If we are looking for reasons why Celtic have dropped so many points in recent weeks it is revealing that we have not kept a clean sheet away in the league since Boxing Day, and that was to bottom club Dundee.
Losing goals, of course, is seldom about the last line of defence, and losing goals this consistently is seldom even an issue with defence, in dominant teams, defenders are seldom taxed. It is more likely a consequence of the shape of the team. Goalkeepers should be protected, as should defences.
It’s the midfield we should be looking at. Dominate possession and stop leaving spaces for the opposition to exploit; we’ll stop losing goals and start winning games.

Another link from 2009 with the outline proposal

Our media people should be telling these journos where to go. Continual questions about Sevco – away to Govan and fill your third division boots. We have plenty to talk about and it’s time it was made clear to them.
He’s got a job………?
back to basics @ 20.07
Perhaps if Mulgrew worked harder at his defensive craft instead of running around wearing a red nose we would ship fewer goals.

Everyone is debating whether or not sally should be sacked …… What everyone is forgetting is that there was, and is, no alternative to sally …… There is a major cover-up in place ‘off the park’ and they needed one of their own to ‘hold the party line’ while they try to sort out the mess ……. Sally / jabba have been fully briefed to go along with the spin ……the only problem is that he has no idea how to manage a football team and, as such, is adding to their grief ….. the bhun fans are now starting to wonder what the hell is going on….and what is the future ‘on the park’ with sally at the helm….
What they need to appreciate is that greengo does not give a monkey’s about the long term, since he is only interested in holding things together until his financial strategy is achieved ….. sally won’t be allowed £1 above his current player budget next season, since greengo is trying to maximise the ‘cash in bank’.
I think the sevco chairman was starting to ask questions ( just like grieg did with Agent Whyte) and has been slapped back ‘into line’ ………
Are there really “plenty”? How big a number is “plenty”?
We are far better when Lustig is in the team.
Starry plough. I’m like you and IMO the vast majority of hoops fans. I don’t ever want to play them again EVER. Heard that sad excuse for a sports journalist Keevins on ssb tonight stating that all celtic fans want them back in the to flight. I never felt any as much enjoyment as relief in beating them because it meant I wouldn’t have to suffer the crap the next week at work. It would also stop any more kids getting beat black and blue from the hordes which happened to me after my first O F match late 70s my crime was not to listen to my old man who told me to hide my scarf. Thought I was going to be killed. Hope they die again and this time stay dead
So peas and barley is sitting at a pc and has the question that shouldnae be asked, what does he do
Could you imagine if he said naw, imagine the grief he would have gotten from that mental mob.
Remember Lenny saying elbows tackle on Beram which practically finished his season was 2 committed players going for the ball.
Its not just us the whole of Scottish football is terrified of their phsyco fans, FFS they wanted tae burn doon Starks Park.
Who was it that first played the orange card and thats why we are where we are.
!!Bada Bing!!

Unfortunately that’s not very often, and when he is he rarely completes 90 minutes. Not sure what his problem is.
Lustig & Wilson would be my central partnership if Mikael could stay fit.

‘finished his season’
Wonder if Beram has fully recovered since then?

both are equally important
but
if and when sevco visit celtic park.. i expect my club to make no references to previous games or old firm or their old history
should they chicken out…. im out
It seems they are not equally important then actually, as you are not out if there is no level playing field? But you would be out on this issue? Fwiw, I don’t actually believe you would be. It will be mentioned, and you and most who say they will, won’t leave. But supporters will become more and more disinterested, wether they want to or not, as long as the cheating goes on. The cheating is a more important issue imo.
Nice touch from Raith Rovers donating part of their gate receipts this weekend when they play Dunfermline to the steering group led by Jim Leishman. Class act.
K33-It is strange the amount of times he comes off around 75-80 mins,but we look far more assured when he is there.HH

i recall the ‘rise like a beckon’ statement from Paul67 and nothing has happened since, tbh i think its another pipedream, wish i was more optomistic, but until ground is broken i am an non-believer
Charlie Mulgrew should watch just one youtube video – the one of him and that toerag Lafferty while he was at Aberdeen.
Then ask him if the league is better with or without them.
Forget all the financial carry on to gain an advantage, show me another team in the league who’d get a decision like that one.
Nuff said.

Riot police attacking Shamrock Rovers supporters in Linfield, scenes look very bad for all involved.

Players & staff should be coached in dealing with MSM.
E.g. hack: Charlie do you think you need sevco in the PL?
CM: pardon?
hack: Charlie do you think you need sevco in the PL?
CM: Sorry?
hack: Charlie do you think you need sevco in the PL?
CM: Come again?
hack: Charlie do you think you need sevco in the PL?
CM: Can you put that in other words?
Hack: ya duty effin’ …..!!!!!!!
Or
hack: Charlie do you think you need sevco in the PL?
CM: what do you think?

It’s not often I disagree with every single point on a post but you got full house.

“lennon as manager of celtic is coming to an end”
I salute your magnificent closely typed prose, your way with words, your paragraphless flights of fancy, your intrepid unfailing use of lower case…….
If only Neil Lennon could get with your undoubtedly superior programme, sir……
“Oh and the media lost it’s balls the day that – Gerry McNee hung-up”
I think that’s nonsense.
There is still plenty of balls printed in the media. You can see it regularly in the DR hotline column and hear it on SSB.
And if it’s the precise shape of Mr. McNee’s balls you are looking for, they can be seen, and occasionally heard, down in Heraghty’s on the South Side :-)
sftb
will take your word for that ;)
Beware the hunlurkers……

You have castigated Lenny from the moment he was appointed. We get it, you don’t like him. And before you give it ‘I’m entitled to my opinion’… Of course you are. Just as I am entitled to say your heid is full o horse mince!
Anyone with old ‘Sack the Board’ material – please forward to Everton.
It would appear that the ‘Toffees for Change’ are on the verge of an uprising tonight!
nukey bovril
more horseplay ;)

toffees for change …. is that no the jammie dodgers advert

Auld Turnball Hutton is the type of guy who should be involved in a reformed SFA.
Think he has…what are those hingmys called…principles! And some baws n aw!

Well, if the club don’t do what you say, and you leave, I guess thats up to you. I can’t know what your going to do, thats for sure. I can take a guess though, and my guess is you won’t leave everything. Maybe your talking about just going to the games? But I do not think I am wrong that you see how our club reacts to playing the ‘new rangers’ as more important than having a future where the game is on the level, your comments seem much more interested in this. As for more people leaving in one go due to what our club says about old co/new co, or more people just becoming disinterested and slowly leaving, I also don’t think I am wrong here. People will be saying this and that, and they will be angry , but they will still watch. It’s the SFA who will ruin everything far more, than our Current board.
The boy Jinky
I have been reliably informed by an insider of said establishment.
Plus, the bhould Gerry was there the last time I drank in that fine establishment
‘Arise, Sir Turnbull’
Why can’t the ref position himself in line with the last defender and his assistant, at the corner flag?
That way, the ref covers offside and his ass. covers the goal line.
Simples.

Whatever happened to Gerry McNee?
Burnley 0 Hull 1,if Charlie Austin is worth £6 mil,so am i.
sneddoni
your talking pash… you dont know me… so maybe use your guesses on a fixed odds coupon or the lotto.
sftb
just dont be tempted to take any pictures of gerrys ali mcgraws.
is big billys pub not just around the corner… lmao
charlie mulgrew really should have kept his mouth shut.
celtic’s PR people should be telling the hacks to p*ss off if they only want to ask questions about some third rate division 3 mob
I think G McNee spends most of his time west coast of Ireland.
