Ed007, Miko just saw result from u19 glasgow cup tie this evening Celtic 1 Rangers 0
Guess what? Rangers got a penalty (our goalie saved it) and Celtic got man sent off, just shows you SFA are training their refs at EVERY level how to discriminate against Celtic but as usual good won over evil ha ha Timalloy
Sally has asked for this referee for Saturday! {Ed007's Note - I saw that Tim.}

Believable0 Unbelievable0

By all accounts it was a harsh sending off...

Agree0 Disagree0

It wasn't mate it was a penalty nothing malicious just a bad timed tackle

Any crackpots on Clyde 1 SSB or the RR Football phone-in wanting Ally's head?

Didn't manage to listen to either tonight and too late to bother downloading any of them. {Ed007's Note - I never listened tonight, it was a classic Simpsons that was on.}

Agree0 Disagree0

I heard a bit of RR phone-in & some were calling for his head ! One guy suggested he was glad gers were out of cup as they could concentrate on league but DJ shot him down !
Have you seen SSB facebook page its cringe-worthy...by both set of fans, can honestly say my 5yr old knows more about football...

"Super Ally Goes Ballistic , Falkirk Were Ferocious"
Naw me neither .

What a belter of a headline that would of been, but naw your right that scummy paper are more interested in printing cracked Celtic F.C crests......Stevie

Just a thought............we got Kayal in midfield. Broon when fit and Ki when he is no s..ting oot of tackles.And now we play Mulgrew in midfield. The man the saying "jack of all trades master of none" was invented for. So why the hell have we got a Mexican international on loan to a La Liga team?? Totally baffling. Half a Juarez is a better midfielder than Mulgrew. I fear for Lenny if he thinks otherwise. Joeshmo1888

Believable0 Unbelievable0

Juarez is definitely a strange one, thought he could do well for us initially.....who knows?....Miko {Ed007's Note - I think it was more off-field problems that sealed his fate Miko.}

Agree0 Disagree0

Mulgrew would be one of the first names on team sheet, easily one of our most consistent players this year and about the only one we have that has good delivery, i get the feeling if his name wasn't Mulgrew and had a foreign name he would be accepted more by some of the Celtic support......Stevie

Agree0 Disagree0

Stevie, i saw something in Mulgrew last night that really impressed me. He seemed to take the job of being in charge of the defence. He was telling hakadouri (spelling) to calm himself down, he was even having a go at Dan. I know he is not a natural c/b but i think his attitude is spot on, and i really hope he keeps it up.
paddybhoy

Agree1 Disagree0

Yeah Juarez was simply a cut above the rest of our signings pre-season last year although he did very little in his few appearances/run-outs during the SPL season.

Would like to see the guy come back and get into the team as he definitely has something to offer or most likely would if he got a run. Don't see it happening though.

As for Mulgrew, I like the guy and really respect his effort and how he's proved himself after he was labelled a dud before he even kicked a ball when we signed him. He deserves a regular place in the team as I can't remember the last time he had an awful game (one of the few that'd get a passmark against Rangers despite the red).

However, I'd prefer Lennon just played him at CB unless we're in specific need of a LB or LM due to having no other options. First it'd help a CB pairing to gel (and for me it should be Mulgrew/Wilson at least until Jan), and second I don't think he's the best option as first, second or even maybe third choice left-mid (although I guess at the moment it helps El-Kaddouri bed in to the physical side of the game as he's definitely lightweight).

Agree0 Disagree0

Mulgrew has impressed me, 1 With his work ethic, 2 With his capability to take a free Kick, 3 He is beginning to show he has some grit, 4 He is beginning to show leadership, 5 He is showing he can play to his potential against weaker opposition 6 He is proving he can play football by his ability to play in a number of positions. All in all he is taking his chance a bit like SMc did, let's hope he can sustain it for longer. I personally am delighted he has a name like Mulgrew instead of some cheesy type called Motzarella or even Carbine...Less likely to be shot in the foot with a Scottish boy :) and some chance he may actually give a **** about the Club and fans. As for Juarez his unique party style have led him to where he is and good enough for him. It was a disappointment though I admit.

Agree0 Disagree0

22 Sep 2011 20:42:17
don't you think celtic are going back the way under lennon,i love the wee man to bits but under strachan he did a better job with the penny pinching board,hes only made 3 good signings with izzy,hooper and the best of them all ledley what do you think.

22 Sep 2011 20:25:32
Ed007 see Rasmussen scored winner tonight for Sivasspur, he never really got a chance under Lennon.
Miko, I agree with you we need a settled team and Stokes and Hooper must be first choice and then bring on Bangura or Sammy. Ledley would be in my team every week, his workrate is second to none.
Sally must have thought Christmas had come early when he saw Sammy and Loovens in the team.
Same old Sammy, he ALMOST gets on end of a good cross or ALMOST scores but never does. Loovens just has no heart.
Next few league games are vital we must not let them get any further ahead, and then in December Pay Back Time! hail hail Timalloy
PS Miko for some reason we have a bear free zone tonight wonder why? Last sunday Tony posted about 30 times suddenly 1 defeat no Tony?? {Ed007's Note - I would have like to see Rasmussen gave a chance, just to see what he could actually do or not.}

Believable0 Unbelievable0

Is Rasmussen getting a regular game over there? He didn't cut it in Germany, don't know enough about him really. I don't know how it's going to go this season, I'm a hoops man and will always back the team but things just seem pie in the sky at the moment, do you know what I mean?

Our manager can't pick a settled team, making changes as he needs to make them (as Ed mentioned), Rangers' love affair with Her Majesty's R&C and Super Sally's rookie season, etc. Things are really unsettled and it's unsettling me! lol. What you say Tim? Give me some clarity/perspective (and put a name to your post, ffs!).....Miko

Agree0 Disagree0

Miko, Rasmussen seems to be a regular now, Hooviveld is looking OK with Southampton and big O'Dea is looking good at Leeds, I would have kept those 3 and loaned out Sammy, Loovens and Rogne.
Our regular back 4 should be something like Wilson, Mulgrew, K Wilson, El Khadouri, with first choice midfield Brown, Ledley, Kayal and KI and of course Hooper and Stokes. then rotate squad by Mastolvecic, Mathews, Wanyama, Forrest, Commons, Mccourt, Sammy, Bangura, round about 19/20 man squad keep it tight.
Let us hope that results last night have lifted Celtic and deflated them hail hail Timalloy
Play 442 even against gers, make THEM worry about US. OK away in europe play 451

Agree0 Disagree0

So you're a Brown fan too, good to hear Tim! Opinion's split on him.

Do you think Wilson's better at right back than Matthews, it's a close call I suppose. I'd love to see an injury free Rogne back, maybe he'd be more aggressive in his approach alongside Wilson.....Miko

Agree0 Disagree0

im sure he has a valid excuse ... wonder what it will be?


*Who is this joker? I do actually have valid reasons for not being on for weeks, however I don't have to explain myself to you. I came back to the forum immediately after we got pumped at Ibrox, so that blows your theory that I disappeared because the going got tough - well, I'm assuming that's what you meant by your comment.

Haha, your a donk! Come ahead donk, give me your best, I'm here now. What you got chump?....Miko

As a celtic fan i like the philosophy of football neil lennon is trying to establish but feel there is a definate lack of experience within the coaching staff. The team seems to be changing every week, hence the lack of conistency and several players being made individual scapegoats for poor team tactics and performance. I'm in no position to tell anyone at professional level how to do thier job but surely you have to configure a system and pick your strongest 11 players that suit it, and go with it week in, week out ? I am and will continue to back the team unlike some other supporters who are looking to jump on the negativity bandwagon at any given chance. Already this season half the team have been getting pelters from thier own fans ( Forster, Zaluska, Wilson, Loovens, El Kadouri, Majstorovic, Brown, Commons and Samaras). It is my opinion that lennon is shying away from leaving certain players out for prolonged periods when they're not producing the goods on the field in an effort to keep everyone happy. Players I would like to see given a run in the team are Matthews, Forrest and McCourt, as well as giving Samaras another chance as a centre forwards with a partner, either Bangura or Stokes. Nothing against Hooper but as centre forward i would like to see him contributing more, I think his first season has went to his head a wee bit. Any thoughts Ed or fellow fans ? {Ed007's Note - NL needs to decide on a settled team and just tweak it as required through injuries etc.}

Believable1 Unbelievable1

R u samaras,s agent becoz he,s had chance after chance and dun nothing and for u 2 say hooper needs to do more is laughable

Agree0 Disagree0

Samaras 8 goals in 48 games you are having a laugh mate.

Agree0 Disagree0

Don't agree mate, I've defended Sammy for years and everyone knows he has something, however his demeanour at times is negative and disinterested. I think the support have actually given him a fair chance and have now had enough. I'm gutted it's not worked out for Sammy because he has qualities, however he just doesn't show it anywhere near enough and, most importantly, doesn't score.

I don't get your point with Hoops at all, he works hard, drops short, links play and gets into the box - something Sammy should take note of! That's what he did last season and he'll continue to do this season. Consistency's the key - Hoops and Stokes is the partnership to persist with as it's the best partnership!....Miko

Agree0 Disagree0

22 Sep 2011 13:49:20
We have had defensive problems since Strachans time especially left back and centre half and as we cannot add anyone for a few months we have to ensure we assemble our best back four (as NL refuses to consider a back 3) and stick with it.
Kelvin Wilson has been paired with 3 other guys and it's still September so no wonder he is losing confidence. We waited until the last minute to replace Izzaguire's injury and look what we got?
But we have to persevere as Mulgrew should not be shunted from left back to left midfield.
M Wilson, K Wilson, Mulgrew and El Khadouri should be made into a regular unit with Rogne and Mathews on stand-by (Dan against diddy teams) IMO.
Ledley and Kayal and perm 2 from Wanyama, Forrest, Brown, Ki and Commons/McCourt?
Rotate Hooper, Stokes and Bangura the same way Larsson, Sutton and Hartson were utilised and put out our strongest team as often as possible.
I think too many changes are unsettling us?Jinky Fan

Believable5 Unbelievable0

22 Sep 2011 13:33:14
is it not time the board stopped trying to get players on the cheep,only izzy,and,ledley are the decent ones,when it comes to that price range.as for lenny love you to bits wee man,but with the budget you have you havent done well enough,keep hearing how bad and how skint the other mob are but they have had 3 in a row,we ve had a scottish cup.looking back at strachans record with the penny pinching board he done wonders we had the 3 in a row then,seems a long time ago,am sorry lenny if you cant cut is step aside and let some 1 in that can,as for a centre back you have one sitting next to you every week,big johan try him as he would do a better job than some off the ones that are there now

Hi ed. What a difference a few days make. Super Ally could do no wrong. Who was this wonder striker kyle tevez lafferty, the league was goin to be over at Xmas. Treble was a dead cert. So let's have a look at the real picture. Lenny funk up with team selection on Sunday. Mc Coist has been knock out of 3 cups and it's only September. Lenny still in four competitions. 31 league matches left. 3 old firms to get four points back. Mc Coist is a very lucky manager that Lenny mess up team selection because if we had win and after last nite result super ally cud of been given the boot. What you think ed? Bigirishmac {Ed007's Note - I think the win on Sunday has saved McCoist from some serious questions being asked BIM.}

Believable2 Unbelievable0

The same way the win last night saved Lennon from some serious questions. The facts are we shouldnt have got put out the Champions League ED or Europa League and last night was a joke but our league form has been great. 7 games no defeats I think its 11 goals for and 3 goals against. We should have won comfortably last night but the league is bread and butter and we are sitting in a very good position. We would never have won any of the European competitions. Whats getting on my nerves is the amount of fans who probably posted saying McCoist is a legend and stuff after Sundays game are now saying get him out. Obviously you cant prove this because they are nameless posters but I bet you some of them have. Rant over lol

Billyboy1 {Ed007's Note - It's a true saying in football BB1, you are only as good as your last game with some fans.}

Agree0 Disagree0

True ED, frustrating. Those are the fans that stop you getting tickets for cup finals. I go to every home game and some away matches not all but when it came to the old firm final last year I couldnt get a sniff of a ticket. Part time fans they are called. Saying that probably wont be in any cup finals this season so shouldnt have the same problem lol

Billyboy1 {Ed007's Note - There are plenty of them. They see going to a match as a prestige thing to brag about at work on a Monday, with the old cliche 'I know someone that gets me tickets when I want'. You should want them every game as long as finances etc allow, not just the 'big' games to be able to boast 'I was there'.}

Agree0 Disagree0

Your spot on ED too many of them. Ibrox on average gets about 42,000 for every home game but when Celtic lost to Caley last year Ibrox was packed for the remaining 2 home games because we were 3 wins from title.

Billyboy1 {Ed007's Note - Then there is what I call the 'family package' for cup finals etc. Guys you know that go to matches themselves, yet at a cup final they are sitting with their wife and kids and I am lucky to even be sitting with one of my mates who go to every game.}

Agree0 Disagree0

Bang on Billyboy 1.
I laugh at how fans call for a managers head, then he wins against his rivals and he is brilliant!. What is even more mental, is when your team are playing badly, but your rivals then get a couple of bad results, that somehow your team are great again. Football fans are very fickle. But some take it to extremes!

Why can't wee get in 2 centre halves this has been going on for countless seasons now don't have any faith in the back hop Wilson gets it together looked good at the start of the season don't now if it's because he's stuck beside 2 ballons in loovens and dan

22 Sep 2011 08:02:48
I am greatly concerned about the quality in the squad. I wonder who shares my opinion? We currently have 39 in the first team squad. 8 are on loan noteably O'Dea who I would take back immediately if it were possible The rest probably not although Rass did not get a chance and McGinn also can count himself unlucky. Now we move to the 31 or so left. Of those including the Twardzik boys 6 are youngsters. So lets for the moment discount them as they at best will get a half dozen games between them this season. NOw to the 25 or so professionals. Big question marks over many of these guys. All the keepers are suspect. Definitely the Cervi signing is a joke and why we keep him "on development" season after season who knows. Foster is above Zaluska so Zaluska cannot be rated. Therefore 2 goalies have to go to get some competition for Foster, given that he is staying. Loovens a complete liability. He has to go. Sammi I think has to go whatever side of the fence you are on. Poor Paddy hasn't been given a chance so he should be played or released/sold. He deserves better treatment. Commons after a great start looks poor and has now been questioned over loyalty or it appears so anyway. No loss on this seasons form. We are now down to 19 players. Who next? Foster mentioned earlier. He is a couple of bad performances away from being dropped. Dan well he is hot and cold and not convincing. M Wilson although I have a soft spot is injury prone and inconsistent. Rogne...Who? We will call that another 3 who cant cut it. We are down to 16 guys we can more or less depend on. Out of remember 39. 31 of which are available fro selection. No wonder Lennon pulled young George out of the wee team. Its time for a serious clearout. PS figures are approximate :)

Front page of the sun.

Story cut short if you haven't read it yet his agent is ragin that everyone thinks sunday was his fault. Don't think his agent sees the bigger picture ? 3 goals in a season ? Don't matter if your in a Sunday pub team or David villa at barca either way it aint good enough.

Hopfully Sami goes in the jan transfer window & 'restart' his career else where.

Loved it how it was all super ally this n that, aye well done to him he beat the tic, but as stated above may is a long time way & a think jan will be intresting too.
No CL money,no europa money, no cup money for last night, where as if uses got threw there's ticket money & all the rest that goes with it.so wouldnt be surprised if jellyfish or a few others go. All am sayin is your top just now threw know fault of our own & if Celtic win lose draw I'll always be on here mate too gloat/moan etc at the end of the day it's all good banter & all good fun :)

Hi Ed i confirmed this Commons bust up on this forum a few days ago. I also said it was just an argument and no transfer has even been talked about. Am now wondering if maybe things have changed but not heard anything. What about you? One thing is for sure as long as Neil Lennon is the gaffer i will back him over any player! Btw was it just me or did Hooper look as though he never gave a toss tonight? {Ed007's Note - Supporters should always back the manager over any player. You can disagree with the manager or want him out, but no player is bigger than the club or more important than the manager, it's the manager's job on the line, not the player's.}
