Well, COVID Season apart, that has to be the craziest Season I can remember.
From the Summer transfer window and losing to Almaty in the CL qualifiers to the split it was just a crazy experience.
I really don't blame BR for walking after we found out the interference from Tisdale in the transfer market.
That was down to DD appointing him.
Then MON came in and steadies the ship only for the Board and DD to appoint a batshit Frenchman who had small success in American "soccer".
His arrogance was only matched by his naivety.
Who can forget the red and blue magnetic peg boards he tried to use to explain his gameplay to Callum during the game.
So 8 games and 6 losses as well as the league cup he was gone.
Thank fuck.
Once again MON and SM plus Fozzy, stepped up and set sail for Victory 56 Island over the Horizon were Hearts with a massive lead.
Fortunately the dead weight of Tisdale was ditched overboard also.
Slowly but surely the performances started to pick up, not without raising the blood pressure of the whole support and waiting till we conceded before scoring late late goals.
There was also the utterly ridiculous statement by Desmond Jr at the AGM attacking the support.
The GB were banned without trial in a kangaroo court style verdict.
Still one man kept his composure and dignity, kept it in the moment, and was grinding out results week by week.
He saved a dig for the custodians in his speech yesterday by reminding them a house divided will always fall, and thanking the support for the success we achieved yesterday.
He was being magnanimous and humble of course because we all know it was down to him.
He Surely sits next to Jock Stein as our greatest ever Manager.
Thank You Martin O'Neill. HH.

Just my take on the season, I probably missed stuff, feel free to add your memories. HH.
 
I’ll attempt to add more later.

For now though I hope many of you feel the way I do.

The reality is…it is us against the rest. It will always be so.

We stand alone, and as long as we stand together, we are an unstoppable force.

This has been an emotional ride comrades. I thank you all for your company along the way.

May God Bless you and your families, and good Celtic men and women wherever they may hail from…

Brilliant Imatim.
I will probably remember stuff I've forgotten too.
It's been a journey.
I can say though, this site has been fantastic and all the contributions from people like yourself and others has been truly amazing at times.
The jokes, the piss takes, the laughs, the fuckin Celticness is what makes this site special. Thanks all of you, choobs. HH

Ok now you’re at it as well 💚💚
 
First thoughts are...I think we won that league despite the board, the GB bans and the appointment of the most hated guy in our history since that little dyed blonde turncoat done the dirty on Big Billy...However after a shit load of pressure from us the fans they finally rectified those mistakes...just intime as well...

Still baffled though by the downturn in our form, and I'm talking about during games not just in general...

Although somewhat understandable i still thought a lot of the criticism of our players and in particular our captain was ott...I see no one mentioned that with one forward pass yesterday our captain won us the league and started a media frenzy that will run for months or until Scotland win the world cup..

That'll doo for the noo...more to come...
 
It couldn't have been easy for the players working with 3 different managers in one season .We have winners throughout our team though and i had a feeling that would be the difference in this title race .

Its far from the best Celtic side i have watched but they deserve credit for once again getting the job done and silencing those outside the club who were dying for us to fail.

Hearts got what they deserved yesterday .Absolutely nothing.

I said before this is arguably the best title for me in my years watching Celts.
I was very emotional on Saturday in the ground for lots of reasons but the fact is that club writes history like no other and as my best, passed, friend put it, it’s a cause.
So I feel I’ve served my time with the dark days pre the bunnet and now we get the beauty of that glorious Saturday
Frankly it was just wonderful.
And I’m not even writing about the girfuy feeling that was closely linked to my elation.
Apologies if I’m rambling a bit
Hail hail my Noisers
 
It's been a season that was difficult to take emotionally at times and even SP or Matt O'Riley couldn't have my heart jumping all over the place again in the manner Celtic did.

Would I go through it all again if we could run out as Champions?
Fuck aye!
Must admit I had ma doubts at times. Brendan left, MON steadied the ship, the French eejit came in (a real low point) and I thought we were done for. M ON back in charge and slowly, one game at a time, breathed life and direction into what was a fragmented and downward spiral. A real high point, for me, Aurajos' winner at Killie. I was bouncing around the living room like a demented kangaroo!!! We progressed, then Tannadice happend. Deflated once again. Seven games seven wins required,doubtful. By the time we cuffed the zombies at paradise it was on. Go through it again? Don't know if ma auld heart could take it. God bless MON. God bless the squad. What a feckin journey, but we showed them all who is boss. Hail Hail
 
The Board fcuked us over pure and simple and this was a number of seasons transfer dealings catching up with us in one big hit.

Brendans 3rd season syndrome of side to side was even too much for him when he realised he was driving the wrong car and was gladly relieved to be released of his duties.

The unrest kicked in big time and the self imploding unfolded in front of a gleeful SMSM.

Enter St Martin and a ray of hope in the midst of a club at war with itself.

Then the madness of Nancy (the board again) and it seemed we were doomed.

Martin saved our souls once again and will forever be loved and adored for this most stressful season of all time.

But through it all the fans came together and hauled our arses up from the floor when the rest of Scotland thought this was their chance to enjoy seeing Celtic fail.

This for me is why our club are so different and special from all the rest.
You can never keep us down ......Champions again never felt so good 🇮🇪💚🍀🇮🇪💪
 
All is well that ends well.
TBH it was the the least enjoyable winning season in my long history.
I don't remember to many games that I felt we were going to win comfortably that I could enjoy.
Most were counting the minutes no actually seconds
down till full time from behind the lounge.

Ps weeks ago I posted I would settle for the Scottish cup win and hearts win the league instead of the huns
MON is a legend and deserves a statue next to big Jock HH

I was thinking that myself.
The board should be down on their knees thanking him for saving them.
Can you imagine the shit they would have got if we had lost the league weeks ago, the Huns had beaten us in the semi of the SC and the last derby. Then we had to give Hearts a guard of honour as they had already won the league last Saturday.
All of that could have happened had MON told them to shove it (which he was perfectly entitled to do) when they appointed Nancy and had to go crawling back to him when it went teats up.

So we,(the support ), are all very very grateful to MON.
A Statue is the very least they should do. HH
