After the adrenaline-fuelled dramas that a return to the Champions League after five long years provided, Celtic are off to Paisley on Sunday. There will be an inevitable drop-off in in energy levels, the players are not machines, after all, as we take on an opponent with more robust objective from the game.
While Celtic have four days to recover and prepare, St Mirren will be 15 days without a game when they take on the champions. During this period, they will have been able to do some endurance training and get plenty rest before what will be a committed 90 minutes’ effort. They will not be easy to overcome.
Whatever motivational chat Ange Postecoglou gives before a game, it cannot always have the same intensity. I expect he fully animated the players for the games against Real and Shakhtar, but words overused lose their affect. Can he really whip them up for St Mirren? I doubt it, in fact, I don’t even think he should.
Our baseline performance must be substantial enough to pick the points in Paisley. The next big emotional effort is three weeks away, save the inspiration for then. One more push before the break.

Funnily enough … I have been a Greg Taylor fan, maybe I love Celts that some run down … :-)
Hope he won’t mind me saying this I met St Tams today … we have never agreed with anything online .. in real life we are much the same :-)
I was trying to get one of those Neil Lennon masks today
I still love our Neil and my love for him as player, captain & manager will never die :-)
He brought us more success than failure 🍀
BACK TO BASICS – GLASS HALF FULL on 16TH SEPTEMBER 2022 9:40 AM

BACK TO BASICS – GLASS HALF FULL
“The misguided, ignorant, young men have been so….for too long now.”
Sionnaigh – thank you for response.
Genuinely appreciate it.
Can I share a secret with you (but you have to promise not to tell anyone) ?
Once upon a time …. I was an ignorant, misguided young man. IMHO.. collective, collaborative solution lies within us all. (the “how” is more complex than the simple statement above of course).
‐‐—————————————–
Me too. There was a war on in North Ireland at the time, which focused the youthful mind to no ends.
This rebellion we’re now witnessing by the youth in our support has no such recourse.
One thing that’s not two, this episode will blow over alright. Outcome? How low will they sink next time.
I take back “scum”, that was inappropriate, like the banner.
Hello again all you young rebels.
From an absolutely rain lashed Melbourne peninsula, hope
our banners in the beer garden of our CSC pub don’t get lashed
or bashed as much as they do by the msm back in Scudland.
Phew! me and Paddy might need to swim out towards Tasmania
to get them back 🏊♂️
O.k just trying to lighten the mood.

Good man, I know your love for the club means you want to protect
the good name of Celtic, but obviously some feelings run deeper in
other parts of the Diaspora.
It takes a big man to admit he was wrong in his terminology, kudos.
Can’t wait for our big day tomorrow, really need to hear our music
maestro sing about “ Dublin in the rare old times “
Funny how a song gets to you, I probably equate it to the first time
I heard “ Dirty old town “ but then again the greatest Celt ever was
singing it. 🥰

When will some here evolve with the times
Good morning cqn from another fine sunny but chilly morning in the Garngad.
Let’s not get distracted to great start to the season as that’s what our enemy’s want. Divide and conquer.
There will be other shite after we thump St Midden tomorrow. All cameras will be on our support to see who is clapping etc. Distraction and Scottish Main Stream Media bollox.

UK is an economic basket case, a big recession on the horizon, the madness of tory economic policies
The cost of living crisis will worsen as the pound slides to its lowest against US dollar for 37 years. Why? Oil is sold in dollars so becomes more expensive. Many imported goods become more expensive as container shipping is priced in dollars. More in FT.

I am sure there were objects were thrown as well.
Probably not.
Best to go after some guys expressing their feelings with a banner.

Thanks for the news update.
I’ve actually given up watching the ‘news’ this week. Hopefully there’s no heavy handed policing tomorrow. Saw that Jeremy character talking to Michael Kelly (🙁) demanding the club condemn the support. While I didn’t want any banners etc. that is something the club should definitely not do. I doubt they will. I expect the usual several goals tomorrow.
D66 exactly. But we need to be careful not to upset those horrible dobs should they report us to the daily mail.
Keep out of sight and the cap doffed.

Don’t hold your breath. Ange was asked three questions by same stenographer yesterday, on our fans’ behaviour.
Things you won’t read in the msm
Celtic start to the league this season is better than any in its history after 6 league games …..on goal difference.
Defeat today would equal the old rangers records of 4 consecutive defeats. Which is why Aberdeen game being cancelled let them off the hook somewhat. However should it happen with Hearts and Liverpool the next 2 fixtures it would immortalize GVB squad …… not in a good way.
Not scoring today would take them to within 1 game of the old co record for not scoring in successive games.
0-11 is already worse than any 3 game run of results in the old co history.
B78 9.39am
Also …. the media seem to avoid …
“Celtic have now went over a year unbeaten domestically”
Just imagine Stevie Geee or Giovanbee had achieved that … but am pretty sure Ange doesn’t give a castlemaine xxxx (four x that is not a swear word)
BURNLEY78
Rangers couldn’t have picked a better team to get their self esteem back on track with a barrow full of goals and stands of staunchness to get them there
No doubt they’ll be going for 10 just to beat those damn fenians score…..
I don’t know if my bladder could take them dropping points……
Ps… glad the tune brought back happy thoughts.
Where is that toerag BRRB?
He netter not have led them good ole bhoys astray yesterday.
D:)
Better not netter
Morning all.
Yesterdays gathering was exactly why I love Celtic, and Celtic supporters.
Brilliant catching up with old friends and even better, making new ones.
Special thanks to Paul Hughes and his staff at the Vulcan, fantastic service.
Looking forward to the next catch up, where ever that may be.
If you have not been able to attend any gatherings previously, I thoroughly recommend attending if you can, a good time is guaranteed.

My guess would be McKinnon’s enjoying a roll ‘n skwerr. :)
BRRB was not the only one in attendance to lead the bhoys astray.
Met Blantyre Tim and Lennybhoy for the first time yesterday, fantastic guys, Blantyre Tim would be a candidate to do BRRB’s role. :)

How Sinn Féin Has “Grown Up” As A Political Party!

When will some here evolve with the times
====================================
The ‘evolving’ of SF always seems to create problems tho for democracy.
In 1918 a massive democratic landslide- ignored.
Last Irish GE biggest party – democracy unites Ireland previously opposing parties Fine Fael and fianna fail stop SF..
In the 6.re SF and the evolving democracy.
It is amazing that in my life time I have seen people gerrymandered/shunned ignored in a fascist state for a fascist people to becoming the largest elected party.
Amazing,when thought of.
The Sinn Fein hierarchy met KC3,Alex Maskey who relayed the condolence message in Irish was ejected from a stormont assembly for speaking Irish 28 years ago.
Michelle the daughter of a volunteer.yup truly amazing.
But along came racist Brexit.
Suddenly UN signified treaties are unstable and must be subject to the unions unstable racism and treatys that gave peace must be subject to protocol
Suddenly a US guarantee of peace and oversight are not enough as Brexit racism seeks to undermine not only that guarantee but the democratic will of Irish voters
Suddenly the EU,garuntors to GFA are the subject of Brexit racism.the mythical and unattainable didn’t take back control,it wants it subject to protocol and pro british will which goes against democracy in the 6 which seen the stateen have its longest sustained peace
The British gov- has regressed to total self harm which follow Brexit racism. In its rump state now as haggard Square mile service economy,it seeks

It’s a good shout regarding Edinburgh, I would certainly try to get through.

And who do you think is responsible and/or benefiting from all this? Could it be the establishment/oligarchy? And in the UK who is the face/symbol of those bastards? That would be the crown wouldn’t it? So if you want to protest about all that perhaps you would hold up a banner telling them to go F*** themselves?
