My only concern for the upcoming Semi final is we sometimes struggle to get ourselves up for games against the wee teams from the lower leagues,

07 Mar 2016 07:21:06
The best comment of the day.

06 Mar 2016 17:29:00
It is funny how this new mob are getting so excited at playing the Champions of Scotland for the second time in their history. Wee club mentality, right enough.

06 Mar 2016 19:21:10
Well all a can say to em is. Be careful what u wish for.

06 Mar 2016 16:51:18
well well the draw the zombies wanted!

Glad we obliged them.

06 Mar 2016 17:00:51
Just call me the oracle. ;)

Only thing still to be announced is who the referee will be. I reckon it will be Thompson or Dallas Junior but my money is on Thompson.

I wonder how many honest mistakes will be made?

06 Mar 2016 17:09:43
Fair dooos Rab

No way will Dallas jnr get it mate my money on Crawford Allen getting it Thomson made an ar£e of the last one.

06 Mar 2016 17:13:57
Even in a neutral venue tie they are drawn first 😀.

TPP that won't change anything other than who gets which dressing room

Surprised Ed, That a few of the panty wetters not surfaced yet must be running down to the supermarket before they shut!

Before the RD debacle starts its the players that will carry the fight that day! Player for player I would not swap one of them for one of ours!

They owe US a performance get it rammed into them it's them that will be accountable! (y)

{Ed007's Note - There's not one single player would get in our squad. Scott Allan would have been starting every week and their new idol if he had went there.}

06 Mar 2016 17:33:00
That's right Ed and he chose us! (y)

{Ed007's Note - It was the most sensible thing he's ever done.}

06 Mar 2016 17:45:53
There's surely enough Scottish based players in the squad who will let anyone that's not aware that anything other than a convincing victory will not be acceptable. They are a team of journeymen who have been playing their football in Scotlands 2nd tier. If our attitude is right we"ll win convincingly

06 Mar 2016 17:38:06
Exactly Ed.

If the players keep up todays first half form, we will wipe the floor with them. Just hope that the police don't come in and tell us to keep the score down this time.

{Ed007's Note - If Hibs beat Utd we could end up winning this cup without playing a top team.}

{Ed007's Note - They're even beeling about him wearing green boots.}

06 Mar 2016 17:56:34
I wonder if he'll get the same hugs from all the Rangers players as he did before.

06 Mar 2016 18:02:16
I wonder if they will be #cleaninguptheiractforthequeen?

Seeing as they didn't bother #payingtheirtaxesforthequeen, I suspect they won't be #cleaninguptheiractforthequeen either.

06 Mar 2016 19:06:44
There will be plenty Rab, but none of them honest lol.

06 Mar 2016 20:27:45
If we don't win this game and the players put on a performance similar to recent games then it's the players who should go before RD. They should not need any geeing up for this one.

06 Mar 2016 14:31:00
Hopefully a needed shot in the arm today
Said on live chat that I reckon Roberts will be huge sensation l, realise it's early to say that but basing it on rave reviews from couple of guys I know down here in the FA academy set up who are amazed that Celtic have managed to pull off such a coup. Time will tell I suppose but he does look tidy.

06 Mar 2016 14:27:13
Loved Big isa's thong today as well cameraman never let us down.

06 Mar 2016 14:19:00
Kazim Richards must be the strongest man to ever pull on a pair of football boots everytime he goes near a player they fall over and get a free kick clearly the refs are looking at his reputation before hand ridiculous. was a better performance today especially the 1st half Tierney just keeps getting better . was good to see mulgrew in at cb rather than midfield maybe that's what the talks where about during the week players fed up with been played out of position.

06 Mar 2016 14:41:13
Armstrong even got a run down the middle!

Going to ask this question before the euphoria of beating Morton later today begins. When we (as we should) win the double would everyone agree it is by far the worst Celtic side in our living memory to achieve this?

{Ed007's Note - #BestFansInTheWorld

#facing reality

{Ed007's Note - I remember going years without winning a trophy and I'm as happy seeing us lift trophies now as I was when I was a kid. There's very few supporters across the world who could turn the possibility of winning two trophies into a negative. Two trophies we haven't even won yet, it sounds like you'd be disappointed if we do though.}

06 Mar 2016 01:45:21
It won't really matter it will be in the record books. It couldn't care less if they are the worst team in the world to win a double as long as they do it. The problems with the team and the management can be sorted out then.

{Ed007's Note - That's far too sensible, Grout, behave yourself. It's the morning of an important cup game and there's folk coming out with that.}

06 Mar 2016 02:14:53
I remember those years as well,but we were up against Minty's millions, a bit similar to us and the rest this season. Ed you can't honestly say it would be any kind of achievement winning a one horse race this season. Papering over the cracks comes to mind.

{Ed007's Note - When it comes to winning trophies I couldn't care what it papers over. For me this is a time for everyone to pull together and get the double over the line. I will never get bored of, or flippant about, seeing CFC winning trophies, don't you want to see us beat Rangers records?
How about backing the team and manager to get the trophies in the bag and see what happens after that?}

06 Mar 2016 07:28:59
No I wouldn't. I remember the 90s.

06 Mar 2016 08:02:51
Ok hypothetical question. Say we are still playing this badly in the champions league and we somehow got to the final and won it. Would you be upset we were European champions no you wouldn't. Every team plays rubbish at some point this is our time we will get better.

06 Mar 2016 08:24:48
I'd rather be the worst team ever to win a double, than be the best team never to win one.

06 Mar 2016 10:17:56
Of course being pragmatic has its place - the great Italian teams were the masters of it! They were also the masters of doing whatever it took, being streetwise, and never being bullied! We don't fit into any of that! Of course trophies will always come first but a child would understand that it's all relative - just winning Serie A, is different to just winning the SPL. If we were doing a lot of things right but just falling short I would still be behind Ronny like I was until a few months ago, but you can only fool yourself for so long! The team isn't doing anything well at the moment! Like Ed I watched Celtic through the dark days but I never remember having only 2/ 3 players out a whole squad getting pass marks! I also read today that we've played 35 players roughly this year. Other teams, especially in England with huge squads of 30/ 40 players still only actually played around 25. For me Lawwell, Park, and Deila, and the coaches all have to go!

06 Mar 2016 11:08:57
Nah Stevie. At end of the day no matter what anyones opinion of him is, if we get scottish cup he will have returned 2 doubles in his 2 seasons at club AND crucially produced some form of european football each season. All this achieved on a far less budget than previous managers and with Peter Lawwell meddling and doing a "romanov" in terms of team selections.

Board should of backed him and brought in 2 wingers to make 4-2-3-1 work but they never. Ronnys downfall was not adjusting to 4-4-2 to make better use of squad.

He was only brought into be a puppet. I cringe at thought of who will be brought in next.

06 Mar 2016 11:27:30
JimTim read the question again before you make a fool of yourself. I can't recall us winning the league and Scottish cup double in the 90's

06 Mar 2016 11:31:34
I honestly think JimTim's posting rights should be revoked. Time and time again he comes out with sensible, well thought out posts and it is clearly at odds with this forum recently. ED, get him banned!

06 Mar 2016 11:39:17
Sorry stevie, how foolish of me. I should have known it wouldn't have been plain enough.

Early 90s.

Is that better?

06 Mar 2016 11:40:49
Genuine apology. Totally misread the question.

06 Mar 2016 12:37:30
The object still absolutely stank though. I can hear the marching bands and elephant parade already. Brilliant.

06 Mar 2016 14:54:07
Stevie - exactly. We could only dream of league and cup doubles back then, so maybe rather than posting such tripe and making a fool of yourself, you should get behind the team and enjoy the possibility of said double in the here and now.

06 Mar 2016 16:07:11
No problem in me getting behind the team TPP , what I do have a problem with is watching our standards slip so far that we've somehow managed to turn what should be a one horse race into a struggle, and i'm not even going to mention our recent European efforts. If the rest improve just slightly next year and we go backwards at the same rate we have been we"re in trouble. How embarrassing would that be?

06 Mar 2016 16:52:43
So you've taken us from winning the double and then being in trouble next year across the course of this thread?
