Canny really sleep last real night of my holidays so had a wee squint at the “posts” during the game, a thing I always avoid….
A bit of an eye opener some posters more interested than everything apart fae the fitba
Am not saying our fans are perfect and I know for a fact we have total idiots in our support but the “scatter gun” posts on CQN for me shows what posters show their true (blue) colours that’s when it’s hard for them to try and be reasonable :-)

A few seasons back my season ticket was lower 109 on line with 18yd box, the first game of every season was always nerve wracking to see what rocket(s) I was going to landed beside… although in fairness there were probably many many others hoping I might not be back as well :-)

The club should allow fans to highlight these dudes and relocate them to the Upper tier gulag.
The further they are away from the pitch, ie players the better.
Not too sure where to relocate the bandwagon herd to ? Obviously, not within earshot of the gulag.

We’re being linked with Wolfsburg’s Dutch international centre half Jeffrey Bruma. He played at Chelsea when BR and Congleton were there and he went to Hamburg when Congleton was Technical Director.

Strange one yesterday. Seemed to be the usual slow tempo play, lacking in intensity.
Then seemed to spring into life after Partick scored (poor defending yet again). McGregor came on and got the ball moving quicker and – more significantly – Gamboa starts making runs ahead of the ball. Good combination play with Forrest. And guess what – two goals! Who’d have thought!!!
More of this please, Celtic. So easy to defend against when everything is slow and nothing is happening in front of the ball.

I’m hoping the situation with Boyata is a safe ground for the player, his agent and the club to get to the point he can be sold at a fair price. At the moment the actions of the player and his agent have wiped £3m or more from his value inside a week. The English transfer window closing doesn’t help with his value in the least so he is no longer worth £9m and would be worth say £6m to a European club. His strike last week meant suitors could offer a lot less. I hope the player has been reminded of his contractual obligations and the club have made public statements to fulfill theirs…then he is sold and we buy a replacement.
We desperately need an enforcer or aggressive player in the midfield. The reaction to yet another assualt on Brown from his colleagues was disappointing. A Celtic player will get seriously injured if we don’t take these incidents seriously.
A colleague for Brown would to remind team mates that it’s a team game would be paramount aside from a Centre Half. We are back in time with players leaving the foot in or launching head but or elbow. There is a concerted and joint effort from other clubs, managers and their friends in the press to employ sleekit Walter Smith and Souness style tactics. Think Rangers 2008 only every other team gets away with trying to seriously injured our players. The tackle on Brown yesterday was a potential career finisher.

Izaguirre played well yesterday i thought. Bigger tests for him lie ahead when asked to defend against better quality, but i thought he strolled it yesterday. It was noticeable how he passed more positively than KT who seems to pass backwards now quite frequently. One particular pass yesterday to Griffiths in the first half was sublime. He wasn’t shy to kick it long either. Izzy had been there and done it with us, knows exactly what we are about and will always go to the end. So many times in his Celtic career he got down the wing and put in a cross that got us a goal when we needed it. A very astute signing and all round good guy to have in the dressing room.

This morning’s quick quiz:
Who actually are Celtic’s biggest detractors ?
A) The SMSM
B) The Celtic support
c) The Huns
Hot Smoked on
The BBC:
” Celtic scored twice in the last 12 minutes to avoid a shock against Partick Thistle ”
Likewise, on teletext, they had something like ` Celtic avoid defeat`.
Is there any other team in British football who have a victory described as ` avoiding defeat`?
This kind of reporting is why posters such as myself are so loathe to criticise Celtic online and why I , at any rate, take exception to the seemingly jocular ` Happy clappers` label.

Boyata should never play for us again, refusing to play should be a step too far. However, when Simunovic refused to play in a qualifier last season (Astana?) he wasn’t punted and has played many games since. He wasn’t so a precident was set.
The manager has to talk up the possibility of him playing again, if he said he was finished at the club his rapidly decreasing value would virtually disappear. Hopefully we still get £3-4m from Sevilla or anyone else who’s interested.
Jeffrey Bruma, if he’s over his injury problems, would be a massive upgrade on Boyata and any of our other centre halfs. Hopefully there’s some truth in this rumour.

If he makes mistakes then he’s no good for the Tic. Our “support” is too fragile to have a centre back who makes mistakes.
As a minimum he must have 100% pass completion rate.
