I know you have heard a lot about Scott Sinclair’s form not matching his Player of the Year level of last season, but with 8 goals in the league (joint top) and 15 overall (top in Scottish football), you would be hard pushed to suggest this is anything other than a right good season for the winger.
What you have heard less about is the reaction from the player to his slower start to the season. He stayed behind on a programme of work to improve his game; doing exercises designed to improve fleet-of-foot, and perhaps confidence.
Celtic players are not machines (they just look like that when they are winning). Performances are a consequence of hundreds of preparatory hours, sacrifice and denial. Even those will little to prove, like Scott, feel like they have everything to prove as they train for the next game. When they are struggling for the form they want, it is at the forefront of their minds when they wake in the morning, no matter how good results are.
The big moment in Scott’s season came three minutes from the end of what, for him, was a very hostile game at Fir Park, when he told Leigh Griffiths he would be hitting the penalty. Miss, the unbeaten record stops and you put yourself in the hole. Score, and you are the Pope of Fir Park. Others would have stepped aside.
No one has worked harder to get to the top of the scoring charts. He’s going to be a big player for the remainder of this month.

” And now you can see why Celtic decided to play this little boy today ”
George Davidson BBC Sportscene
Why are they saying only the person named on the season ticket can use it yet they let you upgrade a consession ticket for 20 quid so that someone else can use it
Big Packy,
Bob Crampsey was a yed in the wool Queens Park supporter.
His brother played for them.
At St.Augustine’s, around 1957-8, I had him as a History teacher.
On St.Patrick’s Day, my mate came to school sporting his shamrock.
Crampsey made him take it off.
He was Celtic neutral, which, as a commentator, he should have ben.
TURKEY BHOY @12:47pm,although I agree with you do you not think Mcginn would be a good player to get before he heads to England,he looked ok on Sunday.Reminded me of Broony v Lenny,and I can’t remember who said that first:-)))
MILD MANNERED PEDRO DELGADO
I think that was the time the real David Francey came in third.
TTT
Didn’t like Celtic and didn’t really hide it, an early forerunner of Andy Walker except he was smart.
On the same wonderful freedom loving day as the internet is officially handed over to private corporations, for their private freedom loving enterprises, Disney buys Fox. So now Sky belongs to Disney. Life is just a box of chocolates.
THOMTHETHIM FOR OSCAR OK. sorry to hear that about your mate. just prefered him to the other so called neutrals.
CELTERELLA
Murdoch clung onto Fox News and Fox Sports. Plus his newspapers. He hasn’t gone away…
Have to say and I’ve said it before SS always looks to me as if he doesn’t want to be in this picture always looks in the huff,but you can’t argue about his commitment,but as someone else said he does play the ball back to where it came from a lot.Just my opinion and still no a Hun or worse still a troll:-)))
BOURNESOUPRECIPE .i really didnt know he disliked celtic. any reasons why.
BIG PACKY on 14TH DECEMBER 2017 6:43 PM
right you young ghuys look away this is for the more mature bhoys. remember i think it was david francie. he would say now divers has the ball as being johnny divers but my old man used to say divers as sounding like scivers but francie would say it sounding like rivers who is right.hh
*I always pronounced it the same as big Frank did in the song, what’s this Glen Daly talk, but my Dumbarton in-laws said it the same as a pearl diver.
FAIRHILL BHOY
You don’t half talk a lot of pish!
Just my opinion.
BIG PACKY
He was a hun.

Big Rab Douglas asked about EBT’s , and if titles should be stripped ? Of course they should , the SFA had their heads in the sand says Rab , adding there’s no way the SFA will do anything now .
*is that the same Rab the Brickie that some claimed was a hun
Any hope of a media career now in tatters .
*unlike that great Celt Packy
TONTINE TIM
My old Dad called him Divvers, therefore, so did I!
PHILBHOY .did you mean bob crampsey was a hun. sorry if ive got mixed up.
BIG PACKY
Bob was a Tim, Francey was a hun.
PHILBHOY-help me out,be more specific:-))
PHILBHOY. thanks i always thought crampsey was a tim. didnt know about francie.
We had an acquaintance, a former teacher at the ould St Columba’s High School in Clydebank, who is married to John Diver’s cousin, he pronounced it the same as the song.
Big Packy,
I had no problem with Crampsey.
In a world of Peter Thompson, Alex Cameron, etc., Bob came over as a neutral commentator, neither bigging us up nor running us down.
He didn’t profess any Irish connections, but, why should he have had, if he hadn’t any.
Fairhill Bhoy,
it could pretty much refer to anything you post ;-))
GORDYBHOY-back in your shell ya bam:-))
I’m lost with all the symbols ghuys out after their posts, what does :=}} mean please.
Re Fairhill’s original post about Sinclair, I respectfully disagree just see how the bhoy celebrates when he scores, he gets Celtic OK.
minis at the weekend – two wins in the last two games and we’re away from home – a big ask but we can do it. It was a funny game yesterday but we really tried a lot of passes and moves – didn’t come off always but the intent was there- more of that please
We score more at Swinecastle than any other ground
Bob Crampsey was nuetral. I remember him saying he preferred Henderson to Jinky because the former was ” more direct, more end product…” It was just his judgement that was poor. How did you bhoys who were his students do in their Higher History?
Embdae think Bendan has been keeping LG wound up for Sunday? He loves scoring against that mob
CORKCELT-I get that ,but watch him closely,he only ever goes loopy when he scores not when anybody else scores,maybe that’s his thing.By the way absolutely glad he’s our player.:-))= happy.:-((((no happy
Yaya getting sung at the darts:-)))
Bada
Wee huns have sorted defense since 1-5-5 has come in.
I expect tight game & usual sec abuseof our players. Griff would be good shout
From another forum—There is a very simple explanation for the letter from the ticket office.
In the past couple of months, the ticket office before games has been inundated with fans complaining that season cards are not working. Some are then told the card has been suspended due to non-payment of credit instalments. Then some card-owners have the audacity to complain to Celtic about breaching data protection by telling a third party – the person he/she lent the card to – that he/she has missed finance payments.
This letter is to cover Celtic’s arse with data protection laws. That’s why the letter says, if you come to the ticket office with a season card issue, you must show photo id before they will talk to you, so they can be sure that they are talking to the true account holder.
That’s also why the letter says the club is under no obligation to discuss a season ticket holder’s personal details with a third party, ie if the card has been suspended and you can’t prove it’s your name on the card, they’ll tell you nothing.
As usual, the club gets it in the neck when the fault is with a section of the support.
I have read some absolute nonsense on here surrounding this letter. Par for the course.
PHILBHOY???
