Of all the football nonsense, I hate scapegoating most. So Ryan, I’m sorry, but what on earth were you doing? We were 0-2 ahead and had created several other very good chances. Milan were nowhere, they had not mustered a cohesive attack. That foul was conceded in the perfect spot for a free kick taker; you could read the script on how momentum would switch the moment it was awarded.
Attackers are primarily there to exploit opponents weaknesses, Tom Rogic, Odsonne Edouard and Ryan Christie combined to do this and put Celtic two ahead in the San Siro. Tom came close on another occasion, Callum McGregor had a gilt-edged chance and having got himself into the perfect position, Jeremie Frimpong froze with Milan at his mercy. We could have been out of sight.
There is a team in this squad. The formation looked right. Frimpong seemed liberated from his normal wide anchor, Rogic worried defenders before tiring; in particular, I was impressed by the way the ball was accurately bulleted across the field.
Oh, and we cannot defend for buttons. I was chastised by a 16-year-old after the game for talking up the relative merits of this performance compared to Ross County. Apparently there is a rulebook for defending two goal leads away to tier one teams, you defend like Ross County and close the game out. But we don’t know how to defend like Ross County. Imagine that!
What I will say is, they fought for their manager last night, Commando Christie in particular.

Re Sligo I keep badgering TOHG to get his passport so I can get mine 🏴🇮🇪
Glad to read Barry Frys article on Ivan Toney.They totally verify the updates I was giving out on here during the transfer window,on the player.He was desperate to come,and would not speak to any other clubs.Strachan being the main reason,he also had a liking for Celtic.God alone knows who thought that Ajeti was a better buy.
As far as I have been told,Strachan was urging Celtic to sign him.Toney was told to try and hang on until we knew what was happening with Eddy,we were interested,then we hang on to Eddy,then sign Ajeti.
Just another clusterf— by us.
As I said the other day this place can be so special.
Lovely post SID.

My sister passed away with leukaemia before I was born as a youngster I realised that it was upsetting for my parents but it was only when I became a father myself that I realised the pain they must have endured.My own son had cancer last year and I was devastated and also terrified but had to put in a stong face to help him (can only imagine how he was feeling) thankfully he has now fully recovered but the fear of losing him was all consuming so can only imagine the pain in the hearts of Dan Dan and Sid 1888.
TB
He went for 1.5m more than what Ajeti reportedly cost us, Ajeti looked deadly in the box early doors however he looks heavy to me and could shed a few kilos, looking at the striking options we had at the time with Griffiths’ Eduoard Klimala and Bayo he should have been signed, we dont half mess up transfers which costs us more long term, all of the 4 I named may not be at Celtic next season, makes it look even worse.
Sid- very humbling to read your post HH

Sid1888,
That was a great post which I’m sure will be of immense help to DanDan.
Both of your families are in my thoughts.
Take care x

Bang on with that advise, folk have been buying new caravans at my site which pre covid were £38k now selling @£43k. Post covid these guys are losing big style in fact a £15k loss is a blessing.
Then there is the age rule to watch out for, over 20 years is compulsive evacuation from the site which you pay for, so check the rules😵
The Hand Of God,
I didn’t realise that about your son, that must have been so tough for you all.
Great news that he has recovered.
All the best to you all 👍🏼
” BLANTYRETIM IS PRAYING FOR THE KNOX FAMILY on 6TH DECEMBER 2020 8:04 AM
The game we need to play next hoot is keep oldtim away from the bar.”
We could always have a kitty ( or a `Walte`r as we used to call it) .
Where did that apostrophe come from? ` Just plain `Walter`.
SID 1888
You are a giant of a man .
Look ! Another uninvited apostrophe jumped in before `just`.
What is happening here? `
HOT SMOKED
Think you need to put your fingers on d’iet :O)
BLANTYRE TIM,
Do NOT allow any Site Owner to kid you on.
The Site Owner that I had assured my wife and I at the time that IF YOU maintain the Caravan properly washing and waxing etc etc, it will NOT drop in value…That is 100% Crap.
NO Matter how well you keep your Caravan it WILL Decrease in value with each passing day…that is a FACT !
I had no way of knowing that MY Site Owner was also a RACIST, at the time that I bought it…but I soon found out from other Caravan Owners on the Site after the purchase, and that information became MORE Evident during the next Three years when I became aware of him NOT allowing Asians and others onto the Site.
I eventually sold my caravan to an English Guy who lived in Aberdeen. When he first replied to my AD, by a phone call, the FIRST Question that I HAD to ask him…” Are You WHITE” ?
That was very awkward for me as you can imagine, but by that time, I KNEW that it would be pointless to try and sell to anyone who was NOT White, due to the Racist views on My Site Owner.
I am NOT saying that ALL Site Owners are Racist…but most of them, if not all…are Greedy Bassa’s !
Act as IF You and your wife KNOW NOTHING about Buying/Selling and/or Maintence of Caravans and as a ” Test” next week when you may be speaking to the Site Owner….ASK Him/Her this…
” IF we maintain the Caravan properly, will it DECREASE in value as time goes by ? ”
IF the Site Owner replies.. ” NO”…Then you will KNOW that you are dealing with a LIAR.
ALSO, ask Him/her …” Is there a Percentage Fee attached to any Private Sale….and IF so….how much…is it 10 % or what ? ”
Make SURE that You have written confirmation of what any Percentage the Site Owner will demand, IF You decide to sell up at a later date.
You can ask the Site Owner, IF they are Racist etc…but dont expect an honest answer !
These Site Owners are “UP” to ANY Dodge to make money, as another example is that they may/will RECOMEND A Supplier of Gas Bottles, simply because the Site Owner has a ” Deal” already in place with that particular supplier, and the supplier MAY be giving the Site Owner some sort of Personal Discount etc , in Exchange for the Site Owner to recommend THAT particular supplier.
THAT particular Gas Supplier MAY NOT be very reliable with deliveries etc…so its better for YOU if you ask other Caravan Owners already on Site.
Sorry for going on a bit, but I just do NOT want to see you and your good Lady being ” RIPPED OFF”.
I could buy another caravan Tomorrow, but I would NEVER buy another one in a Million years. The Caravan that I bought back in 2003, was BRAND NEW, just off the Assembly line….MO Matter how warm I tried to keep it the COLD AIR would STILL come through the flooring and Vents…it was NOT ideal in winter time.
HH Mate.
according to the missus Im an apostrophe catastrophe………….

Anyone else received a booklet from The Office for National Statistics inviting you to take part in a Covid-19 Infection Survey?
It looks totally legitimate but as scams are spreading like the virus, I feel it is better to check.

Celtic is defending the team photo taken last month. Whilst we may have technically operated within the rules, I must admit that I was surprised when I saw this and didn’t think that it was appropriate. At a minimum it’s now a further distraction in a season that has been full of them.

May I add my condolences and tributes to both DanDan and Sid 1888 for their losses and for their so touching posts. May both of their boys rest in peace.
Another question. This time Crossword related. The clue is:
`Headless monster to finish drink a tPat`s village.` (9)
The answer is probably `Greengage`and I get the `Headless monster = (O) Gre but what about the `engage` part? ….and who is Pat?
PS Any post of mine after this will be Celtic related !
I’ve just had an email from Prince Okelumbo asking me to get involved in an exclusive and lucrative, Caravan Park development in a prime location oootside Lagos……………I need to move quickly tho’……..
BB1
As `Lagos` is an anagram of `Goals` , does Okelumbo play in our defence?
Answer might be greendale it being postman pat village

Agreed. Who was behind that in your opinion?
Big jimmy..
Regarding caravans, are their not different laws in Scotland compared to other parts of the uk?.
Government Minister George Eustace just said the views of Millwall fans ‘ have to be respected…’..
GEEBEE 1978,
Well,that’s the question.It was deffo not Strachan,so its down to Lenny and Hammond.The deal Toney signed
helped. for was 6 million,with add ons,maybe rising to 10.No idea if PL was involved,but the money was there.Apart from anything else,if scouting had been done properly,they would have seen what Fry was saying,Toney is like a CH,defending corners.That would have been useful.It comes down to,sell Eddy,whenever get 30 million.Sign Toney for 6,in the meantime,we are in a win,win,situation.Now.

Listening to Pater Alliss commentating on The Masters recently, I did think his voice sounded weak and his usual brand of humour was missing. A very good golfer in his day and a superb commentator afterwards..
