. No nmatter what they do you still ‘bat’ for them.

     

    SFA/SPL can rot in hell but the team is my international team. Always will be.

    I’m surprised it finished only 5

     

     

    Levein will lead Scotland to more embarrassment shortly.

     

     

    Serbia, Croatia, Belgium, Macedonia and Wales will all gub this Scotland team and I honestly think they’ll finish bottom of the Section.

     

     

    Now that is a betting man’s dream.

  16. Must have been on plenty of money for playing that game, struggling to think of another reason why we took it on.

     

    Halfway round the world, end of season, heat, humidity, the result was a foregone conclusion, alas.

    After RTC won The Orwell Prize,the above should be compulsory reading for every orc who can manage that feat.

  18. Tricoloured Ribbon on

    Whilst I respect the support for yer country,both auspices,ie.SFA and SPL are doing their utmost to bring this shower of cheats,tax evaders and corrupt charlatans back into the equation..no no

  19. skyisalandfill,

     

    its only how i feel about the scottish establisment, but then i am irish

     

    so i understand your reasoning and have no problem with that,any way

     

    its no body’s business but your own who you wish to support.

  20. IniquitousIV on

    Tricoloured Ribbon:

     

    Yes, I read the article in tomorrow’s Scotsman that the SFA will shoehorn the Hvn Newco into the SPL. They will have to ignore –

     

    No accounts

     

    No license

     

    UEFA rules that any Club that takes it’s Association to civil court is immediately relegated

     

    Overwhelming evidence of double contracts, therefore illegal registrations.

     

    Yet that clown Doncaster thinks they have been punished enough?

     

    Ye Gods!!!!!

  21. James_Oregon on

    theweegreenman – No he’ll probably say that his “Rangers’ players had the current troubles at their club pre-occupying them therefore we should admit the club into the SPL to concentrate more on the national team.

     

    You can see the effect no huns would have on the national team.

     

    FFS!

  22. Great Times For Celtic says Paul67… And he is right.

     

     

    Scotland however..?

     

    Reaps what the Laird of the Mint has sown….

     

    And tha,t farmhands Chico Young, Is a SFA Fact.

  23. Well, after a loveley night out with Mrs Baldie I settld down t watch the Scotland perfromance and made the usual fateful mistake of pouring myself a (yet another) beer. Fell asleep at 3-1 and just woke up to turn to CQN for the final score. Beer now warm so time for my scratcher. Season now officially over.
