Hilarious Sevco player Brandon Barker must be Ronnie Barkers love child.
He was asked a question about a Sevco chant ( on a Saturday we follow ) he was asked which day of the week do the fans follow and after pausing Brandon answered Friday. Brain of Britain like his team mates πŸ˜‚.

@ Buzz Bomb did you watch the 5-1 game on BBC last night?
I was in stitches at the reaction of Scott Wilson, after he was sent off for totally wiping out wee Lubo with a two footed tackle from behind. His face was all puzzled as he could not understand his sending off "but but this is the way I ALWAYS tackle ref"
Sevco seem to attract more than their fair share of these warmers, no talent, but kiss the jersey players and their fans love it, Andy Halliday anyone lol.

My dad phoned to tell me it was on, but I didn’t bother watching it Tim.
It was good at the time for bragging rights only because we were having such a poor season under Dr. Jo.
I preferred the 6-2 game which helped start 20 years of dominance.

Are The Sevies really that brain dead? Trying to compare the Juventus scenario to ours. Juve are apparently not going to accept the title (and quite rightly so imo) , they are only 1 point ahead of Lazio with 12 games remaining with Lazio having a far superior goal difference. Huge difference to being 13 pts ahead and 25 goals with 8 games remaining.

Well I mite have known they would use Juve as an example, because like the oldco they are also cheating bas**rds who got found out and spent time in the lower leagues! Only difference being was the old co died and the shambles that was spawned had to crawl out the gutter! The words honourable don’t belong in the same sentence as β€˜clubs’ like sevco and Juventus! They are clutching at every fookin straw they can to somehow mask the fact their team, manager and whole club are a joke! Like I’ve mentioned so many times and will continue to do so. their pain and hurt makes me happy and knowing they are suffering makes this lockdown a whole lot more enjoyable! πŸ˜œπŸ˜œπŸ˜œπŸ†πŸ†πŸ†πŸ†πŸ†πŸ†πŸ†πŸ†πŸ†πŸΎπŸΎπŸΎπŸΎπŸΎπŸΎπŸΎπŸΎπŸΎπŸΎπŸΎπŸΎπŸΎπŸΊπŸΊπŸ₯ƒπŸ₯ƒπŸŽ‰πŸŽ‰πŸŽ‰πŸŽ‰πŸŽ‰πŸŽ‰πŸŽ‰πŸŽ‰πŸŽ‰πŸŽŠπŸŽŠπŸŽŠπŸŽŠπŸŽŠπŸŽŠπŸŽŠπŸŽŠπŸŽŠπŸŽŠπŸŽŠπŸŽŠπŸŽ‰πŸŽ‰πŸŽ‰πŸŽ‰πŸŽ‰πŸŽ‰πŸŽ‰.

Danny, you're spot on mate. They're ranting on and demanding clarity, integrity, fair play and decency. I was on the floor at that point lol
The club that has done more to destroy Scottish football for it's own benefit and fekk everyone else is now feeling victimised and demanding fair treatment.
When you have a history like theirs and fans who say (and somehow genuinely believe) they're being picked on it makes you realise that there is no point trying to explain anything to them in a rational sense because they don't and never will understand what sporting integrity is all about.
So that just leaves us with one option, laugh at them, laugh at their tantrums, laugh at their bulllshyt talk and best of all, laugh at their shambles of a football club LOL HH.

Cheers malika. so typical of that lot to use Juve as an example of honour and as one sevy put it, how a real club behaves! Like a said,2 dirty cheating bas**rds who used any means to win football games! No amount of crying and moaning from them will diminish 9iar for any Celtic fan! And their pain at how it’s happened is the cherry on the cake for me! Wanted it won on the park so badly and to be able to celebrate with the players and fans alike! But the pain they feel rite now gives me a warm feeling inside! 😜😜😜😜.

The 14 team SPFL is a non-starter.

The proposal is there would still be a split of 6 top and 8 bottom, therefore, it would not get rid of the split which much of us don't like.

Now there are two options.

1. Play each team twice before the split, which would be 26 games. For top half teams you would go on and play a further 5 matches, making the total 31 and only 3 Celtic v Rangers matches, which would not keep broadcasters happy. The bottom teams would play a further 7 matches, making their total 33. While this may help us in Europe, every club would be taking a hit to their revenue with fewer games and lower prize money.

2. Play each team three times before the split, which would be 39 games. Top teams playing 44 games and bottom teams playing 46 games. This would be majorly detrimental to clubs in Europe, although it would generate more match day revenue for all clubs, which may or may not offset the fall in prize money.

Personally I do not like either scenario.

The 'split' is a laughing stock and counter-productive.
What is wrong with having a 28 game league season along with both domestic cups, European games and the minor cup competitions for lower league teams? This would alleviate fixture congestion and player fatigue and even the winter break could be dispersed with?
Additional revenue could be raised with glamour friendlies and a 'Charity Shield' type season opener and there will also be the dreaded International breaks to fill in empty weeks?

Agree0 Disagree0

17 Apr 2020 14:59:53
Celtic_mad. If you have a 14 team league playing each other twice that would only add up to 26 matches.
There is no way that some of the smaller clubs could survive on such few games. Teams like St Mirren wouldn't be in Europe, they would be unlikely to attract top teams for a glamour friendly, and they would be unlikely to be involved in a Charity shield type match.
At Celtic it would also be a huge loss of revenue as you are cutting the amount of home matches from 19 to 13, that is an awful lot of revenue to pass up.

Agree0 Disagree0

17 Apr 2020 19:26:05
if (for whatever dumb reason they want to keep it) we can't do away with the split then wonderboy has it spot on.
(if they increase SPFL from 12 to 14 teams which makes sense all round)

Colour me surprised.

Until recently the Scottish Players Union were OPPOSED to any of their players playing ANY match, in front of fans or behind closed doors "too dangerous" they said. Suddenly their position has "changed" and Fraser Wishart their head man, says it is "now acceptable" to play games behind closed doors.
Nothing to do with "moaning fc" wanting games played even behind closed doors. All trade unions have an ethos of equality and acting in the best interests of ALL MEMBERS
perhaps Mr Wishart used look up the Trade Union guidelines.

Behind closed doors or not, they still need a pitch to play on. By starting to re-lay (seed) their tattie field recently, they've thrown the towel in completely and clearly have no intention of seeing out the remaining fixtures, if possible.

Agree0 Disagree0

{Ed001's Note - it only takes a few days for grass to grow for heaven's sake. Grass grows really quick. Football is months away from returning, that is just nonsense to suggest that reseeding a pitch is anything other than reseeding a pitch. You lot are embarrassingly desperate to be given a trophy you haven't won. I thought some of the Liverpool fans are bad but you lot are just shameless!}

17 Apr 2020 15:55:03
It's TRIFC fans that are shameless conspiracy theories and boycotts the top flight wasn't voted to end it was the other leagues championship below we will wait for uefa to make a decision before calling it we all want to play the remaining games TRIFC just want null and void coz THEY can't take the pain of the 9 being reality THEY scream tainted what about the EBT years titles are they not tainted get a grip and just admit that we are simply the best πŸ˜πŸ‘πŸ‘Š Here we go 10 in a row πŸ†πŸ†πŸ†πŸ†πŸ†πŸ†πŸ†πŸ†πŸ†. πŸ†.

I don't see your ed1 making commements on the ludicrous stuff coming from that mob, quite happy to have a go here, we all want to see league ended with games played, why would we not, as for Liverpool they more than deserve the league.

Agree0 Disagree0

{Ed001's Note - so what if you don't see it? They are not claiming a title are they? Liverpool do not yet deserve the title - they deserve it when they win it, same as Celtic, Juve etc. It is disturbing how anyone can even be bothered to give a toss and have that little empathy for what is happening. The leagues should either be completed or null and void. You don't win a race if you don't finish it.}

17 Apr 2020 18:41:10
They are too busy indulging in ludicrous theories of being victimised to be doing anything else, they knew the league was over, then along came coronavirus as a savior too them, because the thought of 9 again eats them up, giving the cover of concern for other clubs, as I say eveyone wants it finished properly, why wouldn't we, but if not it has to be called as is, null and void is not an option, at the end of the uefa will decide one way or another. As for independent enquiery into scottish football, good luck with that we have wanted one for years. rant over.

Agree0 Disagree0

17 Apr 2020 19:18:32
Ed, I think you have misread me. I never said I wanted handdd the title. I want the games finished, like most Celtic fans. My post was referring to how Rangers don't seem too bothered about potentially finishing the fixture list as theuve stated work on their new pitch. I'll bow to your superior gardening knowledge, but to suggest it's going to be months before we can resume is just your opinion. The Germans are gearing up to resume their league in the next few weeks, who is to say we can't do that too? No one knows for sure and that's why the ballot has left room for the league to be finished if possible, if not then it ends as they stand now. You've got a crystal ball though I take it?

Agree0 Disagree0

{Ed001's Note - I trained as a groundsman, it doesn't take months to lay a new pitch. Teams in the Prem often do it when there is a break if their pitch has been a problem.

As for my opinion, it is an opinion based on knowledge of the situation. The Germans are hardly gearing up to resume, they are training in well-spaced pairs. But not sure how that is relevant anyway as Germany has had nothing like the issue with Covid-19 that the UK has.

Right now there is pretty much an acceptance within football that there will be no games before July. They are just hoping there will be. Remember that even if footie were to resume, players would need at least a couple of weeks to get back up to speed fitness-wise, probably more like a month, before games could start again.}

17 Apr 2020 20:30:04
If the powers that be say Celtic and Liverpool are champions then they're champions it's not there fault both would have finished the job anyway we all know it.

Agree0 Disagree0

{Ed001's Note - more than likely they would but that is not reason to give it them. Lots of things have happened beyond a club's control that has stopped them in their tracks. There is Superga, Munich Disaster and Chapocoense that have lost great teams to plane crashes, for example. Like any race, it is not over until someone actually gets over the line and anything could happen, even though 999 times out of 1000 nothing does - we have seen this year that there is always a possibility that something does happen.}

17 Apr 2020 21:49:01
To right col we don't need to make up stories of corruption we lived through it and came out the other side these gullibillies will try hang on to any tiny sliver of hope of us not making the 9 then 10 and null and void is not an option it would bankrupt probably 2/ 3 of all football clubs.

Agree2 Disagree0

17 Apr 2020 23:00:07
Ed - Rangers may not be screaming for a title but I don't see any of them saying that they should not be given second either if the standings are to finish where they are. Will rangers be saying "what about Motherwell, what about Aberdeen they could finish second - no is the answer. So what's the difference Ed in Rangers demanding second place?

You are an Ed so you should have more about you than to write "You lot are embarrassingly desperate to be given a trophy you haven't won". Such generalisations from an Ed are beneath the position you hold. I know MANY Celtic supporters that think an unfinished league is just that and would not accept it in the same light as the other 8.

Having said that I agree on the pitch part.

Agree0 Disagree0

{Ed001's Note - are you for real? Is this a wind up? You can't really be serious? Why would Rangers make any comment about that when they are saying the season should be finished or null and void? This is getting more and more pathetic by the post.}

18 Apr 2020 03:26:36
Ed001. Point in fact if a formula 1 race cannot be finished for whatever reason after a certain point in the race the winner is determined by who is winning at the point it was declared. Precedent.}

Agree0 Disagree0

{Ed001's Note - do the SPFL rules have that in there? No. So you haven't reached the point you win it yet. Precedent is nothing to do with it. More embarrassment.}

18 Apr 2020 11:20:09
Ed we want to win it on the pitch I we get awarded it that's not our fault it will not be null and void no league will it will bankrupt too many rangers fans would rather let every club in Scotland fail than admit they are not and were not ever going to win the title anyway we will be champions 1 way or another and the sooner the hordes realise it and come to terms they will die again next year when we win the ten the better.

Agree0 Disagree0

17 Apr 2020 11:23:57
It would appear that if we are unable to complete the season, Celtic are willing to refund money to season ticket holders for games not played.
Also if reconstruction talks are successful, Celtic FC stand to LOSE significant prize money, if say a 14 team league is voted in, the Celtic Board appear to be willing to take this "financial hit" for the overall good of Scottish Football.
Compare and contrast Celtic's stance with "moaning fc" who say that NO REFUNDS will be given, and it is looking likely that Sevco would vote AGAINST reconstruction to 14 teams, despite all their statements, BECAUSE it would mean their slice of the prize money would be REDUCED.

Believable2 Unbelievable0

17 Apr 2020 12:50:41
I would love to see a restructure but the new sky deal is pretty set on 4 old firm games so can't see it happening but I would like to see an 18 team league and I would look into selling our own rights to matches coz since the dawn of time Scottish football has been getting well ripped off I can't watch epl it's terrible all that money and players and trash football we just need to branch out and sell what we all know is good football don't believe a word the English press says about our game πŸ‘ŒπŸ‘.

Agree0 Disagree0

{Ed007's Note - I say this every time it's brought up but if the TV deal demands 4 derbies then that's tantamount to matchfixing - although it's highly unlikely unless we bring in FFP, what would happen if either Celtic or TRIFC weren't in the Top 6 at the split?}

17 Apr 2020 13:11:07
Good point that ed never thought about it like that what are your thoughts on league restructure?

Agree1 Disagree0

{Ed007's Note - Playing each other 4 times is repetitive and boring and I'd like to see us come up with a plan - say over 5 years - where we eventually have enough teams in the league to only play each other twice. I'd scrap the split which is pointless imo immediately.}

@Celtic_Frank I presume you are talking about the EPL, Italy, Spain, Germany and France.
It looks when tings return to a bit of normality, all these leagues could be under a lot of financial pressure because all the television companies will probably reduce sponsorship money which even the Man City's, Chelsea's etc depend on so there could be a lot of cost cutting going on.
As Celtic are not that dependent on tv money (domestically) different for CL money. Our Board have run the club prudently and built up other revenues for our club, merchandising, sponsorship, other commercial ventures like the hotel project, so Celtic should be able to continue in the same manner without too much adjustment.

No no mally according to the sespit it all Celtic fault.
The problem is the media depending on which colour you look through. They constantly twist things to make a story.
The Celtic board do Celtic fans and themselves no favour by always letting things slide. Bringing these lies to task would be a gd start.
My next gripe is rangers board saying they have evidence of corruption still makes me laugh when I hear that saying from them.
Why don't Celtic and all other teams stop what they are doing and tell rangers to prove this and show it, why are they waiting. Now let's say they are telling there usual lies just to show there fans they have an input, why don't all the other teams take rangers to task now and demand to know what it is cos it affects the whole league. Maybe rangers need to be taken to task now if they don't produce evidence.
This is why I think they where raging that no other managers listen to them and no team looks up to them any more or even respects them. So teams saying nothing is the league's way of saying
(Oh just shut up rangers tut tut)
Maybe rangers fans should push or rangers minded media pals should put the story out as they are constantly building rangers up so let's wait and see. I won't hold my breath as there is nothing there,
so come on rangers fans it's time to demand and find out what was said, its your season tickets that's keeping things ticking over and they are due now. Your always spouting everybody hates us poor me etc.
Don't bohycot πŸ˜› games go and get answers from your current board and your old board starting from David Murray. Who started all this in motion by wanting OUT
