  1. My best game ever and goosebumps at the song. Union bears get this sung!!
  2. Alfie will be top SPL scorer. He has missed some good chances but goals from elsewhere are poor.
  3. Can those who know how, post all their video clips of 4LHAD here. So we can listen to them all before the game tomorrow. It’s gonna be loud!!!!!
  4. The optics of how we are viewed matter. It matters in attracting players and managers and new support from outside our traditional fan base. The Billy boys and famine song give other people the opportunity to demonise our support. celtic fans behaviour and their clubs behaviour is of no interest to me. There are a few songs that are now categorised as socially unacceptable and we should not be undermining our club by singing them. Also there is a risk that individuals are fingered and banned in the aftermath. At times we make it too easy for others to attack us. The Billy boys was sung once or twice but many other songs on Sunday were more impactful. But the focus goes to TBB. I agree with psb and will get pelters for being an apologist or for being weak. Yet I’m trying to support our club. Also we have learned to support our players of colour for taking the knee. which is good. We should support our club in their everyone anyone endeavour.
  5. Does anyone use a vpn. How does that work. does anyone use norvpn
  6. I have Rangers TV subscription. is ross county game on or do I have to get on ross county tv
  7. I get that. But enough were fighting such that the bad behaviour gets the headline.
  8. I agree. In this social media world we need to be more savvy. It’s the optics. How it will look. the Clydeside flares were simply spectacular. we just shoot ourselves in foot. We need to be less naive. Gerrard is presenting us as a multicultural modern club. The George square drunken fights with supporters of own club, were shameful. The only defence we have is what about ..... I think we need to be smarter.
  9. Alfie had a better game against StJohnstone than Mpabbe had against Man City. And St Johnstone pressed us well. In fact St Johnstone would probably have beat Man City and PSG combined on the day.
  10. Lovely scarf mate. What length is it
  11. Six! Well spotted. But 1 through and 2 nd and 3rd have chance. So if 3rd guaranteed 12 games. Doable
  12. I like it. I think 5 team group x 8. top 8 through. To knockout 2 nd and 3rd through to play offs. Winners go through to last 16 is that right

  14. Phil Fodden corrected. Our players are assets. We punish them internally. Gazza beat his wife and Derek Johnstone went awol years ago. The manager should be allowed to manage these issues. The SFA may also punish them. I work with Covid patients. I get the seriousness of the breach.
  15. Phil Fodden!. Breaks rules for England and stalwart of Man City’s title aspirations. The boys were wrong. They have been punished. We move on.
  16. Bill struth one is clearly the best. I also liked Ally “ If they make us play on the streets, we will support them from the pavements”. Made me greet!! anyone got a video clip of it

  18. Our captain on a famous day. O Captain! my Captain! our fearful trip is done, The ship has weather’d every rack, the prize we sought is won, The port is near, the bells I hear, the people all exulting, While follow eyes the steady keel, the vessel grim and daring; But O heart! heart! heart! O the bleeding drops of red, Where on the deck my Captain lies, Fallen cold and dead. O Captain! my Captain! rise up and hear the bells; Rise up—for you the flag is flung—for you the bugle trills, For you bouquets and ribbon’d wreaths—for you the shores a-crowding, For you they call, the swaying mass, their eager faces turning; Here Captain! dear father! This arm beneath your head! It is some dream that on the deck, You’ve fallen cold and dead. My Captain does not answer, his lips are pale and still, My father does not feel my arm, he has no pulse nor will, The ship is anchor’d safe and sound, its voyage closed and done, From fearful trip the victor ship comes in with object won; Exult O shores, and ring O bells! But I with mournful tread, Walk the deck my Captain lies, Fallen cold and dead. Captain Fernando Ricksen “First is everything, second is nothing”
