They can call themselves whatever insolvency practitioners allow them to be called, but even the court assertion, that Charles Green bought a Basket of Assets, not a football club, seems overly optimistic. That lot look more like a Basket of Liabilities than assets.
I told you Joey Barton was a good Celtic man, there to take their money, and self-respect. Their big former Arsenal centre half is four years younger than our big former Arsenal centre half, but good grief! You could forgive him for being short of pace, but acting like an immature simpleton is unforgivable.
Moussa Dembele’s Perfect Hat-trick (one with the head, one with the right, one with the left), was a charm. We watched Henrik give us so much, he deserved to score a hat-trick against Oldco Rangers, but the history book was closed on that one with Harry Hood’s in the League Cup in 43 years ago.
I have witnesses to saying “We’ll have to settle for five instead of seven”, when hearing Leigh Griffiths would miss out today. Dembele (20), put in a performance which defied his inexperience. He looked like the £20m player some think we’ve signed. What’s more, he’ll continue to improve.
Tom Rogic had clearly been identified as our most dangerous creative player. He was hacked throughout, before retiring early in the second half. Scott Brown and Nir Bitton were also on top of their game, controlling the crucial central area.
Both full backs, Mikael Lustig and Kieran Tierney, got assists, as they created width to allow the central players to do their stuff.
Brendan Rodgers will hopefully highlight that the only two attempts on goal we conceded came a moment after we scored, near the end of each half. Teams notoriously lose concentration after scoring.
I’m off to find out who their no. 4 was. I’ve him down for two assists on his own. Liabilities, to a man – the keeper apart, who did well.

EXPAT CELT, I meant to say that maybe your wee Bhoy can get back at the mini me zombies at his school with an old Celtic chant that they and their dads ,( if they know their fathers) ? that they have never heard before ?
Then again your Bhoy could just simply say FIVE WAN !

I agree – keep it simple and straight to the point!!!!!!
Ah, The Parlour. Love it.

Thats why I asked him to show me the banner he claims mentioned chris boyds bro. Still waiting.
Only my opinion and I’m sure the usual hand- wringing etc comments may follow …. But I’ve followed Celtic for more years than many of the GB and others have been alive and in my opinion simulated suicide or killing is in bad taste full stop. and referring to them as Hun Scum and Know your place portrays remnants of the Croppy Lie Down mentality. We should be better than that.

It’s pleasing to note that unlike Scotland’s newest club who saw their training exercise against inferior Linfield FC as “The perfect way to get ready” for their own massive match up against our beloved Celtic, that our players and management acknowledge that a friendly kick about on a Saturday afternoon isn’t really a yard stick to be playing in big games with. We fully acknowledge that playing our world famous rivals Barcelona is not going to be an easy task, but we assert that we aren’t making up the numbers by going, just being realistic.
Others would suggest that pumping a pub team 7-1 (or indeed 5-1) means that a team is world beaters ready for the big time, but not So our own world famous club.
No major gulf in the teams?, At first I thought this was a miss quote from the Warbs, thinking that maybe he had been asked about the other derby being played down south and that he thought they were an evenly matched side, but it appears that the poor man was still in a state of shock and he thought he was being interviewed about The THE rangers last match against Linfield, which I am sure you will agree is a much more honest appraisal of the man’s team.
I’m sure this was an over site from the magic hats otherwise exemplary explanation of how it is that the “funny old game” of football actually works, from cunning insights such as “To get in the champions league, we need to win the league, that’s how you do it” to his rather passive handling of Mr Boss Barton and the enormous pressure that he placed upon himself and as a result Sevco with his “Just banter” and “twitter balls” The pre match handshake says it all, Such a shame that twitter balls don’t translate into actual balls eh?
IF I was to say the result was no more than I expected then that may sound a little arrogant of me, but rest assured I never expect result, I hope for the best and prepare for the worst, that’s a trick I learned from finishing fourth in the league during high school years, you gotta develop thick skin when that sort of crisis is going on, but this time? I just knew a pumping was on the cards and really did expect it and I was not disappointed in the slightest.
Trust me, no one let Joey “the buggie” Barton and any evconian brave enough to surface, I even appluaded them for “Not walking away” It looked more like shuffling off hoping the cameras weren’t watching. know on twitter more than I did yesterday and a lot today as well, I’ve used twitter more yesterday and today to pull him up than I’ve used it in the past two years, mostly I go on now and then to call Peirs Morgan a cut with an N in it.
But I guess since all of that never happened within the shadowy realms of Scottish football spourts writing, then his team never got made to eat five goals and ran off the park in the first 20 minutes, Boss Barton not even getting onto the park before his head went down as Broony took his measure, then topping that up by running face first into the side of Rogic before appearing stunned, The only thing that stunned him was the realisation that he had joined a diddy team then made claims of walking the league and how longingly he looked at the Celtic support.
All in all, a good training match and a chance to get it right up a lot of loud zombies, who can’t face the fact that they too bought into a diddy team thinking it was something else.
TLDR? “And the cry was no Senderos”
I must admit that at the offside zombie goal, in real time I was concerned about our keepers role ? However, after seeing it again I have to say that Michel zLustig was fast asleep ( Nickel had a great match otherwise IMO), The cross was over hit, and perhaps De Vries thought it was going long and/or that Lustig would clear it ?
So my apologises to our gialie.
As for Michel Lustig.I’ll let you off this time but don’t let it happen again young man !
Adair’s son mad pup deid.
Daily ranger tomorrow headlines about blow up dolls at Celtic Park and IMO gross contradiction as they claim that the dolls appear to represent ” executions” ?
They then state that it was more distasteful as it was national suicide day ???????
I have never heard of national suicide day, and I would assume that I am not alone ?
However, that being the case the story printed contradicts itself as ” execution” and ” suicide”, are somewhat different the last time I looked ?
Level5 at work.
Scum
I hope the donut goes to the Barca game and gets goaded by Barcelona fans and I hope they really piss our mustachio benefactio offio
Then maybe Celtic can call the CL home next year or is that kind of response only for the OF?
Yesterday was national suicide day?
I thought Brexit was a few months ago?
P**h
God bless.

Some good pics there from the Willie Vass guy………the one at the hun end ….”rcs Korea”…..either someones taking the piss out of them or maybe they do have fans in a far off distant land……couldnt see any Koreans next to their banner or maybe it was just imaginary.
Good to hear Paul67 on Five Live.
Good to put a voice to an Internet bampot.
