Hi ED 007 and Everyone great podcast loving your work. Is everyone in agreement over new manager must b in a job and the delay of announcement being so coming so we could rule out anyone out of work getting to job Like MON saying that the board have missed a trick in not thinking about Keane he can be ruled out too?

{Ed007's Note - Cheers, Rich.}

22 Mar 2021 08:57:43
I think our goalkeeping crisis could be saved by Cork Paul, along as he gets a Cigarette at half time🤣🤣. I loved that bit of the podcast. Good content boys.

22 Mar 2021 00:15:12
Ed I tuned In and it was brilliant to listen too, the only gripe was. I think you microphone was down too low I could hear everyone but you. But it might just be my hearing lol,

{Ed007's Note - Thanks Marco 👍 Yeah I know about the mic mate.}

21 Mar 2021 20:49:37
Well done today ed and paul, thought it went well👍 great to put a voice to the names.
Think kev83 will be good to have on with you one week 👌.

{Ed007's Note - Thanks mate 👍 I'd love to get Kev on and had planned for him to be involved but sadly it ain't going to happen - I don't want to go into why as it's not my place, Will but it's he'll be a big miss on there.}

21 Mar 2021 21:08:01
Sorry to hear that ed, he's one of my favourite posters and mostly speaks sense but no always😂😂
I'm not wanting him getting big headed.

{Ed007's Note - Yeah definitely mate, I have a lot of time for Kev and he can't half argue his corner.}

21 Mar 2021 21:17:41
That's the best thing about him, he's no afraid to have a different opinion and he'll argue his corner.

{Ed007's Note - 👍

21 Mar 2021 21:54:35
I've just found podcast and been listening to bits at a time. Its a great idea and refreshing to listen to fellow celtic supporters opinions in this format.

21 Mar 2021 19:22:36
I noticed that the Celtic and Rangers players did not take the knee. Does this make them all racists Ed?

{Ed007's Note - I wouldn't think so no but I don't know any of them that well, some of them may well be.}

21 Mar 2021 20:12:47
The reason I ask is you told me that if people do not support the black lives matter by taking the knee, then you were racist as it was a black and white issue (no pun intended) .

{Ed007's Note - No I didn't, I said if you're against anti-racism you're on the side of the racists, you're just trying to play with words. There was some kind of show today, I actually thought they were going to have a minute's silence.}

21 Mar 2021 21:23:43
They were doing a stand, a stand against racism.

21 Mar 2021 21:30:03
A person does not need to take the knee to prove they are not a racist.

Their everyday conduct being humane, respectful and dignified is worth a lot more than taking knee for a few seconds.

Reason a lot of clubs have stopped taking knee, is the controviseys BLM movement has been involved in and players such as Wilfred Zaha have publicly distanced themselves from BLM knee because of this.

21 Mar 2021 21:35:38
Basically they done the exact same thing that the rugby teams done. What is the difference?

As I pointed out at the time the rugby teams (by the way I do not have any interest in egg chasing) were not being anti-racist as the normal practise was to stand in solidarity against racism.

21 Mar 2021 22:29:27
I totally agree with what you said Phil and said similar myself at the time.

My original point on the topic was last month and it was how I disagreed with the way people are bullied by the media for not adhering to certain political statements.

22 Mar 2021 06:07:08
Is the political statement not based on the american government under trump?

{Ed001's Note - none of this is true and is just ignorance, this whole thread. Wilfried Zaha has not publicly distanced himself from BLM at all. That is a lie.

The players who have stopped taking a knee have not done so in response to BLM or any other outside, utterly unrelated movement. They have done so because they feel that taking a knee has run its course and had become a token gesture, without any value in actually fighting against racism.

I don't know why ignorant people persist in wittering on about BLM, it is, and has never been, anything to do with taking a knee. Racists in the media and in politics keep trying to connect the two, but they are not connected.}

22 Mar 2021 08:32:30
@Ed001 - Could you point out what I said that was ignorant?

{Ed001's Note - bringing rugby into it. This is nothing to do with that at all.}

21 Mar 2021 18:12:05
Ed007 whenever it is possible, I think the few fans who can on here should make it their mission to get Cork Paul to a Celtic game, I couldn't believe it today when he said he hadn't been.

{Ed007's Note - Definitely mate 👍

21 Mar 2021 18:36:10
Thanks lads, I always said I would go. I used to go to Cork City matches with my Dad and when he died 10yrs ago I never really went to live games after that.

21 Mar 2021 19:21:56
I was thinking the same thing Paul, we need to get something sorted going forward.
During the day the match at Celtic Park and then at night an evening in Hamilton's very own Paradise - Doc's. 😆.

21 Mar 2021 19:32:31
Cheers lads il do a special edition fan cam.

21 Mar 2021 19:33:49
Pedro

We’ll get Paul down to Ireland’s 33rd county of Coatbridge after a game. He let it slip yesterday he’s never tasted Guinness either and he said the other week he’s never tasted Bovril. These issues need addressed he’ll be a new man!

21 Mar 2021 19:45:19
😅😅😅 you didn't forget Guinness and Bovril.

21 Mar 2021 19:55:31
Good shout JFP, I'd hope to get along for a bovril.

21 Mar 2021 21:01:20
Paul, when it’s possible I’ll be there with you. I hate bovril, manageable with a drop of Vodka in it, the pies are good and the guiness is good. If you get a chance you should look at the Hills of Donegal Celtic Supporters get together in Bundoran every year.
A friend of mine who was away for 30 years in Aus/ NZ came back for the first time 2 years ago, said it was some long weekend, non stop craic. I’ve been thinking it’s time I went.

{Ed007's Note - I'm sure my mate's band An Spiorad has played the Hills of Donegal festival, Mal. #VoddyBovrilCSC 👍😂

21 Mar 2021 21:29:11
Ed they play every year, everyday in one of the bars in Bundoran. You buy a bracelet about 40 pounds and it gets you into all the entertainment, lasts from Thursday to a hangover Monday Club.

{Ed007's Note - I'm good friend with the *ahem* singer and his family, I even gave away a few of their CDs on here years ago.}

21 Mar 2021 21:30:56
My wife's family have a wee place in Donegal and we cannot wait to get back over there.

'Casinos, chicken ranches, I'd legalise them all, we'll build our own Las Vegas in the hills of Donegal' - Goats Don't Shave.

{Ed007's Note - "Wee place in Donegal" and living up there in the snobby houses, you can't hide money eh? 😉😁

21 Mar 2021 21:42:04
I'll take a look at it Malika, cheers bud.

22 Mar 2021 00:05:24
Hahahahaha Ed, aye I wish.

{Ed007's Note - Aye, we know....... 😉😁

21 Mar 2021 18:00:33
After watching the game I thought laxalt had a great game and I thought Brown was solid in the middle, disappointing for me again was Christie and is it just me or does Eddy not annoy out of you - he is our star man and these are the games he needs to pull us to the next level and shine - This did not happen.

21 Mar 2021 21:47:42
I may be wrong but I get the feeling that Eddy is crossing the weeks off the calendar until he gets his move at the end of the season.

22 Mar 2021 02:05:51
I thought Eddy had a decent game. I just wish he would take an early shot more as he's guilty of overplaying it too often. He was doing the same a couple of seasons ago then improved on that last season but he's gone back to his old ways again. Maybe it's a confidence thing.

21 Mar 2021 17:26:39
Collum would have gave a penalty if it had happened at the other end of the pitch. Sevco have 5 red cards in 14 European games yet 0 red cards in about 40 league games at a guess. Buzz?

21 Mar 2021 17:45:00
I totally agree Pud if the boot was on the other foot scenario. I also think the yellow card should be contested.

21 Mar 2021 18:08:40
There is always controversy and plenty 'honest mistakes' with that wee rat-bag and that is why he gets so many of our big games.

21 Mar 2021 16:56:17
I take comfort knows they aren't any better than us. What we've done this season is self harm. A decent manger would have got a tune out if those players this season, and maybe just maybe installed a bit of realism and not made the C.V. mistakes that sunk our season.

Yes players will go, but I'd like to think that a manger has been identified as well as players.

From about 10 games into the season they've been able to play with no pressure and walk to the title.

We all know what happens when pressure is applied to them. Let's turn up the heat from the start next season.

21 Mar 2021 17:16:21
I find it even more frustrating that we have surrendered a title to a very average team, simply because, we were totally unprofessional and complacent with disruptive attitudes and poor priorities from day 1.
I know we had more than our fair share of CV issues compounded by a Government and Establishment that seemed to have it's own agenda; but the bottom line is we blew it without much of a fight. Shocking.

21 Mar 2021 18:27:27
Spot on onceabhoy.

21 Mar 2021 18:27:46
I’m a tad miffed that we couldn’t beat a team that was lacking energy and quality.

Sooner this season is over the better.

21 Mar 2021 16:44:28
Good evening ED, i listened to your podcast today and i thought the content was exellent, i actually didn't start listening tull about ten past 2, then spent about 15 minutes going **** me ED is irish as ****, then realused u were the other dude 🤣🤣🤣, a wee bit of constructive critism regarding the podcast, the sound quality was poor, the irish guy was really loud and u were very low a lot of the time, i do realise this was your 1st attempt but i just thought u would like a bit of feedback, but as i said the content was great which is the main thing, the delivery can be worded on, keep up the great work, COYBIG.

{Ed007's Note - Thanks mate 👍 Yeah somebody's e-mailed me to say that as well, hopefully it's just a tweak on the streaming software or maybe the volume on my headset.}

21 Mar 2021 16:09:29
Ed.007
I enjoyed your first ever Podcast and I think Paul from Cork will be a hard act to follow.
Your knowledge of Celtic will definitely make the site, a positive going forward.
I’m proud to be a Tim 🇮🇪.

{Ed007's Note - Thanks very much, BB, I'm glad you enjoyed it. Paul will be co-hosting things and we'll hopefully get another 1 at least on "the panel" to take calls.}

21 Mar 2021 16:59:48
Cheers Buzz . I really enjoyed it. Do ye me to put subtitles on next show.

21 Mar 2021 16:47:30
Sounds good Ed, really enjoyed it, you and Paul were great 👏👏👏👏.

{Ed007's Note - Thanks mate.}

21 Mar 2021 17:10:25
I enjoyed that, hats off to u lads I thought u both came across really well. I had no issues understanding either of u, no subtitles required. Couldn’t really get involved it’s my wedding anniversary today and the wife was at me to turn it off every 5 minutes.

{Ed007's Note - Thanks, Steph. I had to keep trying to remind myself to talk clearer etc and hopefully it gets better as we move forward. Have a great night and Happy Anniversary to you and the Mrs 🙏

21 Mar 2021 17:21:13
Cheers mate, 👍👍.

21 Mar 2021 14:22:37
P*** poor again. Yes, we should have had a penalty but in all honesty, we are woeful! Big clearout needed. IMHO. Bain, Laxalt, Christie, Brown, Moi, Rogic, Klimala, Barkas, Ajeti and Eddy are either coming to the end of their contracts and need to be sold/ Too old/ Punted back to their parent club.

21 Mar 2021 16:31:21
Said during the live-chat that the number of players I want to see next season in The Hoops, is becoming less and less.
It's absolutely shocking how we've slipped from a treble-treble, 9-in-a-row team to this in a few months and apart from Lawell and the management team who overseen this debacle, there are too many who have let the club, support and themselves down and should bolt.

21 Mar 2021 17:03:26
Going on the performance today and by reports of players wanting to see I think there might only be 3 players that started today that will be in the team next season.
I'm not talking about the players on loan but for me the only players I would keep is McGregor, Turnbull and Welsh.

21 Mar 2021 15:11:59
Surely now we need to make some noise around who we are going to bring in as manager?

21 Mar 2021 14:06:38
Kenny was terrible today not only the cause of the goal but his overall play was poor I think he was the man to mark Morelos and just stood still also Great that we only have him on loan atleast we can hand him back.

21 Mar 2021 14:44:15
It's his first 'bad' game. Some fans really are fickle.

21 Mar 2021 15:21:03
Tony2bhoy

Brown was marking Morelos. Agree with rest of comments Kenny very poor. The 50yrd pass back was horrendous.

21 Mar 2021 15:28:22
Blatant foul on him for the corner.

21 Mar 2021 15:37:45
He has looked decent and reliable, up until today; but we have lost so goal from set-pieces ALL season and for More-Or-less to score made it all the worse. We have outplayed them twice in succession with very little to show for it, because we can't finish them off.
The humiliation for us is that Sevco are not that great, but have been streets ahead of us in attitude, application and consistency. Plus they have something we have really lacked this campaign - a decent goalkeeper.

21 Mar 2021 15:51:48
Cory I really haven't seen anything in him in any of his games to say we should try and make it permanent I am not saying he is a bad player but I don't think he is that good and for what it would cost £5 million? To get him permanently I think we could get better IMO.

21 Mar 2021 16:38:33
Never seen Kenny having a good game for us. Not bad in a few but never owning it. Wouldn't buy him.
We have went from Lusting/ Tierney to Kenny/ Laxalt or Taylor say's it all really. Recruitment cost us 10.

21 Mar 2021 16:53:20
Laxalt had a really good game I thought gave them a really hard time on the left where as Kenny for me did nothing no threat at all and gave away the stupidest corner for their goal and was static when the ball came in for the goal not the only player to be fair that was static but still could have should have been better.

21 Mar 2021 13:57:55
Usual story this season unfortunately, not making the keeper work more is the usual story . We seem to be so more interested in possession stats than winning, lost count of the amount of times we had crossing positions then go back to half way, then back to Bain then start again.
They have 3/ 4 passes and they are in positions to hurt us.
Not sure what Bain finds funny when he Alamo’s gifts them a second as well. Was there even a tackle in there to let them know there was a game on .

21 Mar 2021 13:54:33
That was honestly a joke hope door smacks off him on way out played like was happy with the draw, subs baffling as usual, 1-1 and decides to bring leigh Griffiths on and soro a dm come on to hell a know we have sank low bit are we tht low that we r happy with draw at parafise.

21 Mar 2021 13:51:00
Absolutely fed up of wasteful Christie watching him is painful.

21 Mar 2021 11:30:54
The reb's have been blasting all morning now let's fire a few missiles by McGregor, COYBIG HH.

21 Mar 2021 12:40:38
Another set piece. When will we learn.

21 Mar 2021 10:56:12
Ed that's me just subscribed, hope you have great success, you've done a cracking job on here over the years buddy.

Let's get stuck into these baw bags hail hail.

{Ed007's Note - Cheers Barry, 👍

21 Mar 2021 10:37:10
Ed I was trying to subscribe to you tube and download Skpe but hadn't a clue. I felt like a Presbyterian at a Mass for a funeral but my daughter has sorted both out. 👍

Feck knows what happens now but I'm good to go. 😂.

{Ed007's Note - 👍👍😂

21 Mar 2021 10:07:53
Right Ed I've got Skype and have subscribed on youtube, why do I need skype again? What time you on youtube at? who, what, why, where and when? 😂😂.

{Ed007's Note - You only need Skype if you're going to call in mate. We'll be starting about 2(ish)

21 Mar 2021 09:41:52
Think positive be positive c'mon celtic end their unbeaten run and get some pride back.
