See people are asking what channel the games on tomorrow- if you download mobdro you get three links for premier sports (the HD links a cracker) . I've never streamed it cause I've got an android tv but I tried it on my phone and tablet and it worked well.

Oh well more lack of ambition shown by the board as another deadline passes without a penny spent on a game changing player for this round its the same crap year in year out.

Believable5 Unbelievable0

27 Jul 2016 00:08:22
Agree completely mate, It's so frustrating to see us shoot ourselves in the foot year in year out. Clearly banking on our current squad to do the business as per usual but unless there is something we are missing the board haven't learned their lesson from past campaigns. This is a big gamble.

Agree2 Disagree1

27 Jul 2016 02:22:41
what deadline? oh the one for 1 cl tie. are we supposed to just buy player's that aren't any better than the ones we have as I seem to remember that is what we have done for the last 4 years and see where that has got us. We have already got Dembele and Toure who are a huge improvement on anybody Rd managed to bring in. the real deadline is the 31st August. have some patience boys.

Agree2 Disagree1

27 Jul 2016 03:03:24
Why would a player i've described as a game changing player not be better than the players we've got? I'm obviously describing the type of signing who would be a step up in class from what we have, the type who can deliver a bit of magic in the final third of the pitch, its not as if the money's not there, it clearly is, where have i mentioned buying just for the sake of it?

Hi all been reading site forever (best rumours site by a country mile) but this is my first post . Not celtic related but higuain has moved to juve for €90 million - this is what is wrong with the game, he's a decent player but €90 million is obscene.

Believable2 Unbelievable1

26 Jul 2016 22:51:03
Completely agree mate! And people wonder how Celtic can compete on this crazy market with average players going for 20 mill plus. I reckon we should ditch expensive leagues and pick up players from the likes of the Dutch and Belgian leagues as there are a few players there that are yet to be discovered and bought for 20 million by an overrated English club. Unfortunately with these prices rising and rising, Celtic just can't compete anymore.

Agree3 Disagree1

27 Jul 2016 01:26:01
It's not only the fees paid to the clubs, but also the wages that are grossly obscene
Something like half the EPL players are bankrupt within 5 years of retiring . Many of them don't know how to apply for driving licence renewal and have to pay someone.
A few years ago in Govan a player got badly injured trying to poach an egg .

Agree2 Disagree0

{Ed007's Note - And there's a story kicking about tonight that West Ham Utd have paid Tony Carr, the head of their academy for over 40 years, £14k in redundancy money - the bare legal minimum requirement. Youngsters like Rio Ferdinand, Frank Lampard, Carrick, Joe Cole are only some of the players he worked with and coached, i think it was 10 of the England 2010 World Cup squad had been discoverd and coached by Carr.
West Ham United offered Carlos Tevez £150k a week to return to the club this summer.
Sadly people want to see Celtic involved in that environment.}

26 Jul 2016 21:23:29
Hi fellas I have just been looking at football results for tonights games n see Scott Sinclair played and scored for Villa vs Cambridge UTD! So defo not going to sign him for the dead line to night? Looks like its up to the guys that are already here? The wild card will prob be mulgruw on a 1year deal. We keep being lied to! 😬 Hail Hail😇.

26 Jul 2016 22:08:32
The wild card must be toure Charlie is too injury prone.

Agree0 Disagree1

27 Jul 2016 01:29:04
Charlie is a goner thank God and hopefully Commons will be away this week too.
Charlie got an offer to stay but looked for better, despite all the money in England he can't beat our offer . I think Charlie will finish up with the sheep earning a lot less.

My 3 ex bear pals have clubbed together and put £800 on astana at 6/ 4 hoping for a big payout.
Their bets are worse than mine let's hope their bad luck continues hail hail.

Believable0 Unbelievable6

26 Jul 2016 18:55:39
Always find it stupid when people do that because it's the same as 1 person putting money on. You get the same split. Unless I'm missing something. How does 800 split three ways? If it does pay out there will only be one left to claim because they won't understand how to Calculate the split and kill each other.

Was thinking the same maself there ped. Obviously one is putting in more, they'd have been better off putting 3 separate bets on its less hassle for the same outcome. Ah well let them get on with it. Seems big odds ad have them favourites for wed but us slight favourites for the tie. Unless that's the odds for the tie.

ha ha guys they were trying to wind me up by telling me how much they had put on. 2 put up £300 and 1 £200.
odds tomorrow are 6/ 4 home win, 2/ 1 draw and 85/ 40 Celtic. They are hoping for profit of £1200 (easy divided by 3, but more complicated as one gets less than the other 2, they never could count lol)

@Dafabet where have you been? yes I have been known to have a wee flutter now and again. AS ED007 says go to the betting pages and have a look.
Oh and guys if you really want to wind up your ex bear pals ask them to show you where they listed on the 2016/ 17 UEFA coefficient table or.
ask them to go on to the Apple equivalent of Windows Cortana (the one where you ask it a question) and ask it how old the Govan club is lol
Ps honest the zombies have bombarded Apple with numerous complaints after the answer came back FOUR YEARS ha ha.

Thanks guys I missed it. Ed u still a big CG fan lol. 😊.

{Ed007's Note - Just waiting for his first major blunder of the season although I think he got let off lightly again by the fans for the goal over in Gibraltar because everyone was blaming Ambrose.}

26 Jul 2016 18:46:36
Ed no goalie goes thro a season without a blunder, did u see the euros mate. Hart and Courtois even Neur had a blunder if he in that class I happy lol. :)

{Ed007's Note - I watched a couple of games but didn't pay much attention to it. If those GKs make mistakes what chance has a diddy like Gordon got! Did you see him running about in the RB position against Leicester?

26 Jul 2016 19:08:14
His movement not great will give u that lol.
In Gordon we trust :)

Agree0 Disagree0

26 Jul 2016 21:21:19
I think B R should play Efe Ambrose tomorrow night as he has no Celtic supporters to remove his confidence . Lustig should start along side him and tooth should have covering each other in mind. I believe our opponents play a lot of long balls towards strikers. We need. To be alert.

Agree0 Disagree0

26 Jul 2016 16:59:13
Afternoon Ed / folks,

How do you think we will line up tomorrow night mate?

For me he will either go 3 5 2 or 4 5 1 I think Efe will play but he will play in front of O'Connel and Lustig. Efe more CDM he was bought to play there if he goes with a four @ the back with Efe among in we are leaving ourselves/ himself for a torrid time IMO! (Y)

I think we will play for a no score draw?

Believable2 Unbelievable1

26 Jul 2016 20:07:04
Think we should go 5-3-2 and be dogged and tough to break down.

Agree0 Disagree0

26 Jul 2016 15:27:43
Hi ed if you can look back at a post I posted maybe a week 10 days ago you will see that I suggested we could go into the astana game with a central pairing of a jer and ambrose now ajer is also out so now it's down to the bear bones the reason I posted was a whisper I picked up that Eric would be out until at least the start of the spl season but at the time could not confirm it, now as everyone knows it was true all along, which means the powers that be at Celtic park were well aware of the situation but still continued to draw their feet in transfare dealings, toure should have been brought in the day it became clear Eric was out, to me it's a high risk strategy going into this game with the defence we are left with, they are gambling that the tie will still be alive when Astana come to Celtic park, if this fails then lawwell has a lot of questions to answer, and questions also have to be asked as to just how much support BR really does enjoy it's not the best kept secret that Rodgers was Desmond appointment and that lawwells nose was put out of place, going into this tie we have taken in more money than we have spent, if that's giving BR their full support then something is terribly wrong. Can only hope the players can step up to the mark and put the last 2 years failings behind them, if not then I feel all hell is about to breakout when the fans see we were let down again and lawwell staying to try and get Sinclair over the line won't help him in the slightest.

Groin injury in training mate.

Agree0 Disagree0

26 Jul 2016 21:32:18
Connolly quite a good post I M O until he start going into areas that I think we have no knowledge of . B R obviously gave P L a list of players he wanted in and prioritise them . Tours may or may not have been high up on Rodgers list . We have no idea whether the reason Toura was signed only at weekend was down to P L dithering or Toura not prepared to sign for Celtic previously .
There was another centre half that it was said B R was interested, he wouldn't have solved many problems as he celebrated at length his return from Euroes and won't be in any fit state to play well for quite a while .
We cannot be sure that it is Celtic, fault every time or most times.

Agree0 Disagree0

26 Jul 2016 15:12:17
Can a 'wildcard' signing be added to the squad at any time or does it have to be before the game tomorrow? In other words, could we sign say Sinclair during the week and register him to play in the second leg? Cheers.

Believable0 Unbelievable1

{Ed007's Note - No mate, they'd need to be registered tonight to play in either leg.}

26 Jul 2016 15:18:04
Cheers Ed. I assume Toure will be registered to play in the home leg then?

Agree0 Disagree1

{Ed007's Note - I reckon so but we'll need to register him as the wildcard signing tonight for him to be eligible for the home game.}

26 Jul 2016 17:33:20
cant believe that he ain't registered already, thought he wouldve been considering we needed CB before eriks injury.

Agree0 Disagree0

26 Jul 2016 12:31:39
just been looking up weather forecast in Astana, good news is showers are forecast which should help water the pitch, also these will bring down the temperature to under 20 degrees by time game kicks off.
Bad news is humidity will still be over 90 degrees even in the evening.

We're not buying into that excuse culture according to CD Tim! 2-0 the 'tic.

26 Jul 2016 10:43:48
It looks like we won't be getting a signing in in time for this round, with Erik and Ajer out who goes at the back for you?
I'd go either oconnell, lustig, bitton and play KT lwb
Or I'd go with oconnell, lustig, tierney, both 352.

Be good for dembele to start getting himself on the score board, i know he's good for goals but tomarrow will be a great day to start.

Agree0 Disagree0

26 Jul 2016 13:47:08
Yes it would be, I think dembele has been unfairly criticised since he has come, his hold up play has been very good and in my opinion it's only a matter of time before he ends up scoring.

Agree0 Disagree0

26 Jul 2016 14:00:33
Ge was unlucky not to score against leicester, i don't know how he got a shot in, but just with that i seen a lot of potential and it was a good save from kasper shimichael.

Is Eric definitely out of tomorrow's game?

Believable0 Unbelievable0

26 Jul 2016 09:03:05
According to the DR he didn't travel. Puts a bit of a spanner in the works. Think we'll see Lustig Ajer and O'Connell now as a central 3.

Agree1 Disagree0

26 Jul 2016 09:12:56
Ajer didn't travel either JimTim he's got a thumb injury. I see Lawwell didn't travel either hopefully he's going to open the biscuit tin and bring a couple in.

Morning Bhoys, A bit of a dilemma with no eric for wed, who would you go with?, got to be lustig and oconnell for me, personally wouldn't let efe near the team, just to much off a gamble, on another note why hasn't KT been registered for wed if the staff knew eric was out for 3 weeks?, another def in the pipeline?, or just another gamble that could backfire?

Believable0 Unbelievable2

26 Jul 2016 08:28:05
Lustig and O'Connel all the way but I fear it will be Big Time Charlie and The Bombscare. How many people oust there wouldn't swap Efe for a cleansheet tomorrow? (No fee) Don't care how good he was at the weekend, this game has Efe Moment written all over it.

Agree1 Disagree1

26 Jul 2016 08:34:19
Back 4 of Janko Lustig O'Connell Tierney.

Agree2 Disagree0

26 Jul 2016 08:37:49
I fancy us to get at least one goal tomorrow. I'd take a 1-1 just now probably.

Agree0 Disagree0

26 Jul 2016 09:03:04
Would probably settle for a 2-1 defeat, need to still be in the tie for the return. Hate those type of games seen the same blunders in them time after time, they usually start with conceding early followed by a defensive blunder going down to 10 then conceding a late pen. Seen this movie so many times before its difficult to be optimistic. Heres hoping for a different script tomorrow HH.

Agree0 Disagree0

26 Jul 2016 09:04:48
I have to admit I'm slightly worried regarding tomorrow's game. Going into one of our most important games with an unsettled back four with basically a right back at centre back and either effe or a novice beside him could spell danger. Astana are known to be decent at home and there's been too many cases when we have basically fallen apart in important games to give the players the benefit of the doubt. If we collapse I fear the tie could be over, I appreciate we have been unlucky with injuries but surely we should have signed another centre back before now as everyone knew we wanted defenders.

Agree1 Disagree0

26 Jul 2016 16:15:01
funny how O'Connell's blunders the past two games he played get glossed over but every mistake ambrose has made is in the forefront of some ppl's minds makes me wonder why some are allowed mistakes and others not can anyone tell me? just so i know.

Agree0 Disagree0

26 Jul 2016 16:48:55
Ambrose never got slated after his first 2 blunders either bigD but I think it was after his 32nd he started to get slated. Hope that answers your question.

Agree1 Disagree0

26 Jul 2016 21:38:03
there was me thinking it was because O'Connell is a good Irish Celtic supporter and Ambrose is well. not but Personally i would rather Ambrose played than O'Connell from what i have seen from him he is no where near good enough and yes efe is prone the odd gaff but he still is better than O'Connell.
