It is as though everyone now knows what to do

For a striker, getting your first goal at a new club is a huge mark.  The longer it takes, the more pressure lands on your shoulders.  Giorgos Giakoumakis settled that liability on his first start for Celtic against St Johnstone on Saturday.

After an inauspicious start off the bench against Hearts, Kyogo Furuhashi also scored on his first Celtic start, away to Jablonec in the Europa qualifiers.  The flurry of goals that followed changed the trajectory of Celtic’s season. Giorgos goal on Saturday could be just as important.

Apart from the November international break, Celtic have two games per week until Christmas.  This is the kind of run that blunts players whose responsibility it is to carry the load game after game.

Ange Postecoglou will be able to rest Kyogo, who will return to Asia for Japan’s games next month, and let Giorgos lead the line.  The Greek striker also has the benefit that he is not the Greece striker, he has not represented his country since March and is likely to have a two week break next month, time hopefully spent at Lennoxtown honing his fitness.

Resting Kyogo also means bringing Mikey Johnston and/or eventually James Forrest back into the team.  There is no freshness gained if Kyogo is shifted to the right.  Johnston has looked sharp on his substitute appearances this month, especially against Ferencvaros on Thursday.  The home game against Livingston on Saturday would be an opportunity for him to start.

For all that has been said about our defence this season, they scarcely conceded a chance worthy of the name during their three consecutive clean sheets.  This is a factor not just of defensive form, but of shape in the middle of the park.  It is as though everyone now knows what to do.

    scotland does not want to be honest and open about it’s nasty secret I.e. 100s of years of anti irish racism allowed to grow and infiltrate all reas of life.

     

     

    Blaming the minority group for the problem rather than address the above issue of hate towards that group has become the norm .

     

     

    Creating false equivalents I.e. telling people that calling rangers supporters huns and is same as calling someone a fenian, terrier taig etc when it is clearly not and trivialises racism into the watered down sectarian stuff we keep getting told about.

     

     

    Allowing orange walks under freedom of expression, that expression brings responsibilities and they fall on all counts. It is hateful

     

     

    I am a proud irish scot and in scotland that is simply not acceptable. Many folk have lost everything, including their lives for simply being. That is a national disgrace. However the truth is the nation has played its part in maintaining it.

     

     

    Where else on the British Isles would 50000 folk be allowed to turn up and sign about sending another enthic group home? The place would be emptied.

    A new member had to hand over an additional 2s 6d on joining, one black ball in four debarred him.

    Its an open secret.

     

     

    The shitinoot in 2012 is a living breathing smelling honking corrupt example how this union conducts its business in Scotland

     

     

    Might be your norm.not mine.

     

     

    Shine a light on it.it is dying.in decline.16,000 used walk up ma main st,1 and a half bands came back and

     

    Half of them were playing a triangle….but the inculcated fear they inspired lives on.its dying and getting a light shone on it.it only goes unquestioned by those who want it to remain so

     

     

    Do you believe and get sucked in by the false narratives or do you challenge it? I know what I do

     

     

    And please don’t taint a whole nation with your own fears and phobias.smells a bit of high grade unionist shite to be simplistically honest.

     

    click on mate the union is in peril and every bit of trickery is employed by followers of the genocidal/nauseaous amnesia cult trick to feel secure in it will and is being pulled .

     

    its as tho your view is fixed,nothing can be done about it.wrong.

     

    Glasgow has went from having more anti Catholic societies than actual Catholics in 18th cent to today where Catholics strive to better themselves and society at large at every social,economic or political level and have branched out a thousand fold since St Andrews opened Celtic,formed from its second parish,unquestionably is this countries most continuiously successful club all occurring in the land of the reformation,but here’s the thing most practicing protestants,say in C.of.S would be as sick as you of the fascist.and they are the ones OO etc needing and will get a light shone on them.a judge has already asked them why do they exist?

     

    Wee nickla and her mob will have her laws scrutinised to, and objected to or repealed as in oba act.

     

     

    History takes time and it matters.its never static

    When I was a kid growing up in Derry my dad gave me the police talk. Now 30 odd years later, living in Belfast, I’m not sure I’ll have to do the same with my kids.

     

     

    It’s like a dam. Little leaks here & there before the levee breaks.

    I will say it again, all our away games are on the betting sites, they are free and legal as long as you have a small amount, say a tenner in your account.

     

     

     

     

    Mrs TET went through a 6 and a half hour Op this morning, and thankfully so far she is doing good, trust me the relief is unbelievable.

     

    …..

     

    For JINKYREDSTAR…

     

     

    I wish both you and your families well.

    FAO any MODERATORS…

     

    This Attention Seeking, LYING Chump has been allowed to Post on Page 3 of this Thread. He also Posted a couple of weeks ago.

     

    See ” BIG PACKY 1 on 25TH OCTOBER 2021 7:52 PM”.

     

    He was RED CARDED by PAUL67…and he KNOWS he was Red Carded…but he just cant help himself trying to align himself with Posters on here.

     

    I have an EMAIL from PAUL67 in March 2021, in which he clearly states that the RED CARD for this BP nutter had NOT been RESCINDED. Pauls Email was in reply to myself after I raised ( yet again), concerns about the DELIBERATE and MALICOUS LIES that this BP Chump Posted about my personal life, to Posters.

     

    This BP has NO KNOWLEDGE of my personal life, and I have never met him…but that didnt stop him from Posting MALICOUS LIES about me. Many on here ( who DO KNOW Me), fully supported me and my Protests about this Sweetie Wife, Hen Pecked, NAE Mates Chump, LIAR on thes pages…and he was BARRED from here.

     

    Can any MODS and/or PAUL67, make sure that he can NEVER Post on here again ASAP ?

  38. EmeraldBee \o/ A Double Niner!! on

    Off the blog last night and catching up I read the two posts from TET and JINKYREDSTAR.

     

     

    Great news from both of you after your travails. Pass on my best wishes to your loved ones and as other have said on here you and yours will be in my prayers. Have only conversed with TET while I was a few miles ‘downhill’ from him when holidaying outside Malaga, met JINKY in Babbity’s one Flag Day for a few minutes Celtic chat, but both of you come over as great Celtic men.

     

     

    Would love to have the pleasure of sharing some time and space, and a small libation, with you at some time. Che sera.

    The blog is not broken, probably reflecting how we respectfully address Walter Smith passing away.
