    Spoke to Paul In O` Sheas CSC .

     

     

    Told him that there was a guy on CQN who wanted me to pass on his good wishes , but I didn`t know his name.

    Just watched the Official match highlights. You can actually hear the crack when Jones kicks (assaults) Moritz.

    So many positives from yesterday its hard to know where to start!

     

     

    But defensive strength must be near the top of the list, especially the new bhoys who have been pilloried after a slow start to their Celtic careers. But Julienn is growing into the role quickly and Bolingoli was dynamic, looking comfortable on the ball and with an incredible engine helping keep them pinned back. Took a few sore ones himself and thought he was a real contender for MOTM.

     

     

    Like everyone else was bemused by our kick off but it worked a treat and it set the tone. Kill their momentum and take the intitiative.

     

     

    Feared the worst when Broony miscontrolled a ball in the centre circle after 8 mins and thought that our good start was going to be undone, it handed Rangers momentum for a couple of mins max but we rode it out and Broony came onto a game after that and showed his leadership qualities as well.

     

     

    So lots of brave tactical decisions and not least to play Mikey after a couple of poor displays at Ibrox(albeit out of position).

     

     

    Btw – for all the comment that Rodgers is a great tactician, if he was our manager we’d probably have lost yesterday. Forster didnt pass the ball to the back 4 too many times, it is the right idea to get it up the pitch and reduce the risk of an error from our back line. Doesn’t mean you can’t play good football, just do it in the right areas through your best technical players! There are no extra points for each pass from your CB to your LB and back again.

     

     

    Remember saying last week during the meltdowns that if we seen the AIK tie through and avoided defeat at Ibrox we’d be motoring. Well here we are, we’re more than motoring now and with a couple more signings to come and the best firepower we’ve had in a long time we have a lot to look forward to.

    I saw the Official Celtic Twitter site post that said “Thanks for the invite” and didn’t get it . . . until a mate pointed out that rangers have been posting “Welcome to the Party” tweets whenever they win.Brilliant trolling!

     

     

    Right, the three points are in the bag. No time to dwell on it around the boardroom table today.

     

    “Who’s in and who’s out?” is the question of the day for them.

     

     

    If we assume Taylor is in and thus Jack and Calvin out, what else will happen today? The ETims Rumour Mill is back with a few wee gems as is their want. Bid coming in for Simu, Ntcham off in January when Turnbull signs, BR trying to give us Benkovic again and a loan deal for Wanyama is close . . . .

     

     

    As they always say, it is made up p**h, but let’s imagine. If Simu goes then Benkovic would be a great piece of business.We know Ntcham wants to leave, so no big surprise there. Wanyama for a season? Briliant but who does he replace if not N’tcham? He won’t be coming to sit on the bench so that would be the end for Ntcham I would think right now.

     

    Have a fun day everyone – no doubt we’ll end it with 1-2 signings that no one has even mentioned :)

    Best ever “I wanna be Eduoard” by Arlene & her dup pals doing the rounds… am useless at uploading stuff hopefully Bada or Pog will get it on here …. it is hilarious :-)

    Sitting here facing the screen with the obligatory hangover but happy nursing it.

     

     

    As happy as I could possibly be with yesterdays result, I’m even happier for Neil Francis Lennon. What a man. My only hero in football.

     

     

    Hes returned but hes returned stronger, better, calmer, composed and smarter.

  9. timaloy29 on

    Just a reminded that after the painful loss to Cluj Phil Mac was telling stories about Julien not being any good and not signed by Lennon.

  10. timaloy29 on

    I was initially worried to see Micky in the starting lineup for the game. I had hoped that Ntcham would have started and Christie could have been shifted out wide. It actually worked out better than I could have hoped. Micky pops up and creates the first goal and then Ntcham comes on later when the game was stretched and absolutely ran the show for the rest of the game. Proper 10 out of 10 performance from Olly.

  11. Greenpinata on

    Guys,

     

     

    On the whole I thought Madhun had a good game.

     

    He could easily have taken the easy option early on and sent off Callum McGregor . A straight red or two yellows , one for diving.

     

    This would have changed the game, of that there is little doubt.

     

     

    Yes I wondered where the six minutes came from, but all in all I have no complaints.

     

     

    We should focus on the positives, and we have sooooooooo many.

     

     

    PS : Has CQN ever heard the tale about the boy who cried wolf.

     

     

    HH to all, the journey continues.

    I shared your worry about young Mikey but if you watch the game again both him and Bolongoli defended really well… I canny remember another game when Cafu, I mean Tavernier hardly crossed the ball.. listening to our media you would think he was Cafu… but nothing ever mentioned about his defending as I would say both of our goals were around his area ….

    Micky has really grown since he last visited Ibrox. Credit to the lad.

    Humble pie scoffed – have you ever eaten humble pie while smiling ??

     

     

    Yes I was one of the so called bedwetters

     

     

    My gripe all along was the support (lack of) PL was giving the team

     

     

    My gripe continues with PL

     

     

    But more humble pie from me

     

     

    Yesterday suggested (one good game does not a player make) that we have the makings of a great centre half in Julian as well as a 2 good full backs 3 players signed on full contracts and signed as early in the transfer window as was possible – well done PL

     

     

    But I struggle to understand the thinking in not playing jullian and Boli v Cluj ?? But hey ho

     

     

    We are still a few short and today I am sure (last minute shopping again) we will buy today

     

     

    But why so late Peter – every window is the same

     

     

    As for yesterday outstanding Celtic

     

     

    Apart from dominating the game there was a couple of little moments that I think we got away with

     

     

    It is unlike McGregor to go in with studs up but he did it is also unlike him to go down without contact but he did

     

    The ref is not on my Christmas Card list but I was grateful he was on his best behaviour yesterday

     

     

    I am aware Arfield should have had a straight red as well and the ref let that go

     

     

    If the ref had been Beaton I have no doubt CMcG would have gone then it’s a different game, possibly different result, then PL not getting out of jail for free

     

     

    So from a Humble Pie eating bedwetter well done NL and the Players

     

     

    Now PL get some work done

    I respectively disagree .. Madden is a cheat and if you use the MacGregor tackle (which I think was a yellow) and I think “diving” is a yellow when trying to gain a penalty .. why let Ryan Jack go studs up into Bolongoli … we do have many positives to concentrate on but should always highlight the cheating … remember Boaby has his conscious bias it’s ingrained :-)

    An old Maestros favourite :-)))

     

    I hope we sign him Pig.he would be a wonderful addition

     

    Hope you enjoyed yesterday.

     

     

    Hope youz all enjoyed yesterday

    GFTB on 2ND SEPTEMBER 2019 9:45 AM

     

     

    I thought the ref was alright and the Ryan Jack one was shocking but in real time happened so fast…not sure what his position was…

     

     

    Beforehand I maybe didn’t expect Madden to go all out and be obvious about it but probably expected a lot of the marginal calls to go against us…the little, seemingly unimportant decisions for throw ins or free kicks in non threatening positions that you forget about but which give a team momentum and change the flow of the game.

     

     

    He could have done that and pretty sure it wouldn’t have made a difference anyway. A lesson was handed out yesterday and now we are set up for the season again.

    GENE – congrats on El Camino, Peregrino: I did La Ruta De La Plata 6 yrs back. Buen Camino!

     

    Agree with posters the officials did a largely honest day’s work. I think Boli had studs showing v Jack, too?

     

    TIMALOY29 – meanwhile Phil’s blogging nemesis – JJ – predicted that an inept NFL, his new signings, the stingy board and our club/team would be swept aside by SG and associated staff collective genius. Same blogger disappointingly quickly covered up his error – and erse – by putting the toxic article behind a password wall. Writes we’re signing Cosgrove and McKenna. Bloggers chase clickbait every bit as much as MSM titles do.

     

    Oh and before I go – big thankful gratitude to:

    The manager, Scott Bain & Scott Brown dropped the ball against Cluj.

     

     

    Lessons appear to have be learned. Game management was excellent against AIK & Sevco.

  23. GFTB on

    67 ECW 9.45am

     

     

    I also wonder why Neil played Bolongoli in Romania 1-1 draw but didn’t play him at Celtic Park .. thankfully I think Neil now realises his error(s) …. but

     

     

    “every window is the same“ canny remember the last window we upgraded a full defence with £12m+ signings and three premiership players who have recently commanded £30m+ transfer fees, maybe some signing/loanees need persuaded by guaranteed European football and not qualifiers … can’t really remember many transfer windows like this one :-)

    QUADROPHENIAN on 2ND SEPTEMBER 2019 9:52 AM

     

     

    JJ also said David Moyes would be Celtic manager and Celtic bought by the Glazers. What a joke.

    It’s all about opinions.

     

    If I had to take my green tinted specs off and mark the Referee out of ten , I would give him 8.

     

     

    I can remember games where the referee in this same fixture would get a big fat zero.

    Trad88 9.51am

     

     

    I don’t think the ref had a bad game but watch again from 85mins on, at 0-1, he was giving them every opportunity to get the ball in our box, after the Christie blatant foul wee Alfredo canny score against the Celtic dived for a foul on the byline… no hesitation Boaby gave the foul… at 0-1 his conscious bias would always kick in… when Jonny got the 2nd he then could not effect the game… again I thought he has a decent game but still cheated … any 50/50 decision in my opinion went the way he preferred

  30. Back to Basics - Glass Half Full on

    Didn’t see game so can’t comment on performance of Sevco fan with whistle.

     

     

    What I can say confidently, and others have already mentioned, is EVERY TIME I have seen him officiate in the flesh – he awards a free kick for an imaginary foul in the Celtic half.

     

     

    Shot at goal, cross into the box – basically a free play for the opposition.

  31. GFTB on

    Greenpinata 9.58pm

     

     

    See my reply to Trad88… I don’t disagree I thought he had a good game but still favoured one team even if just marginal decisions.. and some blatant ones as well :-)

     

     

    By the way I think he is one of the better cheats

  32. traditionalist88 on

    GFTB on 2ND SEPTEMBER 2019 10:00 AM

     

     

    Yeah there were a couple near the end I thought were pretty contentious but having been well pleased with how we were playing I was prepared to give the benefit of the doubt I suppose…the Christie one… no slow mo needed for that.

    Celtic chasing deadline day transfer for Man City right-back Jeremie Frimpong

     

     

    CELTIC are chasing a deadline day move for Man City’s teenage right-back Jeremie Frimpong.

     

     

    SunSport understands the Hoops are poised to land the Dutch-born 18-year-old in a permanent deal.

     

     

    Frimpong has been at City for three years but could move to Parkhead before the window shuts.

     

     

    The versatile full-back can also play on the left and is known for his pace and powerful running.

     

     

    He was part of the City under-23 side that reached the quarter-final of the EFL Trophy last season.

     

     

    Frimpong was also a key member of the under-18 team that lost to Liverpool in the FA Youth Cup final.

     

     

    Celtic have already signed Southampton teen Jonathan Afolabi and Bolton’s 18-year-old Luca Connell this summer as they build for the future

  35. lazydynamite on

    Not being negative but…

     

    Could someone explain to me why club bruges could afford to pay the 13 million asking price for big victor and get near to the wages whilst we apparantly would only be able to have an outside chance of a loan if no permanent deal is secured by spurs?.

     

     

    I think it is high time that celtic gave us fans something back and splashed out on a player slightly above our remit for fees and wages but guaranteed to make a legacy impact.

     

    Now is the time, today is the day to put the final nail in dave kings coffin.

    LAZYDYNAMITE on 2ND SEPTEMBER 2019 10:17 AM

     

     

    There are so many ” How do you know ” questions in that submission , that I seriously don`t know where to start.

     

     

    Just one will do.

     

     

    How do you know that Victor would make a ” legacy impact ” ?

  37. timaloy29 on

    Assuming the Frimpong deal is a development team signing and won’t prejudice the Greg Taylor deal….

  38. lazydynamite on

    For me signing him would guarantee 10 in a row.

     

    For me signing him would highly increase chances of extending european football this season

     

    For me signing him would highly increase chances of playing in the champions league proper next season.

     

     

    And on top of that not an an opinion now but a FACT signing him would take a lot of pressure off our board and have the fans in union with them .

     

    Celtic Park would be buzzing.

     

    Just for once celtic should push the boat out on a player for NOW not a player who is going to make us profit in future transfers although if we play it right we could have him for 2 years and still command a ‘decent’ sell on fee when he is 30 .

  40. henrik1967 on

    From @AgentScotland

     

     

    Celtic are willing to pay 100% of Victor Wanyama’s £65k p/w wage if he decides to go back to Celtic on loan

  41. lazydynamite on

    HENRIK1967 on 2ND SEPTEMBER 2019 10:53 AM

     

     

    That info alone perks me up.

     

    If true then credit to PL for showing some ambition to us fans.

     

    We deserve a wee treat

  42. 67 European Cup Winners on

    GFTB on 2ND SEPTEMBER 2019 9:53 AM

     

     

    We have 2 objectives as a club

     

    1) Win the SPL

     

    2) Group Stages CL

     

     

    When those 2 things happen we dominate for ever more

     

     

    If the Hun gets anywhere near winning the SPL I get nervous

     

     

    PL knows this (not me getting nervous) so I struggle to understand why we wait wait wait and end up doing it all in the last minute

     

     

    its PL that makes me nervous not the players

     

     

    PS I have posted on here numerous times my admiration for everything else PL does for our club – but buying footballers seems to make him indecisive IMHO
