My 8 quid stake on the National returned me 7 quid. It's still a loss but it definitely added to the excitement so it was well worth the £1 cost.
I won't be hurrying to try to win it back elsewhere though. lol HH.

10 Apr 2021 18:42:22
who did you put on besty. i had a fiver on farclas and 4 quid on class conti.

10 Apr 2021 18:43:46
@bestybhoy at least it was only a small loss.
Sorry you never took my advice on Rachael Blackmore as she has did the business for me again and kept my bank balance topped up allied to a 50/ 1 place win on Decor Irelandais, so I am a happy Tim after posting profits at both Cheltenham and Aintree (maybe the C.V. has given me INTELLIGENCE ha ha)

{Ed007's Note - Let's not get carried away.... 😉

I bet £2 each way on Chris's Dream but he fell towards the end while running in a decent position so I got nothing from that one.
I also had £2 each way on Any Second Now who came 3rd and that's where my £7 came from.
Tim, I wish I had followed your advice but such a victory would have made me feel as if I was onto something good and I might have continued betting. lol
I have a friend who is a bookie and he always advised me not to bother with it as he will always win in the long run. Wise advice and I'm glad I took it. lol
I might have another bet in 3 or 4 years time. lol HH.

10 Apr 2021 19:59:47
Tim i seen you were punting on Balko de Flos so I stuck £2.50 ew on it cheers £54 in the football kitty.

10 Apr 2021 20:40:41
@Jaw1888 to be fair it was one of the other Eds ED023 who put it up and I had £2 e/ w on also.
It turned out a good day all round for us "tipping EDS" lol.

11 Apr 2021 00:37:59
I had 1st, 3rd and 4th so I'm happy. Didn't bet too much but a healthy enough profit.

10 Apr 2021 16:55:03
I personally didn’t take to Kennedy much the way he seemed to behave earlier in the season, regarding the way he seemed to leave lennie alienated . My view was he was as culpable as the whole team, however I must say it’s refreshing that he has put his head above the parapet to cal out the sfa and their strange decisions regarding sevco.
Gerrard thinks he owns Scottish football, and with them being successful this season he will become more arrogant. Some tit for tat comments will only ramp up the feelings before next weeks game. Hopefully it will stir up the team for next week, even though we have outplayed them the last couple of times without beating them we obviously need the win. Hopefully wipe a bit of the smirk of his face.

I think JK is handling himself well, still want a new manager but it wouldn't bother me if he keeps JK.

10 Apr 2021 17:48:53
JK is by far an improvement from our last manager but for me he is not YET a Celtic manager we need a qualified seasoned manager not some one that is just learning his trade there is to much work to be done all over the club to put a rookie in charge And it needs to be some one fresh that has had no ties to the club in the past Because we have to change direction.

10 Apr 2021 18:04:49
He has got the team creating chances and today for a change we took a few more than in previous weeks. However, I still stand by original view that he should go and learn his trade just like Tommy did at Kilmarnock and let's see what he can achieve, who knows if our next appointment will last months or years?

10 Apr 2021 18:06:46
JK for me, should be away at the end of this season.

He's apparently rated as a coach therefore happy to see him take charge of the youth team should any incoming Head Coach agree to keep him on, but he should be nowhere near the first team.

10 Apr 2021 18:13:47
I enjoyed the game today. Celtic looking a lot like we are use to. Wee jamsie bring width to the team has clearly been missed. Why we never addressed the lack of width in January is puzzling. Sadly wee Jamsie looks like he's done his Hamstring. Fingers crossed its not too serious HH.

10 Apr 2021 19:21:25
JK had had a rough ride from some fans this season. Totally unfair in my opinion, he wasn't making the decisions. HH.

10 Apr 2021 19:37:40
Nonsense Pedro but you're entitled to your opinion.
Tell us exactly why you feel he should be booted out?
Bearing in mind the fact that Lenny made the ultimate calls about who was playing and who wasn't, what is it about his own performance that convinces you he doesn't belong at Celtic?
Give us actual specific facts because if you're making a statement like that then you should at least be prepared to back it up.
It's not enough to bang on about him 'not being good enough' without bringing some facts to the table that are directly related to him and not someone else. HH.

10 Apr 2021 20:10:05
he has done well since being the main man and my own opinion on him is starting to change on jk he certainly has steadied the ship but he has no given right just to be kept on as i would say some supporters think he should.

10 Apr 2021 20:52:31
Agreed liam
My opinion (and it's just my opinion) is that he has had more of a positive impact in a few games than Lenny did in 2 seasons. The idea that he should be kept on is based on what we are seeing, not a blind sense of loyalty. Remember, Rodgers tried to take him to Leicester. He wasn't trying to do it because he thought JK was rubbish like some fans think he is. HH.

10 Apr 2021 20:58:24
Yeah like a few others I don’t mind if he’s kept on it just wound me up a bit how when lennon was struggling he seemed to be all alone, even to the point where Kennedy just shrugged his shoulders. The main point was I’m liking how he’s standing up to Gerrard and rangers and calling them out. Be nice if lawell done the same before he left .

10 Apr 2021 21:34:57
he's certainly fighting our corner.

10 Apr 2021 22:47:47
bestybhoy,
this site is, as far as I'm aware, about opinions, thoughts, views, rumours and discussion on all things related to Celtic FC.

John Kennedy has been very well supported by Celtic since his playing career was tragically ended before it really started.

In recent years, I'm unsure if either NL or RD had much of a choice but to accept that JK would play a part on their first team coaching staff.

In my opinion, any Head Coach worth their salt brings with them their own coaches, they are not dictated to by the likes of PL meaning JK either accepts a role with Celtic outwith the first team, or, should he wish to develop as a coach, takes a role with another club and perhaps returns to Celtic at a later date having tested himself elsewhere.

Again, this is only my opinion, if you or any of the other posters disagree, I can live with that 😉. HH.

10 Apr 2021 23:05:00
Besty i think it's inaccurate to say he's had more impact than Lennon did in 2 years. Lennon won our Europa League group the previous year. But I have to agree on the discussion on JK. it's ridiculous to blame an assistant for a manager's implosion.

10 Apr 2021 23:38:48
We need a manager that will improve players. BR improved almost everyone. We don't need a manager to beat livi 6-0 at home. That should be easy and a given for a celtic manager. Fair play to JK for getting results but I'm not seeing anything to suggest the team and players are doing anything more than bare minimum.

10 Apr 2021 16:27:49
And that's why Moi must start next week and if we can get him for £5m next season we have to pay the money.

10 Apr 2021 16:51:56
Another great finish from Christie.
Hail Hail🍀🍀🍀.

10 Apr 2021 18:56:37
Jonbhoy

If we can buy Nelly Noosy for £5m he’s a steal. We haven’t seen the best of him and we’ll be under new management.

10 Apr 2021 16:15:54
Frustrating times just now, let's hope the club finally show some ambition - perfect time to build the correct infrastructure. Fingers crossed we now have a forward thinking CEO, now go and get a top DOF and Top Coach and let’s get our trophies back.

🍀🍀🍀.

First time poster here.

Frustrating times just now, fingers crossed the board step up to the plate for once. Perfect time to build the correct infrastructure - hopefully we now have a forward thinking CEO coming in, now let's get a Top DoF and Coach in ASAP and get out trophies back.

Hail Hail

OK Bhoys/ Ghirls Grand National today at 5.15 on STV

You cannot ignore Cloth Cap even though odds are so short around 11/ 2 I got 13/ 2 with PP with their "Bets boost"
Rachael Blackmore made me a few quid at Cheltenham with SIX winners and I was on them all, thanks to my girls nagging lol she rides Minella Times 9/ 1
I know at the moment Dermot Desmond is not the fans favourite just now but he once owned Kimberlite Candy 20/ 1 so make of that what you will
A big outsider is Shattered Love 50/ 1 who COULD outrun his odds and maybe even run into a place with six on offer with PP and Sly

Talking of Dermot in the 3.35 race a horse called Decor Irelandais 25/ 1 is maybe worth a wee each way nibble with Sly paying 5 places

Whatever you back I wish you Good Luck and we all hope all the horses return safely.

10 Apr 2021 12:00:03
Good luck Timalloy, ANIBALE FLY each way for me, 4th and 5th last two national runnings so gets round the track and 9lb lower.

10 Apr 2021 13:51:38
Nae animals wur Hermed after wee timbo backin thum, teas n seas applie.

10 Apr 2021 14:13:15
I've got mine on 🤞 I have a funny feeling Rachael Blackmore might pull it off. Good luck later to anyone that's had a bet.
