In Ralphs absence

Lost

Somewhere in slumberland ( aka Motel England), one Ralph Malph.

Result..Hee haw Diary for many a day.

If Found, Please return to sober and let productivity commence.

————————————————————————-

Howdy folks
Desimond here.
Ralph is still working away ( as far as we know) and cant get to a pc to do his diary. Anyone familiar with his half a diary recently will know how hard it is for him to do by phone.

In his absence, lets have a quick review of the current and recent talking points shall we. Hopefully keep us going until he returns to civilisation.

1: A Zebra dies
The Celtic v Rangers game can wait a second. Before the game, we had the announcement to Celtic fans that Zebra Finance will not be supporting finance plans for any new Season Book submissions.
The Celtic website read:

DUE to challenges faced by the club’s finance provider, Zebra Finance, supporters who have not yet renewed their season tickets are currently unable to apply for the finance options with Zebra Finance.

These issues are affecting all football clubs who engage Zebra Finance. However, Celtic are working hard to find an alternative solution for supporters and will provide a further update as soon as possible.

We have had confirmation from Zebra Finance that any supporters who have completed the application process with Zebra Finance and received a successful confirmation email from Zebra Finance will not be affected and no further actions are required. The club will communicate a confirmation of such season ticket renewals in accordance with the applicable process

Any applicants who have had a finance application rejected by Zebra Finance will receive a follow-up communication from the club as soon as possible.

A slightly worrying affair for many folk, especially in these times. It will be interesting to see how Celtic with Money in the bank react to this set back.

2: 13 points Clear

We got there, in the end. It was a strange wee game wasn’t it? One half we were rampant and in the next half suddenly we became a shadow side who all looked knackered. Injuries have taken its toll for sure and rushing folk back will never be the answer. The current side is rather Brendan Lennon style rather than a clear Brendan or a Lennon style and its producing mixed and confusing performances. One moment flying, next minute lumbering along. At one stage on Sunday I watched Jeremy Toljan stare at Lustig with a “What am I meant to do?” gesture.

All that said however, our star men saw us through and Odsonne Edouard continues to prove his worth. The “£9m man( you have to call him that according to Scottish press)” once again showed he is a class act and his 45 yard run and finish made rangers back line and keeper look foolish and his assist to Forrest was perfect in placement and drawing defenders away from his colleague.

As for Broony. A great first half including Morelosgate but I actually thought he was poor in the second half wobble as he wasn’t running at all, more a walking role whilst standing in front of Ajer( oh my God bless Kris Ajer!!!!) and Boyata which seemed to cause more crowded confusion against 10 men. All worked out well of course in the end and the winding up and first half display was joyous. Just imagine when he is the Manager in a good few years!.

As for Der Hun. We have now went from the Hope “better in 55 mins” to the Hate. They will just continue to drown in their own denial until they realise they wont catch us unless they go back to cheating ways and/or find a useful idiot with deep pockets and no sense.

Now all I want is for us to get Killie in the last game and for them to pip Rangers in the same way we let Aberdeen through last year. Its the simple things in life that give us the most pleasure.

As for Morelos…will he win Etims Player of the Year….The new record holder for European red cards in one season must be a leading contender.

3: Celtic Festival
After the success of the Lisbon Lion tribute at The Hydro, the club haven’t been slow to seize that opportunity and we have a 3 day Celtic Festival in the summer at the SECC. Its just after July 12th so seems everyone in Glasgow is catered for that month.

The Website reads:

The inaugural Celtic FC Festival, taking place from July 26-28, will see Paradise descend upon the SEC in Glasgow for an unprecedented celebration of the Club.
The Celtic FC Festival will be massive, taking up all 20,000sq/m of exhibition space the SEC has to offer, and will be a great day out for all the family. From the moment fans enter the Celtic FC Festival, they will be entering into the wonderful world of Celtic.

Moving through the space, fans will be met by lots of fantastic football activities, such as free-kick, penalty-kick and crossbar challenges, along with other fun elements such as head tennis and football darts, to name a few. The hall will be filled with great interaction for all.

Not only will the world’s biggest Celtic superstore have all the new season 2019/20 kits, it will also host the official and exclusive launch of the new third kit. In addition, fans will be entertained by on-going fashion shows, showcasing all the new kits, training gear and much, much more.

The show theatre will be the place to see some very familiar faces sharing their stories about the club and what it is like to have been part of the Celtic Family.

‘If You Know The History’ will walk you through the corridors of Celtic’s history from 1888 to the present day. Re-live it all, from Brother Walfrid, to the Lisbon Lions, to the Double Treble and current legends who continue to this day to make history for Celtic.

Fans can get up close to the famous trophies Celtic have won – and, yes, the iconic European Cup will be there in all its glory!

Lets hope the Treble Treble is secured to ensure maximum attendance…we haven’t had confirmation there will be a Peter Lawwell waxwork to get your photo taken \ throw cabbages at yet.

4: Sadder News

Sad to hear the passing of Angie Thomson, the Celtic laundry lady of many years has passed away. The Tweeted messages of condolence from players including Craig Burley and Mark Burchill were nice to read and its clear Angie was very highly and very dearly thought of by all at Celtic over the years. Our thoughts are with her family.

Best wishes too of course to the Celtic fans attacked in the City centre.

5: Saints alive!

Tonight we head to Paisley to take on St Mirren who have stepped off the bottom of the league. The weathers shit. the teams tired and the opposition are fighting for their lives. Hopefully we can squeeze through and a good use of available personnel would be welcome if not unavoidable. Just how bad is Timo Weah in training if he isn’t even getting a sniff at game time lately…maybe tonight is the night for him and Burke to once again light up the Scottish game.

Rangers have Hearts at home and while they should win, they are missing their goalscorer and Dafty Halliday so 3pts aren’t guaranteed against a Hearts side that are doing okay just now including “bullying Aberdeen to defeat” at the weekend according to Scott McKenna.

Fingers crossed and we could be at least 15 clear come 10pm tonight and looking at a reall scary Sunday in Motherwell for Stevie G this weekend.

6: Res 12 becomes Web 12

Our friends at Resolution 12 have got a new website up and running.

They haven’t gone away you know Messrs Lawwell and Doncaster.

Check them out at http://res12.uk/

 

 

Ok so that’s me….Anything else we have missed that’s worth discussing?

Good of you to step into the breach. Always a tad concerned when familiar faces don’t appear with the usual regularity.

Morelos has only three games left to cement his position as Thug/Twat of the Century. Expect the final Glasgow Derby to be Match Three of the split,they won’t want to take the chance that he receives another yellow before that and another totting-up ban.

Or a red,come to that.

Of course,he shouldn’t have been playing on Sunday anyway after his attack on Clubfoot,but heyho. That backfired nicely.

In other news,I know that RALPH was copied in on a mail from AULDHEID re Res 12. They have set up their own site in order that the whole fiasco be aired for all to see. I’ve covered it,with appropriate links,here.

https://sentinelcelts.com/2019/04/03/its-all-about-accountability/

The site contains some mind-blowing stuff,and anyone with an interest in justice and accountability should have a look. Grab a stiff drink and put your feet up,it’s a long read. The Res 12 site,that is,not ours-we just c&p this particular one!

It’s long overdue James Forrest received the recognition of what he brings to Celtic, long overdue.
Once again he scores a vital goal in a crunch game, he deserves to be praised & recognised for his efforts.
James doesn’t dominate games from start to finish, he isn’t always a motm candidate but he CAN be depended on to come up with big goals, he does it regularly.
Time for him to have his own song & let this guy hear it, he brings a lot to the Celtic table.

He always has!

RATTLESNAKES was a tremendous album at a great time for Scottish bands. And without name-dropping,I met most of them,plus a future fantastic Celtic goalscorer in The QMU back in the day.

Thanks for stepping in and freshening up the blog. Inhope all is well with Ralph. He is an institution in the blogging world.

Another vital game today. Three points are three points whether taken from St Mirren or Sevco.

Changes needed in the line up but here is the rub……too many and the performance on the park usually suffers. Indo hope, tho, that Tierney is rested. Hayes deserves another chance as does Henderson.

Here is a thought for a discussion………who is the most exciting player to break through this season? It could be a promotion from the ranks, or a loanee, or a player that found extraordinary form.

My choice? Catch you later!

That would be my choice. Other candidates would be Ajer, Henderson, Burke, Benkovic, and Bain. Nearly made it candidates would be Johnson, Hayes.

That is all that come to mind.

Oh, and there is Brendan……who nearly made it but ducked out of the voting.

Reply to  Rebus67

Christie would be a popular choice although basically for a short purple patch in November.

I’d rule out Benkovic and Burke, as I don’t consider £15m players to be in this category in Scotland.

Henderson, Johnston and Hayes just haven’t played enough to be considered.

Ajer’s looking good at the mo but has been regularly dropped as so-called better defenders are recalled.

That for me leaves Bain, who’s been a permanent fixture since his reintroduction and looks set fair to continue.

He’s the equal of Gordon in terms of shot-stopping but his distribution is far superior and doesn’t lead to palpitations any time he has the ball at his feet!

Reply to  The Cha

Cha,

I cannot disagree with too much of what you say but I shall try. Firstly, I think you are too harsh in your judgement of Christie. During his “purple” patch he was everywhere, running his socks off. He has relaxed a little as he secured his starting position. His absence is felt at the mo as the team lacks urgency in midfield.

Perhaps I should have been more precise in what I intended. “Breakthrough” was the wrong word. I should have said something like “impact” so as to include mercenaries like Benkovic, but I didn’t so I am hung by my own cord.

Bain has been putstanding and is another rags to riches story.

Hopefully Huns lose tonight so we can win the league on Saturday.

Then after the SF against Aberdeen we can rest players against before the Cup Final.

I don’t think anyone has been outstanding this season but all have played their part.
Benkovic brought a real toughness to the defence that was sorely needed and the old campaigners have played their part. But agree that Jamesy just gets the nod for player of the season ahead of Calmac. Sadly injuries has stopped us from playing our free flowing style not helped by refs allowing our players to be hacked down at every oppertunity. The one player to come through for me is Ewan Henderson I think we have a star in the making and a future Broonie.
Tonight could be tricky Saints are fighting for their lives but some do need a rest.
Be interesting to see how Lenny lines them up.

Ralston Tierney McGregor Henderson Johnston never played under Lenny the first time (the latter 2 had only just stopped breast feeding!)

Izzy was brought back under Rodgers and hasn’t featured this time.

Bitton played under Rodgers and hasn’t featured in last few games.

Lustig also reappeared under Rodgers, as Toljan struggles to get up to speed.

Broonie and Forrest are probably our best 2 players.

The Zebra Finance issue is a blessing in disguise IMO for the club.

It’s used by Celtic & supporters because clubs historically want 100% of the season ticket money up front, while paying customers often need to spread out the cost over the year. Enter Zebra Finance to bridge the timing difference. The downside here is that Celtic doesn’t get 100% of the proceeds from Zebra – they take their cut to cover the cost of providing the loan as well as the risk that some customers will default (unemployment, death, etc).

With the amount of cash Celtic has in the bank, along with their credit line, there’s no need for Celtic to have all the season ticket money up front. And there’s DEFINITELY no reason for them to take a haircut on the proceeds just to have the cash a few months early.

If the club were smart, they would come up with their own payment plan and simply handle it internally going forward. If they’re ever in a position where they need the cash up front (for summer transfers or whatever), the line of credit will offer them a better deal than Zebra was giving them…

St Mirren, the only team in our league that have had an injury list comparable to ours in size since the start of the season. Two of their players are just back after lay-offs: veteran defender Gary Mackenzie and striker Danny Mullen, both of whom played well against Dundee last weekend. Midfield playmaker Ryan Flynn is pretty decent. The Paisley saints have improved quite a lot in recent weeks and are fighting very well to avoid the drop so this could be a tough one.

It’s a chance to help erase that nasty memory of the 0-0 slog we suffered when we played them here last September in what was a wierd match. It was Oran Kearney’s debut as manager so his boys came out all guns a blazing for the first half hour but, right after Oli Ntcham’s deserved red card, they parked the bus for the rest of the game. Despite most of our players having real howlers that night, we still piled on the pressure and missed a few real sitters. Tonight I hope to see a strong side fielded with plenty of strength and mobility up front, where we need to be much more clinical. I don’t think Benkovic is fit for this game and KT shouldn’t be risked. I also doubt very much if big Marve Compper will come straight into the team but he might make the bench. We just need the 3 points on the board but if the bhoys put on a bit of a show, that would be a nice bonus.

No manager of the Huns/Orcs has ever been criticised or questioned as to strategy or ability. It reached a peak with Wattie who was totally off limits.
Gerrard doesn’t know how lucky he is. Nothing he has done has ever been put under the spotlight so he keeps deluding himself. Sometimes criticism is helpful but not being criticised leads to some pretty bizarre notions. Everything Stevie G utters now is deluded crap.

CELTIC ENGAGE NEW SEASON TICKET FINANCE PROVIDER
By: on 03 Apr, 2019 17:37

Following on from issues encountered by a number of football clubs last week with Zebra Finance, Celtic is pleased to announce that it has appointed a new finance partner, V12 Retail Finance, to offer and administer season ticket payment options.

We are currently working with V12 on all operational matters, with a view to ensuring supporters are able to apply online for this service as soon as possible. We are aiming to ensure this service will be available next week at the latest.

Please note, we have already had confirmation from Zebra Finance that any supporters who have completed the application process with Zebra Finance and received a successful confirmation email from Zebra Finance will not be affected and no further actions are required. The Club will communicate a confirmation of such season ticket renewals in accordance with the applicable process.

Supporters who had begun or submitted an application with Zebra Finance and who have not received a successful confirmation email, will be able to re-apply with V12 should they wish to.

We thank our supporters for their patience and understanding with regards to this matter.

Anyway, I quit very early on the ‘club’ shite about something at the SECC. In the hope it goes extremely well, so well that the PLC board decide to stay at the SECC, then I’d support THAT, cash and voice.

For ALL the wrong reasons, I’ve a soft spot for St Mirren.
They stood tall with us, and ensured that Mowbray was finally sacked. It wiznae worth the 4-0 humiliation, but the bigger picture was satiated. Mowbray went.Every cloud has a silver lining?

Sunday’s game has been well covered. Big Kris a stand-out along with our Captain, James Forrest and Eddie.

Tonight we must see a better performance from Neil after Sunday’s negativity. Of course, beating any form of hun, new or old, is top priority, but it shouldn’t blind a good manager from seeing the obvious chance to hammer them fucks without reply. Ollie was a stand-out choice and we got Rogic? WTF? Johnny Hayes pulled for Sinclair? Okay Johnny carrying a yellow but why Sinclair who’s done little for many months?
Anyway, we won the game and probably 8-in-a-row. Time to up the ante (from 10) and be talking of 12-15 IAR and the ‘concommitent’ death of the new huns.

” Anytime, anywhere ” – Robert De Niro – Taxi Driver

Reply to  Monti

Monti, ditto.
Taxi Driver, one of my all-time favourite films.
A real classic performance from De Niro and classic direction (can’t remember who directed it, but 5 *****.)
Probably made De Niro and we’re all the better for it; he’s peerless.
“Once Upon A Time In America” is a wee bit of class too. De Niro and James Woods plus, plus.
Director escapes me here too, but he was fucking good. Tarantino must have been clever enough to learn (without plagiarising) from those directors and then to come up with classics like Reservoir Dogs, Pulp Fiction, et cetera. Anyway, enough of this shit.
“Anytime, anywhere” is cool for me too.
Have a good sleep, wake up happy and thank your lucky stars you were born a Tim.
Any and all of our little differences can be sorted out far away from eTims.

Monti, you can call me just about anything, I don’t give a fuck, but anything conflated with ‘another’ Gascoigne, a flute-playing, wife-beating, terminal fucking arsehole like “Gazza”, well, Pal, a bridge (a desert?) too far for Monti,

Where did I say anything about agreeing with what is going on regarding other issues??

If you would look back at my previous posts and had a memory better than a goldfish then you would see I don’t subscribe to any of that either…but I don’t need to explain my views to you. This is a post about the fuckin wankers in our support who continue to do this.

I think you will find the majority of fans are in agreement with this view that we need to get them rooted out and removed from our support base. So it is you that is in the minority if you think this is acceptable behaviour.

You are obviously too stupid to realise what the impact of such idiotic behaviour is going to bring down on us. Do you even understand the implications of strict liability??

It is being brought before the Scottish government by James Dornan MP with cross party support already which means it will be debated and potentially legislated into law if their is enough consensus.

Points deductions, stadium closures anyone??

go and educate yourself and don’t ever presume you know anything about what I think regarding other issues…bawbag!

Are you going to level your pathetic come backs at these guys as well??

Couldn’t have put it better myself….I think you will find it is the opinion of vast majority of Celtic fans. As I said…..YOU are the one that needs your opinions re-calibrated.

Have a nice day.

And btw its Bryan no Brian….I’m from Scotland and as such the Scottish equivalent of my nomenclature is spelt with a Y. but seeing as you are so thick that thought probably hadn’t entered your tiny little mind!

The stupidity of the so called Celtic supporter that flung the cracker, what a moron, would be better served joining the zombies. He is not a fan of the team.
That was cringe worthy, the Buddies are not a team that needs three defenders, Lenny playing safe again. But the Huns will wallow in the cracker, justifies their shit!

The GB have made Celtic money no doubt about it. They have been great and embarassing in equal measures. That firecracker was like a bomb going off no need for that flares ok for me but not the firecrackers. It’s easy to sort it came from one section of the stadium where Celtic know who have the tickets find the culprit should be easy.

All else aside, The Celts won 2-0 away tonight.
There was once a brilliant piece of acting by Tim McInerny (or similar name, of Blackadder fame) when asked if he was “happy”. He thought briefly, and then said “satisfied”.
Tonight I’m not “happy” but I’m kinda “satisfied”. It’s another game gone, another 3 points won, as we go for the 8, yes EIGHT, and OPENLY state from the PLC, “We’re going for 55”, not a total, a PHONY total, another filth’s dreams, BUT, 55 IN A ROW. That’ll fuck a few heads in Scotia and beyond.

That was a terrible performance tonight. Just terrible! Can nobody shoot from the edge of the area?

What did we learn? The original formation was punchless. Burke is not a centre although he tried hard enough. I feel sorry for him. I feel he has lost his way but desperately wants to stay at Celtic.If he has a chance of a place, it would be as a replacement for Sinclair on that wing, but his price will probably mean that he will go back to WBA.

Weah flatters to deceive. Despite not being good in the air, he scored with his head. He had an open goal and still managed to head it onto the bar but got lucky.

The plan to play Forrest through the middle, interchanging with Burke failed yet again. The previous manager tried this too with the same result.

So, with misfiring forwards and the lack of a creative player in midfield, we struggled to kill off a very limited team.

Thank goodness for Christie….although I thought it was too early for him to be risked. Let us hope he stays fit.

Out of the team tonight, who would I like to see leave and be replaced? Izzy, who was caught up the park too often, Burke and Weah , as above. But especially, Ntcham who was a shadow of his former self. Too slow, too keen to make the easy pass sideways and too careless.

Best on the night: Bain for an excellent save from a surprise shot; Ajer and Simo, Christie for his cameo on how an attacking mid should play, and occasionally McGregor.

I wanted to see the loanees; I saw the loanees and was not impressed.

Since I can’t connect tonight, I just hope that the result is pleasing as we proceed to 8 in a row.
Lovely, under-estimated, 8 in a row.
Anyway, my roots, spirit and choice is celebratory (whilst I also battle ‘the black dog’). Ignoring the frustration of chasing our game tonight, I reflected on games gone by. It was difficult to describe my anger, humiliation et cetera when we lost to the new scum in the 2016/17 SC semis.
But we’d lent Liam Henderson to Hibs.
Stokesy too, who was over-joyed as he helped put that scum to the sword.
The defining moment……….Liam’s corner is met by Gray’s head and it’s game over…. Hibs 3 -new huns 2.
Sunshine On Leith (at Hampden), here ye go… (latest Celts 2-0 at Love Street)

CS, you’re normally there or thereabouts and reference your opinion with fact. Hmmmm….FACT, a ‘commodity’ I thought our ‘wee rock’ was losing.
I don’t always agree with you, but you enrich this site regularly, despite having to somehow tolerate high levels of pish. Don’t be put off; you make more sense and substance than most.

Thanks Monti (11.25PM), for illustrating, nay highlighting, my point at 10.40 PM.
CS has proven his points, time and time again on here with FACTUAL back-up. He also separates his (backed-up) facts from his opinion clearly.
You have a propensity to scrawl “PISH” rather than submit objective argument.
End of, good on ye, CS, keep it up and I look forward to a “Taxi Driver” moment with Monti.
Back to reality, we MUST be looking (pragmatically) at 15+ in a row. We’re untouchable now, financially and the scum are going even closer to the sewers. The ONLY barrier we may face will be from within. Peter Lawwell is a fucking bean-counter, not a supporter. If his beans are not adding up, HE’LL throw a spanner in the works to save the new huns. Reprehensible bastard that he is, he’s not untouchable.
