How was the 10 stopped??

[The Galway shawl]

On the way to 10 let's get behind the manager and team and put that debit ridden shambles to bed.....sorry ....Casotre! BAWHAWHAWHAW!

Hey I'm not saying the guy is shit but based on what i saw tonight he's far from sharp just yet. If i were a speedy LB or winger I'd fancy my chances at this moment in time.

Not saying he's baresi but gives you more confidence.

 

[According to Saul]

Getting to the confused state. Remember big Billy hanging up the boots in 74 after defeating Airdrie. He said years later that he retired too early. Davy Hay wanted a pay rise after listening to English league Scots and what their wages would be. King Kenny was also nobbled. Macari was a known gambler and needed the transfer. George Connolly, a quiet soul, missed his mate Hay and walk out of the club, later to be employed working on the buses.others like Jinky, Murdoch, Hughes and Wallace were sold or retired until Bobby Lennox became the sole survivor of the team Jock made. Because Celtic were running away with the titles, the SFA decided to change the league system from18 teams to something similar to what we have now . Celtic had reached 9 and the new system would be introduced the following season. Big Jock and Tony Queen, a well known Bookie were traveling home with their wives from a holiday when they were involved in a car accident. Jock came off the worst and later reports stated if it hadn't been for the type of car (Merc)he was in, he would be a fatality.Sean Fallon took on the Managers role but he couldn't prevent The Huns winning the league . The Big Man came back the next season and we won the league. Who knows,barring the accident, what could have been. HH

 

[According to Saul]

Yes, but for the 12 years before that (and then for the next 8 years until Murray sold them) they were throwing stupid money buying up the cream of English football and European players like Laudrup and the Dutch contingent using the bank's money. These huge debts were never paid off until the tax payers bailed out HBOS.

We are definitely getting things right and will win 10.

The Huns as we know thru history have always been cheating Bass as

Total clusterphuq of a season Saul, everything that could've gone wrong,went wrong!!!

The quality Fader in the 60s and 70s was completely different from what it is today.
Fotballers nowadays are like athletes,a comparison between the 70s and the present can be made by looking at a guy called Colin Bell a midfield player for Man City.
This guy was considered to be one of the fittest players around so they put a tag on his ankle which would tell the club how far he was running during each game,so they did this for 3 games and he averaged 3500 metres for each game lasting the full 90 minutes.
When Sky introduced all the stats on players and clubs they commented one time that Stillian Petrov was taken of after 79 minutes and had covered just over 11000 meters before he was taken off..
Training in the 60s lasted about 2...2.5 hours then the Bhoys went home,,bookies,,snooker etc, now training can be all day with a break for something to eat probably prepared by a nutritionist like everything they eat wiil have been advised for them..
Skill is a different ball game completely,you have heard the saying,,when will we see the likes again,,for me here in Scotland,NEVER,we had Jinky,Murdoch,Dalgleish,McGrain,Lennox, Caesar,,etc,I know this will be difficult for the Younger Bhoys and Ghirls to understand but the older guy,s like myself will realise we were not watching 11 players we were watching 11 entertainers,..
I remember Jim Baxter telling Wullie Johnstone that he was waiting to give Puskas his autograph,he was joking obviously,,But 100000 people in the Bernabeu refused to go home after Celtic had played Real Madrid in De Stefano,s testimonial until Jinky came back out for the crowd to applaud him for the display he put on that night,and best of all De Stefano would not have his photograph taken until Jinky turned up,,class sheer class..
How can we possibly call nowadays 11 men behind the ball entertainment..

Also the changes in the game these days like the predator boots and how light the ball is have had a huge impact. Not too many players back in the day could hit the ball so hard and accurately like Tommy Gemmells rockets , if he were playing with todays boots and ball it would either burst (which happens quite often) or it would land in another country. The way the ball moves through the air is a beautiful thing to see when it's done right, even the balls nakamura scored with v man utd (sublime) , those balls were different from what's being used now. Theyre becoming more and more like what we used to call a blow away ball as kids 50p R.S. McColls

Ooft or getting skelped in the face or stung on the thighs oan a Saturday morning with a mitre 5, that would definitely wake you up if it didn't knock you out ouch

Ireland seemed to have no idea how to penetrate with the opposition having 9-10 behind the ball. Difference between them and us is we have many who can score.

Aye Stevie theyre as bas as Scotland ,like seeing them winning but theyre shite

Aye and the player who did score is our very own bhoy (on loan with possible option to buy terms and conditions apply offers only available in this transfer window please ask Peter lawells permission before speaking to your lawyer) Shane Duffy HH

Tbf T theyve never been great they have always had a knack for getting a result though, like that time we (we Scotland) were heading through to the play offs drawing 2-2 v Lewandowskis poland and Ireland beat world champions Germany to take the play off spot instead in injury time bah another gutted moment for Scotland but if you beat Germany at any time world champions or not then you deserve it

A mitre 5, pishing rain and a gravel pitch - what a combination. Now I understand why weans these days prefer PlayStations

A mitre mouldmaster spanking yer clackerbag on a liniment burning December morning... made you think you were travelling through time and ended up in Beelzebub's torture chamber

Back in those days charging down a mitre 5 to block a shot separated the bhoys from the , ehm other bhoys. No small amount of bravery was required to not instinctively turn your back oan it. Even if you did turn your back youd have a perfect imprint oan you're back same colour as the ba" and stinging like hell for ages so you were just as well to face it head on (protecting your face and head at the same time)

Just did a quick check on Google - you can still buy mitre 5s . I was actually hoping to find the date they were banned by the UN

Exactly the kind of replies I was looking for. Thank you gents. I hope in 100 odd year when I'm roughly the same age as MD some young whipper snapper asks the same question about the 10 on the noise and i can give my answer and share my experience. Hopefully the thread won't be called "stopping the 10 part 2" obviously but you know what i mean.

Regarding stopping 10iar we started really bad losing first 2 games
Henry's first game against Hibs he passed the ball to chic Charney boom
Hibs win Charney said best pass ever received open up celtic defence,we then started to improve as team began playing together because having so many new players in at same time
In Oct we won the league Cup beating Dundee Utd 3.0 and I think we started to think maybe wee Brattback came in and was beginning to look comfortable
We started to put run together beating Huns 2.0 at CP and yes here we go
FEW games left went to Dunfermline
to win league drew 1.1pit pressure back on Had to beat St Johnstone at celtic Park really nervous time up popped
Henrik picked ball wide on the left next to jungle cut inside along 18yd line about 4yds along tat line bent shot into faraway corner everybody started to believe sec half Henrik played in Jackie Mc wide right he took off about 10yds from byeline played great ball along the ground as St Johnstone defenders turned wee Harod met the cross 12yds from goal slotted in corner 2 up no stopping us now was really great feeling stop the scum
Honestly think got as much Happiness
From that season as winning the big cup or nine in a row as nobody really thought it would happen thats the joy of being a Celtic supporter they always
Keep coming back when least expected
Think MD would agree HH been following Tic 65yrs hopefully another 67

The teams went downhill from then ,always had a few crackin players but not so much these days
