Celtic Banter Archive January 10 2012

You know fun is fun and banter is banter I'm mibbes beginning to feel just a teensy wee bit sorry for the shame. They have got very little prospect of surviving the tax case and their beloved club will soon be stripped and sold off. So mibbes we should huv a wee prayer and hope all the players find good clubs to go to and all 8 million of us Celtic fans should go to ibrox and dance around it whilst it burns slowly to the ground. YOU WON'T BE MISSED. RFC RIP

It would be even more amazing celtic crumbling because gers arent there best derby in the world celtic v hearts mmmm aye ur gonna have players jumpin to yous , i would watch what u wish for ,

Ach its cool. Once the boil off our bum (Rangers) has finally dissapeared the EPL will be jumping through hoops to get us down their. Rangers will be the new Third Lanark and you lot can start following Chelsea and then everybody is happy. Its not just us that will not miss you. The whole world will get over it quickly, especially Manchester City Council. Hail Hail to the tax payers.

in recent years we never went the extra mile for janko and giroud and ended up getting s**te like rasmussun and murphy is this going to be the same scenario with rhodes and diawara and ending up with sanogo or sahili cos theyre cheap,the dear ones are 21 and 22 so potentially 10 years of sevice and if they progress as expected would double the fee paid

Fair point to a degree, my only worry or concern is the mainstays of our team are already relatively young.

Who are considered the experienced heads? Broony and Samaras? Mindblower lol.

Shaunybhoy {Ed007's Note - I'm glad you said experienced and not mature about Brown ;-) He's a bit of a character!}

Honest Ed, I sat here for 10 mins considering it after I posted, we've got some super young players and it kinda emphises the point you, Miko, our Tim and many others have given regarding Browns abilities. May not be the best player technically but I'll admit without him we'd struggle for leadership/experience. (Soz you can't put mature & you know who in the same sentence mate and keep a straight face lol)

Don't wanna go down the old EPL has-been old nag route but a bit of a wise-old head wouldn't go amiss for me, centre back preferably but NL knows best. HH.

Shaunybhoy {Ed007's Note - I know what you mean Shauny but look at the number of CBs we have just now, even Majstorovic was playing well before his injury and Rogne is looking the part as well. I know NL said he was looking for one but I can't see where he would get into the team unless he is a 'top drawer'.}

Just thinking out loud, no examples in mind, although that Algerian (was it?) that was mentioned wouldn't kick up much fuss if he had to wait his turn, mid to late 20's, played in the world cup, ticks a few boxes for me. See if Fulham want Loovens, 2 birds 1 stone (or 15st if they want Commons lol).

What a predicament we're in lol. I'm worrying about adding some experience, whilst over the garden fence our neighbours and their woes.........ah well.

Shaunybhoy

Signing younger fitter hungrier players and seeing our youth programme blossoming excites me, Forrest, mcgeoch , likes of wAtt, keatings, twardzik, toshney etc all breaking thro, I'd take this rather than whole budget spent on over the hill cash grabbers lookn for big pay day,

Craig Whyte contacted Ken Dodd for some advice on pressing Tax issues.
Whyte said he had made "Promises" that were not kept. "Let me cry on your Shoulders" as "Tears wont wash away the Heartache" because I am "Brokenhearted" as a tax deal is "Just out of Reach"
After listening to all this Ken Dodd replied
"Happiness, Happiness" because I am a TIM!

and all the best in his recovery

Alan {Ed007's Note - Thanks Alan.}

Just a q to the tic fans and the ed ..... im sure ill get my fair share of stupid comments out there wil b a few that wil answer it annol.

With gers finances and their current squad and celtics position would you expect lennon to walk/be sacked if he doestn win the title this year?

Cheers
Germinator {Ed007's Note - I think he would walk Germ mate.}

Dunno y i posted that as a reply ed ?!
i dunno if he would walk cos i get the impression he is confident in his own abilities and will think he can do it and you can only assume that its one of his all time dreams ..... i aint too sure he would get the majority of fans backing this time however?

also is there any players out there that you know that have the same sorta contract as lennon ie a year or 2yr rolling contract sorta thing ?

cheers
Germinator {Ed007's Note - No mate, not many players sign rolling contracts but it is more and more popular with managers now.}

I could see it being beneficial for clubs more than players would be good to see a players contract not just get to the last year and have his agent start flogging him to every club at far lower prices than they would if they had 2 years running .... it could also stop clubs demanding insane amounts just cos they have 4yrs on their contract ....... to be honest id just prefer it if UEFA outlawed agents !! i know of (dont know them personally) 2 agents and both are as trustworthy as a bond villain.... if a player cant decide if his wage offer is good enough then he doesnt deserve to the earn them ! can only imagine what the rest of the working world would be like if we all had agents !! it would be a total shambles.

Germinator {Ed007's Note - You wouldn't believe the power that agents have Germ, and the hold they have over some players. FIFA/UEFA really need to get it under control.}

Germinator, let's ask you about Sally.
He has managed to get your club put out of 3 cup competions, been in charge when Celtic overturn 15 point lead to go 2 points top. He keeps pleading for cash and never gets it. Where is his pride, surely he should be looking at his own position? Timalloy
Germinator this how to respond to a question, please tell you other bears insults and swerry words are NOT banter

For me Germ the title's a must this season or i'm not coming out the house for at least a month ! I would think he would walk away... Mrs E

To be completely fair NL knows what is expected from him at Celtic so as Ed says he would walk before we even had a chance to decide. It's a he'll of a job ESP for a young guy too god only knows the pressure him and Sally are under. Fair question tho bud.
CB

Great minds Mrs E !!
CB ;)

Timalloy you go on about this 15 point lead, it was only a 9 point we have thrown away because you had 2 games in hand. Theres nothing McCoist can do to stop Celtic winning those games is there?

WilliamKO {Ed007's Note - As I said last night, when it was sitting at 15 points were Rangers fans saying it was only 9? It's points in the bag that count. If we still hadn't played the games in hand would you be on here saying CFC were 2 points in front instead four points behind? No you wouldn't, it is there in black and white, the gap was 15 points in the league table no matter how you try to dress it up.}

Tim i dont speak for other fans as u dont speak for other tic fans. i think Ally should be kept on regardless of what happens he needs to learn his trade as a manager before he can be judged as one (same as applied to lennon) i think if u handed out the scenario to a neutrals opinion and say if one team cannot afford to bring in essential players and cannot afford to strengthen his team in the backgrounds as well as get players that can change games from the bench with a amnager thats making his debut season against a team thats gelled a little bit more from previous campaign, has the money to strengthen any position, have twice the wage budget and a manager thats had a year and half in the role and a theoritcal transfer budget that is 10 times or more of their rivals (on the basis that gers couldnt buy untill the sold and that celtic if they wanted to could spend 10m on players) they could prob spend more in all honesty but wont. Now if u gave all this info to a neutral and told him the afore team would be only 2 points off the latter half way thro he would be suprised ........

to answer your other questions ... the start ally made to the SPL was as good as any, no one expected his gers team to take a 15 pt lead NO-ONE if he is able to to go on the run that we did at the start of the year it would crazy to think that it aint possible again ..... no?

I think ally is doing as good as job as can be expected with the tools he has. Id like him to be there next year regardless of the league this year.. put it this way i wouldnt get rid of a rookie player if in his first year at being a player he didnt make the right decision every time ...... people need to find out mistakes and make them afore they can avoid them at times.


sorry for the long winded response, what can i say processing a pension claim aint the most stimulating thing in the world !

Germinator {Ed007's Note - Just make sure it's not Tim's pension!!!}

Fair play to you Germ, seems a fair response in support of your rookie gaffer, quite similar to the ones we were posting last year defending our rookie manager.
Lenny has undoubtedly improved as a manager this season imo, I presume that's what you're hoping Ally will do given time and possibly some money.

Once obvious difference, our board, and your board/dictator. We didn't need a patsy, I fear you might. And that would be a shame (no pun intended).

Shaunybhoy

Germinator, good response and points well made, but Sally is no "rookie" he had 4/5 years learning from Walter, Lennon had no such mentor, so Sally should have been better equipped than Lennon to handle management. Timalloy
Ps er Germ about my pension, can we come to some "mutual" arrangement ha ha

Hi Ed, Any idea if we can recall O'Dea from Leeds?

I thought he looked quite composed last night.

Any idea why he doesn't figure in Lennon's long term plans?

I would definitely have him ahead of Loovens and big dan.

Bad Bhoy. {Ed007's Note - I like O'Dea but he has no future at CFC apparently.}

Hi Ed, any idea why he has no future at CFC?, he always came across as a decent guy, one to keep the head down and graft away, has he put someones noise out of joint or stepped on someones toes?, either was it's a shame. {Ed007's Note - I have no idea sorry. If he has upset anyone or misbehaved it has been kept very quiet. Like I said, I do rate him.}

Good afternoon Ed, hope today is treating you well sir.

Just been on DR site, (I know) I just wanted to read about the Rapid striker we've been linked with. Seems interesting, half a mil for a proven goal getter, irrelevant if anyone is leaving doesn't seem too much of a gamble.

Also noticed Traynors pish tale bout Sally signing a Spanish chap for £2m !! You're havin a giraffe Tubby-Traynor, unless the poster below coughed up them magic beans that is the biggest pile o pish I've heard since Jellylegs last opened his mush in the DR.

£2m? Rangers? honest, you SHOULDN'T make it up. It's cruel.

Shaunybhoy {Ed007's Note - I don't know where Traynor gets this stuff from!!}

Traynors gets it from soggy chip pokes. ,

He plucks it out his erse like the rest of the Ger-nalists.

Hey Shaunybhoy how are you? We have all heard of the "pub with no beer" now we all know about the "billionaire with no money" ha ha Timalloy
PS I think the BBC should give Mr Whyte his own comedy show, after all he has kept all us Celtic fans LAUGHING for months! {Ed007's Note - They aren't talking. Isn't Whyte suing them? (snigger). I wonder how STV feel now after jumping into bed with a company that can't meet it's financial obligations to Companies House etc?}

I'm good ta Tim, we could all help write a "Still Game" style sitcom with Craig and Ally as old men reliving the days when Rangers were a big draw and how the nasty tax man pi5hed away the club and they took the rap for it all.

Nuff respect to Jungle Jim, Ger-nalists, not seen that before mate, genious.

Shaunybhoy

Cheers Shaun - you can use that wan anytime. Patter must be contagious on here thanks to the usual squaaad of witty wreck-on-tours. Anyway it's a well known fact Celtic fans always have the best sense of humour. The other lot 'get' a joke in ten minute installments.

Was talking to a Rangers' fan today , when I tried to explain the implications losing the tax case could have on his club , he told me to p•ss off and wouldn't believe a word , when I proceeded to tell him about the 5 magic beans I had in my pocket he replied let's see them then !

So True! They're just not 'avin it!

Miko

We are actually having but what are we meant to do about it??

if it happens it happens

I don't know about anyone else,but i'm sick of reading about players coming on trial. Lennon stated today that the Albanian boy from Rapid would interest him only if he accepted a trial. Now, over the past fe seasons anyone we have had on trial we NEVER SIGN! Look at that Pascal Feindouno, he looked like a cracking player at the Sion game and if it had not been for those mugs fielding ineligible players then he would have came back to haunt us. He's available on a free again after cancelling his contract with Sion-perhaps we should make a cheeky bid? The facts are we've not won the league for 3 seasons on the account of Rangers been skint, but we are in a great position are should be ensuring we push home that advantage. I totally appreciate that the wage bill is a drain on resources, but in my opinion, we are a centre half and striker away from solidifying the team.

Guy from rapid doesn't need a trial, he is proven goal machine, pity we didn't offer bangura a trial, wouldv saved us 2 million or d murphy didn't get a trial

Yeah hes the only one that i would not have bk someone may pay money for him i hope .kenneth

I had a pot-shot at these 'trials' yesterday and had a few disagree with me
although I do admit we have signed some duffers that should have 'stood trial'.
Anyway I believe that if the management team and scouting network are efficient and can spot a player that can do a job, then we should not need so many trialists.
