Celtic Diary Saturday September 5: Tales of the Unexplained

Oddsone Edouard scored for the young French team last night.

Patryk Klimala scored for the young Poles.

 

Both were injured last week, and both couldn’t feature for Celtic, yet suddenly they’re all better …howeverm I’m quite sure an explanation will be forthcoming, though it won’t have any bearing on what is really going on.

 

We’ve seen that film where the players don’t trust the medics at Celtic Park before, and it doesn;t take a great leap to work out something isn’t right about this.

 

Unless, of course, one of the great saints is wandering Europe telling players to pick up their sick beds and play on.

 

 

Edouard then tweeted…

 

Focus on the next one @equipedefrance  

 

 

 

All of this means he should be ready for the Ross County game next Saturday, but we’ll wait and see.

 

Whilst Edouard scored from the spot for France, Klimala scored a great solo goal for Poland, beating around a dozen defenders before chipping the keeper from half a mile out with a splendid back heel, and surely must be in line for a start at some point.

 

With Vakoun Bayo also scoring a couple for his new club last weekend, one begins to wonder if Lennon fully understands what strikers are paid to do….

 

 

Scotland were inaction last night as well…the two words deliberately joined there to form a new word which describes the poor fare on offer.

 

Three Celts started the game, MacGregor , Forrest and Christie, and they all love playing for their country, but there must be times when they wonder if its worth it.

 

Still, at least they get some different voices moaning at them for their performances. A change is as good as a rest.

 

 

Speaking of the Ross County game next week, have you seen who they’ve signed just in time to make an appearance….

Andrew Dallas was wrong not to award Celtic penalty - but don't dare blame  it on his name says Charlie Richmond - Daily Record
 Well, they haven’t signed him, they’re merely renting him in the hope he can give as good a performance for them as he does for anyone who plays Celtic.
 Dallas needs no encouragement to influence Celtic games the way he and his employers want them to go. He constantly breaks up play when the hoops are in possession, books our more physical players early on to stop them being physical, and overlooks important incidents in our favour that could have a bearing on the result.
 Go to the bookies.
 Bet on Scott Brown and Shane Duffy being booked first.
 Also, bet on three Ross County bookings in the second half, as the match stats will then look quite evenly balanced, but Dallas’s real influence is in the time of the bookings.
 Of course, a compromised Peter Lawwell, Res 12, Old Firm brand etc, won’t say a word.
 The club will trumpet the line that if you’re good enough, referees don;t matter, but even though Jock Stein would say that in public, in private he conceded it was bollocks, which is why he would always intimidate referees and journalists alike, as he knew perfectly well what they were up to.
 With Shane Duffy , we might well have someone with that attitude on the pitch, but I’d give a gold pig to get someone like that either in management or PR, to stand up for the club when it becomes obvious that this season it’s a policy of Anyone but Celtic..copyright Paul Larkin….
 Operation STT…..Stop The Ten…is already in full swing.
But we knew that, and we knew it was coming…I just don’t see many signs of preparation…
 In fact, as a parallel thought, maybe this season is one to take stock of where we are as a club, what we want from the club, and where we are gong as an entity…
Auldheid gives us something to think about here…
 Well worth a look, and it does ask some pertinent questions
Elsewhere, and one face missing from the Scotland line up last night was that of “rangers ” goalkeeper Allan MacGregor , who has retired from international football to “protect his body “
 Even though he wasn’t working, it seems he couldn’t protect his car….as the Sun reports

COPS are probing a deliberate car blaze attack at the home of Rangers star Allan McGregor.

Emergency services were called to the Gers goalkeeper’s plush pad on the outskirts of Glasgow on Thursday after a 999 alert was raised.

The fireball incident was caught on video that showed flames leaping 6ft into the air.

A source said: “It was incredible, one of the cars sitting in the drive was fully alight, it was causing a huge commotion in what is normally a very quiet road.

“The homes around here are very expensive and it’s scary to think what could have happened, the flames were very close to the house.”

 The homes around here are very expensive….nice to see his neighbours have their priorities in order…someone could have died, but

the homes around here are very expensive  …. 

 

 

You can see a perplexed fireman being harassed by neighbours asking him to damp down the curtains because they’re not cheap you know…

 

 

 

The fire appears to have been deliberately started, and not just someone failing to make sure his fag had been correctly thrown through an open window, which makes me wonder who could have a grudge against yet another “rangers ” player and his car.

 

 

Is there a madman stalking Ibrox with a pathological hatred of the internal combustion engine ?

 

 

Or has Allan being hanging around with ruffians who have decided that he needs his wrists slapped ?

 

These ruffians don;t go to the police, but issue their own kind of sentences, and with such a high profile figure as MacGregor, it’s unlikely a punch on the nose would go uninvestigated by the police, and that would not do for those sort of chaps.

 

A car fire doesn’t merit high on a constables list of things to do, so like the flames themselves, this story will die down, but there will be one goalkeeper looking over his shoulder for a while….

 

Of course, I could be wrong, as MacGregor is such a fine, upstanding sort of chap who goes to church on a Sunday and reads books about horticulture and theology.

 

But some of the chaps who hang around his work…. oh my, you wouldn’t see them down at the local neighbourhood watch meetings.

 

Guys like these pair…. as reported in the Evening Times

 

 

TWO DRUNK bigots were caught singing a sectarian song and frightening young children.

Ross Pringle, 32, and Stephen Kane, 27, were snared by plain clothed police officers last July in Glasgow’s Cardonald.

The pair were clocked singing the Billy Boys as well as shouting and swearing in residential streets.

They were also spotted snorting a substance before Kane was found in possession of cocaine.

Pringle and Kane were found guilty at Glasgow Sheriff Court to behaving in a threatening or abusive manner aggravated by religious prejudice.

Kane was also convicted of possession of cocaine.

Sheriff Allan Findlay said: “I don’t accept shouting, swearing and singing the Billy Boys is an everyday Glasgow scene.”  

 

Sherriff Allan Findlay needs to get out more……..and just because it is an everyday occurence, that doesn’t make it  alright.

Its remembrance Saturday – The 5th of September 2020.
A season never to be forgotten, 1966-67.*
European Cup.*
Scottish Cup.
Scottish League Championship,
Scottish League Cup,
Glasgow Cup,
Scottish Reserve League Cup.
It started (with a kiss) in May the previous year- with an unbeaten tour in Bermuda, Canada, and the United States.
It finished in June 67, with a win in Spain over Real Madrid, forever known as Jinky day.
In between was the special year and the most brilliant record of club success, One that will never be equalled.
# Champions Again, Champions Again.

He’s keeping it well hidden given his team’s 3rd embarrassing Euro exit in little over a year and being wretchedly unable to comprehend that not giving backup strikers sufficient game time leads to them not being match-fit when they’re needed.

Perhaps I’m being unfair and only the likes of Klopp and Pep possess this knowledge, which is otherwise completely unknown to lesser mortals.

“Patryk Klimala scored for the young Poles…injured last week, and couldn’t feature for Celtic, yet suddenly all better”

Klimala wasn’t injured, he was deemed not match-fit to start (or play at all against Ferencvaros) by our genius manager who didn’t realise not playing him sufficiently in games would lead to this condition.

“The club will trumpet the line that if you’re good enough, referees don;t matter, but even though Jock Stein would say that in public, in private he conceded it was bollocks”

Not just in private, compare his reaction to Davidson at the end of the 1970 Cup Final. Its a nice feeling to win when you’re being cheated but sooner or later it will be the decisive factor if you don’t address it.

re Allan McGregor, don’t forget he has previous for claiming he was attacked by persons unknown when, in fact, it was his partner who attacked him after she caught him playing away.

Another story concerning him, although he was innocent, was when he was accused of rape but the MSM, who would have known his identity, ran with the headline “Old Firm player accused of rape” with a picture of Celtic Park only attached!
