Celtic Diary Sunday August 13: You’ve Got To Love Scottish Football

After this weekends round of matches, the excitement and interest refuses to die down.

Friday night saw Celtic win the first Glasgow derby of the season. An Olivier Ntcham / Scott Brown goal gave the hoops a 1-0 win at Firhill which kept the side at the top.

Ntcham saw his shot deflected by Brown, and has been credited with the goal, largely because hardly anyone had him down for first goalscorer.

Of course, bookmakers don’t influence football that much, though they are happy to suggest kick off times that co-incide with peak betting times in the middle and far east. ( Falkirk through to Edinburgh ).

Seriously, sit down and ask yourself why there is football on television every night these days.

 

Anyhoo, back to the ranch, and although Celtic kept the invincible tag for another week, some people still weren;t happy.

Watch this incident..

Biton

Not only are some saying its a penalty, and claiming both Gordon and Biton need to be dropped for the upcoming Astana game, they genuinely think that two key members of a defence that has conceded just one goal in seven games-which hit the keepers leg and went in while Celtic were four goals to the good- shpould be replaced full stop.

The 1-0 win saw a lot of criticism of the side, and for the life of me I cannot work out why.

It was a difficult away game at an awkward hour.

Players had to adjust their training so that they could be at peak fitness around eight o’clock on a Friday night .

They then had to remain completely focused until nearly ten o’clock without once wondering whose round it is, whether or not the pub will shut before they run out of money, or if they’ll run out of money before the pub shuts.

That , for me , took some doing.

All of that whilst playing to their limit , and not dropping their concentration, although there would not have been a single one of them who did not have the Astana game on their minds.

Celtic won the game, kept the hundred per cent record, and thats that.

Some people only see what they want to.

What I saw was Celtic not being awarded a penalty against them which would probably have cost two points.

Which was what I’ll remember about the game.

For those of you looking for a scapegoat, or someone to moan about.

Give it a rest.

We done good,and we’ll keep doing good.

However, if the players were toiling, and perhaps needed a bit of encouragement, the away support, always vocal and always passionate, were there to inspire them.

Graham Spiers, of the times, spotted it, and you could tell he was impressed.

Maybe I’m wrong, but If i was playing, and maybe not quite on my game for whatever reason, I’m quite sure a Walk On, or a quick Hail Hail sung by a few thousand would get me to roll my sleeves up way ahead of something about a unicorn in my dads bedroom.

If the fans-or supporters- are there to inspire the players, then perhaps the songsheet should be adjusted accordingly.

Radical, I know, and yes, I know, they aren’t illegal, nor are they songs of hatred, but a supporters job is to support a football team, its part of what Brendan Rodgers calls the holy trinity of management , players and supporters.

Lets face it, before a big game, he’s hardly likely to conduct the players in a quick chorus of the Men Behind the Wire, he’s probably figured out it won’t get their danders up.

So why should the support think any different ?

 

Ah, but what about … ?

Fuck what about.

We’re all about us, and getting that team to the next level.

 

Speaking of what about..

St. Johnstone leapt to the top of the table yesterday, with a convincing pasting of Motherwell.

Neil McCann, former Sky TV pundit, found out that managing a team at the top level is harder than talking about it and waving his rule bok about. His side were thrashed 3-0 by Hamilton, a side whose fans are refusing to buy season books because their chairman is on the SFA board and won’t do the decent thing, yet their players managed to beat McCanns quite comfortably.

The dead cat bounce effect has now worn off, and those of you who enjoy seeing people fail to do well at what they criticise others for doing will get a lot of fun this season. You hypocrites.

Aberdeen won a tricky tie up at Ross County, and Hearts look like they might just find their feet under Paul Hartley.

Oh wait, he isn’t there yet.

With an experienced manager at the helm, and a few players who’ve been around the block at the top level, much was expected of Hibernian at Ibrox yesterday.

They didn’t disappoint, despite losing an early goal, which prompted a pitch invasion from the home fans who aren’t used to winning regularly under their own new manager.

The Edinburgh side raced into a 3-1 lead once they remembered to play the team in front of them and not the occasion, and only a late consolation goal offered a bit of hope for “rangers ” as they lost their promising run of two games undefeated.

That summary leaves out the red card given to Ryan Jack, the man who has made quite possibly the biggest booboo in the history of Scottish football by putting a promising career on hold with his move to Ibrox, and the frustration showed when he got himself sent off for a head butt, or an intended head butt, on Anthony Stokes.

Apparently it was captured by the cameras behind the goal, though i haven’t seen it yet.

If you thought it was odd Partick not getting a penalty late on against Celtic at 1-0 down, then the sending off at ibrox of a “rangers ” player by former season book holder John Beaton was downright surreal.

This sudden outbreak of good refereeing prompted a massive reaction amongst a support who didn’t understand the events unfolding before them..

On change.org, 2000 of them have signed a petition…

 

Petitioning Hampden Park Scottish Football Association

End The Anti-Rangers Views Amongst Referees In Scotland!

Image result for shock

One commentator on Follow follow, a website for “rangers ” fans, declared…

I seen this coming and its been my biggest fear all the way through the lower leagues. They will not allow us to reach the top of the game in this shitehole again.

How many times in his career has Jack been sent off?  Just his second game in the corrupt Scottish league with a Rangers shirt on his back and he gets Red carded for fuck all.

Referees know they will not be slaughtered either by their bosses at the corrupt SFA, or by the masses in the mhedia  across TV, radio or in the newspapers  for showing their hate for us. There will be no lengthy debate from the slime at the BBC about wrong decisions costing us points. They will be applauded and lauded for their “bravery” by every one of our enemies and from fans of every other club in this cesspit backwater that used to be Scotland.

If this is left and goes unchallenged, we are fucked, and so is Scottish fitbaw.

FUCK THEM ALL  

The scary thing is that he-and the rest of them-actually believe that.

 

Sure the gap is widening, but if it helps I’ve isolated it…

 

Fact is, they’ve been taken for a ride and now its not going where they want it to, they want to blame anyone but themselves for not looking where they are going.

Yet over the last five or six years, its a compliant media that has hidden the truth from them, and allowed them to be shafted by the rather devious old  owners, who are more or less the same ones in charge now, with just a couple of conmen in between.

Not only that, but the press, anxious to deflect from yesterdays  result, lead today with this…

Show him respect ?

This is Pedro Caixinha, who in the post match interview declared..

We are here, we are unite, we are the people

Pedro, dear fellow, respect must be earned.

And believe me, my friend, as far as they define the people , you are most definitely not in that category…

Neil Lennon, the subject of bombs and bullets from the “rangers ” support a few years ago, got his usual welcome from the hordes, and obviously enjoyed his sides win.

Who wouldn’t ?

No doubt he received the usual warm welcome and reminders of their love for him, and yet when he celbrates a goal, they want him thrown into prison.

The realisation that their side isn’t making any progres under Caixinha has hurt the support.

It has hurt the directors, who have placed all their eggs into his basket, and they cannot afford to replace him.

 

With all that in mind, its going to be an interesting season, if only we could find someone to sell it to the masses.

 

One man who has been at Ibrox for a while has seen the writing on the wall.. and probably asked someone to read it to him..

And it all looked so good, as recently as last week…

 

Image result for laurel and hardy gif

 

Meanwhile, though its always good to laugh at them, we’ve our own issues to deal with.

Danny ings on a six month loan has been spoken of, Stuart Armstrong has pretty much told he isnlt going to be allowed to wait until ?January and fuck off for nothing, and Patrick Roberts…

Now wouldn’t that be a buzz if he signed early this week ?

 

Friday is normally the day reserved for Knob of the Week, but sometimes someone does enough to make the title seem a little less than he deserves.

Today we introduce a new award, which will be awarded randomly to someone who has gone beyond knobbery into the land of complete bastardry, and so the we’d like to recognise such a marvellous step up in dedication to ones vocation in life.

For this , we head to Stirling, and the Stirling Albion -Berwick game, where football really is football and miles away from the multi milllion pound industry we are served on television.

It’s the game at its most honest, and most enjoyable, and yet there’s always one who will spoil you day..

This steward apparently took a fruit shoot- a plastic bottle with a cordial type drink in it-  from a six year old, presumably in case the child flung it at a player , or had hidden several ounces of gunpowder in it.

So he gets the new award, and will keep it until someone else comes along and claims it with an act thats even worse than this.

Which is unlikely but you never know…

Well done sir.

you’ve reached heights that no one else ever has.

you are Etims first ever..

Complete Bastard 

 

Then there was the tweet and reply that made me -and thousands of others chuckle..

If you weren’t a betting man you’d be in Burnley’s squad traveling to Chelsea ya daft cunt 😂😂😂😂

 

No diary yesterday, I had to go to work, so we go back to Friday for this picture

Like many, many others I have encountered bigotry, from 5 years old when my school was Catholic on one side and Non Catholic on the other, to job interviews (which school did you go to) since then till now. But thankfully I never encountered a fraction of what Lenny has.
He is the bravest wee fellow, he takes it but will never accept it, yet still retains a degree of humour.
I salute you Lenny my hero, I wish you nothing but success.
Celtic scored a good second goal on Friday, (Broonies) but never a whisper, just the same as no mention of the coin throwing into the family area where the Hibees supporters sat with their bairns.

Celtic weren’t crap on friday they were simply toothless in attack.
We controlled the bulk of the game moved the ball about fairly efficiently but alas had no frontman to hit when the final ball went into the box.
I shall say this again is a fit Ciftci or Aitchison up front any worse an idea than a useless Forrest in the striker role?
At least they know what channels and runs to make.
That aside only a complete balloon would accept the songbook being sung by the usual suspects in the away Support at Celtic.
It was that bad even the fact a smoke canister being let off in the crowd failed to get a mention anywhere?
Theses games are live on an International Broadcasters station being heard and seen by millions ffs?
These clowns are giving off the impression that Celtic is the home of the Republican movement in Football with the almost non stop vocal reference to a time long since past.
I’ll wager the vast majority of them (and you) have never been anywhere the stuff they continually glorify in song?
If they feel that strongly about the Republic they should get their arse over to Ulster and stand sided by side with those that also do.
It’s a fitba Club not the sporting wing of the IRA.
Never was never will be.
Wise up ya clown(s).

Agree with some of your comments (don’t collapse).We were crap,it’s easy to control the game when the other team gets a collective nose bleed when crossing the half way line.Aichison up front,yep,seeing as BR thought buying a striker would upset the two we have,oops,another mistake.Songs being sung have/ will be sung.The main reason being it really annoys the “Establishment ” and Ralph and the SMSM.You would lose any amount of wager about the 26 counties comment,I still have family in the South and have encountered Brit army,RUC and UDR patrols in the North and while crossing the old border.Charmers,there were/are none.Celtic have/never will be about football only.Sanitisation will never prevail.What did you think about 40000 of the enemy blasting nonstop abuse against Lenny yesterday?Wonder why Celtic fans sing their songs?Your answer is all around,but you don’t live among it.Clowns can be quite scary……

Another game without a striker, another game put at risk. Everyone can see it doesn’t work but Rodgers persists. Agree with you about Ciftci/Aitchison, if Rodgers continues to snub them they might join Armstrong in wanting away.

We clearly missed a striker, any striker, when we have played without one. From the 1st leg against Rosenborg, we’ve played ~4 hours without a striker and scored 2 goals and we’ve played ~2 hours with a striker and scored 4 goals.

Ciftci is still here, he’s not in the CL squad, I would much rather we played Aitchison.

If Cifti isn’t in the C.L. squad then why mention Rosenborg? he isn’t eligible. He has said that Griffiths would be available for Wednesday and if we can score a couple of goals and don’t concede then we will be fine. Personally I would like him to play Ajer as a back up striker, he has the physique, the height and the mobility.

A wonderful song fills me with pride everytime i play it,like men behind the wire and the boys of the old brigade amongst others.
Its amazing how no one gave a fuck what we were singing during the days of a club which had a sectarian policy enshrined into its doctrine cheating their way to titles abd cups.
No Catholics need apply was the warcry.
There is great pressure mounting now, they cant handle Celtic being so strong on the field,that the songs now are the focus of the attention.
They are to show our club in a bad light.

I don’t think the red card was for the head butt. I think it was for the hand grab around the throat that was clearly caught on video. It didn’t last long, but is a 100% red card for every official in every league if its spotted. There’s no room in the rule book for discretion on that type of offense and the official had no choice (though I am a bit surprised he didn’t try to even things up later in the match).

Well, for starters I make this of it: Brendan is his name, not “Brenden”. You must try harder.
That statement may, or may not, reflect his true position. You have no clue as to its veracity.
Lawwell has been undermined due to the appointment of Brendan. He’s a slimy, crafty, tory bastard; he’ll sneak his influence on Brendan at any chance he may get. Brendan’s statement may be Lawwell’s subterfuge.
Parkhead, Celtic Park if you prefer, has ALWAYS been a political arena; it was founded on that MOST political principle, that of starvation. A thing that killed hundreds of thousands of Irish men, women and children due to Ireland’s then owners, the UK, depriving those families of the right to food and life.
During the times of “famine” in the 1800s, Ireland was a net exporter of food. Profitable for English fucking landlords. And you want to try to influence us on here with that shit?
Don’t, not fucking ever again, try to throw a mis-judged at best, and influenced most definitely (by the bastard Lawwell), statement, by Brendan, or anyone else. Politics and Football are inseperable; the tory bastards just want more and more control. This should be the next ‘Easter rising’ but we wont wait 6 fucking years for a result.
Now go and do some proper, un-influenced reading and learn how to think like a true Tim.

What amazes me is the fact many of our kin chose to come to the UK to start life again.
Many never returned to Ireland even when it recovered from the ravages of Famine?
No instead they made a home in Britain,took jobs in Britain ,earned wages in Britain and built a fucking life IN BRITAIN.
Yet still we fandans like you harping after an ideal many who remained in the Republic have long since moved on from.
There will be a United Ireland that is a certainty and hopefully by the grace of the almighty it will come to pass without another pointless death of one of sons or daughters.
Celtic Football Club is exactly that a Football Club.
It’s not an extension of Irish Republicanism it never has been.
We claim to be a Club for all how can that be when a section of the support alienate so many with their own political beliefs?
How many potential Celtic Supporters have been put off throughout the years because of this?
We don’t know and we won’t know until we finally move on like the fucking adults we are all supposed to be.
You aren’t Rebels,you aren’t provos you’re just daft wee guys with a very vivid fucking imagination that’s all.
Wise up ffs.
You want to make a political statement then go to a political Raleigh and make one.
Scream yer pseudo Irish nut off all you want singing songs of Freedom that are no longer relevant in a modern Country more concerned about financial hardship than blowing fuck out of each other.
It’s only the hard liners that actually give a fuck btw and even some of them have moved on and can see dialogue was always the answer.
There’s a time and a place for these songs and Football ground in 2017 (20 plus years after a ceasefire and peace process started) isn’t one of them.

Yet again there were serious and dangerous problems with stewarding on Friday with people that had come early as requested but were still met with the usual contemptible shambles.

It has been constant harassment and comptempt for the Celtic fans from the authorities, including our own club.

This and young fans having their homes raided in the early hours on trumped up charges, which are later dropped or thrown out.

This is what concerns me and not songs that have been around for decades and before any of the decryers were anywhere near Paradise.

The peace process is hanging by a thread and only ever came about because of the resistance by the various IRA factions over the last century.

I feel sorry for folk that canny get past the bitterness or the hatred especially those who have never had to experience it on anywhere near the same level as you and folk like you.
Hate eats you up there was never any good came from hate.
Just violence and bad decision making.
One day it will all be over Ireland will be as one and on that day those singing the songs of freedom will have no more excuses to hang onto.
I can see that day in the non too distant future.
Then the people really can sing song of hope and joy.

Love Pedro greeting to the SMSM about Lenny, what a sad sack. Just think back to their magnificent draw in their last Glasgow Derby at Firhill.
The Mankers are going mental, it was hysterical in Ayr last night, oh how they wail that all are against them, cheated fenian bastards, DICKs.
It’s amazing a few Bhoys sing RA songs, but Ibrokes is up to their knees in fenian blood, the media highlight Celtic fans.
A great wee bet on the Hibees at 4-1 gave a nice night out. Unsure why people are so negative about Celtic, as they must have had the Astana game on their minds. Overall they outplayed Partick, only the media thought otherwise.

Penalty all day to Partick but Celtic were superb all over the pitch but Brendan will have to either play a young one or buy a striker, no point in gong on like this. Trouble is how long will Leigh last on Wednesday, he clearly needs some weeks without a game.

The other part of the alleged penalty against Partick has to be the theatrical dive which took place just afterwards. It’s called “simulation”. Chris Sutton,much as I admire him, is a dour cunt and he isn’t always honest with the viewers. To make these matches more exciting, willing Partick to equalize in the last minute(s) seems to have caused much trouser-tenting with the pundits. Jackie McNamara, bless em, didn’t think it was a penalty at all.

Nevous. Bhoys 3-1 but I’d like a clean sheet.

There was MINIMAL contact which you’ll always get in any contact sport. It didn’t cause the player to fall. It CERTAINLY didn’t cause him to collapse like a wardrobe full of soaking wet Yarrows donkey jackets! Which tells you the ref didn’t have a clear view of the situation otherwise it was a penalty OR a booking for simulation.

The theatrical dive didn’t help the penalty claim. In fairness you need the cameras and a studio chat, on the pitch in real time it doesn’t happen like that. We have lost a few that way. If it had been the Celtic player who had been tripped I would have wanted a penalty, if you see it nothing “alleged” about it.

Ha, Stevie D, in all honesty, it’s a long time since I bought Lanny. If memory serves, it was in a fairly classy off-sales around Hope Street and I asked if they had any for a laugh, whilst buying other (inferior) items. On being told they did I bought a few half-bottles (pocketable). I really bought it for some mates to try as I’d often regaled them with tales of drinkin’ the ‘electric soup’; stories like goin’ tae the bar in Greenock (mostly 4 Crown BTW) and askin’ for a ‘dark’ or a ‘clear’ an’ “whit the fuck are you lookin’ at” typae patter. Just as well ah canny find it today 🙂

PS for info, in case you don’t know, Lanny, El D, Four Crown and Royal Springbok were ALL about 18-20 ABV and made in South Africa. Fortified wine.
I’m pretty sure the stuff I got in Hope Street was made in France and wizny the same; I didny think I wiz a really smart Charles Atlas any more; fuckin’ annoyin’.

Celtic still can bring a player in before the Astana game, me i’m hoping its Paddy Roberts, he should fit in like a well tailored suit.
Knows the players, knows Rodgers and his style of play, it would be a great moral boost, for team and club and having played during the close season should be good to go.

Rogic and Armstrong were good enough in the Cup final, Forest was good enough against Rosenberg. Agree about Hayes and wanted Christie to stay.
