    Ladies and Gentlemen, a reminder that a January 6th meeting at 12pm will take place at the Shipbank, Saltmarket. I’m providing the buffet of hula hoops, Belmont Brian is DJ and stand up comedy. If he can stand up, that is.

    If reminders are needed I was aware of a few surprise results this weekend

     

    Barcelona drew at home to Espanol

     

    City drew with Everton

     

    Newcastle drew with Leeds

    Switched off at FT and went out for some air.

     

     

    On reflection the injury to Greg Taylor can’t be underestimated in terms of how it i’m-acted the game – both Hun goals came from poor play by his replacement, who was, er, poor all game.

     

     

    Question is, was he poor because:

     

     

    1. He was out of position;

     

     

    2. Unwell; or

     

     

    3. Couldn’t be bothered because he’s offski?

     

     

    If I heard correctly, Greg has injured his hamstring, so Bernabei better get up to speed quickly. Mind you, did Hatate play left back for Japan?

     

    ………………………………………………………….

     

     

    Thats the thing, with a player like Hatate or McGregor, you play them elsewhere it really adds to their knowledge of the game.

     

     

    Greg’s got a hamstring injury according to SkySports.

     

     

    It is always about making Every Celtic player better no matter the circumstance.

     

     

    The Windaes open – not sure we will be bringing in more than 1.

  4. I’d guess most of us knew a VAR call would go against us today at some point. A clear pen not given to us. We should be lodging a complaint against Collum.

  5. Our team put on a poor performance today in a very poor game. I have never seen so many misplaced passes and interceptions from both sides.

     

    They certainly played closer to their best than us, got away with what looked like a nailed on penalty and despite our shortcomings still couldn’t beat us.

     

     

    Taylor’s injury and the decision to bring on Juranovic was pivotal in changing the dynamic of the game.

     

     

    Thought Johnston did well for his debut given the nature of game & venue but one man, clearly the Player of the Year despite our own poll, the outstanding Carter Vickers kept us in the game and to him, I give my heartfelt thanks.

     

     

    We have not become a bad team overnight, you don’t judge a team or a player on one game.

     

     

    We got a result, We are 9 ahead plus 20 goals with 2 Derby games left.

     

     

    We will be back on form next game, they Huns are at this moment sick & pissed off, so let’s enjoy the day, We’re going to win the League.

    Looking forward to my trip to the semi and probably the Cup game on 21st

    Always interesting what the huns think about overall performance and Beale:

     

     

    Oh where do we start here? He got the starting XI totally wrong – we wanted Arfield and Jack in from the start, instead we got Sakala and Kamara. While one did at least work for the shirt, neither delivered the level needed, and only an unexpected Celtic collapse in the second half gave a massive chance for a shock win we might not have fully deserved. But then having gotten the team back into it, Beale shot himself in the foot with three bad subs which gave momentum back to the visitors. 2-2 was a fair result in the end but did Rangers no good at all. 4

    IMO Beaton had an excellent game, the Goldson handball is 100% on Collum, as i said when he was handpicked for VAR, a compliant shitebag,who doesn’t want banned from the huns again, as most of all,it costs him money

     

     

    A compliant shi#ebag he most definitely is.

     

    Is he a criminal fraudster though? Obtaining money by deception by pretending to be a fair and unbiased official.

    Any Celtic supporters that think any ‘current’ Scottish referee is going to crucially VAR against Rainjurz, is in for a long wait. Every Scottish supporter has been waiting since October when the circus began and not only have none gone against, despite a myriad of handball claims, none have even been called for review.

     

     

    Despite thousands and thousands of supporters and our pounds, we’re still waiting on VAR for Sevco as Scotland degenerates to the land of music hall joke.

    A former Religious Education teacher in a Catholic school cheats and deliberately lies in order to help a club whose ethos is anti-Catholic .

     

     

    Gutless , self seeking and amoral .

  11. My youngest is 14 years old.

     

    Had to explain to him today that i didn’t think our club would do anything at all about the cheating.

     

     

    He still doesn’t understand with the introduction of VAR why Celtic won’t do anything about it.

     

     

    He doesn’t understand why a ref who coaches The Rangers youngsters can be a ref.

     

     

    I explained to him that Scottish Football stinks and rots with corruption.

     

     

    I also explained that i thought Celtic won’t do anything about the cheating as the people running our club care more about money than they do about our club.

     

    Either that or they are so f#cking stupid they can’t imagine the impact on society in Scotland.

     

     

    Surely the huns “are the people” when our club WILL NOT DO ANYTHING ABOUT CHEATING REFS?

  12. A big dissapointment for me today was not hearing any of the songs.

    Leinster Rugby have issued an apology after a pro-IRA song was played at their stadium following Saturday’s 41-12 win over Connacht.

     

     

    The apology came after the Wolfe Tones’ Celtic Symphony was played. The song’s lyrics, featuring the line “Ooh ah up the ‘ra”, refer to support for the paramilitary Irish Republican Army that sought to end British rule in Northern Ireland.

     

     

    “A song was played over the PA at the RDS Arena this evening that shouldn’t have been played,” Leinster said in a statement. “Leinster Rugby has taken measures to ensure it doesn’t happen again and apologises sincerely for its use and for any offence caused.”

     

     

    Last month, Uefa fined the Football Association of Ireland €20,000 after videos emerged of their women’s team singing the same song following their win against Scotland in October to qualify for the World Cup.

  13. Now that I have calmed down, apart from not being too happy with our form, I was absolutely disgusted with the few neds who had to shout out during the minutes sinilencThose of us who were at the One of disaster game will never forget tting home and having to phone around to tell family we were okay. How much more sad that evening for those who lost family. I think it is time the Board did something about the neds. Why do these people constantly get tickets, while otherdecent Celtic Supporters never get away tickets?

    Why was the Columbian Diddy Giving Taylor a hard time for going off injured?

     

     

    ………………………………………………………….

     

     

    He’s an attention seeker and he knows he is gone.

     

     

    Beaton heard Greg shutting down the Fat Columbian as he knew he was going off injured.

     

     

    Well Done Greg.

     

     

    Fat Boy missing the chances was Mana.

    I don’t think he is self seeking, amoral definitely, he is gutless. I won’t call him out for that.

  17. With all thur usual help…….they couldnae do it…………………Think about that. They wull.

     

     

    An absolute hun sickener…………………even when we were not at our best, we dug it out, we kept going.

     

     

    Thats a defeat to thems………

     

     

    We are 9 clear.

     

     

    I doubt we’ll play quite like that again.

    Away tickets have been a closed shop since away teams stopped selling tickets direct to celtic fans.

     

     

    Celtic pulled a good one here saying they couldn’t guarantee that they were ST holders that resulted in CP selling them. To a limited and restricted audience 😡

    I think he is self seeking in terms of his career . Maye he sees himself as successor to Hugh Dallas one day and the only way to achieve that is to be the darling of the SFA

    Many thanks again to that fine young Celt Coneybhoy for use of his season book for Kilmarnock and St Mirren. Unfortunately for him he has to meet me on the 21st before the Morton game. And I’m buying him dinner in Dublin the following week. It’s a hard life and I suffer for my art.

    Away tickets is a racket. I can’t complain as i am a home game guy but i feel sorry for guys in Scotland who never get one

     

     

    Celtic introduced a ballot about 12 years ago among ST holders and it worked. I got a ticket for Killie away in May 2011 (the Kayal one). My dad had a great and scary day out with the young crew!

     

     

    Absolutely nothing since the season ticket sales picked up. Certain CSCs/buses?individuals got the tickets and when they kept going , they get tickets based on the attendance rules.

     

     

    That’s OK but the tickets are passed on to the youths who cannot possibly have picked up credit as 5 year olds.

     

     

    ‘Twas the same years ago as well but I liked the brief ballot system

     

     

    PS the 2-3 guys shouting should have been dealt with by our own; shame on them

  22. PETEC

     

     

    Have a look at how the Oxford English Dictionary defines Amoral, you never know you may change your mind.

     

     

     

    amoral adjective

     

    /ˌeɪˈmɒrəl/

     

    /ˌeɪˈmɔːrəl/

     

    ​not following any moral rules and not caring about right and wrong

     

    Guy was greedy, amoral and dishonest.

     

    COMPARE immoral, moral

    Not our best showing today but the draw was far more use to us than them. JJ was pretty poor today and can’t understand why we didn’t bring on Bernabei when Greg Taylor went off. He’ll not have put much on his asking price with that performance. I’ve always had concerns over Starfelt and today highlighted them again. I hope Kobiyashi turns out to be the real deal. Still, 9 clear and the Hunz needing snookers before the Xmas decorations are down. I’ll take that. COYBIG

  24. Starfelt has been excellent: got sucked into a cheat today but he clears so many balls

     

     

    CCV is miles above so maybe that clouds the opinions

  25. We had Maradona’s legendary Hand Of God incident in a World Cup game against England back in the Eighties this was rivallled by the Hands Of Goldson in todays match. This was a disgraceful decision not to award a penalty to Celtic and proved what posters on here during in recent days were saying that Var would not work in our favour in today’s game.

     

     

    People who expected Celtic to walk all over Rangers as they had been doing to others in the league was wishful thinking. We were on their home turf with a volcanic full house facing a team that needed to win the match at all costs. Coming away with result was a fine performance.

     

     

    Yes I was surprised with the Hoops team selection but Ange corrected things with his substitutions who all contributed to that stunning equalliser at the death. Impressed with the new lad Johnston. Happy with that result.
