The game is off.
1.) 25 Jan 2025 10:36:24
Yes just seen that. played Feb 5th.
Can settle now wasn't looking forward to driving through today.

If Celtic don’t beat Aston Villa we will play 4 home games in only 10 days against -
Dundee, Raith Rovers, CL and Dundee Utd.

Think the cancellation suits everyone after the chaos and damage of the last 24 hours. The players could do with a break as well and we would be minus a striker option with Kyogo away.

Fantastic performance by the Bhoys.
All very good but Maeda, Engels, Jotta were exceptional . As was Kuhn when he came on.

Firstly God Bless the Celtic and all the fans who have travelled.
Not about the football perse about the fans in Birmingham.
I have been travelling around London, Manchester, York, Leeds and Birmingham for some 20 years for work. This is just to put some context around things.
My concern is the huge violent right wing growth down there. : odly, London is not quite up there with the midlands and the North. It's ok to be right wing BTW if that's your thing. not mine. But the violence and menace I have witnessed especially over the past 5 years is both worrying and intensifying.
This isn't just a football issue rather it is a societal matter.
Tough times ahead outside of the football arena.
Take care all hoops fans.

Is it just me, but I'm at a loss as to why we want to self create a "rubbish storm? "
Talk about self inflicted wounds.
We are top of the league and LC is in the cabinet. We have big games coming up including a great opportunity for more CL games and the money that goes with it.
Why are we wanting to argue and cause friction amongst ourselves. We have enough enemies out there.
Last year our performances and results went downhill when we "turned our guns " on ourselves; banning GB etc.
Can we as a club focus on winning and stop all this nonsense.
Are fans entitled to a opinion - yes
Is BR entitled to have a view on fans getting restless - yes
But surely we can debate this better and take some heat out of it.
Fans, supporters, players, all club staff, managers and coaches should all be on the same page.
I want to see and read about the football we play and the games we win. not listen to the media asking about the fallout between the the fans or the manger.

Celt65 bravo sir.

Couldn't have said it any better. Just because it's 0-0 after 20 mins doesn't mean we need to jump the gun. We're crusing and let's not forget this is the first christmas without the break, it's hard to maintain high standards all the time. Champions win either in style or by the scrape of their teeth. How's it always been done.

Afternoon All
Unity is Strength

4.) 08 Jan 2025 15:10:29
I imagine the desire and need for Unity is the reason BR brought it up in the first place . Let’s hope that spokesmen for those involved in the singing and abuse of
GT will talk with BR and explain why they have done so . Probably better we let those involve on both sides, as neither side is correct talk it through and come to some form of consensus.

Great servant for us and top man on the dressing room.
If he wants to look after himself and family… all ok with me.
BR will play him right up to and including our last game this season.
It’s a pity he is leaving.
{Ed007's Note - Rodgers said today that Taylor hasn't signed for Dinamo Zagreb and that he's still hopeful that he'll stay.}

Ed, my clear understanding is that these pre contracts are full contracts and come into force on the due date. Everything is detailed in them right down to weekly salary. This ties in with your good explanatory note.
No doubting, certain conditions need to be met, the obvious one is “pass medical. ”
Not wanting to be pedantic or drag this out but the original substantive point is has/ can KT / Arsenal get out of this? I feel the answer is no.
Can’t think of anyone who has?
{Ed007's Note - Yeah no need to get bogged down in it but just going by that article it's legally binding with FIFA but might not stand up in a law court. I found an article where former Pub League player Peter Odemwingie cancelled his pre-contract because he got a better offer.
My main question is though, has KT actually put pen to paper on the pre-contract or is it only a verbal agreement? Did Rodgers mention him today?}
04 Feb 2025 18:44:48
Ed, pre contracts are legally binding in England and Scotland. They may be subject to certain conditions and clauses but they are watertight.
The subtle difference is a letter of intent which whilst enforceable in England, it cannot be enforced in Scotland, as its viewed here as only an intention.
{Ed007's Note - www.blakemorgan.co.uk/the-enforceability-of-pre-contracts-in-football/
"The enforceability of a pre-contract will depend on the specific terms of the agreement. Pre-contracts are generally not binding under English law as they are usually marked ‘Subject to Contract’ and are simply a commitment by the parties to enter into a later contract. The difference between a pre-contract and a contract is that the parties to the pre-contract have not agreed the essential terms and so the pre-contract does not reflect the final agreement. However, if a pre-contract contains all the essential terms that have been agreed, then the pre-contract is effectively a final contract and is likely to be binding."

I can’t believe this rumour…. Surely it’s a ploy to up the ante on the Norwegian?
01 Feb 2025 06:50:52
Our biggest problem in CL or indeed against any half decent opposition is our midfield.
Our defence is exposed time and time again, due to two things IMHO;
1) lack of physical DCM.
2) Hatate and Engels and lesser extent Calmac giving ball away more than they should. I get the former two take risks and try “big passes” but too many times we are on the back foot.
We are now having teams including the Rangers now setting up to exploit this. This along with pressing our defenders has picked up/ got worse since Christmas time.
BR needs to deal with this.
29 Jan 2025 22:37:59
Or 10 mins in.
Overall poor performances from too many players. Midfield especially…. Not just tonight but we get bullied, overrun and outrun on to many occasions and games.
They could have scored 6 0r 7.
Need to sort the pivotal midfield area out… that’s far too many games were we struggle to compete.
19 Jan 2025 08:25:11
My take was we started well, missed lots of good chances and this, as for most teams drains you somewhat. Missing chances also can provide an impetus and motivation to the opposition.
I feel this happened yesterday. Killie were always in the game.
It’s obvious but scoring goals changes things big time … we all know that. Likewise missing chances also has an impact.
We need a much better conversion rate on the chances we create.
Also, our defence as a unit isn’t performing of late. Offering up too much to the opposition game after game.
We need to fix both ends.
14 Jan 2025 22:45:11
Agree with you Buzz.
Just seen BR getting interviewed there. Not happy.
Can’t expect to win games with so many poor performers on the park. Idah and Trusty especially. It looked to me Idah didn’t fancy going up against the goalie when he was favourite at 1-0. That’s not a good look. Be interesting if BR drops him and Trusty.
Can’t win them all but we are not firing on all cylinders and look soft in the middle of the park and in centre of defence. We are also missing too many easy chances.
We might have a big pool of players but we depend on a core and we will continue to do that for the remainder of the season. Not sure the fringe players can step up.
05 Jan 2025 06:53:00
Decent team and Idah needs 2 or 3 games.
I hope he can pulll it off but needs to show a lot more. We need a CF with a good first touch, pace and hold up play and not least, someone who can convert a decent ratio of chances. We have missed that this season so far.
