Just a wee heads up

Freesports are showing a lot of european league football.
Tonight it is the Lisbon derby
Benfica v Sporting ko 7.00pm.

25 Aug 2018 19:39:56
Cracking top the Sporting Lisbon top TIM. Had one years ago. Do you know where the term TIM came from?

25 Aug 2018 20:39:20
@JFP1888 say 3 hail mary's and do some other pennance.
Do you think maybe, perhaps there is a wee clue in my tag "Timalloy"
The "Timalloys" were formed in the Calton as the Catholic alternative to the "Billy Boys"
Over time the word got shortened to just "TIM" a term for a Catholic in that area of Glasgow and is now universal.

25 Aug 2018 21:12:30
Thanks TIM. The term TIM was coined by the Scottish press at the time of the famine to express the disdain of Scottish Protestants at the influx of Irish Catholics or the The Irish Migrant which gave rise to the acronym TIM to save ink and letters. So get yourself to confession and I’ll come as well TIM! ☘️👍.

25 Aug 2018 21:32:05
Yes JFP a lot of different accounts. But I agree about the term "Tim" being used as an insult, but typically we took it on board as a sense of Pride in where we came from hail hail Mary lol.

OE out for another while dembeles head will be turned and ntcham will be away before Friday how did it get so bad and its only going to worse with the sound of. Can't for the life of me think how the boards got it so wrong and BR always shouting "quality" wee can't afford the "quality" he craves or wants. Not seen so many negative posts so I can't be the only one that's noticed some fans in here saying about not getting a results against acces my god has this got bad if wee signed the players wee were linked with wee would be miles ahead but NAW no investment means bad investment plus don't know how were going to pay 75 mil in wages this year but if OE MD ON leave this season will take that down abit wee need to get cheap players make them great sell on for good profit n that will help our finances n don't know if it's true but parkhead needs major work done on it anybody else heard this hopefully get a few signings in by Friday cheers us lot up.

25 Aug 2018 17:15:06
We echo your tag GEEUSFEKINPEECE.

25 Aug 2018 17:27:07
And I thought I was the site pisshead.

25 Aug 2018 18:01:47
Another gullible getting too excited😂😂😂.

25 Aug 2018 18:13:27
Geezpeece is a troll. He said on another thread we shouldn’t sign any centre halves and should give Boyata a second chance. When you lot are pumped out of Europe followed by another hunskelping 3 days later, you’ll soon go back into hiding and normal service will have been resumed.

25 Aug 2018 19:33:47
What a lot of Colin Nish. Win Thursday Sunday it's all forgotten.

25 Aug 2018 20:23:54
Don't win thurs or sun and it gets worse nialldo 88, I just don't get how some people can be so arrogant,
If they beat us it will be bedlam on here. We need to sort the defence ASAP ☘HH.

25 Aug 2018 23:30:20
This GEEZPEECE guy is surely an imposter! Get rid of French eddy, the hunskelper and ntcham? Surely this is a bam up. Get aff the swally and whatever else it is your on son. The most ridiculous post I've ever read on this site (and there's been a few)

25 Aug 2018 14:29:15
City just drew with Wolves, Pep Guardiola should be sacked as they won't win another game this year, sack the board too!

25 Aug 2018 15:00:14
Watched that game. Wolves looked alright. The defender Boly they have. Is that the guy we were in for a few years back from Auxerre?

25 Aug 2018 16:01:46
Do you think if we ask nice City will loan us that boy Laporte and maybe Kompany for a season or two. Maybe they eill throw in that RB also.

25 Aug 2018 14:01:05
Last day of York, let's try and make some dosh. Put my horses up on the Football Rumours bet page already but
best bet should be in York 3.00
Expert Eye 11/ 10
A couple of bigger price horses are
York 3.40 Mustajeer 33/ 1 (sly paying 7 places)
Goodwood 3.15 Truth or Dare 14/ 1 (sly going 5 places)
Do each way singles and each way double.

25 Aug 2018 17:16:47
Well a nice little profit
My favourite romped home and one of my big outsiders was placed at 33/ 1.

25 Aug 2018 13:19:09
The silence is deafening . is no news good news or are we going to be dissapointed with no new signings . i for 1 can't wait till this window shuts as its doing my nut in . i think we have been let down badly so far but even if that's the case at the window end i still think we have enough to win the league after 38 games but also if that's the case then brendan will walk at the end of the season imo . any1 with any rumours is welcome btw as i hate hearing my own thots . hail hail.

25 Aug 2018 20:21:38
honestly think we will be left disapointed : (.

25 Aug 2018 21:08:09
We could have our lot, but I don't think B R or PL come out of this well. B R was more than satisfied with the 5 players who came in Jan .
Many think these five were a waste of money . Unless Board has told P L not to buy more until we get rid of most of the 5 then he must try to bring in the players B R requests .
We cannot continue if it is thought Brendan and Peter don't have a good working relationship.

25 Aug 2018 10:35:08
Can’t believe some of the posts on here. Windows not been great no doubt about that. Defence been vilified for bad mistakes I get that too. But come on bhoys this team win back to back trebles and are having a dip in form when back firing we will wipe the floor with all in front of us in the league. Who cares what’s going on with the manky mob let them get on with it they don’t define us.
Looking forward to tomorrow hopefully put a market down cos someone’s going to take a hiding when we get going.
Mon the hoops 🍀.

25 Aug 2018 11:29:37
Welshybhoy it’s depressing stuff on here. Hope BR doesn’t read banter page or he’ll need talked down off the main stand roof. It’s disappointing not to have freshened up the squad and going out Champions League but it is what it is. Brendan’s demeanour is concerning though and I think him and the rest of us have been let down by the board. It looks so far like the Govanites are better prepared than last year but only time will tell and we’re not firing on all cylinders yet. Add that to our central defensive issues and Brown being suspended particularly as battle was lost in midfield the other night means the 2nd of September is no foregone conclusion. The plan must be to play to our strengths and take the game to them as (1) we’ve got the best front three players we’ve had in a long time and (2) the worst central defence in my time watching Celtic. The league will be won or lost over a season and we’re not out of August yet. Keep the Faith!

25 Aug 2018 12:11:54
Am I missing something, how is brown suspended? I admire your positivity welshy I really do mate. but somethings just not rite the now from the board down to the team. this transfer window has been an absolute disaster and I don’t think anyone of us can honestly say that from now til the window shuts its going to get any better. we have a squad that was badly needin freshened up and a defence that was needing overhauled and none of that has happened! We’ve went stale and again shot ourselves in the foot from a fantastic position of power! The board has and always will take us fans for granted and I for one am sick of it! We’ve the best manager we’ve had in a long time and he’s got one arm tied behind his back! And it would not surprise me in the slightest if the guy walked at the end of this season, because let’s face it we’ll be back in the exact same position this time next year to! Because if we’re not willing to back the manager after 6 trophies in a row then we never will! My support for Celtic will never go away, but I cannot say the same for clowns in our boardroom! Arrogance and utter incompetence has led to this and like I said, I’m sick of it!

25 Aug 2018 12:11:55
It's been a shaky start - defensively especially - with the Boyata farce added to the disappointment of missing out on new arrivals and going out of the CL; however, it is still only August and if the players start to perform as they can, we will get back on track.
My main concern, is a goalkeeper and defense that ANY opponent we play against can score and until the forward players start to create and score the way we know they will, it gives opposition confidence.
Big Jock had a philosophy of ensuring our priority was to score more than the other team and that would suit all of us right now.

25 Aug 2018 12:15:01
WB I agree with you although the defensive mistakes against aek home&away and against partick&suduva are worrying however I'll always get behind the bhoys I think many of us comment on here to soon after a poor display maybe we should give it 24 hours before we comment just so the emotions are calmed down hh bhoys.

25 Aug 2018 13:07:53
When did Brown get suspended? He would of got suspended if anything had come of the incident with the rat but it didnt.

25 Aug 2018 14:28:03
Before the end of last season Boyota should have had an ultimatum sign the new contract or be sold. Then we could have got a centre half in for the champions league qualifiers. To lose 9million is just poor management if we keep a player who doesn’t want to be here, and we force him to stay. Also if we spent the whole transfer kitty on Edouard is just plain bonkers, understand Edouard transfer if Dembele was getting sold.

25 Aug 2018 10:05:36
what about bringin John Terry in?
it's well known he likes the club, massively experienced and a winner. could be just what we need to sort out that defence right now.
I also think we could do a lot worse than bring in the likes of James Morrison (whos has fallen out of the first team at West Brom this season)

25 Aug 2018 10:34:59
Have We not learned our lesson in bringing in old players that use to be great.
He's 37 0r 38 and turns like the titanic.

25 Aug 2018 10:35:14
Id rather have the rubbish defense we have now than let that horrible excuse of a human near our club!

25 Aug 2018 12:13:44
If Terry comes up here no players wife's will be safe. He would cause mayhem up here cause he can't keep it in his pants. Scumbag of a man.

27 Aug 2018 01:00:44
morrison favours the new club.

25 Aug 2018 09:37:23
Cards on the table time for BR at Celtic, 3 home games in a row and we won't win them all, this team are weak and have no guts, we will likely beat accies on sunday but can see us dropping points to Suduva and them next sunday. As for the last week of the window we will be lucky to see 1 or 2 incomings and you can bet yer arse 1 of them will be a loan from City. my prediction is BR will walk before the end of the season.

25 Aug 2018 09:49:26
Are you serious,
This team is weak . It's still the same squad that won the double treble minus 2 players who spent a large part of last season out injured.
We haven't started too great at the back but once we settle I believe we will get back to our winning ways .
Look at our pre season the manager worked on another formation based on doumbele and Eddie up front which looked good but one or the other has been injured.
Give us a chance to get our feet back on the ground .
Too much misery coming from the fans just now all being driven by the media.

25 Aug 2018 09:55:40
Drop points to Suduva? Its a qualifier and we will win that. Celtic park as in the fans will make sure that the team win that game. We should beat Hamilton. Logically speaking, unfortunately its the game on the 2nd that worries me the most, the whole game as a whole is a different type, none like it, they will be fired up and we need to be so much better than we have been at the start of this season. I honestly think absolutely no one will come in and my gut tells me there is something going on behind the scenes and its all about to end in tears.

25 Aug 2018 10:01:18
Nice cheery post from the grim reaper jeez.

25 Aug 2018 10:08:44
Inthejungle, you don't know how spot on you are and it may end in tears very soon.

25 Aug 2018 10:54:11
Cheers Johnnymac mate HH.

25 Aug 2018 12:18:43
I think th they will be dangerous but if we have MD and OE upfront they won't cope and we will raise our game no problem but can they.

25 Aug 2018 13:17:02
MD and OE is key to us winning the league again. If we can keep both fit and playing together then we will win a lot of those games we drew last season. With Hamilton and Suduva next at home we should boost confidence by battering both of those and hopefully we will see the arrival of 3-4 quality signings (As expected by BR) to give us a boost going in to the hunskelping. Just a shame as if reports are true about BR wanting McGinn, Schar and Piccini that would've been most our issues sorted long ago.

25 Aug 2018 19:02:43
In response to my error. yes i am aware its a qualifier and meant i think we could come unstuck because like the Newcastle of keegans time the front players need to score 3 or 4 to account for the fact our defenders and rubbish keeper couldn’t keep a clean sheet if their lives depended on it. i also believe the orcs will take 1 or god forbid all 3 points next sunday. The fact people reference back to dbl treble winners etc etc. i wint be blinded to think this team is capable of stepping back up to the plate this time around. spineless persons the lot of them. if as i expect the board don't give BR the players he has been crying out for. we will be looking for a new manager. long before the bext window arrives.

25 Aug 2018 23:03:22
It's annoying to hear people just assume because we done it last 2 seasons it's our God forbidden right to do it again. The teams soft in defence. Gordon can't be trusted we've weakened midfield and the injury crisis up front is concerning as I'd the fact we can't finish teams off or breakdown packed defences. Ifor we play like we can then we should take some beating but we don't often play like that and too many passive games last season where we didn't have intensity or missed too many chances can happen just the same as this season unless somethings done about it and the teams freshened up. Way too many players not good enough or surplus and will be wage thieves surely we can off load and generate some money to get in decent players. I agree with you PFB especially with the cut throat EPL it'll only be a matter of time before someone sacks their manager and enquires about BR. And if he feels like he hasn't been backed and took us as far as he can then he'll leave.

25 Aug 2018 08:46:18
Is Broon suspended for 2nd September?

25 Aug 2018 10:36:18
Don't think so jfp.

25 Aug 2018 13:47:53
If Broon is one yellow card away, then Rogers should rest him, we all know what will happen if the red has a chance to help his team out. We shouldn’t play into their hands and if we can deal with The Accies without him we are in real trouble.

25 Aug 2018 01:58:52
i doubt it but for the sake of argument. what if we lost to the freakshow? how would we the fans deal with it? go for it.

25 Aug 2018 08:36:14
I'm hoping there's a serious fan turn against the board. It's not ideal but start boycotting home matches.

25 Aug 2018 08:48:51
Why are you putting them on some sort of duelling level with us? If we lose it will be points dropped against a team in our league. It would be poor because they have strengthened the team while we have not. let's all remember this is not rangers (IL) they died.

25 Aug 2018 09:12:18
Sorry but suggesting to boycott home matches is a disgrace! what good would that do? its times like this we should do the actual opposite, pack the place out, show the players we are right behind them and spur them on. that's what real celtic fans do! we've just done a double double! its a minor bump in the road and the transfer window isn't closed yet. just you watch, after the old firm game the tune will drastically change it will be the reality check Sevco and a lot of our fans actually need!

25 Aug 2018 09:26:01
MJMD I will tell you what is a disgrace - using that tag.

{Ed001's Note - what is it? I am never good at figuring out initials and Ed007 is not about to check them with. He might not be about a bit as he is dealing with a family bereavement at the moment, so I will need to rely on you lot to point out any thing that is out of order.}

25 Aug 2018 09:49:27
paythefacepainter what's wrong with my tag?
its just my initials with 67 at the end? lol have i missed somethin?

25 Aug 2018 10:40:36
Think he meant calling it an “old firm” game, it’s a Glasgow derby😉.

25 Aug 2018 13:26:47
We should never boycott the games. We should give the board pelters thoughvwhikst at it if they don’t get in defenders. They aren’t accountable for their actions, we have no power other than vocally kettubgvrhem know their dithering kacknif ambition is a betrayal of us all. It’s not Compère, or Hendry, or Siimo’s fault, it’s who bought them and who failed to replace them. Nobody is the slightest bit surprised our defence fecked us up. That’s the crime here. Buying duds and failing to rectify it is.
