The Celtic Park theatre

350

Slightly annoyed at being moved from the Upper North tonight but after experiences of League Cup games at this time of the season against Partick, Falkirk and Morton, it’s probably no bad thing that atmosphere is concentrated up close and personal to the field.  Celtic Park can be an intimidating theatre, but League Cup nights need some crowd management to make it so.

Remember, it’s a 19:15 kick off, so don’t pitch up midway through the second half!

We’re less than three weeks away from the Great Scottish Run and my Celtic Foundation T-shirt has just arrived.  If you are registered to run and would like to raise £125 for the Foundation’s work towards Health, Equality, Learning and Poverty, email them here and they’ll be in touch.

It’s not too late to register for the event itself, which you can do here.

I know the call goes out often, and I know everyone cannot get involved, but the community of Celtic fans is anchored in a tradition of caring for those in need.  We need to continue to tell this story and ensure the message is not lost.  I have a MyDonate page here, if you can help out.

Many thanks.

    Join the SNP by all means but you should perhaps be asking why 1 in 5 SNP people against independence?

     

    Or why Salmond could not deliver one SNP area -( Dundee aside) for independence?

     

    The left in the west of Scotland are being conned big time if they think that an independent Scotland would be any better for ordinary people are kidding themselves on

     

    By the way – they are never going to voluntarily scrap the OB act since it is one of their flagship policies

     

     

    Tonight we need to play with pace and start getting the ball in the box far more often to give our strikers more of a chance!

     

     

    Not going tonight as our daughter is having a welcome mass at her school

     

     

    Tickets getting used though

  7. Just popped on to see if there was any team news……fantastic timing embramike!

     

     

    Thank you :)

  8. anybody in easterhouse area that needs a ticket for tonight.free to a good home due to my work commitments.

  9. Guidetti to score a hat-trick tonight.

     

     

    Scepovic and Griffiths to come on in the second, and each to also score a hat-trick.

     

     

    9-0.

     

     

    HH!!

  10. I dont like the looks of that line up …. I think McG will drift too far forward, leaving us with only 2 in the middle… against hearts’ men in the middle (Baubin and gomis and ?) I am afraid we will give up too much possession…

     

     

    for me, this game is simple … dominate the midfileld and everything else will fall into place…..

  11. Same old same old

     

     

    MF under pressure all night, our 2 overrun by their presumed 5

     

     

    Stokes hardly likely again to flourish in wide role

  12. Joe Filippis Haircut on

    Well Griffiths has made the bench but rumours still persist that he is going on loan to Hibernian. Surprised that Stokes gets the nod over Scepovic. H.H.

    I didn;t hear it from JC. Heard it from a good source in Edinburgh that LG will start.

     

     

    LB

     

    ————————————————-

     

    Not that good a source……..

  14. Contrary to most I think the issue we have is not the wide men, it’s Commons.

     

     

    He is supposed to play the ‘number 10’ role but cheats. He doesn’t pressure the deep midfielder and never helps his midfield.

  15. Joe Filippis Haircut on

    I see Monster Munch saying he doesnt care who the deid team get in the next round of the league cup that they can beat anyone at Ibrokes so how does he know they will be drawn at Ibrox ? H.H.

  16. Still on holiday so unable to make the game serious concerns about mid f again, we will be out numbered, just hope that we work hard enough to cover for each other and don’t give the ball away cheaply.

    I think SJ is doing what RD wants all of his players to do … pressurize the other team when we lose possessiion ….

     

     

    I think the problem is that, unless that is done as a unit (which it isn’t at the moment), it makes the one player who is doing it look ill-disciplined ….

     

     

    I think the problem is the rest of them who aren’t doing it ….

     

     

    I think that his more laconic style is why Biton (who I think is the best midfielder we have) isn’t starting …. RD wants more up tempo.

  18. 67 European Cup Winners on

    McGregor every game !!!!

     

    I think it’s 4-2-2-2 ???

     

    Don’t know how Brown Johnsen McGregor and Commons make a 4 !!

     

     

    Or if it’s 4-2-3-1

     

    Don’t know the 3 Commons McGregor Stokes?? Or Guidetti ?

     

     

    Another shuffle Ronny

  19. I’m OK with that team. I did not share the universal criticism of Stokes from the Motherwell game. In my opinion he was no worse or no better than the bulk of the team. All it needs on here is for one poster to jump on a player and then the chancers are emboldened and they all jump in. I don’t share in the universal criticism of Johansen either.
