Hearts fans attacked. Hearts supporters buses attacked.the hearts team held inside ibrokes for their own safety, A female hearts fan dragged to the ground and kicked, and of course the obligatory sectarian chants. Be very interesting to see how the media cover this tomorrow. If any Celt misses this they need their head looked at, makes you wonder what like the semi will be like

Couldn't miss the "minority" 35000 singing the billy boys. New club same vile human beings. Not a minority a plague

Absolute animals. Total disgrace people can't go to watch their team play without that carry on! Hope the woman is alright

I hope the appropriate authorities apply the appropriate punishment(s), surely a polis matter first, before the sfa apply their punishment.

This mob really need to Die Another Day

And what will the SFA do to them? SFA aptly named

Take it yous were all at the game to witness these events? Take it it was a majority of Celtic fans that attacked the police in amsterdamn? Take it every Celtic fan supports the ira chants? Grow up, I was there with my 7 year old and before the match even started I was called a dirty zombie b****** by several hearts fans who most were woman as I had to walk past away fans entering ground. Every team has persons definately not a majority and don't give it poor hearts as there fans definately had a go at rangers fans first.

Having being spat on & punched on the way to Swinecastle Hearts fans are just as vile.

Both fans are persons

Cee I can't comment on events I haven't witnesed. All I can comment on was how many people could be heard singing the billy boys. A song which celebrates wading in the blood of others. It was not the minority singing that song but if you weren't one of them then I apologise to you. But I stand by what I said about the other vast amount of your fellow "supporters" who were heard singing it. As for hearts fans they have a vile element but that wasn't the point I was making either. And you will never hear pro ira chants at celtic park only at away games. And that is a minority

@Ceexxx; Did I say it was every sevco fan? You cannot deny when the fenian blood flows the VAST majority indulge in it. As for our fans, yes we have people as does every club does but that's hardly and excuse. lok at the crap we had to listen to re the Dundee game away.Almost a full week on snyde and the tabloids.

Good to see you on here Ceexxx and good to have another's point of view you are correct each setoff fans do have there hard core element but I condone violence to ANY one all for a game of football just stupid

{Ed007's Note - You can't possibly be taking Ceexxx serious? Anyone with eyes could see what was going on, and it was all pre-arranged. Imagine being called a zombie lmfao that must really have cut to the bone. Sweep, sweep..... Next he'll be telling us his daughter has got asthma!}

@007. Brilliant mate, the old asthma gag.Love it!

{Ed007's Note - (yes)

Ed she doesn't my son does though he is outgrowing it, and it was not being called a zombie that annoyed me it was the swearing and shouting in front of my child that did.

Green jed although u did not say majority someone else did. the only personic people who sing that or any other stupid song are the union bears or whatever they call themselves now and the hearts fans were keen as well! I hate it as much as most normal people. And I hope whoever was involved in the events are taken to task but wasn't a majority of fans

Been confirmed on BT that Madden will not referee cup game

Did not know until tonight Paul George had left Celtic. Had hoped he would make an impact under Lenny but with the injury it wasn't to be. Hope he kicks on now and has a successful career elsewhere. Good luck to him.

Welcome GMS, Hopefully we can get him in asap as he is needed with important games coming up.

I would be astonished if we don't get gms in just now. I think we will, its just a game between us and Utd the now over a few quid here and there. But even it will cost 250k the manager has identified a player he wants in who won't cost a lot, so he has to be backed,

Aye. RD has indicated he wants him now. I agree. Sooner the better. Get him playing with the team so that he's adjusted ready for CL qualifiers; and, I for one genuinely think he will improve our side. He plays the RAM role better than anybody we have has done this season. Utd may not need to sell, but perhaps cashing in on a player they know is leaving is more beneficial than keeping him for their league campaign, suppose it depends on who THEY can get in for whatever they can get from us. Even at 250k though I don't think they could get a better player so guess we will just have to wait and see. The ball really us in their court.

Being cynical and well versed in the way Mr Lawwell's mind works, I expect VVD to leave in next 2 weeks with Mackay Smith signed as an appeasement. Watch this space.

Yeah a agree he will be in as the window closes for circa 100k, Utd fans will turn on him IMO & he will get accused of coasting and staying clear of injury bhoy cannot win now

Exactly Jim. Rd has split opinion so much in the stands and on here. But the fact is he was the boards choice so he has to be backed. Especially if they are going to cash in on vvd. Another 10m in the kitty look forward to seeing that re invested in players.

Timalloy how do you work that one out? How can signing GMS a RM possibly even appease fans for losing VVD, a CB in a position which is already a concern with no replacement?

Dont think timalloy was saying it should appease us, just that will be the plan

Edinbhoy I know what he is saying, but its unrealistic to think that is boards plan. They know that there will be a massive uproar if VVD is sold and no CB is brought to replace. They also know signing GMS won't "appease" as defence will be futher weakened in a position we already have issues.

That is sarcasm Garybhoy isn't it?

DN I know what your saying. But you can't blame someone for being apprehensive. It seems the players going out price tags are just getting higher and higher which is great. But the players coming in price tags are getting lower and lower.

Just a bit Jim

Agree with you Timalloy I can see us getting GMS and another CB in and VVD will be offski, The speech will be Virgil was replaced and we got in a RM so we finished in a stronger position than we started rubbish!

GMS has signed pre-contract. Expect a cheeky bid of £250k to get him at club this window

16 Jan 2015 12:46:18
DN30 £250k is NOT a cheeky bid, that is what United want, a cheeky bid would be £100k

If that's the case why not pay £1m to sign him just now instead of pre-contract then offer take it or leave it fee? It wasnt the monetary value of bid that I was talking about.

16 Jan 2015 14:13:20
Dn30 what were u talkin about? Do u even know? Lol.like Tim said,they want 250 so it's not a cheeky bid if that's what they'r after! If it wasn't the monetary value then what was it?

Dangy I do know what i'm talking about. What I was meaning was cheeky was getting mackay-steven signed on pre-contract then offer take it or leave it bid to sign him just now. i'm not complaining if it goes through this window at less than 250k. i'm just concerned if it doesn't go through as we need players.

16 Jan 2015 15:24:18
Ok mate cool,just wondering what u meant that's all.i agree that we need players to,and I'm hoping with this signing it leads to a change in transfer policy,and we start bringing more scottish players in! Armstrong next would be good and I like the look of Scott Allan at hibs.

I think it was way I worded it mate lol I agree with signing more players from scottish leagues. We have missed out on too many players like mccarthy, mcarthur and robertson, who would of vastly improved team

16 Jan 2015 11:42:32
Glad to see we've tied up GMS should have him signed this window now! I'm not really a fan of loans but what about Shaun Wright philips? I don't know if he's still got it but he's direct and not playing at QPR maybe worth a wee gamble?

He hasn't had it since 2004!

16 Jan 2015 16:46:18
I know but when did he last have a decent run of games? Not by any means saying he's the answer to anything just an idea.

I think with his pace he would run riot in Scotland but his wages are well out our range. We are grumbling over 250k to get gms in just now. SwP would command that every month

What a package for SWP would cost we could buy and pay the wages of a much younger, and even better player imo. There are some great deals on a free every year sos I know where you're coming from - i've suggested free agents all the time - SWP is not a good deal though.
