There was only a minute between Celtic’s second and third goals against Partick Thistle on Friday evening but for that moment, a remarkable statistic had currency. Stuart Armstrong scored three and assisted two of Celtic’s six previous goals in the league. This is a level beyond an incredible upgrade in form.
Watching Stuart’s blossoming in recent weeks, you still get he’s been playing within himself for much of the last two years. It could be that the inverted-left-winger role didn’t suit him, or that the step up to the pressures of playing for Celtic inhibited him to the extent that the levels of confidence necessary to perform were not to be found.
Even now, watching his body language on the field, and in interview, he looks like he’s still finding his way. I’m pretty sure there’s more to come from him, given the necessary support.

Or The Big Tree…:)
Keep the Faith!
Hail Hail!
I’m away, before ‘gg comes on with the NFL scores.
Record and fast forward past all the breaks/ time-outs/ messages from our sponsors is the way to go there. Unlike here though, the pundits actually analyse the game intelligently, with interesting insights to tactics etc, and know what they are talking about, for the most part.
I think!
GFTB-god father 2,once upon a time in America,a bronx tale
McCarthy quoted in English press as £15 mil ….forget that one…
The Sopranos…….nothing comes close to it….
Was delighted when Ronnie signed SA, then horrified when he was given a bit part role as a left winger – well done Brendan for correcting this tactical blunder…and I also think GMS’s career is about to be resurrected.

Aye …a couple well oot in front.
Breaking Bad.
The Wire.
The only way James McCarthy will sign, and I hope he does, is if he tells Everton he only wants to move to us and rejects any move elsewhere. The transfer fee will then drop or they will have an unhappy player that the manager doesn’t want on their books. I think we will go beyond our current record transfer fee for him, whether or not it’s enough time will tell.

A Bronx Tale was a great film
FrannyB67….. In my younger days I kicked a ball for the Whifflet Arms mob but they were Connexions back in the day …… The Big Tree….. Isn’t the worst Celtic pub but far from the best in ML5

GMS just needs his confidence built back up, the same as Armstrong. GMS should have scored against Man City but didn’t have the confidence to shoot first time when he was put through . He made a great run but dithered with the shot allowing the keeper to make an easy save. I think you’ll see a different player later in the season under Brendan’s guidance, and he’ll be knocking in chances like that for fun.
VP- Hope all good with you W, i thought Breaking Bad was good but overated, the 2nd series was mince, it picked up after that.The Sopranos was so good because there was 8-10 characters as well as TS.HH
G67- McCarthy overpriced due to EPL money, i think we have a chance with Paddy Roberts as Pep won’t want to sell him to an EPL club, as he will haunt them.
McCarthy would be a great signing, but if there’s an EPL club in for him (and it’s difficult to believe there won’t be) then Everton won’t sell him to us for less.
!!BADA BING!! on 11TH DECEMBER 2016 7:33 PM
Roberts would be overpriced by Man City. The model that they, and Chelsea, have is to hoover up young talented players with potential with the intention of selling on later. In most cases they have no intention of keeping them. They loan them out for a few years and hope their value increases so they can make a profit. It’s all a scam to help get around FFP rules.
Even if we could afford him I don’t think he has shown enough, consistently to justify a large transfer fee. Forrest has been a far better player this season, something I never thought I would say at the end of last season.
Sopranos. # 1
Breaking Bad # 2
The Wire # 3
All of them exceptional in character building and plot narrative. The Wire only falls down on a really predictable ending.
The US has led the way in this type of drama in recent years, True Detective and Atlantic Boardwalk are other examples.
I believe all of them take inspiration from Goodfellas and Pulp Fiction.
James McCarthy ?
Broony or Stuart who would you drop……
If we did have a few million to spend it would be Snodgrass for me……
1. The Sopranos
2. The Wire
3. Pesky Blinders (so far)
*Peaky not Pesky
Will Pep sell us Paddy?
Better question.
Will Pep be there next season?
G67- agree with most of that, i can see MC giving Roberts a new contract and loaning him out again, i would have given Forrest and a few others away at the end of last season, i think Roberts has got his confidence back, u think quick players are reluctant to go flat out in case it goes again HH
I’ll be over next Saturday with some Association of Irish CSC calendars which celebrate us winning the European Cup fifty years ago. They are £7 each so if you would like one I can meet up before or after the match.
Leave a message here and I’ll make arrangements.

You’d never put PL’s job in jeopardy ;-). Snodgrass available on a Free in the summer. Can sign pre contract in January. I would sign him, another attacking option from midfield when Roberts returns to City.
McCarthy would replace Bitton in the squad and would be fighting Brown and Armstrong for centre midfield positions. Competition for places and an upgrade in quality, especially for Europe where midfield is where we are lacking most.

The Big Tree, far from the best, a matter of opinion surely…:)
A subjective opinion as the Bammy is close to your abode…:)

Hail Hail!
We have some really talented Tims.
And that`s off the field .

1. Breaking Bad
2. Everything else ;-)
Ps currently both In Palin Sight and Rillington Place are worth watching
I would take Snoddy in a instant
Did i not read he had bought Kenny Millers house
recently
Or ‘In Plain Sight’ even………..
Anyway, here’s the deal. I have to watch X Factor final (haven’t seen a single minute of the series so far) and Mrs Baldie has to watch the Scottish Cup Final in May 17…..
She doesn’t know it yet but clearly she gets the better deal.
Lennybhoy as you know some of my best pals love the “office” PV loves it, the day I met you in there am sure you realise i know one or two of the regulars…….
1998 stopping 10 for the BoS cheats the best huddle ever at Whifflet roundabout :-)
Lennybhoy we live in good times, hope your bhoy had a great birthday
Pubs in scotchland are rubbige cause most dont let Wee BGFC come in.

I think Peter Lawell is a great CEO…..as a fan I wish he stood up for the majority of the people who pays his wages…….. Hopefully am not so blinkered to realise the difference
But as a Celtic fan we are in a good place ……. By the way in all my years on this planet no Celtic board has been close to the fans ……….
In my opinion (not my honest opinion I don’t have a dishonest one)
GFTB-Jeso mate first you love the centenary yr, then you hit me with the meastro,then you tell me one of my fav films a bronx tale is one of yours!thats all well and good pal,but now you tell us your a criminal minds buf:-)))))
Criminal Minds was excellent 3-4 years ago. Lost its credibility when Gideon moved on.
My favourite drama series of recwnt times have been Borgen, Spiral and Peaky Blinders.
Big Tony was hard to beat overall though
Jimbo67
Fairhill Bhoy
Get yourself to McChuills at the next day out (rubbish pub but great company) I talk more rubbish in real life than I type …….(that might be hard to believe)
GERRYFRAEBRIG, doubt that the fans pay PL’s wages or even all of the player’s wages. Sponsorship money, TV money, Champions League money etc take care of that. Home game match money is small beer to the rest.
Just waiting
The Affair is as good as i have watched for a few years…
JMCCORMICK-Gideon was brilliant, but a thought he was better in Chicago hope:-)))
