Celtic banter 8

I thought that was great that Hearts scored in the 30th minute today, whilst there was a Stadium tribute to a massive 30 year old fan who sadly passed away earlier this week named Aaron.

It put me in mind when Leigh Griffiths scored a goal on 9 minutes ( I think ) in honour of a young Coatbridge youngster who also suddenly died.
Whilst we done a Stadium tribute.

I've alway noticed his brilliant gravestone of a footballer in his amateur teams football colours.

The lad would've been 21 years old on the same day as my 50th.

God Bless 💚🍀.

Buzz is this in coltswood cemetary, as I have noticed a young boys grave with a sculpture of an amateur player there when I am up visiting my grans grave.

14 Apr 2024 08:08:46
That’s it Paul.
Black and Gold are his teams colours.

I think he was a little older, maybe 11 years old.
Griffiths ran behind the goals, after he scored on the exact minute of the applause and he lifted a Celtic jersey with his name on it.

It was a class act from Leigh.

Thanks Buzz, I go up with my son every 2 or 3 weeks to visit my grans grave, we often stop at the young mans grave and say hello. I remember when Griffiths did that, a class act and a lovely tribute to the young man, sadly taken too soon.

Was at the game today and a young guy from Canada (Hamilton Ontario, Ian) introduced himself and said that this was his first visit to Celtic Park. His enthusiasm for Alastair Johnston did not disappointed as I felt that he (Johnstone) might easily have been awarded MOTM. What I noticed was that Johnstone, O’Reilley and Kuhn were forming triangles with Kuhn expected to make the telling pass. This was where the constructive contribution of of the triangle broke down. I was disappointed today in Khu’s contribution especially after some recent decent performances.

13 Apr 2024 21:55:25
Khun is bang average, I go to every home game and I also watch games back but the support on here for Khun, Taylor, Scales astounds me as the 3 of them should be nowhere near 1st team, the support for Taylor is beyond belief a terrible terrible player no pace can't defend can't pass I hope him and scales are replaced rapid.

14 Apr 2024 13:51:35
Taylor and Scales both divide the support, many think they are weak links and shouldn’t be playing . However I see it different, many of our opponents often target both, who may not seem to be the classiest but surely Taylor has been lb for a number of seasons . Ange and BR both know their players and neither would have a player anywhere near team if he wasn’t good enough . At the start of season Scales would have been no where near pitch but through necessity BR had to use Scales . Game after game Scales settled in and formed a solid centre defence partnership with CCV . Whenever CCV is fit and playing Scales has played well, when he isn’t no matter what partnership we have problems in defence.

One down, 5 to go.

13 Apr 2024 20:24:40
Watched Sportscene and the first thing they show is Hatate going down in the box . Never showed St Mirren blatantly diving nothing done, wasting time nothing done, and kicking the ball away nothing done, but again Thompson and McCann thought St Mirren played well and the Celtic goal were all St Mirren mistakes bring back Scotsport.

13 Apr 2024 21:38:10
Scotsport was good with Arthur Montford and Ian Archer.
Sportscene isn’t the same without Archie McPherson.

Showing my age 😂.

I knew that rule,
About being allowed an extra substitution for a head knock sub.
I also knew that the opposition team, was also allow to make an extra substitution (6th sub)

I was still scratching my head today because I forgot about the St. Mirren concussion substitution in the 1st half.

13 Apr 2024 17:05:27
one of the eds can wee have a poll on our ed about not being allowed to go to the games as i came on here to day to see the line up as our ed is spot on with getting it up on time but him attending the game today has got in the way of that haha.

{Ed007's Note - 😂😂😂

13 Apr 2024 20:31:26
i tried.

{Ed007's Note - 😂😂😂

14 Apr 2024 13:25:25
i running one on here. i vote no games anymore mark haha.

{Ed007's Note - That'll be me for the season anyway lol.}

13 Apr 2024 17:52:34
I'm amazed of the lack of support to sign Adam Idah permanently. Who or what's the alternative?

13 Apr 2024 19:00:55
Think he's still the the development/ project category and it's down to what Norwich want for him . id try another season loan with an agreed fee then we can get a better overview of the bhoy. if they asked for something ridiculous like 10 million plus would you sign him?

13 Apr 2024 19:02:58
Agree LeedsCelt. I think he has something and I'd take him. Considering most were crying out for pierre Jr, miovski and Shankland. Idah looks way better. Maybe not a guaranteed 1st choice but certainly 1 of our 3 strikers.

13 Apr 2024 20:35:45
What do we need to see the guy can play.

13 Apr 2024 20:36:11
It is all about how much we need to pay.

13 Apr 2024 20:49:48
Straight swap with MJ best for both parties.

13 Apr 2024 20:59:54
It’s our poor ambition in my view, targeting our levels to the nearest domestic arrivals rather than Europe opportunities. Directors future plan lacks club ambition beyond this corrupt league that we are too well aware of. HH. 😉🇮🇪.

13 Apr 2024 21:13:11
Wasn't he going to Italy for loan with fee agreement of €4m before we stepped in for him?

14 Apr 2024 08:26:48
Big Idah has come in and done a job.

He offers a viable alternative to Kyogo (IMO) and his goal tally shines a light on what OH NO has managed this season.

It'll likely come down to money.

Good performance today in difficult conditions. Johnston outstanding, defence solid. Hatate different class superb goal. Onwards and upwards.

13 Apr 2024 19:48:20
Thought we were good today in very difficult circumstances.
The wind as always is a great leveller.
Two things:
Should James Forrest have a front row seat in our last 5 games?
Does anyone in the Celtic conscience and Morality contingent have access to a weather report?

13 Apr 2024 20:18:22
Good 2nd half performance Celtic. 1 down, 5 to go.

13 Apr 2024 20:34:25
we were beie at best first half. woeful at worst. nt a celtic team full of fire for a tight run in. jesus.

13 Apr 2024 20:36:56
I would have forrest all day long if your bringing subs on.

13 Apr 2024 17:05:12
Good victory in blustery conditions. Rocky done well and AJ was very good. None of our wingers convince and Kuhn and Yang and no better than Forrest or even Mickey! Great to see Hatate getting a goal, he is going to be a big player for us over the last 5 games.

13 Apr 2024 17:29:18
Regards our wingers Chinks, I agree, not in the same class as Jota or Jamsie at his best. We surely cannot go into European competition with these guys. They will not cut it at basic European level never mind the big guns. We need to spend this summer. We all love great wing play but for that to happen we need great wingers.

13 Apr 2024 17:48:15
AJ is currently the most consistent wide player in the side IMO. Our available wingers are still not quite on the money with Khun and Yang not creating enough and losing possession too often. Palma is also still to convince me although once again James Forrest did very well for the short time he was on and can still do a job. I also thought Welsh did well when he came on for Nawrocki and CCV was immense once again. Some great performances all over the pitch today against a very well organized and tough opponent. Well done Celts.

13 Apr 2024 17:49:45
Have to disagree Chinks re the wingers. Yang, in any other season, would have had far fewer minutes and has done well.

Kuhn for me is starting to come onto a game.

13 Apr 2024 18:02:42
Someone explain the 6th sub allowed to be used that baffled me 🤔.

13 Apr 2024 18:50:10
St mirren made a concussion sub at half time by sounds of it. That then means both teams get an extra substitution. Totally baffled at the game though!

13 Apr 2024 19:04:51
Nawrocki was a head injury Turner.

13 Apr 2024 20:52:24
Cheers was confusing I could only think during game yang getting a hot knock, is it true if player gets removed from field of play with concussion they have to automatically miss next two weeks?

13 Apr 2024 16:23:15
3 players we should be all over.

Szmodics.
Morgan Whittaker.
Adam Armstrong.

13 Apr 2024 16:52:05
Is that the quality we're aiming for?

13 Apr 2024 17:57:14
To me the most important thing I take from the game was Hatate's strike and goal
That was Hatate back to last year's form.
What a player to have fully fit at this stage of season.
