Our struggles this season first emerged been on August when St Johnstone first visited. Then, they were bottom of the league but earned a point and could have left with more. Having escaped Perth in December with three points after being behind at the break, there will be no over-confidence among the champions.
Whatever bounce Craig Levein brought after his managerial arrival has dissipated. His side have win only two of their 10 games since the break, at Ross County and Aberdeen. They will defend deep but patience from the champions spirits pay off.

The funeral mass for our dear pal Alex, Eurochamps67, will be held at St Peter’s, Hamilton, on 3rd April at 10.00am, and on to South Lanarkshire Crematorium thereafter.
If you can, please do come. It would be good to pack the place out for the big chap.
Rest in Peace Eurochamps67
Thank you for posting TBB👍
Hail Hail
The biggest winners on Paddy’s weekend?
The city of Dublin.
Liverpool looking on the kind of form that they will be there, though.
Are articles now written by AI?
Very short and littered with grammatical errors and gobbledegook

Very strange

I’ve dropped a number of similar slack messages recently in work and at the doctors this morning I couldn’t remember the last 3 digits of my better half’s phone number which I’ve been rattling off for 20 years!?
P67, hope all is okay with you and yours and this was just a rushed spell corrected post rather than symptomatic of lack of sleep/stress caused by Celtic or any of the more important things in life!

I have a suspicion our main man paul67 may be posting some basic stuff to keep the blog alive
His passion has diluted since the waring words against the Lawwells
Sad but the passion of the best blog on Celtic seems to be a little less today than it was before Marc Lawwell left

Paul’s likely on holiday and posting on a mobile phone with an unreliable signal. Cut the bhoy some slack, eh.

I posted something in a similar vein a couple of days ago. Very unPaul-like recent offerings – bland, brief, almost a lack of real interest – so yes, your AI suggestion may be right, or, maybe we have a stand-in who has been instructed to touch only the basics.
On the substance of the piece, i.e. a wariness of St Johnstone – it is sad that our lack-lustre form has brought us to this. It should be a case of how many, not, if any. However the last two encounters with this opponent is of course a reason to be wary.
The bigger picture at Celtic makes me to feel that there is something ‘afoot’ at the club – something that at this moment in time is being hidden, maybe for understandable reasons, from the support and the media – what it is I don’t know – I could make an educated guess, but I won’t – suffice to say that the sooner it surfaces and is dealt with the better.

I’m genuinely not looking to critique spelling here. God knows, my typing is hopeless. I own that, along with gnarled knuckles and myopia.
However, the lead articles are just quite odd of late.
Most posters have a style, a fingerprint. The lead articles seem different from previous.
Anyway, no issue. There may be enough in the 2 paragraphs to generate some lively discussion
Good afternoon all from the Brazen. Raining again, oh well.

Looks like the rain has spoiled your walk….get a seat beside the window just to check if the weather improves,you don’t want to be stuck in the bar with all the rowdy racing fraternity and silly happy hour deals.
…”something that at this moment in time is being hidden, maybe for understandable reasons, from the support and the media – what it is I don’t know – I could make an educated guess, but I won’t…”
Yes, some of us know what you are hinting at…but what makes your ‘guess’ educated?

what it is i d not know, but if i make it up someone will agree anyways.
Perhaps the articles are being written by a guest and not by Paul. They do seem odd and mistake ridden. Maybe it’s one of the moderators.
Should let kevj write an article or two….I’m sure he’d come up with something original
Occasionally I like to try a wee bit of pastiche writing in the style of another. See if you can guess who?:-
“I have no idea if anything is wrong at the club but I am definitely going to say there is. It might be nothing but that is unlikely. I could tell you what it is I’m thinking but I prefer to just hint at impending doom like a scrabbling fake fortune teller hoping you’ll just come to a conclusion about the subject on which I am floundering.
We all, even Big Jock, have a good idea what I am hinting at but, rather than be explicit and expose myself to ridicule, I will just leave it hanging.
Just saying
No smoke without fire n’at.
We all know it’s just not right.
P.S. The League title is headed for Ibrox and you (ed. Change that to we!) have only yourself (ed.- likewise ourselves) to blame.”

PS The big bad Huns won`t accept thousands of young fighting age men being `planted` into they`re country….real refugees aye ok…but a covert ‘plantation’ like which is going on in Ireland, England, Wales, EU, USA, etc, would spark off an army of at least 2 million Hun rampaging animals that nobody would face…so the ‘plantation’ won`t be attempted in Scotland no chance.
Incidents like this 👇️ might be something to do with it? 👀️

More to the point…why do Celtic not recruit players from colonized countries or rather anti imperialist countries?
Celtic won’t even sign a 1st team player called Kevin ffs.
If Kevin is too Fenian a name for Celtic FC then the club really is now small in stature.
The price to pay for having ahem business men running what used to be a working class club.
We’re now Woke-ing class more like…banning your only actual influential group of fans [until you start dropping points or the Green Brigade would still be banned] banned on any match day because the latest media fuelled bandwagon dizny like the Green Brigade’s ethics!!!
And the other 58,000 cardboard cut out fans just sit there and watch this ban…some on blogs cheering and posting their approval of the ban?
Football needs to be de – Thatcher – ised.
All – seating is a Thatcher anti society scam, fk all to do with safety…Hillsborough was a psyop set up with 97 Liverpool working class lads sacrificed for Thatcher’s scam, remove unnecessary all seating, along with all tickets, were only us vs the Huns needs to be all – ticket maybe cup finals as well in stadiums with lots of standing room like when football was real.
This availability to stand freely anywhere on the terraces is what normalised fiitba gemmes used to be like back in the day when football was working class.
The odd soft touch Tim will say…..
“Oh I don’t want somebody pissng down my leg for 90 minutes!!!” 👀️
If you stand and let somebody piss down your poor wee troosers…that is up to you!
What are these folk like?
Maybe they should tuck in their petted lips and go away and start their own blogs….oh wait! 👀️
Now we are a propriety club were rich shills like Sir Rod are part of the new upper class in their own heads version of Celtic, run by self adulating crooked non working class yins.
The Kelly’s and White’s would not have demanded that the – Jungle – remove Palestine banners…because the Woke Establishment and the BBC, SKY, etc, didn’t like that narrative..but the supposedly much better new PLC Executive did fall into line with the Wokeratti narrative….that is not the place for Celtic FC to be.
Time to get the thinking caps on Timmy. 👀️

Public Enquiry demanded
Rainjurz didnae get a penalty, why ?
OOPs, forgot, European referee
KINGLUBO, absolutely correct. Mind you the ony bit of the game I have seen is the goal, scored in a counter attack from a Sevco corner, and in the almighty chase back the Thug Lundstrom tries to take out the first guy with the ball but he had already released the ball. Correctly the referee played advantage, but after Benfica scored the referee failed to apply the rules and did not book the Thug!?
Small point I know, but even we Gollum once booked a Sevconian after another Thug tried to clatter Broonie who had released the ball. Advantage was played (he writes in disbelief!!) and after we scored the referee that teaches in a catholic school trotted back up the pitch and booked the offender.
It can and should be done.

They’re a desperately limited side and created next to nothing all night, maybe one Dessers snap shot, that was the total of their attacking threat.
Holding midfielders coming out of their ears and big men upfront who, are quite simply, shite.
We should be aiming for 2 wins against this lot.
…………….
Agree absolutely with every word of your post. I’ve also stopped looking for favours from other clubs. We’ll have to win this on our own – though Motherwell should be congratulated for spanking them a couple of weeks ago. Our failure to capitalise was entirely our own fault. I still feel very, very hopeful that we’ll do the business.
Just looking at our possible post split fixtures: three home games against probably Sevco, Hearts and Hibs/Dundee/Motherwell and two away games against Kilmarnock and St. Mirren. We need to win every game or draw at Ibrox or Rugby Park and win every other game.
From last blog:
Didn’t we beat Nacional (Uruguay) 3-0 to ope the new Main Stand. I thought we best Penarol (Uruguay) 4-2 a few years earlier.

You are correct. I think he is having a well earned rest.
We need our 3 players back and we need our manager to really ‘own’ the rest of the season the way their big guy does……not constantly saying he needs better quality …. And talking down the very people he should have fighting for him.
Their big guy inherited plenty duds and some average guys low in confidence. Certainly nothing like we had in capability.
He told them they were good and keeps doing that. He ‘owned’ the situation and worked with what he had. He bought on a similar pool to us at the window. But owned it and seemed to do better.
He has a squad and team who ‘own’ it and fight for it on the park. We have manager who seems to be hiding and looking for excuses. I hope he can get his seige mentality thing going because I don’t think he has much else.
As an aside
I now think I agree with most that Peter Lawwell should move on. Not just for his own interests which is obvious. We have an entire leadership group from owner to CEO to manager happily allowing him to take blame for stuff he does not actually control. They are out of the firing line while he is there. They should be accountable but are not.
We will have a few years in the shadow of our rivals as the real accountability begins to become apparent but hopefully those who feel Lawwell is to blame for the disgrace of 17 trophies out of 21 this past few years will welcome his not being there. That will make up for it.

*might be to protect the already poor playing surface at Parkheid until it can be re-laid in the summer.
Nawrocki still out.
Hopefully back after the international break.
