Strikers like Anthony

578

When Anthony Stokes picked himself off the ground having won a penalty yesterday his eagerness for a piece of the action was clear.  Having missed the majority of the season through injury he is a player with a point to prove.

The penalty correctly went to Kris Commons but Anthony still had an opportunity to remind us what a valuable player he can be.  He is not the strongest or most skilful player at the club but he is a natural goal-scorer.

Competition for a place in Celtic’s attack has seldom been more acute.  Lassad, Miku, Samaras, Stokes and Watt are all pressing for a place alongside Gary Hooper.  Each of them will have to consider the possibility of new arrivals in the summer, when securing a place in the squad, never mind the starting line-up, will be a challenge.

Anthony’s return to fitness, and form, is a timely reminder of what he brings to Celtic, and what we have missed once or twice this season.

On Friday 1 March the Lisbon Lions will be at the Kerrydale Suite providing commentary and answering questions on their magnificent European Cup final win in 1967. This has never happened in 46 years since that game, to say it is a unique opportunity fails to tell the whole story.

The event is part of our 125 4 125 campaign – central to reinvigorating the charitable spirit which is part of the club we love. It will be a family occasions, tickets are available at £10 for adults and £5 for children. The night has been organised by several fans working in conjunction with the people at Celtic Charity, so please do your best to support this great occasion. Individual tickets or tables are available, details here.

  1. It’s aw peter lawells fault they shout !

     

     

    Well I would rather have him than chuckles green any day of the week .

     

     

    I’ve always said that some of our support just don’t know how good they’ve got it!

     

    Be very very careful what you wish for!

     

     

    Terry Cassidy?

     

    Jock brown ?

     

     

    Our real enemies will be loving all this in fighting …..

     

     

    Rags will flame the fire

     

     

    Charlatans will call SSB impersonating bhoys and girls in order to add fuel to the fire and some will take the the bait hook line and sinker.

     

     

    As I said …. The enemies will see this as a weakness in our armour

     

     

    The blow has been struck

     

    And our club is bleeding……

     

    The enemy will smell blood….

     

     

    The Orc in this situation would stand shoulder to shoulder …

     

     

    What will we do?

     

     

    I fear some of our supports reaction

     

     

    I really really do

    While individual members of the Police force are like you me and awbuddy else, the Police force itself is a political force and arguably always has been. While we argue over the rights and wrongs of the GB, petrol has risen 8p a litre in as many days without a mention anywhere. The bedroom tax is going to have far-reaching implications across the country but here what about the GB. The old divide and conquer amongst the plebs is going full pelt just now.

    How I knew you would bite?

     

     

    what did you call Bobo again?

     

     

    Your memory is terrible. Shall we go back through the CQN archives and find it and your previous admissions of guilt to this.

     

     

    Yet you throw stones at the GB, who are not innocents at all, but at the same time, I have never ever heard them slur a Celtic player, unlike yourself

     

     

    The problem I have with you, other than posting as multiple personalities, is that you are a grenade launcher! You seek audience and you care not. I wonder why you post on here and kid on you support the Hoops, but then you are not in isolation.

    Great post.

     

     

    We are a strange support, I’ve never seen a time where we ever agree. We are constantly attacking each other, even when we should be thinking as one we have those that think different. One way or the other :O)

  6. continued from 23:41

     

     

    the running track to take a picture of Packy Bonner. A very mild offence but an offence in the eyes of two Aberdeen policemen. At this moment in time it is an offence to stand all the way during the game therefore everyone in the GB section is inviting police action. If everyone else stands in the ground for any length of time they are told to sit or face ejection. We my not agree with it but thats how it is. This rules also applies to the GB section and the GB leaders should remain their members of this.

     

    There has also in the past been little stunts with green smoke bombs hardly a serious offence but an offence just the same. Although not for sometime. The last one I remember by the GB was down at Berwick.

     

     

    IMO the GB have to be smarter and continue to give the team and the club excellent support.

  7. viewfaethewindae on

    Top of the table, last 16 ECL, Champions and debt free while the Rangers are dead and the big taking point is the GB, remember the 90s?

  8. Celtic will need to comment on this issue.

     

     

    Anyone know if our game vs st johnstone is on tv on tuesday?

    What was your thoughts on Miscegination again? My recollection is vague.

  10. Burnley 78 ….

     

     

    Spot on …

     

     

    The forces of darkness will be rubbing their hands together!

     

     

    Divide and conquer strategy will go into overdrive !

     

     

    The stench of Orc on here is making me wretch !

     

     

    And many will be taken in by these charlatans call for action against our club!

     

     

    They just don’t get it

  11. Great news that Stokes is going to get a new contract – long over due.

     

     

    Most under-rated player in the squad.

     

     

    20+ goals a season guarenteed. Should be a Celt for the rest of his career!

  12. One thing I think we forget in this is we are on CQN only a portion of the Celtic support as the Green Brigade are and so are the other associations, blogs and supporter’s club.

     

     

    Many if not most people on here back the Green Brigade as fellow Celtic fans but sadly there are a lot of people out there who don’t like them if twitter is anything to go by alone.

     

     

    Celtic is many things to many different people.

     

     

    This is going to be a rough week I think.

    What is wrong exactly with asking Celtic to come out with a statement saying it deplores the harassment of its supporters. The huns would.

  14. Pauloantony.

     

     

    My sentiments.. Exactly..Pal..

  15. Will the GB be back for the Dundee game…..some one said theyre the ban is for 2 games…….dont think plod likes them phones wi the lights somehow.

    CQN is a very clique place.

     

     

    Fans on here and the GB and it’s still a tiny part of the match going Celtic support, some on here need to realise that.

  17. The recent survey by the club, they asked everyone if they wanted a standing section.

     

    I answered yes, I also answered I wouldn’t use it, I was thinking that would be an area for the GB, what did you think/answer?

     

     

    That would be a practical resolution to many of the problems, maybe PL isn’t such a bad guy.

  18. Kojo

     

     

    If I relate my personal experience, on top of the GB harrassment. I’m painting a picture for you. Now if you think these examples and the several others listed over the last 24 hours are not related, well who is err ……challenged ?

     

     

    Probably the same guy who posted something about the police only arresting the guilty……….

    The stench of Orc on here is making me wretch !

     

    Who are these Orcs.

     

    There are several posts today alluding to interlopers, new posters and a possible hun influence.

     

    I am not often posting outwith moonhowling hours, so I could be wrong, but I see folks expressing valid reasonably held personal views, expressing both support and questions for both sides of the discussion.

     

    Am I naive, blind or just old and stupid?

     

    Can we all attempt to read differing opinions without being sceptical of the poster?

     

    And if he or she is an interloper, what difference should it make?

    I’m watching Shutter Island.

     

    I’m now wondering what reality is?

     

    A statement from an unknown unidentified spokesman for an unaffiliated group

     

    or

     

    The silence of the succulent lambs.

     

     

    I am sure as meat only Findus Lasagne that there is a grain of truth somewhere and both sides believe they have the moral high ground.

     

    I’m a wee bit high and hallucinatory at the moment having had potatoes for dinner for the first time in a week.

     

    Self imposed, cardiologist advised diet.

    If you are now on a low carb diet, can I recommend Flax Seeds as a Fibre that negates carbs, they are as cheap as chips compared to other natural good things and allows more carbs to be taken.

     

     

    They go down a lot easier than Camu Camu and Maca powders that are both excellent for boosting the immune system.

    IPox falling to bits …

     

    Orc the laughing stock of world football….

     

    The Orc in the lowest ebb of Scottish football …..
