    Good morning CQN

     

     

    If Carlsberg did weekends……….

     

     

    Congrats to Ange on his first title win to effectively have won the C/L golden ticket at the victorian lavy was just fabulous albeit we will have to wait for the mathematics to be confirmed in the coming weeks, it was a beautiful Sunday personified, what a job our antipodean general has done, it simply can’t be underestimated the size of the task in front of Ange a pre-season reduced to a few days after quarantine, we lost 3 of the first 6 games, he took over an outfit bereft of confidence, morale, and leadership, the football dept was lacking depth and quality of personal both playing and in the dept infrastructure but Ange has climbed and conquered mountains all season, sadly Europe was a Mount Everest of a mountain too big still there’s always next season for Europe, can we clinch a treble ? unthinkable before the season started, however, there’s a fairy tale about this club…………………………………me im off buzzing shortly to Larkhall, like one of our fav sons from Larkhall, as for this guy below in the clip………….. my captain

    Kev_j the queue on your judgment day. will have to wait on St Peter judging all those multi personalities, hopefully, one of them will get you a pass

     

     

    have a good peaceful day, ALL of you

    National BBC Breakfast sports bulletin leading with our game and reporting on the bottles and injury. Not being brushed under the carpet.

  8. Uncle Jimmy on

    The story of Celtic yesterday is one of goals, heroes and defensive rocks.

     

    For sevco, it’s thuggery, broken bottles and ugliness.

     

    Such is life

    Yes our friend was right by my side !

     

     

    Great day and daring to dream now about repeating the fears of Jock (twice) Martin Brendan (twice) and Neil !

     

     

    A treble win this year would see us go ahead of the Glasgow rivals in trebles won with 8-7. Daring to dream.

  10. Back to Basics - Glass Half Full on

    Good morning CQN.

     

     

    What a job Ange has done.

     

     

    Celtic’s record in last 25 league games.

     

     

    21 wins, 4 draws.

     

     

    With a little bit of luck each of those 4 draws – Dundee United, Livingston, St Mirren, Hibernian – could easily have been victories.

     

     

    Remarkable consistency.

    i don’t have a problem with anyone saying that Ange was untested in Europe – it was true.

     

     

    It was the assumption that he can’t be any good because he never managed in Europe. There’s a difference.

  12. geebee1978 on

    JHB on 3RD APRIL 2022 8:40 PM

     

     

    cont….

     

     

    Whereas my opinions on Starfelt was based on his performances so there was solid evidence. He;s improved and I’m delighted but can you see the difference between seeing someone play and thinking they’re not very good or me just saying something like “He’s Swedish, he can’t be very good” before even seeing him play?

  13. dessybhoy on

    BBC breakfast sport playing yesterday’s events down, describing them as unsavoury, I would have thought being hit by a bottle and requiring stitches to a head wound[no description of these injuries] while at your work is much worse than unsavoury, having broken glass in your penalty area likewise, this cannot be allowed to be left at this by Celtic and Glasgow City Council who license this stadium for Football, the Police must find the culprits. It wasn’t a couple of idiots Ange you called it wrong.

  14. Hot Smoked on

    “DESSYBHOY on 4TH APRIL 2022 7:50 AM

     

    It wasn’t a couple of idiots Ange you called it wrong.”

     

     

    What was it then?

  16. dessybhoy on

    Hot Smoked

     

    As you were out on your bike I will help you out , from all sections of Ibrox coins cups and bottles were thrown at Celtic players taking corners main stand Broomloan corner , going to their support at the end of the game form the Govan stand at half time broken glass in the penalty area Celtic had to defend, Copeland Road end, and a physio being hit by a bottle on the main stand touchline. Hope that helps your understanding

  18. celticforever on

    if we go ahead of the huns 8-7 in trebles won they cant equal that

     

    as we know they died in 2012

  19. GFTB on

    A T 3.26am

     

     

    Yesterday was so good ….

     

     

    Hope you had a beautiful Sunday as well , might just watch the game again, still canny believe Maeda didn’t get the penalty, we can add that to the many others we haven’t got at that sh*t hole :-)

     

     

    “it’s only 3pts mate” is now up there with Leigh Griffiths “yir teams deid” 🍀

     

     

    Too early for a curer ?

     

     

    Dam, just remembered the schools are aff, so will leave it until about 2pm…. whit a beautiful Sunday that was

  20. Hot Smoked on

    DESSYBHOY on 4TH APRIL 2022 8:11 AM

     

    Thanks for the information. Obviously, I wasn`t aware of the extent of the missile throwing.

  21. Hot Smoked on

    GFTB on 4TH APRIL 2022 8:12 AM

     

     

    There was a more obvious penalty missed when CCV pulled the shirt of the Sevco player.

     

    Not to worry. These things even themselves out :-)))

     

     

    Feeling very happy but off to the golf to change that !!!

     

    Cheerio for now.

  22. ziggydoc1 on

    There were loads of items thrown onto the pitch. The ‘investigation’ using CCV TV, will hopefully see the halfwits in the Dock. I hope this doesn’t encourage some of our own numpties to reciprocate.

     

     

    Special mention for wee Daizen. His workrate is amazing, closing players down all over the pitch.

  23. Martim1980 on

    Watching highlights again, what a cross from Jota for CCV’s goal- some amount of dip and spin!

  24. GFTB on

    Hot Smoked 8.21am

     

     

    I agree that should have been a penalty, but disagree with the “more obvious” part as not many saw it in real time… and 15 stone Goldson “falling / diving” with a shirt pull probably made it look worse … in my opinion Maeda through on goal and the goalkeeper fouls him, stonewall pen…. the Goldson jersey pull doesn’t suit my agenda :-)

     

     

    Enjoy the golf … hope you get a birdie or two

  25. Greenpinata on

    My friends in Celtic,

     

     

    Be careful what you wish for.

     

     

    The huns will not be punished in isolation. There may be an investigation followed by a summit where the issue will be expanded to all of Football.

     

    We will then be in their sights also.

     

     

    How do I know this.

     

     

    Ans : History.

     

     

    HH to all, the journey continues.

  26. GFTB on

    GP 8.34am

     

     

    There is no “strict liability” in the SPL, so the clubs aren’t too blame …. but surely the perpetrator(s) are breaking the law with the bottle throwing incident

     

     

    There is strict liability in Europe hence Rapid Vienna and that clown in the jungle blew our chance of bearing Everton if we made the final back then

  27. Timbhoy163 on

    Don’t go to any Summit that someone posted on here if Celtic go there then will be tarred with the same brush ,don’t go it’s Sevcos problem not ours

  29. McPhail Bhoy on

    A fantastic win in the ‘big hoose’ especially after going behind so early, many a team would have cracked, who knew it would be the Huns who would crack. The attacking play, closing down and defending was superb. One thing I thought about watching a few Hun vlogs afterwards (just for a laugh) but they all made the same point, how is it that they can win in Europe and yet in pressure games in the SPFL they can’t and I’m not talking just about games against us? On the same point how is it that our European record is so much poorer than theirs this season ( I know we had more points in the league than them) but in the knockout we did not perform. It can’t all be down to luck surely?

  30. corkcelt on

    Great readback/

     

    Lionsroar 6,06 Brilliant really made me laugh out loud,

     

     

    Back to Basics from last night, yes I did see Willies face contorted with anger when Gio continued to argue with him, & for a horrible moment thought he might upgrade the yellow to a red.

     

    Gio deserved his yellow but so did Jack & Gio was right to feel aggrieved,

     

    However overall I thought Willie & his linesmen did a great job yesterday.

     

    CCV had a fair tug at Goldson’s jersey in the box, Refs are prone to ignoring that kind of stuff but if that goes to VAR it’s a penalty,

     

    So overall no complaints from me,

  31. DeniaBhoy on

    CCV was lucky ref ignored shirt pull. Contrast that to Morelos getting one 2-3 weeks ago for a non-pull of the jersey.

     

    I thought Collum was ok yesterday. If he had been working to an Ibrox agenda, Starfelt would have been booked early doors and then off for repeat fouls. CCV would have been penalised for penalties twice, hand ball and shirt pull. The fact he awarded none of the above tells me he was not looking to do them any favours. He applied the laws properly. Starfelts fouls were not bookable offences, CCV handball was not deliberate and arm was in natural position.

     

    Ralston booking was deserved and well worth it too. I think he missed the Jack retaliation on Gia and Maeda’s penalty.

  32. GFTB on

    Mcphail Bhoy 9.09am

     

     

    In my opinion our record in Europe is terrible as we are far too open…. the last time we were difficult to beat in Europe was under MON when he has Lennon & Lambert protecting the likes of Balde, Mjallby and Valgaren …. These days CCV & Starfekt get very little protection even in the SPL never mind blinking Europe … maybe Ange will change things next season …. Although I very much doubt it :-)

  33. Parkheadcumsalford on

    BBC Scotland interviewed Michael Grant of the Times about yesterday’s game. While decrying the injury to our physio, he left his fullest criticism to the idiot who threw the bottle on to the pitch. He ended by saying this is what happens at O** F*** games. Whataboutery at it’s best. Despicable journalism.

     

     

    Earlier, Heather (someone) on reporting about the game didn’t even mention the bottle thrown on to the pitch.

     

     

    As for the commentator on Sportscene, he was apoplectic with delight when the deid team scored. He couldn’t manage to be even cheery when we equalised never mind went in front.

     

     

    BBC SCOTLAND sports department just gets worse and worse.

  34. quadrophenian on

    Re consequences for their fan behaviour and assault (glass in pen box and gash on physio’s head…)

     

    While the SFA refused to enforce strict liability – why bring in a rule that’s inevitably gunna be violated and put your in a politically indelicate position eh ?

     

     

    Didn’t I read that Humza Yousaf said strict liability could apply if clubs were unwilling the tackle the problems themselves….

     

     

    Surely it’s not the kind of country where you can assault someone who’s at their work (Lenny at Tyney, Danny Friel yesterday) without any punishment on the host club for failing to police the gaff properly ?

     

     

    Based downunder, I ain’t starting a political beef; just seeking consequence for attempted and actual assault, is all.

  35. GFTB on

    Quadraphenian 9.18am

     

     

    Exactly it’s not a political situation … it’s up to the police as it’s a law breaking point … nothing to do with the football club it’s plain and simple breaking the law, over to your police Scotland

  36. st tams on

    What a day yesterday.

     

    Watched the game in the Kerrydale bar ,which was brilliant, then back to the Anvil for another few and great sing song.

     

    Was in bed for 7pm, think I was exhausted watching Maeda .doing all that running.

     

    Hard to pick a MOM, as so many put in great performances.

     

    Roll on Saturday

  37. Parkheadcumsalford on

    I wonder if Murdo Fraser MSP, well kent supporter of law and order and of the deid team, might raise the attack on our physio and the other vile incidents at Holyrood? I won’t hold my breath.

  38. Hrvatski Jim on

    We know that the word “Ranger” now applies to someone who guards a territory such as national park. According to this article in Quora/Wikipedia, the etymology of the word derives from the period when Britain was colonising America so it derives from the subjugation of the native peoples of America.

     

     

    Quora:

     

    “The term “Ranger” originated when America was being settled by the British- and there were skirmishes on the frontiers with native-american tribes.

     

     

    The settlements were often far apart- and the British troops were not accustomed to and therefore not very good at frontier warfare- wherein the “Red Indians” would attack settlers travelling between settlements; lay siege upon settlements OR even multiple tribes would launch united attacks upon the settlements on the American frontier.

     

     

    Therefore, a new class of soldier/warrior was trained- who would patrol between heavily fortified settlements- fighting the Native American Tribesmen when they attacked OR delivering retribution/punishment after ambushes/raids and also generally ensure that hostile native-american tribes did not over-run, threaten or dominate areas that had been settled.

     

     

    This new class of soldier/warrior was called the “Ranger”- and each company/battalion of rangers would cover specific “ranges” between heavily fortified settlements- being skilled in frontier-warfare and fighting hostile native american tribes in the above scenarios where the regular British/American soldiers were of little help.

     

     

    Today the word “ranger”- can be used in 3 different contexts:

     

     

    (1) Specific troops of the US army which draw upon the ranger tradition described above and tracing their regimental history to the time they were raised during the time US consisted of British colonies.

     

     

    (2) Troops of other armies patterned upon the US Army rangers. eg: Pakistani army; Malaysian Armed Forced and others.

     

     

    (3) “Park Rangers”– In the US and many other countries- which include professionals whose job is to protect wildlife from poaching; help mitigate man-animal conflicts ; and to ensure tourists, local villagers and others touring, living-in OR passing through the wildlife-reserve/protected forest/jungle follow rules and regulations.

     

    And also to ensure that “game” / “wildlife” is properly managed.

     

    (Managing wildlife includes a variety of tasks to learn more about which see Rory Young’s answers OR read about the topic Rory Young )

     

     

    More about the History of “US Rangers” as well as the origins of the word Ranger:

     

     

    According to the wikipedia:

     

     

    “Rangers served in the 17th and 18th-century wars between colonists and Native American tribes. The British regulars were not accustomed to frontier warfare and so Ranger companies were developed. Rangers were full-time soldiers employed by colonial governments to patrol between fixed frontier fortifications in reconnaissance providing early warning of raids. In offensive operations, they were scouts and guides, locating villages and other targets for taskforces drawn from the militia or other colonial troops.

     

    In Colonial America, “The earliest mention of Ranger operations comes from Capt. John “Rorat” Smith,” who wrote in 1622, “When I had ten men able to go abroad, our common wealth was very strong: with such a number I ranged that unknown country 14 weeks.”[3]Robert Black also stated that,

     

     

    “In 1622, after the Berkeley Plantation Massacre…grim-faced men went forth to search out the Indian enemy. They were militia—citizen soldiers—but they were learning to blend the methods of Indian and European warfare…As they went in search of the enemy, the words range, ranging and Ranger were frequently used…The American Ranger had been born.[4]”

     

     

    Regarding the regularization of “Ranger” regiments and “ranging” in the US Army:

     

    The father of American ranging is Colonel Benjamin Church (c. 1639–1718).[5] He was the captain of the first Ranger force in America (1676).[6] Church was commissioned by the Governor of the Plymouth Colony Josiah Winslow to form the first ranger company for King Philip’s War. He later employed the company to raid Acadia during King William’s War andQueen Anne’s War.

     

    Benjamin Church designed his force primarily to emulate Native American patterns of war. Toward this end, Church endeavored to learn to fight like Native Americans from Native Americans.[5] Americans became rangers exclusively under the tutelage of the Indian allies.

    Suggestion : Don’t rely on strict liability.

     

     

    Once criminally convicted, sue the individual’s bigoted ass onto the street.

     

     

    Take every penny from him.

  42. MadMitch on

    Final thoughts …

     

     

    CS — very rocky start to the game but eventually he settled down and showed a bit of class running the ball out of defence. Second half was his basic game — defend / defend / defend.

     

     

    GT had a good game — again the need to defend / defend / defend suits him.

     

    He is a good player just that his game is not broad enough for us at the moment.

     

     

    B/G would probably beaten us yesterday with that performance — LA not scoring would have sealed it.

     

     

    We struggle with the defensive transition — our MF was playing narrow and they worked an extra man down the side all to often in the second half. Shape collapsed and we were reduced to defending our box — lots of work still to do.

     

     

    JL should have been sent off after his tackle on JNPF.

     

    Cynical / measured / focused on hurting an opposition player — shocker.

     

     

    LB slide tackle — reckless / lack of control / dangerous – should have been sent off by the letter of the law.

     

    Probably a desperation tackle to make up ground as quick as he could — still dangerous.

     

     

    WC / Ludge MIB — Poor game but good by SPL standards.

     

    All the soft penalties for the TFOD2.1 earlier in the season have brought about a need for change.

     

    The stats don’t lie so it had to stop — now working against them though not that WC would notice.

     

    He is poor referee who overcompensates to fit in at the Ludge.

     

    Interesting that he got the game after his TFOD2.1 troubles.

     

    I wonder if the SPFL / SFA had got wind of something.

     

     

    The EPL shows how results can be a lottery — and who loves lotteries?

     

    The bookies and the gambling fraternity.

     

     

    RJ was absolutely honking — for the NT he looked like a raffle winner getting a game in a charity match. Probably even worse yesterday — I wonder if his assault x 2 vs GG will get reviewed?

     

    In the egg chasing world they would be looking at eye gouging.

     

    Total reptile.

     

     

    Waiting for AS of Alba fame / ex Nat to call for a summit after the violence.

     

    Not comedy cut violence but real violence.

     

     

    Bottle throwing — Not a good look for the city if we are looking for inward investment.

     

    Great for the Poverty Porn / Extreme City Break industry though.

     

     

    We are a class or two above them regarding talent.

     

    Just a case we are a bit raw / naïve at times with some of our play.

     

    Probably more nerves than a lack of confidence but we were sloppy.

     

    MF needs work — CMcG had a great game as an AM running the ball at their defence.

     

    Poor game as a DM / Pivot although he did not get a lot of support.

     

     

    Onwards and upwards — StJ mean everything now.
