August 2008 Archives
The prodigal son returned just in time to provide a much needed spark. Celtic huffed and puffed yet again and were fortunate to break down a hard working Falkirk side with nonsense refereeing yet again. Falkirk looked the side more likely up until Vennegoor had to be withdrawn.
Game number 2 of the new season and we’ve yet to get out of second gear. Another flat performance with no real drive from anyone in a Celtic jersey. Hartley again had a good game - popping up with his first SPL goal. Mark Wilson did well too, although he really tired towards the end.
...movement at last. As the week closes we have some actual excitement on the transfer front. It’s a bit of a six pointer when you sign someone that the bad lads have been chasing for weeks. Admittedly he’s another luke-warm addition and like Crosas and Paddy McCourt not the big name that I’d like - everyone is pinpointing his form during Cardiff’s cup run which I don’t think is a fantastic testimonial. Plus he does look like David Cameron’s wee brother.
Like every other Celtic supporter in the land, I was near wetting myself with anticipation on Sunday. After the best league win ever in the history of the world I couldn’t wait for more of the same. And given the extremely lacklustre performance of Rangers it was time for the Champions to put on a show.
I’m sure as with every Sellick supporter in the world, I’ve spent the whole summer online checking for new signings. It’s amazing how many times you can refresh BBC Football with eff all changing. Even when in a part of the world with an 8 hour time difference I’m sad enough to think something might happen at 4am GMT.

Lifelong Celtic supporter (mostly armchair) wife and 3 kids who take up every spare second otherwise I'd be camped out at the gates of Parkhead. Love my club but hate all the religious crap that goes with it. Also a fervent Scotland supporter. Like to think I can be totally objective.
