We were a bit flat, but still increased our lead. Beaton was just his usual self "Rubbish"

Postby Joe O'Rourke » Mon Apr 24, 2023 12:10 pm

It was a disappointing display and result on Saturday, but better that it occurred on Saturday past than this Sunday coming. I suppose it was going to happen sometime, even in our brilliant “Invincible Season” we drew four league matches. We’ve actually came out of the weekend a point better off, which I predicted on Saturday night, so happy days. I don’t have an explanation for Saturday’s display, maybe it was just a bit of tiredness, but having said that, we still had plenty of opportunities to win the match, so I guess it was just one of those days.

I sincerely hope we have Reo, Liel, and Jota back on Sunday, we really miss their creativity in the team, they are three players who bring something different to the team with their own particular skills and ability. Sunday is a big game, it can obviously put us one game away from another “Treble” and I believe we really deserve to achieve that 5th Treble in 7 years. All I look for in these matches is for our players to play to their ability, and for the match officials to play their part honestly and impartially, if that happens I’m confident we will win.

I’m not buying into all the media hype about Motherwell’s display on Saturday, I didn’t think they were any different from all the other teams who have played us at Celtic Park this season. They worked hard for sure, but they were guilty of the dark arts as well, none more so than their goalkeeper Liam Kelly, his timewasting was there for all to see, with the obvious exception of match official John Beaton, who turned his back on Kelly every time he had the ball, I’m getting really pissed off with the timewasting by visiting teams, the supporters who pay good money to watch 90+ minutes of football are getting short changed.

So let’s hope we have a full squad available on Sunday, and let’s turn the dump that is Hampden into a sea of Green & White. There is no finer sight than seeing the Celtic sections in glorious sunshine bedecked in the Green & White of The Famous Glasgow Celtic.

The Celtic Supporters Association

The Celtic Supporters Association was the idea of Willie Fanning whose dream became a reality back in September 1944.

These were dark days on and off the pitch with the Second World War still raging and in comparison to those horrors rather more trivialy Celtic were not providing much joy to its supporters and defeat was a regular experience. Indeed the idea of a supporters association came to 27-year-old Willie while watching the Bhoys get thrashed 6-2 at Hamilton.

Willie decided to write to the Daily Record calling on fellow Celtic fans interested in establishing a supporters club to get in touch. A total of 14 people replied. Consequently a meeting was arranged at St Mark's and St Paul's Hall, Chester Street in Shettleston. The meeting proved to be a success - a provisional committee was installed and Willie was elected as President.

By the time of the second meeting at the A.O.H. Hall in Alexandria Parade in Townhead the word had spread. The hall was packed and car loads of supporters from across Glasgow and beyond eager to attend created a traffic jam along the parade.

A constitution was drawn up which allowed the new organosation to become an amalgamation of supporters clubs. Within 12 months membership had rocketed to 700 and the association had won the official endorsement of Celtic FC who handed over the responsibility of distributing match tickets to affiliated branches of the CSA.

The CSA remains a strong and influential body. Apart from following Celtic in massive numbers it has a social club in Glasgow and its annual Supporters Rally is a highlight in the Celtic calendar.

True to the traditions of Celtic FC the CSA also has a proud and continued ethos of raising funds for charity.
