{Ed007's Note - That's very kind but don't be daft mate. They're not that expensive for basic gaming ones and according to Ed001 all I need to make sure of is that it's not bluetooth only as that causes lagging and puts things out of sync.}

Welshy I don’t know anything about hair nets but if Ed needs one I’m sure we’d all chip in and I would too if there was a wee commitment tae him no mentioning Roy Keane.

Agree0 Disagree0

{Ed007's Note - A hair net! Grotbags is doing her nut at the nick of my hair - I had to shave though as it was getting well itchy and annoying - but I've told her I'm growing it so I can perm it 😁

Can pick up a pair of Hyper X Cloud II second hand for about £25. Great headset and if you do a lot of gaming you will be glad you got a comfy pair.

{Ed007's Note - I was looking about and Argos are selling sets of Turtle Beach ones for £20, aren't they one of the best makes?}

Its only what uve heard eh ED lol.

{Ed007's Note - I thought I had put a GIF up as an answer, Richy. Until I hear anything different I think it'll be Keane 💚Peace be upon him💚

23 Feb 2021 21:49:53
If it happens peace be upon the players if they think Lennon gets on at them wait till they see Keane. I don't even know what style of play Keane used as a manager am guessing 4-4-2 old style.

Agree0 Disagree0

23 Feb 2021 22:23:44
Might sound daft ed but I picked a decent set up from home bargains for £7. By decent I mean disposable and replaceable when the kids get their hands on them. Do me fine in a teams meeting for work.

{Ed007's Note - I've not got any kids to break them - maybe FIFA rage is a bigger risk to them lol - but I need to make sure the mic is good enough for the recording/broadcasting.}

see those sky sports league supporters there comments are unreal the way they slag of Scottish football. what a day it would be if sky pulled the plug on there league see how good it would be without the sky sports billions.

its a league based on greed and chasing the sky money no interest in cups or anything just make sure you stay in the league for the money there is no passion in it and full of mercenaries. up in till the year 2006 Scottish teams had the better head to head against English teams in Europe i wonder why that is if our football is so pish.

herd a discussion with some fans from down there they would rather finish in the top 6 than finish 16th and win the fa cup how sad is that.

Yep remember Aston villa escaping relegation by the skin of their teeth and celebrating as it they had won the champions League.

Agree1 Disagree0

23 Feb 2021 20:25:10
UI as you know I have absolutely no interest in anything south of the border including football. A gentleman asked me in Donegal year before last who my English team was when I was in the pub watching the Celtic game with a friend. I thought no response said everything I had to say as I walked away.

I would love nothing more than to see the ar$e falling right out of the EPL but meantime we should exploit it for all it’s worth in our position of being a shop window to it. I’d have banned them from Europe after BREXIT. I could handle Neil Lennon for the next 10 years as manager or even Roy Keane (Peace be Upon Him) at a push but the one thing that would make me hand back my season ticket is a British league.

Agree0 Disagree0

23 Feb 2021 17:52:27
My starting 11 for next season
Barkas got to settle in by then.

New RB
New CB
Welsh
Taylor

McGregor
Soro

Forrest
Turnbull
New left winger

Ajeti given a chance.

Believable0 Unbelievable0

23 Feb 2021 18:13:47
ad try sign kenny think he is good at his job.

Agree0 Disagree0

23 Feb 2021 18:13:52
Ajeti can’t play up front himself in a 4-2-3-1 formation.
He’s tried and failed.
Young Welsh will be backup next season.
It will be a major rebuilding process next season.

Agree3 Disagree0

23 Feb 2021 18:31:42
very poor if young welsh is used as back up as he is a great player and will only get better and playing players like him is what we should be doing.

Agree1 Disagree1

23 Feb 2021 19:07:52
Welsh should be part of the squad next season but agree with Buzz that he'll not be first team. He'll get plenty if game time to develop but 2 new CBs needed. Or get Ajer to extend and build a partnership with a new guy.

Agree2 Disagree0

23 Feb 2021 19:35:02
i think that's the first thing the new manager should do bubs try get ajer to extend.

Agree0 Disagree0

23 Feb 2021 19:45:04
And Barkas will never be our No1. He will be back to Greece or Turkey at end of season. He is rank, despite what his previous form might have been.

Agree1 Disagree0

23 Feb 2021 21:03:18
Defiantly love to see Lewis Ferguson in the middle for us but can't see them going for me.

Agree0 Disagree0

23 Feb 2021 21:23:57
I think Welsh and also Soro are a long way off being the required level. I'm all for them being a part and getting games when required but Brown needs replacing with top quality and an experienced center back is a must.

Agree0 Disagree0

23 Feb 2021 12:40:45
Barkas a think should get next season to prove himself. Maybe with fans in stadium and lockdowns over you might see a better goalie. You can't be Greek international and no have something about you.

Believable0 Unbelievable1

23 Feb 2021 12:49:46
He disproves that. The goalie who never made a save. I could do that for half his wage.

Agree3 Disagree0

23 Feb 2021 12:57:21
He actually lost his Greek Number 1 position this season, before he was dropped for Celtic.
His poor form contributed to him being dropped from his national team in October.

Agree2 Disagree0

23 Feb 2021 13:29:36
A massive 38% of all shots on target have resulted in goals,
when Barkas has been in goals for Celtic in all competitions.
Compare that to the Sevco goalkeepers.
McLaughlin has an impressive 90% save rate in all his games this season.
McGregor’s record isn’t as good as I would’ve expected,
Considering the amount of one on one crucial saves he makes.
McGregor only has a 70% save rate this season in all competitions
That’s also a big 30% of all shots on target are resulting in goals in all competitions.
And it looks like McGregor will win the Scottish Player of the year award.
I actually thought Barkas was finished at Celtic and he would be too big a gamble to take for next season.
But I would still prefer to see him play until the end of the season and the same goes with Welsh, Soro and Ajeti.
Give them all as much game time as possible until the end of the season.

Agree0 Disagree0

23 Feb 2021 14:55:46
You get feel for a player and imo he ain't got it, he's small as well and I've yet to see him communicate never mind make save of any note, . marshal at 35 would have been the better option and cheaper.

Agree0 Disagree0

23 Feb 2021 15:09:08
Mally he is bigger than Bain.

Agree0 Disagree0

23 Feb 2021 15:15:17
Getting rid of Gordon was the first sign of how this season was going to go downhill.

Agree1 Disagree0

23 Feb 2021 15:24:56
Bain is small as well and wouldn't be my no 1 and not sure about hazard either.

Just received a text from my daughter who is a police officer to inform me that the big rumour from the police involvement at Celtic Park that Martinez and Maloney will be the next management team next season. Who knows like every other rumour thought I would pass it on .

Oldkilly
I hope yourself and all of your family are keeping well.
When I spoke to my mum on the phone last week about you, she said she and my dad had a brilliant day at your daughters wedding a few years ago.
Back to the football.
They would both be excellent appointments.
The only problem would be the Euros Final takes place on July 11th and I think Belgium have a good chance of playing in the final.
Celtic enter the CL qualifying round 2 and the first leg is on July 20th.

Agree0 Disagree0

23 Feb 2021 16:26:48
Hi Buzz we are all well thank you and hope you and yours are well, pass on my regards to your mum and dad. With all the rumours doing the rounds I just thought I’d pass the latest one on. Your mum and dad and your aunt Mary and uncle john were at my three daughters weddings, I’m just getting back on my feet after three weddings (only kidding) take care .

Agree1 Disagree0

23 Feb 2021 16:28:32
Buzz July 20th is my birthday and also your aunt Theresa’s.

23 Feb 2021 16:44:09
Craig Gordon was good shot stopper. That it. His fielding was woeful poor at crosses and always hesitant to come out his goals. I was sick of watching him when he in team who could forget his rushes out penalty area and putting attackers up in air No doubt better than what we have but he had flaws In regards question of Forster v boruc Boruc all day for me His save of Saha penalty in top 5 loudest noise ever heard in paradise for me.

Agree0 Disagree0

23 Feb 2021 17:05:24
That’s good Oldkilly, tell them I was asking for them.
My mum was telling me you stay next door to Maureen.
I’ve always been close to my Aunt Mary and Theresa since I was a lad.
I hope your right about Martinez.
He’s currently about 5th favourite @ 10/ 1.
Tell wee Pat and Harry to get their money on it. 👍.

Agree0 Disagree0

23 Feb 2021 17:36:48
Will do Buzz, Pat and Harry will be keeping their money for Cheltenham as will I .

23 Feb 2021 17:55:34
Mally, Barkas is around 6ft 4. That's in no way small.

Agree1 Disagree0

23 Feb 2021 17:58:24
Oldkilly, if that rumour turns out to be true (Martinez and Maloney) I'm sure plenty of the fans would take that in a minute.

Get some Cheltenham tips of Wee shrewd Pat.
When I seen him in the bookies, he seemed to know what he’s doing.
I couldn’t say the same for Harry though,
Don’t tell him I said that.
But I would rather get tips off Timalloy than I would Harry. 😂
My wife Jackie is now counting down the days until Harry and Wullie are serving her and her pals in the boozer.
I think my mum mentioned it was Wullie’s birthday last week.

Agree0 Disagree0

23 Feb 2021 19:40:06
Buzz Wullie was 73 on 6th Feb same day as my middle daughter Kelly.

No thanks.

Agree0 Disagree0

23 Feb 2021 12:20:22
He done fantastic at swansea under difficult circumstances. A young up in coming coach is what's needed. can't be going back to MON or getting Keane. Or worse Kennedy.

Agree0 Disagree0

23 Feb 2021 12:25:13
He's done a great job a Swansea to be fair.

Agree0 Disagree0

23 Feb 2021 16:15:35
Well get them promoted and solidify premiership status then come to Celtic

I’m not knocking what he has done for Swansea as my pal is related to Jay Fulton and has praised him for the work done so far but he hasn’t earned a job at Celtic yet and we need someone more experienced just now

This is just my opinion.

Agree0 Disagree0

23 Feb 2021 11:18:01
Would anyone take MON as DOF and Roy Keane as manager? could be a good combination and would sort out the fitness problems.

Believable0 Unbelievable0

23 Feb 2021 11:41:27
I don’t think Celtic would concede as many goals at set pieces.
MON likes a big strong side, most of his signings were built like tanks.

23 Feb 2021 17:04:09
O'Neil is hand down the best manager we have had in my lifetime. I would take him a a DoF as he is a very shart man and knows the game well.

However, he would not be my first choice. With regards to Keane, this would be a disaster and really set the club back in my opinion. For that reason, I would be raging if he is our next manager.

Agree1 Disagree0

23 Feb 2021 17:59:34
Ragin.

23 Feb 2021 10:16:44
in terms of new manager i think lenny is here till season is over we just have to see seasons out and best we can do is give them a thumping in both games left against them.

as for the BIG rebuild its no as big as what's being made out. the right appointment is all that's needed for new manager and its business usual. just need to look at MON first season worked out after the season before and BR first season for that reason i am happy for the board to take there time on it as long as that right appointment is made when DD personally steps in he makes the big call and he might have did that behind the scenes just now and the new manager wants to wait till summer to come in.

Believable0 Unbelievable0

23 Feb 2021 12:19:11
With loan players, end of contracts and the players wanting to leave how is it not a massive rebuild? This doesn’t include players like Griff that should be punted for his unprofessionalism. Up to 15 players - majority first team squad players will be going and i doubt Eddy or Ajer will stay even if we get a top level coach - it’s not the club they want to leave it’s the monogamous of playing the same teams over and over again in one season and challenging against better players week in week out.

Now the new manager may well go with what youth talent we have left, bring in some players and the odd player like calmac and Turnbull that are happy to be at Celtic - one thing that is certain is that this summer will be a massive rebuild throughout the club.

Agree1 Disagree0

23 Feb 2021 12:30:51
I honestly can't see two thumpings UI, we totally outplayed them in January and still lost and after stringing five wins together, we looked very flat in the last two as we reverted to one striker and Christie; so I would settle for any kind win at Celtic Park, as long as we don't concede any free kicks or corners?!

Agree0 Disagree0

23 Feb 2021 12:39:46
explain MON BR first seasons compared to the seasons before they came.

and yes a new manager will be the difference in who stays and who goes. look how BR got the best out of players who we thought were finished or were not good enough at celtic. it will be up to him who he thinks is good enough and who should get a chance and who should be out the door not us fans you don't decide all that what you says above he will. for me its not a massive rebuild we have the quality there and a proper manager will show that yes we will need signings like every other season you seem to forget most of the players there have been winning trebles you do not be come not good enough just like that. the quality is there we just need to make a proper appointment with a manager.

Agree0 Disagree0

23 Feb 2021 09:44:15
What the board have to remember here is that, we the fans have long long memories, this FIASCO will come back to bite them were it hurts (in the pocket) the board have to remember that they work for us (the fans) as one great man said football without fans is nothing.

Believable0 Unbelievable0

23 Feb 2021 12:29:22
It's the whole board that needs changed with Lenny going. He wasn't up to it, but they appointed him and worse, kept him when it was clear he was destroying us. How they can simply carry on is a joke. Lawell isn't the only one needing to empty his desk. They all do. I wonder if there are any other jobs where looking at your shoes is the main skill. If there are, they will do very well.

To qualify for the group stages of the CL next season will be harder because Celtic won’t be going down the easier Champions route.
Although we go straight into round 2,
As it stands we would be facing either Sparta Prague, Rapid Vienna or Midjylland.
It looks like Celtic will be unseeded for rounds 3&4.
Celtic could then face 2 clubs from PSV, Besiktas, Lyon, Benfica, CSKA Moscow or Shakhter Donetsk.
Those would be on current standings.

Europa for us then going by the last few attempts.

Agree1 Disagree0

23 Feb 2021 08:11:34
Practically every single year under PL we've left it far too late in the Summer transfer window to bring in the players necessary to help us qualify for the CL group stages because he hedged his bets, every year.

Realistically I don't expect us to be anywhere the CL group stages next season and would be happy with a good run in the Europa League.

Agree2 Disagree0

23 Feb 2021 09:19:02
Pedro71, this is our worst team for many years as far as performances are concerned. What makes you think it is even possible to have a 'good run in the Europa League' when our club has fallen apart in Europe for many years with a very occasional and rare exception? HH.

Agree1 Disagree0

23 Feb 2021 09:48:46
bestybhoy, faith and hope along with a D. O. F. new manager and a fresh squad of players well trained and hungry to ensure the shambles of this season is not repeated.

Agree0 Disagree0

23 Feb 2021 10:09:42
If the club don’t get their finger out and get a DOF appointed, get a new management team in we can absolutely forget champions league football. We’re notorious for getting business done late in every window and until that changes we’ll always be pissing into the wind. With the amount of changes in playing terms it’s going to take a manager of vast experience to bring a team together quickly and hit the ground running. Now isn’t the time for project managers.

Agree0 Disagree0

23 Feb 2021 12:37:19
Under Lawell, we have failed 9 times out of the last 12. He and his dithering and cheapskate approach has caused that. Hooefully if we get new people in possession of two testicles and realise if we get the CL cash we move forward in many ways, then our continued humiliation in Europe will continue. Lawell woukd state we are a CL club, then did nothing to make that BS a reality. A great Businessman doesn't miss the greatest financial opportunity 75% of the time. He did. Ask yourself this. Name me a year, any year when you felt we were prepared for the qualifiers? Can't think of one? Me neither. That's Lawell to a tee. Too late, or we sign duds, who aren't even fit to help. We fail to prepare, so we fail.
