The Offical Glasgow Celtic thread

[From the Bunker]

Scottish Cup is the most volatile of the two left. You can always get a Wigan/Man City result in the Cup! That to happen 3 to 4 times in the League would be freakish!

Well tbh Brendan didn't exactly tell me this himself. But I stand by what I say having spoken to him on numerous occasions in the not too distant past. And more recently to a couple of his brothers. Is that a bit better for you?

If he is at CP next season I will be pleasantly surprised. And if so the three years will do him because make no mistake he hankers to be back in EPL.

I guess we shall wait and see

If he wins the treble again and wants to leave because he believes he needs a new challenge I would be fine with that and understand it, I would say that I hope he is honest about his reasons for leaving, he is capable of talking awful shite at times but if it comes to that I would hope he ould be genuine.

If I were him and my stock was high given what he has accomplished at Celtic I would probably want a new challenge to if, and only if, the board was not giving me the money to compete at the next level, i.e European football, Celtic should never pay one penny more than they can afford but if I am BR I am upset that I cannot sign better players because of financial constraints when the club is loaded.

I'd understand that too mate and wouldn't blame him

TEN Things Only A Celtic Fan Will Understand

For most of us, we support Celtic from a young age and follow the team year after year.
Throughout the highs and lows, we experience it all and here are just TEN things you're likely to identify with/know/experience if you're a Celtic fan.

1. You ALWAYS look at the linesman/Ref immediately after Celtic score an important goal because you're used to 'honest mistakes.'
2. You don't fancy our chances against Rosenborg in a qualifier but EXPECT us to beat Bayern Munich by at least two clear goals in the group stage.
3. You're used to being lumped in with sectarianism when you've never sung an anti-religious song in your life.
4. If you wear your Hoops abroad you're getting at least one comment from a foreign bar/cafe owner saying "mon the hoops" or something to that effect.
5. On that same holiday, you'll see a wee growler at the poolside with a union jack towel.
6. That moment when the music fades out and a full Celtic Park sings You'll Never Walk Alone makes the hair on the back of your neck stand up.
7. You're polite as f**k when you have Celtic colours on because you're representing the club and our supporters.
8. In a game of football down the park, you've tried to emulate wee Jimmy Johnstone or Henrik Larsson at some point in your life.
9.Doesn't matter what age you are, you can rhyme off the Lisbon Lion team that won the European Cup.
10. You chant SEBO when someone makes a complete a*** of themselves trying to shoot.

Brilliant

So far this is awful stuff from Celtic, half hour plus in and still 0-0.

Nobody at this, atmosphere subdued to say the least.

3-0 in the end. Edouard apparently made a difference coming on. They have the second best defence in Scotland (I know it's the second teir). Probably 4 big matches left this season - hopefully two cup games, sevco next week and Aberdeen at home. Win all those and mission accomplished.

I want to see what they have in Commper and hope to see him, Charly and young Odsonne all start against the huns, Commper is an excellent back, Charly will give the team that bit of creativity it needs and the Frenchman will give Celtic power and speed up front that will frustrate the huns.

Celtic v Sevco in semi final of Scottish Cup

Sevco cant stop a nosebleed and always concede these days, they are beating up on dog food, the true test awaits next Sunday at high noon, Celtic 3-1 winners.

[illdecide]

BR won't need much motaviation for next Sunday when Sevco players cheered in the changing rooms when they got drawn with Celtic today...I hope we give them something to cry about and learn them to cheer for drawing us...F**king bankrupt Bastids

[imtommygunn]

What do you expect them to do?

[illdecide]

What do you expect them to do?

To say "A for f**k sake, not them fenian bastids". How would i know... but usually cheering comes back to bit you on the arse

[Targetman]

The wee team normally cheer when they draw the big guns, that's the cheering explained, let's sort them next week then we'll see who's cheering!!

[Square Ball]

Pretty frenetic old firm game. Never usually watch them but glad i did. End to end stuff

[Orior]

What was it that the Rangers fans were throwing at Celtic players taking corners in the first half?

[straightred]

very soft red card. masonic rules are kicking in

[StGallsGAA]

very soft red card. masonic rules are kicking in

Expect a Rangers penalty award any time now...

Thats a great win. ref (and linesman) gave them literally everything in the 2nd half but they still couldnt take advantage. Waht a miss by morrelles - comical
