Search ArticlesThis Celtic Manager Is Heading For Something Special: He Will Make The Big Lie Irrelevant.
James Forrest | 14:52 14/05/24 There is an iconic moment from Only Fools And Horses which will never be anything but sublime. In it, Trigger, the dust-sweeper, shows off his medal from the council for saving them money. He tells a group of his friends that he has had the same broom for 20 years. Someone asks him if he’s ever actually swept anything up with it. Unprompted, he observes that he has maintained it.
Celtic Is The Biggest Club In This Country By Far. This “No Gap” Stuff Is Embarrassing.
James Forrest | 13:00 14/05/24 There is a trend at this point in the season which never seems to go out of fashion. See, I use the word ironically. A trend is defined by the way it comes into, and then goes out of fashion. Just not this one. It continues because nobody ever declares it old hat, and out of date, and too ridiculous to possibly go on.
The Celtic Board Did Nothing To Aid Rodgers And This Team. They Must Make Amends.
James Forrest | 09:30 14/05/24 Now that the dust has begun to settle from Saturday’s game, the thoughts of a lot of us are turning to the summer and the necessity of a rebuild. Another one. It is not a pleasing thought to have. It’s an infuriating one, to be honest, because it should not be necessary. This club should be riding high.
The Celtic Captain Was Targeted This Weekend. But His Perfect Response Stunned The Cynics.
James Forrest | 21:07 13/05/24 Operation: Stop Callum was launched last week, as ex-Ibrox players lined up to offer their advice to the hapless losers playing for the club right now. It amounted to little more than “just boot him up in the air whenever he gets the ball.”Easier said than done, as it turns out. There is a certain logic to this idea, this notion that if you stop McGregor then you stop Celtic.
Fear And Loathing At Ibrox: Celtic’s Title Sounds The Alarm Bells Again In Crazy Town.
Tomorrow night, the Ibrox club will play its last home game of the season. The atmosphere will be febrile. Not only is there nothing left to play for in the here and now, as far as the league goes, but for many in the ground there is nothing to look forward to either. Way back in the sands of time, when I was looking for a title for these pieces, I was combing through my books and stuff for something that leaped off the page at me. I love the work of Hunter S.
Miller’s Celtic Meltdown Was The Inevitable Result Of Fantasy Colliding With Reality.
I always enjoy the aftermath to a big Celtic win, but I knew that I was going to enjoy this one more than most, because it’s almost guaranteed the title for us and because just a few months ago our opponents on Saturday were being hailed like swaggering conquerors. I knew that some folks would unravel over it, and that’s because they were sure – absolutely certain – that this Ibrox team has us sussed and that they would be champions.
Celtic Does Not Need To “Cash In” On Anyone To “Fund The Summer Rebuild.”
James Forrest | 09:30 13/05/24 Big Bad John Hartson is one of my favourite pundits, and that’s why I never have a bad word to say about the guy. I am not about to change that today, although I will disagree with him slightly. On a podcast the other night he said that we should accept any big bid we get for our key players, so as to equip Brendan Rodgers with the funds for his rebuild. That’s not necessary though.
Celtic Must Weed Out Its Handful Of Idiots, But How Dare Ibrox Make Demands Of Us?
James Forrest | 21:22 12/05/24 Yesterday, a handful of utter yahoos disgraced themselves by throwing objects at James Tavernier. The idiocy of it cannot be over-stated and nobody should be attempting to play it down. These people are absolute goons and their removal from our support is something that every single one of us should seek to see happen, and when it does, we should applaud it.
The Celtic Derby Is Decadent And Depraved: A Match Report By Cetus Jacsonius.
I got out of my litter and looked up at the sundial. The shadow had crept across the polished stone and was cast across nona hora, Ninth Hour. The games were about to begin. My guide was waiting for me, a tall man with a military bearing. Beside him stood a slave holding a flabellum, moving it softly to create a current of cool air. “Are you ready my friend?” he asked me. “Have you had a drink?”He produced a canvas wrapped container and handed it to me.
General Rodgers Surveys The Landscape After Another Victory And The Critics Of The Celtic Boss Run For Cover.
When it comes to picking a “hero” from America’s leading generals in World War II there is one whose shadow is cast over all the others; George Patton.
Of All The Celtic Title Triumphs I’ve Seen, This Might Be The Most Satisfying, And It’s Down To You.
Well, friends, we’re going to do it. Today has put us on the brink, it’s made it all but inevitable, and a week from now we’re going to get the trophy. It’s not impossible for all of this to unravel, but it would take a collapse of monumental proportions and that is not going to happen. Celtic are going to be the champions, and you know what? We deserve it. And you know, I don’t mean the players and the manager, who do deserve it and they have certainly earned it. But we do. The fans. All of us.
Today Is Our Day Friends In Celtic, So Do As The Boss Says And Have Some Fun.
James Forrest | 09:30 11/05/24 There are people who will tell me not to be this confident. That ship has sailed. I’m confident for good reasons. We have the best team. We have the best manager. We’re playing at home. We have a stupendous home record against the teams from Ibrox, and especially this version. Our manager has led us through 16 of these games. He has lost one. They are coming to our house angry and afraid.
The Celtic Boss Was Calm And Measured Today. His Opposite Number Was A Mess.
Today, the press conferences. The calm before the storm. The two leaders, in front of the hacks, with one last chance to speak over their heads to the fans. A chance to raise spirits and morale, a chance to inspire calm. A chance to project strength one last time before tomorrow. The Celtic boss sat and gave a coherent, measured display, a man relaxed. A man in total control. The same could not be said across the city. I’ll open by saying this; wow.
Whatever Celtic Has To Fear Tomorrow, It Isn’t A Team Run On Blood And Snotters.
“Everybody has a plan,” Mike Tyson once said, “until they get punched in the mouth.” It is one of the most well-known quotes in sport, and although it is clunky and sounds rather unsophisticated, it really isn’t. It’s brilliantly observed, and extremely shrewd. Tyson was a master of psychological warfare. He could break another boxer in the stare-out before a punch had even been thrown. Think about those words in the context of that.
Celtic’s Attacking Options Are Less Than They Were, But Still Look Strong For Tomorrow.
James Forrest | 14:14 10/05/24 When you look at the Celtic side of last season and then the one we’re watching just now, it’s obvious that we’re not as powerful in the key area of the pitch where the games are won. Our attacking options are less than they were. There is no Jota. There is no Abada. We score less goals than we did last season. These are the facts. They are undisputed. We are on 85 goals right now.
The Celtic Boss Knows His Great Record Against Ibrox So Far Means Nothing At All This Weekend.
The greatest honour, the greatest achievement, that could be bestowed on a Roman leader, short of ascending to the consulship, was to be afforded the honour of a Triumph. It was such a privilege that generals who did not get one when they thought they deserved it would refuse to re-enter the city, and sit outside it with their legions, sometimes for many years.
Celtic Fans Will Never Be Short Of Laughs Whilst We Have The Madness Of Sevconia.
The best political story of the year so far broke yesterday, in the United States. American politics is absolutely fascinating right now. Looking at it from the outside is like peering through the windows at a freak show.
The Celtic Boss Being Snubbed By The Sportswriters Was Just What We Expected.
James Forrest | 16:41 09/05/24 There only thing less surprising than Brendan Rodgers not making the shortlist for the sportswriters manager of the year award was that the Belgian Waffler did.
Liam Kelly Would Be A Fine Celtic Backup Option; Experienced, Scottish … And Free.
James Forrest | 13:00 09/05/24 Yesterday, I heard a very strong rumour that Liam Kelly, of Motherwell, has already spoken to Brendan Rodgers with a view to joining Celtic. Last night, Stephen McGowan of The Daily Mail broke the story, which was already being discussed on several Celtic fan forums. His was definitely not the exclusive he claims. I suspect there’s something in this one. McGowan says he’s available on a free.
Two Ex-Ibrox Players Have Now Suggested The Use Of Force To Stop Celtic’s Captain.
James Forrest | 09:30 09/05/24 There are few so irresponsible as those who are truly desperate, and let’s be blunt about this; Ibrox’s fans, players, coaches and directors do not need any excuse to act in an irresponsible fashion, even in the best of circumstances. Facing a Celtic league decider at Parkhead, in front of nothing but a partisan home support, certainly doesn’t qualify for that.
The Latest Alleged Candidate For Celtic’s Under 18 Post Would Be Much More Like It.
James Forrest | 19:42 08/05/24 Reports tonight have suggested that there is a new name in the frame for Celtic’s vacant under 18 manager’s job; Adam Ashgar, the under 21 boss at Southampton. His CV is impressive. Highly so. He is the sort of high-ranking, high-calibre candidate that we should be going for. There is nothing “old pals act” about this, this is a quality individual.
Rodgers Radiates Calm And Confidence As Celtic’s Preparations Enter The Final Phase.
James Forrest | 17:46 08/05/24 As a fan looking forward to a big game, all you really want to know is that people at your club are focussed on the job at hand and working hard behind the scenes. There is no question that this describes Celtic, right now, to a T. Brendan Rodgers has sat in front of the club’s in-house media team, and they put up their work this morning. It is worth watching. I’m putting a link at the bottom.
Collum Gets The Celtic Game, And Ibrox Fans Don’t Realise They’re To Blame For It.
On Monday, we all wondered what the SFA would throw at us this week. We knew there would be a curveball, and we knew it would come out of left field. But what they did is so surprising that instead of detonating over Celtic Park like a megaton bomb, it’s detonated over Ibrox instead. Everything we feared about getting Beaton is multiplied, massively, on their side of the city by the decision to give the game to Willie Collum. It is their nightmare scenario.
There Is Accumulating Evidence Of A Full Ibrox Melt-Down As Celtic Park Looms For Them.
There is a misconception that there is a long-standing principle of the intelligence community that their agents must instinctively reject the idea that there are coincidences. In some ways, they do operate according to the idea that if you think you see a pattern you treat it like one, but there’s also a requirement that you try to find evidence that it isn’t. What those people do is they look at the big picture and they pull together fragments of information to see if it adds up to anything.
