You may notice some changes over the next couple of days as I trial some new graphics/layouts etc.
I'll try to keep disruption down to a minimum.

The Parrot Sketch starring John Hartson
Disclaimer: It's a controversial post!
Lets start this post with a couple of points
1. John Hartson is a Celtic legend.
2. He has been diagnosed with cancer
3. He's not dead.
Sadly a lot of the Celtic Community seem to have missed the last point when talking about Big Bad John. Its starting to resemble Monty Pythons Parrot Sketch.
Can we please save the video clips, tributes and eulogies until after his death. Which hopefully will be many years in the future.
The most important point is this....
You'll Never Walk Alone John.

Apology Time
Oh dear. Where do I begin?
Well let me begin by saying sorry.
When I started this blog I aimed to post on a daily basis. Obviously I failed. Infact this would be classed as an epic fail as I haven't posted since September last year.
Well things are about to change! The Alternative Celtic Blog is back and better than ever.
Watch this space......

Skippy the "big boned" kangaroo
Has anyone else noticed that Scott McDonald has put on a bit of weight recently?
Im not suggesting he needs a gastric band fitted or anything but Skippy has put on an extra pound or two during the summer months.
Not exactly the brightest idea when your main striking weapon is your pace..........

Lead Balloon
Hmmmm well its fair to say that last nights game was a bit of a shambles.....
Yet again, Celtic were let down by its misfiring midfield and impotent strikeforce. Barry Robson who has rightly been praised for his committed hard-working performances this season was shockingly poor, highlighted of course by that dreadful penalty miss. It was clear for all to see at Parkhead that Robsons head had gone down after that miss and his body language was of someone who desperately wanted to hide down the nearest dark hole.
Now I do realise that I have a tendency to criticise certain players but so far I believe i've been at least 90% right in my judgements. However, praise must be given to the only two players on the pitch who actually showed some heart: Gary Caldwell and Georgios Samaras. What a shame Nakamura couldn't do the same.
Please don't be blurred by his outstanding free kick that was only stopped by a stunning save from the Danish goalkeeper. He was poor.......infact worse than poor but im going to try to not swear in this post. The problem with Naka is that he simply doesnt do enough for the team. Those moments of genius are now becoming few and far between and he causes a serious lack of pace and movement in the Celtic midfield.
Last night was yet another incredible performance by the Celtic faithful.......its just bloody typical that the teams performance went down like the proverbial lead balloon.

'The Celtic Way'
So it's time to announce my Celtic team for tonights crunch Champions League match against Aalborg.
Boruc
Caddis, Caldwell, Loovens, Naylor
McGeady, Robson, Maloney, Brown
McDonald, Samaras
Clearly the two big talking points of this selection are the choice of Caddis and Loovens in Defence and the dropping of Stephen McManus. My views on McManus have been well documented so theres no need to repeat myself again. My choice of Paul Caddis is based on the fact that he can help move the team forward and looked a seriously good defender when faced with the challenge of the Barcelona superstars last year.
Whatever happens it's important to get behind the team and help create another piece of European history tonight. No vile hate-filled songs for us, instead we sing the songs of hope and pride in our history and who we are.
That my friends, is the Celtic way.

Paranoia?
I'm sure you will all have read and heard about this:
http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/scotland/glasgow_and_west/7617518.stm
The real tragedy in this sorry tale is that it takes the Government of Ireland to make a complaint before anything is done about it. While I'm no fan of Jack McConnell, his attempts at highlighting the sectarian problem was a step in the right direction. What a shame Alex Salmond is too busy trying to score cheap political points than do something about the mess on his front door.
Ask yourself this, why did Setanta/Radio Scotland not pick up on this during/after the game? It could clearly be heard loud and clear by all in attendance and watching at home. Why no response from the SFA? (cause the Chief Executive was once at Rangers?) Why no pre-emptive action from Rangers instead of waiting for the inevitable negative PR?
Also......

Strange how the Ranger's Assembly Boss stands down just after the Famine controversy. An attempt to distract the negative press instead of facing up to the serious problem of Ranger's support?
Hmmmm I'm sure I'll be accused of paranoia.............
