BSR, good point. I watched it on CTV, £19.99 per month plus the currency charge, you can only have it outside the UK. It was a shambles but it will not define how our season goes, next week might be a different matter!
Chin up Jackie mac. The power of prayer and that. Remember wee Oscar he will give you strength.

Thank you. But please don’t get me wrong. I love Celtic and no one wants Neil Lennon to succeed more than I do. I would love Neil to explain his strategy on pre-season games, because it appears either non – existent, or inexplicable.
There is no way that a thrashing by a lower tier club can have a beneficial effect, unless it dawns on the manager and players that they are either not good enough, or have to work a damn sight harder than they have heretofore.
Andy Murray would be an object lesson. After years of defeats to Federer, Nadal and the Serb, he bulked up, got a lot stronger, fitter and faster, training for hours in two-a-days. Hard to imagine our lads doing that. For example, Chris Commons has lots of skill, I like that he shoots on sight, but his conditioning would disgrace an amateur player.

Not happy about the performance or the result tonight but after all it was a pre-season, training-camp, friendly. As I’ve said before we lack creativity in midfield, despite the fact we were missing our main midfield players. A Pirloesque player would do nicely. Too much tinkering with the defence caused a fair bit of tonight’s problems.
Q. If tonight had been a “friendly” / training match against zombie FC with the same result would the happy clappers on here still be happy? Just a thought. Well off to Berlin on Thursday!
gluttonforpunishmentcsc
Well said my fellow Timaloy, I hope you have a cool and pleasant time in Berlin
& I hope the Bhoys put in a better performance than what was on show this
Evening which certainly comes under the ppp (piss poor performance) on display
Docu on ole Roderick on the beeb at the mo
Last time I really got upset at pre season was
July 1997
A Wim Jansens Celtic
a much stronger line up than today
a line up that included Di Canio, Wieghorst, Tosh, Jackie Mac.
Derry City 3 Celtic 2
I thought this team will win nothing and may well embarrass us.
Shows you what I knew
By the time summer of 98 came around I had caught myself on and knew to treat these games as merely practise matches and nothing more
This Rod thing is well worth watching.
He who is without fault among you, let him cast the first “fud” :

Thank you. It’s all about opinions, right? Unfortunately, I watched every minute, and I get burned up when we don’t learn from previous experiences.
Then I get very frustrated, and take to the keyboard to vent.
But, as with every season since 1965, I will watch every minute of every game in 2013/14.
Glutton for punishment, eh?
AKWB,
I never mentioned Ajax?????????????
lilys grampa
Lily’s Grandpa, the Ajax quotation was not directed @ you it was to
another poster who was on around that particular time
His dates and years was mixed up
We played Ajax in a CL Pre-qualifier back in the Summer of 2001
We played Ajax last year in the Summer of 2012 pre Season Friendly

No problem, It was just tied on to the end of a reply,
Hang in there big man,

What was the bloody reeeeeesssssuuullltttt? Like drawin effin teeth!!

I reckon whatever happens against Cliftonville will happen, with respect, I’m not interested in that tonight.
Celtic should be at the same level of fitness as Greuther Furth and on the evidence of the game, probably were. It was the shabbiness, and lack of professionalism that grates for the
fans in Bavaria, and fans that paid for Premier Sports, or Celtic TV outside UK.
The team was set out wrong and the substitutions, compounded a poor result, into a pre season training game, unmitigated fiasco, from which Celtic took money.
If Celtic want cash, and do not chose to play these games behind closed doors, they can’t have it both ways, by having anyone at the club or uber supporters included tell us ‘they are not important’.
Right Folks it’s getting towards howling @ the moon time of night
I’m off to catch some z’s I bid you all a good night what’s left of
it and KTF everyone YNWA & Hail Hail Cheers All & Come On

My local parish is canvassing support to spend some time in Salamanca next year.
Any thoughts/advice would be welcome.

Could easily have been 8-2, they were unlucky not to add the further 2 when they hit the bar and the post in the last 5 minutes or so.

IniquitousIV @ 23.00
See the gist of my reply to Pogma.
Celtic lost 6 – 2, in pre season, didn’t bother about the first two reversals, but tonight
was Laurel and Hardy- esque – and that hurts the box office Celtic are plugged into.
jude2005 is Neil Lennon \o/
You don’t want to know Jude & Forget the result.
Just scroll back through the previous windows &
you will find out the result it was in ppp mode with
no positives whatsoever to take out of this Evening’s

Thanks mate, taking the wife so they better win to make up for all the traipsing through shops.
PMTYH, “why don’t we go to the one shop and buy everything that you are looking for?”
Mrs PMTYH, “I don’t want to buy anything I just want to look.”
“Aye right!”
Thoughts from distant shores.
If Lenny were looking for a result,he wouldn`t have subbed big Fraser at half time.
I`m happy to go along with Lenny`s outlook.
It has served us well in the past.

Saints to complete record deal for Wanyama as Celtic midfielder agrees £12.5m move

Scottish football’s record transfer is set to be completed on Wednesday with Victor Wanyama poised to finalise a stunning £12.5million move to Southampton.
The Kenya international midfielder was due to start the Parkhead club’s thumping 6-2 friendly defeat to German Second Division side Greuther Firth on Tuesday night but it is understood he remained behind at the club’s training base on the outskirts of Munich as talks with the Premier League side moved towards a conclusion.
The bumper fee offered by Saints had already been accepted by Celtic previously, before the deal broke down due to personal terms being rejected by Wanyama and his agents.
Heading south: Victor Wanyama is to complete his £12.5m deal to Southampton on Wednesday
But if the big money move goes through today, as expected, the Wanyama deal would break the previous record for a transfer by a Scottish club, the £9.5million paid by Spartak Moscow for Celtic and Ireland winger Aiden McGeady in 2010.
And to get that kind of fee for a player they landed from Belgian side Germinal Beerschot in 2011 for just £900,000 represents the coup de grace for Celtic’s policy of scouting talented up-and-coming but little known young talents.
But while the loss of Wanyama would be a financial boost, with the money set to be reinvested in a replacement and fresh contracts for remaining stars, the 22-year-old’s name now looks to be added to a lengthy injury list for the Scottish Champions ahead of their visit to Belfast to play Cliftonville next Wednesday.
Keeping fit: Wanyama had been training in Germany with the Scottish Premier League champions
Captain Scott Brown is a doubt for the game against the Northern Irish champions, as is Joe Ledley, Adam Matthews and want away striker Gary Hooper, while Virgil van Dijk and Charlie Mulgrew picked up fresh injuries in last night’s 6-2 thumping. Striker Tony Watt has been sent home from Germany with a back strain, while Efe Ambrose will be too late back from international duty with Nigeria to play his part.
Lennon said: ‘It’s a concern because I don’t know what team I’m going to have available for next week. If Scott Brown comes through the next couple of days he may get a run out against Union Berlin on Friday.
‘But Joe and Adam are going to struggle. We would have to see where they are but it would be debatable whether we would throw them into a game like that.
Short: Scott Brown (left) is a doubt for Celtic’s Champions League qualifier against Cliftonville
‘Hoops has got a groin strain so I don’t know how long he is going to be out.
‘Efe’s not back until the 15th because he didn’t finish international duty until late June. We knew he wouldn’t be involved on this trip and that he wouldn’t be involved for the first game. And Tony Watt has a back strain and we’ve sent him home to get it looked at.
‘So that’s where we are. We are stretched and it’s a concern because everything is taking its toll and we’ve still got another pre-season friendly to come on Friday in Berlin.’
But Lennon is hoping to finalise a deal for former Wolves defender Steven Mouyokolo today, after agreeing a one-year deal for the Frenchman, pending results of a medical.
Crooked: Gary Hooper (right) has a groin strain and is out for the foreseeable future

Just pointing out that you started the “fud calls”. Posters are entitled to give an opinion on here and provided that opinion is not racist, sectarian or downright offensive then whether you agree with that opinion or not a civil reply would be in order. This isn’t FF, one of the other hun sites but sometimes I wonder.
Preseason and fit and proper.
I didn’t see the game tonight, so i defer to those who did. I have never placed much credence in any kind of friendly. Its clearly easier on the arteries , when we win in pre-season, however I prefer to think that tonight will be the highlight of the year for Sevconians, rather than any indicator of things to come for us.
Fit and proper.
Rangers today appointed as a non executive director, a man who has had been involved in business with a family member who has served time for receiving stolen goods, and selling them, and who was also found guilty of VAT fraud. The financial benefit of these fraudulent and criminal acts was reported to be £1.5 million.
Now , none of us should be held accountable for anothers actions, even a brothers. However there are legitimate questions to be asked should the firm that perpetrated the VAT fraud be G & R sheet metal Fabricators.
This is the only actively trading business Sandy Easdale was a Director of at the time of the criminal offences. He was a director of another 2 business, however these business’ closed without ever lodging accounts with companies House.
G & R sheet metal Fabricators traded from Unit 2 Upper Ingleston St in Greenock and was founded in 1993 , with both Easdale brothers as Directors. The company traded until 1996 when a liquidator was appointed. This was shortly after Sandy Easdale had been charged with the criminal offences he was later found guilty of.
Clyde Metal fabrications , which engaged in the same business as G& R , was founded in 1998 not long after Sandy Easdale was jailed . You wont be surprised to learn it operated from Unit 2 Upper Ingleston St in Greenock. James Easdale was a 50% shareholder and Director from the point this business was purchased by the Easdales from the company formation agents.
The questions the SFA should be asking James Easdale are as follows, should the company involved in the Sandy Easdale criminal fraud be G&R.
1 Were you aware of the criminal actions of your brother
2 If not , please explain how a small business of which you were a 50% shareholder and an executive director , managed to illegally and criminally trade £1.5 million of stolen assets without your knowledge
3 Did you benefit in any way from the criminal actions of your fellow director and shareholder
4 Given that it follows that you either knew and did nothing , or were negligent in your duty as a director, what conclusion should we draw as to your fit and proper status. This question is equally as relevant for AIM, given the plc status of the company with many thousands of small investors
The SFA made a complete mess of Whytes fit and proper status. Would the Campbell Ogilvie led SFA really refuse to question yet another director, who should have serious questions to answer?
I would like to thank my (and everyone’s) team tonight for letting me set a new record…
As I’m normally at games and usually watch European away games in the house…
Well, I’m now (double) barred from watching the tic in my local.
Well, the last two games weren’t on but, tonight, after working late…it was on, so…
My last (bad) record in the local was 4-0 in Holland (no more needs to be said)…etc.
Is 6-2 not a good score with us???
In Aldi’s at £22. Its a steal at that price. mrs j payed £32 at Christmas. But she loves me sm!!

I agree with you entirely, I never like to see Celtic lose but you can lose with style having been edged by the better team. Tonight was a shambles, and I wonder how many of the happy clappers put any money into watching the team.
