When the players arrived at Lennoxtown for training yesterday morning, Brendan Rodgers had no intention of allowing Moussa Dembele to leave the club. Such was the player’s behaviour over the following two hours, the manager’s view changed to “Get him out of here.”
Yet again, the days ahead of an important game were clouded by distraction, but this time it took the form of insubordination against the manager. Brendan’s view changed from not wanting to be left with only two strikers, to insisting the player was shipped out of the club.
One photographer, there for the press conference ahead of tomorrow’s game, told the manager, “I’ve been doing this for 30 years and never seen behaviour like that.”
You and I have seen many come and go over the years, so losing one is nothing new. Receiving £20m also breaks a barrier in what we can ask for our players in the future, but the manner which this came about is a source of regret. Moussa is a great player, one who delivered for us when it mattered most. His goals and swagger were a joy to watch. Now, the memory of his achievements have been violated by his behaviour. Having a go at the manager on Twitter, where he talked about being lied to (utter rubbish) and ‘Liked’ a comment from Chris Sutton saying he was targeting Brendan, all while playing to “Bhoys and Ghirls” is deplorable. I’ll get over it and applaud politely when you do the Paradise Windfall 15 years from now, but we’re not buying it, Moussa.
Lots to say on the transfer window, but I’ll pick up on it more next week. We have a game tomorrow against an outfit who think they can win the league. This is a day for Brendan and Scott Brown, Dedryck, Kieran, Callum, Tom and the others to do what they do so often against Newco. It’s a day for you and me to lift the team and paint Glasgow green and white.
Last month was traumatic, but it was also cathartic. We are a united club with a bit of an edge right now. Do your thing, Celtic. Spank this lot one more time.

Yes you are probably right but sometimes you just have to say how you feel about two clowns who have never a good thing to say about Celtic

I meant my fav car was a Capri ghia when a Bhoy and still want one

Moaners are the most debilitating types. Just go to your local pub and you will see what I mean. Happy hour for them is moaning about the same things every day. There are some world class moaners on here who would be unhappy even if Celtic do the treble treble with no change at board level.
GG hi pal, tommy McGinty was in my class at school our lady and st josephs hh.
DAVID66 ,if I win the lottery, I promise I will buy you one.hh.

You the fastest unflounce in the West?
Yes, I’ll be there tomorrow and therefore I outrank you? LOL 
Whether Celtic win or don’t tomorrow, won’t alter the chasm created by sound (by and large) sleek widely admired operation by our hard nose business men and ‘tough negotiators’
We’re the envy of many European Clubs have a wee read elsewhere outwith SMSM where we are given zero respect, or credibility.
Celtic Euro ( now Disco ) nights will brighten up an ever rejuvenating vibrant Glasgow where there will continue to be only one overall winner, whilst there’s no cheating.
Estranged detractors like you in or support have my sympathy for what your’e missing, as you are clearly unable to reach out and grasp the fun, despite the overloading trophy room.

Taken from his good side obviously:))
They must have a wee troll conveyor belt, then Alex Rae gies me the heebie jeebies:)))
BCW on a long enough timeline the chances are everyone will be proven correct. But cmon we have seen this movie too many times?
David there was nothing abusive in your post but I think you need to remember that living in an echo chamber isn’t really healthy.
Celtic champs elect. Oh dear. But then again it’s just your way isn’t it?

I knew a John when we both worked in the Gulf.
But I haven’t seen him since 2001
Neil Lennon wanted Dobbie at Celtic when he was at Swansea….

Starry,
Alex Rae was deemed too ugly to play the part of an Orc in the Lord of the Rings. ?

I actually enjoy your posts although pretty extreme and repetitive obviously a bit more substance than tge 49ers but I did smile st this
“living in an echo chamber isn’t really healthy”
Sometimes we should listen to the advice we give :-)
Big Packy 9.07pm

up early for The Hoops
GFTB, come on Gerry the best tims that went to st augustines were from glenboag including me.
I hope Mulumbu is on the bench if not starting mañana
He offers a bit of steel and if they bring on the thug that is Laffatme, then I feel Mulumbu could mark him and give him some of his own treatment, by the way I know Mulumbu can play a bit as well

NEGANON2
The Celtic have just won back-to-back trebles. An achievement, a historical unlikely to be repeated ?
Something to be loved, cherished and remembered ?
When put in perspective our frustrations at the lack of progression, suffice to say it’ll be forgotten. The vagaries of tomorrow’s result will either heighten or blow-away those feelings.
Your one attribute is your consistency. That “consistency” tag, is perhaps wrong though, monotonous and lacking any balance would be more accurate ? Sometimes any topic, let alone football, can become an angle for you to attack the club and it’s supporters.
Critique is good. But keep things balanced ? We have enough enemies without. There’s a lot of joy to be had in watching Celtic ?
The day of reckoning
David66 and JimtheTim
I was merely pointing out our backups are better than their 1st team choices.
Looks like everyone is behaving themselves now, now tomorrow will either be park the bus or they will believe the msm shite that we are that. Hope the latter and we’ll kill them.
Anyway time for a song “forget not the boys of Kilmicheal” ops better stop?

Neganon
Not always a fan of your posts…..but
Don’t be detered by the Group Think Crew…..was out with a Celtic Ambassador the other day and shocked by his chat about our Club….we apparently have a Manager who is referred to as “Chocolate Man”…..no understanding of our mounting anger about this transfer window and other issues…….”Money in the Bank and Share price surge will take care of that”!
Strange era for us supporters as we get to the top of the hill and The General stabs his No2…or is it the other way round!
As a PLC company I am enraged that our CEO is happy to create an internal destabilisation hiding behind
share price uplift and Transfer Monies….
We have a CEO who has been in place for too long (over a decade) and a Board who are (collectively have about a century on the Board) too cosy with each other…….
No other PLC (except a family owned) would get away with this lack of Corporate Governance…..
So Neganon keep up your prickly annoying posts …..you infuriate me but I know the track you are taking and you are not wrong…
Lights blue touchpaper
Its so old
GG aaah.
