Striking partners, sloppy thinking, define overinvestment

613

It’s difficult to say for sure if Stjarnan are the worst team I’ve seen Celtic play but they are there or there about.  They defended resolutely, have a good goalkeeper and scored a fine goal, but they are no Arbroath.

Ronny will be annoyed at the loss of the early goal.  I always think of San Marino’s opening goal against England on these occasions.  This was back in the 90s, when San Marino weren’t the team they are now (cough).  England took kick off but found themselves a goal down after 7 seconds.  They lost a sloppy goal because they were far too complacent, as did Celtic last night.

One thing which will be clear to all is the focus on goal Leigh Griffiths brought when he came on.  It will be tempting to contrast this to Nadir Ciftci, who looked (and was) less potent, but Leigh’s first sight of goal came as a result of Nadir’s work.  I suspect both benefit from being able to play off a partner.

The passing looked better last night and it was good to see the lungs remained productive until late in the game.  We now have a big week of preparation ahead of the next round.

Delighted to see the Celtic Foundation on the shirts last night, well done to all concerned.  The Foundation should feature more prominently in everything we do (fans and club).  And if you’ve got a pair of trainers, sign up for the Great Scottish Run.

Just caught news of Newco’s £175k bid for Scott Allan.  Define overinvestment, to use local parlance.

    Oh and I’m the devil incarnate, there’s not one who will question that,think, think then be sick

    Last week, TCR and JJ went into a Bookies and I stopped using them a long time ago, just used online. I commented it was a den of iniquity, just a comment swirling in my head, a total hypocrit, I couldnae ever be more offensive. ;))

     

     

    I sat alongside the down and out and offered him the change I had, we had won on a Horse earlier, the down and out ran away like he had seen the Devil in me. It was certainly something to think about.

     

     

    I’m so utterly unclean.

    Now kids, think about what you have been reading

     

    Where are we going ?

  4. Canamalar,

     

     

    Futurequake when they were Broadcasting went against the right wing Christian grain in America. They said that the Lord was making it easy for Believers to tell the believers in, a dangerous religion, the Good News, rather than risking their heads chopped off. Consume Consume Consume.

     

     

    All these Really Good People are fleeing and we have a God of Money?

     

     

    Yeshua about that?

     

     

    We should be Promoting Christianity more in our individual Lives, on Forums or even in real life.

     

     

    NAAAAAHHH.

    Funny Romanians..Ha

     

     

    Romanian side troll Legia Warsaw by kitting out their ballboys in Celtic shirts..

     

     

     

    Romanian side Botoșani have a sense of humour – and a good memory.

     

     

    Pitted against Polish gianst Legia Warsaw in their Europa League qualifier tonight, they decided to play some mind games and poke fun at the opposition with a cheeky and subversive tactic – they had their ballboys kitted out in Celtic shirts.

     

     

     

    Why Celtic shirt, you ask?

     

     

    Because it was the Scottish side who took Legia Warsaw’s place in the final round of Champions League qualifiers last summer, after the Polish side had unwittingly used a suspended player against Celtic.

     

     

    The decision was extremely harsh and arbitrary on Legia, given that they’d won the game 6-1, and that player had only come on in the dying moments, which meant it really had no bearing on the result.

     

     

    So they were reminded of that cruel injustice throughout tonight’s game at Botosani, but they didn’t seem too bothered, running out 3-0 winner in spite of the trolling.

  8. He actually told me to stop giving away his best secrets, really :) that’s what he said,

     

    He said, stop giving away my best secrets you

     

    Being as good a Christian as I can be, I said OK, as you would, No ?

  9. Canamalar,

     

     

    A wee bit of advice.

     

     

    Dinnae fight everything.

     

     

    Fight the biggest threat.

     

     

    It’s up to you to decide the biggest threat.

     

     

    There are so many wanting so much change.

     

     

    You are Full on with Pope Francis, I agree he is talking good stuff.

     

     

    Be aware of as much as possible Good Warrior.

     

     

    I have no idea if Francis is the Shepherd of his flock at, and this is only my opinion, the End of Days, Christ, and I’m not too sure, someone did anyway, mentioned…. Never Judge 1 person.

     

     

    Pray so much for Francis that he stays Strong to the WORD of GOD.

  10. The Worldwide Revolution was jibbered about in all the documentaries I, as a sad lonely dude, watched.

     

     

    The Pope Francis is INCREDIBLE.

     

     

    I urge all Catholics and Non Catholics, even non Believers to just ask that God makes Francis a Genuine force for Good.

     

     

    F…theUN.

    Went to a TEDx talk in my lunch break. Guy called sir Ray Avery. Kiwi sirs like to extract the Micky out of themselves. He was a great speaker, believed in living life to its fullest, having dreams and taking the Barriers down. He started life in a London orphanage glue ear, short sighted no specs so his education was the school of life. To cut a long story short his ambition now is to save half a billion starving children. End child poverty. He is going to do it utilising a powerful combination of enzymes in kiwi fruit that will allow starving children to digest protein easily and thrive. Not a bad dream. Dream on. Bring on the carrier bags.

  12. The baby Jesus, or as the educated tell us

     

    THE CHRIST, did not judge us, he tried to save us all, he gave his life that we would ALL get to heaven. Christians, Jews, Hindus, obviously there were no Islamists because they came after the baby Jesus and they’ve been trying to get a bit of attention ever since they arrived on the scene, but the baby Jesus has been waiting for them, they know it and so do the rest of the pagans, stupid pagans

  13. Taurangabhoy on

    Canamalar hope you are awright mate, you seem angry at life the universe and everything last wee while. However you do it get some chill. Hail hail

  14. Auldheid….

     

     

    I really respect the stuff you do for the “support”….

     

     

    Once again this week, you promoted SELF.

     

     

    That is AntiChristian, nae matter how you Dress up the Organisation about forgiveness.

     

     

    You tried this crap before.

     

     

    Stop it NOW.

  15. Taurangbhoy,

     

    Aussie mason, hmm

     

    And all theses children he wants to save, does he have accommodation ? Maybe just a little concentration camp that guarantees two years imprisonment for relating reports of child abuse to the public ?

     

    Apparently that the Australian way, and has been for the last 75 years, but lets not discuss that, Celtic is a family club.

    Strange But True (and Funny for Some)..

     

     

    After watching the Mick Fanning Shark Attack at the Start of the Week..

    A Brilliant Dog that could Run forever..

     

     

    Unfortunately the Only time Ghaibreal would Point was when he Could Not see Me..;-)

     

     

    l used to Show People this.. by Hiding from Him on the Beach..Very Funny..

     

     

    We lived across the road from the Beach so he was Well know with the Locals..

     

     

    Considering He was a ‘Duck’ Dog and had Webbed Feet the Only time the Fecker would go in the Water was when l went in..

     

     

    EnyWhooo..

     

     

    Every Morning we would go Down to the Beach and Ghaibreal would Leg it to the Next Beach about 2km away..Then Run back..Think he Visited the Restaurant’s back Door as he always came back Happy..;-)

     

     

    This Day he came back to Our Beach and l’m Chatting to a Couple of Locals One said..”He’s Pointing”..

     

     

    Only thing was He was Not Pointing to Me..He was Pointing Out to Sea..?

     

     

    Next thing He Dives in the Water and Started swimming Straight Out to Sea..Never ever had Done that before..l thought wtf is he Doing as he was Now about 70 Meters from Shore..Then the Person next to me Pointed to a Swimmer about 150 Meters out swimming across the Bay..

     

     

    Only then did we Realise the Guy had a White Bathing Cap on and l Had a White Baseball Cap on..Back to Front..FFs..

     

     

    As Ghaibreal got close to Him from the Side out of sight..l think His Paw touched the Guys leg..

    Ghailhailbreal won’t even ask what the brown was. Funny 001. We get the occasional orca pod in the harbour, my Ozzie mate kayaks and got between a mother and baby. Went in with blue jeans came out with brown cords. Not as tasty as the giant sting rays they snack on.
