The Offical Glasgow Celtic thread

[lynchbhoy]

I suppose a 'guard of honour' to welcome the SPL champions onto the pitch, would be out of the question?

if thats the done thing in the same season as a team wins it, then Celtic would have to do so...
the fans wont like it too much !

Will be interesting to see what team Lennon sends out.
Its a darn pity that Rogne is out. Loovens is doing a late fitness test but I cant see him being right to start.
It will be O'dea and Thompson as centre halves.
Will Rassmussen start?
I hope so !

apparantly some clubs are interested in Fortune
Lets hope they make Celtic an offer they cant refuse (for me that would anything above £2million !- others I know would take ten quid !)

LB I'll give you 3 blackjacks, 2 refreshers and a packet of burger bites to take him!
Stories of him being linked with a transfer swop. Fred Flintstone wouldn't be bad.

aye - the brother told me the other day that the swap we are being linked with was matt derbyshire
I said I'd swop him for eileen derbyshire (emily out of coronation st)

Fortune is a talented player well hidden inside a sheep clothing.


Re the guard of honour thing to the SPL champions, of course it's tongue in cheek. But I'd be all in favour of players, after such a season, having to eat humble pie in front of the fans. I can't think of anything more cruel.
Much better than a lap of honour to an empty stadium.

'Celtic's' Man Mowbray had as good a season as he guy prior to him. Neither were good enough though. Lets hope Celtic appoint a decent man next time out ! - well us Celtc fans hope so, doubt if you share that sentiment !!

You were the one arguing that he was improving the team - right up until the time we got chinned by St Mirren.  And the difference between Mowbray and the guy prior to him was 3 league titles and 2 last 16 CL finishes. Real football fans - that's football, not 'soccer', btw - would know that. You, on the other hand, are a sports fan whose favourite sport is GAA. And it shows, believe me.

You have a problem Myles with the word 'soccer' being used to describe association football?
That's weird.
Pretty much every kid in Ireland that attended a school with both sports, GAA and Soccer,  use the word 'soccer' as a term of description, to distinguish it from GAA football.

Though I do hear quite many  English people on the BBC radio, act condescendingly towards those ( eg North Americans) who use the term "soccer",  as  'football' is already understood to mean American Football.

Not true. The word 'soccer' may be widely used in rural areas. In urban areas, kids talk about 'football' and 'Gaelic' to distinguish between the two. In rural areas, Gaelic is what kids are brought up on and is no doubt the more popular sport. I don't have a problem with that. I do have a problem with people who are obviously steeped in GAA coming on like they're Alex Ferguson, when it's fairly obvious they know fcuk all squared about football. Or 'soccer' if it makes you happy.

Just because people in here put football before soccer does not mean  that the are not knowledgeable about both codes. Gaelic FOOTBALL and soccer are not mutually exclusive, you can actually know a lot about both.

Or little about both.

Not much in the way of tactics or good football from Celtic tonight. Lenny has restored some passion but little else by the looks of it.

[ONeill]

2-1 Celtic 45 mins

[ONeill]

Feisty enough encounter and hopefully Lafferty gets a hidin.

You might have missed the two goals,
the most important Celtic fact.
Looks a fired up game to me, hope Robbie doesn't get his legs broken out there.

[ONeill]

Lafferty clattered by Brown.

Nope, saw all 3 goals. 1st an og. 2nd typical
Celtic defending. 3rd would never have been allowed by ref if the game had any bearing on the title. All I'm pointing out is that the football on show is dire. Lenny is a great Celtic man but way too inexperienced to get the job.
