Just want to mention Tommy Burns, 10 years has flew in and his legacy still lives on. A true Celt. God Bless TB.

15 May 2018 17:49:09
Tommy Burns always remembered. The man who told Brendan that when you play for Celtic you play for a people and a cause. Thanks for the memories Tommy. RIP ☘️.

Time there was a statue of TB at Lennoxtown. He deserves it and this one should be fan funded.

15 May 2018 19:30:21
Totally agree Stan hopefully it's asap.

15 May 2018 20:07:46
Just need someone with a bit of experience in this type of thing to lead the way Pud. Reckon it would be self funded by the fans within a day. HH.

16 May 2018 00:46:38
Getting a sculpture commissioned should be easy enough and as you say the fans would raise the amount needed.

16 May 2018 06:51:24
I agree about TB statue and, with respect to him, I would like to see a statue to the Bunnet first.
Wee Ferguson saved us from having to endure all the crapewe are currently enjoying over at the asbestos arena.

16 May 2018 12:16:27
I would be right behind both TT.

Hi all, with the transfer window opening soon, I've been looking at some realistic transfer targets. These are just my thoughts only and i'd like to hear other peoples thoughts.

Brian Cufre (LB) but can probably play (RB) (CM) - Plays for Velez and is Argentinian, Very fast, tricky player with an eye for a pass and is very robust defensively.

Cristian Romero (CB) but can play (RB) - Plays for Belgrano and again is Argentinian, Solid defender and quite pacey, no nonsense but doubt he'd be keen on playing triangles around the defence.

Lucas Rodriguez (AM) But can play (LW and RW) - Plays for Estudiantes and Argentinian again, this guy is a real gem. Very quick and skilful, and is highly rated in Argentina, valued at only £2-3million, playing in Europe his value would rocket up.

Zakaria Bakkali (LW) - Plays for Deportivo La Coruna and is Belgian/ Morrocan, I remember watching Eredivise a couple years ago, and Bakkali was a really promising player for PSV, He was sought after in Europe, and at 22 has kind of dipped under the radar, very skilful and fast.

Sorry for the long post guys, and if you are bored or anything, check these guys out on YouTube. I know anyone can look good on YouTube, but they are young, and cheap.

Also ED, have you heard any updates on Leo Mazis and Karamoko? Will we see either of them in Pre-season, or do you not know, Thanks!

{Ed007's Note - I'd be surprised to see either of them and I don't think there were will be many pointless friendlies in preseason with us playinf four CL qualifiers.}

15 May 2018 11:15:06
We were linked to Bakkali before he went to Valencia. Talented player but no end product. We need players in the wider areas to be consistent and BR has talked in the past that the attacking players need to contribute with goals.

15 May 2018 11:53:04
We could put up a list of literally hundreds. We will just need to wait and see. The guessing games, inside info, taxi driver intelligence, your brothers mates, sister who used to work in Greggs and sold a pie to Lawell, who confided in her our plans.

The guy who sits beside a guy who sat beside a guy at a funeral. :)

The Twitter make it up aff the tap ay their heeds, will be out in force.

Mental season on its way. From a taxi driver near you.

It’s only believable if the rumour ends with FACT.

15 May 2018 15:18:14
True very true I got told that celtic. Had looked at non-italian napoli player. I was told November last year but nothing in papers. Man was convinced said he owned a chippie East end.

15 May 2018 18:29:07
Thanks for clearing that up ED. I agree about speculating and i'm not one to say I have sources here and there, but they are just some players who i'd like us to look at, however I know players from the Americas never really perform here.

{Ed007's Note - There's nothing wrong with posting about players you've seen and you'd like to sign, Brendan.}

15 May 2018 08:11:01
Stunned! reading through the posts i saw a YPF post damning a show of support for Palestine, are you serious? Have you seen the slaughter over there? This needs to be publicised as the MSM will not tell the facts. Remember what this great club was founded for.

We are watching as people are being shot DEAD and critically injured fro sniper fire. And YPF thinks go and get a gun not hide behind a flag is a suitable response? Sorry about the politico ED but i find that amazing.

15 May 2018 10:08:07
Ypf has seen witnessed at first hand people killing themselves over religion/ race/ land/ power/ greed.

I don't know how old you are fgimarktwo, but my post is we should be waving flags for the celtic football club and not for political reason. If you are young everything will become clear to you when the time is right.
The celtic banter page is a football page and chat for football
(why i joined) not political. although their is room for tangents
I suggested the person or persons who feel the need to save these people should join them in their struggle. If that takes a weapon or peace campaign so bit it their choice.

@Fgimarktwo sometimes we are too scared to look in the mirror to see who the killers are, or were, and who paid money to support their fight. There is no freedom with the hand of a gun only death and destruction and the people suffer.

Support your team enjoy yourselves and live life. Hail Hail.

{Ed001's Note - by your reckoning, no one should give money to charity unless they are prepared to run a marathon for the cause then? Everyone should surely do what they can, no matter how small it is, to help or the world will stay a mess if we all take your blasé attitude to it.}

15 May 2018 10:50:16
Ed my bottom line is do something about it at if you feel the need to do it. but not at a football stadium. simples.

{Ed001's Note - they are doing something....whether you disagree or not it is their right to protest.}

15 May 2018 11:15:02
@YPF. I am a fifty eight year old man who frankly could do without your condescending attitude. Why would age be relevant here? Are there not any young people who have done the research and are educated on the subject?

You claim, and i do not disbelieve you, you have seen people kill over the usual causes. This was the norm in an age before we can see for ourselves, sometimes within seconds, atrocities around the world. Now we know who profits from war, and who the real victims are, you think we should not protest against this?

You ask who paid the money to cause such death and destruction? Why good old blighty helped by supplying arms to any despot with cash. This Disunited Kingdom, and we have no right to protest or take a side? On the football ground being an appropriate place? look at the coverage and the awareness raised by it. Surely the very core point of the exercise.

One thing to remember is we as a fan base doubled the fine that was wrongly, in my opinion, levied on us. that's something to be proud of. That's the Celtic way.

15 May 2018 11:17:10
This again 😂.

Let the people sing. Let them wave flags too.

15 May 2018 11:19:58
The point Ed. I never disagreed with people's right to protest, i disagree with it being at at football game. I can't make it any clearer than that.

{Ed001's Note - and so do I, but that is the point, I just disagree not think I can come on and give it all the holier-than-thou crap and tell them they should do something else. Everyone has the right to choose. They choose to show their displeasure via a few flags, I really do not see why you think you have a right to tell them how to act.}

15 May 2018 11:38:07
@fgjmarktwo respect your comments, condescending, let me apologise on the way it came across. I feel that we should be steering away from politics in football.

15 May 2018 11:34:00
not telling anyone how to act ed, suggested that there are other ways rather than football games.

{Ed001's Note - no, you told them that they should go and take up arms if they disagreed rather than waving a flag. That is telling someone how to act.}

15 May 2018 12:26:20
@YPF, thank you for the apology a misunderstanding mate. Cheers.

15 May 2018 14:13:23
What Israel is doing and getting away with must be the greatest scandal in the world Is it simply because of the vast richness of Jewish people in all the rich established Countries in the World . Do these people donate millions to the English Tory party, to both the Republican &? Democrats in the United States and to ruling parties in other Countries .
I am not sure about above, I have never fully understand this whole scinario .
If someone about Isreal's treatment of the Palestinians then they are labelled anti Zionists.

15 May 2018 21:14:14
@ OMChris. Not Jews mate zionists. Backed by nutcase USA evangelical preachers who want to bring forth the rapture! Zionism is political not religious.

15 May 2018 21:17:48
There's a conspiracy page if u click on the links at the top of the page, the ed on there explains about the plans for Israel and greater Israel, it's scary what they're doing and Palestine is just the beginning.

15 May 2018 22:42:27
nothing wrong with taking up arms to fight for a just cause.

16 May 2018 02:14:10
Very true james.
