What a club, what a support. Just incredible.

In time we will forget, but for much of Celtic’s 0-9 win at Tannadice earlier this season, Dundee United held their own and forced the champions off their game.  An early Kyogo goal provoked United into action.  It was Kyogo’s second, on the 40th minute, that did the damage.  Before the break it was 0-4.

That game was Jack Ross’ seventh and final game in charge and eclipsed their 0-7 reversal in Alkmaar two weeks earlier.  In the vernacular, United ‘chucked it’.  We could expect a change in attitude when, after the players got their way, they arrived at Celtic Park in November.  The visitors levelled on 87 minutes, only to be denied a point by the team that never, ever, chucks it.

Since the World Cup break, United have lost only once in six outings, a home defeat to Newco.  That run took them off the bottom of the table; they are now tied on 20 points with Kilmarnock and Motherwell, three above Ross County.

Fully rested and in great form, I expect no problems for Celtic on Sunday.  United can look back on their early season woes and comfort themselves with the fact that at least their 7-1 aggregate hammering came to the team currently second in the Dutch league, whereas another Scottish club had the same outcome over two games against the fifth-place Eredivisie side.

Paradise Pit Stop

Every now and then the Celtic FC Foundation, YOUR Foundation, does something that stops me in my tracks.  With the cost-of-living crisis having such an effect, from next week they will open the doors to Celtic Park lounges on Monday and Thursday evenings, when volunteers from the club and Foundation will serve food, provide warm shelter and facilities for kids to play and study.

Celtic cannot solve the problems of poverty, but opening their doors twice a week to provide warm food and shelter to the needy is an incredible act which reflects our founding principles.  If you are involved in this, well done.  If you can only contribute monetarily, your efforts are invaluable.

What a club, what a support.  Just incredible.

  1. Never a red card, never a penalty.

     

    Arrogance allows the establishment to cheat openly.

     

    Suck it up, there is no alternative.

  2. Who feels worse: Us at the very biased refeering in Scotland or Aberdeen supporters with these horrible results against their team?

  3. Hot Smoked

     

    Aberdeen can improve, we are stuck with the establishment referees so maybe us :(

  4. The biased refereeing could cost us and is very alarming as it is every game they play they get decisions going for them, we hammered them at Celtic Park but were on the end of several big decisions from Walsh including a penalty not awarded for a foul on Abada.

  5. Collum really is a dire referee. Utter dross. He wouldn’t be given a league 2 game in England.

  6. It is as if no one at Celtic has done anything about the cheating taking place on the pitch.

     

     

    No wonder Scottish football gets laughed at on England.

     

     

    Is this why our invisible man C.E.O was pushing for VAR so the cheating against us would get worse?

     

     

    Don’t worry though you will all have comments from paulsthroughballs88 asking why you would expect Celtic to do anything about the refs cheating

    The guy presenting Sky score updates said – Tavernier opened the scoring for Rangers from what was his 49th penalty fot the club.

  8. What does it mean if you are bald at the front?

     

     

    You are a great thinker.

     

     

    What does it mean if you are bald at the back?

     

     

    You are a great lover.

     

     

    What does it mean if you are bald at the front and the back?

     

     

    You think you are a great lover

  9. I shouldn’t be surprised about today but that was right up there after seeing those clips. After witnessing those decisions we need to push for external referees.

     

     

    Those animals are getting away with murder – on the pitch and in the stands. Be in no doubt that Beale will bring out the worst of that Scum newco club.

     

     

    Jack and Lundstram what absolutely cowardly “hardmen”, Cry Baby cnuts.

    Not sure Tom but I think that’s just the ones he’s scored. How many more has he missed.

     

     

    KEEP THE FAITH

    Good evening all from the Victoria Bar. Red card and penalty. That’s paid for my cruise 🛳 to the west indies. 🤣🤣

    Spot on mate, players get you the sack but never get the sack themselves

     

     

    *correct it was Celtic players who threw john barnes and mogga under the bus, possibly Lenny in his last iteration

  13. How long can the joke that is scottish referring be allowed to serve up such piss poor decisions before they are brought to task, they are untouchable. VAR has simply highlighted just how poor they are.

     

     

    It appears that statistical anomalies are statistical norms in the scottish premier league. I just wonder why 😳

     

     

    HH

  14. Seems Goodwin didn’t even go into the dressing room, He would probably have lamped a few of the non triers

  15. I still think Goodwin was wrong to get rid of Broonie.

     

    Whatever else he might have been he is a winner and a positive influence not seen too often in other SPL teams . Jack Ross did the same with Mulgrew. Keep them inside and use them where you can.

  16. We all heard the outburst of the Livingston manager last week.

     

     

    David Martindale to the Granite city.???

  17. With VAR coming in, things can only get better, Shirley…

    Baseball bats hidden in bins within that hate factory, Broken glass strewn across the Celtic Penalty area after coming out frae half time. This is sinister in all its intimidation.

     

     

    They have went full on 1984 – Your lying eyes.

     

     

    I despise these horrible Scottish institutions, the newco and those that facilitate them.

     

     

    I wonder if another hun ref will head to England to Referee after a scandalous Hampden performance. A new tactic?

     

     

    Collum – what can you say. Seriously why – can’t you see you are being used like an old scud magazine by the establishment. Give it up. Ingraining yourself to those that despise you, actively question you through Statements after Statements. Give it up.

    What do you call a gang of rabbits hopping backwards ?
