Patience from the champions

206

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.ย  They will defend deep but patience from the champions spirits pay off.

    I donโ€™t think so. The McClair fee was ยฃ800,000. Still a steal. Brian was a far more valuable asset to Celtic rather than the unmentionable who left on the same day.

    I was being sarcastic. I think Celtic wanted 2 million and MU offered 400,000.

  2. I like Liam Scales. A good honest player who gives his all.

     

    There is no doubt he has been under some pressure in recent games.

     

     

    I also vividly remember the loooooong injury that Benji Siegrist had when he came back from Australia which was well documented for months on CQN.

    one of my all time favourite pictures, the uniqueness of the season, five trophies won, and another not shown.

     

     

    the pride of lions and the quality cubs coming through,

     

     

    those staff members, those managers,…………. the best team in the world for 5 years or so.

     

     

     

    and then my own management training , viz a viz, body language, poitioning in meetings, jostling to be “the man”, negotiating its me that is the owner, boss, my celtic, the grandson of the original captain.

     

     

    look at his steptoe face, i did this.

     

     

    look at jocks peripheral position, i know he is a big man, but to actually stand behind someone else really.

     

     

    we have talked about our finals and finals.but did his political stance come at the cost of progression for our team.

     

     

    mibbies.

  7. and and and ………….

     

     

    a real irish man wouldnt have accepted that knighthood.

  8. Philbhoy- I am good sir thanks for the kind words, I hope you and your good lady are good.

    Had a look at that fabulous photo and then had certain thoughts. Then ….. I saw your next post and thought, “Yep, THAT’s what I was thinking as well.” What a quadruple of suits, thinking THEY (sorry Big Jimmy for the CAPITALS๐Ÿ˜Š) should be sitting there in the front row with Neilly, Sean and Benny Rooney, and of course The MHAN relegated to the back row.

     

     

    And I think your reference to the Knighthood is sound by me – years ago I was approached to see if I would accept a ‘local’ honour for community work that I had been involved in. Politely declined, saying that I hadn’t done anything that merited an ‘honour’, only what me and others in the community generally did because we could. I loathe and detest the s0-called honour system and the hangers-on that can’t wait to get on the gravy train.

  13. A quick Google search tells you that the champions league is gonna be worth 37% more than this season and money distribution will be more preformance related. If celtic win the league, that is the story, if sevco win the league its 60 million, got to love the cheerleaders and easy to fool!!!

  14. Is there a indoor training pitch at Lennoxtown Training Centre,players training with rain and damp weather

    Good evening all from the Victoria Bar. You are an absolute shower. So there now.

  18. It’s very obvious that the lead article is never proof read, let alone common sense read. Quite staggering how the main man of the blog has let standards slip.

  20. As you do on a Friday night when Mrs Emeraldbee has family around, you find yourself fannying about on youtube fitba vids and you sometimes come across a wee gem.

     

     

    Feel free to ignore because it is not directly Celtic related (though there are MANY Celtic connections), but found a video I’d never seen before about the afters of the Hibs Scottish Cup win over the Hun. Some smashing wee personal cameos to enjoy.

    Re your grandson – Great stuff. You’re quite right in being proud of him.

    Fred Colon currently on a flight to Seville?

     

     

    BRRB, have one for me please. A pint of Best preferably, but anything will do ๐Ÿ˜€

     

     

    Big Jimmy, had a below average performance at the bookies this week. I love Cheltenham but pay very little attention to the horses at any other time of year so I’m a bookies dream.

     

    It’s a great sporting event though. Just a shame my work gets in the way most years ๐Ÿคท

  26. I have been unenthusiastic about Celtic this season but we are in a title run-in so now is time to unite and get us over the line.

     

    Where we are at the end of the season can wait until end of the season.

    I agree Chairbhoy i hope he has 2 winners medals in tow before an appearance in the Euros in the summer.๐Ÿ‘

     

     

    Brendan was in good form especially as Bada points out the the ‘stare’when reporter failed in every way to get a narrative going re Matt O Riley who i hope comes back refreshed and injury free from his Danish friendlies.

     

     

    Lets put the work in against St Johnstone tomorrow and be cliche like- one game at a time,the games against the Dublin Dreamers are distant and a semi final to go against Aberdeen before any final,i mean you never know the cousins of william might tantrum :-))

     

    Lets stay grounded,focussed on winning each game,and hopefully build our own cycle which will be goaded by huns,hun meeja and their triers on here.

     

     

    We are Celts CB,we win and work for it by our own means and by our own play,no knucklerubbing here thank you @thebunnet :-))

    Hvala Hrvatski Jim!

     

     

    I love Croatia and have had some amazing holidays there. Favourite place has to be the island of Privic Luca.

     

     

    Agree with your post. Now is the time to pull together and get us over the line. Feck the SFA and the mini Huns! We can do this!!!

  29. Neither Celtic nor Sevco have frightened the SPFL teams as they have in the past. Most teams have taken points off one or the other this season. We’re now running up the hill at Cheltenham and we need to see if we have the squad stamina that they don’t have.

     

     

    Tomorrow should be a straightforward 3 points but with our weakened defence, it is less straightforward. I still fancy our chances more than theirs on Sunday.

     

     

    But- there’s many a twist to come yet. Looking forward to it.

    Best wishes to your Grandlad.

     

    I am sure Davie with your family support he will be grounded in whatever field or career path he takes in life.

     

    I recall years ago on these pages it being written that the probability of making it to become a topclass footballer was on a par with becoming a top class neurosurgeon,not doctor,not surgeon but neurosurgery.

     

     

    So it is an immense achievement to aim for,whilst at the same time growing up,experiencing life,adolescence,dips in form,poss injury,all while improving.it takes a lot,i wish him and your family supporting him

     

    the very best.

     

    God bless yeez

  32. Hi Melvin

     

    I don’t know that island but, looking it, it looks very typical of Croatian islands (there are over 1,000 of them). I often pass it if we have to drive from Split or Zadar in Dalmatia to Montizana which is our village near Porec up in Istria

     

    I’m going to see Croatia v Portugal in the Estadio Nationale in June thereby killing two birds with the one stone, metaphorically of course.

    Fritzsong,was that the 1st year of freedom of contract? You are correct it was a steal,downright robbery if you ask me!he had been top scorer iirc correctly since signing.Yep we loss lost Rambo to Munchen in Bayern along with merde.i am sure there was a 4th went(murdo??)who left that summer.

    Iโ€™ve mainly been to Croatia on sailing holidays, but some on land also and absolutely love it. Been to Split, Zadar, Dubrovnik, Sibenik and Trogir and all amazing places. Been to loads of the islands and national parks etc. Is a beautiful country.

     

     

    Where are you based?

     

     

    Off to bed now. Speak tomorrow or after.
