After last nights display we collectively need to hang our heads in shame . I don't know how we have allowed standards that were never good to drop so low .
As a club we, from the Board at the top to o fans who keep the game alive by buying season tickets and paying for individual matches.
If McLean and Beaton are examples of top of the range of Scottish referees and VAR officials we are in serious trouble. Right through last night's game ref McLean refused to involve himself when Aberdeen were dishing out the rough stuff. When head injuries or late and dangerous tackles that could result in a long time injury . When Hatate received brutal tackle Mc Lean stayed far away in centre circle . Earlier McGowan was down with a head injury and instead of stopping the game as per instructions when faced with head injury . McLean kept looking towards goal for some reason, as ball wasn't even there .
The basic requirement by referee is to protect players and try to keep them injury free, when faced against teams like Sevco and Aberdeen who will hit opponent as often as ball.

GCC warning us against (quote) ‘Robbing the public purse’. Oh the irony nearly fell aff ma chair. If Coco the clown calls you an idiot does it matter? Sort the feckn roads.

I honestly can't remember so many bigots in black on the grade one list and I reca Bobby Davidson, Gordon, Waddell and McCluskey. Apparently there are over 20 registered referees, but for some reason only William of Collum can answer we seem to get a nucleus of 4-8 bitter wee runts throughout the whole season.

He must have some top qualities. I don’t think we would be chasing a Haoanese player for the craic . It’s not like when Ange was here when we were buying Japanese players by the car load.

Many seem to like ridiculing and criticising Irish players now and in the past .
If it hadn’t been for Irish shareholders pre Fergus McCann, Celtic shares would have been available for very little . During late 40’s, 50’s and early 60’s most of the Celtic players went to these shareholders for close season on their summer holidays. Whether some fans likes us or not Irish people have always played a major role with Celtic .
Without the Irish influence Celtic would be something similar to M’wel.

All centre backs at Celtic in recent years have had it very difficult as recent managers didn’t provide them with much cover or support. Playing our best attacking football usually means midfield, wingers and at least one full back are all in attacking positions. Contrary to what some think, I think we have been blessed with really good for the most part with good centre backs who play well together. Trusty started well but for some reason has got himself caught up in a wrestling game with opponents. Scales gives all he got, works well with CCV, makes the odd mistake but is nowhere near the “fear” giving mistake waiting to happen player that some “Celtic fans” make him out to be . CCV is a little bit injury prone, but if we aren’t under heavy pressure he is a delight to watch as he can glide over the ground, snuffing out danger before danger arises.

If the youngsters were good enough they would have found a pathway to first team football especially if Board were penny pinching . Many have left us in a blaze of glory but, I don’t see see any of them who were too good for Celtic, making the progress that some Barcelona youngsters have made . Two x 17 year olds.

I don’t. think many writers of articles know what our Directors are thinking of doing. It would seem strange that Lennon Millar would be seen by anyone as a replacement for Hatate . Hatate is a very expansive player more often trying to switch the area and direction of play whilst Lennon Milllar is a very compact hard working skilful player.
As I have said before, I don’t think you often read much sense regarding Celtic, the club have learned often in the past not to rely on SMSM.

Goals scored as a result of corners been headed in for a goal, come about from either poor defending or a bit of a fluke cross met perfectly. Percentage of goals coming from corners is low and Celtic are average.
Scoring direct from free kicks are difficult to teach or train, normally players usually have skill and improve by practice and practice, although H L said he didn’t practice as this practice often cost hamstring problems.
I am not saying Celtic cannot improve their dead ball skills, but I think maybe even more important would be an expert in defending free kicks . Until we get a number of players who are excellent at getting to all types of crosses into box, we all worry.

Lennon is a Celtic legend, as a player, captain and manager . He took a big pay cut to join us as a player. He was in no rush to leave, even though his and his family lives were at risk.

I think the Board spent £20m on two players last summer and some fans still can’t forgive them . So maybe u are right they need to take Letterkenny's idea and drop back to £2.7m star buys.

No history of Celtic supporting in my family . In fact no support for any soccer teams in the rural Western area of the Demi -Province . My older brother went to Glasgow and sent a few programmes over and I became hooked.

The Cops and SFA welcomed the new Minority shareholders with a clear signal to that they can expect help within and outside the laws . No change for the h. ns.
