Adam Matthews has been on top form this season, his pace and partnership with Mikael Lustig have been unfailing for Celtic, so Neil Lennon will clearly feel robbed at a top players injury-enforced absence for three months.
It could be worse.
An injury to Forster, Ambrose, van Dijk or Izaguirre would be difficult to accommodate but we are not short of right side-midfield options. James Forrest is now back from injury and although Derk Boerrigter joined as a left-sided player, he has already featured on the right for Celtic. If Boerrigter plays on the left Samaras, Commons and Stokes can all feature on the right.
One man’s cloud is another’s silver lining, just ask Beram Kayal, who kept Victor Wanyama on the bench until he was injured in December 2011. Victor got the run in the team he needed and never looked back.
Signing van Dijk was a response to an unexpected transfer request/not in the right frame of mind to pull a jersey on statement from Kelvin Wilson, but the major planned summer activity was to inject pace into the team for Champions League games, specifically through Boerrigter and Pukki. For various reasons we’re not there yet, maybe Ajax at home later this month will change that.
Blown away by the 1254125 donations, which have flooded in since Friday. Each donor, from those who donated £5 to the several who gave £125 (like it!) are a credit to the spirit of those whose footsteps you walk in. Promise to stop pestering with a link to the page. Soon.
Thank you.

TinyTim:
They broke my heart too, just about every other weekend, but they played football on the deck going forward, a fading memory now. Tommy Burns’s reign was the last of the Celtic Way. That is not romanticism, that’s just fearless.

Add Forsyth and Stevens.

That wouldn’t surprise me at all.
Still, dan Brown’s no a bad story teller!

Nothing up with lending season tickets when fans can’t make it Celtic want to get off their high horsey.
What’s the story behind this? My daughter ended up in hospital and since then we have given away our tickets. Moreover our ST’s currently sit with some unemployed bhoys who could never afford a game. Are CFC checking ST’s at the gate? Our next game is at Easter Rd however don’t think she will make that one either.
Modren 43″ Samsung plasma connected up with the DVD player via scart is rubbish.
Delaneys Dunky:
Correct… and Forsyth and Stevens.
Here’s a question for you, and all, dirty hun players roll of our memories, but who was the dirtiest Celtic player you ever saw.
(not Bertie Auld, as he was not dirty, he was a retributioner)
!!Bada Bing!!
Go out and buy a power card
Love
Kitalba
Davie Hay was as hard as nails, however, not really dirty.
Played some golf with some well know CQNers on friday-
I was changing after and phone rang
“hello darling Im in karen millen Ive just saw a lovely dress its £450 -can i buy it?”
“yes of c”ourse darling I replied your worth it”
5mins later the phone rang again
“hello Im in Fraser now I just saw a lovely pair of knee high leather boots they are £350 -they would just go so well with the dress-can i buy them?”
“of course darling-buy them-you are worth it”I replied
10 mins later the phone rings again
“hello Im in Mappin and Webb now there are a lovely pair of diamond earrings available they are £950 -can i buy them?”
“buy them darling -you are worth it!” i replied
I then turned around in the changing room and shouted
“does anyone know whose phone this is?”
My old eyes are going.
I thought somebody was connecting their TV to the DVD with a scarf.

Probably Aitken for me but to be honest I’m struggling to think of any.
Connect DVD to TV with HDMI cable…
Works for me

Celtic have NEVER had a dirty player!
Just commited tacklers!
My old dad says that the hardest Celtic player he ever saw was Sean Fallon.
Whenever he made a challenge he (my dad) swears that the ground shook!
RIP Iron Mhan!
HH!!

Sorry to say, Peter Grant. Just no very good at it.
Bada BIng – are you manually changing the input source to scart? If the tv has it as an input and the dvd player is on and working, then there’s no reason for it not to work unless a) the scart input is disabled or broken, or b) the output on the dvd player is broken.
Hah just remembering a couple of my early faux pas at Celtic games…
Jungle 1992 against either Hearts or Airdrie and I felt the referee was being unfair in some of his decision’s so I started to belt out the refrain I was used too which was “who’s the Barsteward in the black” I got some funny look from the Jungle Jims around me. Took me a while to realise that the “whose the Mason in the black chant” was reserved for the referee! I had no idea what a mason was!!
I was sitting in the main stand at tynecastle on those god awful wooden benches. Tony Roper was in the row behind me. Anyway Mark McNally made a howler that led to a farts goal (they won 1-0) and I started to give him pelters! He was getting it tight! Anyway turned out his mum and dad were in seats directly in front of me and my brother! Thankfully they accepted my apologies with good grace!
One of my funniest memories was going to Anfield on the road to Seville, my brother and I were travelling ticketless but managed to secure a ticket for my brother while waiting for a connecting train at Preston. Then my mate from uni Eddie phoned me at about 5pm (big Celtic fan but a dyed in the wool Evertonian) to tell me he had got me a ticket, something to do with his brother in-laws mates wife going into labour. The ticket was for the Liverpool main stand, 2 seats from steps in between the fans and the dug outs and 3 rows from the front. Sammy Lee was literally a few feet away! So the first goal goes in and I didn’t know if I should celebrate until I realised a good section of the main stand had erupted – queue madness! Now all during the game the scouse wifey in front of me had been tearing big bad john a new one. This women had an irrational hatred of all things Welsh. Big bad John was all useless fat barstewards, he was a lazy fat see you next Tuesday etc. Grown men were blushing with this bints invective! So of course BBJ pops in a glorious 25 yarder of which I had a perfect view and I remember screaming what a goal, what a goal! (listen carefully on the road to Seville DVD and you will make out my dulcet tones) and jumping about like a loony for a minute or 2.
Anyway things all settle down so I tap this lady on the shoulder, Nada – she blanks me and stares straight ahead, my tapping becomes a bit more persistent until finally she turns round and dead pan I say to her ” no bad for a useless fat lazy welsh see you next Tuesday was it?” Lots of the Liverpool fans around me saw the funny side, can’t say for sure she did!
Anyway I remember at the end of the game going up the steps to the back of the dug outs and jumping on a very happy Tommy Boyd!
I dont think they worry too much about transferring season tickets. I have a concession ticket for my son, If he cant go, I can pay a few quid and upgrade it to an adult for one of my mates. I can do this 3 or 4 times a season.
However they do not like it if an adult tries to enter with a wean’s ticket. The only other problem would be if you gave your ticket to someone who might behave in such a way as to get lifted as that would lead, rightly or wrongly, to you rticket being suspended.
Anyone else played that game with Winning Captains list?
Know him, met him, WLTM, avoid at all costs etc or good Ghuys, good Ghuys, w&#?? As it’s known in some places?

Mike Galloway. Both dirty and rotten. Regards McCulloch I did say wannabe hard man.
Hamiltontim/Tallybhoy:
There were a lot of Celtic players who could look after themselves, and others too. I never thought Aitken was ‘dirty’ but I DID have my suspicions about Mick McCarthy, Rafael Scheidt, Zheng Zhi, Eyal Berkovic and big Bobo.
following on from BGFC question bout date of our AGM ….Any word?
BADA BING
Take out the HDMI cable,as it will override the scart.
Next time,use the TV remote to switch between inputs.
Should work.
BoscoBhoy02:
Correct, forgot about Mr. Galloway.
minx1888 praying for Wee Oscar
Ha ha very true but the jungle had a 5 star atmosphere!!
Bada Bing – you may need to manually change the input on your TV to the SCART channel using the AV/Input button
But I would suggest buying a DVD player with HDMI output that up scales DVD’s to improve the picture quality.

If you’re talking about Berkovik etc then I’d put Blinker in there too.
Peter Grant was’nt dirty.
He was always so far away from the action he was diving in from 5 yards and beyond.
So he only looked dirty.
Delaneys Dunky:
Peter Grant a hardman? Peter Grant was to bare knuckles like Kris Boyd was to Olympic diving.
Eurochamps67 ate my Cadbury’s Flake
… the bear.. hard but never dirty!
