great to see that wee rat neymar greeting like a big waen. lol.
24 Aug 2020 16:33:23
Lost money on PSG last night - but I don't care as Neymar losing was a win as well.
Later Champions.
23 Aug 2020 21:58:30
Oh those Neymar tears are so satisfying š¤š¤š¤.

Has anybody seen the Stuart Hay sketch about the Castore shirts. Itās Hilarious.
23 Aug 2020 21:21:46
hilarious. pure junk.
23 Aug 2020 21:33:44
its brilliant.
23 Aug 2020 22:03:40
āThereās been a f*ck up,
Theyāve f*cked it upā.

The adidas gear looks good
ADIDAS do not manufacture anything
They design
They specify
And then invest in brand
There have been some downside reports of the celtic gear in terms of specifications
Football gear is not manufactured to last
Yes, we have the brand and it is more recognised but too many people think adidas make this stuff
They absolutely do not.
24 Aug 2020 12:16:19
Castore should learn from the good business model of Adidas.
Whatever Adidas do, it works.
24 Aug 2020 14:45:42
Buzz bomb in the battle of the brands Nike have demolished adidas . but its cyclical and adidas are rebounding
Brands like castore. good luck to them for trying to achieve a share of a very competitive market . still happy with adidas however.
24 Aug 2020 14:58:56
I agree Lubo
Adidas are the second best brand behind Nike.
25 Aug 2020 08:13:54
But in the end does it not just come down to producing a garment of sufficient quality of material and workmanship of production, all the rest is hype and advertising, the apparent abysmal quality control of Castore just shows them up to be a complete shower of amateur wide boys out to try to make a fast buck out of what must be the easiest supporters to string along in world football.
But my question is why doesn't Celtic make their own gear, in these strange times about to get much stranger, there are going to be a lot of unemployed people with experience in the rag trade, Celtic could design and manufacture all their own replica shirts and souvenir and bric brac, why do we have to rely on multinationals like Adidas etc.
23 Aug 2020 20:06:44
I was wondering how long it would take the commentator to mention the Lisbon lions.
Less than 4 minutes was impressive.
23 Aug 2020 20:18:07
Proud as punch buzz u can Imigine the lions watching this brimming with pride when they sayed it superb š.
23 Aug 2020 21:02:56
sure makes you so proud.

took my dug for a walk and he got talking to the dug along the street and he says when he was at pets at home for a bath and hair cut.
another dug it was in the saloon told him that the dug across the back from him was at the park the day before and the wee dug he runs about the park with was barking at him that we were signing barkas.
sorry I'm late with the post lads shoulda put this up a few weeks ago.
23 Aug 2020 19:20:02
And you typed that?
It was the same dug that started the rumour about Woofe to rangers and everybody said the dug was Barkers
Well who's woofing now?
Because the dug couldnae pronounce his Rs, it came out as Woofe not Roofe .
Trust the dugs . especially LABS.
23 Aug 2020 19:21:55
Barkas mad u are united ireland.
23 Aug 2020 19:34:11
Was it not Woffe. š.
23 Aug 2020 19:49:33
That's a good one BB
Should've thought of that one.
23 Aug 2020 21:07:22
heard we are after jack russell huddersfield the terriers.
24 Aug 2020 11:22:36
I heard we were after a German left sided centre half called Dober Rottwheiler . and a Brazilian called " cockapoo"
23 Aug 2020 15:11:35
Why doesn't mcgregor or forrest take corners if they are on the pitch, maybe christie is the only one willing to stand up and take them. Like penalties, remember griffiths saying he wouldn't take another one. Surely lennon and brown should have said to ryan to stop and let somebody else try and do better, its a team game and everyone on the pitch should take responsibility.
23 Aug 2020 17:03:35
I can't believe in 2o2o we are talking about a player that cannot take a corner but insists on doing so AND others who won't take corners
I used to think that players focused on improving every week
They don't
They tick over with light training
They do not work on weaknesses and they rarely prepare for opposition either
They are lazy
Coaches are lazy
Manager is lazy
They get paid fortunes for this
Thankfully, Celtic are not unique in their general apathy towards improving
This is WHY we watch players month after month after month make the same sort of mistakes whether it is mistimed jumps, going to ground, misplaced passing, failing to deal with and break a press, countering with 3 on 2 and messing it up
Again, thankfully Celtic are not alone
Pity really.
23 Aug 2020 17:46:09
I thought we were only training twice a week because C.V.?
23 Aug 2020 18:00:18
Corners, free kicks, shooting (with both feet) , dribbling and heading (although there has been recent guidelines on age) are all basic skills that potential footballers learn as soon as they can walk.
Unfortunately many coaches concentrate on fitness and stamina, thinking the skills are natural. However, like anything that involves technical ability, it needs practice, practice, practice.
The best players - no matter how gifted - knew this and spent extra hours on their own (like Jinky, Ronaldo and Wayne Rooney) until it was second nature and still they kept working hard to be the best.
When players are to dumb or lazy to improve on a weakness or learn a particular skill, the coaches should remind them of their duties.
23 Aug 2020 18:53:01
If only
I heard that KT obsessed over improvement
It is not, sadly, a common phenomena with footballers
Note my godson 22 months old is a potential future player and CAN WLAK . but he cannot take corners or free kicks, he can't head the ball either, but HE CAN DRIBBLE .
23 Aug 2020 18:55:13
McGregor has had his turn with corners and his deliveries werenāt any better.
If we did get Douglas at LB then it would be problem solved.
Another left back Meling scored on his debut for Nimes today. They only paid Ā£900k.
23 Aug 2020 19:02:24
Bollocks how do you know are you at every training session on the cusp of a quadruple treble. but no we're sh@te at everything jeez some folk are never happy.
23 Aug 2020 19:22:46
The rumour is Slippy overworked his players in Dubai.
He treated the sessions like it was pre-season.
It definitely showed with their lack lustre performances.
We need to trust and get behind everyone at the club this season because with the 2020 Scottish cup to add to our already games in hand, Celtic will be playing catch up for the next 6 months.
I donāt think Celtic would have an unhappy dressing room if they are still winning trebles.
I always felt Lenny was the right man to win 10 In A Row but next season I think there will be changes.
23 Aug 2020 19:23:21
We are less rubbish than anybody in scotland . there's a difference and aye I do go to Lennox town when I can get away from work, around 3 but they're already away by that point. CASE RESTED
they could work on corners between 3 and 5, no?
Instead they're all on their play stations playing fortnight or grand theft auto . or angry birds.
23 Aug 2020 19:25:41
How full time footballers arenāt 2 footed now a days baffles me Celtic players are in for 9:30-10 every day and away for 1:30-2 thatās them had there lunch and done some training and they still get 2 days off under Lennon! Tough life.
Magic formula is practice practice practice.
23 Aug 2020 20:09:37
Why go up if you know they're away. yhecreason we score late in games is our fitness how do you know they don't practice set pieces between 10 and 12 or 12 to 1.
23 Aug 2020 23:06:23
Training twice a week?, ever since the C.V. lockdown started, I have never seen so many people out jogging or cycling or walking, there is absolutely no excuse for any professional footballer to let himself get out of condition.
24 Aug 2020 07:41:43
My nephew is 16 and was/ is wanted by a few premier league teams me and his dad had him kicking the ball with both from when he was 4/ 5 he can kick a ball as good with his left as he can with his right he used to be a striker for his home team but was scoring loads so his manager moved him into midfield to give the other boys a chance to score he still finished top scorer now he is playing CB he has only scored a few but he will be a good player for someone soon he also practices corners and free kicks and penalties all the time even though he rarely takes any he just wants to improve as a player and I think all players especially foreign players have the same mindset or players who want to goto the top do. Everyone else is just settling for what they have and an easy life.
24 Aug 2020 11:28:27
Mallytally
They practice set pieces between 1030 and 1045 as that's when you see the balls clearing the Lennox town fences . you can time Christie's corners too as they generally hit the butchers windaes around 1115and the bakers roof at 1130.
24 Aug 2020 16:48:57
Whatever Celtic do is working and a possible Quadtreble is proof.
Itās like the old Duracell adverts when the Sevco bunny runs out of energy and the Celtic bunny was a new lease of life and romps to another treble.
24 Aug 2020 16:23:16
all the best to your nephew marco he sounds a hard worker mate.
23 Aug 2020 15:01:04
The real reason Broony got booked. He said to baby Dallas, "your Da wears Castore" š.
23 Aug 2020 14:24:32
Turnbull will be signing
He wants to come
Cektic offering 2m
And 250k per every 5 appearances up to 3.25m
7% sell onclause with wages around 13k per week plus add ons
4 year deal
This is not contingent on rogic leaving
However, any 3 of 6 could move pre October
Ajer
Griffiths ( loan )
Ntcham
Eddy
Rogic
Klimala ( loan, preferably to SPFL or championship down south)
Ajer wants to move on.
23 Aug 2020 15:52:01
Future predictions so detailed have to have a source. we accept carpet fitters mates and girlfriends, family members close to significant persons within the club or just outside its walls or a mates mates sisters cousins window cleaner.
23 Aug 2020 16:07:34
My grandkids heard it at nurserey.
23 Aug 2020 17:04:37
There is a source
If I am wrong ED can ban me
It is already in motion.
23 Aug 2020 18:05:10
LubomirWho lot of detail there mate must be a good source for u or a bad leek for celtic any time line on this?
23 Aug 2020 18:56:27
Yes, by 5th September.
Celtic want turnbull, and he wants to sign .
The haggle is to do with up front quantum of transfer and how celtic make it up to 3.25m, plus motherwell want 15% of sell on. Celtic way below that .
This one will happen.
23 Aug 2020 20:50:43
Hope so let's wait and see.
23 Aug 2020 13:56:04
Ryan Christie has to try and get the balance right of knowing when to take a dig and knowing when to pass to put someone else through to many times picking the wrong option.
23 Aug 2020 14:17:00
On a positive note,
The opposition find it hard to pin Christie down,
He finds loads of space and runs at the defences time after time.
And he also never hides or gives up and that is a huge quality to have.
His negatives are the World Cup balls instead of playing the simple ball.
Ryanās dead ball deliveries are not good enough, so thatās up to Lennon to put someone else on the corners etc.
Christie has showed he is an intelligent player and if he can be more consistent with his choices, then he has the potential to be Scottish player of the year this season.
23 Aug 2020 14:18:52
D&P
Christie has LONG made it about himself . he is committed and he does want to take his career as far as possible but he promotew the ME and relegate the importance of TEAM too often
Currently, we have too many players either wanting a move or wanting a game.
The energy and balance and togetherness isn't where it needs to be for us to see improvement
The players are protected, very well paid and unfortunately, a little too pampered and interested in their next move.
23 Aug 2020 14:22:51
I was shouting at the TV yesterday due to the shoot on sight policy he seems to have adopted but then we scored from one of them š.
23 Aug 2020 14:32:53
maybe the managers told him to shoot on site?
23 Aug 2020 14:48:26
Itās hard to say someone didnāt have a good game when he personally had at least 8 shots at goal. Thatās a good return for a player playing wide on the right.
23 Aug 2020 14:51:47
buzz great post. other than eddy christie is our most dangerous player.
23 Aug 2020 16:10:52
Kriss commons syndrome šš.
23 Aug 2020 17:54:50
Statistics, damn statistics and lies .
Its hard to day someone had a had game where they've have x shots on goal . what a load of TRIPE .
Of course you can IF his shots are mince or where they opt to shoot when there's better options
Surely it's a balance. you cannot say 8 shots equals a good game. behave yourself.
23 Aug 2020 19:01:27
Lubo
Granted only 2 were on target.
But to be fair to Christie their keeper made good saves.
On another day Christie could have had a hat-trick and I think itās still positive he is getting into good positions to have a shot at goal.
23 Aug 2020 13:33:32
I mentioned LG to Aberdeen a while ago
Its true,
More WORRYINGLY and this is from the inside via family who are in management and former players ( direct family members ) and they know I'm posting
Things are NOT good at CFC
Yesterday, selection was NL flexing and spoiling for a fight with PL and Board . he was doing a Brendan ( remember tynecastle)
NL not happy with squad
Senior players not happy with NL and selections
Confusion across squad and a leadership void, apparently
We can still achieve our targets but I am hearing that its not a happy camp
The NL decisions yesterday were designed to MAKE A POINT . hardly mature
We overstate our togetherness and professionalism
Best fans in the world and a HUGE commitment from fans again but there are some HUGE egos and injured egos behind the scenes
Not ideal in a season of seismic proportions.
23 Aug 2020 14:34:08
Lennonās decision yesterday was to fit Ntcham into the team, nothing else.
He wasnāt trying to make a point.
A few fans wanted Ntcham into the starting lineup, myself included.
I remember that game at Tynecastle when we played Kouassi and a few others,
It was in between the 2 CL qualifying games against AEK.
Ronnie done the same and played a reserve team away to Inverness before Celtic played in CL qualifiers and I think we dropped a couple of points.
Lennon didnāt play a weakened side.
I believe once Ajeti is match fit, Celtic will play a 3-5-2 and the balance will be similar to when Celtic won 24 out of 25 domestic games last season.
23 Aug 2020 14:57:13
Lubomir. When Lennon was appointed last year the board Knew what Lennon was like, and Lennon knew what the board was like, It's not as if they hadn't worked with each other before.
When Lennon was given the job, Lawwell said that the club hadn't even looked at anybody else. Does anyone honestly think there weren't better options for the job? .
The way Celtic operate won't change until our success on the field starts to dry up. Until then Lawwell will always go for the cheapest option which is why Lennon was the only candidate.
23 Aug 2020 15:25:17
So yous were crying out for ntcham he played him other than ajer what did he do wrong his subs won the game . Good management on his part.
23 Aug 2020 15:33:52
lubomir, why are you spouting this rubbish. if your family are celtic people they definitely do not want to see this splattered over on rumour pages.
23 Aug 2020 15:45:25
What a load of nonsense.
23 Aug 2020 16:19:50
What's going on lads. Lennons subs won the game the tempo incrreased when ntcham came on.
The tactics by the Dundee manager was shocking it was stop Celtic attacking what ever the cost. they booted us up in the air that referee needs put in his place utd should have been sent off there fowling was ridiculous. Calmac went for 50/ 50 got a yellow the guys was screaming like a baby but nothing wrong with him. Broony quite right to wind up there defence he could see what they where doing. We are getting stronger you can see this. Why all the moaning.
23 Aug 2020 16:43:51
Mally his game management is atrocious his coaching and professionalism is also atrocious.
23 Aug 2020 16:44:57
Ntcham came on the tempo increased
What game were you watching.
23 Aug 2020 16:57:27
Andy, my main gripe about yesterday was Lennon played Ntcham in Christie's position and moved Christie to the right wing.
He done the same last season when the team were on a good run and it failed. The problem is you are playing one of your most effective players out of position and replacing him with someone who does not carry the same goal threat and is not as creative.
On top of that he took off the wrong fullback and played Forrest out of position as well.
Don't get me wrong i like ntcham and think he is a cracking player but if you are going to play him, then it should be in the McGregor role or a midfield 3 or part of a diamond.
23 Aug 2020 17:14:32
I said management and players
Celtic leaning, absolutely
They are not at Celtic
1 was, a long time ago
Left and went on to a great career and now in management
They are concerned about squad stability and togetherness
I am passing it on
Whether we like it or not, players play for managers and for the club
At the moment, there is a leadership void and its because NL is lacking credibility ( not his fault)
PL runs this club and runs NL and it is dangerous to do this
We need a top class manager if we are to retain and develop good talent ( coaches do a bit of this, Damian duff big loss and gavin Strachan is old pals act )
PL will win us or lose us the league, not NL
I have nothing against NL.
23 Aug 2020 17:48:09
Lubo what a load of old pony.
23 Aug 2020 17:56:44
So lennys risking dropping points and ten in a row to make a point come on mate thatās a lot of old tosh .
23 Aug 2020 18:06:34
LubomirWho I would get rid of Lawwell under his leadership what have we won over the last nine years, time for change and get someone in who can win us something.
23 Aug 2020 11:53:51
Feel we've stuck on a roundabout when it comes to set pieces. Completely ineffectual at every corner. Christie's delivery yesterday was awful. With the exception of Jullien chipping in a few last season it feels like we've been like this for years.
23 Aug 2020 12:12:35
Griff has a good cross on him at a corner. Weāve not really got a good corner taker anymore. I thought it might be an idea to put Ntcham on them.
23 Aug 2020 12:19:01
Don't understand why Christie is allowed to take every corner. He's useless.
23 Aug 2020 12:50:40
There must be someone else who can deliver better free kicks and corners,
When 1 in every 5 that Christie takes gets past the first man,
Itās only Jullian that looks threatening.
23 Aug 2020 13:47:08
I think in football as a whole the standard of corner taking has got worse over the last few years.
Teams these days don't play with a typical old fashioned centre forward so it's easier for defenders if the ball comes in the air.
I don't have any statistics on this but i would think we don't concede as many goals from corners as we maybe did years ago.
23 Aug 2020 10:44:01
Not convinced about Frimpong and Taylor in the full back positions.
Having so much of the ball both did very little. Both need to be hitting the byeline more often or is that a thing of the past?
23 Aug 2020 11:12:26
No one getting in the box to cross it too all waiting on a cutback. When did you last see Christie McGregor Ntcham Forrest Elyanoussi or even Brown run into the box with the intent of scoring a header. Not often enough!
23 Aug 2020 11:34:17
Same with set pieces. Most of the team just stand idle in the 6 yard box and expect to be unopposed for the delivery. Jullien is the only one that attacks crosses which is no surprise he's the only one that chips in with headed goals.
23 Aug 2020 12:22:36
And neither Taylor or Frimpong can defend. Any half decent team in Europe will tear us apart. Utd were Championship last year and carved us open many times yesterday. Need a LB and hope ElHamed can stay fit. And a strong no nonsense CH is a must.
23 Aug 2020 13:05:28
Think taylor is getting better every game. and is just an target excuse now for fans to vent at.
23 Aug 2020 15:47:05
cant see how anyone can say taylor can't defend. that's his man strength.
23 Aug 2020 09:17:23
Baby Dallas was awful yesterday gave us hee haw.
23 Aug 2020 10:03:32
I disagree mally. I don't think he had
that bad a game at all.
23 Aug 2020 10:36:27
Some folk would be unhappy even if a ref scored for Celtic with a header.
23 Aug 2020 10:50:59
I thought Dallas was horrendous, broony did too and got booked for it, Edward was kicked off the pitch and had no referee protection. McGregor yellow card too was very harsh.
23 Aug 2020 11:25:24
@ Leeds Celt. I agree that McGregors card was harsh and because it was quite early in the game, it would have affected his play.
23 Aug 2020 11:27:22
Christie Taylor Frimpong Eddie were pants as was Lennons team and subs Ref had nothing to do with it
A know thereās a lot of Forrest critics out there I had been 1 of them but we notice when heās not there.
23 Aug 2020 11:29:18
Broony got booked for running to a Utd player when Ajeti scored. Dallas never put a foot wrong.
23 Aug 2020 11:48:48
I don't usually buy into the ref's a Mason chat but Dallas was appaling yesterday. He broke up more Celtic attacks than any Dundee Utd player and let their CBs kick lumps out of us the whole game.
23 Aug 2020 11:53:08
McGregor deserved a yellow. I thought it was harsh till I seen it again.
23 Aug 2020 12:02:59
I thought Brown got booked for yelling in a United's players face, not something that is altogether wise in these C.V. times.
23 Aug 2020 12:10:15
Aye because it's to do with C. V Aindoh š. By that logic all our players should get booked for embracing after the goal. Which would see them sent off having already been booked for a huddle.
23 Aug 2020 12:24:32
Mcgregor was a yellow all day long. Apart from the couple of free kicks from our corners I didn't think Dallas had a bad game.
23 Aug 2020 12:50:42
I only saw the last 15 minutes of the first half last night and in that spell the United player Connolly raked his studs down Edouardās heel, shortly after he lunged In on Frimpong and was only spoken to, canāt comment on McGregors tackle as I never saw it . Dallas like the rest of Scotlandās referees are useless.
23 Aug 2020 12:53:13
Well yelling in someone's face is different, wasn't there something at the start of the season, telling players that, that sort of behaviour is a bookable offence, if not it should have been.
23 Aug 2020 13:49:17
It already is a bookable offence bacause it's unsporting behaviour.
23 Aug 2020 13:50:10
Aindoh he never yelled in his face. May still come under unprofessional behaviour but wasn't in his face.
23 Aug 2020 08:54:05
Good 3 points at a hard venue but we need to be more ruthless and create a bit more. our balance wasn't right and we missed wee James on the right. and why is Christie on set pieces they are awful.
23 Aug 2020 10:55:36
We need more bodies in the box everyone waiting outside to shoot from distance. 5 centre midfielders in the starting lineup lots of possession but no penetration it was like watching a Rogers team rather than a Lennon one. We'd figured this out from January onwards but seem to have forgotten hopefully Ajeti will be the answer when he's fit.

Just wanted to point out the difference between the coverage of today's game on the bbc website for Scotland, and for the rest of the UK:
In Scotland: "Ajeti Rescues Celtic at Dundee Utd"
In the rest of the world: "Ajeti Strikes Late On to give Celtic Win at Dundee Utd"
Same story. Actually I think the headline in Scotland was more negative earlier on.
23 Aug 2020 09:29:08
cavalcanti mate. one day they will realize a game lasts 90 mins plus stoppages.
23 Aug 2020 11:41:49
I would take an 83rd minute winner every game seeing as Rangers are the 86 minute champions we can't leave it too much later.
23 Aug 2020 11:59:34
Ajeti puts the ball in the nety.
