The Offical Glasgow Celtic thread

[T Fearon]

Bairds surely must be as rough as they come, although it is a great Celtic bar. Once read a review when a wag from the North of Ireland (presumably a Rangers fan) advised that it is better to take your drink and move outside to the back of the building as he reckoned "the smell is better as is the clientele" (The clientele presumably those inebriated answering a call of nature)

On a lighter note, I have amassed sufficient reward points on my Celtic Mastercard to allow me to attend a special lunch with the Manager and Celtic icons, and have booked this this morning (date will be in either March or April). Just hope Mowbray isn't in charge of the catering that day!

Lads, heading over to watch the hoops this wkend for the first time.  Planning on heading out on the fri/sat night.  Anywhere you would recommend? Good drinking spots before the game? Cheers

for aCeltic night nout- anywhere in the gallowgate/barrowlands area - Bairds bar being a must.

However if its a night out with decent bars and chasing girls, maybe the bars around the merchant city area (near glasgow cross) were always a bit better.
I'd say more upmarket which sounds 'posh' but the lower levels of some bars in glasgow starts from way down the food chain, so youd want a better area/better class of pub if you are to enjoy yourseves.
West end of glasgow is also posher and full of decent bars and students/yuppies/young professionals
or you could try the celtic members bar past Celtic park out London rd. A celtic spot, cheap drink and used tohave a pool table. No weemin ther though.
You just have to sign in and 'become' a member on the spot.

Hate to say it but so many of the Glasgow bars and Celtic bars are rough spots.
Also avoid the louden tavern !

Cheers!

'Celtic have stopped going downhill when strachan left them.'

What's the weather like on your planet?

think everyone knows you know nothing about sports let alone celtic

I see your team were losing 2-0 at ht tonight...
also saw their rivals cliftonville were drawing too

Your team won by a goal and 3 points at the weekend, didn't they? There's a huge difference between gaelic football and 'soccer'. One day you'll realise that. 

realise more than you know - some people reckoned I was a better soccer player than at Gaelic football * ! Having captained two school teams as a kid in England I suppose I wasnt too bad at it !Just preferred gaelic football because I thought it was the best game to play out of all of soccer, rugby, football etc !!

hard luck wee lad !


* though maybe I was just rubbish at football !

John Hartson played the game at a slightly higher level than you. I'll side with him on this issue, if it's all the same with you kid.

when John Hartson starts to criticise me then I'll address him and any comments -
my comments were in direct response to your purile remarks attempting to say that I knew nothing about soccer only GAA
so you've got it wrong again wee chap - is it half term break already or something ?

yer some laugh - cant believe a single person could know so little about so many things !!

Hartson's article contradicts everything you've said on this topic. Hardly surprising, given that your knowledge of 'soccer' seems to begin and end with a few matches at schoolboy level! Keep her lit, kid - you're cracking entertainment if nothing else!

If you read hartsons article probably you might actually realise that most of what he said is actually what the mowbrary camp is saying on here you pleb.

Just because you think the two lines you might agree with sums up the whole article just about confirms your lack of intelligence.

Caldwell and mcmanus were in the squad up to january and most of the results he included were pre january so not only does he contradict himself the fact that caldwell and mcmanus were at the club for 85% of the season so far doesnt make much sense in what he says.

But i wouldnt expect a simpleton like you to understand that.

no doubt our uninformed 'friend' will retort with a personal attack on you now since you have also pointed out the fatal flaws in his 'argument' ! 

I think many on this thread indicated a long time ago that this little chappies opinions were 'interesting' at best and otherwise way off the mark ! - so any insults from him(her?) I wouldnt be too worried about !

Steady on, Mowbray's Celtic have only played Rangers twice and manged to lose one and humiliate Rangers in the second one yet still only draw the game.

The only real humiliation Celtic suffered against Rangers in Strachan's time was the very first time he met them in 2005 and at the start of last season, through errors more than anything else.

There was also the two back to back victories over Rangers in the must win games in the Spring of 2008 and last year's New Year's win at Ibrox and the CIS Cup Final. Strachan more tha held his own against Rangers, during the reign of Mc Leish, Le Guen and Smith. Funny the amount of players willing to joi him at Middlesbro if there was such dissention in the dressing room

I don't think Mowbray could win the SPL with the current Man Utd squad at his disposal. He is tactically naive, unable to motivate and inspire and is thoroughly lightweight in terms of football management overall. As I've said before he is ideally suited to the likes of WBA, Hibs etc but way out of his depth wth a big club with huge expectations

I don't expect Celtic to beat Dundee Utd this Saturday or Rangers the following week and I fear we'll leave Ibrox with our tails between our legs amid the Huns title winning celebrations.

However all this would be worth enduring if its brings the curtain down on the reign of Celtic's worst manager since Barnes.

Did the referee's decisions have any bearing on these games? You must have been watching your other team those days.
Who made the errors that you speak of?

Im quaking in my boots alrite.

Back to more pressing matters and the fact that the celts have to very important games coming up against dundee utd and rangers.

Dundee utd will be looking to get to third so will be up for it and st johnstones hammering of the hibees last night will have done their cause the world of good.I see sheridan scored in that game too.
I would expect a win with a clean sheet and a good performance before the rangers game.
Rangers are away to st johnstone and i dont expect them to drop points there but you never know.

Hopefully all the bhoys will get behind their side for the game whatever their opinions on the manager.

Think you'll find it was Johnny Hartson who pointed out the flaws in your argument, kiddo. International footballer who has worked with 'Mogga' versus GAA fan who played in his school football team. Tough call.

Your team won by a goal and 3 points at the weekend, didn't they? There's a huge difference between gaelic football and 'soccer'. One day you'll realise that. 

when John Hartson quotes that at me I will respond to it, as it is just you
i'll reply and try not to laugh too much!
Bbj isn't exactly against mowbray, re read the article! He's just being
realistic!

Btw 'Mogga' is what we called him when he played for Celtic in the early
90's - but only Celtic fans would know that!

When are your holidays over ?!!

He says Celtic aren't good enough to overhaul Rangers, that they leak goals because Mowbray has done nothing for the team defensively since his arrival. He makes the point that Mowbray had the same problem at his previous club - and he should know, he played for him. That's not realism, my young friend, that's criticism. And these are the same points some of us have been making since Mowbray was appointed. You on the other hand have rambled on - and you do ramble on and on - about the improvements he has made since taking over from Strachan! 4 -4 was probably a common enough score when you played at school, but it's a poor result for a top class professional team. Keep taking your points!

Myles out of curiousity, have you ever had a good/positive/intelligent thing to say about the Celts?

so you say that Mowbray has done nothing for the team defensively?
the same team that leaked goals last season also?
WBA - the same team tht BBJ couldnt get a game - so maybe he has a bit of a gripe against mowbray too as Mogga did say that BBJ was just too unfit to play. Thats realistic.
I agree with most of what BBJ says however. I dont agre that Celtic are not good enough to win the league, they have just allowed too many points between themselves and rangers to be able to make a come back - thats realisitc.
That Celtic have been far better v rangers this season than prev seasons is realistic. But mowbray is not doing well so far - thats realistic - but like strachan last season , and they will be on a par if mogga's Celtic dont win the league this year !
See you can reply back without resorting to personal insult if you try - pity its still just an ineffectual argument !
I like your attempts at paraphrasing BBJ - it almost works !

this will stand you in good stead for the upcoming exams no doubt !


GDA - sure dont you remember that last season myley was saying much the same thing - just replace Mowbrays name with strachans !
Never a Celtic fan - we all know that !

And yet it's better than the 4-2 defeat Celtic suffered in the corresponding fixture last year.
