{Ed007's Note - East Kilbride's just like Hamilton except they try to talk snobby and it comes out like the weird accent Scots seem to use in English TV shows so the English can understand them.}

Jim Tim his best season was 15 goals . one season 10 the rest 7 and under . we looked at linked to 3 Icelandic strikers at the time and he was the poorest of the 3.

12 Jan 2016 07:59:06
Still think he'd improve us! We'll end up wih the two lads from Walsall anyway.

There's been a terrible mix up at the Scottish cup draw.
Rangers got their usual home tie and Celtic got their usual away tie, but somehow they managed to get the opposition the wrong way round.
An enquiry has been launched, and the SFA has promised that such a mistake will never happen again.
Seriously though, we can't really complain about that draw.

11 Jan 2016 19:31:16
yip gerry bhoy we get a bye against non league and the zombies get a bye against the zombies II :-)

11 Jan 2016 22:46:35
It kind of evened itself up:- we got East Kilbride and they got East Ayrshire Rangers supporters club.

12 Jan 2016 22:43:41
Rangers got one of the few " Rangers friendly " teams that still exist and of course at home .
Celtic drawn away again, and of course it is team ranked lower than Celtic .
Every team are ranked lower than Celtic.

11 Jan 2016 16:13:54
You'll need to excuse my ignorance here but why is it that no normal Celtic fans standing around these clowns that throw flairs etc say anything to them? Or do they and they just don't care.

11 Jan 2016 16:30:41
Hard thing to confront a team of boozed / hyped up youngsters cmc bhoy. especially if your a middle aged / or older fan. the same age group confronting them could lead to mass brawls.30 + year ago I would probably been in amongst the daftiez making a arse of myself . but age gives you a different perspective . ask the boys involved and they most likely travel everywhere with the team and think they are supporting them . we older fans can see the negatives . but 16 _20 year old?

11 Jan 2016 16:46:26
I kinda guessed that would have been the case drb. I was just wondering if anyone had ever ever seen/ said anything to them. I assume it's a section where there are a few of them all together? I'm only asking as I haven't been to an away day for many a year! It's amazing the perspective age brings haha.

11 Jan 2016 16:48:27
It's up to the clubs.

Celtic need to clamp down on people who are going to have a negative impact on both the club and other fans.

Other clubs, police and security may need to start more rigorous checks.

Ed007, a penny for your thoughts on this one? I've seen you talk about the grasses and panty wetters before.

Personally I know that I'd be fine standing next to somebody with a flare. I'd be confident using one safely too. But you get idiots in society and potentially allowing tens of thousands of p*ssed people using them is dangerous.

There are rules and laws in life you may not agree with but you still adhere to them because you know the consequences on both yourself and others.

{Ed007's Note - It's storm in a tea cup with the usual idiots and cranks in our support getting their knickers in a twist over nothing as they sit on their couch Tweeting about how 'outraged' they are.}

11 Jan 2016 17:06:28
Like all neds they hang around in numbers which gives them super human powers, speak to them individually and butter wouldn't melt i'd imagine. I wouldn't advise anyone to have a go at them verbally or otherwise. Just report them to the nearest steward or copper would be the better option.

11 Jan 2016 17:08:33
Do you think it's acceptable ed, assuming these people know they are going to bring a sanction to the club and possibly other fans?

{Ed007's Note - Are they, so what sanctions are they going to bring to the club?}

11 Jan 2016 17:22:44
Well this latest incident won't have a case opened up immediately I don't think (? ) . But down the line if it continues we could easily be looking at having away supports banned from grounds. That's unfair on those who want to go to games and have the respect to behave as they should.

{Ed007's Note - Where did you hear that we could 'easily' have our away support banned from grounds? It sounds like you've been listening to the Damp Panties CSC.}

11 Jan 2016 17:28:58
I think we could go on all day about what's acceptable and what's not. It's a bit like the song selection, personally I don't have a problem and they bring an atmosphere but at the end of the day it's the club that suffers.

11 Jan 2016 17:45:26
Will the same people who are outraged in the press report the sfa spl when they put on a pyro/ smoke display at the cup finals. how can we condemn daft boys when displays are used to enhance cup final experience. this happens at football grounds all over the world but it's seems it's only an outrage when it's celtic fans . I personally don't like pyros but can see how it appeals to others.

11 Jan 2016 17:56:32
Don't mind being a panty wetter if i'm incorrect and crying over spilt milk. Am I wrong? Is it not possible such actions would be taken? I couldn't give two hoots about the fines. Just don't like the idea of other peoples times being spoilt by sad acts. These 'pyro shows' by 'ultras' don't even look impressive, just sad. We could go on all day about rights and wrongs but throwing a flare on a pitch as the teams are about go come out? That is just wrong, and sad.

{Ed007's Note - I'm sure it'll look a lot better up at Tannadice on Friday night, pyro always looks better at matches played at night. (rock) (party)

11 Jan 2016 18:16:22
It probably will. No doubt there'll be a "f*ck uefa, the sfa and wet panties" banner too. You'll give yourself away ed.

{Ed007's Note - Someone should just hold up a big banner saying 'F**K YOU!' and see how many supporters get upset by it and start claiming it's aimed at them.}

11 Jan 2016 18:24:12
The people throwing flares on to the park etc are bags. End of!! What would any right thinking person be wanting to do such a thing?

11 Jan 2016 18:53:31
Totally agree ED. I have a theory: if you shout c**t into a room, some people will turn to see what's going on, and some will think you're talking to them.

11 Jan 2016 18:55:38
No right minded person would want through flares around a crowded football stadium. Its a bunch of so called supporters sticking 2 fingers to the club and the rest of the support saying they'll do what they want. A shower of that we could really do without.

11 Jan 2016 20:01:53
I don't understand the mentality of these people, the club don't want them to throw flares, most supporters don't want them to throw flares, and it gives people who hate our club the opportunity to give us a kicking, so what do they think they are achieving by their actions?
The fact that they bring these flares to the stadium, shows that they are deliberately sticking 2 fingers up to the club, I wish they would come out and explain how they think they are supporting the club with their actions.

11 Jan 2016 20:28:15
They aren't supporters Gerry no matter how many people make excuses for them.

{Ed007's Note - I've not seen anyone making any excuses, excuses for what exactly? I'd say that anyone who spends over 4 hours travelling for a game of football has proven their worth as a supporter - no matter who says otherwise.}

11 Jan 2016 21:17:31
It's not often I disagree with you ed but that's ridiculous. We've been fined umpteen times for it, the so called fans know it but persist in doing it. Why? They know that the media will be all over it but they still do it. They either don't care about the reputation of the club or they're just f*cktards.

{Ed007's Note - When has the SPFL or SFA fined the club - or any club - for pyro at a game?}

11 Jan 2016 21:44:20
By them I'm not sure but by uefa 2 or 3 times.

{Ed007's Note - Yesterday's match wasn't played under UEFA's umbrella.}

11 Jan 2016 21:56:57
I don't really see your point ed. Have the club and fans not been warned before by the Sfa and the police? Do these fans not know that the club will be punished! Do these fans not know that the media will drag our name through the mud any chance they get?

{Ed007's Note - My point is you said the club had been fined umpteen times which they really haven't and never by the SFA/SPFL, I don't expect any punishment this time either. What UEFA do or don't do is nothing to do with it and personally I couldn't give a toss what the SFA and especially the police say.
I'll assume you're one of the fans that, along with the SFA and police, supports the OBF Act?}

11 Jan 2016 22:14:46
I don't actually. I'd also sing song after song and have a flare in my hand if it was allowed. My point is the club is constantly getting dragged through the mud by these morons. You can think what you want about the police etc but that doesn't change the fact we've been warned time and time again. Fight the law, fight the authorities, fight the act, but do it the right way and stop tarnishing our name.

{Ed007's Note - Look at the people who are doing the dragging, any other time they say anything we all tell each other to ignore them etc, why's it so different now? Perhaps there wasn't anything RD done at the weekend to help sell their papers.}

11 Jan 2016 22:37:44
I totally agree ed. but knowing that as soon as any of our fans step out of line they will be on us like flies on shite should be enough for us to think differently. Can you imagine if its as bad as this just now what it would be like if one of the flares hit someone? It's easy to ignore when they talk utter mince but as far as I can see there's nothing they have said about this incident that's factually incorrect? On a side note was it really 3 minutes between the 'incidents' and the DR updating their website?

{Ed007's Note - So why let it bother you what newspapers write? It's like listening to Radio Snyde and moaning about it, if you don't listen to it you won't have anything to moan about. Who are we supposed to be impressing with our behaviour in the first place, the press, Zombies, who?}

11 Jan 2016 22:48:26
Travelling a great distance doesn't automatically make you a better fan than anyone else. Sing songs that bring constant embarrassment and chucking flares about even when the club has constantly asked people not is likely to get criticism and get you labelled a trouble maker.

{Ed007's Note - Jings ma boab, those pesky labellers are involved now! You know how Ultras LOVE their labels.}

11 Jan 2016 23:48:03
but we all know the papers and radio talk mince and that's fine to ignore. It's a little harder when they are right whether there's consistency in their stories or not. These fans let everyone of the decent fans down. They constantly think they are above the law and even the club. It bothers me because this tarnishes our reputation which has taken a few hits lately. It's quite obvious they have no respect for the club or they wouldn't be doing it. Simple as that.

{Ed007's Note - When the hits the fans bring on are as bad as the board brings I'll start worrying.}

11 Jan 2016 12:39:19
What time is the draw getting done.

11 Jan 2016 13:58:31
18.15.

11 Jan 2016 15:33:47
To save you waiting, the draw is going to be:

Hearts v Celtic

Rangers v Linlithgow Rose

The Rangers match will be broadcast live on TV.

11 Jan 2016 15:55:40
OH Gerry you are so cynical, I make them playing Annan at Ibrox, then witholding the wee club's share of gate money lol.

11 Jan 2016 15:57:43
I'm hoping we get them at Ibrox and they chuck Dallas Jr. in just for good measure because we'll still beat them. Hammering teams like Dumbarton and Cowdenbeath has given them delusions of grandeur.

11 Jan 2016 16:02:43
gerry yur sum man wee pat salutes ye! lmfaaff. here whit if that IS the draw then you kin be clair voyent?
here am sure a winched her maw in the 70's.

11 Jan 2016 16:22:24
The draw has been pockled for so long It shouldn't matter who we get, where they send us, what time we kick off or what honest mistake merchant they appoint.
We were robbed of a treble by a cheat and his sidekicks last season and we need no further incentive or cause to assert our superiority and keep the detractors 'clamped'.

11 Jan 2016 18:33:52
A see what u mean lads 👍🏿.

11 Jan 2016 11:41:41
I have to admit I've been fairly impressed by the standard of player we've been linked with so far but, as always with Celtic, I won't hold my breath on any of them materialising and just cross my fingers that we've done a wee bit of decent business come Feb 1st.

11 Jan 2016 13:50:37
Have we put a bid in for Sigthorsson?

11 Jan 2016 15:58:28
I don't think there's an official bid.

11 Jan 2016 16:29:13
Out of all the players we have been linked with he's the only one that would improve the starting 11 . Hope this is true but doubt this will happen as he's got a very good goal scoring record . Me normaly sign strikers that are a project.

11 Jan 2016 16:38:02
I think Mane and Pantic would get in too mind KC. Haven't seen as much of Mane but he looks a handful.

11 Jan 2016 16:55:12
Probably wishful thinking but would love us to get Mane, Pantic, Mocinic and Sigthorsson in and get rid of all the deadwood.

11 Jan 2016 17:00:04
Didn't anybody watch sithgorson against us he was utter rubbish he had one decent season in holland . also he was around 4th choice of the strikers we were looking at around the . he just isn't very good.

11 Jan 2016 18:02:20
We tried but just couldn't get any over the line.

11 Jan 2016 18:04:16
I was thinking earlier he looked bang average against us DRB! One decent season is too harsh though. He'd improve the striking dept no doubt. One step at a time.
