It seems like everything is taking forever of late, time passing slower than the proverbial week in jail.
Even the plague seems to be reluctant to give in to lockdowns and vaccines, with the new Brazil variant looking particularly nasty…
It’s all bad news everywhere.
James Forrest is no nearer even getting a date for his return, and there’s a chance that he will miss the Euros and possibly even the UCL qualifiers, which would be a disaster for the club because he can usually be called on to dig us out of a hole in these games.
He hasn’t played since September of last year and for someone who has been a fixture in the side for the last decade or so, that must be tough.
Still, at least he’s stuck at home when everyone else is and won;t be missing much, but if I was in his shoes I’d be looking somewhat wistfully at Keiran Tierney who also had a long term injury and had to leave Celtic to get it looked at properly.
Tierney is on record as saying he wasn’t allowed to rest long enough for a proper recovery, and this would have played a part in his decision to leave.
Forrest has remained loyal throughout his time at the club, and probably needs a wee bit of cheering up right now.
I’d suggest the club should order him a Cup winners medal so that he can have the full set of quadruple treble gongs….
There’s still plenty of turmoil at the ranch, with John Kennedy now running the team, and under his guidance they stormed to a 1-0 win over Aberdeen at the weekend.
Alright, perhaps storm is perhaps too strong a win.
In fact, the attitude of one or two players gave the impression that the only movement of air was them blowing smoke up our arses.
Gordon Strachan, clearly worried his son might lose his job at the club and move back into the parental home, was rather upset…
“You know talking about team spirit and being close together, I wouldn’t have been happy if I was a manager and had seen those two laughing [Soro and Edouard] at something like that.
“ I would be saying to them I’ve made a 50-yard run, boost me in, we win 2-0 and then we celebrate. Then the guy who has made a mistake can take it. That’s more together than saying ‘oh here, that was unlucky, that was fine, big smiles’.
“No. A manager has resigned this week. How can you smile after that, an opportunity to lay somebody in, pass and score, 2-0, rather than go yourself. That would be my concern.”
“That’s personalities. That’s all to do with personalities. And what you are trying to get out of life. Do you want to go to the top, do you want to make the team go to the top? Do you want to make this group of players better? Can you demand from each other to be better rather than accepting things to be not good enough.”
He went on to moan about anything else that came to mind, and he has got a point, but frankly that point would have come across better had he shaved and put on a nice suit.
Then again, if any of my kids were in a situation where they might be out of work and looking to move back home I’d grow a beard and pretend it wasn’t me either when they turned up at the door.
Of course, he has a point, and there is a malaise among the players, for whatever reason, and the sooner a new guy comes in and starts kicking butts the better.
Jeremie Frimpong isn’t at Celtic any more, but for some reason he chucked his tuppence worth in as well…
“I think in football, obviously Celtic in previous years they always win, but there was always going to be a point where they can’t win everything, so there was always going to have to be a time where they have to lose.
Re Strachans comments, you are right, he did have a point. Eddie has been piss poor all season, he has summed up Celtic performances for months as a group of INDIVIDUALS who looked as if they had been thrown together on a Friday afternoon, had never met each other before and couldn’t give a sh#t. Eddie is too greedy, wants far too much time on the ball and runs into trouble constantly by trying to be wee Jinky, presumably to attract more attention from other clubs.
Of all the players who could be on the move, the only one I would push the boat out for to keep is big Ajer.
The King of Norway is majestic! HH!
Sigh, same old brain dead nonsense that seems to afflict a helluva lot of Celtic fans and explains why the truly wretched ex-manager was tolerated for so long.
Eddy scored the only goal when no one else looked like doing it and is Scotland’s top scorer with over 20 goals.
Have you seen the alternatives, Griffiths, who doesn’t want to get fit, Ajeti, Klimala, Christie, Rogic? Jeez, gie’s peace.
If Eddy does go, I wonder which one of that stellar cast, steps up to the spotlight.
The Cha
Strachan’s comments reveal perfectly why he should not be near Celtic in any official capacity – he has no understanding of the modern game or cultural differences. The fact that Soro didn’t clock Eddie but both laughed as evidence as both not having any guts is as ludicrous as his example of his own career when he fell out with someone for 6 months for not getting a pass – how many years ago was that? Couldn’t he find a more recent example of such gutsiness? Of course not, that kind of thinking and behaviour is long gone, thankfully. I like Strachan but he is a bit of a dinosaur.
The guy had covid and even young, top sports people may have a slow recovery. It was mentioned here how a covid illness may affect future transfer fees. I wonder if that’s what is going on on the dark side.

Rumour has it Lawwell rushed down to the showers excitedly waving a contract in his right hand after the impressive 100% record Kennedy only to be reminded by Doris while cleaning up the mess at Celtic Park ‘Ye are orf in a few weeks so do na bother!’ Sevco will unfortunately take their one flag simply as we were crap all season. All we can do is ensure in the two remaining clashes with them we put them in their place for the sake of pride. Wish we had a new coach in now, to take a long hard look at the players and make a complete list of targets and move on. HH!

Agree the malaise at Celtic Park has been disguised by the pandemic. The cringe worthy comments by Frimpong says it all.
To blame the support when the fault is with the management team and the players says it all. Ajer is the only one that appears to get angry, the rest ponce around the pitch, from Christie to McGregor there is no fight.
The lack of speed by Wankier and Liewell is unbelievable, maybe we will have a new manager for the Europa league qualifiers after we get knocked out of the UCL qualifiers.
An Urgent Appeal From Donald Park
You’ve put away your sash and you’ve thrown out your Broxi Bear
Billy, are you contemplating going off the Gers?
The picture on your wall of good King Bill has been took down
Oh Billy, don’t take your cash to town.
Remember how our fathers dodged the second world war
Hiding in the shipyards while the Tims fought for us aw
And yes it’s true that we’re not the club we used to be
But Billy, we just say new company.
It’s hard to love a club whose fans believe so many lies
And who don’t have a brain or are clinically insane Billy I realise
But it won’t be long I’ve heard Phil say until we’re not around
So Billy, don’t take your cash to town.
He’s leaving now cos I just heard him kicking in the door
The way I’ve heard a hundred Huns a hundred times before
And if I could move my big fat erse I’d pin him to the ground
Oh Billy, don’t take your cash to town
Oh Billy
(Fur fvck’s sake gie’s a poun’).
Brilliant

This season Celtic and Liverpool had injury problems to centre half’s, had the chance to rectify in January, did nothing. Hence they have both lost their crowns.
Ours was lost way before January
