It’s not often Newco are happy to do Celtic a favour but they obliged yesterday. Conceding an early penalty and red card was too much for St Mirren, our nearest challengers, as they slipped seven points behind the champions.
A resurgent Reo Hatate inspired Celtic to a comfortable win over Kilmarnock a day earlier, ensuring Celtic arrived at the October international break in an historically comfortable position.
Brendan Rodgers has plenty to consider over the next two weeks, in particular, how to better the gap between domestic and European results. That will take all of this experience.

Celtic Mac
Insults don’t cut it with me
Can you answer my question?
cardboardcsc
Maybe you should start thinking outside the box
One must always reap what one has sown.
—————————————————
On July 9, 1948, Zionist forces launched a large-scale military operation known as Operation Dani, which aimed to occupy the cities of Lydda and Ramla. Between July 9 and 13, militias killed dozens of Palestinians, perhaps as many as 200, according to Salman Abu Sitta’s Atlas of Palestine. A city-wide massacre led to a “death march” or mass expulsion of Palestinians.
“The massacre took place in two stages: the first during the time of the city’s occupation, and the second during the operation of mass expulsion of its residents, which is considered one of the largest acts of ethnic cleansing (‘transfer operations’) carried out by the Israelis,” states the Interactive Encyclopedia of the Palestine Question.
Israeli militias expelled between 60,000 and 70,000 inhabitants of the two towns and refugees from nearby villages under direct orders from Yitzhak Rabin – who was at the time director of operations for Operation Dani – with David Ben-Gurion’s agreement. Those who sought shelter in the Lydda mosque were massacred. Between 80 and 176 people inside Dahmash Mosque were massacred with machine guns, grenades and rockets. Twenty-five were killed elsewhere.
The rest were expelled at gunpoint by Rabin in what became known as the “death march” to Ramallah. Old men, women and children fell by the wayside, dying of exhaustion, dehydration and disease.
Money and women’s jewelry were looted at leisure by Israeli soldiers. Some were killed if they resisted. There was so much looting that 1,800 trucks were said to have been loaded with stolen property.
What did the banners say Celtic Mac ?
And maybe retort with logic instead of being obnoxious ffs
My point is it’s a over reaction
I don’t know the timeline of the horrific things that happened on Saturday but I genuinely believe that no Celtic fan would have celebrated civilian deaths including the GB.

Good to see the Euros awarded to the British Isles – I.e. UK & Ireland – but Peter Lawwell’s warning must be heeded in club football – too much means ‘burn out’ – like in so many things Peter is correct.
——–
Geography and history not your strong point. The British Isles (sic) is a defunct colonial expression. It no longer refers to UK and Ireland, as you say. The term “The British Isles” is, quite simply, an anachronistic political designation, and has no real basis in geography. Ireland is, quite simply, not a British island. It used to be one in a political sense, but the fact that a piece of it is still in the UK is no real argument for calling the whole place British. British islands include Skye, the Orkneys, Anglesea, etc. They don’t include Ireland.
I think it was a penalty and a red card. However, if this incident had taken place in the sevco penalty box would we have had the same result. A penalty against sevco and a red card?
Sevco haven’t conceded a penalty in almost two years and tavpen has scored 54 penalties and he has missed about 10.
Spikeysauldman …as you seem to be the hand ball..send the man off penalty clip guy …do you have any of the numerous Goldston howlers to show us involving a team who have not conceded a penalty in 2 years !?…the point being had that incident occurred at the other end and Goldston was involved I guess your conclusion would be the Ref would do the same ?..aye right !!
Jackie Mac …..of course it is Claire is a sexy babe and she is a Tim 🍀
Despite having sympathy with the Palestine cause for justice and freedom from Israeli oppression, deliberately targeting civilians is terrorism. As bad as UK Loyalist scum and Republican Dissidents. Pure evil.
Celtic FC are not a political movement. Too many supporters hide behind Celtic FC to forward their shallow political convictions. The cowards don’t take to the streets or join political movements. Quite happy to be sleekit for 90 plus minutes… hiding behind a football ffs.
Carpe Diem
why the feck would my conclusion be the same ?
i replied on the events at st mirren
i hoped before i saw it, that it would have been blatant cheating – like the fixture schedule, simas push and the various penalty denials last year and the year(s) before
only the currants have the twisted logic of including the correct decisions we get in comparisons versus the incorrect decisions they get
heres a good feckin penalty clip montage – happy ?

No more cowardly than hiding behind Uncle Sam’s apron.
The problem you have with entities like israel, and believe me we have one closer to home who has the same sense of entitlement, the more you let them off the hook the more they will expect in the future. But woe betide when you dish them a taste of their own medicine, then the victim card comes into play.
If i didn’t know better i would be of the opinion reading some of the comments on here that these are the first civilian casualties in the history of humanity. The bleeding hearts on here will never miss an opportunity to stick the boot in, it’s just as well this blog was not on the road when Mountbatten got his comeuppance or when the haystacks went skyward in Warrenpoint. The hand wringing would have been off the scale.
It’s the same suckers who fall for the same lines every time.

Defending the deliberate murder of innocent civilians makes you know better than a Shankill Butcher.

Yes. I marched on the Glasgow streets demanding the end of British Occupation in Ireland and I can assure you of this much, the numbers of demonstrators was minuscule in comparison to the Celtic crowd demanding Irish freedom.
Good morning all from Govanhill. No night shift or has it been deleted?
Good morning all from a groundhog day in the Garngad.
So we have a break from club football (hope all our players get back to us without injury).
Do Scotland have it in them to go and beat Espania and all but secure 1st spot in the group?
D :)
LIEL ABADA has held talks with the Celtic board over the Green Brigade’s pro-Palestine banner during their match against Kilmarnock on Saturday,
——
So now the cretins in the GB, not content with trashing our reputation home and away in Scotland and Europe, and causing the club to pay almost a million Euros in fines, have started to cause unrest among our playing squad.
How many more current players will be sickened by their actions and how many prospective new signings will be put off signing for Celtic?
These GB people are NOT Celtic supporters, they are detractors. They are political agitators using our great club as a platform for their illiterate dogma.
This is the end of the line – no more appeasement.
First step must be to shut down the safe-standing area and refund pro-rata all season tickets. The total cost will be circa one and a half million pounds – we can afford this no problem.
Second step must be a refusal to handle tickets for any away matches, including the UCL.
We can do it right now during the current season and vet, monitor and manage for next season.
This GB rag-bag and the foul-mouthed grouping at the other end of the stadium are inflicting real harm on our club – it is corrosive – let’s snuff it out once and for all.

The statement yesterday evening from the board was a classic case of straw man fallacy.
A Club open to all races and religions, except no one, absolutely no one, is calling for a bar on people at CP.
When the board have to make up an argument to beat, you know they’re struggling.
A club literally founded for the provision of food to kids is now telling their fans to keep quiet on food and water being cut off to 1 million kids in Gaza.
Our board are a disgrace.
I see EL is back.
This will be my one and only post on the situation in Palestine.
Hamas was created-introduced to Palestine by the Israelis, just a tiny bit of research will show this.
Not a hope in hell that Hamas or whoever it was could breech the defence wall without the help and knowledge of the Israelis, not a hope in hell, it’s the most secure border on the planet, if you actually do a bit of digging you will see that this is another false flag and yous in the main are falling for it.
Que Bono, it sure aint the folks in Gaza, what will be the consequence, the slaughter of innocents as ever, Oh and just wait for Zelensky to offer safe haven in ukraine to the Israelis
There are good and evil on both sides
The Exiled Tim
seen a few bits on the false flag theory
and read about the Hamas creation ( a bit like the yanks funding the original ISIS)
the attack did seem strange
wonder when the US aircraft carriers will start firing into Iran ?
was Zelensky wearing the combat fatigues or the suit and shirt he wore when meeting the world’s bankers.
Cloud9 – Yer diatribe at 6.59 reminded me of this ole classic from Anchorman….
Brick Tamland: [opposing women in the newsroom] I read somewhere their periods attract bears. Bears can smell the menstruation.
Brian Fantana: Well, that’s just great. You hear that, Ed? Bears. Now you’re putting the whole station in jeopardy.

International football has a lot to answer for. See youse on the other side. Hopefully no new injuries to worry about.

And yet undercover of the night and through the desert storm

‘THE RHYTHM OF TIME’
There’s an inner thing in every man,
Do you know this thing my friend?
It has withstood the blows of a million years,
And will do so to the end.
It was born when time did not exist,
And it grew up out of life,
It cut down evil’s strangling vines,
Like a slashing searing knife.
It lit fires when fires were not,
And burnt the mind of man,
Tempering leadened hearts to steel,
From the time that time began.
It wept by the waters of Babylon,
And when all men were a loss,
It screeched in writhing agony,
And it hung bleeding from the Cross.
It died in Rome by lion and sword,
And in defiant cruel array,
When the deathly word was ‘Spartacus’
Along the Appian Way.
It marched with Wat the Tyler’s poor,
And frightened lord and king,
And it was emblazoned in their deathly stare,
As e’er a living thing.
It smiled in holy innocence,
Before conquistadors of old,
So meek and tame and unaware,
Of the deathly power of gold.
It burst forth through pitiful Paris streets,
And stormed the old Bastille,
And marched upon the serpent’s head,
And crushed it ‘neath its heel.
It died in blood on Buffalo Plains,
And starved by moons of rain,
Its heart was buried in Wounded Knee,
But it will come to rise again.
It screamed aloud by Kerry lakes,
As it was knelt upon the ground,
And it died in great defiance,
As they coldly shot it down.
It is found in every light of hope,
It knows no bounds nor space
It has risen in red and black and white,
It is there in every race.
It lies in the hearts of heroes dead,
It screams in tyrants’ eyes,
It has reached the peak of mountains high,
It comes searing ‘cross the skies.
It lights the dark of this prison cell,
It thunders forth its might,
It is ‘the undauntable thought’, my friend,
That thought that says ‘I’m right!’
Bobby Sands
Jesus,. I have read some preposterous things online in my time … but Israel founded Hamas and Israel helped them do what they’ve done over the weekend? That’s up there with the most spectacular stuff on the moonhowler followers of the other lot.
Honest to God, that’s “get a grip” stuff, it really is.
As to our board being a disgrace … for what? For speaking out against a banner which celebrates a terrorist attack? Some of you, I don’t know … we inhabit different worlds, I think.
I’ve marched for the Palestinians. I’ve raised money for them. I’ve been friends with a lot of the Palestinian community in Glasgow and across Scotland, and I’m digsusted at some of what I’ve read written here and elsewhere in the guise of supporting that cause.
Our club did it right. The problem is not Celtic here, not our directors. The problem is the armchair revolutionaries in our stands who think it appropriate to put something like that up whilst people are being murdered on the other side of the world.
Some people just reflexively hate other people. I used to think they were all on the other side of the city; sadly I know that’s not the case now.
As to our board being a disgrace … for what? For speaking out against a banner which celebrates a terrorist attack?

Agree 100%.
Totally done with the GB also.
Time for them all to leave and we can all concentrate in supporting out team that we all love.
After all we are attending a football game and not a political rally in George Square.
12 April 2002
“Speaking in Jerusalem Dec. 20, U.S. Ambassador to Israel Daniel Kurtzer made the connection between the growth of the Islamic fundamentalist groups Hamas and Islamic Jihad, and Israel’s promotion of the Islamic movement as a counter to the Palestinian nationalist movement. Kurtzer’s comments come very close to EIR’s own presentation of the evidence of Israel’s instrumental role in establishing Hamas, and its ongoing control of that organization.”
“We are doing everything to stop the violence. But Hamas is a creature of Israel which at the time of Prime Minister [Yitzhak] Shamir [the late 1980s, when Hamas arose], gave them money and more than 700 institutions, among them schools, universities and mosques. Even [former Israeli Prime Minister Yitzhak] Rabin ended up admitting it, when I charged him with it, in the presence of [Egpytian President Hosni] Mubarak.”
All senior leaders of Hamas, are members of the Muslim Brotherhood, the far-flung international Islamic organization with operations throughout the Islamic world. In the past, Anglo-American factions have not hesitated to manipulate the Brotherhood’s various factions to destabilize secular Arab regimes. When Zbigniew Brzezinski launched the Afghan war against Russia in the 1980s, many of the Arab mujahideen fighters were recruited through Muslim Brotherhood-linked networks. The Muslim Brotherhood story fills volumes; the crucial point here is that Hamas, one of its branches, has traditionally stood in opposition to the secular nationalism of Arafat, the PLO, and its supporting governments.
A little more reading . . .. . . .and a little less writing. . . .. .perhaps. . .

Thanks for that. IT reinforces my view about how pointles OUR opinions are. We simply don`t KNOW enough to have a meaningful opinion.
