I lost count the number of times I heard “Worst Dundee United team I’ve ever seen” on the way out of Celtic Park yesterday. They were guileless, unable to do any more than stand in Celtic’s way, and they didn’t even do that very effectively, as Leigh Griffiths demonstrated. I hope Mixu gets a grip on things soon as I’ve seen a better United team than that relegated.
For Celtic it was an important win on the back of a week to forget. Martin O’Neill was fond of saying the most important thing after a defeat is to avoid another one, when confidence slips it can often do so for a while.
Kieran Tierney won the free kick which led to the second goal and the penalty for the third. His energy levels were high and he looked every inch a Celtic player. Ronny knows teenage talent needs to be developed at a comfortable pace but the stage is Kieran’s right now he might just make the position his own.
Delighted to see Jozo Simunovic after a long and, for some, worrying absence. This was a difficult game to judge central defenders, as Celtic did so little defending, but what was asked of him was carried out well. He also showed a decent change of pace and sent a rasping shot on target from 30 yards.
While last week will take a while to leave the system, the next five days are enormously important: Heats in the League Cup on Wednesday before Aberdeen on Saturday. We can speculate on what’s destroyed Aberdeen, but whatever it is, there will be clear decks for the visit to Glasgow on Saturday, but before then we have one of our biggest domestic challenges of the season at Tynecastle. Need to get it right for both.
My first reaction when I saw the Green Brigade banner yesterday was they some poor sod was likely to get huckled for this entirely peaceful and appropriate protest against a ridiculous law and ever-conspiratorial government and police. Such is the nature of the Offensive Behaviour Act that you can’t really complain about the Scottish Government confident that you are free to do so.
The Scottish Government-Police Scotland pact is set in stone. No amount of ridicule from courts to stadiums seem to affect it. I remain appalled and alarmed.
Brendan Sweeney, legend from Celts for Change and more recently Celtic Graves, is launching his book, Celtic: The Early Years, at the Jock Stein Lounge this Thursday, 29 October.

You gotta laugh…..Tescos at the checkouts got ” CAUTION -ZOMBIE- ZONE” halloween tape proudly displayed above ……cashier replied aye theres quiet a few them in here……….shurely “them” widnae dream o a boycott.
Turns out the Labour amendment approved in the Lords a) won’t apply to new claimants b) will make the savings via universal credits and c) mights save the government more than their tax credit cuts (ie cut more from the poor)
From the proposing baroness – ‘So over the term of the Parliament, the government will have matching savings which probably exceed the very cuts the government demands.’

Great night 2016.

1. Were the SNP not quite happy to sit back on their big fat ones and tacitly support the Milsoveic’s Serb fascist army back in the mid 90s as they declared an illegal war in Bosnia? In fact wasn’t Salmond the ONLY leader of any political party that did support the genocidal Serb scumbags when he said; “It’s best to let them sort it out amongst themselves.”? Something the Serbs were more than happy to oblige as the poor Bosnian Muslims and Croatian civilians they subjected to mass rape, torture and murder testified.
2. And what have the SNP done for ‘The Poor’ in all the years they’ve been in power? ‘Time for a change’ indeed and boot these Tartan Tory’s out cause that’s what they always were and always will be. You ever see them redistributing any money from the wealthiest to the poorest? Ever??
Nope, me neither.
DD I know. As late as 1941 my family were forced out of Tyrone. most went to Renfrew/Port/Clydebank or Johnstone,where we ended up. Taken in and fed by a Proddie wummin from Co Fermanagh too.
Tyrone lads are very welcome at our do next Easter,
Just send an email to dublin2016@mail.com and I will reserve tickets.

Delaney’s, If you get a chance could you let me know how many are coming over from Clydebank.

Lubo of the lamp .. Yeah mate .. Let’s continue with all these Lords, Barons, Baroness’s, Earls,
Bishops, Viscounts, Countesses and Dames to eradicate poverty …
The Tartan Tories have only gave us free prescriptions … Frozen council tax .. Free school meals … Free university tuition .. Spent millions to mitigate the affects of the bedroom tax .. I could go on ..
All when the block grant has been cut annually by your Unionist masters ..
How many billions did the slab/lib North Brit executive hand back to the Wesminister treasury ?
And you wonder why the majority of Scottish people trust the SNP to look after Scotland’s needs ?
Gotta sleep, old chappy ..
Nite, yar!!
Do we ever get the politics debate after we have lost a match?
Police State is it?
“New York police union calls for boycott of Tarantino films”
New York’s largest police union has demanded a boycott of Quentin Tarantino films after the Oscar-winning director protested against the deaths of unarmed suspects at police hands.

“It took a while for me to play at Celtic Park, but I loved it on Sunday. I don’t think the game against Dundee United was too easy.
Maybe it looked a little bit different when you were watching from outside of the park. But I think that the match showed that, if we are 100 per cent on our game, we win 5-0. Every game that we are 100 per cent, we should win.”
Jozo Simunovic
Celtic founding a NASL club? Fantastic idea. MLS just trebled its sponsorship. Interest is growing in the US and huge investment lies ahead. Get it done Peter. I’ve been carping on for years how the Scots/Irish disporra in the US is an untapped market.
Time for Scott Allen to join the first team squad proper.
Delaney’s-
Thoughts with you and the family at this time.
Your sister was 45 years old? Sobering, and a timely reminder for me to look after my Heath.
May your sister rest in eternal light.
