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.

Will Grigg?
We shall see Sevco’s League Two signings and raise them a League One striker…
Got to say though to be fair.
Winning Captains post earlier is fine with me.
If all the Res 12 bhoys are happy, thats good.
Lets see what happens.
HH
Statements ?
Statements ?
Statements ?
Hmmmmmm……..?
Eh, what good did the last Statement do ?
Who in Switzerland will give a flying duck if Celtic were cheated by the SFA ?
Celtic supporters were cheated by the charlatans who run their club who, looked
the other way when all the cheating was going on.
Charlatans that included a former minister from the British cabinet and, the much
lauded Brian Quinn who, sabotaged the presentation on the Celtic Park pitch from Villa Real
supporters when, like Fergus before him….he needed to have his ego stroked by the fans!
Well, it didny work!
Both McCann and, Quinn were deservedly booed by the ‘majority’ of the crowd on both occasions
which I was there to witness with my own eyes and, listen to with my own ears.
For my money….Brendan will be an Irish version of Tommy Burns the manager!
Why were, Lawwell and Bankier there with Brendan ?
Why not let DD present Brendan to the fans ?
Lawwell should be sacked!
Bankier is a bull in a china shop, a serpent like Jock Brown.
The Res:12 rebel band are the true legends in all of this.
But,….I smell a ‘big’ rat from any Celtic hierarchy involvement.
Revenge is a dish best served cold.
In Celtic’s case it will be bloody freezing…and probably a bit moldy…
But by Jove, it shall be served!!!
and the SFA will get food poisoning…
And we coulda had Big Mark McGhee:)))
Davidpolous,
A ‘no’ woulda been sufficient.
Funny though :)

As The Donald said yesterday, Big Marko McGhee will take 12 points aff the huns next season unlike the previous Motherwell team uder McCall.
Although, Baraclough(sp) did no bad in the play off’s :)))

Greetings fellow Celt.
Revenge….Peter Lawell cracking another Rory Bremner type gag:)
The SFA will soon take their place as the new Moderators of the Church of Scotland….with Dave King of Africa/Catlemilk in tow, follow, followed by the Satanic Cardigan, Watty.
I might go to protest….with a t-shirt on, that says in huge letters….KAFFLIK:)
HH
…..oot-zzzzzz…..

Why be efficient and to the point when I can just waste everyone’s time? ;)

Hail Hail fellow Hunskelper.
Ian Bankier…what can you do, except boak:)
He is fooling nobody.
I bet he even handshakes his postman in the morning:)
No matter…he will be gone, and the Fenian Rebel Army will send him on his way with a resounding Boooooo.

The Green Man says SACK THE Board
Good day, sir.
No protest is complete without these signs:

…..oot-this-time-zzzzz…..
This is only the start.
It might be the start of a true Growth Agenda or it might be window dressing.
Appointing BR is just the first step on a long road.
Talk of player spend is interesting but we will soon see how correct the £15mill number is.
Next step would be PL moving on to a new challenge.
His facial expression sitting next to BR at the contract signing event suggested he did not want to be there under any circumstances — I was shocked at how shocked he looked.
Consequently the next steps are no more bonus driven agendas.
No more agent friendly transfers and the annual striker donation to whoever is flavour of the month should be now a thing of the past.
6 duds out of 7 is incredible — £10mill wasted at the very least.
DAVIDOPOULOUS
Would that not be funny outside the circus of horrors:)
Ted and Dougal, and Father Jack:)
I was thinking of taking out a contract with the anarchist clown army for a mass flan assault on the sevconians.
Or starting a petition for a blazing saddles type brawl on Glasgow Green with the sevco mob…..for charity and good causes…..raise a right few quid, i mean who much would Celts donate to that, ooft.
Be like Apocalypse Now and Bugsy Malone rolled into one.
Magic:)

The need for Res 12 tells me everything about what is wrong with modern day Scotland.
Too chummy, to cliquey, to much handshake driven, to much settled on golf courses.
The whole sorry TFOD / TFOD2 saga just proves that we are just a haggis republic.
I like haggis!!
A few quotes for those of the ‘malcontent’ persuasion on here.
“A negative thinker see difficulty in every opportunity – A positive thinker see opportunity in any difficulty”
“Negative people need drama like oxygen – stay positive it will take their breath away” (hopefully)
“Holding on to anger is like drinking poison and expecting the other person to die”
MADMITCH on 27TH MAY 2016 11:34 AM
What should we do to change that then?
Not that it’s something I experience in my own life, outwith the cosy cliques of football.
MADMITCH
Its times like this, with the sevco mob poisoning the social fabric of Scoddlandio, that i wish Charlton Heston as Moses…was real:)
We would all be shouting…’Smite them Moses’
Sevco are crazed goat-fiddlers with a 400 year old chip on their shoulders, they are obsessed, and dress up like little tin soldiers with sky blue uniforms on, and walk around in all seriousness with fake plastic crowns on purple cushions.
Now….If that is not barking mad.

What kind of codswallop tomfoolery is that.
Madame Blavatsky or Alan Partridge….or maybe Mr Pastry eh.
My friends in Celtic,
The huns have quoted ” We have crossed the Rubicon ” . As the Green Man or any other historian can tell them , that is only part of the story. Have they never heard what happened 5 years later with ” beware the ides of March”.
Hopefully we will not have to wait the full 5 years this time, but if we do then it will be 10 in a row time. Perfect timing.
For us though we have had and will have more defining moments. The appointment of BR , Res 12 and the adverts must surely bring harmony to our support. As a club, team and supportlet’s lets all collectively bring the Thunder back to Paradise.
We have all waited too long, let’s grab the moment and enjoy our club again.
Hail, Hail, let the positivity flourish suc.
It’s very reassuring that Brendan Rodgers appears to have a direct line to Dermot Desmond. I don’t think Ronny would have had. Any nonsense from Lawwell can be dealt with swiftly.

‘Infamy, Infamy,…they,ve all got it in for me’….Kenneth Williams in Carry on Cleo:)
History….who needs it:)

Infamy indeed :-)))))))))))
Does anybody spring to mind ?

One of the great comic lines of all time.
Greenpinata
Dave King of Africa/Castlemilk and the Satanic Cardigan…Watty/ The Ghost of John Knox, and David Moonbeams/MacBeth
They have no discernible humanity….David Icke might be on the money with his lizard theory:)
Anything is possible.

Anyway belated thanks to Paul 67 last Friday.
Went into a meeting and told all and sundry that Brendan Rodgers was to be announced as our next manager by the time we would come out.
Howls of derision from the unwashed abounded, to be replaced with how the f@@k did you know that.
It’s magic you know.
HH.
New Sevco T-Shirt out today.
‘We ur pure ragin, so we ur, still’

keep getting this picture in my head of all the wee sevcoites crossing the Rubicon on the back of escaped goats.
Think I need a wee lie down
