Neil Lennon seemed hurt by the performance yesterday. “Some of [the players]look like their minds are elsewhere at other clubs.
“I don’t know if they have been tapped up, I don’t know where they are mentally, but you can tell by their body language they are not with us at the minute and I’ll have to sort that out.”
“I have pulled them out of places that no-one had heard of and put them in the shop window.
“And I want payback now. That is simply not good enough.”
Those of you of a certain age might have thought that sounded a bit like:
“You were working as a waitress in a cocktail bar, when I met you. I picked you out, I shook you up and turned you around, turned you into someone new.”
Of course, that girl from the Human League retorted:
“I was working as a waitress in a cocktail bar, that much is true. But even then I knew I’d find a much better place, either with or without you.”
As Human League declared in verse, talent will find its level, but only if it performs. It doesn’t matter where they came from, players who cannot excel in the SPL will drift into relative obscurity on leaving Celtic. There has been no exception to this rule.

Just back from Dubia,a big thank you to the Dubia Hoops for a great weekend,especially a certain “B” a great time in great company.
After watching the game at Dingwall can I suggest we look at a new striker,how about Danny Carr of Dulwich,keep your eye on this young boy,he is going places.
Any word on when the fight against cheating , corruption and freemasonry in Scottish football starts .
Or are we just going to the back of the bus with our tail between our legs .

Someone posted about the Dundee 88 game earlier and I will always remember I was one of the first fans that spewed out of the gate nearest the jungle. The jungle was three quarters full that day and the polis were at the madam, there were weans getting crushed and a few of us decided enough was enough. Thankfully once we were on the track the couple of plods that were there let us walk round to the jungle, well they didn’t have much choice.
Big Cup Winner
The Dalriada bus I was on it the day we beat the huns for the third time in a month at Ibrox as Celtic Park had work on the main stand.
Anyway we are all on the bus and it draws up at the lights near Kinning Park right along side a bus full of the uglies. The usual hand gestures and singing was in full flow when old Frank Skerrett on radio snyde played a request as was his want. Anyway he did say he did not normally air such requests and then said he made an exception as it was bare faced cheek on the part of the guy who phoned in. It went along the lines of ” for all you Rangers fans going to Ibrox today looking for a win. Here is the one and only Perry Como with It’s impossible. Well the Dalriada roared with laughter and the uglies bus got very ugly indeed.
We won 3-2 with the winner coming form a wee jinky header can you believe.
Magic days indeed.

My favourite Easter road memory was when the King of Kings made his debut ! Duly assisted Celtic mad Chick Charnley by giving the ball away to him and he cracked in the winner ! ” are you a Hun ? ” I hear u say lol defo no ! But my mate turned to me in The Celtic end and said ” for effs sake we’ve just signed the Swedish Joe Miller ” oh the memories lol !

Summa of Sammi….
Ye urnae wrang in saying that.
My Son starts fighting harder on the pitch when the Sons are getting beat by a few goals, like happened today against Partick.
It’s ingrained in his DNA, hehe. You know this mentality.
I just want him to shout for the ball and start using his brain and have the confidence to do “tippy tappy” football. ;))

A tanner.
All the talk of old Easter road. I liked it. Remember crowds of 40,000 plus, with Celtic and Hibs fans sometimes mingling.

Parkheadcumsalford ( and others)
I was at the Stanton testimonial with my mum, dad and Uncle Alex. Freezing cold day- last game big Jock was in charge of us though we didn’t know it. Crowd ran on and more chaired wee Jimmy off than Pat Stanton.
I mind we got through early because we weren’t sure if it was a ticket match and we got stand tickets – my mum had done her terracing duty in the fifties and no way was she going to stand now. So we walked back over the railway bridge and Alex recounted the story of the 61 Cup Tie ( from which my dad had been barred as my mum was pregnant). Alex said they’d gone through on the Hamilton CSC bus and got to the bridge and found their way barred by the local constabulary. The crowd was so huge that nobody else was to be allowed in. So they got back to the bus heard the the oohs and ahs of the crowd and only knew Celtic had won when guys on some of the other busses got back happy. And the next day they discovered that the cops had cocked it up big style and that the crowd was only around 25-30 thou in an era when crowds exceeding 40000 were common for games with the Hibs. And neither my uncle nor my dad ever saw John Clark saw until he scored an OG for us when playing for Morton. Sorry for rabbitting on by only Alex and I left of that quartet so bit emotional today.

I remember John Toye oot his face on Stv news
Was he a raj alchy?
NEWS ALERT !
NEWS ALERT !
Just had a text from Bono.
It appears he has ‘ Found what he has been lookin for’
First time at Easter Road, there was a minutes silence for Johnny D. I was about 12 at the time. Memories – can’t remember the score, someone in the home end tried unsuccessfully to spoil the minutes silence, and a huge argument after the game with the polis, as they tried to make thousands cross over a wee footbridge at the same time.

Most of the time I went to Easter Road with my dad , we went to the Hibs end.
Although went in with a few mates , late 80s and the Tic casuals lobbed CS gas at us. Imagine that , gassing their own!
Went through with a mate to the game over the festive this year,ticketless. Celtic End mobbed and no spares, saddened that Hibs wouldn’t sell us a ticket coz we weren’t on their data base!
