Anyone else seen the picture of eddie howe in glasgow, do u guys reckon its real?

30 Mar 2021 17:13:13
Not seen it but the he wouldn't just be walking about Glasgow if he was up for talks with Celtic so safe to say it's prob just another rumour.

{Ed007's Note - If he's in a black Range Rover it's fake.}

30 Mar 2021 17:26:47
It’s a fake mate it’s from a few years ago! I even zoomed in on the side of his car to see what shops were in the reflection! It’s all stemmed from Laxalt talking about French Eddie online in a computer chat.

{Ed007's Note - Wasn't that was faked as well?}

30 Mar 2021 17:39:12
Aye ed, that was the pic my boy showed me, just shows how gulliable i am.

{Ed007's Note - It's an old picture from a story about him stopping for coffee or something - real news headline stuff you know 😁

Campsie Bhoy

How you doing?

Where ye been?

I was thinking about you the other week!

Great to see you back on here.

30 Mar 2021 18:39:42
Hi JFP I’m good mate like most had a rotten few months but going good now!

Iv been up by a lot and I have asked if they have seen or heard from you! I was telling Ed I met a character up there that was introduced to it by the late Tommy Burns and he had some fantastic stories to tell!

The shrines back open and the make do shop will be back open at the end of April until the cabin is back in use come October hopefully mate!

Hope your well mate Iv been reading all the posts and see your in charge of the Roy Keane for Celtic manager campaign.

Campsie Bhoy

I’m well thanks and hope you are too. Aye we’ve all had better years and better seasons.

We can’t get down by because it’s outwith the council area. We’ve been hearing Mass from Fr Duncan though who’s in St Peter in Chains Ardrossan. Keeping in touch with all the families but can’t get down to see the sisters. Missing the place big time. I probably know who was introduced to it by TB - John Clark was down one day too.

I’ve bought a static caravan just up past the convent on the other side of the Campsies near Fintry you’ll know where it is. I can’t get down to that either until 26th of April.

Aye I’ve been fighting the good fight in the hope that Keano reads the banter page and stays in Cork!

30 Mar 2021 19:15:01
My Son told me that Laxalt (who apprerently plays Fortnite and Live Streams? ) being asked about Eddie Howe and said he was meeting him today?

Sounds like nonsense to me but maybe some of the younger pups on here can check it out?

{Ed007's Note - It was faked up, Pedro.}

30 Mar 2021 20:46:54
Aye JFP am certain you know the chap I’m talking about he’s up there all the time and does a lot of good work up there with the rest of his wee group who Iv became good friends with!

Yes mate I used to go to the outdoor pool at fintry when we were kids it’s another lovely area

We will need to try get a few of us to meet up the schonenstat when restrictions lift.

{Ed007's Note - I'll definitely be coming through when lockdown's over and I can arrange transport, CB 👍

30 Mar 2021 21:59:06
Ed, CampsieBhoy

That’s a great idea to catch up at Schoenstatt. We’ll get that arranged when we get out to play again. I’ll look forward to that. 👍.

{Ed007's Note - I was saying to Campsie in an email that the 3 of us had been planning for me to come through before all the lockdown so we'll definitely get it sorted out. 🙏

30 Mar 2021 22:38:36
Ed

We’ll make a point of it 🙏.

{Ed007's Note - 👍🙏

30 Mar 2021 22:44:50
I thought as much Ed, said that to my Bhoy.

Ah well, as my old Mum used to say, patience is a virtue.

{Ed007's Note - 👍

30 Mar 2021 15:35:33
With timings being the way they are with the new manager would it be safe to say the new manager is still in work so we can rule out Howe and possibly Wilder etc ED007?

{Ed007's Note - No.}

30 Mar 2021 18:15:03
Listening to clyde 1 Rodger Hanna seems to think it could still be John Kennedy and seems to think the board don't have a fav.

30 Mar 2021 19:07:36
Rich T You need to let it rest it’s taking over your life stop listening to these people they know absolutely nothing.

30 Mar 2021 17:43:54
Oh Well that's that then Wilder name slowly been mentioned in some close circles just wish they would make up their minds i said weeks or two ago that it will be second week in May it could be announced what's your thoughts on the timing will it be as late May even early June ED 007 before we hear something?

{Ed007's Note - I have no idea, Richy.}

30 Mar 2021 19:49:27
I wish i could but cant.

30 Mar 2021 21:35:17
Rich bet your a nightmare on the way home from work wondering what’s for dinner.

{Ed007's Note -

30 Mar 2021 21:41:18
Classic.
Good banter 👍.

{Ed007's Note - 👍

30 Mar 2021 21:59:49

{Ed007's Note - 😁

Big Arsenal fan Claude has sadly passed away.
Claude was a huge character from the popular Arsenal TV channel.
He suffered from mental health issues and the lockdown became too much for him.
Claude missed going to watch his beloved club and he will be sadly missed.
RIP Claude.

30 Mar 2021 15:12:28
Just shows what the lockdown can do to pple. Very sad news.

30 Mar 2021 15:32:35
Such a shame! Lockdown has really been hard on folk. I myself am struggling only light at end of tunnel is we haven't much longer to go. I miss the football and the gym a lot and struggle badly. Rest in peace Claude.

30 Mar 2021 15:46:01
Stay Strong Gar1888.
Not long to go now, until your back in the Gym. 💪.

30 Mar 2021 16:12:00
Gary

Keep your head up this too shall pass!

30 Mar 2021 16:40:49
Thanks Lads. Am good got good mates and family about me. Feel for anyone who is struggling its no nice. Better times lie ahead.

30 Mar 2021 16:58:56
Gar1888, join the boys on the podcast live and for me it feels just like your sitting in the pub listening to your mates having a chin wag, keep your heed up pal 👍.

30 Mar 2021 13:00:59
Ed, i see more paper talk of Lucien Favre, would you think this a realistic target? Reading his Wikipedia on the teams he's managed and seems to have done very well. Also plays a attacking style of football so it says. No doubt just another day another name. But has to be better than some that have been mentioned.

{Ed007's Note - I don't see why he's not a realistic target after what he's said and I would be delighted if we appointed him 👍

30 Mar 2021 13:53:49
Yes Lucien would be doing us a "Favour" as some fans are not that "Keane" on the alternative or "Howe" the whole process is going.

{Ed007's Note - 🤦‍♂️ Two weeks and that's what you come back with? 😉

30 Mar 2021 14:13:09
Welcome back Tim 😂.

30 Mar 2021 14:37:21
Back with a bang tim hh.

30 Mar 2021 14:38:36
At least you have got your Wim back tim . Time to hit the Hay i think lol.

30 Mar 2021 14:41:57
Wisny going to drink the day either 😆😆.

30 Mar 2021 14:51:08
Tim 😄.

30 Mar 2021 14:51:31
Hey Tim welcome back.
Try a bit harder 💪🤣🤣.

30 Mar 2021 15:15:02
I love a rumour i love gossip but the new manager job is now takng the pee. With all the talk about this guy and that being linked with what the main talk it could be down to two men i just wish they would pick wan announce it so the person can get down to work bring in his staff and get on with the job at hand HH.

30 Mar 2021 23:20:52
Nytol works well rich.

30 Mar 2021 12:09:24
Young keeper Haxard isn’t happy because he’s currently not getting a game for Celtic.
His argument is Celtic are unbeaten in his 7 appearances and he has 4 clean sheets to his name.
Hazard did look dodgy in the cup final and he could also have been blamed for the injury time equaliser from Hibs.
In his 5 league games, that Hibs goal is the only time Hazard has conceded.
He actually has a 92% save ratio in league matches for Celtic.

30 Mar 2021 12:30:03
Good stats Buzz, hard to argue with those.
Lenny and JK clearly didn't have enough confidence in him because he was never given a game when either Barkas and/ or Bain were fit and on reasonable form. Barkas has been poor most of the time hence the reason for Bain getting games ahead of him which meant Hazard was never higher than 2nd in the pecking order. HH.

30 Mar 2021 12:42:24
He was shocking coming out for crosses buzz, which as you say cost us goals and could easily have cost more. He won’t play a higher level than Celtic in my opinion. Would anyone on here be pleased if he was the number 1 next season?

30 Mar 2021 12:51:43
His statement also suggests that if he isn't given a run in the team soon then he'll be looking at his options. It would be unrealistic and unfair to expect him to sit around in a disjointed team and club when he could be developing his future elsewhere. HH.

{Ed007's Note - Reading between the lines, Besty I think he means he would look to go out on loan if he isn't getting game-time here, if his plan was to move on permanently why would he have signed a new deal 3/4 weeks ago when he had only a year left on his current deal.}

30 Mar 2021 13:24:44
The coaching staff were caught between a rock and a hard place to be fair when you've just spent 5M on a new goalie

Hazzard is nowhere near a first choice GK and if both Barkas and Bain hadn't been so poor, he would never have got game time.

30 Mar 2021 13:28:34
Ed
Money.

{Ed007's Note - So some extra money for a couple of months while making his transfer fee higher? That doesn't make any sense and would affect not only his transfer fee but also the finances offered by any suitors.
If you're not happy with your game time at a club you aren't going to sign a new deal in March and ask for a transfer in the summer just to get a pay rise, if that is the case Hazard needs to have a serious look at who's representing him.}

30 Mar 2021 13:28:36
Does anyone know if we still have the young keeper we signed from Spurs on the books, I vaguely remember he was meant to be a good signing as he was England under 18 keeper?

{Ed007's Note - Tobi Oluwayemi is still with us

30 Mar 2021 13:12:40
Of course Ed, I meant to add that a loan move could possibly appeal to him as well in order to get playing time elsewhere, not necessarily a transfer although he wouldn't be the first player at a club to sign a deal and move on permanently elsewhere shortly afterwards as the contract would then need to be terminated and that usually has a financial benefit of some kind to a player unless he is the one asking for the move.
He could have the potential to be good but we'll never know unless he gets a run in the team to build his confidence and to eradicate the simple errors he does make when he is brought in.
His shaky confidence at times in games is understandable to a degree when the first team is an unfamiliar environment for him. HH.

{Ed007's Note - I know he turned 23 round about when he signed the new deal but in goalkeeping terms he's still a kid with a lot to learn as a 'keeper and that comes from playing games and learning from his mistakes - he's not going to be allowed to do that here. Just look at the posts all highlighting his mistakes and errors, that's another problem we have when trying to produce youngsters, fans aren't willing to give them a chance to develop and every mistake is highlighted a million % in these days of social media etc.
Next to "Celtic jerseys are not for second best, they don't shrink to fit inferior players." on the wall we should have "Ye shall be judged solely on your last touch of the ball."}

30 Mar 2021 14:39:26
He played the other day for England U18s and apparently had a good game along with Karamoko.

30 Mar 2021 08:55:12
Maybe be Robbie Keane and not roy Keane we are looking at lol.

30 Mar 2021 05:56:51
I wonder who is going to be linked today?

30 Mar 2021 07:45:23
Favre former dortmund manager joins the long list of who's who.

30 Mar 2021 13:20:14
Players have raved about Farve’s coaching methods.
He also had a better average points ratio at Dortmund than Klopp.

30 Mar 2021 14:46:55
I've always had a soft spot for Dortmund and always watch their highlights when I can. Favre used to like playing a 3-4-3 and they was always involved in crazy high scoring games. Some on here might say he can't set up a defense a they leaked a lot of goals.
