  1. A wee repost from last Wednesday morning but with updated figures ;-)

     

     

    JOBO BALDIE on 26TH APRIL 2017 6:44 AM

     

    With 5 (NOW 4) league games still to play, a wee reminder of the incentives to keep on keeping on –

     

    Our best ever achievements in the top flight have been –

     

    103 points (2001-02) – we’re currently on 91 (NOW 94) so need to win 4(3) out of 5(4) to equal that. But 4(3) wins and 1 draw would give us a new record.

     

    105 goals (2003-04) – we’re currently on 87 (NOW 91) so need to average 4 a game. Unlikely (AFTER YESTERDAY, ANYTHING IS POSSIBLE).

     

    33 wins in a season (2001-02) – so far we’ve won 29 of our 33 games so need to win all 5 for a new PB.

     

    32 game unbeaten run (2003-04) – we’ve already beaten that one as we’re curently unbeaten after 33 (NOW 34).

     

    Fewest defeats in a season – 1 (2001-02) – I think we are all aware that we are 5 (NOW 40 more away from a new , invincible, record.

     

     

    Seeing as I’m up with the lark, I think I’ll take a walk in the park.

     

     

    Laters……

    CANAMALAR:

     

     

    We are Celtic Supporters, faith and hope are our currency, we need it like we need oxygen. I have faith that Paddy would love an extension and I hope that Man. City deem he has a wee bit of learning yet to do.

     

     

    Just cannot get over how good Boyata was yesterday. He really did look every inch a composed and happy player.

    Am I reading this wrongly:

     

     

    “Fewest defeats in a season – 1 (2001-02) – I think we are all aware that we are 5 (NOW 40 more away from a new , invincible, record.”

     

     

    …or has the Season been extended to make the undefeated possibility a tad harder?

     

     

    JJ

  4. A decent performance against very poor opposition imo. If we had taken our chances we would have scored double figures.

    We were discussing Griff / Moussa after the game yesterday, two terrific strikers in very different ways, my opinion is Mouusa will move sooner or later, Leigh if he stays on the right side of Brendan could be with us for years to come, I am a massive Griff fan, play the Bhoy who scores the goals, even in this season where injury has hampered him and the team’s excellent form while Leigh has been out, he still has a good number of goals

     

     

    Will leave Brendan to sort it out, he gets paid more than us :-)

  6. cathedral view on

    Watching the game again it’s half time and we’re looking good. Bit concerned about the ole’s from us on 40 odd mins. We must not let complacency creep in.

     

     

    Ref watch:

     

    This must be the first Celtic game I’ve watched in ages that’s been refereed in a ‘normal’ manner.

     

    A couple of understandable mistakes.

     

    No kicking us off the park.

     

    No game management

     

    No cheating.

     

    At our penalty the officials had a collective 10 second discussion before a finger was pointed at the spot.

     

    It suggests that someone somewhere has noticed the farcical and embarrassing officiating of our last couple of games could not continue.

     

     

    Second half starting.

     

     

    Over and out.

  7. A Stor Mha Chroi on

    The most eloquent testament to the elegance and guile of Celtic was a half empty Ibrox with 15 minutes still to play.

     

     

    Credit the referee too, he did have a good game, and his humanity is above reproach evidenced by publicly, and against convention, by putting Rangers out of their weeping misery without a single second of extra time.

     

     

    He didn’t get a 100% mark for his officiating but he came very close. The only thing I can fault the ref for is he was too easily suckered by Garner going to ground every time Boyata glanced at him.

  8. A £600,000 luxury villa owned by Rangers striker Kenny Miller has been raided by police.

     

     

    Officers swooped at the detached home near Eaglesham, south of Glasgow , on Thursday night.

     

     

     

    The tenant, Billy Steele, 35, was already in custody after being arrested on the south side of Glasgow. He later appeared in court over drugs allegations.

     

     

    A property in Strathaven, Lanarkshire, was searched in a raid connected to the Eaglesham operation and Gary Campbell, 48, was arrested.

     

     

    The villa was raided on Thursday evening

     

     

    Did The Police arrive at FIVE to ONE ?

  9. ……a penny for thur thoughts……..?

     

     

    After THAT Sevco performance yesterday…..ranjurs must surely be turning in their grave?

     

     

    ;)

  10. Canamalar it looks like OCD obsession on

    A Stor…,

     

    As I said 100% with you on Paddy and your hope is my hope.

     

    As for big Dedryk I note he was not put under pressure by our own players as often as he has the last few weeks, where he was being passed the ball while surrounded by opposition players, that kind of pressure saps the confidence especially if losing the ball and stupid supporters blame him and not the player who made the stupid pass.

     

    A few more games like that and he will be wanting the ball under pressure because his confidence will be sky high.

  11. A Stor Mha Chroi on

    Tin foil hat on:

     

     

     

    I know this might be controversial and I apologise in advance if I offend anybody, but I’m sorry, it just needs to be said,,, Garner is a FUD, a totally useless FUD, and so is anybody, regardless of their qualifications or credentials, who thinks Garner is a football player.

    Just Do It Celtic…….UNLEASH HELL !

     

     

    COYBIG

     

     

    Did The BHOYS read may post yesterday morning…maybe not…but by God they delivered on this old Celtic man’s prayer !

     

    Thank you Brendan…Thank you Celtic !

    Watch how Boyata covers for Tierney on so many occasions. Boyata’s work allows KT to be the player he is.

  14. Rangers fans have been left furious after claiming Celtic ‘s Scott Brown should have been sent off for elbowing Kenny Miller.

     

     

    The clash came during the Scottish Premiership match at Ibrox.

     

     

    Sevco Pedros Paupers clutching at straws …yet again…will they never learn ?

  15. Big Boyatta – any boy of a treadmill at midnight in a bid to become a Bhoy…..I can’t help but warm to.

     

     

    He now also has superb baby dreads, reminiscent of a young Robert Nesta Marley. He attacks a header, in defence and to score. And the joy on his face when he or a team mate scores is do evident.

     

     

    Indeed the mutual joy and how they celebrate one another’s goals is a hallmark of this team.

     

     

    Big dedryck benefits from having middies who offer him options. Simple but true. Yesterday he had them.

  16. Dallas Dallas where the heck is Dallas on

    Jobo, my son went to the game yesterday on the bus that leaves from the village.

     

     

    I went down to pick him up when they got back. Some of the CSC had tied Celtic scarves round lamposts , tricolours wrapped round the bus stop in front of the new restaurant , mata hari , in the main street.

     

     

    I passed through the village about two hours later and they were gone unfortunately.

     

     

    A magnificent day for us yesterday . Long may it continue

    What have you been drinking ? ……

  18. I know a wee bit about football, and sitting in the house yesterday during the 1st half….I was totally impressed by Boyata and Big Jozo…in fact I had decided that no matter the score they were playing brilliant….the 2nd half performance from those two Bhoys didn’t change my mind….Love Jozo’s terrific tackle…maybe he’s been watching KT ?

     

     

    OR Is it a “JOZO JUGGERNAUT” ?…Probably yes…well done Big Man.

     

    Lustig just loves the Hoops, he’s a feckin nutter, but I love him.

  19. The RACIST HUN who was doing the monkey impressions……….Did he do such things when the young Rangers player passed away recently..Egihou ?

     

    SCUMBAG ” 100%

    Dallas

     

     

    Delighted Dallas junior had a great day, some record he has against this mob 100% at their ground

     

     

    Off to mass, last weekend of the wee blades dogger card to get marked

     

     

    Enjoy your day fellow Celts

  21. 67Heaven .. CHALLENGING THE LIE ..I am wee Oscar...... Ipox belongs to the creditors on

    James Gang …. I could not agree with you more about Boyata …… a revelation, who obviously loves Celtic …. and, as for Brendan ….. words / superlatives fail me ….!!!!!!!!

  22. There were a few among us who said Boyata was a player:)) To the CQN howls of derision.

     

     

    Happy for the big guy, he’s a dedicated pro who loves the Hoops.

     

     

    Very happy to see Mikael Lustig get on the scoresheet yesterday, he’s a Celt through and through and just what you need when you go to Poundland to play in front of the baying orcs.

     

     

    He shut them right up and they still be hiding underneath their duvets this morning.

     

     

     

    It’s over huns, you know it, we know, everybody knows it.

     

     

    The Journey, we shit it:))

     

     

    Might just stick the game on again!

    BIG JIMMY:

     

     

    When I look at Mikeal Lustig it brings back fond memories of Stephane Mahe.

  25. The Andrew Marr Show this morning……………..he calls out that feckin Cockroach PM Theresa May….”

     

    ” Prime Minister study has shown that hard working NURSES are being forced to go to FOOD BANKS….is that going to continue under a Tory Government” ?

     

     

    May….completely FAILS to answer his question !

    BIG JIMMY:

     

     

     

    When I look at Mikeal Lustig it brings back fond memories of Stephane Mahe.

     

     

    good point A STOR……Stephane was also a nutter imo ! haha

     

    I first saw Stephane playing for PSG at Celtic Park when they destroyed us with their pace and skill, and beat us 3-0.

     

    Many thousands of Celtic fans stayed back ( unlike the huns yesterday) to applaud PSG for their skill after the game finished. I was one who did so…..despite them wearing their ” red white and blue”… I haven’t did that too often with teams wearing such terrble mankie colours.

     

    HH MATE.

  27. 67H ‘He’s so full of alcohol, if you put a lighted wick in his mouth he’d burn for three day’s’ Groucho Hh

  28. Christy added ‘The Blantyre mining disaster’ to his repertoire at the Barrowlands last night. Hh to all those brave men who made their living digging below the ground and to our greatest ever manager.

  29. Re Stats on our best season, 2001/2002 was one League defeat, I don’t think I need to remind anyone here that we lost 2 other domestic games.

     

    Re Jozo’s tackle after the game I scrolled back on RM to see how they reacted expecting outrage but was amazed a few of them actually admitted it was a brilliant tackle and I don’t think any of them complained. I think Walker’s initial reaction was wrong but instead of admitting he was wrong when he saw the re-run tried to justify himself and instead made a clown of himself.

     

    P.S. I thought Beaton & his team reffed the game fairly & got all the big calls spot on.
