25 Aug 2010 19:38:13Ach don't worry about the dark side they are just bitter and twisted. . Like yesterdays dig about my claiming we had scored more goals maybe i should have done the maths for him and also said that we haven't had anyscored against us. . If they don't like getting called current buns then comments like yesterdays cracker Earl Haigs we wouldn't bother but anyway. . Onwards and upwards for us lot. . Why the hell do we want Chris eagles where is he gonna play? Theres a young lad there more than capable as we have all seen. . I would say we don't need him and its a rumour be made up to wind up the dark side up. . If you look at the teams we are putting out at the moment we look pretty good and will only get stronger. . Celtic till i die. .

Exactly and with mccourt coming off the bench last week would make eagles further down the peking order, btw he won't come he signed a new contract today. No more midfielders a striker and a defender but im already happy with the team we have got.

Robbie Keane has got to leave Spurs. Even a one legged Defoe gets a game before him. Not too sure if Celtic will be his destination but i hope it is.

He would bag double the goals he did last season with Juarez and Kayal in the team to supply him.

Bring back Keano!

Why do people keep quoting odds from bookies are use that thick, c'mon guys use for real. bookies odds, all odds mean is people are beating on a player joining a club, that means nothing. not one thing lads. that's like celtic are 2/1 to win tommorow and eturetch are 5/1 so that means celtic will win lol. bookies don't know nothing except put a bet on that you ask them? christ get a grip so stop quoting odds means nothings?

p.s celtic will win tomorrow nite though, mon the hoops

25 Aug 2010 19:55:26
For al these people on about keane to celtic, as if, im a hoops fan and woulld love it, but his wages to high, and he not going to take a wage cut, ok transfer we can afford, but wages to no, same as all these rumours about given, why the hell are we going to bring in given when just got forster come on lads, and for those on about keane left out because joining us, well if use knew anything, as you are so in the know as use say so often NOT LMAO, why the hell don't you know he had a knock, and that is why he is on bench? . not because joining celtic, but because he has a KNOCK?. at least try and be releastic eh lads?. not going to happen.

25 Aug 2010 19:48:09

To the guy who posted:

U should see some of the rumours on the ibrox site that robinho, pavlychenko, hutton are going to rangers wot a JOKE! ! there is one signing there trying to tie up before transfer day is mr blobby but the wages are a stumbling block. . . . . .

Eh mate have you looked at some of the names bein thrown around on the ceptic pages. Difference is its the ceptic management who start most these rumours to sell season tickets coz you all jumped ship after last season.

To the chill pill fella. Totally agree. I call the blue lot ORCS and their home is and always will be MORDOR. Even down here in Bradford, I have suffered from sectarian abuse, this after an hour talking to a bloke, getting on, until he realised I was a Tim. Keep racism and sectarianism out of the game. I don't hate brits or protestants. I hate Orcs. The team and their followers. But once the game is over, if they're willing to get along with me, then I'm more than happy to chill with them.

I personally would love a big name striker but honestly can't see it happening they wouldn't want to play in spl (although we are in the top 5 biggest teams in britain without a doubt) the only striker being seriously considered at the moment is robert earnshaw from not forest

The future of the Old Firm is buy to sell-

2011 Values

Suarez £7m
Kayal £5.5m
Ledley £6.5m
Hooper £3.5m

Value increase of almost £16m

No shame in this practice, just a reflection of Scottish Football.

Quick response - to help try and put this particular "flaming" thread to bed.

(1) I don't condone the use of any derogatory terms by either set of supporters "Currant Buns, Knuckledraggers, Silly Billys, and acouple of occasions DOB's" all of which to be condemned without reservation. Do you condemn the equivalent terms used for Celtic fans?
(2) Where does "Dozy Declans" come from, or is the latest pseudonym for calling all Celtic fans Irish Catholics? Be clever about it and find fun nick names for other sets of supporters that don't have unsubtle racial overtones. Or did you not see anything wrong with the singing of the famine song?
(3) Should I ask you for definitive information on all future transfer dealings? I used a source, I named it and I qualified it. If you want to challenge the source do it but address the whole question.
(4) I'm finding the constant references to Keane, Given etc a bit tedious, especially when statements made that supposedly indicate that players are in talks. If Celtic had signed all of the "definite" rumours we would have a squad of around 100 players, but I don't doubt similar stories abound on other teams rumour/banter sites.

Referee for Celtic v Utrecht game is Spanish ref Carlos Carballo, in spanish games he averages 6 yellow cards per game, In the 8 European games he has been in charge of, so far he has shown 30 yellow cards, and has awarded 6 penaltys, Will the Utrecht team use this to there advantage, and dive at every opportunity.?

25 Aug 2010 14:57:59
Aw Diddums is easily offended, out comes the "racially motivated " card!listen your fellow ilk can call Rangers fans, on here and on our pages. . Currant Buns, Knuckledraggers, Silly Billys, and acouple of occasions DOB's, so what? your called. Dozy Declans and your feelings are hurt, grow up ffs, your raging and your petted lip is showing, because somebody has pulled you and other posters on here about the fabricated transfers/fees/figures, stop moaning and grow a pair.

I seriously doubt any talks for keane will begin until after tonight's game at the earliest. They want fabiano and now that sevilla are out of the champions league, he will presumably wait to see if spurs progress. If they do then they get much more money to get the striker they want meaning keane will be a bench player again, the reason why he left in the first place last season.

How interesting our friends from the dark side spend so much time looking at Celtic pages.The comparisons I put on earlier were intended for a broad brush comparison of spending and receipts. Ultimately not all cash goes out or in in the one go, but by the same token that would be true of other transfers made in previous seasons, of which no-one outwith the player, clubs and agents are aware of the specific details.

Also please note that the derogatory and (I would suggest) racially motivated terms used by some posters need more careful vetting. I don't condone it by supporters of any persuasion, but why people find it necessary to do it says more about the individual posting than anything else.

Let's have banter and keep it banter and fun.

Rangers, 45000 on flag day.
Celtic, nightmare season, 46000.
So when you break it down, celtic had more fans at home than rangers, Walter must be so proud, lowest crowd in rangers history on flag day.

dont u just wish that some tims were educated . . at least some of them !

it was closer to 46000 at ibrox on opening day. when u take into consideration that Kilmarnock didn't use up their full allocation and the segregated seats that would have been 47500. which would be around 95% full (before you go into media seats and sponsors seats not being filled) it aint to bad EVEN if we take the celtic capacity up to 48000 for the same reasons its 80% full . . its just a pity that only the gers fans will get this due to the maths involved !
the average EPL attendance for last year was 91.4% for some persepective.

Oh you "Dozy Declans" on here, read and weep!

McGeady - Spartak - £9.5m. .The Spartak president stated on their site/Russian media, the fee was £5.5m? plus £4m additions DEPENDING on appearances over the length of his contact, McGeady will not last 2 years never mind the rest , lol, so no £9.5m, so the debt rises, Reid has lied to you again!

Boruc to Fiorentina - £1.7m. .not £2.4m, more lies,

Fortune to WBA - you want £3, m, get a grip,

Burnley have offered Eagles a new contract, SSN, so why would they only accept £1m for Eagles from Selltic, when they previously stated £1.5m/2m was their price, which was agreed with Rangers, the only stumbling block was Rangers would'nt pay him £20k+bonuses, so then told him to GTF, and now the very same Declans that said he was unknown and crap, are now creaming them selves over the prospect of him joining the midden mob,

What Thunder. . . . . . FAIL FAIL

Rangers, champions attendance, 45000 on flag day.
Celtic, nightmare season, out of cl, attendance 46000, feel free to explain,

Re: ok then, it was actually closer to 46000 but taking your 45k figure would lead. killie were allocated 800 tickets for the game (corner holds just over 1500)

so wen u break it down the gers filled up 94% of the stadium, celtics figure would have been around the 76% mark.

lennon must be proud that's prob one of the poorest turnouts for a new managers first full season in celtics recent history !

I thought it might be helpful to illustrate the transfers that we know have occurred with Celtic so far this season, and perhaps inform the question as to whether there is still money to spend at Parkhead or not.

Transfers Out

Date Player To Fee Source
02-Aug-10 Simon Ferry Swindon Town £175,000

02-Jul-10 Cha Du Ri SC Freiburg Bosman
12-Jul-10 Joe Ledley Cardiff City Bosman
16-Jul-10 Daryl Murphy Sunderland £1, 500,000
26-Jul-10 Efraín Juárez UNAM Pumas £3,000,000
27-Jul-10 Gary Hooper Sc* thorpe £2, 400,000
29-Jul-10 Biram Kayal Maccabi Haifa £1, 200,000
16-Aug-10 Daniel Majstorović AEK Athens F.C. Bosman
18-Aug-10 Emilio Izaguirre Motagua £500,000
24-Aug-10 Fraser Forster Newcastle United Loan


Total £8, 600,000

Data from Wikipedia which I accept is not the most reliable, however the figures quoted are I think reasonable. the important thing is that the club has a net gain of around £5.5m pounds on transfer activity, and has substantially moved high earners off the wage bill.

I would suggest that there is:

(a) Substantial transfer funds still available which is not dependent on European progression, though that doubtless will help
(b) The wage bill is likely to be lower now that it was last season, so money is available for wages

I think you could make an arguement that the funding is in place for the "big splash" transfer deal which has been discussed ad nauseum on here and in other places. Whether it happens or not remains to be seen. .

There is always hope - it's why we love the game!

Why people saying given to celtic use mad, we just signed a keeper today on loan, we aint going to sign another keeper, as we will have 4 keepers in first team, come on guys, aint going to happen now?

four first team goalkeepers what celtic team are you supporting . . . celtic have 3 goalkeepers and cervi has made 3appereances for celtic so you can hardly call that first team you are obviously a rangers supporter stick to your page and we will stick to ours

oh and ed i read a couple of articles on newsnow:celtic that we are trying to loan italian international keeper marchetti with an option to buy next seaosn for 5million is there anything in this or is it just paper talk?
{Editor's note - Is probably just paper talk}
