Celtic didn’t hit the heights of last week’s win at Tynecastle against Inverness last night but it was a remarkably controlled win nonetheless. The game could have been over as a contest in the opening minutes but as the lead didn’t extend beyond a single goal the contest retained an edge.
Daniel Majstorovic was incorrectly penalised when he correctly challenged for the ball 25 yards from goal but the Swede’s lax initial response to the forward ball created the situation that resulted in his red card. Dan had a painful game against Inverness last season but after they were reduced to 10 men Celtic were far too composed to let Inverness’ numerical advantage count.
We’ve spoken about the value of goals from midfield in recent seasons. Kris Commons lit up Celtic’s season when he arrived in a flurry of goals last year but Joe Ledley’s efforts from the back post this season could prove to be even more important.

BT
were you the only winner in the coupon yesterday
EN was today
i had a tactic …postponed game
I post a link to a story from todays BBC website.
In effect, Bankers (including 4 current employees of RBS) have been arrested for fraud as a result of an investigation by HMRC into tax related criminal offences.
Ahem, anyone here know of any other tax fraud schemes in these parts?

Thanks, will keep my eyes open for them.
Off now to watch the 3rd season of Breaking Bad, been having a bit of cold turkey since the end of season 2 last week.

The game will be on in the club. It will be a great atmosphere. There are quite a lot of exiled Tims here because of Airbus, I think, plus a surprisingly large number of locals who love the Bhoys.
It sounds like your hotel will be on Hoole Road, where SwanseaBhoy used to live (and to be honest, the area hasn’t quite recovered yet from his and Mrs SB’s departure). You can walk to the club in 15 minutes from most of the hotels there. The club is very close to the railway station. Stay in touch and I’ll fix up to meet you nearer the time.

I’ve just left a message on my bros phone looking for information.He should get back to me time tonight.
He lives in Chester and has watched a few games at the Catholic club.
Yesterday morning many were suggesting cousin had signed for Rangers.
I asked if this was confirmed by Rangers and many posters referred to a BBC journo tweet and various other Willie McKay statements to that effect.
I was wondering if there have been any confirmations from Rangers about this signing as yet ?
If you watched the film of yesterdays match you may have seen Joe Ledley and Adam Matthews having a post match chat with Welsh internationalist Owain Tudur Jones who was a late substitute for ITC. That was the big fellow`s first appearance for over six months after a bad knee injury. He was only on for about five minutes and managed a yellow card.
Someone to watch for the rest of the season. :-)

I was at that game – Joe Craig’s finest hour.
You’re no doubt right about Bobby Lennox but I thought the ref awarded a goal-kick after Greig broke Bobby’s leg.
Blantyretim,
did you have any joy resolving the problem you were having with your holiday

Blooody helll!!! talk about BFDJ eating all the Pies
take a gander at this
Cousin ate D’archivile
I do not advocate that folk engage in these pathetic phone in shows as it just gives these imposters and ‘shock jocks’ like Keevins more power and credibility.
I do acceot that for some reason folk seem to see value in listening and incredibly some folk who are genuine celtic supporters (clever ones from on here even ! ) do phone in and try to make reasoned and sensible points. Some e en think they are winning if they do make clowns like keevins sound even more stupid and ignorant than they already do.
The truth is they only win when folk tune in and folk engage in good argument, it heightens interest and increases their rajar numbers which drives their economic engine. keevins dalzeil and the others benefit from this, and our guys will always sound biased and petty to the majority because delahunt or whoever hold all the aces and control the output.
If folk have to go on these things then at least ask the really good questions like what did murray spend it all on ? Why was he allowed to create a precedent by selling the ‘future rights’ to commercial income streams without criticism ? Why did he sell to Whyte when he always said he cared about his legacy ? Why did he gamble with the clubs future with the tax dodge ? Why did no one challenge him from the media ? Where is the great new superdome / casino / leisure centre ? etc etc etc….. At least then we are asking these agenda ridden wretches some challenging questions which the brighter orcs might actually be asking, or scared to ask ?
Much better than trying to argue about if they are entitled to be allowed to continue etc, which is something our owners will surely not seek to take the risk on.
Sorry Bhoys bit of a technophobe the last post was a link to a picture of cousin`s but not worked, he would have gave BFDJ a run for his money.
Africa Cup Final on ITV4.
Ivory Coast just edging it over Zambia in the National Anthems Contest…..
An auspicious start ?
African cup of Nations about to start…..should be a cracking final.
gordybhoy67
got it sorted thanks mate….
only problem now id the two hour transfer to and from the new resort…
team is playing well and we are winning, long may that continue, but we have won nothing and until we do win something, we cant talk about our manager being successful.
success for celtic is winning the league and competing in the champians league, that is the goals that is the measure of success.
was at celtic park, last night for a meals and today i was at the superstore, looking across the road, the new building going up is looking good as is the landscape, celtic will need to get a move on if they dont want the stadium area to look a poor relation
come on bhoys win the league and get us in the champians league, come on celtic PLC its time to get the celtic triangle started you know it makes sense

==================
much of the work will be dependent on the new road being complete first.
the landscaping is the easier part.
it will happen
no driving Gordybhoy..
I dont even drive here

from what i seen the EERR is just about complete and looking over at the veladrome, it does seems that the landscaping is being undertaken i.e. soil, tree’s, footpaths etc… which will transform the look of the area.
i was just looking at the area celtic own and little has been done to improve it
i live in hope
just looked up MAH`s pic of Cousin
is that for real
if so ……what a fat pie

Paddy,
Link lifted from a post on RTC, which I should have acknowledged.
I don’t remember reading the article at the time, but it is pretty damning.
Did I ever mention that Gibbons and I were school contemporaries at St. Augustine’s?

‘The Celtic Football Companion’ by David Docherty.
Most of the eighties are a blur to me due to alcohol. I went to every home and away game during that decade, but my memories from a lot of those games is minimal. I got a copy of this book and it’s been fantastic for recollections of games during that period. More than a few arguements sorted because of it.
It goes up to season 85-86. Is this the same one that you have or do you have an up to date version?

You are correct
But I assume you listen & you can put good Q’s together You would be better calling them.
Best of luck !

In the Evening Times last week there was an article about the council giving the go ahead to build a hotel next to the arena. On the corner of London Rd and Springfield Rd. It also mentioned some sort of retail outlets.
