The title only works if you say it in French with a spanish accent, but you’re clever guys so you’ll get the idea.
France goes into lockdown tomorrow, which is not becuase their covid situation is any worse than that in Britain, but becuase they have a government that gives a shit.
Hopefully, Celtic will be in and out of there with a result, a clean bill of health and a support a lille more optimistic about the rest of the season.
Every year supporters plan an away day in europe, or two, depending on their work and financial situation, and Lille, the fourth biggest city on France, sounds like as good a place as any to go to, especially if you are into history.
Among notable periods in the history of the city are the first socialist leader, Gustav Delory, and at that time was also one of the first to provide proper rest and recreation facilities for workers.
Leisure activities were thoroughly organised in 1858 for the 80,000 inhabitants. Cabarets or taverns for the working class numbered 1,300, or one for every three houses. At that time the city counted 63 drinking and singing clubs, 37 clubs for card players, 23 for bowling, 13 for skittles, and 18 for archery. The churches likewise have their social organizations. Each club had a long roster of officers, and a busy schedule of banquets festivals and competitions.[
63 drinking and singing clubs. Oh, for an afternoon in the autmun sunshine trying to find them all. In a city that apparently is home to 110,000 students.
It would certainly be lively. Under normal circumstances.
Lille is in Flanders region, which bore the brunt of the two major European conflicts last century, and no doubt had another glasgow team been drawn to play them we would have had some sort of pilgrimage organised by now, though thats not to say our own support wouldn’t have paid their respects.
But, as it’s nearly poppy time the British Legion will be gutted that the Ibrox mob aren’t over their resplendent in the old opium plant showing how much thanks they give for the slaughter of a generation at the whim of imperial masters on both sides.
Of course, poppies can be dangerous, as this image shows, when an outsized super patriotic poppy crushed its wearer in a Scottish seaside town,
The football team , Lille Olympic Sporting Club, have an interesting history, and a word of caution for those who rate Marcelo Bielsa, who has performed wonders at Yorkshire cloggers Leeds United…
In March 2017, Lille appointed Marcelo Bielsa as new manager of the club. In November 2017, Bielsa was suspended by Lille following an unauthorized trip to Chile with the club lying second from bottom on the table again and only managing 3 wins from the first 14 games of the season.[7]
He was sacked in December of that year.
Current boss Christohe Galtier then began the long haul back to respectability, and currently the team lie second behind PSG, on gal difference, unbeaten after eight games.
Which gives Neil Lennon a tremendous opportunity to rebuild his sides confidence after what has been a tricky period, because lets face it, Celtic cannot possibly be expected to travel to France and beat a side curently flying high in the French top table.
Is our season about to turn around ?
No idea, my knowledge of their football team is exactly the same as most of those in the media who are paid to write about it.
But what I, and countless other non hysterical supporters will be looking for is an improved performance, a little more confidence and adventure in the side.
As long as we don;t take a Rodgers style tanking, a good performance will suffice, and the result doesn;t really matter.
For probably the first time in half a century I’m more interested in domestic results than European glory, and these games should be used to practice shape, pace, passing and anything else that needs a bit of work.
Above all, let them play without pressure, let them try to rediscover their hinger for the fight, and their belief in themselves and each other.
I don’t know enough about Lille to pinpoint their dangermen, and won’t fall into the trap that the mainstream media does of copy nd pasting other peoples opinions, but there is one thing I do know about them… and you do…
He’s by no means a regular, but could make an appearance at some point in the game. Weah was, of course, on loan at Celtic for a while, and lets just hope he doesn’t decide to show us what he is capable of.
Neil Lennon revealed that he has ahd a heart to heart with Shane Duffy, who has been feeling the heat a little as Celtic fans have shown him all the patience and support that all new players need, for the best part of an hour or so, and he must be wondering why he bothered , especially when one wag described him on Twitter as the most disappointing thing to come out of Brighton since a smiling and unharmed Margaret Thatcher in the eighties.
If Lennon has a particular strength though, its the experience of being at Celtic for around twenty years and given what he has faced, we can be assured that the talk will have been of use to the likeable Irishman, and maybe he will settle.
If he stops trying so hard to be so good he’ll be much much better.
It musty be a little bewildering for him to finally play for his favourite club, and not have the famous support behind him at matches, but all he gets is grief on social media.
Lighten up, he’s only been here five minutes, and isn’t the first centre half to take time to settle…
All in all, the time for shouting is over, and maybe the lack of passion shown by Lennon on the touchline is that as an experienced manager who knows his players, he knows that simply will not work.
Whatever course of actiuon he has undertaken to put things right will become evident tonight and on sunday, when Celtic play last years cup semi final with Aberdeen, a side who could well be in for a bit of a hiding given the hurt that is undoubtedly being felt at Lennoxtown.
But for now, lets just try to get a bit of enthusiasm and confidence back, both on and off the park against Lille, and start to put this season back on track.
And for fucks sake, bring everyone back free of the plague, and ready to roll.
Yesterday, we had this…

Dear Authors,
Another great Diary, is it time to switch of the mic. and to p-p-p-pick up the pen? Yes, I’m referring to you Hector and Monty, no need to mention the ‘D man because he’s far to good, damn it.
Another Celtic legend, one who needs no introduction.
Lille Mix’s.
Hope we can deliver the ten for THE 10.
That’s a great call. I was reading of all the team wearing the number 8 on their shorts to celebrate winning 8INAR. in September 1973. Then, to mark the sad passing of Jimmy Johnstone the team wore the number 7 in tribute to Jinky at the 2006 League Cup Final trophy presentation. How fitting it would be for all the players to wear the number 10 on their shorts, in Tommy’s memory,if – when we won the Title no 10 INAR. I cannot think of a more fitting and deserved tribute for a truly great Celtic legend.
That would be perfect.
Mike,

Excellent diary today and I agree Europe is a mere distraction.
I’m a Ireland season ticket holder and I’ve see big Duffy play regularly and he’s a great defender and will come good.
Some of the abuse that he gets from ‘Twitter Celtic’ is ridiculous. The same can be said for our serial winning manager. Just a reminder for those who seem to forget:

We’ve played some of our worst football in a long time, with numerous first team players missing (and who has forgotten the Boli incident?!) and we’re still only 6 points behind with a game in hand. Despite the media frothing at the mouth we’ll come good. Sad to see Kris Commons join Champagne Charlie and Andy Walker in the haters club.
Tonight is going to be a good test but the league is the priority.
Very much of the view the domestic trophies, hell no just the league will do, for this season. Ralph you are right an improved performance but iced 90 minutes, confidence sure. I thought Duffy would complete the jig saw for this season, he hasn’t become a bad player but an unsettled defence and the horrendous injuries haven’t helped, did it all really go wrong when we lost James Forrest?
I was jumping for joy, the same as most. We wanted superman to ensure the 10 and then to our horror realised some of the green dye in the hoops contained kryptonite! Sure Shane will come good, but needs to play his game and stop trying too hard, he obviously has a wonderful heart and is too determined, if that makes sense! He’ll be celebrating come May with the rest of us! HH!
Here we are again. What’s to say your right and others are wrong? Respect the opinions of others. Others that put their hard earned into the club no matter what. You run about this site fire fighting on behalf of your opinion. Give it a rest. If this goes (and it’s looking increasingly likely) pear shaped, I hope I’m wrong, but if I and many others are correct, then the retributions will be swift and far reaching. No hiding place for those who shoulder the blame, just as it should be..
He can’t help himself, it’s cringeworthy garbage.
He in his own words yesterday ” The end”
Then starts the day with ” some on here “?
Respect others… From the abuser in chief…… Priceless
Creepy character right enough. Pathetic troll.
He did bring back the thunder but had long lost it before left the last time.
Rodgers brought the Full House notices, waiting lists etc that Lennon has inherited.
Will he maintain or squander that?
One things sure, simply posting irrelevant historical stats won’t cut it.
Here, Duncan Disorderly, take the advice from Ralph’s leader today and go and have a lie down, you’re making a complete fool of yourself and the more you post the deeper the hole gets.
Ask the Missus if she can return your Action Men for a few weeks or if she wants to play Barbie to your GI Joe …
I know the latter is very doubtful seeing as you spend every minute of the day chasing yourself and other posters around on here but it’s worth a go, mate, give your old Tango Rosarios a bit of a swing instead of getting them kicked repeatedly like you do on here every day yet inexplicably keep coming back for more.
You own clown shoes too?
How fitting!
Are those part of your seduction routine too or are they just part of the day job?
Hahaha, IVe heard it all now, a fvckin British squaddie telling a lifelong die hard Tim to go eat soup!
Why don’t you go eat cake, ya Queen loving halfwit clown?
YOU signed up to ‘serve’ her, mind.
Take Ralph’s advice and go for a wee rest, squaddie.
Youre losing it big time on here and you’ll lose a lot more again if you try to keep this shite up with me.
I’ve no idea what Permarage is, mate.
Is it your new haircut that you’re unhappy with?
HAHAHAHAHAHA
It’s your own Tango Rosarios you need to worry about, mate.
Ask your Missus if you can have them back.
Ask nicely mind.
Then you might have something better to do with your days.
That’s the problem with guys who sign up to serve the queen …
They’re looking for a replacement mistress with every wumman that comes into their lives.
And you’re no different in any way, soldier.
So just you keep munching on yer carb filled queen cake, son.
Maybe one day you’ll grow up enough to see the difference.
‘Adventure,purpose,challenge and a trade.’
Yet here you are today …
You signed an oath to Lizzie, squaddie.
Nothing else needs said.
You swore allegiance to the queen.
Good old ‘Irish/Scot’ that ye are …
You wore her crown on your crown so, again, nothing else needs said.
Wrong again, Brendan will be remembered for the standards he raised at the club, the football his teams played & the way he made players better.
AND for the way he left.
Brendan Rodgers is a top class manager we were lucky to get.

I don’t agree European football is a distraction. That’s simply another way of saying you’ve thrown the towel in as far as European football goes this season. A draw tonight would be fine though.
Again, the new party line. Performance rather than result.It’s a results business and a loss is no use to anyone. Fvck me, how far do you want standards to fall when you accept loss with a shrug of the shoulders? Pathetic.
Champions League football is crucial to Celtic. It used to be the only thing that the board demanded from the football department. If we don’t achieve the C.L. Qualifiers, then it means that our best players are sold and we go on a downward trajectory. You just have to look at the PLC’s Annual results to see that, the past year and beyond to know that qualification is imperative and that is why Lawwell sits on the European clubs board, to get the low down a heads up on what’s coming. If only he would stick to the administration of the club and remove himself from the football department, stick to what he does best. IMO Celtic would markedly improve if the football department was run by only football men. How often have I watched good performances but Celtic never won the points, too often to count. In the bigger picture teams are never remembered for good performances, only on winning titles and trophies.
Mike, there is no doubt he is the biggest problem to the club. Yes he has a business brain, but surely he has to accept that spaffing tens of millions on guys that rarely play, disappear on loan, then eventually slip away elsewhere for hee haw, kind of contradicts this super duper, one in a million, lucky to have him,CEO.
He is presiding over these purchases with what seems very little input from what should be the most important person at the club, the manager. Quite frankly, spending at the level we did in the summer (and the jury’s still out on every single one of those acquisitions) kind of worries me, a lot. Another six months of this and the club are in the deep stuff. Wages must be at their highest level since O’Neill and I would imagine wage cuts/deferments must be on the radar pretty soon. He’s not as clever as some seem to think.
Henke,
A very interesting take on things you have here, a broad range of experience showing through.
Not so much Mike 🙂
I see the devil is in you today my son.
Must be pished.
I look at him in wonder (Lawwell) how could he ever be CEO. of Celtic FC.
Interesting and thoughtful. What would you do? Who would you replace Lawell with and with what set of objectives and budget? For that matter who would replace Lennon and with what set of objectives based on the financial reality of today and the fact we are in the SPL?
Me, I would replace him with someone honest, someone who only has Celtic’s best interest’s in mind, someone who does’nt tell lies at a Celtic AGM. by saying that he never knew anything about the secret agreement (5Way) that governs the judicial protocols of Scottish football, to his own clubs disadvantage, but was in fact the recipient of the agreement. Someone who would not side-track the Res.12 bhoys who were honest in both finding out and alerting him to the cheating of the dead club and who led them down a cul-de-sac. Someone who would follow the ethics of the clubs founder Brother Walfrid, There are thousands of CEO. available, thousands, of honest accountants. His time should be up.
Very well put, Mike.
Is honesty too much to ask given how much we’ve been cheated down the decades?
And now our own head man involved in it, lying to the support on behalf of the Hun?
To keep the Old fvckin Firm going?
They we’re called the OF for a good reason …
It was because they really did work together to ensure a sharing of the spoils.
And as far as I can see only Fergus made the difference since Walfrid’s dream was taken from him and moulded into exactly what the money makers wanted, the perfect way to divide the downtrodden Irish, both Catholic & Protestant, of Scotland.
And Peter & Dermot have shown repeatedly that they’re more concerned about a ‘strong Rangers’ than they do about a strong Celtic.
‘We’ve lost 10 million a year over this (liquidation of Rangers).’ – Peter Lawwell, 2012
So fvck European ambition, let’s just get any kind of ‘Rangers’ back in the league, eh, Pete?
Even to the point of lying to our own shareholders..?
Well, obviously.
And that’s all we need to know.
No it”s not, Duncan.
It’s just the only thing I’ve written that hasn’t taken the piss out of you.
And that’s why you like it.
But ta anyway.
I think Mike answered that better than I ever could.
Which is a surprise at his age!
You’ve not seen the 20/21 figures and you dare lecture me. Really, Big Don is right. You’re continually digging a hole for yourself that would make the Great Escape look like a worm hole.
Listen Mr copy and paste. 20/21 is what I was referring to. Just because it’s not in black and white doesn’t mean I’m clueless. It’s obvious there will be a large increase in player wages.
Yes, as the puller of the purse strings, he – they, do keep the club safe, no argument there. But, how can we determine without going into the lurid details of his involvement in the 5Way and all his Res.12 deflection and lies, thereby giving the imposters a helping hand, that aside. Various managers over the years have complained about his obstruction in player purchase and players arriving that the managers knew nothing about, or, his delays in bringing in the players that same managers wanted, all that aside. His refusal to bring in players on time i.e. before CL Qfrs. How much has all of that cost the club? Many millions would be my estimate, but of course we will never know the true extent of the millions that Celtic would have earned, because erm we never qualified. So my argument is that by bringing in a football qualified person, to run the playing side (team), coach’s etc. would have generated much more income than what we have achieved under his involvement in the playing side.
Another, separate argument would be his involvement in unsuitable managers, his and of course the largest Celtic shareholder. DD.
I did reply, but…
You’ve not been to a game since long before he was C.E.O. You are just hiding behind that to be honest
” used to be a british soldier “?
Oh momma oh momma comfort me…..
If this mob are up for it then we will be lucky to survive a hefty defeat.
If the manager gets it right and that means setting the team up properly from the off and playing for 90 minutes, not the 20-40 minutes we’ve been witnessing all season, then he can do no more, but if we have 45 minutes of disjointed go nowhere football, then clearly nothing is being absorbed by the coaching staff. Only time will tell.
Agree to an extent but Duffy gives me the fear. Groin strain and a really bad hamstring injury are horrendous.
The result is never secondary, you can’t have players taking the field & thinking, if we play well it doesn’t matter if we lose?
Ajeti will partner Edouard, if you lifted your ears a wee bit higher, Neil Lennon confirmed that.

There’s no doubting Lennons history of winning things, both as a player and manager, BUT that cannot and should not guarantee his future. Opinion is definitely devided, but more and more of us are basing that opinion on recent actions, selections, tactics ,performances, and all round attitude, application and professionalism, and it’s no where near acceptable, fitness levels look way off, motivation is low, so how long do we allow for aw this to change, 2 games, 2 weeks, 2 months, because time is something Celtic and Lennon dont have, so although i believe he should already be gone, surly 2 more poor performances or defeats has to spell the end….COYBIG
Here is a thought. Why should we not expect to do well in both Europe and domestically? That is what happened last season. Why should we round down our expectations now?
Other teams manage to cope with the double whammy of competing in Europe and domestically. Once you start hoping for less, that is exactly what you get. Next it will be the cup…it does not matter, only the league.
This is Celtic we are talking about here, not one of the other Scottish entrants in the Europa who, usually, get dumped out in the qualifying stages.
Just a thought,
Rebus
I’m sure it was big Jock that said if you played well in Europe, domestic football took care of itself .
Henke,
What Mr Stein said was ” If you build a side to compete in europe, Scottish football would take care of itself”.
You are excused for getting a little confused at your age.
Same difference.
Duncan,
With the exception of Foster, the team should be able to weather these losses. Ajeti, Duffy, Barkas, Turnbull have been added. Klimala and Soro should be bedded in by now. This team should be challenging in Europe.
Rebus
Rebus is always serious, mate.
It’s you that owns the clown shoes.

Here we go again.
Those tankings were in the CL against the crème de la crème of European football.
The only tie that I think Rogers lost that should have been won was against AEK.
Compare to Cluj, Copenhagen and Ferenvaros in the past year alone.
We were papped out of the CL qualifiers in the 2nd round (3 rounds from the end of qualifying).
You’d be carted off if you suggested that Lennon will be going up against the likes of Barca or PSG anytime soon.

Ask stevie g if he’s going into the game tonight to get a respectful performance? FFS its getting worse.
He would be out there wanting to win. You see this is how far the tables have turned., and for those of you who have been going on and on about covid injuries etc deep down you know we are not the team you say we are, out loud.
No matter the formation no matter the players at his disposal he gets it wrong.
I see Lazio being quoted Forster saved us from a helluva beating that night.
So tonight is important dont be ready with fuckin excuses if we get humped accept what is happening and get to the solution quickly.
Ohh and COYBIG

2-0, get in there!
2-0!
Nah, wind up, mate.
Hahahaha.
Quality save, big Bain!
GOYBIG
Our season begins bring on the fucking Huns. Great football Celtic. And getting the rub of the green.
So far every man outstanding, more like the Celtic we all know & love.
Only half time & a long way to go but excellent so far!
That should have been the set up against the huns.
Agree Monti. Defended well their goals where deserved albeit scrambling why the fuck moi shat it for a hat trick is beyond me. He takes it wide when a clear shot is on. But much better. Fighting performance. Bain and Laxalt the pick of the bunch. Thought Ajeti put on a really good shift. Duffy better. We are going to win this league. Fuck the Huns
Yeah maybe we should have played counter attack v Ferencvaros.
Superb. Right set up, right line up, but Duffy? Oh dearie dearie me.
Referee is a bit of a comedian, however the team are a team tonight. As for Duffy he is like a young boy, enthusiastic, but impetuous. As for the moron that is commentating he is bealing that Celtic are 2-0 up
Looks like it’s you on dial up, private.
Duffy needs resting, he’s a heart in mouth bomb scare.
Oddly enough, one of our posters knows all about that stuff too …
Disappointing way to earn a desirable point but the team showed the grit that is sorely missing from the colostomy bag collective on this forum. Well done St NFL and the Bhoys. Newnames GTF.
Well done Bhoys and that is a collective well done, big Ajer going off was a killer. Finally 90 minutes played with a real purpose. If Moi had just shot right after they got their first it would have been game over.
Cause it was offside.
They’re not bad but not great. We should have won this. Lennon too defensive second halF. Moi had glorious shooting opportunity but takes wide shat it for the hat trick
Thats the first solid performance we’ve seen all season, Duffy apart.
Mo should’ve won it but we’d have taken the point before kick off.
Agree on Laxalt but I think we all agree, mostly, that we should have two central defenders rather than trying to force two defensive midfielders to do the job they weren’t cut out for.
Duffy played well. Give the big paddy a break. His heart is huge. He’s fucked up but he played with Irish character. Let’s embrace this man. He has a part to play. Hail fucking hail.
Wise comment. To me our season started tonight. The fight was missing tonight every man fought like lions not the Lisbon category. But at least it’s a sign that’s in them proud man. I love Celtic so much so I see a turnaround we will get that 10 in a row monkey of our back and I see it as the beginning. If we stop this misery that’s holding us back. I believe this cohort may flatter to decieve and really push on to be a club that reminisces the club we crave for. If not. I’m a Celtic man for life we will be up there again because we are an institution like no other
Big Don,
Spot on, i couldn’t believe Moi didn’t shoot from the edge of the box immediately after they scored.
Still, overall i’m a happy Fenian tonight!
Accentuate the positives, Monti.
They might be all we have left.
Laxalt is a gem
Cmon poznan
We played well. Hope for us. Duffy was ok. Penalty was a joke I love Celtic. And Neil may turn this around young welsh one for the future. We fought that’s all we want. 10 in a row. Fucking Celtic I love you with every cell in my body. Keep that fight up. It’s in your DNA I predict an auspicious season we needed this.
Having gone 2-0 up tonight, 2 great goals for Moi BTW, we should’ve won that game.
Schoolboy defending cost us AGAIN!
But I s’pose it’s a point.
The ref was a fucking disgrace almost all night too.
Bain was excellent, except for one spilled ball, just needs a defence in front of him.
For me tho’ we need to get a fully fit squad and concentrate on THE TEN which will take a bit of doing if the League’s called early which is most likely.
Still we’ve History to make and we’ve got the players.
Come On You Bhoys In Green.

FC not PLC
FFS, “Awaiting for approval”, 1st fucking comment? WTF?
FFS, “Awaiting for approval”, 2nd FN comment.
It’s a FN joke, but a very poor one!
The Xmas card is a financial drive by the Ludge to bolster their coffers.
It’ll be a sell out, just like Res 12!!!!!!!
Hope Ajer is not injured.
Last thing we need.
Some good play tonight.
Let the positivity flow….
Such a shame we didn’t keep the shape and momentum from the first half. Plenty of positives. Great to see an almost fit squad. Eddie and Nir back. Just hope Ajer is ok. Possibly time to give Duffy a break. The big guy has just been thrown in. Possibly start Welsh/Nir instead against Aberdeen.
Some players just seem suit European football. Moi was outstanding. Laxalt work rate is phenomenal.
Disagree. Duffy was good and it wasn’t a penalty. Lennon went into his shell and should’ve gone for the kill. Too cautious with tactics in the second half and overestimated them.
BB,
Agree with you m8, we were good tonight & the way the game was going i think a draw was fair enough.
I expected a heavy defeat tonight so was pleasantly surprised to go 0-2 up, Lille are a good side tho.
Sad but let’s see what happened after you posted this.
8 minutes later goal 10 after that 2-2.
Really get a grip. The guy tries his best will never be a centre back no matter how hard they try to make him 1.
So watch players with your eyes m8 not team sheets or stats.
Suits his agenda, but doesn’t see the bigger picture Jimmy. I’m afraid your fighting a losing turgid battle.
Jimmy,
There’s no point m8
Very true, lads, but Spunkin Duncan will never give up.
It’s hardwired into these squaddies brains that you keep head banging the wall no matter how much it hurts.
They can’t help it.
Even donkeys know when enough is enough.
But no squaddies.
All those ‘challenges’ went to their head.
And not in a good way either.
A little bird told me that it was you who was running said accounts. Just saying.
What does that mean, I must be missing something?
A nosebag
Oops

And you’re still doing it, surely you could have got some assistance by now.
I thought you said the result wasn’t primary?
Interesting you change direction after the result, surely you would have pointed to the performance first?
Anymore skip ups & we’ll be calling you Steve G.
RIP Bobby Ball
Always made me laugh
Well, that explains a lot …
Wow. Imagine owning up to that.
Still lowering the bar
Respect.
Wait a second …
Didn’t you just tell us earlier, Duncan, that you refuse to buy into the corporate circus of the PLC?
Yet now you tell us that you have Celtic TV?!
That you pay money to these corporate vultures feeding off our club for this low quality service when you can watch it on a stream FOR FREE?
Talk about fvckin hypocrisy!
You need to get your priorities right, soldier, you seem to have lost them somewhere along the way.
You pay the BBC licence fee?
And that covers your Celtic TV?!
Well, good for you, Charlie!
You must be the only man in history whose licence fee pays for Celtic TV!
What other tricks did they teach you on the streets of Ireland?
How to dismantle chocolate bars without getting the cream all over your fingers ..?
Hahahaha
Weee you taking a break from Grindr?
Hahahaha
Your buttons look a wee bit sticky there………
