R.I.P NELSON MANDELA

And they dared to call him a terrorist. RIP.

MADIBA free again at last; now he was a legend.

I'm surprised to see Lustig still playing, I thought he needed surgery on his groin if I remember correctly. I know he put it off to play in the cl games but I would have thought he would be being rested know to avoid more damage, And I'd be happy to see Fisher get as much game time as possible before Matthews gets back. mark

All this talk of us spending 6 mill on a player is all good and that but I wouldn't build your hopes up guys, Vaughn is a donkey and 6 mill is waaaaaay to much for him, finbogasson is a good player but he didn't sign for us because HE didn't want to move to Scotland so the chances of us getting him in January are very slim. I think we will go for tomlin again. He would sign for us and I know we are still interested in him. And he is a decent player. We could do a lot worse and he wouldn't cost the earth either. Let me know what you think guys.

Darrenbhoy

Darren your another one that keeps spouting this p!sh about finnbogasson not wanting to come to Scotland, Post a link to an article stating he did not want to come to Scotland or drop it. Finnbogasson should have been signed in the summer but once again the board went for the cheap option. he would bang goals in for fun for us. Why is it you do want to see us sign quality? I would rather see us sign quality than quantity and bring through some youth players, we need to stop signing these average players because it just hinders the break through of the youth players.

Barrybhoy, I agree, bangura & balde money would have bought fingamajig. Jbhoy

That was meant to say why (don't) you want to see us sign quality

He wrote it himself on his Twitter. Jesus bro what more do you need? How dare you say I don't want my team to sign quality players! Your just one of the many critical halfwits that our team seems to have picked up lately. I'll write it again so you get the point, He wrote it himself on his own twitter.

Darrenbhoy.

{Ed007's Note - I never seen it, then I wouldn't be following him on Tw@tter but I would have thought someone I know would have RTd that. And it's not something I am aware of him ever saying, considering most of my info came from the Dutch side of things it would get mentioned. And if he had said it on that bastion of truth Tw@tter do you not think other places would have picked it up? I have never seen anything, apart from idle gossip, that Finnbogason said he didn't want to move to Scotland. I'm happy to be proven wrong though.}

Nonsense, it's strange how nobody else in the entire country seems to have seen or heard about this phantom twitter post! The boy stated in June that he would indeed be interested in a move to celtic if the deal was right! I smell sh*te!

You won't be proven be wrong ed, am sure he's stated if Celtic were in for him it never got as far as him being informed about it. (In other words Celtic never matched the asking price, which will already have another couple of million added on to it).We've seen it all before, missed the boat, biscuit tin, whatever.To think Pukki and Balde cost about the same as the asking price and their wages would've covered his. Still not ruled out those two coming good btw (ever the optimist, hatrick for Pukki tonight).LOL

so Darren instead of proving me wrong your reply is to insult me by name calling, and by the look of it i'm not the only one that thinks that you keeping spouting p!sh. And I dare to say that you don't want to see us sign quality because your always saying he's not worth that money, we shouldn't spend that money on one player, we can't afford that sort of money bla bla bla p!sh. How dare you! I have been a celt all my days (33), and have been on this site a good couple of years. you are in the minority group of celtic fans on this site and in general who always brown nose the board and are against us splashing some cash. Darren here is a link to an article that you should read!

we need the same attitude tomorrow night as shown at swinecastle get out the blocks early same team as last week therefore ref does not become an influence as no doubt Lasley etc was be hacking in as usual wee McCall will be up for it

I'm really looking forward to tomorrows game and hoping for a performance like the hearts game. I'm not expecting another 7 goals(but you never know) another attacking free flowing performance will do. I think this formation with the diamond midfield would suit rogic maybe playing at the top, although to fit him in maybe Biton would have to be dropped and Brown moved so I don't expect him to start. mark

Do you think Lasley will get a free run again
to basically assault our players, our players
get booked for very little, yet this guy gets
away with some shockers, 3-1 the hoops!
. Back 3of Efe, Vvd, charlie
midfield 5 ML, SB, biton, KC, Izzy
forwards Atajic, stokes
If it does'nt work for the boy Atajic,
revert to ledley in midfield, and push commons
through the middle what do guys think.

As stated if we start a high tempo we will skate it if we are casual at start we always seem to struggle also depend what ref let's go with the tackles noticed that both collum and Thomson both red carded players in europe last week but allow some shocking tackles to go unpunished here

Is the Motherwell game on TV? In work and can't check.

Michael Kelly - Green Brigade can't rewrite history

'Some of the Club's fans are flying the wrong flags and displaying a lack of their Club's traditions'

www.scotsman.com/news/michael-kelly-green-brigade-can-t-rewrite-history-1-3220801

I'm just wondering everyone's thoughts on this?

{Ed007's Note - Personally I think it's a disgrace that the media have wheeled out this fossil, who was once banned from CP by Robert Kelly, to comment on anything to do with CFC.
As for his comments about the history of the club and the GB, one thing proves that his memory must be playing tricks on him

www.youtube.com/watch?v=Gq4f2Ezm6cc

A video that the board at the time were privately more than happy to see being made. He is a bitter old man and rightly so is hated by the majority of CFC supporters, he even has a go at NL in the article. But for me that video is enough to rubbish the full article.}

Great video and brought back great memories of the jungle and celtic park when we stood shoulder to shoulder and Hampden in the sun was better without the seats and roof on a sunny day!
Jim

{Ed007's Note - I didn't want to put the video on, it would have just flooded us with moans from rabid Sevconians but it kind of shoots down Kelly's argument right away, even without going further back into the club's history.}

Never seen that video before lol. I'm surprised you've not been inundated with comments from them. Unless you have and you're not putting them up!

{Ed007's Note - I've not had single one....yet. Anonymous Sevconian posts just get deleted anyway. The video link is only up as an argument against what Kelly said anyway, so stuff them.}

N.B. Don't ye just love Transfer Window Rumours .

Didnt we sign big fraser from jossys giants?, ., .kbarry

Ok, so January! I've seen a few mentions, and going by past years it's not the best window to buy.
BUT. For me this could be one of the most important in recent times.!
The league is a given, so CL football kicks in
2/3 qualifiers ED? I'd much rather have my players in beforehand. Bed them in if need be, finish the season, get a break and come back raring to go.
Everyone of us could pick a decent 14, with different opinions, there's never a banker and that's why the board go cheap (on the off chance that one will produce)
I get the current situation regarding our game, but given the money already banked and the money available from qualification can we no speculate? I'm not going to name players or my speculative figures, I've I did it would make the board even more laughable because there's a flaw!

The honest support don't expect a lot or too much, but before the chances of CL deminish over the nxt few years, given how hard it will be to qualify with weaker squads, I think 2/3 good signings in January will see us for 2/3 seasons.
For by the by, and I'm not saying that The boy from Huddersfield won't work, but he's not what we need and no where near worth the money being spoken about!
It looks so obvious and can't understand what goes on at times?

If no serious ambition and I don't mean by any outrageous predictions, but looking at wisely, if the board don't back Lennon, YES LENNON! I doubt himself and a couple of others won't be there come the start of nxt season.
And we start again with somebody willing to go along with the boards ambition of winning SPFL, anything else is a bonus so why spend?!

{Ed007's Note - We have two qualifying rounds and the play-off round to qualify for the group stages.}
