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.

Early night for me. Up early to catch 6.30 flight. Looking forward to breakfast in Couas and then catching up at the corner.
All Ireland final after our game tomorrow so will be cheering TBIG from noon and cheering TBIB from 3.30pm.
Oíche mhaith.
BSR 9.15pm
Am delighted with being morphed with JNP :-)
I said to Dallas on Thursday you seemed to be “fighting fires on here” with some of the posts that were not favourable to Celtic
Hamilton 0
Sudova 0
If Sevco 0 tomorrow it’s no been a bad week and the Huns will be 7th in the Spl with this amazing start…. wtf would have happened if Steven Gerrards Sevco has a terrible start would they be in the championship :-)

Yeah , we have all sorts on here , huns included.

Celtic Centurion ?
CORRY on 1ST SEPTEMBER 2018 9:20 PM,
Corry Blimey, Name the ‘Celtic Ambassador’ or your post is just worthless made up crap.
OutthewidworkCSC
Some Hun’s change and another song…..
He used to be a Hun but he’s alright now, Alfie, Alfie
Aye guess who?
Corry,
Welcome. But why open with a diatribe against the Board and executives and management levels at Celtic?
Do you attend many Celtic games or even watch them on SKY or BT?
Corry,
Are you going to sort out the back of this bus he keeps on telling no me I’m on ?
Alfie Conn . A sinner who repented.
Neganon
Your posts are sort of what I think when I’m emotional and annoyed.
However, all things considered, we have just won a double treble and sit on 7 in a row.
Was talking to a few confident Huns tonight. If we turn up tomorrow, regardless of the circumstances we’ll win.
I’ve made a right few quid over the past few years betting -1 and -2. Same bet tomorrow.
?(VFR)
No breakfast club for me
I have no game tomorrow
Unlike others, I refuse to accept we are playing anything other than a 6 year old club
Why Celtic find reason to charge its own (7000) fans £49 for this game, only they can answer
It was £28 for same seats last week -that’s what our fans should have been charged
On another point, will be interesting to hear the 6 year old clubs – executive fan group, songs tomorrow and any damage to our stadium
Wonder if the Police will take affirmative action
Corkcelt ,my ticket is no use to him,I’m a older person
Glen well done
Corry,
Are you NEG’s alter ego?
NorrieM good point if there is only 800 orcs then Strathclydes finest should have no problem arresting them for their despicable songs
D. :)
And Neganon
Don’t flounce because we need checks and balances and you provide that.
Also regardless of what’s been said about Lustig he’d be one of the first picks tomorrow. Hunskelper in the extreme.
GG I have never really liked the paradise windfall draw guff. Just another money making scheme.
David. Living in an echo chamber? Just means listening only to those who hold the same views as you – blinding yourself to alternatives.
GFTB I always ensure I listen to those who disagree with me. Done it throughout my life. You know nothing about me. But I do know the board are treating us contemptuously and not just from what you see.
BCW for two years in a row I have had a treble party in my house. The only proviso for attendance has been wear the hoops. Both days were great. I enjoy what Brendan has achieved. I enjoy our successes.
But I always look to the future. About what we could and should be. I always know our lack of ambition will kill us. And so it is again. I think the Cassandra stuff is the most accurate. Time and time again we destroy ourselves because we won’t push on. It’s incredibly frustrating and needless but it seems celtic is destined to be like this. We are weak I’m the boardroom.
But all of the day to day stuff pales into insignificance with the Huns death and our disgraceful part in their revival. We had a once in a lifetime (in fact maybye ever) chance to completely change things forever. To challenge the racism, the cheating, the corruption. To change the game forever.
What had happened since is the most shameful episode of our history and a betrayal of our forefathers and our future generations.
There is no forgiving that.
Does this new blog – continually reload its page?
Or is it just CQN and it’s adverts
Norriem 9.45pm
Police costs must come into the price and am afraid the Jason denayers are in the minority … like it or lump it “fans” want to attend this game, more people are interested in this game, Brendan is here for this game, any signing we can make this game is the carrot … the Huns cheated but to close your mind and think it doesn’t matter is just daft…. and again for some Celtic fans who grew up not winning games against whatever shoite the flies are circling these days Celtic v Sevco is big business
Canny wait CSC
I posted on here over 8 years ago…..and am a big supporter of Paul B…..so to you Johnny come lately calling me a Hun….If You Know Your History….GFY….
if ML plays tomorrow laugh farty will throw him about like a rag doll.
Neg thanks again for the advice, and without sounding like an echo, I hope you are supporting the bhoys mañana.
Do you think we will win?
Do you want us to win, or get beat so you can prove a point?
D. :)
NorrieM
Admire your stance but I just go to see Celtic. Admittedly it’s sweeter when we beat the 6yo club but just because of all that surrounds them.
Ticket prices, totally agree, we had a chance to normalise them and we didn’t take it.

100%
All it would have taken
Their very first game
A welcome to the Scottish league set up
Nothing else needed, to dispel the continuity myth at least
I reckon the ‘leaked’ teamsheet is our starting 11 tomorrow. Hope to see Ryan Christie getting on to strut his stuff.
Big packy1
Brig tims no bother ????
Neg2 9.51pm
At what point did I say I knew anything about you ?
You have always responded to me and I appreciate your reply’s but I think you are one of those Celtic fans (and I know loads) who will never be happy .. hopefully I use CQN as a positive if I used it as a negative I would chuck it
Got a feeling the champions might just win tomorrow ??
Corry the boards contempt for Celtic supporters is pretty well known. They are absolutely living in the shadow of what they think is their own legend.
They are taking outrageous bonuses and no one holds them to account and their are are few sites that peddle their nonsense for favours. CQN is clearly one of them.
The thing is with this is that it will always get you in the end.
Gutenberg the important thing is always to progress. Not live in the past. We are not progressing we are regressing. That’s because the boards goal is not football progression it’s money making.
We are not goal confront and it will destroy us.
That’s goal congruent.
Ron67 9.53pm
Nope, he won’t
GFTB
Big difference between you and I
They are not part of my life
They died in 2012 – thank God
OK Timbhoy, Thanks for the interest.
Just a reminder again just in case. Irish Westmeath Supporter in urgent need of a ticket if anyone can help.
I’ll check back later.
Neganon2
That’s good you still get some joy out the Tic.
You can always say things should be better ? And they have, you simply cannot argue with the happenings at Celtic.
Regarding the Creeps from the Crypt lot, well few did anything ? Not just Celtic PLC, not just the CSA etc. Most remained quiet, inactive and remained happy at their torment.
So be honest. That failing is mine’s, your’s and every other Tims*
* exclude the RES12 guys.
Neg2
The big bad board
Got a feeling you post more about the “bored” than the team
Wonder why ?
Did Peter Lowell, Ian Bankier or Eric Riley stand you up
