Hi all, disappointed the winning run came to an end but big players given much needed rest for a big big month. Aims: into next round of cup, win league cup and the get over the line of the league, then ill worry about what impact THEY will have on the Spl..
I've a question though ed, if they found investment in the next month or so as they are seeking, enough to leave administration, THEN the big tax case finds them guilty, surely they are back to square one if not bust?or who would invest knowing the case result is looming..sorry just looking for more clarity.
Anyway our unbeaten run continues and let's get the bhoys over the line with the 3 trophies Hail Hail JCGE! {Ed007's Note - Nobody will invest until the outcome of the 'big' case is known, even before then, the debt they would need to clear before they even start looking at improving is far too big to make any sense to do so.}

Anyone noticed how the BBC have toned down the sound of the crowd during commentary? Surely not trying to hide something?

I wish they would turn down the sound of those whiny assed commentators! truly second rate.how can you broadcast with those voices................green jhedi

We should of know the writing was on the wall when AVB said this about Mc Coist. The Portuguese boss did his own coaching course at Largs alongside McCoist and said that he had already been impressed with how the Rangers manager had settled in to the top job.

Rangers have recently conceded top spot in the SPL but Villas-Boas said that McCoist would not stop working to regain pole position and would be a success. Lol. Yeah rite. I cant believe Mc Coist going round feeling sorry for himself saying it's a tough time on him and getting by by the support of his family bla bla bla. What about Lenny last year when he was getting the abuse. What did he do but have a bust up on the line at the end of a old firm game. Grow a pair Ally your live wasn't threaten. Yeah wouldn't know the meaning of pressure or stress. Bigirishmac

Real KB mate I completly agree, I was at both matches and there fans were disgusting I made the point on there site. I was just saying we should all rise above the idiots. I'm not sure what you thought I was saying mate, ask Ed I've been on the United site camaigning for all that s**t to end. TBH though mate I was at the FA cup game at OT last season and quite a few LFC "fans" were singing those disgusting chants, I think both Clubs should ban any fan caught for life and stamp it out, its all sickening and gives us true football fans a bad name. Hopefully us LFC fans have turned a corner as not one of those songs got going at either game which was good to see however it still is a real problem with United fans I agree, but like I said don't let them get to you mate.

Smithy

Yeah no probs.
Sorry ed, been in a terrible mood all weekend. Well, since 3 o'clock Saturday.
The Real KB {Ed007's Note - No worries KB mate, you know you can always come on here for a moan/rant. What a difference a week makes eh? ;-) And a Madrid win as well, great weekend for me YEE HA!!!!!}

Kb I'm fine mate. Just ignore the sick people who want to post vile. They do it to get a reaction mate, don't give them one they aren't worth it. All fanbases have "fans" eho do things just to cause trouble. I've been away with LFC enough times to see some of the most disgusting fans in England try to spit and chuck bottles, etc and mention Hillsborough while giving it the big un behind a steward. We all have disgusting fans, I've seen LFC fans sing horrid songs, like some Celtic fans do. Keep your heads up lads and don't let it get to you.

Smithy {Ed007's Note - Well said Smithy mate, rise above it.}

Thanks smithy,kb-bhoy

Smithy,
Posting stuff on the internet is one thing. Bad enough, yes.
But fans chanting that vile abuse, en masse, at matches should not happen these days with the grounds all cctv'd up.
They could pull them Spurs fans a couple of years ago at Portsmouth for giving Sol Campbell stick, so why can't it be done more ?
I never heard a statement from Man Utd about their lot at Anfield as well.
I'm all for banter and that, but mass chanting about people dying ?
C'mon.

looks like i'm being ignored by the Ed on the wake page....wonder why?

p'sses me off that i can't even defend myself against posts directed at me personally


taco {Ed007's Note - The sites are very busy Taco mate.}

Me too taco..........green jhedi

Nah, it's not that Ed.

been noticing the likes of myself, Mr Jhedi, Miko, Timalloy...hardly any posts showing our tags nowadays.

i must have responded to about 12-15 comments yesterday....1 got posted

at least we know you won't try to silence people Ed, just because you maybe don't like the flavour of a post. respect


taco {Ed007's Note - We might talk about some 'iffy' subjects but I try to keep a tight rein on it, if you have something to say and it's not just offensive p1sh I don't mind posting it (even though I might not agree with it), every one is entitled to a civilised opinion, then they will find out that I am right anyway :-) We are all adults meant to be and a good argument/debate can be good I reckon. The English Eds are very wary of things, they don't really understand (or like) the way we are up here. Cheers for the respect BTW Taco.}

If there was ever one striker I'd have loved to see in the hoops, it would have been Gianluca Vialli.

Agree, disagree, alternatives? What about you Ed, any striker, regardless of finance?

www.youtube.com/watch?v=408P2VyRem4

Miko {Ed007's Note - Gabriel Batistuta. The best striker I have ever seen in my life.}

Crespo at his peak was amazing but got to agree with ed, batistuta was a genius


Bman

Batistuta any time. was a massive cadette fan tho.his goals to game stand up to any celtic striker.........green jhedi

More of Jorge Cadete would have done me. other than that, perhaps Cruyff or Gullit


taco

They were all great but would not have swapped any for Henke

Past days player in the hoops for me wouldve been Hugo Sanchez (Real Madrid)

wouldn't mind seeing Wayne Rooney in the hoops.think its time he played for a really big club dont you think Ed lol

Lubo25 {Ed007's Note - I think Rooney could handle that side ways step ;-)

Maybe when rooneys in his twilight years, apprently a celtic fan

Thanks for the answer Ed mate. Do you think it will get worse and worse then? I'd rather Celtic and Rangers in the Prem anyday over Wigan and Bolton neither sold out and there fans were crap. I'd much rather come down to Glasgow, even if they are further away. If the talk of the "Super League" being formend are true what do you think would happen to Celtic?
JFT96
Smithy {Ed007's Note - I think if there was a breakaway Super League then I think CFC (and again this is all just speculation, so include Rangers) would be invited for the sheer size of the club(s), fanbase, marketing and earning potential. CFC are the 10th highest earners in Europe for matchday revenue Smithy with £43.4 million (per season), only 3 places and £9 million behind your team, Man City are 18th and £13 million behind CFC to give you an idea of it.}

Awrite smithy how you keeping mate but this ones to ed007 why would any breakaway or super league want that scum in their league.they are vile, disrespectful,hatefull,twisted and only care about themselfs.all the lets hold off the rankers baiting is over after the bad news of MR.PAUL MCBRIDE can`t believe some of their rants on other sites,vile disgusting ppl they belong in the scottish 3rd division and lets see how THEY get on,f***in deserve everthing they get.no sympathy at all anymore, PAUL GONE BUT NOT FORGOTTEN.R.I.P,kb-bhoy {Ed007's Note - People like that are not exclusive to Rangers mate. Every club all over Europe has a fans like that from Glasgow to Milan and every city in between. And we were talking about a hypothetical situation, your post really has no bearing on the thread, there are fans in England, Italy, Turkey and other places that would make the biggest headcases from CFC and Rangers look like boy scouts in comparison.}

Yeah, including your beloved Man Utd ed007. I'm f finished with that lot, after their chanting at Anfield and O.T.
I know it's gone both ways in the past, but that sickened me.
The Real KB {Ed007's Note - I am not denying it mate, if I did I would be a liar, but some LFC (and others) fans give it large over Munich on the Utd site as well. Like I said all clubs have that element, I am not condoning it and two wrongs don't make a right. No place for any of it in football in this day and age, look at Turkey? How they get away with what they do astounds me, and Italy's racist problem has never went away either.}

Hi there ed sorry about the rant(was out last night was a late one not long up)i know it was hypothetical mate, but just heard the bad news about paul mcbride and thinking of all that crap from last season you know what i mean and know there are plenty more teams with great rivalry out there.but i know you can`t tar all the rangers supporters with the same brush they`re not all bad.apologies for being off topic and no bearing to this thread.just thinking normally now and at times like this just to put things into prospective.apologies again to you and smithy,kb-bhoy {Ed007's Note - No worries buddy.}

Hi Ed mate, just wanted your opinion on the state of Scottish football and the Scottish League, do you think it will ever improve? Also if Celtic were offered a place in the Championship would you take it?
JFT96
Smithy {Ed007's Note - Scottish football has reached it's lowest point in years Smithy no two ways about it. I would prefer the whole of Scottish football to be successful (with CFC top of the pile of course) but the TV money going into English teams means that won't happen any time soon. I wouldn't be overjoyed at moving to the Championship but purely for the money side of things I would take it. If CFC (and Rangers, ignoring their current plight) could get the TV money on offer down there, manage to get into the EPL after about 3-5 years they would be up challenging the top 4. I can't ever seeing it happen though TBH mate.}
