I posted last week about LG being a pratt and how it might cost us if Dembele was injured, Now that maybe exactly what could occur. Last week before he was banned I was castigated for slating LG now i wonder how you would feel if we lost out on europe completely because of a lack of a goalscoring forward.
We could not only lose out on new players but we could lose those who are at the club and want CL football, the lost revenue all because a player went to put a scarf round a goalpost
The same could apply to those posters who are supporting the GB. We could see the stadium closed and have team play in front of an empty paradise just so some idiots can make a politcal point, You cannot use football stadia for politics if you want to protest do it outside Government offices, Or maybe perhaps that does not suit you as that won't get the same publicity.
{Ed007's Note - And there was me thinking the whole point of a protest was to get as much publicity as you can for something. As for LG, don't you think you've made the point yourself by saying 'all because a player went to put a scarf round a goalpost'? It's a nonsense charge and punishment that Celtic should have challenged.
It's also ridiculous that the slow recruitment policy has put us in the same position as last year with no available strikers, the Club has known we need a striker and haven't addressed that yet.
I'm just hoping that someone in another section remembers the pyro for tomorrow, maybe LG will bring them, I heard he's invited members of the GB to the game to watch it in his box and Izzy & KT offered to get them tickets ;)
Sounds to me like you're choking for us to get beat to have a 'told you' so moment.}

What about throwing that Michael Johnstone in at centre forward?
25 Jul 2017 17:21:33
I'm more worried about the back door. We've got goals in us against them even without Griff and Moussa (if he is missing)
25 Jul 2017 17:23:40
So it would be LG fault if we lost 1 game because he isn't playing? We have a squad of players who win and loose games together not 1 individual. Sure griffiths is daft as a brush, he should hopefully learn from this.

Play Sinclair up front and put Benyu on left as the boy can play. With ON in midfield with SB and Rogic there is enough threat to play without a main recognised striker imo. We did it twice last season and managed to score 5 goals each time so why not?
25 Jul 2017 17:49:00
We will still put two or three past them.

The Hun can sing sectarian anti-catholic abuse for 90 minutes, lob coins and Buckie bottles at LG and sing songs about famine and child abuse or attack our managers and captains inside stadiums, beat their drums, flaunt their sashes and block the streets and put racist slogans and statues of Our Lady on bonfires outside them and not a dickie bird is said. But don't just don't tie your Celtic scarf tae a Huns goalpost. Geez a break Jonace for feck sake. Some TIMS on hear are getting sorer to listen to than the Huns. The Celtic family. for 50 plus years I thought so. Me thinketh many have forgotten their auld arse.

Throw young Aitchison in.
25 Jul 2017 18:05:13
I think it will be very interesting to see if Armstrong starts cos I can't see him and Ntcham both starting.

jFP. You always talk sense mate. Unfortunately this is the rubbish hole of a Britain that we live in. If your not a Tory blue nose you're stuffed. I've lived in the north east of England for 15 years now and the rubbish that's reported about us and the crap I get from Union Jack wearing nobs is a disgrace. But nobody gives a rubbish about Tims.

Cheers VT-I don't have a racist, bigoted or anti-English bone in my body but you're living in the Brexit capital of the world and the ignorance they show towards Scottish and Irish issues is mind boggling that folk can be that thick! ☘ï¸.

I think BR will play his best 11 players tomorrow and adapt the formation around that. Its certainly not an occassion to throw in Ralston, Aitchison or Johnstone. Probably not even Ajer. Armstrong played great at right back in a game last season and has plenty of pace to get up and down the flank, allowing Lustig to play CB. Tierney was also tried at CB in pre season with Hayes LB, so that's an option. He could also play up front due to his pace. Personally think we'll start with a 3-5-2 but with the personnel to allow us to change formation easily if need be:
Gordon
Lustig
Jozo
KT
Forrest
Armstrong
Broony
Ntcham
Mcgregor/ Hayes
Rogic
Sinclair.

Good post JFP. Whilst I agree that the GB let themselves down last week the attention on this has been a bit ott.
Now look at sevco and the blatantly sectarian, anti Catholic, child abuse related and banned songs that a sizeable element sang at all the fixtures against ourselves and no real backlash or condemnation from the press or our club.
Factor in the attacks on our players, the racial abuse and PL has been too quiet.
Whilst I'm disappointed in the unnecessary focus brought due to recent events it pisses me off that our club have not come out in the strongest terms condemning and shaming the actions of the other mob last season or their sister team over in NI.
PL used to hog the limelight and now becomes Mr Invisible!

Weatherspoons Lambton Worm mate!
25 Jul 2017 21:08:59
that could be it mate 18 of us plus meeting another load lol.
25 Jul 2017 22:15:21
Yes, but a banner is easy to keep plastering over the newspapers and TV screens, and getting attention drawn to itself, and there is no way PL or anybody else could defend a blatantly paramilitary one, in this day and age.
