What did you bhoys think of the Utd goalie today/ this season?

Would he be a useful back up keeper for us next season - must be an improvement on Bain?

{Ed007's Note - Siegrist has conceded 36 goals in 30 games with 10 clean sheets, Pedro whereas Bain's conceded 22 in 17 with 6 clean sheets.
We've said even since Rodgers time about how 'keepers seem to have the game of their lives against us and today that was the same but we must have missed more chances than he actually saved.}

07 Mar 2021 22:03:04
Pedro
He’s had 26 saves against us this season in only 3 games.

07 Mar 2021 22:08:47
The whole team from back to front has been eratic at best this season, with the odd exception.

Bain is normally a decent GK, probably not a number 1 though. I am sure of those 17 conceded a decent proportion will be a result of our inability to defend a set piece.

07 Mar 2021 22:12:21
Fair point Ed, I remember a few years back we got Zaluska from Dundee Utd and he probably fitted into that same category.

How do you see the goalkeeper scenario playing out for next season?

{Ed007's Note - I reckon it'll depend if Barkas wants to stay and prove himself or move on and maybe it'll come down to the new management team.}

07 Mar 2021 23:47:07
I reckon i would have kept a clean sheet today. He looks a decent goalie but today all his saves were very comfortable.

08 Mar 2021 08:28:55
He's great with coming out for crosses but he's not a good shot stopper as his numbers will show.

08 Mar 2021 08:51:04
He's made the most saves in the league this season by a long way so that blows that out the water.

08 Mar 2021 09:54:45
NEVER A Celtic goalkeeper!

08 Mar 2021 15:37:18
This season we have all keepers in scotland made to look great hh.

07 Mar 2021 19:06:22
Whats peoples thoughts on Turnbull. Its as if our subs are picked before the game.

07 Mar 2021 19:26:36
John the lad is getting shafted pal. How the likes of Christie stay on and rogic comes on for him is unbelievable.

07 Mar 2021 19:42:52
We better watch we don't piss him right off or he'll be next to want to go.

07 Mar 2021 19:50:32
Am the same very strange he's an excellent young player who can do 90 mins on his head.

07 Mar 2021 19:56:59
I can't but help thinking that it HAS been Kennedy that was making the decisions on substitutions all along because its the same stupid decisions for substitutions and really starting team selection its like living in a twilight zone I really hope when the new DoF and manager takes over Kennedy will be the first one out the door.

07 Mar 2021 20:19:34
Turnbull has been sacrificed numerous times this season when I can't recall him playing badly or getting a full 90mins?

To sub Turnbull for Rogic is an insult, I don't know what Lennedy are playing at - clueless.

07 Mar 2021 20:32:45
Himself mgregor and christie need to hire a shooting coach.

07 Mar 2021 21:13:46
I really think that if we don't get a Wow manager then we could lose Turnbull very quickly. Yes I know he's only a year into a contract but I bet BR is watching situation. Today we totally lost it in midfield as soon as he gets pulled off. And not the first time.

{Ed007's Note - Turnbull wouldn't get near Leicester's first team.}

07 Mar 2021 21:42:21
Maybe we got rid of the wrong 'manager'.

{Ed007's Note - 🎶 Until Ronny I was never happy 🎶

via GIPHY

07 Mar 2021 21:45:46
He’s taken the mantle of shooting from absolutely anywhere from Christie. It must be something their told to do.

07 Mar 2021 17:53:45
We have two weeks before next game Could we dare show our hand for next season and bring in the new team now I don't think so would love it but can't see it.

07 Mar 2021 18:31:20
Now that the damage is done, there is no reason to wait and waste time on essential repair and recovery - unless the candidate is still under contract and unavailable until Summer?
The club needs a positive and genuine statement of intent. The support needs optimism and anticipation; while the players that are staying could do with a much-needed boost.

07 Mar 2021 18:56:03
They'll need to announce it before the ST renewals go out. Might see it the morning of the derby.

07 Mar 2021 20:18:29
When are we playing Partick.

07 Mar 2021 21:15:13
Once a Bhoy, I’d love to think the club would be edging closer to an appointment but if they were targeting someone’s in a job, surely someone in the press would have got wind of it, the way things are . nowadays. We would have had to go through clubs/ international associations if that’s the route we were to go down .

07 Mar 2021 17:30:48
I wonder would Celtic announce new DOF and manager within the next few days to take attention away from Sevco . I would love it.

07 Mar 2021 17:40:03
They should have had someone like Benitez lined up and should have announced it today as soon as the league was lost.

07 Mar 2021 18:33:27
Well they had no problem ruining our day after the treble treble with a managerial announcement.

07 Mar 2021 18:51:01
Yeah they certainly ruined that day Steph, was totally gutted when they announced the new manager.

07 Mar 2021 15:43:23
If any that lot even think about a guard of honour i will rip my season book up. disgraceful pitiful and absolutely embarrassing. hang your heads in shame.

07 Mar 2021 16:03:28
There is nothing left to play for but pride. Defeat them at Celtic Park get in there faces and don’t let Morelos score.

Absolutely no guard of honour for me.

Before all the we're bigger than that-it's the right thing to do comments it might arguably be. I'm just saying rightly or wrongly I wouldn't do it.

07 Mar 2021 16:54:38
They better effing not.

07 Mar 2021 16:55:45
They never gave us one so they shouldn't get one. All we can hope for now is beating them and ruining their invincible season and stop them beating our invincible points tally.

07 Mar 2021 16:55:51
I wouldn't do it. How many times they snubbed us. Fecking them.

07 Mar 2021 16:56:34
*Equaling not beating.

07 Mar 2021 16:58:55
Professional pride and the S. C. which I don't see us winning, as our form is non existent, is all that's left.

Right now Ibrox and George Square is full of hundreds of Sevconites 'celebrating' during lockdown.

I don't see any sign of Police Scotland's finest breaking it up, let alone fining those for illegally gathering in mass crowds.

Wee Jimmy Crankie saying she could extend lockdown as a direct result of their actions - Scotland's shame.

07 Mar 2021 16:59:49
Guard of honour, I'd rather a dirty protest and throw sh@t at them.

07 Mar 2021 17:03:11
Totally agree, but too many players nowadays don't care about getting beat, they'll still get there wages, if anybody else in a job performs as bad as we have then they are removed. Simple, dint know why the board can't see that. Id have puntrd the wantawys in the summer, if they don't want to be here, get them tae f&£#. None of them have any pride by the looks of things, just another day at the office type of mentality. Can you imagine, players who would have walked through walls to play for celtic, putting up with imposters like we have just now. Like big aitken, mcstay, mcneill.

07 Mar 2021 17:20:42
The Bishops of Scotland have just written to the Scottish Government asking for our churches to be reopened for Easter and for numbers to be based on the size of the church based on maintaining 2m social distancing rules.

Meanwhile in George Square the Klan gather without reproach with the prospect that lockdown will be extended for all of us as a result.

A bit of fairness and an even handed approach required.

07 Mar 2021 17:30:09
How many guard's of honour did they give us over the last few years **** all! No way should it be done and Celtic should come out asap and confirm that. They had no problem saying the board rejected the idea of them doing it for us. So not a chance in hell it should be done.

07 Mar 2021 17:35:37
wee jimmy cranky congratulating them and saying if you care go home, no condemning whatsoever.

07 Mar 2021 17:39:54
Ter your spot on two simple questions and the club can answer each in one word.

Q. Are you giving the h***s a guard of honour?
A. Naw.

Q. Would you explain why you’ve reached that decision?
A. Naw.

07 Mar 2021 19:31:56
Ya 100% JFP. If it good enough for them to do it and just say the board say no to it. Then what's good for one is good for another.

07 Mar 2021 19:44:37
That would be a right slap in the face for the fans. I honestly cannot see it though.

07 Mar 2021 19:34:56
Great comment. JFP1888.

07 Mar 2021 15:20:17
Thank God the season is finished for us. Let them celebrate their first ever title, it's always the best one apparently.
Our club have a lot to answer for this season at all levels from the boardroom to the boot room. Major statement signings are needed if they want us to challenge next season and a massive clear out of the unprofessional professionals who have been taking a wage every week. Shame on them all. HH.

07 Mar 2021 17:18:46
Sadly they will always be remembered as the team that lost the ten.

07 Mar 2021 14:46:03
Great decision by Davies to go to Liverpool money aside he's not even on the bench and the cbs are awful.

{Ed007's Note - Isn't he injured?}

07 Mar 2021 14:55:26
Might be mate not sure 👍.

{Ed007's Note - I know that he was injured so it might still be that.}

07 Mar 2021 14:55:56
Last i heard Ed he was injured about 3weeks after joining them, made the bench twice then got injured. Need to ask Buzz the stats man.

{Ed007's Note - 👍

07 Mar 2021 14:55:57
was gutted when we lost out on him seemed like a player who would of did a job for us and would have been an early start on the defence for next season.

07 Mar 2021 15:28:03
I read somewhere Davies was out for 6 to 8 weeks with a hamstring injury.

07 Mar 2021 15:32:40
He is not injured. Liverpool don’t think he is up to speed yet.

07 Mar 2021 17:37:47
Hamstring injury.

08 Mar 2021 02:04:21
Who cares.

08 Mar 2021 04:58:47
As opposed to playing in that gripping encounter Mally? Lol.

07 Mar 2021 14:32:24
Ex- Celtic player and coach Alan Thompson was on top form on social media.
He said the smokey scenes at Ibrox yesterday was caused by the cleaner when the trophy cabinet was eventually opened.
Classic Thommo.

07 Mar 2021 14:40:11
seen it mate top marks to thommo for that.

07 Mar 2021 15:03:43
Lmao absolute classic 🤣🤣🤣.

07 Mar 2021 14:17:12
What idiot manager makes the subs he puts on two guys who have let us down all year.
I don't care what they have done in the past. He takes off Turnbull wtf. Eddie thinks he's to gd for Scottish football. To many sitters. Christie should have been off. We tore them apart missed to many sitters let other teams believe and we panic.

07 Mar 2021 14:25:19
Eddy was terrible turnbull should stay on but missed a sitter Christie thinks he's messy. rogic don't get me started and griff at 30 yo can't be trusted. oh and about 25 Mill quids worth of players on bench we don't trust recruitment my god its been bad.

07 Mar 2021 14:46:18
Just shows you that Kennedy has swallowing the Lennon handbook on how to be a crap manager.

07 Mar 2021 14:46:45
Feel sorry for Turnbull. U can see the lad is trying so hard. And looks quality. How anyone think Christie is any good l just don't know. The sooner we get rid of the like rogic, Christie and a few other the better. Plus the loan players. A DOF is needed to be installed asap and get the manager in to try sort this mess out.

07 Mar 2021 14:51:15
Mally been thinking the same for a while now, Turnbull rarely puts a foot wrong but is always the first Midfielder to be subbed and always for Rogic a guy that doesn't deserve to wear the hoops anymore, has been rotten for years as for Christie couldn't of said it better myself, guys thinks he's in a league of his own, just wait to only the likes of Burnley chap the door he will know his actual level. JK is making the exact same mistakes NL made with team selection etc and its not working, just shows it's the players that need a rocket up their backsides. Now it's gone, time to give the squad a chance to impress and get the players out of the starting 11 that don't want to be there, time to get the ball rolling and get organised for next season.

07 Mar 2021 15:03:49
I honestly don't understand how Christie wasnt taken off. Proof if any was needed that Kennedy will never be good enough to manage us. Hopefully he's gone in the summer.

07 Mar 2021 15:17:52
Kennedy should be chased along with Lennon, If anyone thinks he is good enough to manage us they are deluded!

07 Mar 2021 15:42:41
Said a few weeks ago only first team players that should be here next season are McGregor, Soro, Turnbull, Forrest and possibly Griffiths if and its a big if he gets his act together. Would love big Ajer to stay cause he has stepped up this year in my opinion.

John Kennedy. takes a Turnbull off and leaves Christie on what game are you watching. Rogic? what has happened to so many of the players gone backwards big time.

07 Mar 2021 16:29:59
Can't believe like others why Turnbull is always subbed.
Don't know what others think but I would offer Ajer a 5 year deal, put him in midfield and make him the Club Captain.

07 Mar 2021 17:14:29
Story of our season we can't play a decent 90mins the team either start well and end badly or the other way round. Mostly we lose shape after the hour mark and play becomes sloppy and we end up regretting the endless sitters we pass us that's cost us the 3 points. A game we looked in total control of our midfield ended up smothering our defence and invited them on to us and we had to resort to hoofing long balls up the park because the midfield was so far off our attackers to link up play.

08 Mar 2021 16:07:11
Agree 100% RJ10 hh.

07 Mar 2021 14:15:32
Every loan goes back apart from Kenny. And a major rebuild must start. anno the board won't want to hear it but spend some feckin money and stop with the cheaper option.

07 Mar 2021 14:20:06
Keeny was brutal, he passed the ball out the park from a 5 yard pass?

{Ed007's Note - How long have I predicted that one day Celtic players will be judged on their last touch of the ball - and now here we are.}

07 Mar 2021 14:28:43
In a few weeks we will have ajer JohnJoe Welsh Montgomery Forrest.
Brown Turnbull soro Taylor Christie eddy Julien? calmac bain.
Christie can get sold brown imo has a gd 30 mins in him.
Out of all the rest sign Moi now build the team around these guys.
But what if a few others want to go I say get the money for French eddy he's changed to much. What if ajer and calmac want to go do we sell them would keep ajer sell calmac.
The rest can go either sold or out on loan.

07 Mar 2021 14:37:36
kenny was very good today.

07 Mar 2021 14:48:52
Kenny, along with Ajer, have been the most consistent performers in the Celtic team all year IMO. Young Welsh has also performed a lot better than Duffy and Jullien in the few games he has had.
Our biggest 'offenders' are probably Eddy, Christie, Rogic, Laxalt and the unfortunate Shane Duffy, while the goalkeeping position has been an absolute nightmare. On top of that, the other forwards have had to wait to see if their name was picked by 'The magic 8 ball' to see if they were making any kind of an appearance?
Cal-Mac is totally 'shagged' - sorry jaded after so much football, Broony still has the seniority and even the desire, but not the legs or the timing and unlike our rivals - have no settled side.

Unsettled, unfit, unorganized, uninterested and unprofessional; have all contributed from top to bottom in this fiasco.
Anyway; no matter how many factors or excuses we tally-up; We have been punished for years of complacency and blinkered arrogance.

07 Mar 2021 14:50:54
Malky whit gem did u watch one stray pass the boy was very good.

07 Mar 2021 14:53:54
Ed always the same though and fans always wonder why the youth don't get a shot. this is probably one of the reasons, one bad pass and his Celtic career is over as he will be deemed not good enough by a section of fans, laughable if I'm honest!

{Ed007's Note - Spot on mate 👍

07 Mar 2021 15:10:26
The only unfortunate thing about Duffy, is whoever thought he was a player brought him to us. The worst CB I have ever seen at us and I was there when Willie Garner scored two own goals on his debut. Is he getting the 'unfortunate' because bes Irish? We were unfortunate, he's k7ckung up three times the average wage a week to be woeful. I woukd have done it for twice the average.

07 Mar 2021 17:06:56
Kenny is steady he needs to work on his crossing but we've been pretty solid at the back since he's came in. Hopefully Taylor is for for the derby as Laxalt was positionally all over the place today.

07 Mar 2021 14:00:08
Big pedro will probably have the bunting out for the currants in 2 weeks.

07 Mar 2021 11:38:10
What a shambles of a season. To now have to listen to deluded fantasists doubling down on their mass volountary hypnosis induced alternate reality is firmly at Lawells door. To deny the truth in any field is short skip to insanity. Thanks Peter. On that basis of thought If I keep insisting I'm seeing Rihanna and Rachel Riley will that become true as well I really want it to b true in fact it is true. Aye it is. Thanks again Peter.

07 Mar 2021 14:13:59
Could have played all day and not scored. Utterly pathetic. A season that will be hard to get over. Especially when you have zero confidence our board of cowards will respond. Every 9layer, coach, member if the recruitment team, board especially Lawell and DD. Hang your heads in shame. The most cowardly season I have ever witnessed from us. A deed club overtake us.

07 Mar 2021 08:58:51
Hate to say it but if we were on the cusp of the 10 then the scenes outside paradise would have been similar, only better and not as bitter. and obviously social distancing. onto next season after we win the cup HH.

07 Mar 2021 09:45:56
Conjecture!

07 Mar 2021 09:57:39
If the shoe was on the other foot, there would have been riot police, Media Frenzy and ultimatums and SPFL and Jimmy Kranky and her hung Parliament would move to Null and Void the season and withhold trophy.

07 Mar 2021 10:07:51
Not disputing the punishment would be different am talking about gathering and giving the craic.

07 Mar 2021 10:14:10
Great our at$eholes wouldn’t have been any brighter than their ar$eholes so that makes it fine. Any chance of some restrictions possibly being revoked on Tuesday evaporated due to concerns over a third wave. I’ll accept a longer lockdown so the Klan can celebrate their league triumph while businesses remain closed and I can’t visit my kids or see my grandkids. Absolute wallopers.

07 Mar 2021 10:28:53
Agree J wallopers a nearly list ma sister recently to this C.V. and she's still trying to recover. and not one arrest will the club be punished. slippy out condoning it today saying its been a while since last title, so that makes it OK, another 50 deaths on the strength of it.

07 Mar 2021 10:39:49
What do you expect from an organisation that got their entire concept of re existence from watching ‘ The rise and fall of Reggie Perrin ‘ (ask an older person ☺️) .

07 Mar 2021 10:47:26
Shambles, but as you're all aware, this is the Country we live in and I'm afraid it will never change.

07 Mar 2021 10:54:52
One thing that would have happened is guaranteed arrests would have taken place the image of Scottish police falling over themselves at the party to get a glimpse of slippy wasn't enough to make you laugh then you needs a personality transplant

It's been a terrible end to a run I never imagined happening following the Hoops through the 80s and 90s. We lost sight of what's important building a team and Gerard has got one after some difficulties over the last few years clearly standards have been implemented throughout the club ours have dropped.


I blame Rodgers and the board. Far too many loan signings happened under Rodgers and continued under Lennon. A fool could see we have many international players earning more money than most in the league but as a certain Roy Keane argued that doesn't make you a good player.

The nonsense Eddy will be sold for a a fixed price is utter rubbish we now hear that Kennedy deserves a chance of being manager there's negativity all over the club. The only way to put that right is to ensure a top coaching team are in place quickly surely that's what will happen I personality don't think Kennedy should be anywhere near the job at the moment and should go and learn his trade I think we need a big personality at the club as we have seen this generation are way too quick to down tools and roll over. Got a funny feeling a certain #7 will be back with a with a director of football.

07 Mar 2021 10:56:40
Mally sorry to hear about your sister it’s an absolute disgrace. Filmed from Stevie Gs jeep apparently by the halfwit in the passenger seat which is testament to Stevie’s IQ. We’re all under house arrest. We’re a year down the line. We can’t travel outside the area. Half the country is furloughed. We’re getting jagged to prevent more deaths with threats of going nowhere if we don’t. But the Klan gather while the police clear a path and one of Scotland’s finest falls on his ar$e but heh ho all’s feckn well!

07 Mar 2021 11:04:45
there will be no punishment as we have seen with there cv breaches this year and the 4 red cards the should have had in the space of a month to no penalty's against this season either. listen they have played great this season but there path has been made a lot clearer and smoother wile every other clubs seasons have been disrupted massively with cv protocols yet this is the club who has breached them more than any other club whose players were always out partying.

there will be no punishment the people who hand the punishment out would have been popping champagne yesterday as well. we should know by now what were up against and if our club do not take it to task and really do something about it then it will be like its always been robbed of success. this season has been our own fault but was made a lot more difficult with what CV did to us a lot of the punishment very unjust wile a other club are allowed to do as they please.

the new compliance officer is well known rangers fan and season ticket holder yet nothing is Sayed. this is them think there back and will be trying to full certain positions with there men were they think decisions will go against them. the compliance officer being replaced with one of them after they complained for years about her should make this clear to see.

07 Mar 2021 11:10:52
This is not about what about ary If that was Celtic the Fish would have been on TV by now condemning the actions threatening this and that the police would have made atleast a dozen arrests not just saying don't do it again. This really is the country we live in and adding a political point to this if any one thinks Scotland would be better off on our own just think off the differences that are made between the two clubs as far as the government and police act bad now but heaven help us if we got independence.

{Ed007's Note - Oh how I miss those times when it was me sitting half-pished at 11 o'clock on a Sunday morning.}

07 Mar 2021 11:34:24
Tony you were doing well there. But what the feck has independence got to do with it? What protection do you think being ruled by England gives us? I think you’ll find there are more Union Jacks and as much anti-Catholicsm south of the border. Not to mention those celebrating Stevie Gs victory in the Irish stronghold of Liverpool and elsewhere. You’re a unionist fine. But I just don’t get people that can sing Ireland for the Irish having a problem with a Scotland for the Scottish.

07 Mar 2021 11:35:07
One of the reasons Scotland failed with independence was the tactics involved within many lodges churches councils and whatever bent corrupted organisations you can think of.

I voted yes and I was pretty drunk at the time. Never thought it would turn out like this. But one thing is true we are the minority in Scotland maybe not so much in the central belt but it is what it is. HH onwards and upwards.

07 Mar 2021 11:38:22
Ed 😂.

{Ed007's Note - 😉

07 Mar 2021 11:55:04
Tony the only way to get rid of tories is Independence cause Labour are a shambles.
