Let's All Laugh At Celtic Thread

Brothers and Sisters - solidarity man!

He's right, though! They've done 9IAR and could still complete a quadruple treble. Their dominance wasn't going to last forever, and frankly if it had it would have ruined the Scottish game...

Glorious, glorious reading. I was wondering how long it would take for Celtic fans to shift away from their 'Shoot the Board' mentality to one of 'Rangers have financially doped - we're the victims' and Phil has certainly got that ball rolling.

I'd also like to make a few more comments:

  1. He claims Rangers currently have a team which they cannot afford. Celtic are in the exact same position in the sense that the level of their operating costs will result in a loss without a marquee player sale or a Champions League windfall, as demonstrated by their most recent accounts.
  2. He claims Rangers currently owe HMRC millions. HMRC have allowed a deferral of tax payments, something which Celtic have also taken advantage of, as demonstrated by their most recent accounts. This does not fit his narrative however.
  3. Long may your hurt and anguish continue.

I haven’t even read a word that Phil has said, but I am certain it will be absolute batshit mentalness from the first word to the last. I remember he managed to gain some sort of cult following from non Celtic fans during Rangers demise, where he would publish novel length articles scrutinising Rangers accounts with the confidence of a professional time-served tax expert, when in reality he is as thick as shite in the neck of a bottle who believes any and every attack upon Celtic or their fans is driven by sectarianism and bigotry. He’s a genuinely dangerous character who holds the sort of opinions that should see his every word mocked, but to this day there is Celtic fans out there who treat his words as gospel.

If Tommy ever had the plot, he lost it a long time ago.

 

I feel so bad for him, he obviously has no idea how pathetic he looks making these party political broadcasts to other Celtic fans. I just cannot imagine having my life so intertwined with the success of a football team that I would ever contemplate making a video such as that, it really does sadden me that other people do. 
 

With regards to Tommy Sheridan, I had the pleasure of watching a bunch of neds tear down his SSP posters that he was tie-wrapping to lamp posts on Paisley Road West about 12 odd years ago. I was in a pub in Cardonald waiting on a bus coming to pick me and a few others up on the way to a wedding I was attending, when one of the regulars from the pub came in to tell us Tommy Sheridan had a set of ladders out and was making his way up the road being followed by a group of neds who were pulling his signs down as quick as he was putting them up. We all went outside to watch as it seemed like quite the once in a lifetime opportunity that couldn’t be missed.
 

To everyone’s delight what the guy said was spot on, and Tommy traipsed past the door of the pub muttering away to himself angrily with a step ladder under his arm, as a bunch of 16 year old bams in Ajax and Inter Milan tracksuits booted his Scottish Socialist Party signs all over the street. Genuinely one of the best things I’ve ever seen and I’m so grateful that fate put me in a position to be able to witness it with my own eyes.

Claiming that Conor Hazard is going to get game time in the league consigned that one the utter fiction bin for me. Way too far.

Ageeed. Lennon made changes on Thursday in a game that they had nothing to play for. I believe he was probably looking to keep senior players fresh for Sunday rather than drop them for their poor form.

By all accounts they performed well, but I’d be willing to wager that players like Hazard, Turnbull and Soro will be dropped on Sunday regardless of how well they played on Thursday.

Maybe not Turnbull. He is a player who will get in sooner or later. I dont know about Soro. Hazard is absolutely average though. Theres simply no way hes as good as Barkas or Bain.

Brown could possibly still have a role to play in certain games, but he’s certainly not needed in games against your St. Mirrens or Ross County’s. McGregor didn’t even have a particularly good game against Lille, but his positioning brought the Celtic team 10 or 15 yards up the pitch. Brown drops back to take the ball off the centre backs and that in turn pulls the other midfielders back to take the ball from Brown.

Turnbull should be a regular imo, he’s an excellent player who can win the ball high up the pitch and has the quality to find a pass to start an attack. Going by the game on Thursday night, his set peice delivery is much better than Christies as well.

Lennon will be taking a big wager if he drops Turnbull and Soro

I can see it happening to be honest. Turnbull may survive but I’d be surprised if Brown and Christie don’t come back in if they are available.

With the way these Celtic fans are carrying on with needy mass gatherings and candlelit vigils, you would be forgiven for thinking Princess Diana had died again rather than a football team had lost a couple of matches.

A tragic fan base comprised of oddballs.

I just can't get enough.
