So when can the league be won guys?

05 Feb 2017 19:46:25
its already won mate lol.

05 Feb 2017 20:37:19
If we continue the winning streak,12th March, in paradise versus the Sevco 😜.

05 Feb 2017 20:42:12
I read somewhere if Aberdeen drop any points we will win it when we beat the Orcs in Paradise.

05 Feb 2017 22:04:35
12th of March against the Huns would be the dream season l🍀🍀🍀.

05 Feb 2017 22:33:19
Want it won before then. imagine the huns having to do two guard of honours for us before the seasons done 😂.

06 Feb 2017 08:52:59
Read somewhere that if everyone wins rest of their games then it's hearts away?
I'd love it to be against them.
I was there when old rangers done it at Parkhead.
Would they really HAVE to do a guard of honour?

06 Feb 2017 23:24:40
Ugh a shudder at the thought of that day, a would love to inflict the same feeling on them. A horrible horrible day, worse feeling than helicopter Sunday for me.

Ed, what did you make of BR comments on LG after the game? I hope this is not a serious affair, would hate to see LG fall away, for his own well being and Celtics.

{Ed007's Note - LG seems to be falling into old habits and is obviously not applying himself in training. The thing is, RD was saying the exact same things last year about the mentality of Scottish players.
Since day one when Rodgers invited Scott Brown down to his home for dinner he told him what he expected from his players and the need to be a 24 hour athlete to be the best you can and the importance of nutrition and eating right - all the changes RD made are still in place and some have been improved under Rodgers. Rodgers - like most modern managers - is more focused on the importance of sports science etc than RD was.

'Leigh’s a very important part of what I’m looking to do, and will continue to be. He’s a brilliant striker but he has to be fit and available, and to be fit you have to look after every part of your life. This is not slight on his enthusiasm. He’s a great boy and we have a great relationship.
What I answered, I answered when asked the question of him going forward, and it’s very simple. He needs to develop that mentality. This is his life as a professional player. You can’t just settle for what you’ve got. Be the very best you can be. Nutrition in modern sport is very important.
He’s clearly a talent. But if we’re going to be a Champions League club consistently then you need a Champions League mindset. Otherwise you’ll be playing somewhere else and that goes for anybody.'

If RD had said that he would have been crucified. A striker who scored 40 goals for us last season isn't living the lifestyle the Club demands, he either shapes up or ships out. And remember when Rodgers was asked about LG scoring 40 goals last season his answer was 'I wasn't at Celtic last year'.
Or should we get rid of Rodgers for talking all this rubbish about nutrition etc?
And I'm absolutely delighted that Rodgers is talking us up as a CL club, finally we're starting to act like a big club.}

ED007.Good to hear yer on BR's side now. after all of your negative comments re him in the past. Him and his 'bit of fluff' and all that.

{Ed007's Note - I don't remember being negative, I remember having some reservations after spending 2 years laughing while reading the Liverpool fans discuss his numerous mistakes and his downright bizarre decisions.
Is it negative to say I think he's made mistakes in the last 2 games by not starting with a recognised striker on the pitch, is it negative to question why Rodgers decided to play, Calvin Miller, a player voted one of the best in the world playing as a forward at LB?.}

05 Feb 2017 19:59:35
Edd07 you make mistakes like everyone, I do recall your views when BR was appointed.

{Ed007's Note - So having a valid opinion and not wetting my panties like some daft wee lassie over Rodgers appointment was me making a mistake? I hardly think so.
So go and dig out all these negative posts I made, it's easy enough to do.
Unlike a lot on here I'll back whoever the Celtic manager is even if I have reservations about them, the new manager just so happened to have given me two years of hilarity as he blundered his was through Liverpool, the way he behaved and how nothing was ever his fault.

goo.gl/MQmgB0

And there's plenty more reports of his crazy decisions like the team he sent out to face Madrid in the CL.
Just because someone becomes Celtic manager doesn't erase history and their mistakes. Liverpool fans have a far different opinion on Rodgers than Celtic have, you should ask some of them - ask Ed001 - or doesn't that fit your perfect wee vision of him?}

05 Feb 2017 20:02:03
Ed007 do you ever think Miller will get a crack up front? I'd love to see him get a chance up top if he was so highly rated there in the past.

{Ed007's Note - Probably not - he'll probably become what's known in Liverpool as being 'Brendaned'.}

05 Feb 2017 21:00:01
No one ever disputed the importance of nutrition, in fact that was about the only string to Ronnies bow that he was any good at, in fact am sure some of us even called him a nutritionist, with his crazy team selections, even crazier tactics and formations, and mad substitutions, not to mention his post match interviews, he certainly was'nt a football manager.

{Ed007's Note - And yet without him we'd only be sitting on 97 trophies and 3 leagues in a row. Maybe we just shouldn't count the trophies he won. I wonder what Kieran Tierney and Leigh Griffiths thought about RD as a manager, even Tom Rogic who had never been fitter and played 39 games last season.
Wouldn't you class Celtic playing 4-3-3 at home without a recognised striker on the park a crazy team selection? RD got pelters for playing one up front - Rodgers does every match and there's not a peep about it, he then goes one better and plays with none, TWICE!!, and nobody seems to bother.}

05 Feb 2017 21:29:51
Brendan got Liverpool closer to the title than any other manager has done for years. I will be forever thankful we got him and not that idiot Moyes!

{Ed007's Note - And what a laugh that was. As they say, second is just the first loser.}

05 Feb 2017 21:56:21
What was funny about it?

{Ed007's Note -

05 Feb 2017 22:08:55
Bit of a difference in how the team are playing from last season compared to last.

05 Feb 2017 22:45:18
I think we are seeing a very different man now in BR.

He was a bit of an arse at Liverpool and that stupid ch5 documentary was a horses arse of an idea - as it made him look like a horses ares.

I think since then he is humbler - and learned a lesson - and now at a team like celtic he is rebuilding his reputation as man manager and a good tactician.

I always want the best for celtic and when he was appointed I was disappointed. I want someone in high demand at the top of their game - but we ain't going to get PG or JM (would you really want them) . I think now - he is the best we could get in the current set up and with his point to prove, we are a good fit for him too.

{Ed007's Note - He certainly looks to have learnt a lot and comes across a bit more humble for want of a better word - and he can work the media up here in a way they've never came across.
The Channel 5 documentary was another high profile cock up with hilarious consequences.}

05 Feb 2017 22:47:46
The right Edd, Brendan told him to slip!

{Ed007's Note - But it was just sssoooo funny.

06 Feb 2017 07:20:03
Brendan has the potential to be the best Celtic manager since Jock Stein. If the board back him property then I believe he can get us competing properly in the champions league.

06 Feb 2017 08:02:34
I don't see the point in bringing up the past . We should only judge Rodgers on what he Does here. If he could screwed up at Liverpool too bad . he hasn't screwed up here yet. Another point about this unbeaten season. I would rather bring the young bhoys through than go unbeaten.

06 Feb 2017 09:39:28
I'm one of the guilty 1s that called Ronnie D a nutritionist. It seems BR has that mentality also but has a few more strings to his bow.

06 Feb 2017 11:35:36
What's even funnier is the state Klopps got them in they are terrible, but agree ed the ch5 doc was horrendous.

05 Feb 2017 14:50:55
Well im having the best day in a long time at work. Many many comments when we were behind today and maybe I will admit I was a little worried with no recognized striker. But OMG! the rest of the day will be sweet now.

Hope you are well as can be ED not posted in ages but still on everyday keep up the good work please.

The Happy Turnkey.

{Ed007's Note - Hi mate, it's always nice to hear from you. I'm fine thanks and hope you're doing well too.}

05 Feb 2017 14:39:16
Neil McCann pure raging sitting with Brendan and Lenny pmsl hate the wee scumbag 😬🍀🍀🍀.

05 Feb 2017 15:31:03
Great to see his wee face tripping.

05 Feb 2017 20:07:03
I'd rather chew wasps than listen to his biased boring opinions, started sucking right up BR a**e when he arrived after full time, made great viewing for a change.

05 Feb 2017 12:19:46
Recently been frustrated with kodi on firestick so have been using modbro for games on the box and vip league for games on Celtic TV and stream to tv using chromecast, when I can't make games.

You might have to use a vpn depending on your ISP. Cyberghost is free to download and install. You can also set your location to UK if you select to surf anonymously, trying to select on main screen says you need to upgrade, you don't. Additionally you don't need to register on vip league even though the pop up says you do.

05 Feb 2017 12:38:34
if you knowhow to use a vpn why not subscribe to celtic tv :)

05 Feb 2017 14:34:00
Welsh boy . I use a cheap mxq box . Better than my firestick . Using a vpn? Is celtic tv free to subscribe.

05 Feb 2017 15:30:44
no its not free £20 pm but you can use a vpn to login.

05 Feb 2017 16:05:04
My kodi box was doing my head in. If you have an ok spec phone I'd suggest downloading some apps "es file explorer" "local cast" and and "opera vpn" its free and works OK. You can then set up kodi to play through file explorer and local cast and it will connect to your chromecast and you can use your phone as normal as it works in the background. I found it far more stable than using my t8 box. There are walk throughs online. It doesn't play every video but id say 80% work perfectly. I'm sure there's a way to get the rest working but I haven't had the need as there are always several sources to choose.

05 Feb 2017 20:55:59
better spending £50-£60 and getting a better android box with 3gb ram. if you then use a ethernet cable from your router you don;t need to subscribe to celtic tv. if you add dc sports you get the celtic tv link live and free.

05 Feb 2017 22:02:19
if your going to pay that for a box your better buying a sub foriptv there's plenty of them about far better than kodi.

05 Feb 2017 10:27:19
Oh dear oh dear oh dear oh dear.

05 Feb 2017 10:48:37
Oh dear oh dear oh dear oh dear what?

05 Feb 2017 11:40:26
That was meant for sevco page. :)

05 Feb 2017 11:55:36
I see Ryan Christie scored for the dandy Dons yesterday. I still hold a lot of hope for the bhoy and was disappointed and surprised to see him go on loan especially as we've been short up front and in midfield in recent weeks with Dembelle, Grifiths, Armstrong and Rogic out. 🍀.
