Question will everyone renew season ticket not knowing who manager is or wait till its announced to renew. Am waiting till at least may. Will definitely renew anyway club needs us to back them.

02 Mar 2021 19:38:21
Fk all to do with the club needing it I’m renewing with a heavy heart cos I love the team but I begrudge giving them any money. They owe us after this year.

02 Mar 2021 20:01:42
I’ll be renewing because I’m a CELTIC supporter.

02 Mar 2021 20:51:55
Well if everyone renews before the new manager is named you can be sure we will get the cheap option, every St holder should wait till the last possible moment to renew and give the board a pause for thought let them know we don't want a cheap option we want the biggest and best we can draw here and let every club in Scotland know we will never have a cluster **** of a season like that again.

02 Mar 2021 21:03:34
Won’t work tho mate we have dates to meet I’m fortunate we buy through an intermediary so get longer to pay but also ias I’m in standing the waiting list is huge so I need to confirm asap I can’t give mine up it means too much but doesn’t mean I’m not happy with the way we’ve been treated.

02 Mar 2021 21:06:36
Yep fed up but one horrendous season in 20 faithful through and through.

02 Mar 2021 21:28:53
Another season ticket renewal here because I love the Celtic.

02 Mar 2021 21:30:52
Not at all Mally I can take a poor season seen enough of them it’s the disconnect from the fans during a C.V. that we’ve all forked out for yet nothing from the club. They sell a rubbish stream that gives them a go to all fans that they can reach out to yet nothing we deserve more. As Killy says I support celtic so will always be there but the club owe us more respect is that wrong?

02 Mar 2021 21:49:39
renew without a second thought.

02 Mar 2021 22:04:57
I definitely agree about renewing we all should. Tho I think the board should be made to wait till near deadline date if they don't announce decent manager and dof.

02 Mar 2021 23:07:40
Am I wrong or just different to those on here.

03 Mar 2021 00:36:33
The only power fans have over any board at any club is holding back your cash. If you want to renew regardless of what happens then great but don't have a go at those that want to use that power to send a message.

03 Mar 2021 07:47:00
Will be renewing but agree with Welshy88. Club have treated the support with utter contempt. From a plc that seem only intrested in money. The players never kicked a ball all season. No fight, no commitment and with Frimpong comments yesterday. It was of a case of shoulder shrug we can't win everything.

03 Mar 2021 07:49:40
Welshy that wasn't a dig mate that was my thoughts for myself, av got mates who say they won't renew but I will, because I know next season when it kicks off and fans are back I'll regret it if I wasn't there.

03 Mar 2021 08:24:05
Supporting Celtic is a life-choice through and over the piece people born in the last half-century have experienced plenty of highs, records broken, great players and trophies won, to outweigh disappointments and even disasters, or cheating opponents.
We know the clubs reputation on penny-pinching and budget buying, like it was with The Kelly's when I was a kid, but we prevailed.
There are signs that at last, lessons have been learnt after such a horrendous season (for several reasons) and change is coming.
A full Celtic Park will happen again soon and who would want to miss-out after a season of exile? The only place to express any sort of emotion is inside Celtic Park. Deep down we know things may have been very different with the support in the stadiums; plus, for any book not being renewed, there are plenty of takers waiting in the 'wings'.

03 Mar 2021 09:46:36
Think we're all missing something here lads, everyone is presuming that fans will be back next season, I doubt that very much, possibly at start of season you will be allowed 25% capacity but as next winter sets in it will be back to lockdown/ no fans. I doubt very much if we will ever see full capacity stadiums again. Hope I'm wrong but the world is changing, all future events whether it be football, concerts, festivals etc will be reduced capacity at best IMO.

03 Mar 2021 10:09:05
Cheer us all up why don't you stevie!

03 Mar 2021 10:10:08
Stevie
Will give you a £100 charity bet. We see full football stadiums again.

03 Mar 2021 11:07:52
Stevie have you ever considered motivational speaking?

03 Mar 2021 11:18:19
If only I had a picture of a tumbleweed blowing across the pitch.

Ed is that Ayrshire?

Guys why kid yourselves on, wake up to what's happening in the world. People believe when everyone's vaccinated everything will return to normal🤣 I'm afraid there is going to be a "new" normal in the world. The word "variant" which is the latest buzz word doing the rounds will make sure this continues for many years to come. Sorry to be the bearer of bad news to those of you who are asleep .

03 Mar 2021 12:29:27
Stevie

I was jagged yesterday so good to go in the new normal season!

No adverse side affects to report.

‘For it is old and it is beautiful and the colours they are fine. ’ 🎵 🎵🎵.

03 Mar 2021 12:35:30
Stevie this possibly go on forever I'd rather take my chances and live my life than the alternative of lockdowns and misery.

{Ed007's Note - I know everyone's moaning about the lockdown and not being allowed out but has anyone went the other way and thought "This not going out lark is alright"?
I've hardly been out the door for 10 years except for going to Chapel, doctor's appointments and things like Christmas & birthdays, I miss going to the football but that's about it.}

03 Mar 2021 13:03:43
I'm with you all the way Gar. Unfortunately if the powers that be make rules like reduced capacity / no capacity there is not a lot we can do.
Ed I'm at the age now that apart from not getting to the football it doesn't affect me hugely. If I was younger I'd be going stir crazy🤣
JFP get back to the doctors and get that vax reversed🤣🤣.

{Ed007's Note - Apart from going to Mass it hasn't really affected me. Grotbags has been working all through it - she says it's a nightmare at times - so my routine hasn't changed that much.}

03 Mar 2021 13:20:38
Stevie 😂😂😂.

03 Mar 2021 15:15:46
Stevie stay off Facebook offer of charity bet still stands.

02 Mar 2021 19:01:06
ED007 can you clarify, if you are able, these loan contracts.
Apparently Hendry and Bayo are doing well in Belgium and France and they have a clause agreeing a fee to sign them that even if Celtic wanted them back we cannot get them, yet the opposite seems to be the case with Nitcham's loan in that if Marseille do not want to pay agreed fee they can ship him back to us.
Has our Board screwed up here again.

{Ed007's Note - It just depends on the individual agreements, Tim.}

02 Mar 2021 16:45:25
I hope the new management structure is announced before the end of the season to help the new team settle in and give us hope for next season.

02 Mar 2021 19:54:40
Hope it's anounced soon to settle you down Rich.

{Ed007's Note - A handful of Mogadon couldn't settle Richy down.}

02 Mar 2021 13:56:42
Ed, when you become a youtube millionaire, will you give us the vicky and stop talking to us?

{Ed007's Note - Of course not mate. Well maybe some of you but you're safe 😁

I’d take Donald Sutherland in a Dermot Desmond biopic.

02 Mar 2021 10:19:15
Don't often pay much attention to anything Charlie Nicholas has to say it's usually gibberish. But he raised an issue this morning that has been on my mind for a while. It's not a verbatim quote I've translated it into English.

'Celtic fans need to see and hear if Dermot Desmond still has the hunger and desire to take the club forward'

'The Irish tycoon might officially be a non-executive director but everybody knows he is the voice and the decision maker at Parkhead. '

'Neil Lennon has left and Peter Lawwell is leaving so Desmond's voice is the only one that matters now'

'Now it is time for him to stand up to (tell) the heartbeat of the club - the fans - how Celtic is going to move forward from this season'

'If Desmond has lost interest then the possibility of a new purchaser coming in would concern a lot of fans. '

It all comes back to the owner and it is now up to him to deliver. '

'Is Desmond truly determined to get Celtic back to the top? '

So is he?

02 Mar 2021 10:29:46
Well we all know what happened after the semi final defeat to the Orcs.
I think we are about to see the same reaction.

02 Mar 2021 10:51:02
Jonbhoy that was a while ago. When you get to a stage in life their are fights that we might have fought years ago that we wouldn’t fight today. There comes a point sometimes in business, or for footballers or boxers that we’re just not up for it. Do we know DD is?

The thing that points to a yes for me is appointing his laddie. If he isn’t up for he’d be sending him to fight with one hand behind his back. I don’t know the man but don’t see a father doing that.

I have no idea. But do we know he’s definitely a up for the cup?

02 Mar 2021 10:57:39
J he's a hard nosed businessman and they very rarely like getting beat even In later years. am expecting him to be involved in the whole process.

02 Mar 2021 11:10:18
Mally you’re probably correct I certainly hope so.

02 Mar 2021 11:13:32
Agree with the bhoys.

I think DD will and is already taking personal charge of this matter for the reasons already given, DD is not an individual who conducts his business via the media let alone halfit ex players trying to be relevant.

Keep the faith, HH.

02 Mar 2021 11:29:38
Best just ignoring Charlie Nicholas. He talks pish and works for a bunch of zionists who hate our club because of our pro Palestinian support.

02 Mar 2021 11:54:59
We will find out soon, hopefully, if DD has decided to take King on after he called him out. If he does we will soon be back on track, but he's presided over our decline these last few years, so it doesn't seem a forgone thing. I hope Kings taunts had the same effect on him as it did on the rest of us. Bring that barstewards down. Over to you DD, you going to take it and roll over or start throwing punches?

02 Mar 2021 12:07:55
i posted a while back that i thought the way we were going that it looked like dd had had enough of playing with his toy and was passing it on either to a family member or a buyer but finding a buyer in the current climate wouldn't be easy so it would probably stay in the family for now.

02 Mar 2021 13:52:20
I can’t see DD allowing his son to have a seat on the Celtic board after years of dominance and then sitting back to become 2nd best. No Chance.

02 Mar 2021 13:59:18
Desmond is doing what he has always done. He appoints people to the board that he has faith in. He gives them their remit and let's them get on with it.

He will give them free reign to make decisions and will only get invloved when necessary. He wants Celtic to be a strong business and self-sufficient but is smart enough to know that to obtrain that, they need success on the park because of the sphere in which we operate.

Now people may or may not like him for the way he handles things but you can't argue with the success both on and off the park, that we have had under his tenure.

02 Mar 2021 14:04:44
I agree BuzzBomb, 'if a job's worth doing' and all that.

02 Mar 2021 01:47:09
So someone has posted on here asking what players they think will leave/ return to parent clubs (Moi, Duffy, Christie, Eddy, Laxalt, Ajer, Ajeti, Ntcham - are my favorites. ) .

But who would people like to see come in? Realistically but also pepper in some fun too guys!

02 Mar 2021 09:12:41
Ntcham is hardly playing in France so I wouldn't bet on him making that move permanent. Moi I think we will try and sign.

02 Mar 2021 13:11:46
How much do you think it will take to sign Moi? And I just don't see a way back to playing for Ntcham. I think his attitude is poor and it's shows. Don't get me wrong - he's a talented player but I don't see him getting back to playing well with us because I don't think he wants to do it.

What about looking at some signings? We need a centre half (or two? ) , A GK, a centre mid, strikers, and more. I think we need to spend quite a bit or use loans with option to buy to see how players settle etc.

02 Mar 2021 16:17:43
Kev I'm almost certain when i was last watching the french league, I'm pretty sure the commentators were saying that there was an issue with the transfers of 3 or 4 of their players and Ntchams was one of them, didn't quite get all the story so not 100% sure.
