Ed, when you and Paul were talking on the Podcast earlier about some of the younger players you'd like to see get a run out, there was one player I was trying to think off but couldn't get his name, it's Leo Hjelde. This bhoy, who's Dad was also a pro, is getting some good reviews 👌.

Believable1 Unbelievable0

{Ed007's Note - I thought about him but he's out on loan so couldn't play for us but he does seem to be a player.}

22 Apr 2021 22:16:46
Ah, I should've realised that. These are the bhoys we need to keep and nurture going forward.

Agree1 Disagree0

{Ed007's Note - I've been really impressed with Welsh this year and he definitely needs to keep his place in the squad next season.}

22 Apr 2021 22:34:08
I also think young Welsh has done great considering he's made the step up and into a team that's been abysmal all season.

He's just signed a new deal so hopefully he can develop under a new head coach 👌.

Agree0 Disagree0

{Ed007's Note - 👍 I'd give him POTY.}

I've uploaded the latest episode of The Bawz & Bovril podcast on the Podcast Talk page on here or you can listen back on Youtube HERE and listen back on other platforms tomorrow HERE.

{Ed007's Note - Thanks for coming on Mikey - I still can't believe I didn't twig who you were on the live chat on there lol You're welcome back any time 👍
Btw for those that aren't up to scratch with the YT stuff, any time we're live there's a live rolling chat on there like we have on here for games. All the lads chat away and get involved with what we're talking about so feel free to get involved, if you need any tech advice just get in touch with me and we'll sort you out.}

22 Apr 2021 22:30:19
After watching his last fight I'd like young Connor Benn to fight Jake Paul. Connor is only a Welterweight so he'd be giving away a fair bit in height and weight, but I'd say Benn would knock him out in Round 1.

{Ed007's Note - I'll fight the 2 of them at the same time for £1 million bit it needs to be Fairhill Hardcore Rules 😁

SUPER LEAGUE - it was even mentioned by one of the executives that they wanted Celtic and "rangers. "

So, we are big enough to be considered for a "SUPER! League" but not considered big enough to automatically qualify for the Champions League Knock-Out stages.

Anyone notice at Aberdeen Goal there were at least five Celtic players marking no-one. I know the season's over etc etc but where is the game mangement professional pride. Brown McGregor and Ajer should be ranting and raving. Gone out with a whimper. Capitulation.

I have read elsewhere that The Daily Record are saying that David Turnbull could receive a ban for something that happened during last nights game, are the Record doing there bit so he misses the Derby game with Sevco, if they are so interested in things that have happened l would be interested to hear of there coverage of the Sevco C.V. idiots that are still being allowed to play, or is that getting played down.

Not so sure the biased and corruption would cease if there was a British League and we were to join? You just have to look at SLY and the other English, union jack flying establishments to see that.

If everyone is being honest and if it had happened to a Celtic player we would all have been screaming for a red card.
He Was very lucky to stay on the park.

22 Apr 2021 21:34:40
I thought it was unlike Turnbull, if the ref sees it then it's a red card/ red card 🤔.

It was a red card all day long.

22 Apr 2021 13:56:32
Lewis Ferguson had 4 great chances last night and thankfully he only scored one goal.
He's turned into a bit if an all rounder because I always thought he was more of a defensive midfielder.
Last night showed he can burn the candle at both ends.
Ferguson is also a danger in the air and that is a bonus for a midfield player.
The big stumbling block would be that he has 3 more years left on his contract and I think it would take at least £5 million to get Aberdeen round the table.
We seen how much Aberdeen dug their heels in with big McKenna.
I would rather Celtic signed a young and determined Lewis Ferguson, instead of taking a chance on another foreign project.
Soro will still do a job for Celtic but we need to build a squad good enough to win the title back and also compete in Europe.
I think Celtic should get in there first before our city rivals buy him.
Would you want Celtic to buy Lewis Ferguson and if so, what's the most you would expect Celtic to pay to get him?

Believable3 Unbelievable0

22 Apr 2021 14:16:36
Defo sign him 4 million tops.

Agree2 Disagree0

22 Apr 2021 14:24:24
Would be a good signing, Turnbull Ferguson, Soro, and another to be added.

Agree2 Disagree0

22 Apr 2021 14:57:31
100% would love to sign ferguson. I have said it on here more than once. The lad is a quality player and has a lot of experience in the spfl. Would be a great addition for us.

Agree2 Disagree0

22 Apr 2021 15:05:59
Would be a good signing, but will cost a bit .

Agree2 Disagree0

22 Apr 2021 15:38:37
Good shout and reasoning Buzz.

I've been calling for us to sign Ferguson for a while (as you'll know) and I also think we could do a lot worse than getting Campbell from Motherwell at the same time.

Like you, I'd rather we bought young Scottish players who are already performing well, playing first team football and can be developed, than your Shved's etc of this world.

Agree1 Disagree0

22 Apr 2021 16:21:44
Meant to add, cash or + player (around 4-5M)

Agree0 Disagree0

22 Apr 2021 17:08:26
i personally think he will be a sevco player in the summer.

Agree0 Disagree0

22 Apr 2021 18:00:59
LiamLennon i think I read something about sevco have to sell players this summer. £23m they have to raise to pay back loans etc.

I think he would be an ideal signing for us and reckon he would link up well with Turnbull. If he is £5m, then pay it.

Agree0 Disagree0

22 Apr 2021 18:11:29
I’ve only got round to watching the BBC highlights and Ferguson had another good header at the start of the game, I hadn’t counted.
Ferguson also cleared a certain Christie goal off the line.
Poor coverage from the BBC for not showing and debating the Edouard off side goal on the stroke of half time.

Agree0 Disagree0

22 Apr 2021 18:15:05
I see him as a natural successor to Broony but the way the manky mob are allowed to spend zillions they ain't got. there could be a twist?

Agree1 Disagree0

22 Apr 2021 18:56:48
I know his uncle Barry said the boy wouldn't have any issues with signing for us but I see him going to Sevco in the summer.

Agree0 Disagree0

22 Apr 2021 19:17:54
The lad Alan Campbell from Motherwell and Lewis Ferguson would be good additions to our midfield .

Agree0 Disagree0

22 Apr 2021 20:44:58
I've been saying all season buzz we should sign Ferguson, I like his energy and battling qualities and he is now pitching in with a few goals. I said we should sign him and Doig or Hickey only 2 weeks ago and got bombarded with the usual, he is nowhere near good enough for us. Which I disagree with, I think we can get home a bit cheaper and possibly use someone from our squad as a sweetener. Definitely get him signed up in my opinion.

Agree1 Disagree0

22 Apr 2021 22:09:52
No sure he will sign for the mob. Heard they treated him piss poor when he was there as a youth player.

Agree1 Disagree0

22 Apr 2021 10:31:55
There is chatter about a British Super League as a potential alternative to the ill-fated ESL. I'd definitely be more open to this sort of thing than the ESL where it's more sensible geographically - like the Dutch-Belgian merger that's being spoken about. However, we can't pontificate about the greedy few and then jump ship to a different closed shop. For me, there would need to be a proper Scottish-English pyramid merger with a fair promotion and relegation system where not only us and Rangers have the chance to play bigger games and make more money. Unless the other Scottish teams had no interest and told us not to let the door hit us on the way out.

P. S. Well done to the women's team last night, maybe Kennedy should make the men watch their game today and show them what it's like to show a bit of heart and pride.

Believable2 Unbelievable0

I think I’d need to feel British before I didn’t have an issue with Celtic deciding to play in a British league.

Secondly the ESL proposal was morally bankrupt. An elite club for the privileged. Salvation for the few. Did you ever see the film Titanic? Do you remember the character dressed as a woman pushing woman and weans out the road to get in the lifeboat and secure his escape?

He was Arsenal, Manchester United, Liverpool, Tottenham, Manchester City and Chelsea. If Celtic took part in anything remotely similar that would finish me. Some things are bigger than money and success. If the Church of England is the Tory party at prayer the six aforementioned clubs are the Tory party at play. And even the Tories thought the ideas was reprehensible.

Agree0 Disagree0

22 Apr 2021 14:52:27
Like it or not, we're based in Britain JFP so you should be comfortable enough with it by now lol. Think we definitely agree on the morality of the ESL though. There would need to be total transparency and fairness for any restructuring to even get off the ground.

Agree0 Disagree0

22 Apr 2021 15:02:19
I'd take it or leave it Kev. Like you say, providing it was a proper league system with relegation/ promotion. Part of it excistes me, part of me thinks I've enjoyed watching us in a 'backwater' for 30 years so what's another 30. But we hear this every year and the answer is the same. There's plenty clubs down here scared of Celtic, or at least, what they could become.

Agree1 Disagree0

22 Apr 2021 15:26:49
Spot on Jim! Outside the big dogs, they'd be dead against it because they know we'd take 2 of their spots.

There’s a big difference between being located geographically within the British Isles and feeling British with all that entails.

Anyway I still haven’t given up hope to an engineering solution to the border from the Solway to the Tweed. It’s Ireland’s greatest gift the feckn Irish Sea.

As the song says.

The sea, oh the sea, oh a gradh geal mo chroide
Long may it stay between England and me
It's a sure guarantee that some hour we'll be free
Thank God we're surrounded by water.

Agree1 Disagree0

22 Apr 2021 16:06:24
A few years ago the English were talking about reconstructing a Premiership 1 and a Premiership 2 and we would be invited into the 2nd league.
It prevented Celtic from starting at the bottom of their pyramid and it also kept some English clubs contented, that we weren’t going straight into their top league.

Agree0 Disagree0

22 Apr 2021 18:04:05
Oldkilly loved that comment about fannies 🤣🤣🤣🤣.

Border patrol would be busy on a Saturday! 20 years ago when I was a young lad I would have been right up for it. Now I think no way. Horrible league that only cares about money. All clubs should be looking to improve the Scottish game. We have had a lot of good young talent in recent years. Hopefully the new conference league will give Aberdeen a good chance to qualify and we can continue to build the reputation of the league. With Hearts replacing Hamilton and possibly Dundee coming back in place of County or Killie next season should see the standard improve. Onwards and upwards.

Good morning Ed, do we know when Dominic McKay may give his first interview or Press Conference as Celtic CEO?

Believable1 Unbelievable0

{Ed007's Note - I've no idea mate but I wouldn't hold my breath on a press conference, it'll more than likely be a semi-scripted puff piece with Gerry McCulloch on CelticTV.}

22 Apr 2021 10:38:10
I was expecting a presser as well Pedro but I don't know if that's even a normal thing for a CEO. It was probably just the fact that Lawwell is such a high profile figure and him leaving is a big deal.

Agree0 Disagree0

22 Apr 2021 11:03:49
I fear you could be right but would hope, given what has taken place this season, it would be a great opportunity for him to speak to the fans, outline a plan and help to instill hope for the future. 😉.

Leigh Griffiths has once again maintained our record of scoring on every visit to Aberdeen in the last 20 years.
It's the second time Griffiths has scored in the 90th + 3 minutes to maintain that record.
Leigh also scored an injury time consolation in 2016.
It was the game that Fraser Forster was finally beaten in the league for the first time in over 20 hours by a Johnny Hayes screamer.
The last time Celtic failed to score at Pittodrie was in December 2001.
That game will be best remembered for the home fans hitting the Celtic players with snowballs.
It was the last league game Celtic lost that season.

We were told changes would be made yesterday. But yet I still seen Niro at the back which is fine. The same midfield of Brown and McGregor which has been disastrous all season. What has Soro done exactly not to merit a place in the team. He hasn't put a foot wrong from what I see he has a very intelligent reading of the game and does the simple things right. Christie still playing and doing absolute heehaw as well why not put dembele on from the start to bring that bit of spark.

Believable1 Unbelievable0

22 Apr 2021 09:38:00
Kennedy (who was said to be an excellent coach) , has come up well short in team selection and performance. Particularly, in the last two games, when questions were asked. Starting Laxalt, on Sunday was wrong and it took him 45 minutes to admit it; then last night it was the exact same with Eddy, Christie and Broony, who most fans thought should never have started and he was eventually forced to hook them. The team that finished the game should probably have started along with Soro, who is getting a really raw deal at the minute IMO. The new manager cannot come soon enough as there is a huge job in hand.

Agree2 Disagree0

22 Apr 2021 11:06:43
OAB2, Kennedy is our Murty.

Good enough coach (apparently) but a lot to learn before he gets the main job at a big club.

McKay won't feel fully in charge till Lawell goes. So I wouldn't expect much from him as Lawell will still be pulling the strings I'd imagine.
