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.

Joey Barton Publicity Shot…

Animal rights are seeking footage of the Sevco fan punching the police horse on the pitch at Hamden on the arse, the horse is fine and doing well, it’s had its jag, and is on antibiotics at the moment, but this man must be caught surely?
Stop Press. New Sevco Statement.

Greetings Paul67,
My machine has informed me that Brendan Rodgers has arrived in your Timline,
Marvelous news! unfortunately, as you may not be aware, timverse regulation 1.1.2 forbids me to divulge any future knowledge of the next 5 years on your present timline. I am afraid Ten In A Row will either be your joy or pain to find out. It may though be a wise choice to use your potato fortune to create Thaumaturgy Inc. The company, who, in 2021 wins the exclusive contract to sell all official Celticfc head wear sporting the “Generation of Rodgering” logo. It’s a magical opportunity you should not ignore.
In even better news! Due to Brendan Rodgers revolutionary youth development program my Great Great Grandfather Tommy Titor makes his debut for Celticfc in 2033 at 17 years of age. Signed on the day of Brendan Rodgers press conference Tommy was literally born into Celticfc when Brendan plucked him from his pram and signed him on an initial 10 Chupa Chups per week contract.
Unfortunately for Tommy he was forced to retire from football at 25 when, heroically, he sacrificed himself by leaping from the roof of New Paradise onto advancing hunversian’s during the 1st Battle of London Road. Yelling the immortal ‘Nakamuraaaa’ war cries of the timverse forces, Tommy single handedly disrupted the hunverian advance, allowing time for the soldiers of the Green Brigade to construct devastating Tifo bomb’s that crushed the hunverians morale, forcing their retreat.
In better news though, undercover timverse agent Barton, who had sadly went too deep in his undercover duties, was rescued from the enemy during the battle and after years of treatment at Lennoxtown Cranial Services, was free of the horrific hunverse brain washing and resurrect’s his career as Dolly Barton, timverses mega drag artist superstar, who, along with Banana Nige, wow the world with their flamboyant, controversial and sidesplitting cabaret show’s.
To Infinity & Backwards!

Assault on a horse. Where on earth can he be hiding ?
Maybe Newcastle?

Good to see you posting.
The degenerate scum at the bottom of the Sevco sewer are rearing their ugly little heads once more, threatening a female journalist at The Daily Record … for the crime of writing the news.

DW — Opening the gates in 69?
Never heard that one before.
As for my new found pity on the TFOD2.
They seem to be at the sharp end of a Nat Establishment backlash.
Interested in seeing how this all pans out.
I fear the rougher section of the TFOD2 fan base are going to be thrown under a bus by the brown brogue, bowling club, white collar element to stop any overflow of the issue into the realms of public sector performance issues that could hurt St Nic.

Fresh new blog. This one is about the bizarre Victim Mentality on display by some in Sevconia…

Putting the boot right in.

Good luck with that.

Brilliant – the return of J Titor! It’s been far too long.

Good shout re Chico Muldini
Celtic’s centre mid, cum centre back who might also cover for Keiran Tierney if Izzy moves on.
The sevconion loons have entered a new stage of stupidity,
Making enemies of those who have protected them.
Law, Clark and Templeton released.
From hospital?
Strange wet stuff pouring down from the heavens over ole EK. It’s been a while….
Sell Bitton, Johansen and Rogic.
Keep Mulgrew, Commons and Broony.
Aye.
Genuis plan of action.
Champions league group stages are a racing certainty this season.
Sorry but that defies login in my opinion.
HH.
STARRY PLOUGH
That’s priceless ;)))
HH
Logic.

Yes to Chico Muldini.
Previous experience as a hun skelper.
I’ve never quite rightly understood why he was ever moved out of the CB position to begin with, in which he is a natural.
Slow as a cart horse, but his reading of the game more than makes amends.
His left peg makes him invaluable in finding a pass from the back.

Chico makes ole Mo (the bounce) Bangura look fast.
All that above pales into comparison an awe when you take into account my missus’s disappointment if Chico left.
During a nicht oot I may, or may not have been referred to as her “poor woman’s Mulgrew”.
Well, I am tall at least…
Faith restored. Thank you the miffed Dermot.
So far the family’s commitment to The Rodgers Revolution stands at three adult and one child season books.
Over to you Peter. Time to dig deep please.
An awfy interesting read…stick with it ….I will be asking questions later !!!! And picture BRawdger …how does he set his stall? …
Beautiful windows don’t,t make beautiful buildings !!!
