11 Jul 2020 20:02:51
I really like all the new tops, especially the black one.

Agree2 Disagree0

11 Jul 2020 21:12:35
Every Celtic top reminds me of different players, the first bumblebee kit reminds me of Di Canio, the dark green and black vertical stripes reminds me of Naka etc. Unfortunately this new mint green one reminds me of Judas Johnston 😠.

Reminds me of my Celtic hero Paul McStay. But right now what’s all this piss about Griffiths? Returning not fit etc but don’t believe what so ever.

The home shirt with the striped collar reminds me of Cadette.

Hi ED hope this finds you and the family safe and well in these strangest of times. Just wondering if you have any news on Griff hearing the usual garbage from the supporters of the dark side but can't find anyone or anywhere giving the true story.

Thanks

The Happy Turnkey.

{Ed007's Note - We're fine thanks mate and hope you are all the same. Apparently LG has picked up a knock so hasn't been doing much on-field work.}

11 Jul 2020 20:57:10
Cheers ED on the ball as usual at least I can laugh off the rumours of ( Pool Parties, Drinking ) etc etc.

Take care and stay safe

The Happy Turnkey.

{Ed007's Note - That's just LG's life lol...... LG is the new OG....

11 Jul 2020 23:28:34
I see the club have released a statement regarding griff, it would seem he has came back overweight and hasn’t followed the clubs training regime . If this is true I can’t see him getting many more chances if I’m being honest .

Agree0 Disagree0

11 Jul 2020 22:55:16
seems he's put on the beef during lockdown ed?

you added thanks Ed. I was going to ask how I could share.

11 Jul 2020 13:21:33
That’s a cracker Tim.
The Celtic fans would be mortified if our club was boasting that Glasgow was Green and White, if we had went mega years without a major trophy and our city rivals were going for a historical 10 league titles in a row and we’re on the verge of a Quadtreble.

11 Jul 2020 14:54:02
They should have waited a day and done it tomorrow.
Can you imagine the reaction having that happening on the 12th?

They replaced it with the saltire which the sevconians abhor as well. no one likes us we don't care 🀀.

Got sent a response to that video, a group called scottish protestants against discrimination (seriously) released a statement calling for answers from the polis. These hate crimes against protestants need to stop πŸ˜‚.

πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚ Is that a piss take? Discrimination of protestantsπŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚.

Honestly mate, google it and you'll see the utter tripe they talk. Today will no doubt be a "glorious" read.

Agree1 Disagree0

12 Jul 2020 15:30:37
Hunbelievable πŸ˜‚πŸ˜­. Their an insane Occult. They go against the grain on everything that's sane! Paranoia off the charts. They have been mocked and ridiculed for years which gives us all a great laugh seeing them in meltdown mode.10 in a row and an independent Scotland will end the lot of them. Their reaction then will be on a par with Chernobyl.

Agree0 Disagree0

11 Jul 2020 12:11:01
i actually cannot believe we are going for the Holy Grail of Scottish football 10 in a row as i was a teenager during oldco doing 9 and wonderded if good time would return, and here we are now The biggest strongest richest club in the country, top sports companies falling over them selves to work with Celtic, This season could possibly be the highlight of a generation for fans, i for one am buzzing at the thought of this season Hail Hail 10 in a row.

Believable5 Unbelievable0

11 Jul 2020 12:43:49
I saw it also Davie. I remember being in Blackpool when it was 6 for them, looking out over the water and praying they wouldn't make t 9! I was there at the 3 0 game also. THANK GOD WE STOPPED 10! Oh, it has all turned around now! Even Jim White was saying on talkSPORT yesterday that them closing the gap was a HUGE ask. Long may it continue. There's no reason why we caan't make it 10,11.12. HH!

Agree0 Disagree0

11 Jul 2020 13:34:54
The big difference between us and them when they did 9 in a row is that their business model was not sustainable but ours is.

Even now their business model is not sustainable and it will reach a tipping point like it did with oldco in 2012 if they do not reverse the trend of losing large sums each season.

Agree1 Disagree0

11 Jul 2020 13:55:24
Carmylebhoy they were dark days Im 48 now and to think that some Celtic fans now 18,19 20yr olds have only ever known successful times which is great and long may it continue, i was at the game the day we stopped oldco doing 10 1998 22 yrs ago That day in the north stand i had never saw as many grown men crying with sheer relief since then we have won 15 out of 21 leagues and got better and better 10,11,12 it will be what ever Celtic wants it to be enjoy Hail Hail.

Agree2 Disagree0

11 Jul 2020 16:43:57
You know as hard as it was I'm glad to have lived through the dark days of the 90s because I appreciate these good times all the more for knowing the hurt that mob are suffering it somehow makes it sweeter.

Agree2 Disagree0

11 Jul 2020 17:02:41
It's double delight for the 'fogies' like myself that followed the team around Scotland (and the continent) in the 60's and 70's for the first 9-in-arrow and the Big Cup and although our European pedigree has had it's ups and downs over the past three decades, domestic dominance on this scale - twice in a lifetime is unbelievable.

Agree1 Disagree0

11 Jul 2020 17:34:41
still the best day the best feeling I've felt as a supporter v st johnstone that day stopping that mob doing 10 it was sheer it was incredible.

Agree2 Disagree0

12 Jul 2020 13:57:23
Was working away in Liverpool drove home to listen to it on Clyde no way was I staying down there they just didn't get it at the time irony's a bam.

Agree0 Disagree0

11 Jul 2020 10:18:16
Anno there's speculation around our top players but surely for one season only we could resist top dollar. if these players maintain form and fitness then the club will get more this time next year . As long as we are protected by there contracts which to be fair to Pedro he's usually on the ball.

Believable0 Unbelievable0

11 Jul 2020 11:16:03
Our 2 biggest assets Edouard and Ajar have only 2 years left on their contracts.
If they don’t sign a contract extension their valuation will half going into their final year.
If they refuse to sign extensions, Celtic and Lawwell will have big decisions to make.

Agree3 Disagree0

11 Jul 2020 11:32:59
Only a big decision if its all about money. If its about trophies, breaking records you don't sell.

Agree1 Disagree0

11 Jul 2020 11:45:20
guys i have been critical of mr lawell in the past, but look were he has got us. we have 9iar a treble treble going for a quadruple i think it is time we trust him for the last hurdle and deliver 10iar.

Agree2 Disagree0

{Ed007's Note - How many times have we qualified for the CL during 9 in a row, 4? Look where he's got us but also look at where we could have been if he had backed managers and left footballing people make the footballing decisions.}

11 Jul 2020 12:24:23
Great point Ed: 4/ 8 CL qualifications is hardly over-achieving.

Agree0 Disagree0

{Ed007's Note - πŸ‘

11 Jul 2020 13:35:02
Beating Barcelona. no biggy. Unbelievable that you think getting champions league for 4 seasons isn't good enough. Cluj and aek Athens we should be beating but qualifying for champions league isn't easy now and we made up for it every season by having a good run in the Europa.
Is it lawells fault Lennon decided to play cal at left back vs cluj?

4 champions league appearances and qualified out of tough Europa groups 3 times.

Some people are just never happy.

Agree0 Disagree0

{Ed007's Note - It was Lawwell that appointed Lennon - the cheap option and a yes man who won't rock the boat - who didn't have the tactical nous to see out a game for 14 minutes against Cluj

11 Jul 2020 13:59:16
Ed007 i usually bow to your great experience, but us getting 10iar will supersede my wildest dreams and that of many celtic fans. yes europe could and should be better but we need to accept that the quality o players we need to progress to the levels you would like are just not going to come to us. let us revel in our great success we are having now and start to concentrate on europe when we eclipse that manky mob from the dark side.

Agree0 Disagree0

{Ed007's Note - We can't afford players good enough to get into the CL, is that what you're saying? I don't think it's too much to ask that we qualify for the Group Stages considering the money we spend on wages. Imagine the fees/wages we could afford if we were qualifying every year.}
Being happy to be in the EL is just another example of Celtic kidding on they're a big club but being happy with mediocrity. Celtic like to act like a big club but rarely show the ambition to be one and that's down to the people running the Club, in particular Peter Lawwell.}

11 Jul 2020 14:13:56
Edd007 at this moment in time what do you think is our priority.10iar or champions league group stages?

Agree0 Disagree0

{Ed007's Note - The league should always be our priority, whether that's 2, 10 or 13 in a row.}

11 Jul 2020 14:15:35
mine is 10iar as i did say i have been critical on mr lawell and my previous posts will back that up, but in this period of time i have only one wish.10iar. after that i will join you in asking for the best for the club.

Agree0 Disagree0

{Ed007's Note - The 10 in a row is blinding people to the fact that we haven't progressed in Europe at all over the last 8 years, even this year in the EL we went out with a whimper to Copenhagen after beating Lazio. Think of the finances - and players - who would be available to us if we had qualified for the CL every year AND if Lawwell would spend money and spend it on quality.
Just wait till the meltdown on here when we don't qualify this year again and you'll see how important fans think it is.}

11 Jul 2020 14:36:05
God help us if 10iar is not achieved but i agree there will be a meltdown if europe is another damp squib.

Agree0 Disagree0

{Ed007's Note - There'll be a major meltdown the first cup we lose out on! 😁

11 Jul 2020 15:33:38
thought we had moved on from this ED007
you don't like lennon the board etc.
cant you admit we are in a gd place financially bringing through young talent what we are supposed to do for a well run club. ED007 which is more important than spending huge just to qualify.
i like qualifying with players who don't cost much or making a huge profit selling players.
what if the board where not as astute as they are and spent millions on what and who.
you say lennon was the cheap option does it matter the cheap option is doing ok the club are doing great making players huge profits we have team who are n a gd place and sale value rocketing, great merchandise deals going great season tickets flying out the door.
have a look across the road at there desperation to get winning again that could have been actually that was us at one time not now.

Agree0 Disagree0

{Ed007's Note - Have a look across Europe and see teams with far less money than us consistently qualify for the CL Group Stages instead of comparing us to an 8-year old club that needs loans from directors to survive, the comparison with them is pointless and is just an excuse used by the board's fanboys that they can do no wrong.
If you're happy to be seen as a big fish in a tiny pond then that's up to you, but if Lawwell agrees then he should come out and admit it to the fans.
It's smallmindedness like that that's holding the Club back and will eventually see us left behind altogether.}

11 Jul 2020 15:45:56
I'm dreading it already Ed πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚.

Agree0 Disagree0

{Ed007's Note - #LennonOut πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚

11 Jul 2020 16:55:46
Edd mate let's do 10 then have the revolution.

Agree0 Disagree0

{Ed007's Note - We should have been seeing evolution for years.... where's the promised investment in Lennoxtown and Barrowfield? That's over three years since it was announced we were building and airdome at Lennoxtown.
Seeing the need to compare ourselves with TRIFC, are we going through our own stage of Minty's Moonbeams about floating pitches and casinos etc while the support swallowed it all up because they were winning trophies?}

11 Jul 2020 20:53:40
The leagues our bread and butter every season. Europes just a side show bonus. Not good enough for The Champions League but should be competitive in The Europa League. Beat by Cluj and the Danish mob was poor in Europe. Beat by Livi and the Rangers was worse. PL and the board are happy every year raking in their bonuses. They patronize the fans every season renewal time yet it's in our DNA to back the Club till the day we die. This season we can win 10 in a row, A quadruple treble. 2 trebles in 1 season. πŸ˜ŽπŸ€.

Agree0 Disagree0

11 Jul 2020 23:15:12
Ed 007 I hear what you are saying i get what you say about Europe.
Are we that far away tho little unlucky but win every other cup which is available.
We have the players maybe a few tweeks but the players need to take responsibility we have been building well and getting stronger.

Agree0 Disagree0

{Ed007's Note - Where are we getting stronger, Andy? The season starts in 3 weeks and we have Scott Bain as our only first team GK, our LB position is up in the air with Bolingoli looking like a Β£3.5 million dud and question marks over Taylor, we have a young kid in Frimpong and an injury prone Elhamed at RB, we only have 2 recognised CBs and one of them looks like he's for the off, we build our midfield around a 35-year old CDM who is far too negative in his play and now with LG looking to be out for a while we only have Edouard who has played any part in our success up front.
Even with Klimala doing well in preseason we are short up there, especially if we're going to go with 2 strikers and what happens if Edouard's head is turned by an offer from abroad?}

12 Jul 2020 11:51:29
Last season I thought we played gd winning football enjoyed watching it and even when we went a goal down over the season I thought we where going to win. teams did seem stronger I never really look at stats
but I was wondering if teams like Motherwell Hamilton rangers Aberdeen Hibs etc had gained more points over the season if that's the case league maybe getting a bit tougher
Few of the newer lads are getting there first preseason behind them as you know Celtic have a habit of trying to get players rushed in after qualification it never works. I think they have learned. Few boys new will be ready. Maybe boli Taylor soro klamila Julien moi elhamed can all up there game and push on with a great preseason behind them we can sus them out. The goalkeeping position is a prob let's see what happen transfer doors not open yet. Maybe a few young lads coming through. I don't think we need to many more player edd007 we need a stronger reliable bench we Johnny love or loathe he run himself ragged and put in a shift.

Agree0 Disagree0

{Ed007's Note - Let's hope you're right, Andy but I don't think we need to strengthen the bench we have enough squad players - we need to strengthen the first XI imo.}

12 Jul 2020 13:37:40
Okidoki ed007 that's a fair point.
So far so gd surely we will strengthen if Celtic would only get new players broke in and ready it seems an obvious thing to do. Not to many tho ed007 keeping an eye on cost we are not to desperate or to far away right back cover someonr who will fight for first team. Centre back. And pos bring few lads and actually give them a chance.

Agree0 Disagree0

{Ed007's Note - I'd like to see youngsters like Welsh and Robertson get some game time this coming season, and young Dembele against the right opposition.}

13 Jul 2020 13:43:44
Agreed same thoughts here ed007.
I think it's starting to work for find cheap talent give them a proper pre season start to bleed in young lads. Then repeat this yearly.

Agree0 Disagree0

{Ed007's Note - We should always have 2 or 3 youngsters chapping at the first team squad door.}
