I think wee sneaky has played the fans card for the last time I would imagine he like Sandaza has committed breach of contract with his attack on Green as this would not be tolerated in any business and green may just have saved the club a fortune in getting rid

Second time I've listened to SSB. They conflicted themselves tonight.
Stated they could not find a case for McCoist.

Later said but club shouldn't lose two legends at same time. And then stated McCoist should be given time to settle his new signings or some guff.

Listening to that two times is two times too much. Refreshingly SEVCO fans honestly stating McCoist should go.

Keevins words in todays Daily Ranger "It!ll be a black mark on Lennons record if Celtic don't go through " This wee man is a pr1ck. JK

Total nonsense to say this.We could pound them for ninety minutes and two bad bounces could put us out.Yet another negative spin on a Celtic story.There are too many variables in a game to say something like this before a ball has been kicked. green jhedi

@OP: he's right, though, surely?

On Sunday he printed a whole page on covering his ar*e on Mathers by saying Sally and cardigan may have duped him in Germany pre season. Not forgetting to add a usual negative on Celtic he took a pop at our ledley.
There's no possible return to good relations with this guy it's surely unrecoverable.

Is Ally McCoist Tuesday's boy?
Tic fans would miss the howling laughs.

Celtic should open up a safe standing area for the green brigade they give nothing but 100% support for the team for the full 90 minutes disgusted in how theyv been treated!

kieran

Well said Kieran. There is no atmosphere at the ground until the GB create it. JK

Good sound leadership from the board. Doing the difficult but correct thing.
I back the board on this one.
Our club is in the hands of professionals whom provide good strong governance.

Celtic to shut down section 111. There goes the thunder, the club should hang its head in shame, what the f**k do they think they are doing? They are taking our best players not replacing them and now removing the noise from paradise,,, a shambles, ., .kbarry

What do they mean when they say they have taken this action due to "lateral movement"? And body surfing? Has Lawwell gone totally mental?

Hail Hail
ChrisBhoy

For whatever reason celtic have done it again, what I hear you ask, when all the attention and headlines should be about
the civil war at ibrox and sir walters resignation the celtic board come with something that, for my money will be the main topic in the media.I didn, t hear or see anything on saturday that would
prompt them to close this section.Over the years celtic have created their own unnecessary headlines headlines, just when we, the fans are having such fun regarding rangers demise the board take it all away by this headline making decision.jimbhoy

All in all there are 39 season books in my (quite large) family, inc 14 of them kids. My family will consider handing the cards back, as safety for our kids isn't assured Ie lateral movement,, if we score the whole stadium must laterally move?. Then again maybe its something more nastier?, ., .kbarry

Lateral movement surely means they must ban us from doing the huddle as that is lateral movement, one rule for some close a section for another, welcome to the morgue.

Chris mate they overcrowed 111 at cliftonville game over 100 seats were wrecked costing the club about 8k in repairs. Google section 111 celtic and the story will come up. Gandalf the green

I usually enjoy the green brigade but the lateral movement thing is a safety issue which could cause the council to shut down the stadium the fans have been warned and have chosen to continue - they are not bigger than our club and should not be risking the closure of our stadium cb

Your right Wanyama gone! Hooper gone! Now the green brigade gone what is happening at cp?? Ed we should get all celtic fans at the other end of the stadium to switch seats with green brigade! this is a dark day if we have lost them we are better playing with the flood lights out.

Celtic have a corporate HSE responsibility to assure safety for all fans. The health and safety executive may have forced this to ensure the rest of the stadium remains open.

"THEY overcrowed 111 at cliftonville game over 100 seats" Wouldn't that be difficult for a group of what, 40/50 people?
Do you catch my drift, Gandalf the green? Do ya? pea

Pea, that's sevconian quotation you're using there. Gandalf said they damaged 100 seats, not that they overcrowded by 100 people. He simply missed a comma.

MgC

@9) how many are in the green brigade? Do u suggest 40/50?
The stadium holds 60,000 this has therefore been thrown up as a minor issue in the bigger scheme of things. Thanks for all the good chants not the bad ones. No thanks for the damage and fines. Sorry guys but the cost of the atmosphere is too much.

Don't get this? And as for the broken seats thingy, I sit in sec.111 and my seat has been broken for 2 seasons as are many about that area. LUBO25

Pea if you actually read into it you'd see what I meant, no need to act like a h*n. Gandalf the green

Celtic are shutting down section 111 (green Brigade) WTF!!
It will be like watchin a match in a library. Shhhhh!

Why? Did anything controversial happen on Saturday that I missed?
The banner(s) and vocal support came over very well and I never heard or saw anything offensive so is it a retrospective response?
Apart from damaging the atmosphere and alienating our own supporters; how can we afford to close a whole section of Celtic Park at the start of a season?

Jungle Jim

What? Is this true?

Can't believe Celtic are shutting down section 111. I think they should be doubling the GB allocation in size rather than shut it down. This is a shocking decision!

I sense another poll being created within the poll section of this website?

I think our club have no ambition but just getting into group stages for the guaranteed games and money. If we come last in the group it would be viewed as a successful year. I expect more i'm afraid, and want to build year on year to last eight, last four.
The mindset and expectation delivers performance from word go. If this is the mindset then that's all that will be achieved.

Look what happened to the last club that had false ambition? they're extinct!

Ok so top 4 you say? so we either need to punch above our weight or spend more than.
PSG
REAL Madrid
Barcelona
Man City
Chelsea
man utd

so last 4 is out. last eight would need to add

galatasaray
arsenal
dortmund
munich

so we can't compete in transfers.

Has it occurred to you that last sixteen might be our limit? Sure we might scrape through to the last eight now and then but overall the CL is set up for the big TV clubs.Compare our income to the last four from last season.FFP might make a slight difference but I doubt much more than that. green jhedi

I was lucky enough to have seen the beginning of The Lions period of dominance and enjoyed so much success including 2 EC finals; however it has been a long, long time since we went anywhere near a quarter final and the format now makes it near impossible with tricky qualifiers almost every year.

MON did very well in the CL with a well assembled and expensive team which gave us such a magical journey to Seville in 2003. But since then the budget has been vastly reduced with limited revenue and from WGS to NL's teams we have had to bargain hunt for hidden gems and the overall standard of player has dropped significantly and although we are still fairly dominant domestically, we are punching well above our weight if we get into the group stages.
So although I understand the expectancy - as I have always had it myself - there is an economic realism.

The Advertising Standards Authority are to reopen the case of sevco claiming to be the most successful club in Scotland. After receiving over seventy complaints regarding the graphics around the dust bowl, and the publicity in the media, they originally ruled in favour of the club.

This led to much hysteria among the sevco blogging fraternity, mostly by chris graham to his followers, and perpetuated the same club myth.It is being looked at again because the ASA only took sevco statements into consideration.There is also a problem regarding a statement sevco used from the AIM which they have found out is dubious.

It appears that leaks are springing out in the sevco dyke and not even Chuckles big hands can stop them.green jhedi

Anything that states Founded 1872, needs to have in brackets afterwards (reformed 2012) as a minimum.

Their new founding date was 2012.

The Nimmo-smith report is a retired legal consultant's opinion only and not legal fact supported by law or the courts.

Uefa do not recognize liquidated clubs as having their original founding date.
Regardless of what Charles Green says.

Most UK liquidated clubs have their post liquidation new founded date on the club badge.

Was reading a link on The Facebook about The Rangers' ban on Radio Clyde for some pundits referring to them as a new club. The article went on (obviously written by a The Rangers follower) to say that both Fifa and UEFA acknowledged them as the same club. If so, then why does the UEFA website still show Rangers FCs last game as being against St Johnstone in May 2012? I can't recall if it was that same article or a post on their rumours site that went on to say that The Rangers had continued to add coefficient points to the tally. Indeed Rangers FC have, as, as well as gaining points for UEFA competitions (which the club cannot do as its liquidated), a club gains 20% of the member nations coefficient as a bonus. Therefore as Rangers FC haven't been taken off the coefficient board, they continue to gain points; much like a rusty boat sitting in the sand gathers dust.

MgC

As an associate club banned from Europe by UEFA for three years they cannot accrue coefficient points.

LNS stated when he fined the oldco "that the new club has never played in the spl"

Morning ed, I posted last night about smith walking because of the treatment of mccoist , is this another way of delaying the situation that they are in, gj, timalloy, mrs E et al talk about hanging on till december, I was wondering if this all planned, what's your take on it, cheers on it . Ths. {Ed007's Note - Any time there is unrest amongst the hordes, Smith comes out with a threat to leave. That usually settles them down as the doddering old fool would never lie to The Rangers/Sevco fans, would he? Hopefully he shows he has the minerals to stick by his guns and actually leave, he's a total embarrassment, who pulls out pictures of their grandfather at a board meeting?}

Lol is that what he did? How funny.
Scottish Third channel reporting online he IS stepping down today. Also SEVCO appoint new broker.

Ed, looks like nutty walt has read your comment and risen to the challenge lol

TinyTim {Ed007's Note - Good! Now he can get back to playing Homer's dad in The Simpsons.}

Please please please not back to the Doyle nonsense. He's thirty and his stats ain't good and he's only in third tier.

We need a young sharp fast striker who has previously scored goals at CL group stages level.

A fraction of a second too slow and the one chance in the game is gone. Hooper was just too slow a few times last season. Folks thinking just bad luck is nonsense. He wasn't fast enough. So don't bring in anyone slower!

What is everyones problem with Kevin Doyle, his stats aren't that bad for wolves and only few years ago he scored 13 goals in the EPL for Reading. I guarantee you that's more than hooper will score this year.

His record in the championship is solid too, apart from last season but he was in and out the team.

He has scored more goals at international level than samaras, stoke, watt and hooper combined and will bring a bit of experience to the front line. I think we need a signing like him as opposed to another "raw" 22 year old

Naw we don't. We need a striker that can score goals, a poacher. Doesn't have to be fast or young infact an older guy leading the line appeals to me. i'm not saying that it should be Doyle but if it was Skippy right now for 2 mill I think if be happy with it. I know Skippy isn't coming its just an example. Get 2 strikers in an older guy and a guy with potential.

No. 2 is darrenbhoy (forgot to say)

Are Sevco shopping at the tv again for non-playing staff and the like. Ally came from a question of sport now Jim McCall from BBC2s Beachgrove Garden. Out with the old in with the new. I hear Durrant is going back to play a wee shell suited ned in River City McDowell is the stunt double for Patrick Stewart and Greens doing VoiceOver for the hovis commercials

Well bye bye Kelvin Wilson

hoopydan99

Not seen anything on the news.I would have thought the press would have been all over this to deflect from the dust bowl laugh in. green jhedi

Not sure about that one. JK

I was worried when he was not in the squad for the game on Saturday, but NL stated he had shin-splints and Sammy had a toe injury and both weren't fit. (Precaution for Wed?)
I would be seriously worried if he did go as although he is still prone to mistakes; he has improved very well and has a good partnership with Mulgrew, plus it keeps Efin Ambrose out of the team.
It would also mean the spine of last years team Wilson, Wanyama and Hooper had been completely ripped out and that's a blow to any team.

Jungle Jim

I saw it just now on news now guys, he told Lennon he wants out for forest. He should be benched for elfsborg and we should go for Charlie and efe, with efe in defence what could go wrong lol. Bit gutted though Wilson was starting to grow on me.

Darrenbhoy

As fans we all complain from time to time on our players performances. We expect perfection, no mistakes, well you start to get that by buying £10m+ guys. Each of our guys play above their cost and valuations. Kelvin delivers in a hoops shirt. The defense were excellent in CL last year.
