Important commercial day

144

5,800 miles is a long way to go for two football games but that’s the distance from Celtic Park to the Nissan Stadium, where Celtic are currently playing Yokohama F. Marinos.  It has been a great trip so far for our sizeable Japanese contingent, while the commercial department have been able to put down some roots in a large and wealthy market.  This is an important commercial day.

Maintaining interest from Japan depends on the interests of the football operation, which will inevitably peak and trough.  Still, we need to be like Daizen Maeda and make the most of the opportunity while it’s there.

Football is not known for understatements and Inter ultras certainly didn’t go there with their notice to Romelu Lukaku.  Their note read, “you repay us with a stab worthy of Brutus. You kissed the badge that is worth more than our lives to us and now like a vile cheap mercenary”.

It’s been 2067 years lads, let it go.   A note untempered by anyone who is not an angry male.

    Certainly beats friendlies against – ahem – “mystery opponents”!

     

    No articles for a while on the administrative genius that is Neil Doncaster, Paul?

     

    Thought we might have had an update on his latest, err, “achievement”……..?

    *******

     

    Bow’s the time to find this out….and,hopefully, do something about it.

  4. Peter the Pointer just told us that managers don’t want players to pick up injuries pre season, good to know! I must remember that.

    Impressive historical knowledge Pablo.😉

     

     

    Now who is going to tell the pure ragin’ Inter fans that (according to history) Brutus was the anguished, conscientious Republican and Cassius was the chancer?

     

     

    Then again, Brutus came from money and aristocracy ….

     

     

    … and we all know how these b*****ds manipulate the media.

     

    🤔🤔🤔🤔

    Has he mentioned he once coached Matt O’Reilly? He usually does the odd 10 or 20 times during every game!

    Back to basics.

     

     

    21 games into their season. Going for the title.

     

     

    Good outfit in Japan.

     

     

    Generous Celtic giving them 4 goals today.

    Tiring as I said would happen. The subs have no pace and are all young Bhoys.

    CRISIS AT CELTIC, AS HAPLESS HOOPS THROW AWAY 3-2 LEAD TO LOSE 6-3 IN RODGER’S FIRST GAME IN CHARGE

    Really enjoyable game. Defences on top! Always enjoy Japanese football. Maeda was magnificent… the makeshift defence not so much.

  14. Moderator1888 on

    Looking good for a friendly

     

     

    Mistakes cost us goals

     

     

    After all the subs came on we surrendered the midfield and got turned over

     

     

    Like the strip

  15. Can someone please tell me how losing 6 goals ,builds Celtic’s brand in Japan ?

     

     

    Brendan say’s that he watched almost every Celtic match ,when he could .

     

    He was on the broo for months ,so he must have seen most of our matches leading to the treble.

     

    He attended the semi v the Darnel .

     

     

    He won’t need much of pre season to assess our players.

     

     

    Better to lose 6 in pre season ,but never good to lose 6 at anytime .

     

    Especially with quite a strong first 11 playing .

     

    We always struggle when CCV is not in the team .

     

     

    Terrific from Maeda.

     

     

    TT

  16. Aye get the mistakes sorted now.

     

    It also will let Brendan really see where our deficiencies are, cos we sure can see them, a fair few short for europe, domestically we should be Ok once they are up to speed.

  17. kevinlasvegas on

    TT it’s an exhibition game.

     

     

    Their nations potential champions just lost 4 goals and are at their peak.

     

     

    So aye its not a bad advert.
