Absolutely delighted with BR...but can't shake this niggling anxiety that he's never been a financial trader in the City of London.
:lol: his only flaw

Absolutely - but you can be sure he didn't call up and offer them, they were a response to some very carefully selected questions and the offer of a few quid

They probably brought him out for a few whiskeys. That would explain the utter bollocks he was spouting.

Brendan in the stand at Peterborough v Swindon. any ideas who he could be scouting?
His son plays for Swindon.
Looks like one of the more skilful players on the field. Defensive midfielder :)
Defensive midfielder?

Or centre back converted into a defensive midfielder?

Whether we like it or not Craig Gordon has always been a msm favourite. He got away with his rix at Hearts because of it and the same can be said of his time in Sunderland, Scotland and Celtic jerseys. That a shampooe ex Scotland goalkeeper is giving an opinion on a far better ex Scotland goalkeeper shouldn't surprise us. This is a cliquey sport in a cliquey country. Another thing that shouldn't surprise us but is more disappointing is the lack of genuine analysis of why Brendan doesn't fancy Gordon. It's not because Craig can't pass the ball like Paul McStay. It's more about being confident and in control of the ball. The keeper isn't expected to pick pass after pass but more to be able to shift the ball from foot to foot confidently and make easy passes in a quick and timely manner. Gordon doesn't do this. He fancies about like Lurch when trying to shift the ball out his feet and this takes far too long which means our defenders can be closed down. This results in a punt up the pitch which more often than not ends in us losing possession. This isn't hard to understand.

Despite continuing to buy a season ticket, in recent years I've only been over maybe four-five times a season. It's expensive to travel over from Dublin, and the pleasure I got out of attending games was not worth any additional expenditure above that.

By the end of November, I'll have got over ten times. I expect there's many Irish season ticket holders in similar situations. BRFA.

I certainly saw far more coach loads on board the ferry last week travelling to the Aberdeen game. More than I'd seen in about two or three years. Queue for the bar was a bit of a nightmare though :angry:

Ultimately the goalkeeping situation is a matter for the celtic manager. Rough can say what he likes.

He has reinvigorrated my love for Celtic so much :wub:

I don't think I've felt this way about a Celtic team since MON. Some achievement considering the collection of absolute shampooebags that they were under Ronny.

Impressed again with his interview yesterday & he seems happy that the board have supported him. I'm guessing from what he said that we were hopeful of getting Mcarthy,possibly on loan,until Everton's replacement for him signed for Spurs. If that is the case then it's been unfortunate,but we will have to look further afield than just the EPL in future Windows as it's difficult to entice many signings from that market. The funds must still be available though & lets hope that they are utilised to Make us a lot,lot stronger on the field after the next 2 windows.

From his quotes on the Celtic Twitter account after the game last Saturday he definitely wanted another player in, but he said that even if we didn't get one he was delighted with the transfer window, which suggests that maybe he was wanting someone like McCarthy but wasn't entirely confident we could get him. That's fair enough. I'm quite glad that we're shopping for the right player these days rather than any player.

My guess (with no info whatsoever) is that we wanted McCarthy and were confident that he wanted to come. Either his groin injury or Everton's reluctance to loan him to us (as opposed to selling him to an EPL club who could afford to pay crazy money) meant that the move became less likely in the last few days.

The rhetoric about "one more" definitely dialled down in the last couple of days of the window.

It's not entirely true - we wouldn't pay the full cost Everton were asking. Looked like he was heading to Palace after it became clear Everton wouldn't budge with us but I think after Sissoko fell through they pulled the plug on any moves.

We genuinely tried pretty hard and so did the player apparently but wasn't to be.

I still think we should have had a back up option and would still like us to try and get someone in but guess if the manager only wants his first targets then so be it.

Well BR did say he didn't want to sign guys for the sake of it. Maybe that's why we didn't have a back up option. And the fact we have a number of midfielders who aren't budging.

Good piece with BR.
Liquidation mentioned a few times (not by Brendan) which won't go down well.
BR also talk about the players that he knows that are ow at rangers. Looks like Warburton is taking BR's sloppy seconds.

Brendan Rodgers wary of danger in Celtic v Rangers clash
