Hi ed. It's great to be popular. Some little Billy copied my post about the flags and paste it on their site. I hear Fat Ally getting a union jack tattooed on his ass so he can sell pictures of it to raise money for the club. Hay like come on there's a union jack on it why wouldn't it not sell. ;) bigirishmac

ED007, on the subject of Rangers selling flags at Ibrox on Sunday, I heard that you need a licence to sell goods, this licence must be applied for 8 weeks prior to day of selling, also there is an exclusion zone around the ground, on the grounds of safety. Glasgow City council also frown upon selling anything outside or inside near turnstiles, because of crowd safety, surely this could cause crushing, this could be a safety hazard
I am surprised the safety officer has not raised these issues. Timalloy {Ed007's Note - You might be right Tim, I have no idea.}

I`m sure you will notify the correct people Timalloy.

Pathetic as always Timalloy. Is the main reason for this post your fear for fan safety, or your deep rooted hatred and bigoted views towards Rangers?

Alot of people getting upset at a british club selling british flags to british people at a stadium in britain where two british clubs will be playing in front of british people ...why? Jmgers

I'm not upset jmgers...sell away ~ Mrs E

Thanks for that mrs e can you help me out here im trying hard to work out why some people are angry over this when they are probably british aswell jmgers

Is it not the case they will sell them from the turnstiles? b****cks who cares anyway bored now. really why bother, cup final lost - league and cup still on, thats the main thing stuff that lot and their problems, i would love to see some of the wingers and the Ibrahim guy get used from bench in league from now on in give teams more to worry about
davybhoy ktf

Oh jmgers..you would have to ask them that wouldn't you. I see myself as Scottish and Scotland is part of the UK. I'm not too bothered by the whole how-to-do around it all.

I follow the Scotland national team as well, do you ? Mrs E

Davyboy are you british like me if so can you help me out i cant understand the anger about the flags being sold ps i took the liberty of taking the h out of the word boy its not in the british dictionary spelled that way jm {Ed007's Note - I took the 'gers' off of your name as it is not in the English dictionary either. Stop being so pedantic, nobody is taking the bait at your pathetic attempt to start a political argument over this. Give it a rest or you will be removed.}

Ed you seem ok about celtic fans having a problem with the flags but when i ask why you get all worked up maybe your in rhe wrong game wee man settle jaggy nettle jmgers {Ed007's Note - If you need to ask that question then you really shouldn't follow Rangers, you obviously have no clue about your own club's history or the rivalry between the clubs. Ask a real Rangers supporter why, it might be the enlightenment you need to drag yourself out of complete immaturity. Stop acting like a total knob or I will ban you, OK?}

I know i should'nt respond but he asked , i don't have a problem with them waving union flags , they can wave whatever they want , the reason i would'nt wave one is simple i'm scottish, i want scottish independence and will vote that way in the referendum, i have no desire whatsoever to wave the flags of england or northern ireland both of which are incorporated on the union flag, and if you think about that , why are'nt the welsh represented {a wee bit racist me thinks} anti welsh . what should we wave on sunday ? just one flag , how about copies of the league flag , now that would hurt them .. billybhoy

Totally agree with billybhoy well said mate davie c

Well done to Kilmarnock. Hope they
come out all guns blazing against
Motherwell. But will they???

I reckon Motherwell will win as Killie will be 'hung-over' after such a high - apart from the sad post-match bereavement.
I think it's in 'the best interest of the SPL' as the media would say to see Motherwell win followed by a draw at Ibrox so wait and see.

I have never understood this rule in football.

A player gets sent off in a league match and automatically misses the next game.

This hands an advantage to the next team as the dismissed player maybe the clubs star man.

Surely the suspension should be imposed when the origional 2 teams meet again.

"When was the last time Celtic won a competitive match full stop !?
The Real KB {Ed007's Note - Hoi you!! Less of your cheek,}"
Not like you Real KB, getting involved in this sort of 'banter' mate, lol. Don't listen to Ed mate you tell 'em!!
Ed was trying wind us LFC lads up mate, I think they want to have a bit of banter with the fans of the most succesful club in England mate, they'll never win ;-).

Smithy

Same could be said of rangers

Have Kilmarnock qualified for Europe now ed ?
;-)

"would rather watch 2 massive clubs compete against each other.
Miko x"
No offense mate, but Chelsea are far from a massive club. They are a small club they just have a rich owner. I think Ed 001 believed the Norwich vs United game would be more entertaining with a higher quality of football. Not sure it has anything to do with Scotland Ed.
JFT96
Smithy {Ed007's Note - Ed001 and Miko are having a 'discussion' on the Rangers site about CFC moving to England Smithy. Got to agree with you about Chelsea as well, it is a myth they are a massive club because of their money.}

They're massive in terms of their standing in the Premiership, their financial status, the players they have, etc.....take it in the context it was meant to be!

Sorry lads, Mr Angry tonight, lol

Miko {Ed007's Note - It's not like you Miko :-)

So true Ed!

"{Ed007's Note - LFC supporters have a cheek to slag anyone's style of football. It's hard to tell the difference between them and Stoke ;-)"
We play pass and move Ed, with the ocassional punt to Carroll if we are being pressed up the pitch. Celtic and Rangers haven't got players of a high enough standard to play like we do. I hope we play Celtic in a proper game mate, after it I think this comment is going to get another airing ;-) It will be like watching Bilbao cut through United all over again mate.
Like Stoke ffs!

Smithy {Ed007's Note - I thought you or RKB would have 'liked' that comparison Smithy lol ;-)

The arrogance is astounding! Best league in the world my *rse! When was the last time Liverpool beat Celtic in a competitive match?

Hey ed,
I used to want to join the mile high club, now I don't give a flying f*** !
Eh eh ?
The Real KB {Ed007's Note - Flying solo doesn't count RKB.}

Hey Miko la,
When was the last time Celtic won a competitive match full stop !?
The Real KB {Ed007's Note - Hoi you!!! Less of your cheek,}

If rangers fans are bringing unionjacks why dont celtic fans bring only scots flags,then we can be the people for a day,confuse the hell out of them,garlar07 {Ed001's Note - now that is a fantastic idea.}

Thanks ed,maybe celtic could sell them and give money to heart charity in light of the case,s this week just a thought garlar07 {Ed001's Note - that is a good idea too, bit of good publicity for the charity too.}

Davo88 is absolutely right. Angery and let down by an arrogant, complacent, over paid shower of chancers. Tactics were crap and commitment none existent. So some posters on here think is good enough just to get to a final...no ambition or concept of winning is all about. they've learned nothing from Inverness last year nor has the Club going back to Motherwell and wee McDonald showing us up.

If you are a fan which i doubt then you must have been one of the ones who slaughtered nl earlier in the season and have had to wait until now to spew your bile again ,the tactics never made hooper miss a sitter cammy bell make save after save they also never made ledley wanyama and others have poor games , if you dont like lennon be a man and say it , but tommy burns won 1 trophy martin oneill lost as many as he won and their tenure at the club gets them treated almost as saints ,lennon is taking us in the right direction but we cant win every game no matter how much we would like to , i also think the intensity and effort to fight our way to the top of the league finnally took its toll on sunday as usually reliable players looked jaded , so i think this is the shot in the arm to refocus and regroup and get back on track

Well said!

Miko x

I cant believe some of the things I'm reading and hearing today we lost a cup final and like everyone else I'm gutted but to be having a go at NL or the players is mental, these are the same people who have up until Saturday morning given the belief back to all Celtic fans. I for 1 still believe this could be one of our greatest teams if we keep them together for a couple of years. Sure it was an off day for the players but on other days we would have won with that performance ie MoM Cammy Bell. Get off their backs and lets get ready for the biggest party we've had in years.

Hi Ed

disappointed at yesterdays result but as has been said already said the result matters not a jot after the grief which was bestowed upon the young boy Kelly's family at the end of the match. R.I.P Mr Kelly may all the angels and the saints watch over him.
With regards the upcoming match on Sunday I was thinking perhaps Neil should think about playing a curve ball. We have a lot of fairly decent players at our club, young guys like ibrahim and the like.... why not throw them at the shame? Sure in years gone by when they had Quality players it would be fool hardy but with respect they ain't the same animal. A different slant on the team with a few new faces might just give the squad a bit of impetus and drive for the rest of the season. Just touching on yesterday, I'm not going to sit and slag off Neil because what he's done for us this season alone has brought back a bit of pride but.... late substitutions when we are chasing a game in its dying embers doesn't seem to me as the best option, the players no matter how good they are need time to get up to the pace of the game. Its only an observation though.

What's your thoughts mate?

HH
pfb79 {Ed007's Note - The first thing NL needs to do is make sure that the starting XI next week are up for the job at hand, there can be no passengers as it will be a tough game no matter what people say about the Rangers team, in derby matches you can't take anything for granted. Throwing Ibrahim in would probably throw Rangers youngsters off a bit, he has plenty of confidence in his own ability and would have the surprise element (remember Lubo??), but I think NL will go with experience first. As for yesterday I would have took Forrest off at HT, it was obvious it wasn't going to be his day, and replaced him with Samaras. I am not convinced with Hooper's fitness either, he has looked jaded the last few games but if he had scored with his early chance it would have been a different game altogether. The penalty decision was 50/50 IMO, you see them given and you see them waved away, but the sad part was we NEEDED a penalty to get back in the game at all. Give Kilmarnock their due, they played well but CFC were very, very poor. The longer the game went on the more I was expecting the sucker punch to come. Kilmarnock have proven this season that they are capable of getting results against CFC and Rangers by playing decent football, maybe other teams in our league should look at them and hopefully learn something. It might help the standard of football to rise a bit if other teams played with that approach.}

ED007 I am of an age where I remember our "Quality Street Kids" and I remember big Jock playing these youngsters in a Glasgow Cup Final at Hampden, Rangers played their first team but our kids with the like of George Connelly, Tommy Burns, Macari and Dalgleish (if memory serves me right) were 3-0 inside 30 minutes and outplayed all their big name Rangers counterparts. But I agree Lennon will field experienced players, but heard that Forrest and Hooper are carrying injuries, it may be no bad thing if they miss game as both look jaded recently. hail hail Timalloy {Ed007's Note - Hooper has definitely looked off the pace the last few games Tim, and Forrest took that bad knock yesterday.}

ED007, just to correct my post, before our knowledgeable bhoys do, Tommy Burns was NOT part of big Jock's Quality Street Kids but Danny McGrain and Davie Hay were. Here is a wee story that Lou Macari tells....
In those days players were paid poorly even Lisbon Lions and Big Jock himself, anyway, Celtic were drawn in same league cup section as Rangers but needed to beat Partick Thistle by 8 clear goals to knock out Rangers, Jock offered team £20 each out of his own pocket if they qualified. Macari and Dalglish needed the money and inspired rest of team to a 12-1 victory and big Jock happily paid out the bonus. Timalloy

Afternoon ED007. First I hope Liam Kelly can dedicate his winners medal in memory of his father. RIP Mr Kelly
Well done Kilmarnock, you did what we never did, put the ball in the net.
I am one of Lennon's biggest supporters but I think he let himself down going on about the penalty, we had plenty of chances to win game before then and failed to take them. Let's all move on, secure the league
and then win Scottish Cup.
Hail hail Timalloy

Ye I saw it too ! Didn't regard it as bullying , all done very politely ! Although the green brigade seems to think they have a free pass at Celtic games. I find them on the whole an embarrassment ! Too bigoted for me. We have enough of that from the dar side. We are above bigotry.

I went to the pre-season tournament in dublin and had my one and only direct contact with the green brigade in the players lounge {stokes bar} was there for about 4 hours with them , they were all polite ,funny, decent guys , it was a fabulous day , if they cut the i.r.a. stuff they are the best supporters celtic have , be honest , without them the atmosphere at most games would be flat ,so without the political s**t hail hail the green brigade , billybhoy

Read Alan Nixons piece in the
Sunday people regarding Celtic
moving to the lower leagues down
south. Would not take us too long
to move to the next level. Wouldnt
it be great to leave the SPL and
the anti celtic propaganda that
exists in Scotland.

Aye the english people will look forward to your fans spouting aw the ira drivell at their grounds , wake up ffs , tedbear

Tedbear, Yes there are some songs sung by a small section of the Celtic fans i find embarrasing. But really you should be quiet after the last 4 Rangers games where the majority of fans have went back 30 years. People in glass houses.............

Joeshmo1888

Your right they wont want that , but they definitely won't want the behaviour your lot displayed in manchester , whats worse ?? billybhoy

Could you just remind me who was it that
created havoc in Manchester. Do you want a clue?

And your behaviour at Lincoln and the chants at the Emirates! People in glass houses right enough! PB

hi i do have a drink but i watched the game 100% sober i was not at the match but watched on tv,the one thing i noticed was the team looked as if they were not happy,on edge and then i put that down to nerves,after the kick off we could not string the passes together and seem to loose our way, When you look at the run we went on and you look at the team today you say where did it go wrong. i know there keeper had an exceptional game,but we lacked something. i think we find it hard when it comes to finals we look as if we are not up for the game and that showed throughout the team today. We had 90 mins to do something but did not (again down to there keeper) the penalty was always going to be a dodgy . so lads we need to take this one and deal with it and ask neil lennon to deal with it and let him know the team must be free to express themselves even though it is a final and no one wants to loose.The team has showed if let loose with no fear they can beat anyone the pressure showed today and it made them all look bad. sorry about the waf but we are better than than this ......b

First off thoughts and prayers are with the Kelly family .

agree with the original post
it is one we take on chin and let Neil Lennon sort it out.fair play to killie and congrats to them on winning. Hooper need a wee spell on the bench he looks out of sorts and not just yesterday but the last three games he has lacked his sharpness.there keeper had a blinder and yes it was a penalty but we never got it so lets get on with it.Ki and sammie need to start more games as they give us more going forward.however lets not forget what this team has done since november 1 domestic lost and the defeat will spur them on to get that winning feeling back again and no better place to start that than at ibrokes.ok we lost a cup yesterday Dignity fc goons on here are on the verge of losing a club

Maby its got something to do with your manager standing on the touchline with his face tripping him and bawling and shouting at his players , celtic never played well and the longer the game went on you could see the panic in their play , that was down to a kilmarnock side keeping the ball and passing it well , as soon as celtic thaught we are in for a right game here and not getting it their own way their bottles started to crash and with the horrible wee geezer goin nuts on the touchline you just knew youd bottle it once again , his quote after the game that all he ever asked as a player and manager is that the officials get the big calls right. , no neil what you mean is get the big calls right for your team , rangers score a goal at celtic park. , the ball. 6 inches over the line but dont get it , hearts do the same and dont get it , but not a mention after the game about the ref getting a a couple of big calls wrong , one things certain , youv got the right manager at your club , one that will always. shout never defeated but always cheated , its what your clubs about , thanks for the laugh anyway , tedbear

I totally agree about the nerves thing. It's not the first time we have started a 'big game' with shakes and mistakes and I know we are a young team lacking an 'old heid' here and there, but you would expect us to have gained in confidence and experience after such a good run? But we did the same last season in the League Cup final and if I am totally honest it's a good thing we have a huge lead in the SPL. Last years Sc Cup final was similar and if you remember Motherwell were even worse.
Is it the expectation or the big occasion?
Hopefully NL and the team will deal with this and learn it takes heart and attitude as well as skill to succeed year in, year out at Celtic. Disappointed for NL as a treble would have been a fantastic achievement after what he went through.
Anyway I was at Hamden in '71 when The Jags beat us 4-1 - still believing with 5 minutes to go we would still win lol!
The league cup has bitten us on the erchie a good few times when we had stronger teams and 'lesser' opponents and it's a Celtic tradition to be charitable!

Jungle Jim

Tedbear goon

how's your team doing then?
now thats something WE are laughing at everyday.maybe willie colum never gave the penalty as he was looking straight at it and as we all know he only gives a penalty with the back of head.

Tedbear, i can almost hear the venom against our manager with your words. Can i ask why you hate him so much? Standing shouting at his team, isnt that what your meant to do? Horrible wee geezer? Please explain.
His qoutes after the Hearts game was "looks like we got away with one their". So there was a mention after the game. I really find the hatred directed towards Neil Lennon quite disturbing.
