With the arrival of Dedryck Boyata, Jozo Simunovic and Erki Sviatchenko over the last 12 months, Charlie Mulgrew must have wondered if he would be offered a new contract which his current deal expires next month. Especially so considering how little football he’s played in recent years.
An incoming manager would be excused for looking at his squad and thinking Charlie was surplus to requirements, but, as we have touched on in recent weeks, the story of Celtic’s defence is more complicated.
Erik has been an unqualified success, but Jozo missed most of the season through injury, while Dedryck and Efe Ambrose suffered unfortunate (cough) spells of form. Charlie is a few years past his Player of the Year prime, but he’s a reliable consistent defender, who I’d have in the team before Efe or (Euros bound) Dedryck.
We have a bloated squad and need to move players on, but it’s no surprise Brendan Rodgers let Charlie know he wanted him to stay. He’s the right player to occupy third or fourth spot in the central defensive roster. We’ll wait and see if Jozo can grab second spot.

Jings, Stewart Robertson’s interview with the rag is as embarrassing as when Allan MacDonald hired a psychologist to analyse the behaviour of Hugh Dallas during THAT match…

That wisnae so much embarrassing as a waste of time and money.
Analysis summed up as behaving as expected,like a hun.
McDonald must have been mad to cough up for that(!)
I know it’s from the Record,but this article is a belter!

Just a wee heads up for renewals which finish today
If you have the renewal form you can put your card details and pop in the box rather than waiting in the queue
I know it’s a DC Thompson paper but this headline about our Dundee game in the States was pretty sharp
Dundee Telegraph
Morning all.
DD , enjoy your hols.
BT. Renewal form posted yesterday. HH

I’ve sent my dad down today again, he jumps the queue;-)
Mini and the nephews are being placed at the back of the standing area, told them they will love it and won’t get wet for a change as their seats had been at the front of the section last few years.☘☘
So trips to Lisbon and Philadephia next year. Here we go!
Just arrived at Ticket Office, must be 100 people in front of me and it doesn’t open until 09:30…worth the wait…
Keep the Faith!
Hail Hail!

My friends in Celtic,
It seems the human brain can only remember 7 ( Seven ) pieces of information at any time. How the f@@k are you supposed to remember all the poxy passwords required for every occasion and transaction.
I wonder if that’s applicable to Zombies ?
HH.
The Box is inside, still need to wait until Shutters are open before accessing the Box.
Keep the Faith!
Hail Hail!
Lennybhoy,
Why not just phone up. Of course that is if you can remember your client reference number. More poxy passwords.
HH to you, good luck and I hope it stays dry for you and the gallant>100.
BOBBY MURDOCH’S CURLED-UP WINKLEPICKERS
That’s very true, but the stupidity of playing into the media’s hands like that was just cringeworthy, from memory they ripped the pish out of him.
Lennybhoy
Make sure you get them to ensure someone only wishing to drop form in the box can move into a different queue when shutters go up
Goooood Morning CQN
Lennybhoy, would think possibly 10 to 12 assistants for ticket office this morning
When I was there it covered lunch so dropped to 5 which delayed process
BMCuWP
Had a wee look at that link, one of the side stories is suit kicks out at young Hibs fan, so their showing it, about time the Police arrested that thug
Also many photo’s of those poor frightened Huns with their fists or boots hitting people, looking to be identified
Has the record not taken enough :-)
Seriously are they retaliating for yesterday ?
GREENPINATA:
There is drizzle in the air, rain doesn’t bother me, not when I am signing up to what will be an exciting season.
Just hope I don’t get mugged…but hey, there are no sevconians around…:)
Keep the Faith!
Hail Hail!
BT:
Cheers mate.
Cowiebhoy:
What a way to spend a day off, in Paradise…:)
Keep the Faith!
Hail Hail!
BT.
Two good moves. Sending the original Holy goalie to que jump & getting the young ones in the standing area.
How long will the close season positivity last ?
And we are off, opened 6 minutes early.
Keep the Faith!
Hail Hail!

And we are done, back to County Coatbridge, mission accomplished…
Keep the Faith!
Hail Hail!
Having been particularly busy over the last week I have had little time to post. But I have been dropping in from time to time.
I have to to the board must be extraordinarily pleased with themselves.
All their plans have come to fruition.
When the Huns died the board hatched a plan to await their ghost returning. Celtic were put on ice. Fans given platitudes about managing on our own. 5 years of dismal downward spiral (added to previous downward spirals) ensued.
During this time the board wantonly attacked any sign of dissent from supporters and Paul sold us multiple squirrels to keep us distracted.
Bursting with pride they felt emboldened enough to tell breathlessly about Moneyball. We sold players for lots of money but never reinvested it. Meanwhile nothing was said about the boards complicity in cheating. Their silence and their love of the Hun.
This season saw the culmination of that so called strategy. Short memories abound. Humiliated by the Huns at hampden was only part of it.
And so we get to season book time. The board were slightly panicked. Supporters it seemed were at the end of their tether.
What to do. Well now the racist love I. With the Hun was returning the board felt they could push the boat out a bit. That would attract the support.
And lo it has come to pass.
Have you heard anything lately about the board making a statement on res 12? Naw of course not.
Has Paul analysed our strategic failings. Nah no need. We got Brendan Rodgers and the support duly oblige.
Nothing has changed at cp. sure we signed a good manager. But the strategy hasn’t changed and perhaps more tellingly th love in with the Huns is intact.the corruption and racism, so prevelant to see in the reaction to the cup final is all around us.
You are all signing up to it.
So no more complaints please about cheating, lies, downward spirals, heated driveways, res 12 etc.
You are playing your part.
GREENPINATA
Try
Seven777
in future. Shoooorly you’ll remember that!
Btw,I agree with you. Forever using that handy wee “forgot password?” tool.
Many have said that last weekend’s double blow (Rodgers and Hibs) was too much for the huns and tipped them over the edge, hence the irresponsible garbage from level 5 and the insane statement from Robertson yesterday.
However we should never lose sight of the fact that these people are traumatised and mentally scarred by the death of their beloved club 1872. That is not meant as tongue in cheek. It’ll be the first thing in their minds every morning and the last thing at night. They can create their own fantasy world and keep living a lie, ably backed by the msm. They know and we know it’s all false, and they know the ‘war’ was lost.
The Hun will remain twitchy, stir crazy and ready to explode at any time, for at least another generation yet. They’ll continue to dish out death threats like confetti and draw up hit lists of hate. (is David Murray on any?).
Anyway I’ll some them up by borrowing a nice quote from another cqnr a few months ago. ‘Their supremacy is gone and they don’t do equality’.
COWIEBHOY
Interesting indeed.
Perhaps as you say,the Record is finding fault and pointing it out for a change. The huns might just have gone too far,for once.
Oops… Sum them up
Can anyone confirm if Neganon2 is outside the ticket office with a placard saying “down with this sort of thing”…
NegAnon
Maybe, just maybe, they really believed they had unearthed a gem in Ronny two years ago but got it wrong?
If we’d appointed Owen Coyle last Friday I bet you’d have been on the blog every day this week.

Just left the Ticket Office, nobody with Placards to be seen…:)

WEEBOBBYCOLLINS
I was gonna post a eulogy to my all-time musical hero,His Bobness,on his 75th birthday on Tuesday.
But I just chooned in,turned out,and dropped off instead.
Nightshifts,you probably know what I mean…
PS-it was also the 25th anniversary of the too early death of another genuine legend,Gene Clark.

Thanks Lennybhoy
Just one more thing (swivels round in Colombo mode)…
Was there a big amiable Yorkshireman handing out tea to everyone ?
