Yes Dannyh14, it was a risk worth taking from a footballing point of view, as in previous years it proved to be a game changer. Losing against them, totally against the run of play, on the day we were flying out to a training camp is not a reason to cancel something that was planned months in advance. And I for one hadn't, and never will stop believing in our ability to still push this all the way. Given the year we have all had, I suspect that this season will not yet pan out as some seem certain that it will, whether we catch them or not.

And while we are all suffering from this C.V., blaming Celtic or our Manager/ CEO for trying everything they can to give us an edge is not fair. And while it has back fired for now, it doesn't mean it wasn't worth the risk, as I am confident will become clear as the season goes forward. Celtic have the most stringent C.V. protocols in the SPL, and a couple of photos taken in Dubai have been used to sow dissent amongst our fans by people who have no love for our club. Their outrage is nothing to do with the health crisis, but everything to do with damaging our club, and in particular our CEO whose influence here and in Europe they fear most of all. I for one won't be playing their game, and slagging our club off in public, even when our best efforts don't work out as planned.

Well the risk on the football point of view worked out bloody marvellous didn’t it! 13 first team players self isolating for 3 games and no strikers at all to play in the mean time! Well worth the risk of flying out in the middle of a C.V. to do training they could have easily done at lennoxtown where we have recorded zero C.V. positive tests all season! So you keep thinking taking risks with people’s health is ok and al live in the real world 👍🏼👍🏼.

Belfast Tim i was at first ok with club going to Dubai as I was led to believe it was one of the safest places in the world regarding c. v and look what happened.

It was a risk that should of been avoided by club and had board acted back in November to remove Lennon as manager then maybe club wouldn't of needed dubai trip to turn things around.

14 Jan 2021 21:58:54
Been on this site a few times and there’s a lot I agree on and a lot I don’t! But for me after the season we have had 21 points behind that lot and bn beating by them twice
There’s no way they should have went away
And because of that we are missing 13 first team players
What a joke 🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬
Also Lennon should have never got the job in the first place come on! I mean at Bolton he did nothing
Hibs the same so why the board thought to get him I don’t know 🤷‍♂️🤷‍♂️🤷‍♂️🤷‍♂️ Yes we won the league but they were crap after jan also we had big frazer in net and we had a settled team.

15 Jan 2021 01:21:10
If with you Belfast Celt, it was the right decision to go away. Unfortunately, one of our players got CV and it has impacted on the team.

However, when we went Dubai was a safer place to be than Scotland.

15 Jan 2021 11:51:37
Whose to say the Jullien wasn’t positive before the team flew out, incubation of CV is, at a guess, up to 14 days. Negative tests are not 100% . Getting fed up reading crap about the Dubai trip. Any group of people who are in constant close proximity, are at risk, so Lennoxtown and Parkhead would present the same potential. We are having a rubbish time but it has nothing to do with going abroad, unless, of course, anyone can prove 100% that Jullien picked up CV there.

15 Jan 2021 14:09:14
Chasa obviously it can’t be proved but the fact he’s injured and had no place at a training camp should’ve made this a hell of a lot easier. He doesn’t travel and there’s no cv issues.

15 Jan 2021 16:27:54
Back to my original point, he may have been positive before he travelled. So unless he caught it there, Dubai may be completely irrelevant.

16 Jan 2021 08:53:39
But if he stays here and has it then the rest of the players isolating now would’ve been available.

14 Jan 2021 18:16:01
****er Durham on Talksport calling for us to be demoted to the 3rd division. Since when did he become one of them? Always hated that guy now I know why.

14 Jan 2021 18:47:15
He talks more pish than Charlie Nicholas and that is saying something.

14 Jan 2021 18:54:46
Hatred has built up over the years due to the success of Celtic Football Club.
The media in Scotland have been the same.
It’s been a great period in our unbroken history and it’s been hell for the people who love to hate our club.
They were forced to watch Celtic win 9 titles in a row, which included an Invincible season and a Quadruple Treble.
No matter how much they hate us, they can’t ever take away these glory years.

Buzz Bomb

Take our success over the last 10 neigh 20 years and throw our heritage and manager into the the mix then add to that the BBC’’s (British Brainwashing Corporation) attitude and institutionalised anti-Catholicism and anti-Irishness and you will arrive at the recipe for their hatred.

Would you want it any other way?

Jesus said to his disciples:

“If the world hates you know that it hated me first. If you belonged to the world the world would love you as its own. But because you do not belong to the world and I have chosen you out of the world the world hates you too.

John 15:18-21.

Andres Iniesta believed Celtic and Barcelona had something in common when he said “ a symbol of a culture and community that has not always been made welcome in their respective countries”.

14 Jan 2021 20:38:18
BB I’ve been a fb since I was 4 years of age and can identify with that comment. I remember Iniesta being clapped off after one of the best performances I’ve seen at Celtic Park. What a player. He was good enough to wear the Hoops.

14 Jan 2021 22:59:25
Jfp the boy who dits behind me was shouting abuse at me for applauding Inesta that night then sat sheepish as the rest of the section joined me 🤣🤣.

14 Jan 2021 23:34:23
There are certain players that have made an impression on me, just purely for their pure football genius, Iniesta was one of them.

15 Jan 2021 11:17:33
I still cringe a bit when i think of iniesta getting clapped off 😂.

Due to the Scottish Cup rounds being rescheduled,
The Celtic V St. Mirren rearranged fixture has been brought forward to Saturday January 30th @ 3pm.
It was first moved due to Celtic participating in the Scottish Cup Semi Final in November and then it got rearranged for February 3rd.

14 Jan 2021 21:02:45
is that 2 games in hand we play this month then buzz.

14 Jan 2021 22:34:53
United Ireland our rearranged games are
Livingston V Celtic January 20th
Celtic V St. Mirren. January 30th
St. Mirren. V Celtic. February 10th
Celtic. V Aberdeen February 17th
The reason there’s 4 games is we were due to play away to St. Mirren next Saturday but they have a league cup Semi Final to play and now that game is February 10th.

Going on transfers in this or the summer is going to be a hard sell players agents will b advising to let it go don't go near Celtic. Will need to be a big sell to attract anyone to the club.

14 Jan 2021 15:34:59
Why would an agent tell a player don't go near Celtic? Looking forward to your explanation😂.

14 Jan 2021 19:47:41
if i was an agent i would tell my players do not go near celtic because if you have a couple of bad games you will be attacked by your own supporter by attacking the team bus. and being totally abused as i have said before on here i have supported celtic for seventy years and i have never seen anything like the last couple of months by so called supporters not even by rangers fans.

{Ed007's Note - Absolute nonsense. I don't usually play whataboutery and I have no idea why you're bringing them into it but didn't TRIFK fans storm their stadium to attack & injure staff, storm their POTY awards in a hotel where members of the public were staying and publicly threaten everyone connected to their klub via the media?
Have you forgotten about the effigies of the board being strung up outside Ibrox, have you forgotten the Scottish Cup Final when they lost to Hibs, or Manchester?}

14 Jan 2021 20:19:39
See they Celtic grandas ed 😂.

{Ed007's Note - I know 😂 What are they like....

14 Jan 2021 20:37:36
Ed 007 some folk have very short memories.

{Ed007's Note - But cracking imaginations.}

15 Jan 2021 00:13:32
Some say I look like Danny migraine ed ☺.

{Ed007's Note - That must cause you a few headaches...... 😯

16 Jan 2021 14:15:55
Surprisingly not much ed.

14 Jan 2021 11:34:59
Would the boy potter at Brighton be a shout for manager. i've watched them loads this season and they are well drilled and play excellent football on a shoe string budget.

14 Jan 2021 11:52:40
Only if he wears the wee round glasses 😀.

14 Jan 2021 12:50:41
Think we missed the boat on that one mally, imo that is the type of coach we should look at.
Developing our players and youth.

14 Jan 2021 15:15:03
I thought we were linked with him before he got the Brighton job, he does seem a decent coach .

14 Jan 2021 15:20:18
Got a good joke about billy Reid but don’t think I can post it 😂.

14 Jan 2021 18:41:41
Sergej Rebrov from Ferencvaros for me.

14 Jan 2021 19:51:16
Jure, I think he’s a bit old to play upront for us nowadays. 🤣🤣.

15 Jan 2021 01:27:07
Is it the wan were he is compared to a taxi Steph? lol.

Looks like Duffy is off Nottingham forrest can't play for us have to unload rogic nitcham sell the rest that don't want to be there and rebuild with a new manager and hopefully lawell will resign as season ticket holders are very upset with him as he has ruined celtic its a shambles he never was up for the challenge in Europe or the league as we have witnessed that team under a decent manager coached right would have been OK but leaving new players on the bench and no faith is pathetic and leaving it too late is a joke time for a clear out the apology came far too late as the decision to keep a manager lost at sea cost us a celtic fans dearly you only get judged in results but too be hanging on to this managers have walked for less it where our club has let its standard slip which nobody was interested in at management level humiliation is a bitter pill to swallow and were getting plenty of it stop the rot and put celtic back where they belong as champions not as this no idea or fight left.

14 Jan 2021 10:49:09
i think saying he has ruined celtic is taking it a bit far mate we have had a really bad season. before this season we have seen success none of us thought we would ever see but that all seems to get over looked and forgot about because how this season has turned out.

wee have had a poor season but we just need a new manager and a DOF and just leave the footballing side of things to the football men and people like lawell just deal with the money side and listen to the football people when it comes to football matters. so i think saying they have ruined celtic is taking it a bit far if you want to see how a football club is ruined look back to 2012 now that is how a football club is ruined. we have had a poor season time to regroup and make better decisions on the football side of things and all is well.

14 Jan 2021 12:11:49
He's ruined Celtic? I must have imagined the last 9 years and quadruple treble.

This is what happens when kids grow up only knowing success, they spit the dummy out the first sign of things not going their way.

14 Jan 2021 12:21:35
I think we have a code red sevvie inside the perimeter fence? 😂 hindsight is a wonderful thing and ifs buts n maybes are too. if the manager dropped Christie brown and the like and brought in Soro and turnbull and the failed to impress he would’ve been slaughtered? He was caught between a rock and a hard place the pressure of 10IAR was on and could he drop the guys who had been there done that and won 9iar? Too many panty wetters about just now the parkers brigade. let’s get behind the team the manager and the players and cheer them on instead of falling for all the sevvie sympathising press’s antics HH 🍀.

14 Jan 2021 12:49:11
Hindsight is when you can't for see the future you would have to be totally blind if you couldn't see that Lennon was and never has been the man for the job. Put your glasses on mate. Panty wetter because you want the best for your team and not just be a zombie and except anything that the board feed you wake up.

14 Jan 2021 15:30:34
Hindsight is being wise after the event, being able to see into the future is not possible, but if you don't learn from the past, you will keep doing the same thing wrong in the future, Lenny, for whatever reason, never learned from his mistakes in picking the wrong team and using the wrong system, and.
