Just chatting to my little bhoy and he asked me who I thought player of the year was. I think I've just made a case for virtually everyone!
Who would everyone say?

{Ed007's Note - Broony. Captaining us to a (hopefully) treble and an undefeated season, not to mention the way he has played and dominated the entire game up here considering people were saying he was finished last year.
He's been with us 10 years now and I know there's people that won't like it, even in our own support, but Brown has the chance to make himself a Celtic legend in the coming years, in fact if he becomes just the third captain in our history to lift a Treble I'd have him up there nudging McStay's perch in my own wee Hall of Fame.}

29 Apr 2017 23:07:13
I would give player of the year to BR I know he is not a player before any one steps in but what a difference he has made its nothing more than miraculous and to be honest the full team deserves player of the year for me.

29 Apr 2017 23:25:09
I TOTALLY have to agree with ed. I was asked yesterday by a currant bun in work who my POTY would be, and when I said Brown he looked shocked! 'No Sinclair or Dembele'. naw mate. I actually WATCH fitba'!

{Ed007's Note - It just seems that Brown's been the main cog of our on field successes and he's developed into a top class midfield general. The way he looks after himself there's no reason why he can't play on for years and get even better under Rodgers' tutelage.
Broony's here for 10 in a row!}

29 Apr 2017 23:26:21
I wouldn't disagree at all, but as I said Brown, I also thought how it could be Sinclair, Armstrong, Dembele, Teirney. God, what a season the team have had!

{Ed007's Note - We've had contenders all through the team but for me their leader deserves the plaudits.}

29 Apr 2017 23:51:14
Without doubt Scott Brown Ed. Immense.

30 Apr 2017 00:14:17
Moty awards will take care of BR 😉.
I can see eds point about brown his passing and leadership has went up a level this season. His interviews have been class as well. It's usually the goal getters that have the crown so SS has to be up there- what a signing. Never gave it much thought but broony should pick up at least 1 player or players player.

30 Apr 2017 00:37:53
I think Sinclair just edges it. 25 goals in 22 different games is some record. He turns up every week. No surprise that Dembele had his dip in form when Sinclair was injured. He brings the best out of other players.

30 Apr 2017 00:38:26
I should have said. last season I though Broony was dun! Thought we had good service from him and when BR said he was integral to the team I thought he was putting on a face. I would have taken £3m for him at the start of the season. THANK GOD I KNOW FLOOK ALL! LOL HH!

{Ed007's Note - :-D

30 Apr 2017 11:32:17
A lot of broonys success this year probably stems back to when BR met him during the summer for a chat at his house. BR would of been instilling another level of confidence and self belief. also I think broony seems smarter on the field in terms of position and picking passes might be down to the extra work he's doing on the coaching side of the game.
Long may it continue!

30 Apr 2017 09:21:16
I agree ed, love broonie, I always stuck up for him, but where is the genius who used to slag him and blamed him for everything wrong in the team.

{Ed007's Note - To be fair there have been a few posters gave Brown pelters every season on here.}

30 Apr 2017 09:41:59
No one gets near mcstay for me ed.
Him and my dad are the 2 reason I fell in love with celtic.
But broony has been a great celtic player and a fantastic captain.
He's had his ups and downsee but has always came back stronger with his head high and chest out.
He's my player of the year.
He's our beating heart.

30 Apr 2017 17:22:35
I can't believe he is the same player. He was always decent but he is up another few levels now. Great season for Brown as for so many others as well.

29 Apr 2017 21:36:27
Did anyone notice the BBC stats re possession - they had it at 52/ 48. I guess there will be a drug raid down there.

29 Apr 2017 22:39:03
Yeah saw that, yet Sky had it at 63/ 37 which I actually thought was probably wrong aswell.

29 Apr 2017 23:24:59
That's what I thought, Murdoch! When I saw the BBC stats, I nearly choked!

29 Apr 2017 20:20:06
an honest opinion please bhoys n ghirls .
had a slight difference of opinion whilst watching the game with the family . it concerns the goals scored . the kids and mrs reckoned griffs goal was best . but my outlook was this . 1st goal well taken PK.
2ND great strike from lg but keeper should be doing better .
3rd mcgregor good composte didn't panic . 4th good header can't argue . but for me apart from the fact it was big lustig, his goal was sheer beauty to place it in a corner like he did some off the better strikers don't score these types off goal . put any keeper you like in goal today and his strike can't be saved perfection .

29 apr 2017 20:40:08
my main point is i wonder if they wrecked their own bogs?

29 Apr 2017 21:13:30
hillairious they had two stewards on both sides of the posts at the celtic end to stop celtic players tying scarves to them, pity they couldn't have used the four stewards to catch the racist giving sinclair the monkey chants and the knuckle draggers who threw missiles at the celtic players.

29 Apr 2017 21:26:37
Jb I wanted to wreck the bogs but when I got there I realised someone beat me to it.

29 Apr 2017 21:27:42
Here's one for u walking out the ground wee lassie wi yellow jacket (steward) giving it this is how it feels to be Celtic haha made my day.

29 Apr 2017 20:02:30
Not easy - but who would you say was man of the match? Really tough, but I would probably say Griffiths.

29 Apr 2017 17:25:08
Wonderful performance today.
That tackle from Simunovic was worth, alone, the 5 million that torino were offering.

P. S. Ed, i really appreciate your input, great site.

{Ed007's Note - Thanks mate, you're very welcome.}

29 Apr 2017 19:47:11
How the hell the commentators were saying it was two footed is ridiculous - it was the best tackle I've seen this season! I just wish Griff had scored rather than hitting the bar seconds later.
Boyata was excellent as well.

Hi, ho, hi, ho, it, s off to ten in a row.

29 Apr 2017 16:28:21
Easy job well done today. made easier by Pedro telling sky what his formation was going to be in pre match interview . muppets, all of them.

29 Apr 2017 15:50:06
Over the moon about the performance today but who else thinks we should have really punished them today with more goals and a clean sheet? I've never seen such an easy season against our so called biggest rivals. We have absolutely dominated them!

29 Apr 2017 16:06:09
Totally agree! I text one of my mates to say I was almost (almost! ) disappointed when it was 4-1! That is obviously only because we were so far better. I honestly think that 10-0 would have flattered them. It was a brilliant performance, but could have been so many more.

29 Apr 2017 16:20:37
Dominant performance from start to finish n no more than to be expected for now and forever playing sevco. At least now surely the must know their place but I'm sure the gullibillies will follow follow blindly.
Problem for them and everyone else is we won't be as good as this season, we will be even better and stronger with a few key signings, Roberts being a must.
Boyata was absolutely outstanding today n has got back to the form he was always capable of, whole team was immense but he's been one for the boo bhoys, not any more.
Here we go 10 in a row, by the way did onion jack ever show up again or did he do walking away too? Haha salary's punditry was hilarious today, him and see tanner were they gutted much haha.

29 Apr 2017 17:43:09
it should have been 9.

29 Apr 2017 17:58:44
It's amazing a year on from the 2-2 draw and penalty kicks defeat that we are at last turning our huge advantage in revenue, class and resources into performances, records and trophies - all thanks to a phone call from DD to BR and the start of the Rogers Revolution.
This has been one of the most memorable, dominant and entertaining seasons I have ever seen in decades.

29 Apr 2017 18:05:58
Not complaining Rab but I was thinking similar. Barely broke a sweat.

29 Apr 2017 15:26:51
How good was that bhoys for once we didn't take foot off the gas . lustigwhat a bhoy he loves us
Glasgows green n white.

29 Apr 2017 15:43:26
Welshboy spot on Lustig is just one of those foreign players who get Celtic and grow to love us. He's as green and white as you and me and the same can be said for our captain. As Mr Stein said 'Celtic maybe weren't my first love but they'll be my last' ☘️.

29 Apr 2017 15:18:18
Both Padre Pedro and Fat Sally (Sly tv) think that Sevco performed better today that last week. I suppose that it's subjective to your expectations. Conversely, Brendan states that he is disappointed that Celtic did not score more goals. I think that Brendan has the greater grasp of reality.

29 Apr 2017 14:55:54
What an incredible performance from the team! Truly one of the best displays from a Celtic which I'm the main is the same as last year's! All the talk of TRFC investing to compete with us but some really good buys to bring in quality players will widen the gap further. Brendan Rodgers is on the verge something very very special.

HH 🍀🍀🍀🍀🍀🍀🍀🍀🍀🍀.

29 Apr 2017 14:33:38
Scott Brown? Tic could have played Mrs Brown (boys) today and still skoosh it HH.

29 Apr 2017 14:23:28
The subway carriages must have been filled to overflowing 15 minutes before the final whistle today. I guess Celtic's performance was too much for the Govan side's "loyal" supporters to bear. Fantastic performance today from the Celtic players and their supporters.

29 Apr 2017 14:59:33
Thinkin the same mate! The best fans in the world were home before our 5th went in! 😂😂😂😂 didn't think we could dominate as much as last week but that was an absolute canter! Without exaggerating that could have been 9 or ten quite easily! Passing movement and more importantly totally clinical! Glad our superiority was hammered home! Great time to be a Tim lads honestly! HH!

29 Apr 2017 15:05:24
too right mate wee pats a milngavie man tae whas like us eh?

29 Apr 2017 15:09:30
Best fans? Wonder if the sfa will drag them over the coals for the fan who ran on to confront broony? Or the monkey chants at sinky? Or the object that Griff showed the ref that was flung at the players celebrating? Whilst am moaning why were they flying Israeli flags? Did we not get fined for Palestinian ones?

29 Apr 2017 17:36:48
I agree, political statements shouldn't be allowed in football however we flew Palestinian flags against an Israeli team which was obviously done in part to aggravate them. Also it was in Europe and the situation is far from as simple as 'Israel bad, Palestine good' as the majority of our fans seem to think.

29 Apr 2017 10:58:57
Good luck to everyone attending the asbestos done today. should all have masks on mind. lol Hail Hail.

29 Apr 2017 08:17:35
Just wanted to add one further thing on the Barton saga, apparently he had been gambling for 10 years while a footballer, his time up in Scotland he was still gambling and the SFA only gave him a slap on the wrist with a one game ban and a small fine, but my question is, why did he not admit to his addiction then, was it because he got off lightly by our SFA, but when the English FA hammered him, he suddenly admitted to his addiction. Something not quite right.

{Ed001's Note - exactly Tim, it is what you call self-serving.}

29 Apr 2017 07:37:48
