We might begin looking like a team on Saturday

852

I’m sure Ronny Deila has used the international break to take in as many scouting games as possible, but he’ll be keen to see his players return to Lennoxtown, fit and available for selection.

Adam Matthews spoke to Celtic media on possibly returning for Saturday’s game against Ross County.  Having not played since August he’ll be well short of match fitness but his presence is badly needed.  We have a must-win Europa League game against Astra next week, with the shape of the team looking so haphazard at the moment it’s crucial we get a benefit of a recognised right back.  Adam needs an hour on Saturday.

Now that central mid is looking solid with Brown and Johansen, the addition of Matthews and McGregor will benefit the right, while allowing Mubarak to fit into his more natural position on the left.  We might begin looking like a team.  Adam also has the engine to play the football Ronny is keen on.

The only question remains how to get our Europa League-eligible strikers looking the part – and that’s not a suggestion to drop John Guidetti on Saturday!

    Hail Hail fella.

     

    I know there are a lot of stories doing the rounds about, how Neil left.

     

    I heard that he was pissed-off at being on roughly ‘half’ of what

     

    Sleekit Sally is on?

     

    Who knows?

     

    Don’t forget…Celtic now operate in the PL- confidentiallity-clause- culture

     

    started with Bobo when Alex McLeish wanted to sign him for Birmingham.

     

    AM was on Radio Clyde news and said – “We wanted bring in Bobo but, Celtic wont allow him to leave till he signs a confidentiality-clause.”

     

    So Bobo sat in the stand for a season whilst – on the pitch, hun striker Coosan was elbowing MacManus and the ‘hied’ for fun!

     

    Ye couldny make it up.

  2. Petethebeat,

     

     

    Suarez was allowed to complete the match v Italy. They were fortunate to reach the ko stage.

     

     

    I’m not really arguing. Both were shocking incidents. But imo ls is a serial biter and deserved the bigger punishment.

    I dont ever want to see the huns lording it over us – ever!

     

    But, ye know what?

     

    I think that a lot of folk who’ve lived sheltered lives and bought

     

    a not so cheap seat to – laugh at Rangers are in for one rude awakening. imho

     

    Know what else?

     

    Maybe it’s what these Celtic snobs need to bring them onto the planet.

     

    Sad but, needed. imho

    That’s not quite correct. Their current squad as it is is losing them circa £8.5M/year (maybe more). That will not be entirely mitigated by increased prices and attendances when they get back into the Premiership.

     

     

    So you’ve got to factor in a starting point of losing up to £2-5M before adding transfer fees and increased costs associated with better quality players.

     

     

    It will certianly not be as little investment as £5-6M to be competitive with us.

  5. Kev. PL is a total joke. Indeed we had the most powerful Center half sitting in the stand while we watched poor Stephen McManus being bullied in games v the dead club by 5 foot 6 strikers

     

    Bobo had his faults and one of the was having a salary that reduced PL bonus due to high income earners at celtic park

    So I am a plant?

     

    Is that what you’re saying?

     

     

    If so, I kinda welcome that.

     

     

    Why?

     

     

    Cos I’m just a wee normal Celtic supporter who can’t help but wonder if you people ‘in the know’ really are ‘in the know’ and know loads of stuff that I don’t know……

     

     

    ….but it’s ok. I now know that you know as little as I know if you think I’m a plant!

     

     

    I’m just a mushroom. Living in the dark….you know the rest…..

    Tosh, I’m afraid ….. Personal agenda…!!??

  8. Kev Jungle you sure are one sad individual, nothing good to say about Celtic or their support – “sheep” I imagine you are the kind of guy who looks in the mirror in the morning and spits on it and mouthes a few choice words at the reflection. There again maybe you are on some meds and have forgotten to take them, in which case I apologise. Please don’t bother responding after all I’m just a sheep

    I’ll be as brief as I can here.

     

    Celtic executive operatves are, operating a scam and it involves

     

    foreign agents.

     

    No-one with any football acumen will be recruited to the executive level

     

    of the club coz, they’ll be viewed as a threat to the scam.

     

    I cant prove that charge – neither can it be disproved.

     

    But, it disny stop me smelling it.

     

    No manager who is in any way – ballsy – will be employed under PL’s watch.

     

    PL is running a club – within a club to suit him and his fellow scammers.

     

    Again, I couldnt prove it – it cant be disproved.

     

    But….something ‘bad’ is alive and kicking inside Celtic Park.

     

    It’s not Celtic without the rebellious fans from the Jungle.

     

    Celtic FC are establishment punchbags coz theres no b#lls in the club.

     

    Sad, sad, sad, sad feckin sad.

  17. To lighten the mood a little.

     

    Robert Nests Marley genius in my opinion, music with a message, not enough of it.

     

    Was at Lou Macaris testimonial, was a scorching day, ended up playing fives, ad hoc, with some Rastas, swapped Celtic stuff for Rasta hats. Wore them when we got back to Cavendish bar in Nitshill. Stupid barmaid said no football colours. I said it’s a Rasta hat, but still wouldn’t serve me. Left and had a pint in Royal Oak, no problem

  18. Stephen McManus on Shortbread ‘ we could do with scoring a last minute goal’Chick Hun ‘ particularly against Ireland……’They just can’t help themselves…

    Do you have any sources to what you suggest anything credible?

     

     

    I think its more a matter of employing people who are right for the job, football acumen? what does that even mean? to me it suggests spending money. you? So in my opinion why would he employ those people. The manager also has the football acumen and the backroom team.

     

     

    You many have a point about standing up to certain things and the club being silent, but the club isn’t a mouthpiece for you and me or anyone, the best that can be done is get on with the job in hand, why would you want Celtic to be drawn on all things?

     

     

    I genuinely think that as much as we laugh at sevco and say Craig Whyte is secretly a Celtic man tongue in cheek, many would seriously think Peter Lawell is a Rangers man getting his own back on Celtic. Mental stuff.

  20. My friends in Celtic,

     

     

    Today everything seems topsy turvy.

    I say – if yer not a puppet

     

    ye won’t get the Celtic managers job.

     

    Thats why Roy Keane looked inside the door

     

    then ran for the hills.

     

    Thats also why I’ll be astounded if Johnny Collins

     

    is appointed manger when RD f#cks it right up and

     

    he will I tell ye – he will. imho

    Kev J

     

     

    As usual on the wind up.

     

     

    Here is what I see in you: A guy who spends hours demeaning Celtic and it’s supporters, whilst stating he is not a supporter of the club. Now why the Hell would somebody waste their time like that ? You need to be motivated to waste so much of your life on CQN and swotting up on the Celtic to form your err ideas.

     

     

    What a waste of so much time. You only get one shot at life, you choose to waste a large proportion of your’s devoted to something you have no interest in. Go figure…….

     

     

    Wasting hours repeatedly targeting a club you have no interest in ! Do you go on other blogs wasting other segments of you life, or is it just Celtic you leech onto ? Why would that be ?

  23. 6 1 legia was purely down to PL

     

     

    Weeminger. Most of our squad are loan signings or a captain who will not get the same wage when his contract runs out and end of season or a CH who will be off to ensure that PL pension bonus is assured for 2015 AGM. Or duds like stokes

     

     

    I say again CL qualifying shambles was Lawell’s fault and he should be sacked , not rewarded with his biggest every bonus

     

     

    6 1. 6 1. Sack him
