Hello and welcome. 👍.

22 Mar 2021 20:27:48
Bhoys just listened to the podcast, I’m going to get my Skype fixed this week.
My comment is that I think Ed is a man ahead of his time, with the Brian’s and Foresight to have Paul as this first main contributor. He has give us all a simple introduction to the accent that our Manager’s interviews and press conferences will be delivered in next season.
Ed, as you say”Peace be upon Him”
He’s a Coming Bhoys.

{Ed007's Note - Hi Mal, nice to hear from you buddy and I hope everything's ticking along for you and the hooter recovery. Paul's an absolute star mate and really helped me out behind the scenes - and he half can't feckin' talk!!! He'll be co-hosting with me and we'll try and get 1 or 2 others on as guest "panelists" to take calls & questions.}

Regarding the non pen, if eddy doesn't get put the way of the challenge he's getting a sore one, if that's outside the box it's a foul all day so why not yesterday, contact is minimal but he has to jump out the way because of a reckless challenge. gollum at his best.

22 Mar 2021 13:36:19
Contact is irrelevent Mally if you read the Laws of the Game.

It is a direct free kick (therefore a penalty in the box) if the challenge is careless, reckless or uses excessive force.

To me Barisic went in with his studs showing and didn't play the ball. If Edouard has not jumped he would have been cleaned out. To me the challenge was somewhere between careless and reckless.

Careless is when a player shows a lack of attention or consideration when making a challenge or acts without precaution. No disciplinary sanction is needed

Reckless is when a player acts with disregard to the danger to, or consequences for, an opponent and must be cautioned.

22 Mar 2021 13:44:35
Collum is a cheat Mally.
Did you notice how he tries to portray that he doesn't have a clear line of sight? He bends his neck to the right to look around the rangers player. If he looks to the left he has full sight of it.

22 Mar 2021 13:52:53
I agree with you Mally. For me it was a dive because he could realistically have got out the way and still took the shot on but that doesn't mean it wasn't a penalty. Barisic slides between Eddy and the ball, which means Eddy is forced to get out out the way. I'm not clued up on the wording in the rule book but I'd say that's obstruction.

22 Mar 2021 14:09:14
What about the other stonewall penalty we should have had before that when Hollander handled the ball at a corner. His hand was well away from his body and therefore in an unnatural position. No mention of this whatsoever on sky.

22 Mar 2021 14:48:44
By the way Mally, I am in agreement with you. I was just pointing out that contact is not necessary for a penalty to be given for a tackle.

22 Mar 2021 15:05:40
Buzz Bomb 10,Knows all the facts, Sevco haven't had a penalty or had a player sent off for many league games.

22 Mar 2021 15:23:55
glen80768, too many .

22 Mar 2021 15:33:01
another one for you Buzz; how many points dropped or games not won versus Sevco when the wee scrote is referee?

22 Mar 2021 16:02:53
no point in always moaning about it. it needs to be challenged and not left till its routed right out the game or we will be losing out on more success to there cheating. all the evidence is there for there bias it needs took to task. hugh dallas with anti catholic emails it does not take a smart person to understand what club he will favour.

22 Mar 2021 16:05:36
I still can't see it being a penalty for me or I would say it would be a soft one if it was and I can't really argue much with the referee at all really in that game I think we let them off big time they were there for the taking but with a poor manager we didn't take the advantage.

22 Mar 2021 16:11:36
No problem lennon . he booked brown for nothing and ignored persistent fouling from sevco . and it is a pen for me all day if eddy doesn't move he is getting clattered and barisic ain't getting the ball.

22 Mar 2021 16:11:48
Glen
Sevco have now went 43 league games without conceding a penalty.
OAB
Celtic actually have a great record when Collum has been the referee in this fixture.
Celtic have only lost once and it was to Rangers in Willie’s first “ old firm “ match.
It was the game that Collum gave Rangers a penalty with his back turned.
Celtic won his next “ old firm “ fixture before they entered a Liquidation process.
Celtic are undefeated in the “Glasgow Derby” when Collum has been the referee.
Celtic have won 5 games and only drawn that One game yesterday.
Although Celtic have been superior in the games Collum has been the referee, Willie has still given them more penalties and sent off more Celtic players in his 8 combined Derby matches.

22 Mar 2021 16:34:33
Thanks Buzz Bomb 10.

22 Mar 2021 16:43:57
Cheers Buzz; I'm astonished with that because I always felt there is a lot more controversy and anger after games he is involved in, especially when paired with Unionist Ross.
Well, there you go. Thanks for the facts, mate.

22 Mar 2021 16:58:07

I noticed the stats last week and I was shocked myself.
One of the referee assistants from yesterday, went into the match with 6 wins for Celtic out of 6 games in the fixture.
With a combined score of 17-2 in favour of Celtic.
Now it’s 18-3.

22 Mar 2021 22:00:45
Didnt hear sky commentatory team apologize for whatever brainless cretan of a rangers player called Eddy a cheating james hunt.

23 Mar 2021 02:26:30
C'mon Mally the replays showed it was clear dive!

22 Mar 2021 10:27:25
ED 007 when does the season ticket renewals come out?

{Ed007's Note - I'm not sure, Ricardo - isn't it usually around the first week or two of April?}

22 Mar 2021 14:30:35
Do u think they’ll name the new manager before the renewals?

22 Mar 2021 09:17:04
I've spent a lot of time with Alex Neil and he's a good Celtic man and has a great view of how the game should be played but his spell at Preston has surely put his chances of managing us to bed.

22 Mar 2021 06:55:14
Thats the last 2 sevco games if we'd had someone on the post we would mot have conceded, it's a farce why do we mot Lear from this, even Mon said the same, its baffling making the same mistakes over and over.

22 Mar 2021 07:15:58
Mally your right, I've never understand not putting players on the posts, it prevents lots of goals.

22 Mar 2021 07:48:37
Mally, this season the players have came under serious scrutiny and rightly so, but how many games this season have we conceded where having a man on the back post would’ve made a difference? That comes down to coaching . As a collective, what are the players and coaches doing to rectify these mistakes when watching re runs of these games? The amount of goals we’ve conceded this season from set pieces and not having a man on the back post is unreal and yet it continues. it’s pathetic. As for Kennedy, again as the same at tannadice his substitutions and timing of them are a joke. 75 mins yesterday before his first sub, then to sub brown with 3 mins to go and replace him with soro? What kind of substitution even is that? And to bring griffiths on with 3 mins to go anaw and take edouard aff Pathetic. As poor a game as edouard had, why not with 15/ 20 mins to go put griffiths up to with Edouard take a defender aff and just go for it?

22 Mar 2021 08:06:26
Can't disagree with any of that garry. the brown and griff subs were baffling. if griff had got maybe 20 mins you never know and what's the point in soro for 3 mins. when defending corners/ set pieces we should have plenty bodies to pick up and cover posts. its amateurish and we never learn.

22 Mar 2021 08:12:56
Plus the sooner we stop doing this zonal marking sxxt the better. Mark man for man and height for height. I have yet to see space head a ball but we have seen plenty of opposition scoring on us. How can we think if we stand in a spot and allow the opposition a free run we can compete in the air. It's dreadful decision-making using this system. And l agree with the man on the post. Even if it only one on the opposite post to where the corner is coming from. All 4 goals this season against them are from set piece and the last 2 corners. Up to recently l saw a stat that said 43% of all the goals we conceded this season were from set pieces! Shocking just shocking.

22 Mar 2021 08:17:37
We don’t have a centre half who can come and win a header.

22 Mar 2021 08:45:32
It’s simple, put a man on the back post every corner. Surely that comes down to coaching and looking at the stats? Is that not the job of the coaching staff to look at that and implement it? It’s an absolute joke.

22 Mar 2021 09:15:26
It was ment to be Duffy but it just hasn't happened for him and julien unfit and is soft.

22 Mar 2021 09:29:02
Mally it should have been Duffy but for whatever reason it just didn’t happen for the big fella in a season to forget.

21 Mar 2021 23:33:39
Everton fan here. Curious as to how Jonjoe Kenny is getting on?

Good luck for the rest of the season.

22 Mar 2021 06:52:15
Most weeks a 6 or 7 out of 10. That's against dross though, yesterday against an average Sevco team he was 2. Willbget found out in Europe and against them so I'm afraid he will be getting "returned to sendsr"

22 Mar 2021 07:53:31

JonJoe has defended well for Celtic and he’s looked a decent player.
His final ball is probably his weakness.
He looked nervous yesterday in his biggest game for our club and he never had the confidence to take their full back on.
Hopefully he can gain a Scottish Cup Winners medal before he returns to your Great club at the end of the season.
