  1. I think Christie lost his composure. He had been caught a few times on the ball and was clearly frustrated- lunging in needlessly having given away the ball. A lesson learnt hopefully.

     

     

    Lenny will be under the spotlight now for next few weeks as will the players. Hoping for a Cluj like reaction.

     

     

    It’s no mistake football now and Pittodrie already looks a massive game. If we drop points there, even the most laid back among us will be getting nervous.

  2. GFTB, was keeping out of you making a Rodger hunt of yourself every weekend always arguing with someone! Flounce no chance it’s all you got ! Noo that’s a dig read back in the morning when you flounce back ! Never read back csc

  3. I write this with a heavy heart and with bile in my stomach . They will win the league this year .WHY

     

    because if they don’t have access to the champions league money then they are gone .

     

    We can’t afford them to go under. It breaks my heart but Scottish Football needs a hun team

  4. JB,

     

    Slight flaw in your argument – they would need to negotiate 4 qualification rounds before even getting a sniff of real CL money.

     

    Being 2 points ahead after 8 games means hee haw. 2 points ahead when the final whistle blows on the last day of the season is what counts.

    Neil will win the league this year

     

     

    We are 8 games in and they have had 5 home games … it’s a long old season nothing won or lost in October

  6. I felt at Hamilton that we were a bit too casual and that one or two were starting to believe their own publicity after the game at Ibrox. Our support got carried away after Ibrox too, something i was quick to play down. I even checked my own mother. Today we just did not start well at all, there was no real identify to the team and too many we’re not showing for the ball and losing 50/50 challenges. I was very anxious in the stand and commented that it had 0-0 or 1-0 them written all over it. The red card was a sickener and a real game changer. Ryan imo did little wrong, it was just something that happens in football from time to time I’m afraid. My mate had text me and said he met Bauer tonight and they had a wee chat in the west end. He was very frustrated about losing and also losing top spot. I have no reason not to believe we will bounce back, we always do and there are mitigating circumstances today as there were last week. Life moves on quickly and so does football. Today was a massive kick up the backside and must be used by Lenny as a stick to beat the players with going forward. I am confident we will recover and go again after the break.

    If we had done OUR job today you would be writing no such thing. Pull yourself together.

  8. Sorry Gerry but this is a corrupt league with Sevco having to win to survive.If they dont they are finished

  9. Collum for me, didn’t affect the game to change the result IMO,Christie was a red card, but we need to change our game plan against plastic

  10. Johnbay

     

    Even if they win the league, yes it’s corrupt and the sfa, the referees will do everything in their remit to help them, like has been said they will have to negotiate four rounds UNSEEDED, we can’t qualify seeded, they will not be playing cl football next season, so by your reckoning they will be gone, they won’t be, they will still be spreading their sectarian bile and hate, get used to it.

  11. David 17 et ALL

     

    My comments are not about what might happen !

     

    Speak to me in May but I say again we will not be allowed to win the league this year

     

    Why beccauce PL and DD neeed a strong Sevco

  12. Posted this a while back and it looks like I was right about the opposition team getting booked more than Sevco players.

     

     

    The cheats in black miss important Sevco related incidents but they come out later and apologise but what’s the point the damage is done = Sevco gain advantage.

     

     

    Sevco need goal difference up and they are the only team in Scotland for the past 2 years with the most penalties in the league.

     

     

    When the opposition play against Sevco they are booked more often than Sevco players.

     

     

    When Sevco is struggling the cheats in black always give them a helping hand and the opposition team suffer with more bookings and sending offs.

     

     

    Sevco player brings down Livingston player and last man and not even a booking = Sevco gain an advantage and qualify for the next round of the cup.

     

     

    Celtic struggle today and are denied two stone wall penalties and this is the difference when we’re not playing at our best and we are denied stonewall penalties but when Sevco are struggling the men in black always and I mean always oblige and give them a helping hand.

     

     

    Ask yourself this question.

     

     

    Would Sevco have been given those penalties today at Easter Road if they were struggling and needed a helping hand?

     

     

    Anyone but Celtic.

     

     

    Have we learned nothing since the Dallas era ?

     

     

    Before anyone says he’s paranoid I’m not sure then look at what the corrupt SFA has done since 2012 to help the team in blue at greyskull.

  13. Delaneys Dunky on

    Henrik

     

    We are not paranoid enough. The fix is in and Celtic plc seem happy with that arrangement. Old Firmism.

  14. The only persons responsible for Celtic not winning the league will be Celtic.

     

    No controversial decisions , we just were not good enough on the day today.

     

     

    Again this is not just hindsight, many of us asked beforehand if we would be up for it.

     

     

    Unfortunately we have our answer.

     

     

    We asked for a challenge, we stated we would welcome the challenge, we asked if we could see them coming ;well we’ve got one and we can see it , we need to respond.

  17. NB – the very best wishes with yer fight against a horrible disease.

     

     

    Lenny has made a few mistakes, playing most of the Team for 80 minutes against Cluj was not the norm, to then play 10 out of the 11 from the start at Livi wisnae good, IMO.

     

     

    Collum was at it from the start.

     

     

    Totally reprehensible guys like this officiate in Scotland but thats why as a Nation we are so low. Transparency – SFA – no don’t think so.

     

     

    Lenny will galvanise the New Bhoys and we will prevail.

  18. Sky is full of Huns controlling the narrative.

     

     

    Big Chris on BT Sport calls things out.

     

     

    Sky hides contentious moments when in Celtics favour…. but if its against Celtic it is shown ad nauseum.

     

     

    I’m talking about the less relevant decisions.

     

     

    Collum – you are not a lover of Fitba, merely a Lover of your Self.

  19. Andrew Walker, to think I liked you a lot.

     

     

    It is obvious Celtic didnae pay well – grunt I’d have Always played for Celtic for free. Ya ignorant Idiot.

     

     

    You should stop being anywhere near Celtic ya hate filled Monster.

  20. Celtic been hit with a setback.

     

     

    Wow the Fake anger aboot Bròonie not getting a handshake instantly frae the Sky crew.

     

     

    Anger is an energy….

     

     

    Gary Holt is regimented and obviously thinks thats a “Great Game.”

     

     

    Really Sad.

     

     

    The worst possible advert for Scottish Fitba.

     

     

    Ball was in the air all the Time.

  21. Last Thursday Celtic played some excellent football on a grass park conducsive to good football.

     

    On Sunday the same team (Bar one) played at Livingstone’s answer to the Maracana (give or take a vowel) on a plastic pitch not suitable for first class football. Years ago the powers that be decided that to play in the top league you must have an all seated stadium it’s about time they made a Grass park a stipulation. Not because of one result but because the standard of football would be better. Plastic pitches are great for lower divisions but not in the “Premier League”in Scotland.

     

    Does anyone think that after watching that game on Sunday it was a great advert for Scottish football ? I don’t.

     

    Well at least the defeat brought out the “10 pound Poms’ in their usual rant about Peter Lawell and Lenny should be no where near Celtic Park. Should keep them happy & posting during the international break.

     

     

    Hail Hail in Lenny we trust

  22. Good morning CQN from a dark, damp Garngad

     

     

    What a shit game of football that was.

     

     

    Spoiled by a referee who allowed Livi to constantly foul/ break up play, with no yellow cards until about the 90 th minute.

     

     

    Column is a disgrace.

     

    Livi are a disgrace, kicking everything that moved, ball in the air constantly (I know played to their strengths, well that’s not football I’m afraid).

     

    Livi pitch is a disgrace

     

    SFA are a cheating cabal

     

    Job done by the powers that be.

     

     

    Some of our players yesterday were not interested in the physical stuff.

     

    I wanted our strongest team possible on the park, but in hindsight our strongest team might not be our most physical… I think Lenny has to play horses for courses from now on.

     

     

    Anyway we will still win the league FFS we are at the beginning of October, 2 and a bit months into season. I don’t remember trophy’s being handed out this early in any other season???

    WTF

     

     

    How is that a fair run of games????

    10 pound Poms’

     

     

    Brill. :-)

     

     

    Agreed with the rest too.

  25. There is an elephant in the room. If Celtic get Callum (not Calum) to really buy into whit Celtic ur doing.

     

     

    It is Magical, IMO.

     

     

    BROONIE Has to step aside, what an Amazing Capitano.

     

     

    Callum wants to Captain Celtic – he wants to and he Deserves to. Let it happen.

     

     

    Go Go Go Broonie Coaching.

  26. Listened (briefly) to Livi manager on Radio Scotland this morning. Almost blatantly boasting about kicking us off the park. Terrible mindset, only tolerated against us. Sad to say, he is not alone,; opposition managers know they can stick the boot in and get away with it. Shameful. It must baffle our new and/or foreign players.

     

     

    GET RID OF PLASTIC PITCHES.

  27. I see Ryan Christie is the latest footballer to choose to bin his Twitter account because the entitlement brigade amongst our support exercise their right to tell him what they think of him.

     

     

    I know these guys lead a rich privileged life but we do not “own” them and we do not have the entitlement to go up to their face and berate them just because they made a bad tackle or had a bad game.

  28. Celtic should withdraw our Players from Scotland squads Citing the FACT that as SFA Membership Clubs are kicking lumps out of Celtic Players week in week out ( I accept that Ryans Red Card was merited yesterday), and that SFA Officials are turning a Blind Eye, and constantly being inconsistent ( the Lunge on Jonny Hayes by Livi’s Jacob), whenever Celtic Players are on the receiving end, Red cards for opposition Players are few and far between.

     

    This very same SFA, who endorse the Corrupt Officials to foul and Injure Celtic Players…and some of those very same Players who are THEN expected to give their ALL…for an SFA Scottish Jersey ?

     

    Celtic should just send in Doctors Sick Lines for the Celtic Players, and if the Celtic players are then BANNED from Playing for Celtic in the next game…maybe its time we took this situation to UEFA ?

     

    Just in recent seasons think back to the constant assaults on KT, Ryan Christie, Broony….and also the assaults on other Celtic players like Jonny Hayes yesterday and last season, whereby SFA Refs are NOT taking the appropriate action…Red Cards !

  29. Fix Fitba’ Empty Hampden.

     

     

     

    (or relay it with “plastic grass” and see how the plastic hardmen of grunt and rush fitba’ like it)

     

     

    ” we’ll be comin’, oh we’ll be comin’ doon the plastic road!….”

  30. Hunderbirds are Gone on

    Busy blog last night. Great to see all of the , PL, Lenny and James Forrest fans out in numbers. 😉.

     

    By my reckoning it must be eight or more games in a row now since Jamesie had a stinker (granted he had one last night). Nice to know that one particular poster must spend a lot of time logging in to see how he played but then decide not to post. 🙂

     

    Aye… (Copyright BB1)

     

    🍀😂

  31. I may be alone in my thinking, but I think Ryan was just completely frustrated by the state of that Plastic Pitch, when he and most other Celtic players were finding it nearly impossible to control the Ball on that surface, as before he committed the Foul, he was suffering like many other Celts from being able to play their natural game due that so called “Pitch”.

     

     

    It must be very annoying for any TALENTED Players such as Ryan, when the Ball is not running true, and getting away from them, which can lead to late Tackles etc..out of sheer frustration.
