If ever we needed a perfect example of what the Celtic players have gone through in recent weeks it arrived in the first half against Dundee United on Saturday. One week after Wilfried Nancy blamed “individual errors” for the loss of three goals, Auston Trusty committed a classic of that particular genre.
As the last defender, Trusty tried to clear the ball away from the onrushing Owen Stirton, but the United striker got the better of him and was bearing down on Kasper Schmeichel, before Liam Scales flew in to block his shot. That’s what happens when an individual error takes place and you have a covering defender. The same chance under Nancy would inevitably led to an equaliser and an entirely different rest of the match.
One of my regrets from the defeat a week earlier was that Yang did not get the attention his excellent goal and performance merited. He has now drifted in from the right to open the scoring in two successive games. Right now he is our most effective winger.
The coolest head in Glasgow belonged to Benjamin Nygren. With the Unted keeper ready to block, Benjamin feigned to shoot, forcing the keeper to commit before pitching a shot high into the net. The Swede is by some distance the most prolific goalscorer at the club; something to ponder when we are without a confident striker.
*individual errors will, of course, still be costly on occasion.

The board should hang their heads in shame, for MoN to be forced into doing that !
Think we should shop in Motherwell more often!

And you forgot Scott McDonald
*aye I did but NOT on purpose, mibbees Black Sunday still haunts me, was a great wee striker when he did come and who could ever forget his heider on tae big Jan Vinnegar which led to Tommy Burns Thursday
Prestonpans bhoy
Our board are shameless.
If Nicholson on £800k per annum, that’s over £15k a week for shrugging his shoulders.
We’ve bought well from there.
CL goals, very under rated.
Don’t know how old Gogic is, but I’d jump at him, solid defender
Gogic is at Kilmarnock not Motherwell
I’d play him def midfield , would toughen us up there
He’s at St Mirren
Is he a striker?
sadsffgh
How far have we fallen…Gogic, Bowie…..
Really have achieved the boards aim…standards low as hell….
Gogic???
Thank feck us blog punters are not in charge of player recruitment!!!
hahahahahahaha
Young David Watson at Killie is a decent player.
I thought we were today?
KT was nursing his hamstring during the last few minutes on Saturday .
His ability to stay fit , is a concern .
TT
Nygren has got the Larsson thing going on.
Only saying.
Larsson would have made the dug who used to run onto the pitch from the sacred JUNGLE, into a superstar if it was partnered with him.
How will players ever learn new stuff if the manager is a robot trapped in a PEP GUARDIOLA Youtube video, who never tries new stuff?
If the reason for the Green Brigade stand-off is because the PLC are in the process of throwing ANOTHER league to the Huns, then if MON is not in on this, will he walk out? Then the PLC can blame him?
MON got out before in 2005 because of this sequence of events.
1. GERRY McNEE Exclusively revealed in his Sunday paper column that the Huns under McLeish, were about to start downsizing because of David Murray’s cash-flow issues.
2. PS, Only GERRY McNEE reported on this. lol
3. Celtic PLC slyly respond by blocking MON’s request for 250,000 quid to purchase, TONY DORIGO, from KILLIE, a rightback with a bit of dig about him, this was because Didier Agathe had suffered a long term injury blow.
4. The PLC snubbed MON’s request, and MON warned Celtic fans about the arrival of “THE SLOW LANE” which led to MON seeing out his contract and leaving the following season as his Wife had become unwell.
Back in season 1997/98 when we were trying to stop a 100+ Million quid worth Hun Juggernaut from winning 10 in a row, Fergus McCann threw another one of his promises to Celtic fans out of the window when he scrapped his March 1994 promise:
[[ “THE MOST IMPORTANT ASPECT OF CELTIC FC FROM HERE ON IN, WILL BE THE STRENGTHENING OF THE PRODUCT ON THE PITCH.”]]
EYE! Nay bother.
Fergus tried to bully, WIM JANSEN and MURDO MacLEOD, into going along with the, in effect, cheating of the Celtic fans, by bringing in project players, whilst they were trying to stop a Hun 10 in a row, so that pishy players would likely mean that the manager and team would fail, then FM could sack WJ & MM, WITH EASE, as they would be failures.
McCann went on to demonize Celtic even further by pushing DD up to the top of the food chain at Parkhead.
McCANN = TORY
JOCK BROWN = ORANGE HUN TORY
DESMOND = IRISH TORY
LAWWELL = TORY
WILSON = RED TORY
NICHOLSON = TORY
The rest of the PLC = TORY.
No protests are going to cut it with these people.
They have 3 seasons worth of season ticket monies lying under the boardroom table.
The PLC WILL take the fans on in a battle of WILLS and mind games.
Do Celtic fans have what it takes to boycott for 3 seasons?
Then after that, the board will asset strip the playing squad and fill the team with junior players or public park players.
Celtic FC will be relegated and the board and media will blame uncaring fans.
So. No protest, boycott, or any other meaningless guff will hit the target with a TORY board.
So what then? Cry into your beer?
If the JUNGLE was here today the PLC would be scared to go to sleep at night.
Tories got rid of THE JUNGLE, THE KOP, THE STRETFORD END, because football fans make Governments scared.
So the fans had to be seated and now they hold ZERO fear for Governments.
Thatcher was correct when she said: “THERE IS NO SOCIETY” because she had just cut societies balls off!
Its looking out of MON’s face that he is here for the shaft.
Maybe MON will do Celtic fans the ULTIMATE FAVOR and start a revolution by walking out?!
Who knows….tic toc!
HH
oot.
Swap deal Lennon Miller for Stephen Welsh?
Stephen Welsh for Gogic and Watson at Killie?
Gojic would be a total disaster playing in our back 4 camped near the half time , think Big Duffy in the Covid season.
Bowie of Hibs has very limited ball control and at the extortionate fee Hibs are seeking , it’s an absolute NO from me.
HH
Half way line
Crikeycfc
It takes over 1000 season ticket holders just to pay for Nocholson’s salary
Celtic Mac,
Obviously you don’t read my posts.I mentioned a striker who would be perfect for us,and seamless ,Maswanhise from Motherwell.15 goals already this season.
Of course,we would have to pay money,God forbid.
Bada put forward Bowie from Hibs.
Maswanhise?
Put Ballykwishaw guy up front and try him there with Larsson/Nygren????!!!!
HH
oot.
Huns have got us on toast when it comes to signings
Their ex CEO said they had a net spend of 20 million in the summer transfer window
They have now spent another 4 with more on the way
Meanwhile we have 77 million in the bank with a turnover of 143 million to their 94 million…yet they don’t seem one bit concerned regarding FFP ( or equivalent) …not a jot do they care….maybe some expert can tell us how this is so when we haven’t had a net spend in years …profit after profit….yet people were on here saying we have to be careful 🤔🤔🤔……sounds all bollks to me

ONIL,
Standards have not dropped from the,non Board supporting fans.We can wish for better,but,its looking like loans only.Narrows the quality pool down in our bracket.A fee will not be over 3-4 million.God knows why.I honestly think,having seen a good bit of him,I watch Motherwell when no Celtic,Maswnissie would get us our goals.Very quick and sharp.
Celtic replace
Lawwell with Lawwell
Lennon with Lennon
Rodgers with Rodgers
Jota with Jota
Tierney with Tierney
O’Neill with O’Neill with O’Neill
Welsh with Welsh
Tried for Kyogo with Kyogo
and coming soon The Green Brigade with The Green Brigade 👍
Our profit for lat summer was £16 million on players.
Can someone tell me why we are only seemingly looking at loans?.
A striker,£ 5 million,the Canadian International midfielder from Hadjuk we had agreed a a£3 million fee for,put on hold for, God knows why,and a loan for another would be enough.£8 mil
WTF are we doing?.
BSR,
😎😎😎😎😅😅
