Been on The Huddleboard for over six years. Best Celtic fans forum imo. Anything goes and great political discussions as well.

As I said, ****ing idiots. How many times have they been in the papers for stuff like this??

PauloMN

That's awful. Bunch of arseholes. You can't control what idiots post online, the problem is the club getting dragged into it. I know it's not an official site, but the fact that the club even get linked to these tools is bad news.

Is that the site on which Nacho Novo's address was posted on?

I fail to get worked up by some Sun hack with an account of the Huddleboard picking bits and pieces from the website. This, from a newspaper who have positively celebrated the deaths of others. Those guys on the HB will have to live with what they post just as guys down the pub will have to live with they say around a few pints.

I agree, there are some right w*ankers on there but they are definietely in a minority. Mind you, it smacks of hypocrosy for The Sun to be having a go over this. I'd much rather have a pint with a random huddler than a random Sun reader.

To be fair, the whole article does state that the original posters where shot down in flames by the majority of replies.

........im off for a lie down after that.............

Sponsorship boost for Celtic

Celtic have been boosted by a £25million windfall after their kit deal with Nike was extended for another five years.

The contract between the Parkhead club and Nike was due to expire at the end of June 2010 but will run on until 2015.

A statement released to the stock exchange this morning said: 'In return for the continued grant by Celtic to Nike of exclusive worldwide rights as official supplier of kit and certain ancillary products to Celtic Football Club, Nike will pay Celtic an annual fee plus royalties on Nike's sales of Celtic branded products, with additional bonus payments depending on football success.

'Based on performance during the current contract, fee and royalty income under the new arrangements are likely to be similar to the annual £5million royalty guarantee under the current contract.

I think that's great news given the current economic situation.

As regards Sunday, I'm wondering what the team will be. Will Crosas be dropped for Hartley (Eirebhoy spitting fire at that thought ), will he go 4-5-1, will Robson play... hard to know really, but I suspect it'll be a blood 'n' guts lineup with either Hartley or Robson making an appearance at some point (or both).

All I want is a stiker to score, preferably a few times. I'll take any win thanks very much. Can see it being 1-1 at full time actually. Hoops to clinch it in extra time.

Well as for Sunday I will go 2-1 for Rangers though it could take extra time Novo and Lafferty to score for the Gers :D

I'll let him pick any team he wants after that shambles on Saturday. Haven't felt that depressed about a match since Aalborg and there's been quite a few terrible performances and results since. Just because I hadn't got Hartley to blame. That will shut me up for a while. Literally haven't been on a Celtic forum since Saturday. I really take this too hard.

come on Celtic, intae this shower tomoro

Eirebear

No Bougherra for us today....HUGE loss.

PauloMN

2-0. Delighted with that win. Delighted for O'Dea as well. Thought Celtic deserved it overall, although Boruc had a couple of decent saves to make.

I thought Naka was exceptional today along with Scott Brown. They played really well. Caldwell was a surprise in midfield, and I which Strachan would quit with that experiment as I thought he was dodgy in there. Was like watching the old Caldwell again, was parping it everytime he had the ball. Hinkel was ok, but struggled a bit and seemed to slip half the time.

Samaras just doesn't work with McDonald. Would have preferred JVoH on instead. Samaras and McDonald seemed to just refuse to pass the ball to each other when one of them had it and the other was in a good spot.

Anyway, we can focus on the league now. Here's hoping today will be a confidence boost for the team. Still no goals from Samaras though.

Badabing

I thought it was a very good game and could have went either way, Brown and Naka were just brillant all game and Loovens was solid at the back. Caldwell done ok but you always get a sense he is one pass away from totally messing up as he thinks he is Zidane when playing in midfield.

poindexter

brilliant Celtic, i love it. thought it was gonna be one of them where we seemed to have most of the play and they would nick it at the end, but we stuck at it and got the deserved win. now to push on and win the league AGAIN

eirebhoy

Scott Brown was immense.

Eirebear

good start for Rangers against a tought hearts side today with lafferty scoring after 9mins.

Heres hoping we can capitalise....

A win tomorrow and I'd be much more confident that we can retain the league. Will be very tough though, I'll go for a 1-1 draw.

Why oh why oh why does Strachan persist in zonal marking? We have shipped goals all season because of it

Eirebear

looks like we get out of jail....AGAIN.

I still think when it comes down to it Celtic will win the league simply down to having that little bit more bottle.

We wouldnt have came back after going 2-1 down today

PauloMN

As predicted, a draw. Again, we fail to capitalise on Rangers dropping points. Again, neither JVoH nor Samaras can find the net. Sheridan out on loan is looking like a terrible decision right now.

Feckin' stick Samaras and JVoH in the reserves for a spell, two of them are the waste of 2 jerseys at the moment. This league should have been all but sewn up by now.

Is Crosas injured, if not why the feck is he not playing?

Eirebear wrote: »

I disagree. I think we had bottle the last couple of seasons, and the amount of late goals goes to show that. We fought for every point. This season I think we are really quite poor. We just seem to always take the foot off the pedal when we're 1 up, and get punished so many times for it. I still honestly think this is Rangers's year for the SPL.

Edit: Oh, I almost forgot the obligatory :eek: for Naylor's goal.

PauloMN

Strachan:

"That was our best performance this season against Dundee United in the league. We made more chances today.

He's like a broken record.

Or it will galvanise the other players into good performances.

How many times do teams that get reduced to 10 men perform just as good or even better

Thats just a plain silly thing to say. The best footballer Scotland have produced in years. He is only 31 for crying out loud, not 37! Fair enough, your no fan of Rangers, but saying he is muck is petty. What an idiot though, going on a booze up till Sunday lunchtime. Fair play to Walter Smith, I dont he had any choice here. This is nothing to do with downsizing and getting money in next transfer window for him, what club would want a boozed up bevie merchant playing for them?? Alcohol will ruin this guys career, wont be the first footballer either to suffer same fate and certainly wont be the last.
