Ed one of my mates is saying broonie is donating all the money from his testimonial game to wee Liam millers family, am not normally in favour of testimonials these days but on this occasion Al be there given this news. Unbelievable gesture from our captain.

{Ed007's Note - All the money is going to different charities and some of it will go to Liam Miller's family, Steph.}

Is the game against an Ireland 11
Should be a great day.

{Ed007's Note - Get Welshy to get you a ticket in the standing section, Leahy.}

26 Mar 2018 22:32:59
certainly is Leahy brother get yourself over with the rest of the Cork Brigade.

26 Mar 2018 22:54:56
I might just go over for that. the last Celtic game I was at was a friendly as well. In Dublin a couple of years ago against Barcelona.

27 Mar 2018 00:24:29

27 Mar 2018 01:48:06

1st time poster and thought it would be worth a mention with all the talk off a exodus next season that next seasons transfer window could be the most important in regards to the boards plans and ambitions ie if we sell Sinclair Rogic Armstrong and don’t replace them with similar or hopefully better quality then imo it’ll be really disappointing as I really want us to have a real go in the CL group stages if/ when we qualify

Hopefully we’ll sign McGinn, bring in a new quality CB and RB A more creative Midfielder in the Centre off the park and 2 quality wingers that are CL quality also think we should look into signing Edouard on a permanent could be a real coup of we do with the price being rumored wouldn’t say no to a younger bettter keeper for the future aswell and get rid of ddv anyway here’s hoping! . HH.

@EIChris04 welcome aboard good first post.

26 Mar 2018 21:33:02
Totally agree mate. The next one is the most important on our way to 10 in a row.
Everyone is staying we need defenders but wingers are priority. Paddy Roberts just needs signed up, would be a massive statement.
I think buying mcginn is key as how is only replacement I can see for broony atm. Its worth the risk to see how he does.
This summer is a huge one. But we could keep Brendan, sign paddy and add quality. Fingers crossed.

26 Mar 2018 22:13:13
The next game is the most important for any football club
Similarly the next transfer is the most important window .

26 Mar 2018 12:01:28
Guys I know it is press talk, but the rumours are gathering that Sinclair wants back to England, and Brighton among other teams are interested.
So the question is do we sell him? His first season he was on fire, this season he has only played in fits and starts but has STILL scored 17 goals in all compettions not a bad return for someone "off form"
He cost us £3.5m, what price do you think we would get £5m+, or hopefully nearer £10m
Remember also we have Musonda next season who can play in his position as well as the boy Morgan coming in and also Hayes should be fir next season also, so we already have THREE players ready and able to step in, on our payroll.

26 Mar 2018 12:15:26
Tim, if he wants to go let him go (if the rumours are true) . I don't want an unhappy player at the club.
I still think we'll get a good Fee for him. Even a club like Brighton won't bat an eyelid at paying £10m for him. You never know we might get a bidding war going between some of the middle to bottom EPL clubs for his services.

26 Mar 2018 12:24:29
I can't see any team willing to spend close to £10M for him Tim. He hasn't really improved his game since he came here and his sell-on value will be lower now due to him being older. Maybe 4 or 5.

26 Mar 2018 12:29:55
Heard rumours of personal problems are floating about.
It will be more than 5 million he goes for if he does.

26 Mar 2018 12:38:14
If it's family reasons then let him go would rather he stayed but no one wants a unhappy player at there team.

26 Mar 2018 13:00:58
We have a possible exodus in the summer. with rogic Armstrong and Sinclair "wanting away" alongside boyata shevvy and simo who have also been linked with moves away . realistically if they all left how much would you be happy to get for them as a job lot? . 20-25 million? . add to that our major asset dembele whis is always linked away all included excess of 40 million? That would be a healthy amount for rodgers to up the quality of incoming signings then the players who won't command a first team place unless major injuries ie ddv biton Allen gamboa and cifti need moved on if possible . (Offer hibs these ones straight swap for mginn😁) . out of them all imo dembele is the one who is a first choice pick for br and would be hardest to replace but with the money coming in not irreplaceable . no matter who or how many go it's an interesting summer window ahead.

26 Mar 2018 13:35:35
his mrs is alone down south having complications with her pregnancy that's how he wants away.

{Ed007's Note - Sorry James but that's simply not true. She had a few rough weeks very early in the pregnancy but she's full recovered and I doubt she would have risked flying to Dubai to celebrate Sinclair's birthday yesterday if she was ill or having complications at 6/7 months pregnant. His Mrs only stays in Manchester for 2 nights a week (3 days filming) and is in Glasgow the rest of the time where the plans are in place for the birth.

If Sinclair goes then a first team player must be signed as a replacement, Hayes and Morgan can’t lace his boots and so far Musonda looks out of his depth in our league mainly due to the physicality - far too lightweight.

26 Mar 2018 14:02:29
she said she has had a bad time due to complications in her pregnancy in the interview i read, i think it was in the manchester evening news.

{Ed007's Note - She fell ill in November and the MEN article was taken from an interview she done for OK magazine the following month.

"I have just been really poorly. I couldn't go into work and do any filming. I had hyperemesis gravidarum; it lasted for five weeks. It doesn't sound like a long time but I was just so ill. Luckily it cleared up at 10 weeks. I know some women have a horrific time and end up in hospital for nine months, so I was lucky, but it was horrendous.
I did end up having to go to hospital here in GLASGOW. I was there for a good few hours and they put me on a drip.
I had some scans, fluids and anti-sickness injections. I was so poorly at this point and was prescribed some tablets. There was some concern that I might be having an ectopic pregnancy, but I'd actually got a water infection."

I hope this is bølløcks. Mind he has had to deal with a bunch of racist abuse too--that ain't nothing.

{Ed007's Note - I'm filing it under garbage, Cav.}

26 Mar 2018 14:30:54
i hope so cav he's been fantastic for us.

26 Mar 2018 14:36:28
sell him and take a profit, maybe 5 mill do for us, other players will get the goals.

26 Mar 2018 15:19:18
Would like him to stay he's vital for CL qualification.

26 Mar 2018 15:25:08
International break - Scotland are uninteresting and unimportant, so let's keep deflecting the new clubs financial meltdown crisis and find something negative, disruptive and distracting about Celtic.
S S D D as they used to say.

26 Mar 2018 17:11:33
Jamesbhoy talking absolute nonsense again.

26 Mar 2018 17:40:07
As usual OaB spouting a load of sense there (Y)

26 Mar 2018 18:18:21
thats what the lassie said, as usual gerry you're another clown whos just a bit jealous i get stories from 2 family friends on the coaching staff, but the one about her i read in the manchester evening news which i read on a regular basis for manchester united news, but i can find out from them again, but that would make you a bit jealous for some reason, its no secret the boy is unsettled he loves it here but family comes first good luck to the boy whatever he decides.

26 Mar 2018 18:54:22
Would be gutted to see sinky got to be honest! But it’s quite clear to see there’s been something affecting his game, and there might just be something in these rumours! But I hope his family life settles down and he gets back to the form of last season, when he was absolutely outstanding! Still our top goal scorer despite his loss of form and lack of games! He’s a quality player and we can’t afford to be losing players like that! Think this summer will be massive for us, with so many players being linked with moving on! Rogic sinky Armstrong, paddy and Odsonne heaving back to there clubs, that’s a huge part of our creativity there! Just hope it’s players like boyata bitton jozo de Vries that are moved on and not the others I mentioned!

26 Mar 2018 19:50:28
Haha you live an absolute fantasy Jamesbhoy.

26 Mar 2018 20:16:19
I'm still gutted we missed out on Mohamed Elyounoussi. At Basel now a
and was ripping it up against
City couple of weeks back. Probably financially out our reach now but makes you think. RD wanted him and was dealt with Kazim Richards.

26 Mar 2018 20:36:02
naw gerry its all the truth i even had a friends son sub keeper at ibrox its not what you know its who you know, the clydebank murphia.

26 Mar 2018 22:22:06
I like S Sinclair and I think it might be a good idea if we give him applause and encouragement the next time he is playing . I know a few are giving him a bit of rough treatment and we can cancel them out . It won't do any harm, everyone needs to feel wanted.
