It’s difficult to analyse Celtic’s performance last night. For much of the game the players were clearly enjoying themselves and should have been rewarded with more goals, but Dunfermline were incredibly porous in central midfield. Ki and Commons were able to stage a passing master-class which was pleasing on the eye.
The fact that the deluge of goals didn’t come is not particularly concerning. Celtic don’t make a habit of profligacy in front of goals, making chances is more of a problem, so it would be a mistake to read too much into one game.
While Dunfermline were out of the contest for most of the evening they also retained two strikers, something we seldom see from SPL visitors at Celtic Park, so that fact that they were able to construct an attempt at goal five minutes from time was not surprising.
Celtic got what they needed from the game but Danny Lennon, who brings St Mirren to Celtic Park on Saturday, will also have seen enough to let him form a decent game-plan, especially if Celtic play a 4-4-2 with two wingers, as they finished the game yesterday.

Only another eleven hours to wait until the next ‘Peoples’ Friend’ hits the news-stands.
Can you contain yourself !?

5 players that started for the Juvenil A in their 5-1 win vs Celtic tonight were 16-year olds- Samper, Grimaldo, Dongou, Sandro, Quintilla.

I am not in Scotland but do not the glimpse of independence that the Tartan Tories have given us.
Anybody that voted for a guy that supports the diets wants their cranium crawled over by a heidron collider anyway.
Butcher in the Scottish hall of fame, he must have been rewarded for winning uncle Walter the league by the old establishment.
I keep getting shot to bits in MW3 by players in the ira clan.I’m gonna start my own clan -‘MONTHEHOOPS’

Even worse how did Derek Johnstone get in the Hall of Fame?
Did they widen the doors?
googybhoy
Independence for Scotland?
I want independence from Scotland!
Viva la Socialist Republic of Barra!

The exclusion orders were great craic.
Essentially what the British Government was saying was that you were too dangerous a person to lay foot in England, Scotland or Wales.
However, you were free to roam the north of Ireland as you pleased – why?
Well because you had done nothing wrong and more importantly if you indeed were a bad boy, it didn’t matter what damage you did because you were over there in the 6 counties.
At the same time they tried to tell us we were as British as Finchley.
You couldn’t make it up – Damn I forgot that is exactly what they did do.

And…. they….. Gave them, Dongou, Sandro & Grimaldo. They gave them Messi, Puyol, Villa & Renaldo. And all of the Barca greats have by-passed everyone else? To play Football, the Barcalona Way.. ;)

Good question.
I’m not sure but maybe the ole national security argument would be used and that might actually trump EU law.

I think you’re right there. No doubt Gascoigne, Goram and Laudrup will be in it. Must be something about a Scottish football club winning 9 in a row for the first time :-)
Just catchin up with the blog today. My first reaction to the aluko deal was scorn. We sign an international defender on a free and they match us with, well…..Ha, ha etc.
On a human level though this guy is only 22 is clearly desperate for a start anywhere, and has been convinced by employees of a vulture-capitalist that everything is OK and pays his own money to sign. The same people know he’ll be on the first list of contracts to be ripped-up when the balloon goes up.
‘Morals of an (s)ally cat’ springs to mind.
We should put in a cheeky offer to that Barca #9 to see if he’ll pay Barca to come to us for 6 months.
Wait a minute.

Not only could they get away with it ,they could quite possibly hold you for 28days befor issuing an exclusion order

Do not know what percentage of Celtic supporters voted for the SNP earlier this year, but I did read that more Roman Catholics voted for them than for any other Party. The scale of their victory in May suggested across the board support, replacing the Labour Party even in Glasgow. In government on their own however they have been a disaster. To use a Celtic-Rangers match in March as the basis for your signature policy shows immaturity in the extreme. One rule in politics is that if you are in deep stop digging. Their performance thus far tells me that they are digging their own political grave!
Kojo just back on the blog…… I see (I think), you don’t like excuses but the excuse you made was a fact ….. yes I see, it was a factually based excuse…. yes indeed!
Thanks for clearing that up.

Scotland Hall of Fame was started a number of years ago inducting players that had 50 caps or more.
Now they’ve done all that the bottom of the barrow is being well and truely scapped to dig out an English captain for the SCOTTISH hall of fame just so they can have an annual dinner. Some true Scots them.
I hope Soni Aluko paid the Tax on the transfer money!

They lost my vote following the ‘shame game’ and their willingness to paint us in a bad light in order to win votes amongst those educated by the front page of the S*n and D**ly R*c*rd.
Any roads, my missus once met Alex Salmond at her workplace and doesn’t have a very nice recollection of him – her words were along the lines of: I’m glad he didn’t come into the box store, while I was there, by himself.
She generally shudders whenever she recalls this and his, erm, ‘glazed, beedy eyes’.
Despite this, I continued to vote SNP, as I fancy swapping my Westminster masters that don’t care for Holyrood and Brussels masters that don’t care. I’m a tad stupid like that.

I would doubt that pal as you could perhaps cite having the freedom of Europe being one of its citizens taking into account how much you would be monitored anyway.
What a disgusting action for any government in a free society to take,did that really happen before?

Butcher hatcheted his way through many a Celtic player with nary a repercussion. How much more Scottish can you possibly get?
Expect nominations next year for: Terry Hurlock and Andy Thorn (
mega swearathon deleted)Bhoys, I will be in Gillingham Kent for the next 10 weeks working on a project. Does anyone know a boozer that would be showing the Celts games ?
Dirtymac…what about ole jonas thern? Surely the hall of fame and services to Scottish fitb a
awaits along with sir shuggy of Dallas?
I can forsee Brown moving to Newcastle in January,with Fraser Forster signing for us in exchange….no fees involved.
But would such a deal maximise PL’s earnings ?
Sammi is World Class…
Paddy is better than Ki…
Sidney is better than Elvis..

Actually I do remember emailing them when Neil Lennon was getting bombs in the post, so if it was regarding that, and it was a bit of a rant, then it may have been me, but I’ve never posted on their site.
Thats just silly :oD
