Sublime Celtic, Morgan, Lennon, Caldwell, Budge

337

Jim McIntyre must wonder if accepting the Dundee job was his wisest move.  Losing 0-5 to Celtic does not get anyone sacked, but the ease with which the champions unpicked his team was alarming.

It was a sublime performance by Celtic, but in truth, it was so easy, you could not name a player who needed to deliver a top performance.  Rogic (fabulous goal), Forrest, McGregor, Sinclair and Christie dictated issues between them.  By halftime, all that mattered was to complete the game without injury, a hope which was unfulfilled.

I liked what I saw of Daniel Arzani.  He is reminiscent of a stockier Patrick Roberts.  We will get goals from him.  While Lewis Morgan treated us to the rare spectacle of taking corner kicks with both feet.  The first Celtic player to do this since Lubo?  This is an indicator of a deep innate ability.

While Celtic were strolling around Dens in second gear, Saturday’s opponents Hearts, were required to put a shift in to earn a point against Hibs.  Neil Lennon was assaulted by a missile at Tynecastle, days after a Hearts fan brought widespread condemnation for striking a pensioner with a thrown bottle on Sunday.  Although the uproar was not widespread enough to encompass the usually verbose Ann Budge.  Maybe if such matters were faced full on by Hearts they would be less frequent.  Neil’s former team-mate, Gary Caldwell, should consider the man has endured the most violent and persistent racist and sectarian abuse than anyone in Scotland for decades.  The good humour Neil maintains is miraculous.

As we hoped in yesterday’s blog, both teams above Celtic dropped points, meaning we moved above Kilmarnock and within four points of Hearts, with a game in hand.  The title push is well underway.

Releasing annual accounts on the evening of a game, that old trick!  If it was me announcing a £14m loss I might do the same.  Maybe pick up on this later.

  1. GLASGOW CITY COUNCIL’s leader was “subjected to extremist abuse” over the Rangers fan zone row.

     

     

    The SNP’s Susan Aitken has claimed to have been the victim of “extremism” from trolls since she got involved with the spat.

    Yes. He lived n Bearsden and went to Bearsden Primary until he was seven. He took part in a campaign to save the school from demolition a couple of years back. He’s the same age as myself.

    Court action or threatened court action against our board may “ curry favour” with some on here, but to the vast majority of our support it will be viewed dimly, to put it mildly.

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

    It should be noted : We have circa 29000 individual shareholders who have seen their holding dramatically rise over the last decade. Although only circa 2000 actually participate in voting .

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

    The intentions of Res 12 remain sound, but I fear they are in danger of being sidetracked by those who want a stick to attack the Celtic board. The enemy remains the SFA. No own goals please.

     

    =======

     

    You have nothing to fear. SFA accountability is the aim. Accountability to shareholders already exists. It’s why Res12 continues.

  9. This has all the hallmarks of the scenes played out in there original liquidation I feel a DeJa vu coming on, or like Bill Murray in Groundhog Day :) King spinning like crazy & Seethy G wanting better quality players we have seen this show we know the script by heart . The same old crap about to hit the fan with the resultant excrement left to be picked by the rest of us

  10. Apologies Fleagle.

     

     

    Selection ran 13:55 @ DR, not 16:00 as previously stated.
