Has anyone put in for relocation for their season ticket for next season? If so have you heard anything from the ticket office? I believe people have been contacted today to go to the ticket office to relocate, I submitted my form in early February and haven't been contacted, was wondering if anyone has been success and if so when did you submit your form, I'm desperate for a move but it doesn't look likely.

21 May 2019 23:34:34
The last two years I've requested to move and both times I've had to chase for a response that was ultimately a no each time. It's not the best system.

22 May 2019 06:39:52
I relocated last year and filled in the form and went in with it that day and they were happy to move me there and then mate! Might be worth a try.

22 May 2019 07:50:46
Yes I managed to move my seat last season I was in the north stand and I managed to get a move to the Lisbon Lions Upper stand for this season best move ever I now have a cracking view and I no longer have the sun blinding me at every turn that's when the sun is out that is.

There must be a way the fans can agree a swap then it would just be a formality for the ticket office. Seems simple to me.

Got involved in this one over on the Sevvies site and I wondered how the rest of you sit on this one. The SFA took Steve Clark away from Kilmarnock when they're currently in their most successful period for more than 50 years. As an association, I would say they have a responsibility to keep our teams as competitive as possible which in turn makes our league more competitive. For that reason, I don't think they should be taking a successful manager away from a member club. For me it simply demonstrates that their influence is destructive to our game. They charged Broony with not acting in the best interests of Scottish football. In my opinion, they should now be facing those charges. Thoughts anyone?

21 May 2019 18:43:45
As much as I have no interest in the sfa that’s a ridiculous post bud.

21 May 2019 19:14:28
So let me get this right COYBIG you’re saying the SFA should NOT appoint a success manager?

21 May 2019 19:15:47
A blind man could see that Clarke was best man for the Scotland job mate.
For once the sfa have got it right and kept a good manager involved in Scottish football.

21 May 2019 19:22:15
Cant see your logic there mate, a think he was leaving kilmarnock anyway for family reasons but the sfa are entitled to go for whoever they want. Personally I don't like international football so I shouldn't really have an opinion but I think clarke has just taken his last managers job, scotland will ruin his reputation, well maybe he'll end up back at killie.

21 May 2019 19:36:18
The bottom line is Kilmarnock will probably go downhill from here after progressing into a top three side, capable of taking points off ANY SPL team and be replaced by another Lee McCulloch or Allen Johnston type who will possibly undo all the good work done before?
I don't think the SFA forced Clarke to leave or if Kilmarnock had tried to extend his stay, but he seems to have made his own mind up for personal reasons and for those of you that follow International football, I suppose it's light years better than EBT McLeish.

Great appointment for Scotland
Here to a major finals
It’s been a while
Scotland for the World Cup!

21 May 2019 19:56:02
Ok, doesn’t sound like i’m getting much support for this. My point is they should be looking for someone who’s either out of work or from another association. I don’t think they should’ve sacked Strachan as he he came close to qualification which is probably about as good as we can expect.

21 May 2019 20:08:33
Ok Coybig let's go for Alex Mcleish.

21 May 2019 20:21:31
COYBIG they should be looking for the best they can get no matter what job he's in IMO.

21 May 2019 20:51:15
Fair enough Kev, it’s an opinion, as is mine. It may seem a bit defeatist, but I’m not sure any manager can get us to a major tournament now. If I’m right about that, it would make more sense to leave Clark at Kilmarnock where we he could continue to enhance our game and appoint someone who’s out of work. Terry, no!

21 May 2019 21:24:02
Clarke was always leaving killie . i for 1 want scotland to do well and think it would have been stupid for scotland to miss this chance at a decent manager . for once they have got their finger out and made the right appointment . sacking strachan was a mistake as he done not too bad but he was getting to that stubborn strachan era so i can see why he got the boot also . hopefully bowie will fund another good manager to keep killie on the right footing as we do need progressive clubs in scotland for us all to improve . on the fact of them bringing the game into disrepute . they've been doing that since they found out rangers was dying then carried it on to confer the tainted titles to newco . so ye they should all be charged 😂
Hail hail.

21 May 2019 21:26:08
How often hv Killie taken points from old firm over last 18 months. Got to think Clarke can set us up to nick results against higher ranked nations instead of the cannon fodder under EBT.

21 May 2019 21:49:41
I think he’ll do well. Whether he can get us to a major tournament is another story but I hope he proves me wrong. I think we all know that managing the national side is a different kettle of fish to club management. Despite my opposition to this, I’ll be right behind him and I hope Griff will get back to full fitness to take part in it with him.

21 May 2019 21:50:48
I think we have the players to do a lot better than we have of late and Clarke is a manager that will organise them properly.

22 May 2019 00:04:11
Think he had decided to go back down sarf, anyway, so maybe he let the SFA know this, and that's why they could appoint him as Scotland manager without having quibbles about weakening one of the Scottish clubs.

22 May 2019 00:05:18
Good post buddy. Im happy with clarke as new manger excited to watch scotland games again. But as you says it has weaken kilmarnock wile they were improveing our league and makeing it more intresting and could have done well in europe next season with clark. Something our league needs. Think scottish football as a whole should be pushing sky for more money and i mean everyone invovled with scottish football. How much alone to do think they make off our old firm games. People like hugh keevins saying the money sky give our league is not scraps.

22 May 2019 00:06:55
Terry, but there is no OF, just a Glasgow Derby with the new boys on the block.

21 May 2019 23:44:15
Terry Munroe, who is the old firm? I have to say Clarke's standing at the moment is very high . Will it be the same in two years time . ? I doubt it .
The biggest problem Clarke and Celtic has, is if Clarke wants to have the best Scottish players playing their best football, he is going to want very many Celtic players playing at their best in friendlies and competitive games . He will want to develop best playing style to suit the style he thinks best .
Celtic have too many games in a season and half our players will have many more .

Just one other point, he should pick Dembele for Scotland's first competitive game and bring him on for as little as last minute and Scotland has Dembele for his whole career.

Today is the 40th Anniversary of the famous 4-2 game. It was Celtic last game of the season and only a victory would guarantee the title.2 goals in the last 5 minutes and the league title was ours.
The old club only needed a draw and then it would have been in their own hands because they had a further 2 matches to play. We won the league on a Monday night and only 2 nights later the old club were home to Partick Thistle and it went down as their worst home league attendance in their history only 2,500 heartbroken fans made the game which they won 1-0 incidentally they lost the last game anyway against Hibs 2-1.
The old club were 5 minutes away playing against 10 men from keeping their title hopes alive yet a couple of nights later they have their worst attendance in their history. They went from the chance of a full house to 2,500 fans in the space of 5 minutes. They must have been devastated.

21 May 2019 15:58:32
Today is the 50th Anniversary of the old club being called britains shame after 2,000 fans stormed the pitch after Newcastle went 2-0 up causing 20 minutes delay.
They didn't stop there because pubs, shops and even private homes had their windows smashed in a night of more shame because it was only 6 years previously the same happened when the old club played Wolves, they ran riot in the city centre and that is why their fans are now called huns. The local paper in Wolverhampton said the old clubs fans were behaving like a pack of huns.

22 May 2019 00:01:13
When is the Manchester anniversary?

21 May 2019 12:55:17
Does anyone know of any Celtic pubs in Sunny Beach Bulgaria for the final on Saturday?

21 May 2019 13:46:23
Fat cat (across from Glarus hotel) or daks Irish bar (just off flower street)

21 May 2019 13:57:33
Bar Fuktifano
👍.

21 May 2019 17:35:13
Cheers Altim.

Terry 😂😂.

Ed007 if I remember posted that it that time it could be down to Clarke and Lennon so if that was right we should not be surprised when or if Lennon will be appointed.

21 May 2019 11:05:21
If Lennon, why wait?
Serves no purpose if he had the job it would have been announced by now to remove any uncertainty.

Don’t see him getting it, treble or not.

21 May 2019 11:27:01
Perhaps the club were willing to see how Lennon got on? Or to see if any other targets were interested in the time being?

21 May 2019 11:34:12
that's a damn reasonable point 10-i-a-r-b-4-u-no.

21 May 2019 12:55:38
Heard a few times from different people that NL had been told that his contract was up to and including the Cup Final; so that there was no misguidance, shocks or disappointment on both sides.
The speculation over the past few weeks has been partly driven by supporters wish-list, bookies looking to fleece people and guesswork.
I have no idea who will be 'unveiled' - although (unfortunately) there is a lot of murmurings about Moyes; however, at this time of the year with contracts ending and clubs looking to maybe change direction, here's hoping the club have looked at ALL possible options.

21 May 2019 14:51:14
As you all know Lenny not for me for the job and if the rumour was true about him getting in the face of a young Celtic player then that's another reason for me not to want him as manager there is passion and there is bullying Not for me.

21 May 2019 16:38:26
Tony2bhoy I agree, this is another reason why it won't be Lennon as club won't want to jepordise the successful policy of developing youth players. They will also want a manager who actually has some tactical awareness about them so that definitely rules Lennon out.

21 May 2019 23:55:18
Don't believe rumours, how many time have rumours turned out to have been started by MSSM or Rangers2012 fans, stupid me they are the same thing )

There is many young players at many clubs that the manager getting into his face would be the right and proper thing . We have had them at Celtic Pk, Mosunda, Ferez Watt and many more highly talented individuals that managers had to bite their tongue and let the young rubbishs destroy their career before it started.
