[Official TC Thread] Stranraer v Celtic, 10/01/16, Sky Sports 1 3:15pm. TWO UP TOP!!

As far as the media goes, I really wish that every Celtic fan in Scotland realised the best way to deal with them is to stop buying into their services and products.

Don't buy the papers, don't watch the TV shows, don't listen to the radio phone-ins etc either.

That'll never happen though, because the truth is that the media play us like fiddles, and we love it. As soon as something negative occurs with the Huns there's a certain number of our fans who rush out to buy the papers and listen to the phone-ins, and the same happens with them when it's us.

The media play both sides of the divide like chumps.

 

This x 1000. I've believed it since the 90's and the infamous RIP Celtic back-page, and I was about 10 when I worked that out.

 

By the way, I couldn't see the game - was it 4-4-2 being played and how did Cole play?

 

Yes mate, set up 4-4-2. Cole held the ball up well and had couple of half chances, a good showing imo. Commons was posted missing most of the game at right mid, McGregor and Tierney worked well on the left. Johansen had his best game in a while having more space in the middle. Changed to the 4-2-3-1 when Cole went off and Allan did OK in the hole, superb pass for the third.

 

When is the draw being made ?

 

Quarter past 6 tonight.

 

just gone on nowtoday, don't know if its been mentioned elsewhere, just wanted to say, what idiots to throw smoke bombs/flares onto the pitch.
1) if caught , they should get a life time ban
2) how do they get through security, could easily have been a real bomb
3) puts Celtic Football Club in a very bad light.

 

A real bomb cop the * on yeah mad thing

 

You're * at it. One post on here about the game yesterday and its to have a go at Celtic fans.

You aren't even a supporter so why do you come on here boring the * off us with your epl * and laying into Celtic supporters?

 

Statement from the club

 

We have a great reputation in spite of the board,not because of them.They have a cheek to claim fans who travelled down there don't care about the club,especially when we're a * shadow of what we once were on the pitch,because of their constant downsizing and lack of ambition.They say the same things about certain songs that have been a part of the support for years,songs which we sang when we won UEFA fan awards.I don't buy into the idea that the club's reputation has been damaged by songs or flares at all tbh.

 

ok and when the p[alyers play * and the manager can't managed does that alo not also reflect badly on the club's reputation!!!

 

True

 

True.

 

No it doesn't.

Sean, you really never fail to disappoint. Do you really think that these people who throw things on to the pitch are the kind of people Celtic want as fans. You accuse me of having a go at Celtic fans. Let me tell you, these idiots are NOT fans, they are morons/hooligans of the first degree and should be banned for life from ever going to any football match, let alone Celtic, as any normal, law abiding Celtic fan will agree. I don't see how anyone on this bb can have any respect for someone who does not see this.
PS there is no need to resort to swearing, if you don't mind.....

And for those who ridicule my post on this matter, then can i remind them of Paris just a few weeks ago, when someone tried to get into the National football stadium and bomb the place full of people. The security should have been tougher on Sunday.

 

ST.Paulie, 1916 , you should have enough intelect to work it out for yourself....
