Moved to Lurgan last month (eventually), and there's been a hike in dissident activity and Covid infections since then. Perfect timing  ;D

What's up with the dizzies? Was it them that burned out the delivery van on the tracks at Lake St.? Or just random young gulpins with too much to drink?

Is there a difference?

Duffy is close.

https://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/football/article-8679735/Celtic-set-complete-one-year-loan-deal-Brighton-defender-Shane-Duffy.html

Potentially the right signing to bolster for Europe. Pity it wasn't done three or 4 weeks ago. 3-5-2 beckons, although Ajer could be away.

I think he'll be a good signing and the fee is very reasonable, he's at a good age to get another 4/5 good years out of him too.

With him and Jullien we should carry a huge scoring threat from set plays. Jullien must be close to double figures in goals for Celtic now?

I don't really rate Ajer, if we got £15m or so for him I'd bite your hand off - so long as that money was then made available to strengthen the squad - which we know is very unlikely.

We're also being linked with Sampdoria centre half Omar Colley for around €8m but I don't think there's any hope of that happening unless Ajer moves on.

It's a loan signing

Documentary at 9pm on BBC2 about Liverpools 30 year wait for the title.
Really enjoyed it. Worth a watch for anyone that didn't see it.

I assume it will be on iplayer

Job done today...Celtic played a bit better, even James Forrest had a decent game. You could see his frustration after scoring as he doesn't normally react like that so he probably realised himself he hadn't been playing well so to get his goal will do him the world of good and his general play was good. The difference in the second half playing with a centre forward and Frimpong in at RB was so much better.
Leigh Griffiths starts back training tomorrow and Edouard will be fit after International break so hopefully things will be up another notch in a few weeks...There's only one Neil Lennon...one Neil Lennon :D

Looked comfortable but that should be the end of no striker starting. In fact I hope we go with two. Frimpong seems wasted as a right back.
Forrest finished well, and great reaction. A lot of frustration dissipated!
Who did Celtic beat?

It's easy for them to win every week against teams they've a far superior budget and they are expected to win.

They bet St Mireen or Ross County or some otheri key mouse team and everything is great!!

10 in a row is still on!!!  Yay Celtic, what a team, battering the like sof Ross County & Hamilton every week!! Players must be lining up to be a part of such a milestone!!!!

What a milestone to put on your CV😆

You have really misjudged Celtic fans

Apart from tour ten in a row comment. That will be great

What sort of scouting recruiting are they doing. Celtic have a limited budget but seems to be hoping they discover a gem from a smaller league like Poland. Sorro, Klimala,

Gerrard has been backed at Rangers. Ryan Kent was a good signing.  Leeds looking to sign him.  Defoe a proven Premier league player, Steven Davis.

Lennon has let Bayo and Shved depart without giving either a chance. Klimala and Soro are warming the bench.

We don't really know anything about these players yet we are seeing James Forrest embarrassing himself week in, week out. Lennon picks his favourites irrespective of form or ability.

They could be good players, let's not forget Teemu Pukki was a player Neil Lennon had under him at his first spell in charge at Celtic.........

Pukki played one year under Lennon and admitted himself he thought playing in Scotland would be easy and that he found the speed and physicality difficult to adjust to.

You keep talking about the huns imploding last season. Do Celtic get no credit whatsoever on your mind at all
I'm not defending Lennon for last night. Not starting a striker was unforgivable.

Do Celtic get any credit for the huns imploding?

Absolutely not.

Celtic have been an embarrassment in big games under Lennon, they are a very poorly organised team under Lennon, lots of players have gone backwards under him since he took over - Forrest, McGregor, Ajer, Christie, Rogic to name a few.

Celtic are a one man team and Edouard is the only thing between Lennon and the exit door.

If Celtic have any ambition or hope for the future then Lennon simply has to go, he is out of his depth.

Forget about the huns for once ffs. Celtic's run after the break was excellent and is very credit worthy for normal fans. Yes we have had embarrassing results under Lennon. We have also had some excellent results but they seem to have escaped your mind.

That said. A lot of people on here have very short memories

I can remember Cluj and Copenhagen and I can remember the performances against the huns last year.


Lennon is completely out of his depth in this job.

What Brown was doing on the pitch near the end beggars belief.

James f**king Forrest, I don't know where to start on this guy.......

Can you remember winning at ibrox last season? Can you remember winning the league last year? Can you remember beating lazio home and away and topping the EL group or is it only bad resukts you remember? I'm pisses off tonight and Lennon has to carry the can for that result but some of the reactions are over the top. Knee jerk reactions you would hope

I can remember fluking the cup at Ibrox, getting comprehensively outplayed in 2 of the 3 derby matches, getting fucked out by Cluj in the CL qualifiers, humbled by Copenhagen in the Europa League. I can remember the huns imploding after Christmas dropping 13 points in 10 matches and Celtic being awarded the title by default.

I can remember James Forrest playing like a fanny for the past 8 or so months and still being an automatic pick.

Remind me again what celtics record was after the break. I swear to god Celtic fans are the worst at times

Celtic's level is Europa league and if we can't beat that team we definitely have no place being in the CL.

Would be very disappointed to see Rogic go, he's out of favour with Lennon but he is better than the likes of Christie and Brown are.

Lennon is very regimented in his side. There's a huge difference in the type of culture that exists between himself and Rodgers. Lennon will pick his favourites consistently irrespective of form or fitness, Rodgers operated a meritocracy which is how guys like Armstrong, Rogic and Christie among others were able to come in out of the cold and cement their place.

Lennon leaves the fringe players sitting on the sideline and persists with out of form players. Christie has been very poor since the game at Ibrox last December, Rogic should have been afforded a lot more chances in the meantime. He does suffer from niggles but was on the bench for the majority of games last season.

Forrest has been sure for the guts of a year now, we've jettisoned off Shved and Bayo without either being given a proper go at Celtic. If he have to watch another season of James Forrest passing the buck then I will pull my hair out.

10 goals and 14 assists in 28 league games last season. I will be happy with that return again this season

There have been no cases tracked from outdoor sports events. None.

Where did you hear this? They have stated that there is evidence to show people carpooling to games, and congregating before and after games, has resulted in cases
GAA officials have stated on field activities hasn't resulted in a case thus far. It was only 100 paying supporters in the 26 counties, 50 from each club. Plenty are carpool to the shops, restaurants, beach etc and congregating before and after.


It seems a few on here are going to be shocked and angry when the plug is pulled on the inter County season to fill the void the club provincial and All-Ireland series should be restored for the October to December.

Why would inter county get pulled yet club allowed to continue

If we can get 4 million for Rogic that is great business
