Anyone watch the night stalker. Go on to YouTube and see the interviews of him in prison on death row. The is sick and even got married.

I watched it all in one go yesterday, Scary stuff, he looked evil.

Malika and Paul ah don’t watch the television is Mo Johnston in a film?

11 Feb 2021 20:13:19
I think that's a different one JFP, THE TRACKIE HAWKER 😉.

If only the cops had stayed or
had a stake out at the dentist a little longer.

Does anybody think with proper DOF and good scouting, neil Lennon could turn this around and be a success next season. Am not his biggest fan but I feel it's not all down to him. What's peoples thoughts? Maybe? or flat out no and won't back the idea at all?

11 Feb 2021 15:41:52
There’s been too many times this season the players have looked clueless.
I don’t think the manager and his coaching staff put enough preparation into our games.
And it shows.
Celtic are also all over the place when trying to defend a set piece.
I’m looking forward to the changes.

The only keeper is Kennedy but would move him to the development team. I like Kennedy and think he has got lots to offer but think the new manager should be allowed a fresh start and chance to do it his own way.

As much as I like Lennon, our club has went backwards under his tenure, whether it was all down to him is anyone's guess but his time is up. Lots of fans have their mind made up.

11 Feb 2021 17:52:10
Both fair points I'd say change would be best all round bring in some freshness, wish lennon all the best for his great service to club. New chapter needed with big clear out of players.

11 Feb 2021 18:30:15
A DOF and a good coach would make a world of difference. I’m probably alone in this but I don’t think the recruitment has been that bad, it’s just the coaching of the players had been horrendous.

11 Feb 2021 18:51:26
It's an interesting question but fir me its cear the decks, a new D. O. F, Manager and coaching staff for the 1st team as well as several players coming and going.
This season has been a shambles and NL is being apoarently paid the thick end of 50K a week for the privelage.

11 Feb 2021 19:02:50
Regardless of all other aspects, this is a results based business and too many key results haven’t been good enough. Europe has been an absolute embarrassment essentially down to Lawell and his failure of preparation. But Lennon is responsible for the team and the ensuing results.

11 Feb 2021 19:13:51
No chance Lennon himself has made FAR to many mistakes and REALLY bad judgement in games that he should never be given a second chance as our manager. Team formation and substitutions are his shout and the number of times he has ballsed it up is just ridiculous not for me get him out.

11 Feb 2021 20:12:26
Nooooooooooooo.

11 Feb 2021 21:56:50
No way is Lennon on 50K a week. When oldco went bust, McCoist was on 750K and that was more than Lennon at the time. I would imagine he may be on slightly more now but not that much more.

11 Feb 2021 09:25:48
Hope young Welsh is fit for sun as the thought of Duffy playing gives me the fear. should have had an alternative to Davies lined up.

11 Feb 2021 09:56:43
Mally mate its celtic we are talking about. No plan B.

11 Feb 2021 10:27:26
Do we know the extent of Welsh’s injuries yet? What’s the remaining options at centre half we must be running out of them. Is it back to Duffy and Bitton or is he injured I’m losing track. If it wasn’t for bad luck this season we would have had none.

11 Feb 2021 11:21:12
Mally it was sheer negligence on lennon and celtics part not getting another CB in. Lennon was quick enough to tell us after julliens injury a CB In January was needed, clearly davies was the No1 choice but to have no back up plan to him is ridiculous. Bitton will never be a CB good enough for Celtic and to be fair to him it isn’t his natural position, and Duffy has just been an absolute disaster of a signing. He should never wear the hoops again, he just brings fear right across the defence and through the team when he plays. Not getting another CB In just confirms the type of season we’ve had. 4 weeks lennon and co had to bring a loan CB in and nothing, not good enough.

11 Feb 2021 12:02:17
Said at the start of Jan that if we didn't get one then we were left with Duffy and Bitton Welsh and ajer. Kenny has helped as its allowed ajer to play cb but Duffy and bitton are a disaster in there.

11 Feb 2021 13:31:35
Garry I think or perhaps just hope that the reason we only brought one new face to the club and that was a loan is because the board don't want to invest in the team just now because they know we will have a new manager in place for next year and he will want to bring in his own team 🙏🙏🙏.

11 Feb 2021 13:37:41
Apart from his rash tackle against sevco, I thought Bitton was doing well at CB.

11 Feb 2021 15:01:26
The challenge on Welsh was shocking and should be dealt with by the disciplinary mob resulting in a 2 match ban.

11 Feb 2021 16:40:04
The pass to him was never on either.

11 Feb 2021 17:51:18
Tony2bhoy, like u I also hope that’s why money wasn’t spent in January, however IMO the best in terms of the league Celtic can hope for this season is to try win all remaining league games and reduce the points difference between ourselves and that lot across the city as much as possible, still won’t justify our results and performances up until January but to lose the league to them by a ridiculous points gap is just unthinkable. That’s why I feel we should’ve got a CB loan in at least.

12 Feb 2021 08:51:05
It would be wonderful to think the sole reason for the board not sanctioning the signing of a centre back is due to the fact we are about to appoint a new manager. I am afraid our history of missing out on signings suggests otherwise.

Never expected that score-line.
The early goal once again didn't see us turn the screw and the game was very scrappy until half-time.
Even the guys on the Live Chat were talking Netflix and Box Sets between the first and second goals; as the game lulled and our slender lead caused some concern; but for once we actually looked the fitter side for the last 20, no doubt given a lift by the 2 goal cushion and Saints wilted.

Taylor and Turnbull were terrific; while we matched up well in the middle and the polished Jonjo Kenny looks like he's played there for years and is not half-bad.
We had a lot of good inter-passing for the second half goals and even Rogic (who I gave pelters before the game) had a big influence.
Two 4-0 wins in our last two away games in a row is more like it.
However, every silver-lining etc; means our bad luck with injuries just never ends, with Young Welsh hurt after a shocking tackle, just when he was making the position his own with some solid showings.
It probably means a return to the side for Duffy, who I watched closely tonight and although we kept a clean-sheet, he did make some mistakes again and chances are he will continue the pattern?
One real positive was the amount of blocks and tackles we put-in tonight to protect Bain and I know it's too little too late, as far as results go but we are seeing a few positives for next season; whoever the manager is?

11 Feb 2021 17:48:59
Young Welsh looks a great prospect reminds me a bit of Kennedy.

I noticed an hour before kickoff that St. Mirren have only won back to back league games against Celtic once in the last 130 years.
It happened in 1978 when Alex Ferguson was their manager.
I couldn’t believe it when the commentator mentioned it in the second half.
I didn’t want to mention it before the game incase it jinxed us.
Their back to back win came in the last game of the season in 1978 and it was Jock Stein’s last competitive game as manager.
The defeat also resulted in Celtic failing to qualify for Europe for the first time in 16 years.
The only other time Celtic have lost 2 games in a row to St. Mirren was in 1959.
We lost a league game and then we also lost to St. Mirren in the Scottish Cup.

Great result tonight. Rogic was excellent and David Turnbull is a class act with massive potential. Goodnight and God Bless the Celtic. ☘️.
