Well in the early days they played in blue.....and once a blue always a blue.

[Angusjim]

One good thing about last night it was ITV that showed game and it never wasted more TV licence payers money showing another crap game:hi:

[Isle]

With 24 hours passed the Celtic game still wheren´t good.
Next week will be a other game. Celtic at home can score
3 goals more in a game than Karagandy with a other tactic.
Hail Hail!

[junglejim]

Celtic v I C T tomorrow , 15:00 KO will be an opportunity to bed in our team for Wednesday´s task against Karagandy , important we get that right !
Not sure if Boerrigter is fit yet or Forrest has woken up to his abysmal performances this year - we need wingers to stretch the team and possibly game time for Balde to get into some form .
Nice to see the Green Brigade will be back in their usual slot after discussions with the Board - I wonder if the MSM will give this a full page splash just like they did for their threatened removal ?-Nah didn´t think so!
Also good to see our provincial lookers-in contributing to thread Davie and AJ( The new Formantine supporter ),nice football being played at Firhill Davy ,keep it up !

Signing off now for my wee trip to Crete hope you fair better this week than you have in recent games I will be thinking of you:c2::wink:

PS Sean my young lad if over in Tenerife at the moment I told him to call in to see you and buy you a beer enjoy

[seanocelt]

have a good hol AJ

[timmylish]

I,ve now got IRE. Vpn so can now watch Irish tv! Woo Hoo.
Is it worthwhile watching the game on RTE 2 to-night. Coverage I mean or will they do my head in?

Depends on who they have on the panel.
Giles I cannot stand!....he's always having a go....might be something to do with the lions humping Leeds in 70.
Kenny Cunningham sometimes is on the panel and he would be a Celtic man.
The man who actually commentates the match,George Hamilton,has a wee soft spot for the hoops as well.
Sometimes the beast Souness makes an appearance.

[junglejim]

Nerves on Jangle now ,just about to get songs on in Rover and hope for a performance !
Nir Biton signed , Finnbogason still could be an option later so we will wait and see !

Hail Hail !

[CaribeCelt]

Yesssss!
What a night!
Champions league football returns to CP.....that's what matters.
I'm away for a few drinks.
Wee Forrest came good Seano!:D

[seanocelt]

He took a right sore knock too Barry just before, was lookin to be subbed, (prob be out for ages now !) but popped up when Stokes, who did a right Maradonna-esque run at them , looked for a poacher. The option to run right at them stared us in the face all night too, but anyway, Neil, against all odds, did it yet again. None more pleased than me. HH.

[junglejim]

Wow ! Another nail-biting , heart attack performance from the Celtic Team ! i was screaming abuse at Forrest and his performance most of the night and then he pops up after Stokes´s brilliant dribble to plant it in the net - amazing !
According to Patullo in the Scotsman, his initial headline was that we had "Sneaked" into CL and Forrest had " bundled " the ball over the line - severe hurt from the press again , Keevins,Jackson all giving negative stories ,really hurting !

http://www.101greatgoals.com/goals/champions-league/celtic-v-shakhter-karagandy-live-video-updates/

Great performances all round and a well deserved result ,making up for last week - now for draw at 4 pm !

As you say - we´re in it, let´s enjoy it- "Having a Party in the Champions League!"

[seanocelt]

wouldnt go to any match in Milan, but the Dam would appeal, sadly it will appeal more to the eejits in our travelling support, expect carnage and divorces.


Oh, and that 3rd goal, them kids Stokes and Forest? Always liked them laddies ;-))

Yes that´s the goal Patullo said was bundled in !

[seanocelt]

Did i also hear Samaras' equaliser , on the allegation he stopped a bye kick bound shot described as " afortunado". Sounded Greek but. Paranoid? Me? Naw.
What's with the Billy McNeil being " unfit to open a ball" stuff, give the guy a break?

Also, mid rant, i recall NL saying the ITV 4 playback was " anti Celtic" in the 1st leg. . I texted my wife to say i had to turn the sound off 2nd half away leg; she told me she wanted to too, but wasnt allowed. THEN i noted tonight (after NL reminding people of the infamous comment on ITV of us being out last season before a ball was kicked ), an " expert " on the BBC sight saying " Celtic are dead, will not win a point". What NL said about internet experts is spot on and will just get worse. Who would be a Celtic manager nowadays?

[junglejim]

The Huns are really are hurting after yesterday´s draw!
Bet they wish they had been in the draw too !
Seeing us getting Morton must have been hard to take !

Seany, you are absolutely dead right, I was bricking it, fearing Celtic would be in City's group.

Best of luck to the Hoops.

[Isle]

Miss the last 3 Celtic games because a little break. Great to be in the Champions League for the Hoops.
Wanted Celtic in the Dortmund group so much, for party reason, but sadly it didn´t happen.

Tough group for Celtic in the CL.

[Davie Thistle]

.............£20.000.000!:crazy:

ach well, at least some filtered thru to the rest of us plebs!

We All get about £100.000 for sellik gettin into Europe!!:eyebrows:

You should get in for Gauld & young Soutar at Utd bids are in from Sunderland don't miss out !! John Soutar's younger brother is already at Celtic Harry Soutar under 14's below from Celtic's Website
"Harry has been with us since 2007 and is a tall centre back. He has been unlucky to have missed a good part of this season through injury"

[junglejim]

He has been noticed AJ but we have a load of kids and having to put them out on loan -Jackson Irvine to Killie , Watt to Lierse etc -600k is a bit steep for a kid !

[Angusjim]

I thought Mulgrew and Broony were very good last night for Scotland but jury still out on Forrest

[CaribeCelt]

Scotland were up against a classy outfit and played well at times.
A tenner each way on Belgium in the WC...I've threw money away on worse:D

Some of the tackles were quite beefy -Bobo's tackle on Pires was severe, Pires never went near him again!

So Bobo's tackle was severe but Gunning is a Brute could have been written in the Sun:wink:

[junglejim]

Bobo´s tackle on Pires was fair but hefty for a charity friendly - Gunning is a clogger having just come back from suspension for similiar offences - the guy was kicking everything , Bobo is not a Ginger either !

I just cannot understand the expression of surprise in some parts of the Scottish media at the level of support for this event. I have never known the Celtic support not to put their hands in their pockets whenever asked to do so, no matter the name of the party involved. Seems to have been a great day for all involved. Lovely lad is Stan. Well deserved.

Didn´t sawn the hole game. Stokes where really great with the goal and the setup for Pukki.
Now I´m looking forward what Celtic do in Milan. A point would be brilliant. Hail Hail!

[junglejim]

Overall a good performance yesterday with only Ledley below form - excellent work from Stokes throughout game and a Bonus for Pukki getting a set-up -Milan will be a tough ask having never won in Italy , let´s see what we do on Wednesday !

[junglejim]

Well it´s Champions´League again tonight with AC Milan in the San Siro , so we will have to be on our best form - especially at the back !
Couple of injuries will hamper us with Forrest and possibly Ledley out .
Neil has to choose his forwards from the in-form Stokes ,Sammy and Pukki , my guess is it will be Sammy and Pukki and Boerrigter on the right.Defensively I hope Virgil and Efe keep up their partnership with Lustig Matthews and Broony .
Last night´s results show how some teams have been outclassed by the big guns -I hope we don´t end up the same !
Hail !Hail!

An away goal is a must.

[Angusjim]

An away goal is a must.

Does away goal matter I thought it was a league setup ? it would matter if they did not score more than 1:pray:

[junglejim]

No goals only in count in respect of points and magnitude of win in case of equal points at end of this group stage it is head to head result .
Extra prize money for a win or draw ,nothing for loss -only gate money at home and share of TV pot - should guarantee 15 million .
Just don´t want heavy defeats !

Sorry Jim, I get confused sometimes but an away goal is always good psychologically, especially against Italian teams who generally are good defensively.

[timmylish]

I think that yet again pace was the no.1 ingredient for success last night. I think for the first time in years we might just have a bit of pace thru' the whole team (well except for Lurch!) and speaking of him I hope he does not instill nervousness around the penalty area. Oh and shoot on sight, as wee Ginger was adamant last night. We,ve got at least 5 players who can strike the ball from 25/30 yards, with real pace (again) and on target!
So what,ll it be? So long as we don,t give away a penalty/free kicks around the penalty area and the likes of Pukki/Georgio can hold the ball up we might just have a chance to come away with at least one point. Whatever! What was the song? Que sera, sera. Hail.Hail.

[CaribeCelt]

Didn't deserve to lose that game.
Team was set out well and a deflection and a moment of silliness from our captain cost us that game.
Gallant losers again:angry:

Hail,Hail.

[timmylish]

As a very astute writer has said after this game "This is a very good Celtic team" so don,t let anyone suggest otherwise. This time we were done by the lack of reall spending in the window. A quality forward player bought early in the break, given ample time to settle in and we would have won that game to-night. But, we didn,t and we didn,t also!

I was watching Dortmund. At ht I was satisfied with the result. Even deep
in the second half we had a goal stream on. On the stats side( BBC) Milan got
more shots. Milan use 2 chances. Celtic fail to use the chances.
Positively is to keep the 0:0 for so long. It hadn´t to be. Hail Hail!

Celtic v St Johnstone today on Celtic.tv - Forrest stillout with other issues and getting quite concerned over his health .
An opportunity to bring out Biton ,Pukki and Boerrigter at start and perhaps a couple of others on the fringe .
Still getting over Wednesday´s "mugging" after a decent performance but we will have to make and take more chances at this level to progress !
Elsewhere Canaryboy will be looking forward to Hooper making his return to team after long injury to help pull his team out of the bottom 6 "group of death "
Forfar prepare their Bridies and plastic pitch for their match against the world´s most successful team in a part-time league - The Easdales continue their scooping up of shares and control of the Company/Club prior to their first (and only?) AGM , but only if they get their audited accounts in on time (Epic fail last week!)

Literally a game of 2 halves ! Excellent pacey football first half with 2-0 lead not reflecting superiority then slid into almost Torpor in 2nd half and hanging on at end - referee was a bit of a pumkin a few times ,pulling us up for not taking free kicks at correct position but allowing Saints to do just that several times !
We now have the Easdales "Other Team " Morton in the League Cup on Tuesday on Celtic TV so expect a few fringe players to appear from start .

Tony Watt , loaned out to Lierse in Belgian League called lazy and unfit by manager scores on his debut after 90 seconds ! Hopefully he will learn and improve his attitude!

I agree with your thoughts on the game but disagree with your comments about the referee but what would the world be like if we all had the same views:)

[junglejim]

Not opinion AJ , FACTS! 3 times he pulled up the Tic for playing ball from "wrong " spot and at least twice he allowed saints to play ball immediately from yards away!

[Angusjim]

Proof if proof is needed that Celtic do not have the depth in the squad getting beat fae Eastdale utd :crazy: and Lennon says he is not going to blame the players he needs to get a grip so who's fault was it:dontknow:

[junglejim]

No real excuses last night - Morton came and parked the Easdale Bus literally -hardly a shot on target for them and a risible penalty award !
Fair play to them for winning , we miserably failed to convert our dominance , 25 corners and umpteen good chances,so we deserved our medicine - the players know who is to blame and I think from Neil Lennon´s comments some of them won´t be in the first team again for a long time .
I´d rather he put out some of the young ones in this competition , at least we´d have an excuse - last night there wasn´t one !
Barcelona next week!- think I´ll be behind the couch for that one !

Fair play to them....they had a plan to steal a goal and park the bus and it worked.
We have done it against the big boys in the CL so I don't begrudge Morton their night.
Well Done.

I think they should have bought Finnbogason JJ and I like Hooper a lot, he will do well in the EPL.

By the way when I typed JJ, it reminded me of this song I love.

That diddy cup haunts us, couldnt do much more, not our night. So, Scottish football IS healthy, we DO have competition and someone will have a cup final to look forwaard to. All is well. A rangers/Sevco/whitever woman was saying that last nigt "cannny even sell seats for a cup tie"- had to remind her pre crisis at Ibrokes, they couldnt fill their place on Euro nights.

Good luck to the Celtic tonight I hope you can do Scotland proud :scotland::scotland::c2::c2::c2::c2::c2::c2:

[junglejim]

Anticipation building now, hoping for a good performance and at least a draw! Not much to ask for is it?

With a few Barca regulars out we might get a sneak at goal , just hope we take any chances that come our way !

Sevco results out - they're facing Armaggedon and we're facing Barcelona- what's not to like !

[Fivepence]

Mon the Hoops........KTF

[Angusjim]

Broony let you doon last night what a silly thing to do although the guy did make the most of it. It was a very very silly thing to do especially right in front of the ref and probably cost them at least a draw

[Fivepence]

The bhoys played great last night and even when down to 10 men they deserved a draw.
Sammy was fantastic in my opinion, best player on the field although Forster had good game.

Win,lose or draw COYBIG......HH

[Isle]

Just sawn some highlights from the game. It is no shame to lose to that Barcelona side
for Celtic. I notice 2 good chances for Celtic even with a man down. It hadn´t to be.
Celtic should concentrated on playing Ajax and Milan now in the CL. Hail Hail!

[Fivepence]

Read this morning that Barca are interested in our goalie.....................aw jeysus no! :nono:

[timmylish]

Read this morning that Barca are interested in our goalie.....................aw jeysus no! :nono:


For sure I would hope that the England selectors would concentrate their deliberations on making our goalie first choice for their next 'National in view of the continued howlers Joe Hart is making. By going to Barca he is unlikely to be their no.1 so his chances of getting England first choice would drop.
Anyway, he,s going nowhere whilst Lennon is our manager giving a time line of December, 2014 at the earliest.

Here you are Davy Thistle , something for us all to contribute to next week !

Hibs v Celtic at Easter Road today , looks like an interesting tie with Hibs form improving and Celtic with a problem at right back to fill .
Need to pick a team that can play against Ajax next week, with Brown suspended and Matthews and Lustig injured , we have a gaping void on RHS to fill ! Forrest and McGeoch look likely with Ambrose at RB which will drag Mulgrew into central position with Big Van Dijk , don't know if Ledley and Kayal are fit yet and Sick Note Boerigter still not fully fit .
We have Rogic, Biton still to prove their worth on the sidelines so lots of puzzles for Neil Lennon to solve !

[Davie Thistle]

.........well there ye go peeps!
a wee favour done for youze!
the Real Thistle humped that false thistle 2.1!

a wee favour from you lot next week 26th!
I'll settle for a draw thanx M8's!!
8-)

[junglejim]

Hi Davie - a good result for you, especially away from home, and not before time !
I'm sure we'll suffer from our post-European downturn and that;ll give you all the favours you need but I would be wary after the Hibbies result at the weekend and the backlash on Neil from tits like Vine !
Tomorrow;s game against Ajax is more pressing at the moment with a reduced team we'll see - I might miss it as my daughter's delivery date has been brought forward to tomorrow , so I asked her to be quick , her reply was unprintable (it will be a section ) but I will have a lovely new grandaughter at the end of the day , so I can't lose!

[Angusjim]

The result was the most important thing last night, but not a vintage performance, did Sammy have his boots on the wrong feet last night:lol:

JJ hope everything went well yesterday:)

[junglejim]

Hi AJ , yes thanks ,a new grandaughter Lucy and a Celtic CL victory - a Carlsberg day !(More like Guinness !)
We actually got some luck going our way . good effort and deserved result for our efforts , now to sort out Davie's Maryhill Magyars on Sunday !

Another £750K tucked away for winning !
AJ hope to be there early December depending on family!

[Isle]

Great result for Celtic. Ajax had more possession but that doesn´t mean anything.
Now the race for Rank 3 is open up for Celtic. Hail Hail!

[junglejim]

Rank 3 Isle ?? We're going for 2nd place!!
Good luck to you too !

[Isle]

JJ Celtic playing for Rank2 would be great. The away game in Amsterdam will be very tough.
After that we can talk again. Last season Celtic had this 3 bonus points vs Barca
which made Celtic reach Rank2.

[junglejim]

Well Davie Thistle - it;s the Big Derby Day and my nerves are tingling with excitement !
We haven't had a decent one for ages so I hope it's a good game - Firhill for Thrills as they say , let's see how it goes !

coming over to Costa Adeje in December just before the Barca game and looking for somewhere to watch it

[junglejim]

welcome to Forum !
Irish Rover in San Eugenio will be showing game , Hoops. Bar in Los Cristianos .
Whereabouts are you staying , Costa Adeje is a big area!

[darrinp]

we are staying in the Be Live.
i was at the hoops last year and i will be going back again, was looking for something nearer the hotel for the Barca game

[junglejim]

Be live La Niña ?
If so go up the hilland turn left at St Eugen's , Irish Rover is 150 yds along road , much cheaper than the Irish a Fiddler !

[darrinp]

yes it is the Be Live La Nina, thats good looking at the fixtures there is 4 games while i am over so i will probably be going to the irish rover and maybe a wee visit to the hoops
thanks a again

[junglejim]

Escaped with a draw after failing to cash in on early opportunities and some good goalkeeping from Utd.
Again team prepared to play football against us , good to see !
Now the nail biting starts again against Ajax on Wednesday , crucial we get something from game and hopefully no crowd issues .
Canary Boy you must be despondent after that result , I just hope Hooper isn't regretting moving to the relegation zone for what's turning out to be no chance of an England cap in that team !

[Angusjim]

BRING ON THE CELTIC be afraid be very afraid for Tuesday's cup draw:c2::c2::crazy:

Saw the game. Celtic got more possession, but didn´t creating that much chances.
Its good to get a point in the end. Now the game in Amsterdam is ahead for
Celtic. Its a very tough fixture.

[junglejim]

Brechin, Forfar , Bully Wee, Auchinleck my boots are quaking AJ!

[seanocelt]

The cup draw is a nice build up for Weds, the anxiety " will we draw Sevco?/ will Sevco exist by the time the tie is played.?" I actually hope Aberdeen draw them at home, bound to be mental.

Ajax game for me is bigger than any of the previous CL matches of the past, we have pulled ourselves off the floor and have a right good shout at another last 16 (gotta turn up and do it but). I note Milan gubbed again yesterday.

[Angusjim]

Brechin, Forfar , Bully Wee, Auchinleck my boots are quaking AJ!

Breathe easy JJ you avoided the Hedge and got any easy tie against the Jambos ( if they are still around ) we got another Angus derby but at least at home this time:c2::c2:

Good luck against Ajax :tiphat:

cant wait to watch the game tomorrow, hopefully 3 points but it is going to be another very hard game.

[junglejim]

Anything from Amsterdam game will be a bonus and give us a good shout against Milan , will be in Irvine Celtic Club to watch it but back over in Tenerife next week !
Get yourself down to Irish Rover for game and some cheap drink!!

[Isle]

from what I read Celtic didn´t made a good game. Just two shots over 90 minutes
is too less to take a point from Amsterdam. Apart from van Dijk and Forster
the other players didn´t perform at their best level. The direct competition with
Ajax is sadly lost now. Now even a victory versus Milan could be not enough to
get Rank 3.

[junglejim]

Very poor performance from forwards last nigh and game overshadowed by violence outside - as expected !

[Isle]

a game in the Highlands for Celtic is on the list.
Ross County is the opponent. I´m sure the Celtic
players want to show a reaction.

by the way; whats up with Caribe Celt? I can´t see him
post here for a while.

[junglejim]

I think a few changes for tomorrow may happen , Sammy has a knee swelling so is out , want to see Boerrigter start and Balde and Pukki get a run and young Fisher at RB .
Some of our midfield lacking in match fitness so should get start - Commons & Ledley .
Caribe is about just not posting , like Seano too !

God Bless ye JJ , keeping this thread alive , the forum is clinging to life and i admit i forget now and then , to look in;

no pleasure in bringing this back up; " turn up"..? Carribe ? he cannae even turn up for a pint! We have a limited wee squad who sometimes spring surprises, Milan hopefully next, looked at Europa standings last night, happy to go in with any of that lot ( teams not polis ). Sevilla/Betis? why not?

[junglejim]

Hi Seano! Back over to Tenerife on Monday , new grandaughter safely delivered and tucked up nicely , time to get back to fantasy island !
Yes the Forum is definitely sliding down a slippy slope , shame !
At least we have KDS!!

lets hope for a win against aberdeen before we play milan. still all to play for in europe . the performance against ajax was terrible and that is being polite about it. still a have to keep the faith the we can stay in europe after xmas.

Forrest, Mouyokolo and Matthews will be missing todays game vs
Aberdeen according to the bbc site. Celtic should win this game
and be prepared for the Milan game after it. Hail Hail!

[junglejim]

Aberdeen at home today for what should be a tight game ,as Isle says a couple of long term injuries out and Forrest being possibly held back for Milan game in Champions´League critical must-win game .
I would expect to see Boerrigter get a run and Fisher at RB with Kayal and Ledley in middle -Pukki and Stoke need to play together more to get used to their styles .
Game will be on Celtic TV in Irish Rover as not on Satellite so hopefully extending our unbeaten run in League !
Meanwhile AJ are The Red Lichties ready for their Zombie invasion on Monday night ,Smokies at the ready to kill the stench of Sevco ?

[Angusjim]

JJ they deserve each other both are aye greetin aboot something:nono:

[Isle]

3:1 for Celtic vs Aberdeen sounds good. I notice that Celtic scored two late goals.
11:4 shots on goal, it looks like a deserved victory.

[Angusjim]

Well JJ bottom line is Celtic are just not good enough for Champion League football it was painful watching them, do you fear that Lenny may be looking to move on as he probably cannot see how its going to get any better. Don't think winning the Scottish Premier league etc is going to motivate him if he has any ambitions at all. Whit's a these banners aboot ??

[junglejim]

Hi AJ! Paid the price in Europe for not investing in a decent class of striker-enough chances were madein allof our games ,just no one capable of putting them away , we seem to be happy as a Board to reap the benefits of Group money but not to invest on the chance that we make it beyond Group stage .
Lenny is going nowhere soon , where would he go and get CL involvement ?
The press are pushing the " Terrorist" angle of the banner when they do not want to write about the underlying real issue of the new Act on Offensive behaviour passed by the SNP - it´s Ok to sing about ex freedom fighters like Wallace,Mandela and use it for political slogans but not if you are of Irish or Catholic descent - even the Queen laid a wreath in Dublin to the BOTOB!!
It´s Ok to put Political adverts for SNP & Labour on at football grounds but not make other political statements? -crass hypocricy from SFA and Lawwell !
Why do we have politicians presenting trophies ?
See AJ , you´ve got me started again!

[Angusjim]

You were needing to get that aff yer chest:eyebrows:

[seanocelt]

Concisely put as always JJ. AJ, banners and Lenny aside, we were just a few headers/tap ins away from beating Milan away and Barca at Celtic Park, investment in a striker would have paid back big time, but none available at our budget. its a catch 22,but one we will live with another couple of seasons, lets see what competition emerges in the SPFL ;- )

[junglejim]

Happy Bithday Seano !!

Hi AJ, not as much as the Scottish Media desparately needed a bad news story about Celtic - no mention of the Paedo comments at the Sevco Supporters´ Forum last night yet, but they can stir it up on Lawwell´s comment ?

Hearts in the cup with a team that will have a couple of changes from midweek CL team - Brown willbe back with probably Ledley in middle and Stokes upfront - Forrest might be on bench with Pukki and Balde .
A chance to take out our frustration on a young Jambos Club teetering on the edge of Administration (or is it Company?) , a convincing victory is needed to satisfy the support in this one -the draw is on Monday for next round !

Totally outclassed on the night Isle , lack of commitment was the biggest disappointment for me (and most of support!) ,Barcelona were excellent but we gave up !
We have to focus on domestic performance and see what transpires in January transfer window .
Not happy with Uefa fining us €50K for psuedo political banner whilst forcing every one of this week´s ties to display a Political Banner for Nelson Mandela (RIP) , hypocrisy at its best !

I hope Niel Lennon can revive the team as well as renew it in January !

[seanocelt]

Once the AGM doon the road produces a few laughs the mood will lighten, lot of folk mourning the GB but more saying good riddance so i hope a new moderate fan group keeps the atmosphere alive. Pity all this but, another chance to amp up the " we need Rangers" for those who believe it.

[junglejim]

A good article in The Herald today from a "GB" member - a lot of dissent over some incidents at game yesterday ,with Stewards being over the top.
It will settle down eventually , the main issue will be how the team progresses from now on .
As for the Govan Comedy Show , I hope Mr Custard shows up at the AGM to cast his votes and cheer them up , they are slowly disintegrating amongst all the in-fighting - a wonderful early Christmas present!!

[seanocelt]

I dunno JJ, rules will be bent to save "the people" no matter what. Spivco= restrained spending, Brogueco= off the radar investment by invisible men, but no matter what, they still have their pals in the SFA, even now incredibly.

[boredinscotland]

Is the AGM for the holding company, football club or some other one that suits? also waiting on Ally having new friends he says he will support, Santa Claus is near so maybe him that fans have to back next, I have gave up on this CON that started with Murray and carried on with White and SPL

Hooper will have to be on fire to turn his head and achieve his ambition , hope he does !

We have a "Decimated Hearts Youth Team " to play against today according to media (getting their excuses in early ) , unlike the Zombies playing part time plumbers, posties , chippies and guys just back from International Duty on Nightshift at Iceland !
Their AGM is over with the Spivs succeeding at getting another year to feed at the Trough of Dignity with Super Salary at the front !
I'm sure, weather permitting ,we will win comfortably as long as we have the right players on the field !

Morning AJ , it'll be alright as the Polis usually stop and search the Buses at Cumbernauld for "Cargo" i.e. drink ,so they'll remind them where to go and what songs to sing!!
An excellent use of resources with several murder hunts and missing persons going on at the moment - a wonderful new law to keep House's budget for Police Scotland intact!!

JJ I thought you were over the paranoia thing, do they they no stop any other supporter buses just Celtic. Any way WTF was going on at Celtic phoning Inverness Caley:doh: to discuss arrangements for the St Johnstone game you could not write the script:crylaughing:

On a rare moment of clarity of mind I wondered what the consensus of opinion is with Tims viz a viz the voting next year. Although I would have imagined that a Yes vote would have been the vote of normal, left wing Labour supporters. However, as has been clearly witnessed this year Celtic supporters have had a difficult time with "the Establishment as represented by the Polis" and I cannot but see that worsening under an "Independent Scotland", jobs a Bankers not being available to Tims, and the like. Am I wrong as having lived ex UK for near to 25 years I don,t have feedback to enlighten me. On the NO vote winning at least the Polis in Scotland would, to some degree be Policed by Whitehall where we do and can have a foot in the doorway, if you follow my train of thought. I don,t wish to start a Political debate on this Celtic thread but some responses would help me advise and support my offshoots who will definitely be remaining in Scotland under whichever regime takes hold.

[seanocelt]

I think you are on the money TL. Polis, courts, jobs and general " who ye know" crap that has plagued our country forever, it will only worsen. I canae vote anyway, registered in N. Ireland, as a Shinner at the moment!

[timmylish]

Sean. Many thanks for replying. I,m the same in that I am not registered in Scotland (or in fact the UK) so can you persuade as many Scots on this Forum to respond to my enquiry, please. Meantime, as before, all the best for the upcoming non-event!

[junglejim]

I thought I posted yesterday but seems to have not registered , so I'll try again!
Looking at some of the Celtic boards there is a fair mixture of pro and con with SNP supporters pushing the Agenda , the Offensive Communication act and it's application by House's Stormtroopers on Celtic Supporters has helped to polarise the NO vote as an example of what House and Christine Graham ( anti catholic by her own words) are capable of in President Salmond's "Utopia" .
The Herald continuing poll suggests a fairly comfortable NO vote .

http://www.heraldscotland.com/politics

The Dark Side will mainly vote for the Union and the Fleg so looks like a no-brainer .
Personally I have yet to be convinced of any long-term benefit from a Yes vote from the evidence that is being published , we will wait and see !

[timmylish]

JJ Thank you so much for your response which offers me some clarity. If it were up to me I would push for a resounding NO! Never trusted the SNP even as far back as the CND cranks and seeing a fat figure of a leader who reminds me of Hunnish things! Sorry but there you are.

[junglejim]

Timmy the Dark Sides informed debate - strong language !
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pmGjiokfQ2A

I have a RC cousin who is strongly in favour of a YES vote and campaigns strongly!

[Angusjim]

From a teuchtars point of view does it matter if we are governed from London or Edinburgh not really, because neither have any interest in Tuechtar land ( apart from Aberdeen that they do need ) but personally I will vote NO because I do not see how the SNP figures add up and the thought of the Glasgow / West coast based communist / socialist comrades grabbing control at the 1st election really scares me. I will gladly give my kids money to leave Scotland and have a fresh start elsewhere if the worst happens and there is a yes vote.

[junglejim]

Hi AJ , relax yer money is safe ! I don't think communism/socialism was restricted to the West Coast Weegies when you consider, for example ,the amount of miners in the Fife Area , Dundee for me was always a strong area too . I have never been a member of any political party, though have friends and family in all the main facets of political spectrum .
The main debate will start after the New Year with all sorts of claims and promises (being politicians that's what they do ) but no absolutes !
There is a Shetlander who owns the Cobra Bar in San Eugenio ,she makes it quite plain that as far as Shetland goes , it's their Oil ,and they retain a significant amount of the Revenue for the local good - tf only the rest of Scotland could have done the same there might have been a chance !

An interesting article from earlier in the year that cost Mary Lockhart her position in her party !

http://www.scotsman.com/news/socialism-will-work-better-in-independent-scotland-1-2903981

[seanocelt]

AJ- i have said this forever, heart says aye, heid says naw, we cant afford it. Short term personal gain for some, would cost many in long term after we are deid. Not gonna happen, i dont think anyway.

[timmylish]

JJ> The video has to be close to the very worst covering a lower div. club and their supporters which I have seen this year. Based on the rather idiotic ramblings to take their advice and go to Wales although he appears to support England,I frankly had some difficulty understanding the views being expressed.
What worries me slightly is that you all see the NO vote as a certainty. Hate that even although I would think a NO vote is the most sensible. Can I ask a further question please. The vote taken is a NO. How long is that for, are there further elections every 5 or 10 years etc. so that the population can change their minds or is that it, for ever and everything stays as it is?

[junglejim]

I don't see the NO vote as a certainty Timmy , it's just the polls say that and looking at the press at the moment the YES vote isn't putting forward very good arguments or facts .
Don't think you or I or AJ will ever see another referendum if it's a NO vote Timmy , with a bit of luck we won't see Sevco winning the top league either ! LOL
Very dull performance yesterday after a great start , poor forward play failing to take chances !
Big Davy Thistle must be quaking in his boots for the Ne'erday local derby after their thumping yesterday , we'll hopefully up our game to keep our noisy neighbours in place!
You there Davy ??

As a Scot who lives in Scotland in my opinion we would not do better without England and certainly not with Alex Salmond / SNP who has plenty plans to spend money but not so much idea how he is going to pay for all the spending

Essentially if you are on the voters role in Scotland - the guideline says -
"Essentially, everyone over the age of 16 who lives in Scotland"
So even immigrants who come in and get on the voters' role get a vote ! :wow::mad:

[Davie Thistle]

........wot you need to mind is,
if you don't vote YES,
your voting for more of the same old same old crap we have now.
a no Vote means a tory vote.

also you gotta mind youre NOT voting for the snp,

your voting for an independant Scotland, get that first ,THEN vote your fav party in.

At least that's wot I understand wot it's all about!! :pray:

Not damage limitation!

oh aye,
A HAPPY NEW YEAR

[timmylish]

Well, I would like to close this year (for myself) in thanking you for all of your clear unambiguous answers to my many questions.
Finally, I have to restrict my final comments to my many co-Tims everywhere. Thank you for continuing supporting the Celts in everything they have done and achieved this last year. We are truly privileged in being off the Celtic Family not only in footballing terms but the very many, unmentioned acts of charity, mainly ones created to help children all over the World, building schools in Africa, running a children,s home in Thailand, known the world over just because of a Celtic supporter, starting with no money but ending up with donations from nearly every single supporter going thru' the turnstiles on 2 Saturdays a couple of years ago and ending up with a music recording known to the ears of most people in Europe and further. Somewhat reminiscent of our beginnings as a charitable institution which will continue for as long as there are ordinary Celtic Supporters.
To all of you responsible I wish you a truly Happy New Year. HAIL.HAIL.

[junglejim]

Hi Timmy, DavieT hope you had a good night and a stinking headache !
I'm hoping to start my drinking today watching our Big Local Derby in Local CSC Club as the weather is forecast to be rather wet and windy (Surprise!!) , and no Public Transport so would be a nightmare getting to game.
Nice comments Timmy about the Social Side of Club (The Supporters) , just a pity last week The Club Corporate couldn't bring themselves to help and support the Food Bank Initiative that was run outside by the GB last week (Organised weeks before the issues ), they were quick enough to jump on the Barca Display for their own commercial purposes and Lawwell's coffers !
Don't know about damage limitation Davy , the way we're playing you might have to go easy on US!!
Not sure about your YES vote Davie , comparing our Services to Englandshire we seem to have a better deal , our crap feels better than theirs IMO !
Anyways , enjoy the celebrations and hope for a good game today!

[Isle]

Celtic managed to score in every league game 2013. To me the Champions League results in the second half
of 2013 where a setback to earth, even after the loss of two important players as Hooper and Wanyama
where for Celtic. The next game will be on my birthday tomorrow. St Mirren away.
I´m sure the Celtic Team will be champion in may, again.
The charity of the Celtic Fans is unique in my opinion: Great Supporters.
Hail Hail!

[junglejim]

Hi Isle have a great Birthday (Geburstag ?) tomorrow !
We visit the Paisley Buddies tomorrow for their 90 minutes of Booing our Team , hope for a change from 1-0 result and maybe a few goals before our long break and Turkey Stuffing!
Nice to see the MSM publicising all the other violence, smoke bombs , flares and seat assaults at the other Scottish Games this week , just like they did with us ! Not to mention the on field antics too , nice balanced reporting!
Good effort the other day Davie with Thistle , deserved to get more out of game- should have taken their chances in first half, good support came along too !
Anyways have a good New Year everyone , off to Tenerife on Monday to hunt AJ down and find out how Forfar gubbed Brechin 5-1 !!

[seanocelt]

let me know when you re meeting AJ , please JJ. Will try to pop over. Seanocelt J!

Haven't actually arranged anything Sean , believe he's staying in Torviscas , should be there now ...?

[seanocelt]

Less than an hour after i posted that he turned up at the Whiskey Jar, with his wife, both sang well too at the end on karaoke!

[junglejim]

Well a 4-0 stuffing and good 2nd half display certainly helped to overcome the Boo-Fest that is St Mirren .
Commons on fire and just as well with a slightly shakey Celtic defence , though I think Foster managed to finish his Sunday Mail Crossword .
Paisley on a rainy day , how depressing!

JJ thanks for the birthday wishes. You`re right the german word is Geburtstag. Haven´t sawn
the Celtic game today, but the result sounds really good to me. Hail Hail!

In the light of an unbelievable response in the major Celtic boards and forums I,d like to advise Celtic supporters of the death of my Father, this morning in a hospital in Edinburgh. Aged 92 yrs and still having gone to games up until the recent game in Motherwell when he finally accepted that it was too dangerous to continuing going to games. Having reached that decision I knew that he would pass away in a short period as Celtic was his only, and I do mean only, interest in life. So, since that game he just went downhill rapidly, was admitted to hospital just before Xmas with him passing away this morning, peacefully but incredibly ill. In his life he watched EVERY Celtic team put out by Every Celtic manager, incl. the war years. Don,t think that would be beaten by any supporter!

Hey Neil If you do come bring all those seats there not using there just the right colour and they will go nicely in our new top tier:lol:

[junglejim]

Ha ha , Canary Bhoy , you got Hooper in. The summer when it was obvious he wanted to try his luck down sarf, sadly it hasn't worked out for him ( or Wolfswinkel) I hope he stays clear of the relegation zone !
The difference is Lenny doesn't want to move at the moment as he's waiting on the Zombies to arrive , though it might be a long time , so he can whisper sweet nothings in Sally's shell !
Anyways we've got Hibbees next Sunday and a freezer to fill with Jelly & Ice Cream in preparation for an Anniversary Event as Valentine's/administration/Grandson's Birthday approaches - so much to celebrate , so little Jelly available!

[Isle]

Saw the highlights of the game earlier. Good Victory for Celtic. Hail Hail!

[timmylish]

CB. I closely watched your mob on Saturday, just to get my opinion on their chances of staying in the EPL. Unless someone tells the players to start playing with Hoops and not just let him play up to his own devices I can honestly see Norwich go down in the last couple of weeks of this season as I can see them losing all 6 games in April/May. Now before then they play all the teams nearer to themselves and they must use Hoops ability in the scoring goals lark. Watching that game on Saturday the lad was having to drop back to the centre circle just to get on the ball and, when he did, he made more use of the ball than the rest put to-gether.

[canary boy]

Timmylish I don't mean to hijack your great thread about my little team but you so have hit the nail on the head, I'm worried too.....and what manager would get the best out of Hooper?....Yes you guessed it Mr Lennon, I love CH but hes just not using the players correctly, its a nightmare, CH or another manger is going to get the best out our team and I know we will be a force to be reckoned with, I don't know just got to keep plugging away and have faith in Mr Mcnally because he has brought us back from the brink and we have no reason to doubt him now, Better than that Mr Lancaster I can tell you

[seanocelt]

Hooper is decent, but any decent striker can shine with the chances we create. Getting goals in the EPL with a lower than top ten club will prove just how good he is. No chances though = no goals

[junglejim]

So its Easter Road today for the battle of the Greens with Tel´s Stormtroopers ! Looks like atrocious weather ahead so will affect the game .
Maybe Big Sammy´s last game or will Neil plump for a couple of our new signings up front since Stokesy is suspended ?
Bound to be physical after last game in Edinburgh so watch out for referee´s "honest mistakes " - let´s keep this run going and stretch our lead !
Interesting to not thye MSM are turning on Supersalary , something going on at Sevco ? A bit of a kicking on Radio Scotland yesterday!

Saw the full game. Good early goal from Commons. After that Celtic didn`t do much
untill the late second half. Flattered victory,not only me saying, although goal 2 and 3
was nice shots.

[junglejim]

Celtic v Killie - another decent performance brings home the 3 points against the Ayrshire Branch of Hundom , a poor effort from Killie with Boydchenko sitting on the bench.
Hopefully the bid for Thumbellina at Wolves will peter out and we move onto other targets .Neil I´m sure will get over the disappointment and focus on the upcoming cup-tie with Aberdeen next month .
Paisley Buddies on Sunday for nexr game and a chance to extend our good run!

SoThumbellina has signed from Wolves , 800K another lack of ambition signing to join the list .
I hope Neil proves everyone wrong with this signing and the guy screws the nut and behaves himself !
Mind you , Stokesy never did get charged with beating the Elvis impersonator to death ,did he ? More MSM pash !

[junglejim]

We have Aberdeen in the Cup today so should be a tough tie for both - Celtic scored very late on in last tie at Celtic Park to win the match and it could go that way again .
Will he start Griffiths or Stokes or even Pukki , will Forrest make it out of his sick bed or has he fallen off the tall bar stool in Elliot´s again ?
Will the Sheep come and sing the same abusive songs they did at their last visit or just chuck their kids´dinner money at Neil,the most abused Ginger in Scotland since Mary Queen of Scots - makes for an interesting day all round !!
I´m looking for 2-0 Celtic but it could go either way with the hype this week - watch this space !!
Hail! Hail!

Big game, forget the previous games, in a one off this will test our mettle. Many waiting for us to fall.

All in all not a good performance from Celtic. Sadly there stand a loss at the end of the game.
I just saw the first half. After 20-25 mins Celtic stop playing for a second goal.

[seanocelt]

You are correct Isle. Sometimes you just know. I had a feeling we were not taking this game as HUGE. Guess it wasnt to us.



We regularly fail to show up for one -offs under Neil. It is a concern. HH.

All bad news for us this week with illicit land deals, dodgy bank loans,plummeting fan base, Neil leaving ,Sevco on a treble ,and you can now by Blackpool Rock with the word Bazza running through it!! Suck it and see !
Anyway , Thumbelina to start today and will Neil play Sammy instead of Sick-Note just to rile the support ?

Hail! Hail !

A comfortable win and could have scored a few more goals with a bit of luck though St Johnstone offered little in way of attacking play .
Nice to see the Green Brigade back in , by the side door ! It willbe interesting to see what the deal is with them this time , at least they helped to bring a bit of atmosphere to ground . Just a pity they didn´t do it last week , it might have helped !

Celtic away to Hearts today -another Tussle at Tynecastle - we are trying to extend our unbeaten run and Frazer´s shut out record , it will be interesting to see if he keeps the Stoke/ Griffiths partnership upfront and who he plays on left side if Izzy is still injured .
Still options on left with Charlie Mulgrew and Boerrigter on wing -Matthews/ Fisher also available - hope it´s a good atmosphere for our last game at Tynecastle for a long while! Shame ,I always liked going there for the "Banter"!

[Isle]

The first half of Hearts-Celtic was quite similar to Hamburg-Dortmund. The only difference
in Edinburgh it was 0:0 after ht in Hamburg with a late goal 1:0 for Hamburg.
Good result for Celtic 0:2 victory.

did yees a wee favour yesterday!!

Hi Davie ! congratulations on your first home win! Keep it and yourselves up !
Mathematical possibility depending on results , we could "clinch " title on 26th at Firhill ! Though I suspect St Mirren game is favourite .
Decent result against Jambos yesterday , at least they made a fight of it in 2nd half - no mention of fan running onto park after Griffiths -shocking stewarding again !
Just as well we won´t be back there for a long time !
Up at the Sheep on Tuesday night on Celtic TV here due to Champions League TV so an excuse for a bevvy !

Yes, Champions League on Tuesday. I´ve a option to watch two games as Dortmund play on 18.00 cet.
Aberdeen away won´t be easy for Celtic as the cup home loss is still in the mind.
