Celtic Diary Saturday April 13: Cool Heads Required
After my punishing work schedule, the diary returns ( punishing work schedule, you’ll never get anyone to believe that-Ed) for more fun, frolics and frivolity.
It’s cup weekend, and Celtic have another one of those season defining games tomorrow with a short trip to Hampden to face Aberdeen, where it will be established if there’s still a chance of a third consecutive treble.
Neil Lennon will be in charge for the game, regardless of what you may want or read in the papers, and he has the full backing of the players.
If only he could count on the full backing of the support.
A lot of the grumbles, eagerly fed by the media, surround his record at Hampden in the first years of the decade. Defeats to Ross County, St Mirren , Hearts and Kilmarnock have led some to proclaim the Irishman has a Hampden hoodoo, despite winning a couple of cups there.
He moved to dismiss our fears..
“A lot’s been made of that this week but I can’t get those games back and in a few of them we should have won but we didn’t.
“Call it Lady Luck or a curse or whatever, I’m not into that superstitious stuff.
“Sometimes, it’s just what happens on the day. I don’t think we played badly in any of the games at all and I won two out of four cups.
“It’s all right, but compared to Brendan, it’s not, because you have to be perfect to match that record.
“I look back on some of the games we lost, you think, ‘is it a psychological thing?’
“But whatever I missed Brendan obviously remedied with this squad of players.
“I might be giving him a call tonight or tomorrow just to get a bit of advice from him…”
Yeah, and ask him why we’ve got a squad of about three hundred and a bloated wage bill while you’re at it.
What is important is that whatever happened at Hamoden nearly ten years ago is irrelevant now. These players have won a few trophies there recently, and are well used to the place.
That hasn’t stopped an outbreak of the collywobbles though, and a lot of it is backed up by recent match statistics which imply that Lennon is not up to the job of managing the side, although the statistics seem to reflect a tired team that is being urged to go that final mile during the business end of the season.
Less goals scored , fewer convincing performances and so on point more to fatigue than a lack of management, although he has amde an arse of a couple of things of late, notably the Rogic appearance against “rangers “.
Reminscent of Ambrose versus Juventus, Lennon fielded a player who clearly wasn’t fit, which allowed the Ibrox side to feel they might get something from the game, and gave us all the collywobbles for about half an hour or so.
The man has a dilemma. does he change things around to allow a freshness back into the side, or does he stick with the regulars and try to coax one more big result out of them.
Whatever he does, if it goes wrong, he’ll be vilified.
Even if it goes right, he’ll be told that he could have done it with more style. In fact, pre-Lennon, Rodgers was sending us all to sleep with his turgid efforts as well, and its too late to teach the players something new.
And far too risky.
The same goes for any new manager next season.
With ten in a row now just a couple of seasons away, does the board want to risk a new face ?
Especially given the curious nature of the Scottish media and the SFA.
The new man, should he be Benitez-has met Desmond, Villas Boas-has met Desmond, or even Gordon Strachan, who has met Desmond, but presumably only for advice,
Then again, if meeting Desmond suggests that someone is on a short list for the hot seat, we could really be in trouble..
The board, conservative in politics and outlook, are unlikely to risk upheaval at this crucial point in history.
Despite names such as Mourinho and moyes being mentioned, Lennon is their preferred option, simply as a safe pair of hands, but they will give him a few quid to spend in the summer, and a few players will move on.
It appears will be allowed to reshape the team rather than rebuild it, with a couple of defenders and a striker a priority.
The system used on the pitch just now is getting results, but other sides have countered it and a new approach is required, but one the players can handle.
One that they have confidence in.
The speculation will continue, the supporters will continue to moan, but Lennon can handle that.
Ask yourself if you think a new manager would, especially if he happened to draw 0-0 with Livingston…
Elsewhere, and the drive to make Peter Lawwell and his yes-men take notice of shareholders concerns about lost income continues.
Resolution 12 now has a website, which I’m sure you’ve all read…come on, you’ve had all week, and now that all the evidence is out there, its time to take back the smoking gun from wherever Peter hid it and use it ourselves.
We can start with pressure from certain supporters groups..the Affiliation, for instance, has already declared its intentions..
Our members support the Res12 guys and we have asked the club on numerous occasions to act in the best interests of the fans.
The Celtic Supporters Association may be included alongside that, but one wonders if its possible for them to clarify their stance.
The Celtic Trust are usually up for a battle, and again getting them onside is important.
All the information they need, all the evidence of wrongdoing required to ask questions of Lawwell is in here..
They then can make an informed decision on whether or not to help hit Peter with his smoking gun that took so much work to find.
The supporters and the shareholders have been led a merry dance, and the club, our club, has been neglected by those in charge who are paid a handsome sum to look after its interests.
Because something is bugging me, as a wise man put it..
There is an alternative view that if it is company fraud then its a City of London Police job.
Of course the possibility exists that no fraud took place at all , that RFC complied with Article 50 in March 2011 and Articles 66 and 67 in June and September which is what Res12 was trying to establish, but had that been the case it surely would have been presented by now?
Indeed, the old “if you’ve nothing to hide “argument is applicable here. So one can only assume that there is something to hide. ( Acutally, we’re convinced there is, see the evidence on the site, and you’d think someone would have pointed out we were all wrong by now if that was the case.. )
The 200% web site sets out a succinct case why Res12 matters, which in turn makes a strong case for SFA reform if the SFA are prepared not to investigate possible criminality.
Not a position their Compliance officers would want to be in surely?
The SFA might wish to use the Judicial Panel Protocol to hide the truth but enough of it is out there to suggest a crime took place. Of course if the victims are ok with that then its over and the SFA will remain untrusted, but at least we know our game is corrupt from top to toe, as opposed to thinking it is.
As for the Celtic Trust and the CSA, are they considering the implications if the Board continue with current passive policy when it appears Celtic have been victims of fraud ?
Former Celtic manager Benny Ratters was the subject of an article I happened to stumble on the other day.
Have a look, see if you can spot a pattern..
Speaking of patterns, he was burbling on about how he was going to build Leicester in the memory of the former owner who died in a helicopter crash, which drew comparisons with his Tommy Burns dedications during his early time with Celtic.
Time to lighten things up a wee bit…
Julian Assange, the Wikileaks man who released footage of US war crimes has finally been dragged out of the Ecuadorian Embassy and joins an ever lengthening list of journalists who are being arrested for their work.
He was then forced to appear in front of a Judge, and faced further humiliation when the police gave him a change of clothes..
We need a strong and free media. Look at what happens when it’s gone, the SMSM , for instnace, are reduced to a mere PR outlet, and we only get to hear about what they want us to hear about.
It’s much more serious, of course, when governments are involved, and when one of those governments is run by right wing religious extremists then we’re all in trouble. As in the USA, where the Talibangelistics hold sway..
Sometimes what they say can slip into common usage almost unnoticed, and its important to call them out when they spout their nonsense.
By the way, as you may have noticed, my work pattern has changed, and I’m considering another career move.
Rangers fans offered chance to work at Ibrox with hospitality jobs including Suite Supervisor
Argyle House, the stadium’s official restaurant, is on the hunt for staff to join their team
Hospitality ? At Ibrox ?
Thats my ghast all flabbered again.
Oban on Twitter was game for a laugh and popped down to the ground for an application form. popped down for an interview, but was dismayed by the size of the queue..
@Scotlandclare on Twitter held a wee poll the other day, in response to Irishman tom english from the Scotsman who himself held a poll which revealed that 76% of those who responded didn’t want Neil Lennon to get the Celtic job on a full time basis.
Her poll turned out to be surprisingly closer than I thought it would be…
Would be interested to hear Celtic fans view on this…Should Tom English get to fuck?
93% Yes
7% No.
I think Tom should take note, and duly get to fuck, as its what the people clearly want.
Although he did help the people at one time…
Impartial and investigative journalism at its best.
I’ve emailed the US government to tell them he’s got pictures of Ivanka Trump in the bath.
Which reminds me-don’t ask me how…
Which in turn reminds me..
Finally as of today #upskirting is an offence
Those prosecuted will face: 
Two years in prison 
Being placed on the sex offenders register I’m delighted to have played my part in the campaign by @ginamartin_uk and @ryantwhelan to ban this degrading practice.
Ross is of course the MP accused of not upskirting, but down trousering in a House of Commons bar.
Or, as Derek McInnes would tell him, making the mistake of judging a man by his semi.
Todays we bring back the caption competition, amd with a a promise that the Diary isn’t ready to retire just yet.
Heres one to ponder
Practising for his upcoming appearance on Stars In Their Eyes, Neil Lennon tries out his Peter Crouch robot dance moves at Lennoxtown.

As for Ross’s claim about up skirting, it’s crap.mits been illegal since 2010 here and he has nothing to do with it. Whose trousers is he going to try and get into now?

So KT at Right Back and Lustig at Left Back?
Canny see the logic in that myself.
when did logic ever matter a fuck on here mate?
You do make a valid point Maryhillbhoy 🙂
So u on here cannae see the logic myself.
I take it u haven’t played football before, some players actually enjoy playing on opposite sides to how their footed, baw bag

Welcome back, the diary was sorely missed, mass suicides, sheep slaughtering and a huge increase in Valium prescriptions. And also thank him for his invincible season, two trebles and the opportunity to win a never done before third treble, plus the reported £9.00 mill. in compensation, the Dembelle £20.00 mill. and all the rest of the cash injection, that came with his tenure. Peter will be very pleased.
The moral dilemma, do you continue to support the team, knowing that those who run the club will do nothing to right the wrong of corrupt governance, of course you do because the players, the team and its management are innocent of any wrongs done by others. But the fight for Res.12 must go on, if only to get an open and an honest game. If we don’t then what happened before, will happen again, in fact we see the very same traits across the water happening now. A convicted criminal, who shields the truth away from prying eyes and we all know the reasons as to why he is doing that. So good luck to Lenny and his team and GIRUT, they hate our success, hate it. COYBIG.
I think that the Celtic support, “God bless each and everyone of them” are sick to their back teeth of being treated like second class citizens. Some are filled with disgust at how their clergy are being spat apon, told an endless diatribe of lies by the so called Scottish press. Sick of those who have abused them for centuries, sick of being cheated by those in power of Scottish football, treated like livestock by those in blue uniforms. Rightfully their kind and generous hearts are filled with pride in their club and to GIRU Those scum that have lorded over us for years. They rely on people like Auldheid and Ralph, to highlight the injustices and to keep them informed. They are the watchmen who have their backs.
Oh, we CAN, SHOULD, MUST, question the board, absolutely must try to find out what they do with the business side of our club. Why do they not question the BBC. press, et al ? why do they put up with that? I have absolutely no idea, but I could hazard a guess and that would be that nothing must interfere with the income, the money-ball of income stream. I also said “SOME are filled with disgust at their clergy being spat upon, some, not all.
I think the biggest problem is many still view it simply as a Club.
It has long since lost ant semblance of a Football Club.
This is purely a business to the men in sharp suits.
A global money maker with a wide and varied customer base.
The Football Team is the product to them but of course not the only product just the main money making aspect of a multi layered business.
It’s that Romantic notion that some still cling onto that they prey on the most.
That strong pull that Celtic Fc has on each and every one of us in varying levels.
They manipulate and massage that feeling in order to get the most out of it they can.
Minimum outlay for maximum profit.
Some are just happy to watch a victorious Celtic winning things and as long as we aren’t in any financial trouble that’s all that matters.
If they had 60,000 of these type guaranteed they would be the happiest men in football.
The lights,the upgrades are all part of it.
Jingle jangle look at the shiny,shiny whilst we help ourselves to the trough if you don’t mind?
Even if you do we will anyway,
Been saying it for long enough now unless the Support takes control it will Forever be more of the same.
So what’s the point in moaning about it if you have no urge or drive to change it?
Having a well run Club that is an actual Club and not a Corporate Business dressed as one really would be something to shout about.
I fear that ship has sailed now.
I still harbour a bit of Hope one day it will change.
Until then my money stays put.

Missed your comment dis week Ralphue, grt to see back.
Not overly worried about the semi, should be 2_0
Tellin ye Bhoys of we win the Treble I’ll River Dance across the Clyde and dae a big jobby on the marble staircase.
Neil Lennon brought on Tom Rogic (just back from injury) against 2angers in the hope his knack for changing games would turn the tide back again in the 2nd half.
Tom was poor on the day and as a result we lost the upperhand in Midfield for 25 minutes.
We won the game regardless.
Brendan Rodgers on the other hand fielded an unfit Emilio Izaguirre against Valencia and more or less fucked the chance of a last 16 berth in the Europa League.
In the game at Ibrox in December he fielded Callum McGregor at Left Back had an unfit Kieran Tierney on the bench and left the back up left Hayes on the bench even though he was 100% match fit.
Resulting in our Midfield getting overrun and us getting gubbed on the day 1-0 (5-1 might have been a better reflection).
Can we say more accurate, better never seems appropriate for a huns win☹️
Absolutely Maryhill.
It would have been a more accurate reflection of the game.
Watched the hearts game big black guy iky something is a handful. Massive body almost unplayable should be a heavyweight boxer. Can only see benkovic being man enough to handle him. They’re not great but they are our bogey team they’ve had more success against us than any other team. It’s their dynamic it’s brutal and uncomplicated but effective. I’m sure if we play keep ball against them we will win easily. Aberdeen? A bit the same but we have their measure. Looking forward to both games
Buzz it sounds like you’re looking for answers, and attention. Sign of a narc, needling everyone who wants to talk about the game ahead or anything else football related. Is it your wish to be a fuckwit? I’m not bothered there’s always someone on here antagonising another for no apparent reason apart from the enjoyment of bullying someone. Narc sign number 2 . What’s the point? Narcissistic supply? Are you hurt by a Monti comment that was made years ago that spiralled your life to a hopeless nadir? Is he that significant to you? I come in here for a laugh and to read the banter and enjoy some of the company in here , that’s the extent of it. Malignant narcissism is untreatable. Look it up. Research Sam vaknin

Welcome back Ralph. Have to disagree with you re Assange. Yes he was entirely right to expose the evils of the American war machine in Iraq and Afghanistan. Lost any ounce of respect for him when he clearly helped influence the victory for Trump by publishing lots of shit on Hillary Clinton but somehow couldn’t find anything on that piece of shit in the White House. Every day America continues daily to commit atrocities in Yemen and Syria to name just two but somehow he can’t find any evidence about that.
May we burn him?
So, logically…it’s a fair cop.
Who`ld believe a Bloody Aussie?
It never matters when those in charge are painting a masterpiece to be flogged to the highest private bidder.

There you go Weered, sticking your fucking ignorant nose in to ‘back up’ anyone whom you deem as a ‘friend’ vs anyone you deem as an ‘enemy’. I’ve pointed out your weak, schoolgirl associations on here, ever since you stumbled upon this site.
You’re a fucking blood-clot from your essene; a fanny.
Buzz Bomb, agree with him in general or don’t, was stating a fact and correcting the other “BB”.
I stand alone in my views and will back them in any way I see fit. I don’t seek to, nor would, join any fucking playground ‘mates’, regardless of whether I agreed or disagreed with their *viewpoint*.
*Viewpoint*, regarding the written word, it’ss seldom accurate enough and more often than not ambiguous; it’s what lawyers, liars and their ilk thrive upon.
Well done The Wonderful Glasgow Celtic today and if the sheep are gurning at two players sent off they should watch the game again and ask how did that snide rat Ferguson get away with what he did for so long. And Ball’s 2nd yellow was actually a straight red. Fuck the sheep an’ a’ “ewes” hurtin’ hun bastards who are lurking on here. Zombie fucks.

You know SIC means spelling is correct right?
Buzz Bomb, I’ve got to say that I don’t agree with some/a lot of what you write, but the above comment was a balanced, intelligent put-down of an oft arrogant man. Well said.
BTW, as I’ve stated often, I seek neither ‘friends’ nor ‘enemies’ on here, I wont join any ‘club’; but by fuck, if enemies I sought, I’d have a field day. End of day we’re all Tims (barring Zombie lurkers of course) and I see the value on excersising mutual respect. I’ve let myself down on here at times and I understand that. But I’m no fucking sacrificial lamb, not now, not ever.
If everyone takes ownership of their own shit we can discard all the nonsense and focus on the job. The job of supporting our team and management and vociferously (and with myriad other actions) bringing down the tory scum whom sit in our Boardroom, and any scum billionaire, fucking parasites to a man, who happens by.

The oracle has spoken…
Regarding the (continuous) British rule of Eire, I don’t think it was revealed by PMGB nor any other blogger. But it was foreseen, as James Connolly had stated (prior to his murder by the British state in May 1916) the following:
“If you remove the English Army tomorrow and hoist the green flag over Dublin Castle., unless you set about the organization of the Socialist Republic your efforts will be in vain. England will still rule you. She would rule you through her capitalists, through her landlords, through her financiers, through the whole array of commercial and individualist institutions she has planted in this country and watered with the tears of our mothers and the blood of our martyrs.” THAT’s not new.
Anyway, I make the point; it’s not debatable.
I’m not interested in listening to, nor being part of, any little clique on here. I do as I please without reference to anyone, unless it directly involves someone for whom I care.
To ‘charlie’, I had a chuckle at your ‘odds’ post for today/Sunday. I’ll wager £500 now that you’ve got it all wrong regarding myself.I wont be in the Gallowgate (early) today (which has already gone) nor at any time today or tomorrow. It’s got fuck all to do with me and I’m far too busy sorting stuff out at home.

Seems to me like there is an Irish Republic and it is separate from the U.K. and is free from U.K. control. An independent Irish Republic. Those who live there vote freely and have decided their own government. If you see something else do tell ???

At times they are manipulated by the so called great and the good, using divide and conquer to rule the stupid mob

“In fact, pre-Lennon, Rodgers was sending us all to sleep with his turgid efforts as well”
Really?
In 2019 before Lennon we won 9 games, combined score 26-1 and playing some great football.
I must be living in a parallel universe. 🙁
Cha your statement regarding the 2019 form is true but much of our footballaway from parkheadthis season was turgid, sleep inducing and generally substandard and I think we have to acknowledge that reality mate.
Agreed.
We won every game at Parkhead this season until the change of the manager.
We Took 5 off of “top of the league” Hearts & Killie, 4 a couple of times and 3 several times.
We also completely outplayed the Hun and should’ve taken a lot more than the 1 we did off them.
Our away form, on the other hand, was very poor…in 2018.
If the change of manager happened in January after the horror show at Ibrox then I’d understand the comments but it didn’t.
– we utilised the break and training camp very well to get our mojo back
– we got great reinforcements in Burke & Weah
– we then played and won 9 games, including difficult away games against St Johnstone & Killie.
That is the team that Lennon took over not the misfiring one last year.
Circular debate that’s been done to death in Ralph’s absence.
You judge a teams performance over a Season not just one part of it.
The team Lennon took over just had their Manager walk out on them without so much of a warning or goodbye.
A fact you seem to fail to either comprehend or take into account when reviewing the results under Lennon.
Which incidentally have been favourable on the whole,
He hasn’t lost a game YET.
Current form is crucial, especially in Cup games.
This was terrific when Lennon took over and has nosedived.
2 0-0 home draws when we previously had a 100% record.
2 injury time winners to beat an out of form team, who had 10 men, and the other bottom of the league.
A late winner required to beat 10 men Huns.
Only 2nd half Hibs and 1st half Huns good performances, approx 15%.
What do you find so great about that, as I’m genuinely confused.
Current form up until the guy who had been telling these players you are great,you are fantastic,we need to stay focused etc etc etc up sticks and dropped them like a shite down the lavvy at the first hunt of a wage rise and Premier League mediocrity.
The players mental state that had seen them turn it around after the Ibrox disaster (remember that?) was allof a sudden battered by this move by Rodgers.
You seem underestimate just how much of an impact that can have on a team which has already shown inconsistency this Season.
Lennon did not come in to change the game plan Cha he came in to steady a ship that was needing steadied and to consolidate our position on top of the table.
He’s not only achieved that aim he has also EXTENDED the lead by 3 points.
His second priority was to try win the Cup.
We are one stage further in that respect.
This side of it has proven anything in the last few weeks since this upheaval is it never gives up and you have to take us all the way to the final whistle to ensure any sort of victory.
In the past 7 Games under Neil Lennon we have created:
101 Chances and of those 34 were on target.
Of those 34 we have scored 9 of them.
The problem is in the finishing.
NOT the creation of chances.
The Football doesn’t need to be pretty at this stage of the Season it just needs to be effective Cha.
5 wins out of 7 and no losses is effective.
We need a win today though.
Let us hope our Strikers have their shooting boots on.

SFA spokesman was quoted as saying:
“All goats,they`re pre-party occupied.”
Alas poor Yoker I saw it all, Sevilla had so much of the ball, Betis tried like hard they tried, alas poor Yoker the Betis sighed, 3-2 to Sevilla. Sam (mutton chops) Cosgrove, ex of that huge English club Carlisle Utd. and trust me me, that is his level, indeed it is, so me nervous, no I’m not, the sheep are the nervous ones, as they head to the Hampden abattoir. But watch out for the Halal guys in black…
Celtic, Celtic, Celtic.
Don`t get mad,get Cosgrove horizontally challenged.
His value`ll never change.
Is Lewis Ferguson(only a wee word to) playing?
That lump can be a danger.
G’day Port, hope you’re keeping very well m8. How do you reckon we’ll get on today?
G`day Yoker Bhoy,we`re always well.
I reckon Neil Lennon will drag off those lacking spirit.
He hates the 65 minutes tippy tappy 1-0 result.
Callum McGregor hasn’t put a couple away for a while.
What a feat it`ll be for the treble this season.
PS: Bring on the left arm arc celebrations.
Enjoy the game Yoker Bhoy.
I effin love one-off games.
You too Port. All the best mate!
Morning Mikey, yeah a big disappointment last night. It was a pretty even game with some good football on show but there were also heaps of basic mistakes in both defence and attack. Striker Jesé Rodriguez was a brilliant prospect a few years ago at Real Madrid and is now a PSG player on loan to Betis. Last night, however, he played like a fucking dumplin’ who just couldn’t get anything right. He missed at least 4 sitters. Stunning goal from that free kick by Cristián Tello though, to pull it back to 3-2 and we pounded their goal towards the end but sadly Betis can practically kiss goodbye to any chances of European football next season.
That was important for me but a mere fraction of the importance that today’s semi against the sheep has. I still stick by my 1-0 prediction and expect the game to be a hard physical slog but you never know. We are really due a big performance and we have the players to pull that off. My hope is that the likes of Christie, Benko and Rogic are now a lot nearer to maximum fitness and sharpness after their respective lay-offs. I really rate the dandies’ 21 year old left back (on loan from Derby County) Max Lowe, who has been outstanding for them this season. He’d be ideal back up for KT so maybe a wee bid for him this summer could be in order? Among the other clubs in the SPL this season, it’s him and Livi keeper Liam Kelly who have impressed me the most.
Enjoy today to the full Mikey Bhoy and fingers crossed we can see our great club blast their way through to yet another final.
HH
A wonderful save by the Betis keeper Yoker, to keep the score at 1-0 to Sevilla, a big sell out crowd, but the “Cry was poor defending” only had time to watch the first half but your description of Rodriguez well that did make me laugh. Thing is our players have much more experience of the big games than the Dandies and that counts. We just need to perform to our capabilities and hope that lady luck is fair to us and that “Thompshun” is fair and honest. 2-0 to the bhoys is this bould bhoy’s prediction. COYBIG. Enjoy it Yoker and fingers crossed. 😉 <3
Yeah, that was a world class save by Pau López right enough to keep Betis in the game. Enjoy Mikey. Come on you Bhoys in green & white!!!
