Listening to Radio Snyde tonight (Why? I'll tell ye why. It's the only one left apart fae ). Anyways, it's the FIRST TIME EVER I have heard Keevins and the rest of them admit that Celtic might go to England. After being CONSTANTLY told over the years that this would NEVER happen.....wee Shug now says that "Nothing is forever"! That pain Gordon DL ALSO admitted that the Kilmarnock gaffer said "Celtic are too big for Scottish football" S*Y will decide if and when it happens, not the SFA, UEFA or FIFA! Demand will dictate! HH! God bless. Your thoughts ED? {Ed007's Note - It will never happen. So S*y now control world football because they have the rights to the EPL, that's just complete nonsense.}

It will never happen. And I for one don't want it to. I don't want to cart my backside up and down England. We're a Scottish team. We play in SCOTLAND

It will never happen mate, we need to start dedicating our time and thoughts to rebuilding our game. The sooner Rangers get there act together the better. The game needs a strong old firm, end of. I dont want them back before they have climbed the leagues fairly and squarely but the sooner the 3 years are up the better for scottish football. And i was at the game on wednesday lads, just incase you question my allegiances.

How do you ed know it will never happen? {Ed007's Note - Well one main problem is that under current FIFA statutes teams must play in the league where they are geographically based. What's to stop Real Madrid and Barca joining the EPL, or Ajax joining the Serie A?}

Your spot on ed...... That's why a lot of clubs are looking at an Atlantic league

Hail hail

The United Kingdom really is a special case, we already are one nation until very recently with one government. One currency, one monetary system, same political parties.
Northern Ireland and Wales have never in their histories been sovereign countries. They are principalities.
Celtic playing the EPL teams week in week out is the future.
The alternative is Celtic TV and fans money going to other SPL teams. That's what they are calling for redistribution of income. They overspend and want more from the Celtic generated pot.

poster no 2 there is no old firm its only us and some mob called sevco who are barely 8/9 months old that used too make up part of the old firm

Strictly speaking Northern Ireland is not part of the UK. Great Britain is made up of the United Kingdom AND Northern Ireland..if you check something as simple as your passport you'll find confirmation of this.

Where FIFA & UEFA are concerned we are in our home nations and we belong in the Country that is Scotland. Mrs E {Ed001's Note - actually you are incorrect, you have that the wrong way round. UK includes Northern Ireland, Great Britain is just the biggest of the British Isles, ie England, Scotland and Wales.}

You are indeed right Ed001..I did have it the wrong way around but still I would say for footballing purposes, we are in our home nations Mrs E {Ed001's Note - I wasn't disagreeing with your overall point, just wanted to cut off all the posts pointing out your error before they started!}

ED what about Auckland of New-zeland moving to the Australian A-League a few years back and talks progressing for a Balkan League for 2015? I know the EPL is highly unlikely but surely the Auckland example is an indicator that the EPL isnt a mere pipe dream, while the Balkan League leads to a decent possibility of setting up a league with the biggerclubs of Scandanavia, Denamrk, Belgium, Holland?

G93 {Ed001's Note - Auckland is a special case, they don't have a league of their own to play in, just like the Welsh teams didn't when they started playing in England. While there is a Scottish league, UEFA won't allow a team from there to move down to the English one. I don't see how Auckland's case is relevant to UEFA rules anyway. Secondly a Balkan league or similar is very much a possibility and has been discussed many times. I seem to remember the name being mooted as the 'North Atlantic League', but I could be mistaken. That is the most likely possibility, though I fail to see why Celtic fans are so desperate to leave behind the Scottish league. If they put half as much money and effort into helping out grassroots football in Scotland, as they do into looking to get out of Scottish football, then there would be a much higher level of competition. The only reason to leave is greed, pure and simple.}

That's alright Ed001...I can handle them. Females have to make small errors every now & then, give men a chance. I'm going to admit another one in that I don't understand this whole playing in England thing. There is no way I want to plat anywhere else other than Celtic Park. Would Celtic have to move football grounds for this to be a possibility? Just wondering..Mrs E {Ed001's Note - it would be one way round the UEFA ruling, except that it would take special dispensation for a club to not just move their homebase the distance required, but also to change country and league. It really requires UEFA to change their stance or the Scottish league to collapse.}

Just for the record..I don't want Celtic to leave. I would much rather see our game developed but that is going to take time. Look at Belgium though, they've got a cracking national side now but where do the 'star' players play, it's not in Belgium & this is the problem Mrs E

Much like Mrs E, i want Celtic to remain in Scottish Football. Brother Walfrid set up our fine club to help the poor in this country.

Incidentally i did read something in a Celtic fanzine, The Thunder, it had an article on Womens football in Holland and Belguim. These two countries have the same league and UEFA allowed it. If they allowed that to strengthen the Womens game then they may allow teams to start an atlantic league to strengthen the mens game in Sweden, Scotland and Holland.

Exactly..we stay where Brother Walfrid intended. Mrs E

Looks like we have upset Mr Messi. Moaning about their players are bigger than ours. That a bit like my dads bigger that your dad.


Barcelona superstar Lionel Messi believes Celtic were 'very lucky' to pull off their historic victory over the Catalan giants at Parkhead on Wednesday night.
The Hoops triumphed 2-1 in front of a jubilant home crowd in Group G of the UEFA Champions League to mark a win which will live long in the memory of those associated with the Glasgow club.
Messi, who scored what turned out to be Barca's consolation strike in stoppage time, believes Celtic were fortunate to get the result.
And the Argentina ace feels they only scored their opening goal, which came from a corner, because they have bigger players in their team than the Primera Liga side.
He said in the Daily Record: "They were very lucky. It's a shame but we just couldn't do anything about it.
"We did everything in the game but just couldn't get past them.
"Celtic came at us twice and got two goals from it. When they scored they just locked their defence.
"The first goal from the corner arrived because they are a bigger team than us - it was the same as their goal in the Nou Camp.
"The second goal was our own fault.
"We did everything well and made good chances but the ball just didn't go in."

Messi's line of thinking is 'You're not supposed to win, just turn up and lay down' no doubt. Celtic did themselves proud, helped boost the credibiltiy of the Scottish game at home and abroad, especially after the National Teams disaster. I'm not a celtic fan, but even i realize that we need a feel good factor brought back in to our game (We badly need it) at this time. My celtic pals at work are still buzzing from Wednesday night, ribbing me about the Gers playing lowly Peterhead on Saturday. All in good fun of course. Something that maybe Messi could learn a thing or two from. bigbaz

Maybe lionel should worry about how much bigger barcalonas debt is than ours if the financial fair play becomes effective,,,deep river bhoy

I don't care what anyone says, I really don't. I just can't get enough of watching clips of the game, Champions League Goals & anything on the telly about Celtic from Wednesday night.

We have 7 points in out CL group and have defeated Barcelona, favourites to win the competition. I loved Wednesday, everything about it and knew exactly how Rod Stewart felt when he was crying.

Our Manager is 41 years old with just over 2 years experience and has built this team. The team played with passion, as a team, for the club and jersey, for the Management, for the supporters, for themselves..nothing anyone can say or do will ever take that away.

The amount of positive press coverage and adulation Celtic are getting at the moment, not just in Scotland, is absolutely one million per cent deserved and I LOVE IT ~ Mrs E

I like Messi and his comments are in no way offensive to Celtic.

As he said, we took our chances and he has admitted they 'did everything well'. ~ Mrs E

So Mr messi says we only had two shots and scored with both. To me that translates that we had a 100% success rate therefore by that statistic we were the better team! sounds like he has spat the dummy.

Doesnt mean u was the better team at all just means u took ur chances which is what a underdog team needs to do

Aye ah no ye dae mrs e here is ma soak (rite waqn ) undur your bed fur sum raisin cos wee veras huntin low n low fur it ?

I've had a look and it's not there Pat..have you checked with Tim and Ed007, maybe under their bed. Was it your good socks as well ? Mrs E {Ed007's Note - I dread to think what he has used that sock for!}

Maybe the wee man should learn from his team mates, who have lost graciously and conceded that they can have no complaints about the result. And 2 chances? Pile of ****e! Mulgrew could have scored when he was staring Victor Valdes in the eyes but sliced his shot, Tony Watt would have given them a proper red neck if Mascherano hadn't pulled him back. I know it wouldnt have finished 3-0 but we should have been 3-0 nil up there. OOOHH and the fact that they would have had Song & Mascherano sent off if the ref had any plums on him.

I deal in facts, and the wee man in my eyes has just proven why he isn't perfect.

Anyways who cares short arse, 2-1 to the Celts! Get it up ye, ya wee bawbag

Jardine what a clown jus read his comment congratulating us haha

JARDINE was correct,celtic haven't acheived what rangers have....... like being liquidated!

Lets see 15 years down the road when we are as old as rangers and see how succesful we have been, and have a look at rangers 15 year old son failing to walk in his fathers footsteps

@ 2 in 15 years time rangers will be 15

There will be no Rangers next year never mind 15 years time , liquidation ends it .
