Believable0 Unbelievable0

{Ed007's Note - I haven't mate. I sent him an e-mail but never got a reply.}

30 Dec 2016 23:25:04
Cheers ed, he's probably sleeping off the Christmas turkey 😁.

Agree2 Disagree1

{Ed007's Note - I hope he's alright if he's even reading this and I can't see him staying away tomorrow - he'll be on the whiskey and rebbed out his nut right now :-)
You still enjoying the An Spiorad CD?}

31 Dec 2016 09:08:58
Yeah mate its cracking, believe it or not even my Mrs likes it 😮.
There's some cracking vids on YouTube off em playing the usual glasgow establishments.

Yeah your spot on about oldbhoy there is no way he won't be on here the day.

Agree0 Disagree0

{Ed007's Note - You should treat her to a night out and catch them live, get some romance going :-D

31 Dec 2016 11:24:35
Defo Ed 2 birds 1 stone and that.

Agree0 Disagree0

{Ed007's Note - 2 birds...is your Mrs into that ya jammy sod? ;-) :-o

30 Dec 2016 19:25:34
So just getting back in the groove betting wise my two main bets tomorrow are a penalty 5/ 2 and ordering off 6/ 4 both I think are stick ons.
Another bet I fancy is Garner booked at 4/ 5 and yes for the ex bears on here grumbling, I also think Brown will be booked at evens but not betting against my own team's players.

hows you wee man sorry aboot the late payment!

Agree0 Disagree7

30 Dec 2016 21:03:26
Tim i fancied two to get sent off, nearly took it garner and a celtic player, it could get tasty also took the pens aswell half decent prices.

Agree0 Disagree1

30 Dec 2016 22:18:55
Tim any idea what the odds are for this.
Celtic to win 3-1 and a pen and a red card?


Thanks
HH.

Agree4 Disagree1

31 Dec 2016 09:50:31
Cprs1 on their own those bets are 12/ 1, 5/ 2 and 6/ 4 to combine them in a treble (if bookies allow this bet) would be odds of over 80/ 1, I am no expert on compiling odds so maybe ask your local bookie what odds they will give you hail hail.

Agree0 Disagree0

31 Dec 2016 09:55:49
I think we will get a red card and they will get a pen - with Gordon involved in one of the incidents?
McLean is notoriously biased and wouldn't be surprised if the cameras caught him singing along to their choons.

Agree0 Disagree0

30 Dec 2016 19:12:48
While he has been off the boil of late, I reckon MD whether he starts or not will have a major influence on the game the morra. Even when not scoring, he is a real handful for defenders and I think he will be totally up for the kind of physical game they are likely to bring. Can't wait :)

Believable1 Unbelievable0

30 Dec 2016 19:36:44
That would be my reasoning for opting with MD, if they don't both start. I noticed they reverted to a back 3 with wing-backs in their last game. Perhaps in preparation for us? That would be a big mistake I think. When our forward 3 get a chance against their CBs, we're in.

Agree0 Disagree0

30 Dec 2016 18:12:15
the good thing about the huge points gap is that we can go there and relax and play our football, they will do their usual and try to put it about, so its important we match them up and win the challenges from the off.

30 Dec 2016 16:03:42
I really hope our fans do us proud tomorrow when the minutes silence is held. I am more nervous about that than the actual game. I have no idea why they would have this other than in hope that the Celtic support are not silent. The newspapers will have this already typed up no matter what happens on the field. I hope our great support pay respect to the people that lost there lives that day then we can show them we are miles ahead of them on and off the field. Hail hail bhoys 🍀🍀🍀.

Believable2 Unbelievable2

30 Dec 2016 16:34:45
Probably due to the fact it's their closest home game to the 45th anniversary. I can't see why people wouldn't just stay silent other than to deliberately look to cause offence and give everybody else ammunition.

Agree1 Disagree1

{Ed007's Note - January 2016 was the 45th anniversary.}

30 Dec 2016 16:35:30
Kerzo
Don't criticise them for having it
They want to mark it
It happened on 2nd January at Ibrox

We are a side show. They aren't having it to get at us or to embarrass us or to catch us out. It's their home game and their anniversary tribute

Don't be surprised if a few let themselves down. You ain't ever going to get 7500 respectful, dignified, intelligent, responsible people in any one space at any point in time when the main event is a west of Scotland football match

I won't be embarrassed by any of it because I wouldn't be any part of it and we should all be responsible for ourselves on such occasions

The match is what matters and their mark of respect will matter to all of them and the extreme vast majority of Celtic fans attending the game.

Agree3 Disagree0

30 Dec 2016 17:50:50
Good maths Ed :D.

Agree1 Disagree0

{Ed007's Note - I'm wondering if TRIFC supporters will show their staunch respect by standing pointing mobile phones at the Celtic fans......

30 Dec 2016 17:48:01
A minutes applause removes the attention seeking idiots.
Let's face it it's highly likely some tit will not respect the memory of the dead.

Agree0 Disagree0

30 Dec 2016 18:37:54
Forgive my ignorance bhoys but I thought we done away with the minutes silence and went with an applause now?

Agree0 Disagree0

30 Dec 2016 19:41:31
Got to agree with Kerzo that there will be plenty hoping that some of our fans disrupt the minutes silence, so when we wipe the floor with them they've got something to deflect from that! It's an absolute cert! And that's me in no way saying they'r not entitled to do something to mark what was a horrible tragedy! But like a few guys have said why not have a minutes applause and not give the the minority a platform to act like total idiots! Let's hope we're talking about a convincing win for the champions tomorrow and not hearing about a few who can't keep quiet for 60 seconds! But I have my doubts!

Agree2 Disagree0

30 Dec 2016 19:47:40
It is what it is. You can't keep apologizing for people who show no respect. The fans in our end will stand silent through the minute because they are respectful. Noise usually come from people coming into the stand from behind, not realising the minutes silence has started. The last thing we want to do is give the MSM the excuse to bring us down. 66 people went to watch a football match that day and paid the ultimate price, that deserves a minute of anybody's time. I will be watching on TV and I will be silent for the minute. After that, I will be going mental shouting my team on to hammer the newco. That's football.

Agree0 Disagree0

30 Dec 2016 20:18:44
Exactly BigRab. One minute will not be about football, becasue the team you support is a footnote to things more important. Things like life, and loved ones. One minute is where football isn't a barrier between men. The other 90 mins will be all ours.

Agree0 Disagree0

30 Dec 2016 21:21:29
There'll be 80,001 ears pricked up listening to be offended. There's at least 1 of them with 3 ears.

Agree1 Disagree0

30 Dec 2016 21:28:46
The one thing about it is l hate is when people make excuses for these morons, one of my best friends died the day before christmas eve completely out of the blue, there will be plenty people in that ibrox crowd who lost best freinds and fathers and sons, in the ibrox disaster, showing a little respect to a fellow human, is what every one should be doing, at least a minutes silence let's us see who the morons are, whereas a minutes applause let's them hide, paradise, I don't get your comment about panty wetters,

Agree0 Disagree1

30 Dec 2016 22:12:29
Dont understand how a minutes applause is any less respectful than a minute silence, respect is still been shown.

And if it drowns out a couple morons then it's an even bigger bonus surely.

Agree0 Disagree0

30 Dec 2016 18:56:48
Well that would be somewhat ironic Ed. Funny, almost. It's a great point to be fair, and those more interested in pointing phones would be just as disrespectful.

Agree0 Disagree0

{Ed007's Note - They tried to sneak it in under the radar to try and trap Celtic supporters who didn't know it was happening. It's actually quite deplorable the way TRIFC and the lowlife thugs attached to their board have manipulated this whole situation to try and show both Celtic and our support in a bad light.}

30 Dec 2016 22:33:11
Exactly tick, there is no difference in the respect shown by the participants, but it is the lack of respect shown by the panty wetters, who will remain anonymous if everyone is applauding, and who are so immature, probably nappy wetters is a better description, that they don't understand that life is about more than religion and football.

Agree1 Disagree0

30 Dec 2016 23:08:08
I don't think you're wrong Ed. But bait is bait. You have to be daft enough to go for it. Celtic, like all clubs are represented by a sample of society. But the few you get in every sample will always make the headline. I had my own suspicions though along the line's you're going.

Agree0 Disagree0

{Ed007's Note - I'm 100% sure they'll find something - anything - to deflect attention away from the scoreline. They're more interested in what our support get up to than their team on the park. #NoPyroNoParty

30 Dec 2016 23:10:26
Aindoh

You show a lack of respect by manipulating my posts on this subject so don't start me!

My posts are responsible and pretty obvious in terms of interpreting

I know I know you do t agree with anything I post. ( sad but true ) but don't try to glaze over my key points which revolve around

1
It's normal to mark an anniversary
2
In a crowd of 7500 visiting fans you won't get 100 obedience ever
3
Those who elect to denigrate the spectacle aren't worth the attempt to understand, nor are they worth re educating or rehabilitating
4
The majority will behave and the KEY is the match itself and we have a game to win

END

And when it comes around Aindoh, happy new year and best wishes and all that.

Agree0 Disagree0

30 Dec 2016 23:26:50
Thats the worst excuse yet, ed, celtic will walk away from the new rangers by guite a diszance, you are just giving sustance to any wozldbe idiots, what's wrong?, just admit they are idiots, if they act like idiots and talk like idiots and look like idiots, but if they wear celtic scarfs, you have got to defend them,?

Agree1 Disagree0

{Ed007's Note - Where am I defending anyone? You can't defend someone over something that's not even happened and the only thing I care about tomorrow is the result. All the bleeding hearts and panty wetters can deal with the rest.}

30 Dec 2016 23:48:04
I didn't mean to disrespect you paredise, but i can't see anyway to justify any disrepect for people who are mourning their dead freinds, or relatives, or whatever, football is just a game, or the opiate of the masses as whatshis name said, you are the one that mentioned pantywetters, i asked you to explain, i have just lost a good freind, my point was, there must people in the rangers support who lost people in the ibrox disaster, and they should be shown some respect, i know is probably because i am emotional, i give up you are right.

Agree0 Disagree0

30 Dec 2016 12:27:03
police have banned celtic fans from wearing hard hats at ibrox. only in scotland this would happen.

A minutes silence is to be held in remembrance of the Ibrox disaster on Hogmanay which the media would love not to be observed. It hasn't been publicised probably in the hope it isn't observed. I hope it is observed impeccably so as not to embarrass the team or the manager or fire up the Huns any more than they already will be.

My experience is that the minutes silence has always been observed by the Celtic support when I've been there. While I can't understand why anyone would not want to respect the memory of those who lost their lives it's easy to get caught up in the atmosphere particularly when we'll be subjected to untold sectarian anti-catholic bigoted chanting beforehand.

I hope any Celtic fans who don't feel capable of taking their abuse then respecting their silence would stay outstide the stadium rather than embarrass the club. PS: I sense a Hogmanay Humbling of the Hun by the Hoops is on the cards 🍀.

James am not surprised at all they're banned. The polis were never going to allow it, you're not even allowed a bottle of coke in! Apart from fear of some person chucking one into them, it's far too much fun for Strathclydes finest.

30 Dec 2016 13:50:49
45 dead and 200 injured

It demands acknowledgement, respect and rememberamce

They will be wetting themselves if someone sneezes ( and let's be honest, someone will)

You'll get the guys not in the stadium making their way in having just tanned 10 cans of lager in ten minutes and then that guy in a group of ten ( the quiet one) who will sieze upon the opportunity to strike a blow believing that he go from " last to be asked out for a pint" to 9th to be asked

There will always be 1 or 2 or 5 but in the context of 7500 it's really nothing at all and we all know that

The offended will then use this to justify rattling out anti catholic rhetoric multiple times and not even contemplate the irony of it all

Bampotery is part and parcel of society in every context and we have a few

The smart media thing to do is to highlight on the air and on the TV ( when it happens) is to say either nothing or to tell it like it was / is

A tiny tiny tiny tiny tiny ( possible as little as 3 or 4 ) mocked the minutes tribute. IE the truth

As ed would say, let the panty wetters pee their pants and let the games begin

They are not wrong to have their minutes silence. We'd do the same but thank goodness we haven't had a disaster to speak of since our incorporation

PS the whole "last successful club in the world and Scotland " stuff today in the media was beautiful. I second guessed that about 5 weeks ago. Really original.

Well guys 24 hours to go and the butterflys are kicking in looking forward to giving sevco another footballing lesson.

Only thing that will beat the champs tomorrow is complacency and underestimating sevco because if we turn up they're getting a doing and I am very confident that brendan will have the bhoys pumped up, and a happy new year to all on here to all the posters and the ed's when it comes let's hope it's with a win against the forces of darkness HH.

I'm sure you're right but these games always make me nervous and to top it all I'm working.

Agree0 Disagree0

30 Dec 2016 18:02:49
Got to say I have no nerves going into the sevco games, used to get it before rangers deceased but new team not the same tension or nerves for me anyway.
Folk keep saying to me these games r always different, refs r on their side, etc etc, but class will always shine through against a weaker opposition the majority of the time.

Also these games, we have Played sevco 4 times in their history, won 3 n drawn 1 (lost on pens) so for me absolutely nothing to fear, I say 3 nil Celtic, my wee bhoy thinks 4 1 Celtic, id b happy with either.
Hail hail.

It's been almost five years of running.
How many beating would we have given them if their King maker had paid up and played fairly with all concerned.

They were only intrested in winning that's why they went down the lower leagues but they're getting their medicine now.

Regardless of the result tomorrow I remember the 87-88 season well and that run of failure that followed finishing 4th by 10 pointt gap a few seasons after winning a double but at least we made a game of it. Possibly 22 points behind at this point in the season.

They had 4 years to build a team they still owe everyone in sight cash from wifi deals their kit providers and of course the King makers loans.
Creedence were as clear as water when they penned Fortunate Son 🔫.
