I was reading earlier about how James Forrest is aiming to get a run in the first team. I'm sorry but he has to be one of the worst and least consistent players I have seen in recent years at Celtic. Why we persist with a winger who can't beat a man, can't cross a ball and seems to spend more time injured than the world's thickest stuntman is beyond me. The club should be looking to get him fit and sell him for as much as possible, we have to many mediocre players at the club and Forrest is at the top of the list, he offers nothing more than McCourt or Niall McGinn did.

Every Celtic fan sees Forest as a winger apart from himself and NL . When he replaced Adam Matthews against Motherwell you would automatically see him as the straight replacement to maraud up and down the right wing but no . His greatest strength is his speed and the way he hits the byline . But for some reason he never plays there . The boy must be just following NLs instructions but I just don't get why he isn't told to hug the byline and just go and take on men and get the ball in the box which to me is what he's good at and can only get better . DH

I kinda agree in a way with these posts tbh, James Forrest burst onto the scene and was a player who went to the fullback and went past them, not now, he must be playing to rule from his gaffer, now gaffer moans when fans complain about about his lack of crosses and getting past a full back? please NL get James Forrest to go back to what caught your eye and why he was promoted to first team in first place, stop all the cut inside nonsense and his behind the front man pi55, he's not a kris commons type he has pace and no trick. please sort this out lenny and fans will stop moaning

Hi ed, do you think we will get the guys to sign new contracts, I think 2 or 3 of the younger players could step up if given enough game time, also is there anything for peter lawwell to worry about if the guys get their way regarding the sfa and rangers debacle, what s your opinion {Ed007's Note - As things stand the most likely to leave could be Stokes. I think the fans questioning the board are 100% in the right. Peter Lawwell has severely let the fans down over the whole fiasco and allowed the Ibrox club to get away with murder (no pun intended of course) again. Why should we go along with a lie and blatant rule-breaking just to keep the peace?}

Agree 100% ed, but what annoyed me was when they transferred the membership and none of the smaller teams they queue jumped complained or did anything about it, you would think after years of trying to get into the professional set up they would have at least done something.But I want to ask you this ed do you think once sevco get to the premier league if it ever happens and have got away with everything do you think a lot of the Celtic support would stop going to the games as they would feel it would be pointless, and as you put it get away with murder and nothing done about it.I just hope and pray that uefa and fifa actually step in and sort this but I won't hold my breath.Macca {Ed007's Note - I'm not a great one for fans calling for boycotts or forcing other fans how to think but I would certainly see any fans who give up following the clubs point of view. Why should we pump money into the club, especially in the modern financial climate, when the game is being ran by liars, cheats and crooks.
Even look at the MSM fudge over Dave 'glib and shameless liar' King, they are trying to make out that it was a few silly little mistakes he made with regards to his tax problems but the official court papers paint a very different picture. I'm sorry but you don't face 82 years in prison for a few silly mistakes. This is an official court paper, not a rose-tinted PR spin piece and note that Dave 'glib and shameless liar' King pled guilty:

You have a good memory Ed and will recall posters like myself and GJ eg; expressing our concern over Celtic's silence since Feb 2012 and before.
While it could be seen to be diligent to keep your distance and stay non involved; it would seem that with every month that has passed, there has been additional incidents of corruption and rule bending by our football governing bodies with regards to RIFC.
From delayed accounts to club identity, plus grades of referees, tv reporter being threatened and players betting on their team to lose etc etc.
The media and propaganda merchants have abandoned integrity and have continued a web of deceit for over 18 months with no sign of ultimatum.
Now we have PL in a position to at least pertinently question and probe any dubiety within the hole in the wall gang; I sincerely hope he does not let footballs honest men down.
The charade must end.
