A car full of drunk women *shudder* Be prepared for one of two scenarios: a) You are a complete ar5ehole or b) 'AAaww He's a great guy for picking us up, take something for the petrol'.....}

not everyones cup of tea. but i for one am happy to see commons back. i think if him and izzy can recapture last seasons form we will be hard to stop in the remainder of the season

Always liked commons,even when he played down south.showed last season what he can bring to the table.lets get the problems sorted and get a great player back.

Evening ED007, just back from game but not what I am on to talk about. I sadly witnessed 2 Celtic fans abuse a father and his young daughter (about 11) because she was wearing a pink scarf with a union jack on it. You can guess, get that union jack to f..., singing it to a wee girl, brave guys NOT. I take two teenage girls to games so I knew what the father was thinking, protect the girl, I was really angry and told idiots I was a Tim also an they were giving Celtic a bad name. I was then called all the Orange B's of the day (bears on here will love that)
Luckily a bunch of young Celtic fans intervened and saw off these thugs. We asked father if he wanted to report it to police but he said no. I am still angry at two so called Celtic fans doing that to a young girl. I disown them and hope they are ashamed if they read this. Timalloy {Ed007's Note - Shameful behaviour Tim.}

I'll take this story with a pinch of salt

ED007, luckily at time I was by myself but when I told girls what happened, they called me stupid as I should have recorded it on my mobile and taken it to police, you can tell I am not as quick on the uptake as the youngsters, now kicking myself i never thought of doing it, but anyway I was too busy rounding on the idiots. Timalloy

Well ed af got a wee story about that!how s**t wiz dont TOLERATE IT at all my wee ma is stuck wi a disaes wi mnd (MOTOR NEURONE DISEASE)spellin and a wis in my mas hoose and my uncle so called) family told me wit u dane wi that tap on (CELTIC TOP) a wiz uptae help my wee maw wen this a**ehole (bitter b*sterd) sayin his grand waines wouldnae step in to his house wi a celtic top on and i told him am no ure f***in grand waine am up to help my mum but there were helpers ther and my da said i need to apoligize for arguin way cmon man my wee ma is dyin and the hit oot wi that i felt like reporting then for bigotry as thats wot i c it is oh my wee ma is a RANGERS SUPPORTER THROW AND THROW its actually bringin tears to wot am writin SO PLEASE STOP ALL BIGOTRY s**t,same disease that wee jinky died wi please post ed cos itz not RITEM8 :-(,stef1967, {Ed007's Note - Nothing I can say to that Stef, chin up mate.}

Cheers ed,stef1967,

Stef1967, sad sad story, my heart goes out to you, as you say ALL BIGOTRY is wrong Timalloy
PS cannot believe some people are putting disagree or doubting this happened, who is sadder?

There is still idiots on both sides and as much as the clubs and all the thousands of decent fans that want all this stuff to stop sadly these people still persist in doing it {Ed007's Note - I doubt we will ever truly get rid of it but at least it is the minority now, which is a start when you think back over the years.}

TIMALLOY cheers m8 shes had it for about 3 yrs now and it gony get wors but my wee ma cant get over wot the bigots said that day (so cold aunt, uncle),stef1967,

Stef1967:be strong for your poor mum mate i lost both my parents to cancer so i feel for you brother.god bless you both. green jhedi. {Ed007's Note - I just lost my dad last February to cancer Jhedi. He was only 58, such a waste.}

Cheers green jehdi, hi ed how can eny1 disagree wi wot i said unless they r bigots or sick so wot would happen if any of the disagreers family had that so who agrees wi that,stef1967 {Ed007's Note - Don't bother your ar5e with people who use those buttons, I would do way with them if I had the choice.}

Steph, two points the ones who press these buttons are gutless, hiding behind it. other point is I think most of it is meant for me, some people do not even read the content, but if my name is there they press disagree. I think 8 so far on my posts, as I said gutless as they cannot even discuss it. Hope things improve for your mum Timalloy

is it just me that thinks ki should be in for brown? brown slows us down and his contribution is negligable for me.mis-placed passes,no goal threat and a bit of a time bomb into the bargain.heard today discreet contact was made with elvis at falkirk regarding el-aligue,think he might do the job y'know. green jhedi. {Ed007's Note - Brown when fit is one of the first names on the team-sheet, and rightly so IMO.}

Totally agree.need browns dig

Edoo7:why? when was the last time you saw a game n thought brown was a standout? yea lots of energy but a better footballer than ki,victor,kayal,forrest,ledley? i think we play better without him. greenjhedi. {Ed007's Note - I've already been through this umpteen times. Did you not notice we went through our bad patch when he was out injured? He is captain for a reason, he brings a bit of drive, steel and swagger to the team. Every team needs someone like that even Barca. Roy Keane was no Zidane but he done all the dirty work for Man Utd and done it well. Brown is that kind of player. Maybe if he had a fancy foreign name you would appreciate him more. NL made him club captain for a reason, he sees a lot of himself in Brown on the park. We are sitting top of the league and still in both cups, I think NL has been more than justified with his faith in Brown.}

Ki came on and was rotten, what the heck was he up to when put thro, brown for me

Edoo7:fancy foreign name! listen mate iv been watching celtic for over 45 years n seen some real class n real celtic captains also some real dross it has to be said but you cant possibly compare brown with keane who ruled the english midfield for years.the greatest midfield display iv ever seen was keane v juventus away,after gettin booked and knowing he would miss the final he dominated the whole game.nl is the man to lead us ,win the league or not but iv yet to see brown take a game by the scruff of the neck n dominate it.greenjhedi {Ed007's Note - I'm not comparing Brown to Keane as a player, I'm comparing his style and attitude. You never see Brown pulling out of a tackle, he will let other players know if they aren't pulling their weight and if teams want to mix it up a bit, who is that first one in their protecting his team mates? He shouldn't be getting played out right though, he should be in the middle.}

I agree ed, he should be bang in the centre of the park , thats his position, leave the right wing to wee shooders {Ed007's Note - We call Forrest 'Nae Neck' ;-)

Edoo7. good point mate,i actually thought nl might av put him in there cos of kayal's injury ,maybie right side to protect young adam? as always interesting thoughts cheers. green jhedi {Ed007's Note - I think the midfield looks a bit lightweight without him playing but he is no winger, a whinger maybe :-)

Broony reminds me of myself when i ran the midfield for st james',lmfao

Missed wee James tormenting them today ! Please don't call him names - Mrs E {Ed007's Note - It's just fun Mrs, he doesn't mind as long as he gets to watch Ben 10 when he eats packed lunch ;-)

All this bad mouthing of Brown reminds me of the rubbish that Lenny got.

some people just can't see what they bring to a team....because they're not scoring or involved in some barcelona-esque skipping past players, doesn't mean they're not doing anything.

like the Ed says, look at the times he's been out injured, and how we struggle as a team. i bet if we looked at his stats he probably covers more ground than most

I thought Brown was one of our best performers today and IMO hasn't had a bad game since returning from injury. He got forward into some good areas, got down the byline a few times (against their LB who I felt had a great game for Dundee United) and bailed out Matthews (who I felt had a very poor game) on a number occasions by winning the ball back after he'd gifted them possession.

I think his recent performances have shown why he's captain. Could've scored today were it not for Stokes doing his usual by squandering a chance when someone else is far better positioned to score.

As for Ki I think he's a great player to have as he offers a bit of creativity and is good around the opposition penalty area but he's not the most physical and too often goes missing. IMO given Kayal is injured if Ki is to play (especially against the better, more physical midfields) it has to be alongside Brown to compensate. Wanyama is good in the challenge as well but not as aggressive.

Who's kidding who here r we trying 2say we went through bad spell cos brown wasn't playin ,we were crap 2day cos NL played brown on one wing and samaras on the other ,the both of them should have been hauled off after half time .What has Brown and Samaras,s contributions in 4 years been {Ed007's Note - The statistics speak for themselves. Was it just a coincidence that Rangers went 15 points clear in the league after Brown was injured in the first derby match?}

We were crap today?

who's we?, cos Celtic were far from crap. jittery in the second half, but our performance and passing in the first was up there with the best of the season.

and using brown and samaras as wide midfielders has been used to great effect

I know we all look forward to new players coming in, but the biggest coup this year will be to keep the players we have. Hooper has been fantastic, Wanyama in my opinion is absolute class, The defence looks good and we're creating lots of chances. I would like to see Salihi sign.....for the money they are asking for, he's a bargain. Save money on a CB (which I think we have plenty of cover for) and buy a quality striker for 3/4 million + Salihi 500k. Get rid of Rasmussen, Bangura, Juarez. PS enjoyed Fat Sally bricking it today at St Johnston (how many times did he ask how long to go........the answer is not long then you can grab your p45).

Ssn showing a big about Rhodes Jeeso that kid has some skills, him n Jamesy together would just be ridiculous but can't see it happening tho.
My mate reckons that due to him choosing Scotland rather than England for international sUggesrs that he might think about coming to us, but I just can't see it happening at all.
CB

We defo need a quality striker. And rid of duds. Bangura

For the record, a young KB could once be seen flicking his fringe, donned in a multi-coloured pringle diamond jumper. With a lemon roll neck underneath it in winter.
Lol.
In my defence, I never wore Farahs though !
Stone washed jeans instead. Wahhhh !
There's a good shop called 'Stuarts of London' that does a lot of the 80's footy fahions, which are in big style with the kids now.
It's a bit like your wedding suit coming back into fashion. You know you're old then. Lol.
Gotta go, Fred Dibnah's on tele...
The Real KB {Ed007's Note - Brilliant mate LMAO Farah trousers were the staple school trousers for me though :-(

Yeah I remember my granddad wearing farah trousers lol
CB {Ed007's Note - Hey less of that talk!!!!}

I had to man it was just to easy
CB

Lol CB !
The best of it was, I was **** skinto in the 80's. I saved up my dinner money, walked to school and college to save the bus money, was on the nat king cole for a year with a pound an hour job on the side. All to save up for that sh1t !
Lol.
The Real KB

Was funny cause was watching football focus n they showed a game in the 80s when a advertising board had farah on it. Had a wee laugh to myself then, do they still make them?
CB {Ed007's Note - I have no idea and no inclination to know!!!}

They do mate, yes.
And you can get them at the aforementioned shop too.
Greenwoods, the owld fellas shop, used to have them too :-D
The Real KB {Ed007's Note - That's terrible if folk under 60 still wear them!}

Just in from the game and read kb's post had nearly all the colours that farah came in along with various pringles lyle n scott polo neck but my favourite "away"top was my green/white benetton those where the days

I know it's not compulsary to sign players in each transfer window, but as the powers that be decided all these years ago that business can only be conducted within set time restaints, it is now understood that clubs use the Jan window to take stock and replace/add where feasible.
I think one of our biggest faults over the years has been failure to off-load the deadwood and I don't mean by just re-loaning the same guys every 6 months and pretending they don't exist.
We currently have a handfull of guys who clearly do not have a future at the club (whether we supporters like them or not) and better efforts should be made to sell-on and raise cash for players that the manager does want in the team.
This would either help to offer more lucrative deals to top players or obtain the 2/3 players that NL is continually 'having a look at'.
We may try and cover Kayal's absence as we did with Izzy, but what if we get a couple more long term absentees in the run-in?
Personally I believe we shouild strengthen now as a 2 point lead is nothing to be complacent about and added competition for places must be a good thing?
