With the Nimmo smith tribunal supposedly sitting a week on Wednesday, I'd like the stripped titles rightfully handed to the runners up. Otherwise the old dead historical rangers will have achieved their aim of depriving honest teams of winning those titles.
Stripping the titles isn't punishment, its just setting the record straight. There has to be punishment for wrongdoing. Since Green accepted his new Rangers club would accept punishments in order to get an SFA license to play association football ( no legal implied link to the old dead club) then Rangers club should be punished as well as titles stripped from the dead club's record.
It would be appropriate to hear some public apologies also.

Mate, stripping of titles would be enough. F*ck they're tarnished, tainted titles. Let those years sit in the history books and AND VOID. So a hundred years from now when someone looks and see's it they will dig and see what a bunch of cheating bast*rds they are. Not that a hundred years from now our children and grandchildren won't still be reminding the c*nts.

Let me just warn you now though, I would not be in the slightest bit suprised if they got off scot free with this. You know the society we live in, you all have seen first hand the help they get. The media are back to being frightened to say anything against them after a few bouts of bravery before the real Rangers rode the white horse into oblivion. They will pay through the nose for decent lawyers and some loophole will be invented. I would hold back on the stripping of titles party until the verdict is made.

They are not tarnished titles. celtic did everything by the book and if they are stripped of course they should be awarded to the real champions. can't you just see the cheaters seeing what you said as a victory ? it would take about 2 minutes before they started laughing and saying, well at least they didn't get them. wake up.

If you can't win them on the park you don't deserve them. The Rangers players won they titles farely, they didn't cheat. Receiveing an EBT didn't make them better players. Celtic weren't good enough. End of!!

@3. you obviously don't understand any rules at all. the players weren't properly registered and shouldn't have been on the field. but we can see how worried you are about celtic having their rightful titles returned from the defunct club.
take the titles, their ours.

@3 You can't even spell FAIRLY correctly, never mind win anything FAIRLY, I for one don't want the title's, IF and I repeat IF they are taken off your dead team, I want it on record that your dead team lost them because your dead team were cheating Bstard's

Hey Ed, how's it going? Not been on the page for ages but back again today.

So, I'm just curious here bhoys and ghirls, the general consensus amongst us all in the summer was that we needed a keeper, a cb and a striker.

What does everyone think now?

I'm curious as I've heard differing opinions on this, with no real general opinion amongst the support.

Personally, I would primarily like a fast, Left sided play that can play full back/wing back/wide midfielder. We need cover and pace on that side as I feel only Forrest has that burst of pace needed to stretch teams in the wide areas.

Opinions?

Good to be back!

I read a few days ago Rory McIlroy had picked up €130m sponsorship deal and found that quite incredible. Does he support Celtic? {Ed007's Note - Manchester United.}

As a junior, Rogic played for Tuggeranong United FC. As a 16-year-old, Rogic moved to his first senior club, playing two seasons with the ANU FC in the ACT Premier League where he won the Coach's Award in 2010 as a 17-year-old. In 2011, Rogic turned 18 and moved clubs to play one season with Belconnen United in the ACT Premier League. He was also selected to join the Nike Football Academy after winning The Chance, a competition which he won therefore officially declaring him as one of the best eight young footballers in the world.
Best young players in the world

as for the juve tickets being sold out I am afrid that is show business season book holders should be rewarded for money upfront and I think Lawell has made apush to increse book slales next year with the lure of special access to big match tickets but forgets that the fans who can not afford season books took up the many unsold 3 game match package

This season is going too be great for celtic, In with Europes elite top16...Top the league&in both league&scottish cups..The clammer for tickets for the juventus game is great too see, Those who missed out can turn up for the 3games in a week v hearts, then dundee united on the tuesday& st mirren on the sat..This is not the end, This is the begining said lennon&it has been a great journey since then, I hope it continues..The thunder is back!!......They thought they had him on his knees...They thought they had him broken....They thought he was leaving paradise, with snidey remarks being spoken....They never reckoned this man from lurgan would have the spirit too keep on goin....& after bombs& bullets& attacks he has remained UNBOWED& UNBROKEN!!!Stevo...Hail Hail..

Great post mate,,, algarvebhoy

Hail Hail Stevo, I have nothing but respect for Neil Francis Lennon, for all the crap he has had to put up with in Scotland, the assaults as well as the incidents you make reference too. Yet he's still here and doing a magnificent job.....lets not forget for all the wonderful scouting John Park has done......Gary Hooper was Lennon's signing...he seen him play for Scunthorpe and he wanted him. Gob bless Lenny......Hope he stays at Paradise for years to come.

DazzaBhoy

No other manager, player has had too endure what he has put up with..Having to give up his international career because off death threats then all the $hit he has experienced whilst being manager at celtic, Could you imagine a rangers manager having to put up with that, There would be calls of bringing back the death penalty!!Parks been amazing for celtic, hope he is on a good contract..stevo

For all moaners RE juventus tickets, if you didn't get one, don't worry, there are plenty other celtic matches to attend this season..........

Where are you all week in week out?
Dont give me the same old excuses,


Celtic are for life not just for europe!


Spicebhoy

Spicebhoy, i won't be there, no ticket . i have however been in celtic park this season 3 times when the crowd was less than 15,000 and the entire upper tier was empty, where were the 40,000 season ticket holders on those nights . celtic are for life but apparently not crappy first round league and scottish cup ties .. shammy

Good post m8, too many armchair& internet fans these days& then moan about not getting a ticket for the biggest show in town!stevo

Arm chair fans ?? so what category does season ticket holders mates fall into ?? how many games did they go to

3} a lot of those tickets will be sold for profit. i see people saying they are already on gumtree. i would have given celtic £100 for one . but i will not line the pockets of these opertunists . so it's ian crocker and davie provan for me . if that's ok with spicebhoy and stevo .. shammy

I've no ticket for the Juve game and I'm not upset about as we knew the script regarding how they were being sold! Cut to the chase.... Your spot on Shammy

Bigbadjohn

Spiceboy and stevo, you know you're wrong, supported celtic for 50 years . I should, at least get a chance of a ticket . and the way celtic did it was wrong ..shammy

@1 Shammy have I picked you up right you have only been to Celtic Park 3 time's this year ?.
Tambhoy {Ed007's Note - He has been in it three times when the crowd has been low I think he means......

Well shammy use the 49 and attend a cpl of league matches. There is the odd exception mate but the majority of people moaning wouldn't go to a game in league if ye gave them a tkt. As for my mate that I got a ticket for... He goes every week with tkts bought by himself or loaned to him. He tried to buy a half season tkt but there are none this year. In previous years he attended matches by halving tkts with mates. As I said there are exceptions but some folk need to remember there are league and cup games too. Not just Europe. (Sorry bout spelling my tablets keypad is broken)
Spice bhoy

Tambhoy. 3 cup ties, 3 european, 5 league + tickets for hearts game and 2 friendlies .. that is all the games i've been able to attend because I work shifts, and the reason I don't have a season book. so a bit less than half, but that doesn't mean I love celtic any less than anbody else

just got phonecall . wasting time and money . tickets all sold out in the first hour .. shammy

Bad decision by cfc letting holders take 6 tickets, wot about those who went through same scenario for the home package, just shunned, anybody agree or is it just sour grapes from me. danny

I would wait to how many of those tickets get flogged to the highest bidder before kick of any one caught they should be stripped of their season ticket and banned for life

17 Jan 2013 09:53:16
see mcoist looking to be "fast tracked " back up the league . Why ? make your minds up... enjoying the journey, won't go back to spl, want to go to england .. when you google contradiction it comes up The rangers...col

This was all they were looking for from moan one. Classic case of deflection.Bitch and moan about nothing then ask for what you really want, get it, and seem like a reasonable club.They are not. Since administration they have caused nothing but trouble with green and mccoists endless ramblings..........green jhedi

Confusion reigns at Ibrox.
They behave like a Jabba confused mixed messaging gutter press article.

I cannot understand why some people are calling for or considering a 14 team top league. Dundee was the best team in division one and got promoted into SPL and have had a very poor showing this season. Another two teams from (worse than Dundee) div1 entering the top tier isn't going to improve it at all, just introduce meaningless games. I hope this idea doesn't get serious consideration to placate bottom teams in SPL who fear relegation.

Sorry but you are wrong with saying Dundee was the best team . It was actually Ross County that won the league . Dundee got promoted because a certain team went into liquidation and lost there place in the SPL.

TamBhoy74

That's correct but its still putting two more dire teams into SPL.

I don't think Dundee are dire, out of their depth a bit but they work hard and certainly go for it. Their back four is certainly not good and they lack penetration. The point is that when they go down they will not be able to get better where as if the league was bigger and they got a few more years in the league then they could improve.

I would go back to a ten team spl and get shot of the break think about it thou 4 games a season might sound much but only 2 is at home as part of your season ticket would you rather swap the top teams for games against teams that can't compete in the 1st division ?? an example first game of the season hearts at home and then you won't get to play them at home for the rest of the season
