Should be 0-2. That was a penalty.

Game over.

David Dickinson is the referee today with Alan Muir on VAR. I don't believe any match official is deliberately biased but you do get some who are very easily swayed by St.Brendan putting his hand up at every 50/50 challenge and Callum McGregor getting in their face trying to referee the game for him. I don't envy the match officials in games involving Celtic to be honest as they know that if they give decisions that don't suit Celtic then they will be scrutinised and harassed for weeks on end. So I don't think it's a case of requiring an impartial referee it's more a case of requiring a strong one.

As has already been said, one of two scenarios are more likely than not to happen today and they both begin with an S. 1) Sickened As we were on both occasions we played Celtic at home last season in that we hang in there and lose late on. or; 2) Skullfucked A defeat by four or more goals which if we concede inside the first ten minutes is a distinct possibility. Either way it won’t be pleasant viewing. I’m going for the second scenario and a 0-5 defeat.

It would have been their first domestic defeat in 18 months, or pretty close to that. McGregor’s swan dive after a nothing challenge from Andy Rose got them the penalty which Scott Sinclair (who had dived to get the penalty in the League Cup Final and got Kipre sent off) scored from. Rodgers got on his high horse about Burrows showing footage of the penalty award on his laptop and went into full condescending mode.

Rodgers, Celtic and their fans were absolutely insufferable during that trilogy in late 2017. Two soft penalties and they couldn’t bring themselves to admit they got lucky with them and the smugness and self satisfaction was off the scale. It won’t happen on Sunday but it would be fucking magic if we finally got a win against them and send their hoardes home angry and have that blobfished face false prick of a manager shaking his head in disappointment during his post match sermon.

Celtic are in a different league to every other clubs supports when it comes to vandalising the South Stand. Add to that the standing in the the aisles in their thousands which would clearly suggest doubling up at the turnstiles and the usual pyro/invading the park and it’s a horrible atmosphere.

One of those two scenarios is almost certainly what will happen on Sunday. No doubt accompanied with the usual damage to the South Stand by the self righteous “social justice warriors” in the away support. I can see it far enough already. 🙄

That was dreadful.

Watt & Moses on

Best not to give them the satisfaction by responding to nonsense like that.

And he’s injured yet again by the looks of it. Another one to add to the never ending list.

Dreadful stuff and deservedly behind. No excuses for the defending for that goal. Just so so sloppy. Halliday and Robinson are both a waste of a jersey. Its going to be tough to get back into this.

It was a scrappy game as you would expect but thankfully we edged it in the end. Moses needs to be a starter.

Had a few too many Angry Admin? What exactly are you taking issue with? All I was doing was stating a fact, that the management team have signed new contracts. It is also a fact that the club failed to make it public the last time they extended their deals. So what’s the problem?

Great result

Certainly does seem premature, possibly even knee-jerk on the back of two wins but whatever it is I can’t understand why this has happened right now. Kettlewell has a lot to prove and the bar has been raised even higher with this extension in my opinion.

No one can blame Spittal for going for the money. At 29 this was probably his last chance at a big move so it was a no brainier for him. But you just feel that playing wise we got the best out of him in his two years there, similar to KvV and at a club like Hearts (and the same would go for Aberdeen and Hibs) where the demands are far higher than they are here he may struggle to be a main player like he was with us.

Kettlewell and Frail have signed new contracts. Nice of the club to tell us this time.

Draw written all over this one. 1-1

No. But as far as I can see, and maybe I am wrong, the Union Bears aren’t political in the same way the Green Brigade are. I heard about the drum incident with St.Johnstone fans and Rangers as a club acted swiftly and banned the individuals identified as being involved, and good on them for doing so. Would Celtic have done the same had it been a GB member? I highly doubt it and there would be protests, walk-outs and a lot of noise made by the GB if they had. See some similarities there too? This topic has run its course now as far as I’m concerned so the final thing for me to say is that I hate the Green Brigade and I’m not a fan of the Well Bois. MJC - over and out.

The Green Brigade are way, way out in front of the Union Bears in every level, just like their club is way out in front of Rangers in that regard too. The GB are far bigger, far more dangerous and have a lot more clout than the UB could ever hope to have. They have powerful people with big voices and a lot of influence at various levels of sport and politics on their side and in their ranks. So even though the Union Bears might display similar behaviours, they don’t have the same leverage with police and authorities. Even Celtic as a club can’t control the Green Brigade.

I can only go on personal experience and as I said I’ve seen and heard first hand the people they associate with and the questionable views they express. Some of them are thoroughly nasty individuals and it’s not just me who has that experience of some ‘the Bois’ either. I get the pyro culture thing and indeed every club nowadays seems to have an element like that in their fanbase. Obviously though the Well Bois are the ones that I see up close and a lot more often and I don’t know if any of the other groups have the same Green Brigade style behaviours like the faux victim mentality, releasing big victim-y statements and the general entitlement like our clubs lot have. I’m sorry but from what I can see there is just too much similarity between the Block E brigade and the Green Brigade for my liking.

Perhaps not the entire group, but from what I have seen and heard for myself over the years there are certainly some members of that section that are on good terms with certain Green Brigade members. Certain ones I’ve had the misfortune to encounter seem to share similar ‘political’ outlooks as well and are extremely aggressive about it into the bargain. Then you take into account that the Well Bois willingly stood shoulder to shoulder with the GB at Fir Park and held a joint protest over heavy handed policing less than two years after that Friday night game where the Celtic support led by the GB caused thousands of pounds worth of damage to the South Stand. Yet they went along with that regardless. Then you’ve got all the behaviours and tactics which are similar to that of the Green Brigade… Being aggressive and confrontational to police and stewards then immediately playing the victim card when challenged. The pyro, the banners, the pitch invasions. Churning out big long winded statements calling for boycotts and trying to manipulate and lead the rest of the support into following them. Even dressing in a similar way with face coverings albeit without the dark green jackets, instead they wear all black. As I said, so much of their behaviour is very Green Brigade. Ya_bezzers post above puts it a lot better than I could with the key point being that groups like this seem to put themselves and their interests before that of the clubs. That’s exactly how I see the Well Bois I’m afraid.

“Fucking weirdo” ”Tells it as I see it” ”Uncomfortable truths” ”Tomato” “Toe-may-toe” ”Not buying the Well Bois bullshit” ”Fucking weirdo” There it is anyway
