If you haven’t had a chance to listen to the podcast I did with the LostBhoys on Celtic in the 1950s (superb production quality, you should check out what they are doing), I took the opportunity to mention the Hibs team of the late forties and early fifties, including the celebrated Famous Five forwards.
They won three league titles and narrowly missed out on another two as they unequivocally dominated Scottish football. They were probably the best team in Europe at that stage, only the lack of a formal European competition denied them recognition. Celtic battened down the hatches against Hibs in the 1953 Coronation Cup final but nothing would be the same again for the Edinburgh club, although reputation got them an invitation to the inaugural European Cup, in which they reached the semi-final in 1956.
We learned today that the last surviving member of the Famous Five, Lawrie Reilly, died, aged 84. Their achievement should be suitably acknowledged (this is not an endorsement of Willie Ormond’s later work, obviously).
The news that Hibs have today bid £200k for a striker is significant. £200k doesn’t buy you much in English football but it is a substantial investment for any club, apart from Celtic. Maybe Hibs long period in the wilderness is coming to an end.
I only caught up today on the Scottish Sun’s online coverage of the arson attack in Salsburgh (alas, not unique in the bus industry), complete with photographs of Celtic supporters and Neil Lennon (all of whom were four hundred miles from the incident). I remember reading a story on rape, robbery and assault in London in The Sun back in the 80s, accompanied by inner-city photos featuring exclusively Afro-Caribbean-Londoners going about their business. Real subtle.
Remember the email Charlotte Fakes produced on negative news stories against ‘other’ clubs being planted? Utterly breath-taking. Scottish football, as it was, and for some, still is, is inherently an unstable influence on Scottish society. We need to take our business elsewhere and I don’t believe any of our top-flight colleagues would object.

I tend to think Doyle is more of a Sammy type player than Hooper. Agree? Seems to do his best work outside the box. I’m just not sure that we need another player like that when Hooper seems set to go. Rather see a predator brought in.
Thoughts?

As the game is on Celtictv I’m assuming sausages will be available from usual suspects
Summa The normal butcher outlets are indeed advertising square sausages and as I’m within the unavailable footprint, I will be enjoying the culinary delights of the square sausage tonight. twists n turns, Doyle may be getting used in that roving role now but certainly in his earlier days he was a very effective striker. He was also quite strong a la Hooper which I think is hugely important for the Scottish game in particular.
A wee wummin has just told me that we needed that rain.
All i need now is for another to tell me the nights are fair drawin in and all will be right in the world

What I think we need is to reconnect with the type of balanced play which created a lot of chances during Izzie’s 1st season. The chances that were made during that time brought the type of buzz to the place that was up there with – Centenary year / Wim year / MON years imo.
Since Izzie’s injury the chances created by the team in general has brought an unfavorable light upon the strikers. Neil’s reaction when Izzie got injured was numbing to say the least.
Get the balance right – the chances will come – the goals will fly in and hopefully – this will be reflected in some new ditties from the peerless bhoys n ghirls of the wonderful

Good afternoon Celts, is the game on the telly or is it still all royal birth nonsense.
Congrats to the happy couple by the way and to all happy couples yesterday for that matter.
So if Celtic make the group stages would Pirlo be our playmaker or am I dreaming the impossible
Tut tut jack irvine
Fergus McCann is a PIVOTAL figure in Celtics history…….thats a fact. Without him we would be neighbours with Third Lanark.
Sooo……..
1. Think Hooper is already gone but we are getting a couple of Euro ties out of him.
2. Artjoms Rudnev looks a very good player and the perfect foil for Balde if we can secure him.
3. Bangura is a sore one (financially) but dont think he will be a game changer against us
4. A quality attacking midfielder and we are there I think.
5. MSM talking like its 2 seasons and the orcs are back as serious competition???…….We should have around 40M in the bank, no debt and a team thats completely off the radar.
Happy days indeed……..
Thank you to EVERYONE in Celtics history who have kept us going for 125 years…….
We are all Celtic………

HH, Always in Celtic.
To all of you fretting on the legality or otherwise of the documents being leaked – there is an easy way for the MSM to avoid that pitful and thats simply to ask the people in question around whether the documents are genuine or not. The journos are only asking a question on the veracity of the information and are not responsible for its posting or where it came from.
You dont need to use the documents just start asking some questions – dead easy. The denials/non-denials will do the rest.
It wont happen of course.
new article posted.
MickTT:
I have no idea how it started but I know from experience that when you send an e-mail you are accountable.
If what Charlotte is posting is fake why are the police, the lawyers, the courts, and the SMSM, not ripping her apart?
Two trains of thought regarding Gary Hooper tonight.
He appears to want to leave although he may yet sign a new deal. However…..
1. The game this evening will put him in the shop window and a few goals and a good performance and certain clubs swithering may take the plunge.
2. Gary Hooper gets a serious injury.
Neil Lennon will take the chance I reckon.
With the lack of top quality clubs in for Gary Hooper he may just be swayed into staying at Paradise for a few years yet.

Celtic better not ever deal with media house. What a vile bunch.
