The Offical Glasgow Celtic thread

[tonto1888]

I just read an article about Celtic's success that opened with the line "All the right people are hurting today". In short, this solidifies my view that Scottish Football's lack of quality and long standing competition has been replaced by a culture war, and one-upmanship. If your first thought after success is to jeer the reaction and feelings of your opponents, it demonstrates how kicks are being found when it comes to the Scottish game.

you ever been to a Man United/City game? They both sing about each other regardless of who they are playing ffs

Rivalry is a part of sports. No question. But I feel in Scotland there has been a gradual shift towards glee in somebody else's loss, as opposed to joy in your victory.

To me, that sort of glee is usually compensatory when you have won nothing or achieved nothing of not, but your rival drops the ball.

Tonto's point stands

Utd and Liverpool fans both guilty of tragedy chanting, and its not like they've been unsuccessful

You have just been nominated as a candidate for the  'most naive post ever' award on this thread when the 20th anniversary awards poll is held next year.

I'm not sure why it's naive?

If you take GAA as an example, "second counties" were more often than not for people where their primary county was an also ran (there may also be family loyalty).

In 2011 when Dublin won their First AI in 16 years, my first thought wasn't to have a poke at Meath.

Nothing supporters of any team appreciate more than people who've little or no interest in their team coming in and pontificating on some irrelevance.

A little precious?

Which is evident on the Utd Liverpool City Everton and Rangers threads

Should we look in on those threads and see who's been naughty?

As one of the main polluters of multiple threads I'd say you probably already know.

Lighten up, Celtic won and the depression from the fans is hysterical

Had Dunfermline reached the play-off final  how would that have worked out with it being scheduled for this Thursday?

The 64k question, will MON be the manager next year?  I'd say he's been offered the job and is taking time to appraise himself and the job.If so who would take charge of the recruitment, Shawn Moloney? right now I think the current  3 musketeers  would be in the best position to transition the squad through all the necessary changes.A part of me would like Askau and for him to be given supreme command to implement wholesale change in structures re recruitment, coaching and playing direction. But he strikes me as a quiet lad without the required dominant personality of an Ange or the giant narcissist ego  of a Rodgers, not to mention the grim sadism of a Captain Blythe (Strachan).

Celtic need serious money spent and a complete rebuild is needed. There's about 15 new players needed. It's vital a goal scorer or 3 comes in through the door when Maeda heads on.

They need to establish 2 things asap

Whose in the dugout, and what their starting 11 is for the first game of next season (new recruits included)

Lets be honest they'll do nothing in the CL, they need to focus on domestic matters and yes as pointed out they need a striker or 2

[illdecide]

My take on the game for what it's worth is Celtic deserved to win the game and even though we were close to injury time I kept saying to the ones around me that I just feel we're gonna score, my vision before the game was 1-1 and for us to score in 95th minute to win it and be the ultimate sickner for them and that almost worked out but the way it happened was brilliant and I couldn't have written the script any better. First half was poor from both teams and the penalty from Engels was essential as I think 0-1 down at HT would have been a different second half than the one we got.
Second half it was much more exciting and Celtic showed a lot more ungency, Jasus even Nygren was putting a shift in and running at Hearts. Genuinely it felt like it was only a matter of time with the pressure Celtic put on Hearts but was getting a tad nervous, I couldn't say the same for other guys around me. MON pulled a master stroke taking Trusty off and putting an extra forward on and there were at 6's and 7's in last 5-10 mins of that game. The rest as they say is History...As for the we pri@ks running onto the pitch, they should get a sever boot up the hole. the fact that the fns in the stand were booing them says it all.
