My friends in Celtic, we are the laughing stock of the football world. This status has been achieved by becoming the soft touches of Scottish football. Dundee United can only win one game in 11? Not to worry, we’ve Celtic next. St Mirren only won two games in 10? Chill, it’s Celtic at Hampden. United are so poor, that win of theirs came against an even-poorer St Mirren.
Three weeks ago we were hot favourites for the league, with a nine-point advantage over Newco. We still have an advantage, but a third place finish is now as likely as any other outcome. Maybe you always fancied a crack at the Conference League?
Last night’s game at Tannadice encapsulated so much of the story. Celtic were scintillating for much of the first half and could have had the game won. It is not Wilfried Nancy’s fault that the squad is short of an experienced striker who would have made that a reality.
However, Dundee United manager Jim Goodwin, figured out what Celtic were doing at halftime and turned the tables. Celtic were completely nullified from the start of second period. The equaliser on 58 minutes was more than merited, as Celtic were unable to clear their lines until then. Both United goals came from pressure after a corner kick. That’s five goals in four games from corners Celtic have conceded. Maybe playing with only one central defender for the first time this century is a bit too radical?
Goodwin in not alone. Derek McInnes figured out the same thing for Hearts earlier this month. His side were battered for the opening 30 minutes, changed to suit the Celtic formation and had their easiest game at Celtic Park for a long time. St Mirren’s Stephen Robinson had seen enough to know what to do before he arrived at Hampden on Sunday. Celtic’s formation made it easy for all three.
This period has encouraged our opponents. Newco and Hearts were broken at the beginning of this month. Today they are invigorated and they will approach each game, as well as the January transfer window, with renewed appetite. Celtic are there for the taking and everyone knows it. I am getting “What is going on?” messages from across the world; we are world news. This scale of capitulation is that exceptional.

Hey Burnley,
Thanks for the compliment of all your attention. Keep running that interference, it’s really working for you. Just ask yer mate Peter 🤣🤣🤣.
As to the earlier question of what’s the Collective’s end goal? Maybe they want to install a bunch of incompetent, high handed, hate figure tossers to run the club into the ground. Alternatively they might aim for something more original.
Keep the faith big man. You’re winning people over. 👍
Evening all.
Just had a quick read back.
I have a wee question for one of our posters to seek a bit of clarificaton.

Maybe better steer clear of the Shipbank in your case…
————————————————————————————-
I see in your earlier post you state ‘a group of old men and not a football man between them.
Are you linking the both and if you are, I would like to think it was a very ‘tongue in cheek’ comment.
I look forward to you reply

Big bhoy@ 418pm….God doesn’t even know….maybe it’s their goal that their sons or grandsons ask them in 20 years…’How come Celtic used to dominate Scottish football and now we never win anything?
Absolutely fekin clueless bunch of morons.
Hot Smoked….I agree with you…..I have got absolutely nothing in common, as a Celtic fan, with the CC or the vocal majority at Tannadice last night.
This is my last year as a ST holder.
I’ve gave my son’s pal my ticket for the rest of the season.
I’m taking my bhoy to Bologna as a present for his birthday and that will be the last game I will ever go to.
They will write books in years to come with titles like….How Supporters Brought Down Celtic.
Infiltrating Huns couldn’t have done a better job of killing Celtic than Janet Findlay and the CC.
MadnessCSC
Said on here a couple of weeks ago,” Gogic is the best defender in the league. WTF were Hibs thinking”.
Laxalt – they could write one next week about how … you know the rest …
I take it you also thought David Murray was harshly judged by some on the Huns Liquidation ?
enjoy the rugby
belmont brian
Mine was, not so sure about Fanadpatriot’s original comment though.
Maybe you could ask him to clarify…?
The Oval has seen a surprising upturn in membership applications in the past 24hr according to the fortnightly
”It’s Not Cricket Old Boy”
On sale now in all good newsagents and haberdasheries.
723pm….no it don’t think that you imbecile and the fact that you think Murray is anything like Lawwell Desmond Keane etc means there is no talking to you.
I’ll say this…if the CCs goal is to get Desmond to sell his shares and he does then the £80m won’t be in CFCs bank account it will be in the new owner’s pockets.
We are heading to hell and morons like you are too stupid to see it.
I’ve been going to Celtic games for 47 yrs….it’s not a hobby ma mhan.
CELTIC MAC
Cheers for the reply, appreciated.
Hopefully one day you can get yourself along to The Old Ship Bank, I guarantee you will enjoy yourself, BRRB will buy you a pint, wait, I think I’ve over stretched that one.
Again, thanks for your reply👍
MOM……you and guys like PLB seem positively giddy about current events.
Some of us see yeez.
Sad but absolutely fascinating to watch this unfold.
laxalt
you’re missing my point
but then you dont do morons & imbeciles
heading to hell ? every one of those corporate shysters have a seat reserved there already – sadly i’ll probably end up sitting next to them – if only southpark did scottish football at least we’d get a laugh
Laxalt at 7.35.
The money won’t be in the new inverters pockets, it will be in DD’s.
Joe the pedant.
The cash reserves will remain with ra sellick PLC unless someone has changed the laws of stuff n that?
DD will get the dough for his shares.
Imbeciles&Morons CSC
Corporate shysters?….ffs we’ll leave it their mate.
Wee Joe….I just meant that any money Celtic raise over the coming years won’t be ours….it will immediately be taken out as factors/onerous contracts/expenses etc straight into stranger’s pockets.
I know we aren’t in a good place, but some of the names that we are calling other Celtic fans is shocking. I suppose it’s a sign of the times, but definitely unedifying. Can we not just disagree without all the vitriol ?
I’m happy with moron and imbecile – at least it wasnt Hun :)
Spikey….you’re not understanding what I’m saying but your last comment tells me that you’re only capable of thinking in the short term.
Its the way Sevco work.
And it’s the way we’re heading because of people like you.
reminds me of a brilliant ad seen on gumtree decades ago in their find a partner pages –
went along the lines of “into S&M, threesomes, beastiality and every deviant sexual pursuit known to man” but finished with the requirement “No Huns”
Test
Fair point Paul but im heartbroken and angry that my 3rd love in life is almost certainly going to be ruined because of people that take their lead from people who haven’t a fekin clue, and they can’t take a step back and look at what they’re pro and anti.
This is the downfall of Celtic happening in real time.
I’ll say it again….
Every single hun, every member of the Orange Odour, Every hun journalist….they are cheering them on…..they ALL hated Lawwell, McCann, Quinn.
FFS….
Spikey….no offence but why were you reading those adverts in the 1st place?
Oot tae walk the Dug
Pleased to see The Sheep being run ragged by Sparta.
I didn’t realise they were playing tonight.
belmont brian
If I had £1 for every time time somebody on here mentioned Celtic & £80 mill in the bank….
maybe I could afford to have a drink with BRRB, yourself & Co..
Laxalt
was hoping to maybe meet someone lie you xxx
seriously, it was probably a screenshot sent to me and possibly even by a blue-nose who thought it was funny
CELTIC MAC
Brilliant.😂
Nite ‘ma friend, early rise tomorrow.
If you’re going to the game on Sunday give me shout.
I’ll try to catch you before or after the game. It would be good to put a face to a Moniker.

Pleased to see The Sheep being run ragged by Sparta.
I didn’t realise they were playing tonight. But they will still beat us on Sunday
But they will still beat us on Sunday
Spikey….fair play.
I think we’re all at the Irish War of Indepedence stage or The American Civil War.
We’re ( Celtic ) ripping ourselves apart while our enemies eat popcorn.
I’ll never chsnge my stance and either will guys like you.
I apologise for any name calling and im 200pc sure we’d agree on loads of stuff in real life.
Defo OOT
Hail Hail
Better them being run ragged than not, Boab.
I’m happy to take any advantage going.
Unlike some, at least I’ll be hoping 100% we win on Sunday👍
Laxalt – hail hail :)
Great save by the Sheepie keeper in added time to keep it 2-0.
Hopefully means it’s too early for Sparta to “take their foot off the gas”.

Two centre forwards, over 6′.

Celta de Vigo Striker Exactly who we need
Great to see common sense and reasonable approach taken by the Dean Park CSC. For the greater good of the team and club.
Let’s hope it breaks about across other clubs. Especially after images of knives etc seeming to be brandished at last nights game.
Credit to those involved at this club. Hopefully both sides see this step constructively.
Sheep had a seriously tough set of fixtures. 5 out of their 6 games were from top 10 out of 36 opponents. The other is currently sitting 17th.
That explains their poor positon and crap contribution to the coeff. It’s meaningless tonight but a 3 hour return for those who did travel. It looks like most of the squad.
It’s not what it used to be but nice to see Rory Mcilroy winning SPOTY.
Sincere apologies to those who might class golf with cricket and rugby.

Hard to believe any Celtic supporter would want us to lose on Sunday.
Hard to believe any Celtic supporter would shout gtf to a manager 2 weeks in the job.
I really hope we win on Sunday. A draw for me would be best from Tynecastle. Unlike Paul 67 I fear the Huns more than Hearts.
Played against us when a betis I’m sure
