It was far from beautiful flowing football at Inverness yesterday but the players raised the tempo sufficiently to get the result. Leigh Griffiths scored a classic poacher’s goal. He missed plenty against Kilmarnock and Ajax but that’s part of the territory of being a striker.
I was delighted to see Carlton Cole make his first appearance for the club, and for anyone since last season. His first touch could have resulted in a goal but his sheer body mass caused sufficient panic in the Inverness defence that a goal resulted soon enough. There’s a lot of work ahead as Carlton looks to get match fit but he’s exactly the kind of foil we’ve missed this season.
For all the Zonal Marking Detesters……… We’re now man-to-man and we’re still conceding headers in front of goal. The problem was not resolved with the switch to man-to-man. Defending corner kicks requires a physicality and alertness which we’ve missed all season. The sooner we fix this and get back to zonal the better.
On the subject of physicality, Dedryck, this is your hand. A brick wall should have been thrown up in front of Miles Storey at the Inverness goal. I accept we have unresolved issues at set-pieces and that we’ll lose goals as a consequence. Goals conceded on Thursday – a deflection-come-ricochet, and a breakaway, had little to do with the defence, but yesterday’s Inverness goal was just rank bad defending.
At Carfin on Friday I told Phil MacGiollaBhain that there was no way Dave King could weasel out of paying Mike Ashley his £5m, having said he would do so. Phil referred me to the “glib and shameless liar” part of King’s past and not to be so naive. He could have a point.
Ashley holds the aces here. Any attempt to ‘play’ him will fail.

Auldheid,
Ssssshhhhhh don’t feed the troll, ignore the troll

Why would I threaten you..its a blog ffs.
What I am saying….is that I wouldn’t be surprised if someone took exception to your slanderous lies.
You cannot go around abusing Celtic supporters…..That’s what Huns do.
You give it out, you will get it back.
You do sound like a Hun.
CT the elephant in the room?
a Mammoth tusk tusk to td67,
I nominate Babar the Elephant,sartorial elegant in a nice green suit.
Best recruiting sergeant for the Celtic Trust on the blog!
Where do I sign up?
Watched the ICT game again last night, I know, I know, and tried to gather an impartial view of our performance.
I’m not normally one who picks on any one player but will make an exception now. Armsrong just plainly was not interested one little bit and if I were RD I’d be asking Dundee United for my money back as the product does not meet the desired standard. I look at the effort of most of our guys, yeah effort and to me that is the most important part of a players game.
You will recall the banner which Newcastle fans showed last year, saying, We don’t demand a team that wins, we demand a team that tries. Me too!!
On a positeve note I think given time our central defence duo will do ok but we are crying out for a defencive midfielder in the Neil Lennon mould.
January will be here soon and time to clear wawy the dead wood, and there’s plenty enough of that.

I am missing your point.
The CST have not been involved apart from initial publicity.
Are you saying they should have been?
oops, canny spell defensive, stupid bhoy
THE GREEN MAN on 1ST DECEMBER 2015 10:50 AM
Aye ok Ally.
Kinglubo,
How do you propose the deadwood is cleared out, I’ve heard this suggestion for years and still to witness a right good clear out, players generally don’t volunteer to join the bru.
JFH
You have been on the blog for a while, as I have.
Now if you think back, really think hard on this, I will wager you now, and I will promise now, that if you can find a post from those who are critical of the board, no abuse has ever come from them towards another poster unless they have been attacked first.
The abuse has always come from lets call them the board lovers.
Now back to my promise, if you can find a post that has come from those who are critical of the board attacking a poster who didn’t attack first I will never post on here again.
And I will keep the promise.

Now I don’t know who said it, and can’t remember exactly what was said, but it was along the lines of after we had the resolution, we handed it to the CT to have a look over it, words to that affect, it’s not 100% Verbatim , but along those lines, and it was after you had the proxies, that I do know, prove it? Nope, I can’t.
TD67
I don’t care what you say to me….its water off a ducks back.
However….once you start to abuse good Celtic fans, when they are trying to make a difference, that is going too far.
A so-called Celtic supporter, who behaves like a Hun….that’s what you are.
You should be ashamed of yourself.
You really do sound like an auld bitter Hun.
But hey….nobody is having your nonsense at all.
If you want to abuse your fellow fans….go to Ibrox.
You will fit right in over there.
Kinglubo
We say that at every window how we need to clear out the deadwood…………but we never seem to do it.
IMO some of the diddies on our books have very little transfer value and every other team knows that.
How much is Stokes worth? Boerighter? Armstrong? GMS? Scepovic? Efe?
Ssssshhhhhh, don’t feed the troll, you only give it the chance to spread its lies, ignore the troll.
Mulgrew?
Lustig?
Izzy?
Ronny?

Hope you are well buddy!
All well here!
Take care!
The Green Man
You think your the first one to come up wi this crap, away yi go an geez piece.
TD67
Pure fantasy. The resolution was developed amongst a number of CQN contributors none of whom were doing so representing the CST in any shape or form.
As one of those contributors who knows who was involved you can take that to the bank.
What you believe simply did not happen. I’ve the end mails to prove it.

Thank you.
God Bless Olivia and all who are close to her.
Hail Hail fella.
Where is BMCUW ?
I hope he’s ok.
Auldheid
Well that’s what you say, I don’t have proof, but I don’t make things up, it was a while ago, and the CT had a read over it that I do know, you and I will have to disagree on it, I know what I read, you say it didn’t happen. Fine.
The Battered Bunnett
Dermott Desmond legacy. THE biggest issue facing Celtic but who has the right to speak for the supporters? We cannot agree on anything minor never mind major as mis constituted.
That needs sorting out pdq.
THE EXILED TIM. Fella the past is the past and neither you or I can change one second of it so I see looking for who attacked who in the past is a pointless exercise in my opinion.It is only today that you and I can have any influence on and for me and I hope you that influence is for good.We have the situation where one posters is being harassed by two or three other posters because his views differ from theirs now when this is pointed out they say but he started it or he wants the last word and so like children they go on squabbling .It will take the bigger man or men to say enough is enough we are never going to agree so lets accept each others differences and move on.H.H.
:OD)))))))
Auldheid what would you know :OD))))))
KingLubo: Didn’t the Green Brigade have a similar banner in August? It was heavily criticised here.
KEVJ. Did somone not say he had flounced earlier ? H.H.
Dena29: Left a message on the blog for you last night. My next visit is on Jan 23rd so hope to see you if you are over then. I reckon my next visit after that will be in April.

Your post at the bottom of page 9….
I hope you stood up… one a fully extended and bellowed that “let it goooo” at the top of your voice… in true frozen princess styleee
Ha ha :-)
Hail Hail… ps I haven’t read page 10 yet. .. I hope all is still pleasant :-)
The dark room pov…..I think that it’ll take the return of the died-huns next season….probably when they come to Celtic Park…on the pitch they’ll probably savage their way to a, mibbery-assisted-cheating win against us and, offf the pitch they’ll be doing their usual stuff…bigoted-song-sheet with focus tapping their toes to the tuneful pageantry…they’ll break seats with impunity ala the Ajax animals, then spread their befouling-hatred throughout the country for the rest of the day.
Celtic fans will be up in arms…the silent-kowtowing Celtic board will do what they do best….look the other way.
Nobody wants to see any of the above….but….I’m afraid it will be needed to get the Celtic fans onto the same page and…finally realize that…Celtic FC needs restructured.
Time to get rid of Fergus’s children…Desmond, Lawwell etc…PLC….no more.
It’s always darkest just before the dawn….

He’s fine!
Self imposed ban I believe.
I was talking to him yesterday, he’s fine.
