Was at Celtic the musical, last night and what a great night it was, BR was there as well in the audience.
As we left my oldest son said to me " dad thanks for bringing me up a Celtic supporter" my reply was,
Son there is no other team to support.
god its good to be a Celt .

Hail hail.

09 Sep 2016 22:19:24
Was there myself mate got wee blether with bertie pics with br nice fella . But have to admit had a lump in my throat most offf the evening thd cast told our history in a, funny, sad, heart felt way and the audience played their part trully great night.

Lovely moment for you mate made extra special by the fact that we come from such a traditional Irish Catholic area.

10 Sep 2016 02:39:22
Eh what if you come from a not so Catholic area and are not so Irish Catholic. what if you are a prod who loves Celtic don't be a fecking bigot. never thought I'd use these words rise above, Celtic is so much more than religion where I come from that stuff does not matter. hail hail let's get into these orange b? s ironic I know. out of interest is there any Catholic's who support the Huns?

10 Sep 2016 07:42:27
My youngest brother is a current buns. I have 5 brothers and he is the only one to be one of them and yes we are all catholics.

10 Sep 2016 11:19:06
Right lads, keep religion out of it, it's football and we'll leave the bitterness to them. HH.

10 Sep 2016 11:22:45
What happened to my reply ed? there was nothing offensive on it, it just pointed out that i wasn't a bigot because i am of Irish Catholic descent, will the panty wetters on here be upset because The Famine emblem will be on the strip today? IT SHOULD BE ON IT EVERY WEEK.

{Ed001's Note - it was a bile filled rant. Grow up.}

10 Sep 2016 15:35:14
There wasn't any bile on it we ARE an IRISH CATHOLIC team and me and CPRS do come from an area specifically built to house immgrants from DONEGAL, DERRY and GALWAY google it its called WHITECROOK, you support an english club so why can you comment on stuff you don't know about, 2 PROTESTANT BHOYS run our bus and are close friends of mine, there has only been one sectarian team in scotland RANGERS, its very naive of you to accuse me of bigotry just because i'm of Irish Catholic descent we don't ask players what their religion is, it was fantastic to see my team win.

{Ed001's Note - there was plenty of bile on it. You were being an arse, an abusive arse to the poster you disagreed with. As for that crap about who I support, you are just proving yourself to be a bigoted fool by thinking that is relevant. Just shut up about religion and take it somewhere else or shove it up your backside. This is for football not for religion. If you don't like it go away and don't waste my time with your bigotry thinking you know more about it because I support an English club. You know nothing lad and you are just embarrassing yourself by proving your own bigotry with your words. As for where you come from, I really don't care, nor should anyone else, it doesn't make you any better or worse than anyone else. And you are a moron or a liar if you think Celtic fans are not as guilty of sectarianism as Rangers. You are all as bad as each other. Time you grew up and dropped the medieval crap and learnt to behave like adults. Oh and please shut up about being an Irish Catholic, no one cares, it is irrelevant to anyone with a brain in their head.}

Remember what Stokes done to their defence in the cup final?

Now imagine what Sinclair is going to do the mora. ;)

Hail Hail

Can't wait for game tomorrow, although I am not best pleased to be sitting right beside the sevconites.

10 Sep 2016 04:27:36
But they have "EPL Standard" senderos now all is well.

09 Sep 2016 19:33:48
Two of my ex bear pals have just told me they have their team to win tomorrow at 9/ 2 and one has covered bet by draw at 16/ 5, such a shame to see them lose money again.

09 Sep 2016 19:54:59
The bookies must have taken a lot of money on Celtic for odds to be that high on Rangers.

09 Sep 2016 20:44:32
What bookie gave your pals 9/ 2? I only got 4/ 1.

09 Sep 2016 19:12:36
Got to love the official celtic site stating your official glasgow derby matchday guide not a peep of the auld or old firm lol never let them forget. Also saw a thing where a sevco fan argued so if jesus did and was resurrected shouldn't he be called newco jesus and all his previous miracles stripped from him. bless you just wonder how they dress themselves in the morning? Mon the hoops let's pump the zombies tomorrow 🍀🍀🍀.

09 Sep 2016 15:48:54
I was genuinely expecting to score 4 or 5 tomorrow if LG was fit but if MD starts I'm not quite as confident. Does anybody else feel the same way? It's not a slight on MD it's just that LG is on fire right now.

09 Sep 2016 15:52:30
Same with Griffiths you are guaranteed shots on target leading to more goals.

09 Sep 2016 17:28:01
The goals will come no matter who is our main striker.

09 Sep 2016 19:15:39
It will be a blow if griffiths is out but with the likes of dembele, Sinclair, rogic, Roberts, even Forrest, I'm not as concerned as I would have been last season. If the team turn up, play to they're potential then I've no doubt we'll win. Also with a manager now that can change things when needed or aren't working unlike RD. Still think griffiths will make it though.

09 Sep 2016 22:19:48
I think we'll get 45 or 60 minutes out of him as I expect Dembele to start in the Nou Camp.

09 Sep 2016 13:05:47
PLEASE STAY SAFE TOMORROW

Guys the girls and I will not be going tomorrow for the following reasons.
1) I do not intend to be part of all the fake hype over the new club.
2) if my ex bear pals are anything to go by, the deluded really think they will win tomorrow, based on a testimonial, Senderos "EPL standard" and listening to the media.
3) No closed circuit tv operations in Glasgow.
4) The SFA have left it open for the return of the "Chelsea hordes" tomorrow as no charges can be brought for attacking people, only for any damage caused, so at least we will get money to repair our damaged seats and toilets.
5) Make no mistake THEY will cause trouble tomorrow.
6) To all my fellow Celtic fans attending tomorrow, please DO NOT get sucked in, let them shame themselves and their old/ new club
sit back enjoy our victory and LAUGH at their antics.

09 Sep 2016 14:01:27
Hope the other boys in blue are vigilante and nip any trouble or damage to our 5 star stadia in the bud remember these people are not used to decent facilities.

09 Sep 2016 18:47:14
Just make sure they keep those animals masquerading as "Rangers" fans penned in in their area! They will be looking for any excuse to cause trouble! They are disgusting excuses for human beings!

09 Sep 2016 07:03:54
I think we'll win tomorrow but not by the margins some are predicting. Yes we have better players at our disposal since the semi final but so have they. The biggest problem that day was that we couldn't get the ball off them. Their midfield dominated ours and once again Brown and Bitton will start for us. We have already proved this season in Gibralter and Israel that we are no where near the finished article. If we are to win we need to get the ball into Rogic quickly and then let him thread balls into the striker and wingers. They shouldn't be able to deal with our pace but we need to make sure we are in positions to use it. I'd love 4 or 5 but it won't happen. I'd bite your hand off for 1 nil. HH.

09 Sep 2016 07:33:46
What are you mad 1-0 to us and sevco will feel they have won the league. We WILL WIN COMFORTABLY. every player in our starting eleven will be our to prove we are the best team in the league. Rodgers won't take them lightly and will set us up properly and we will play to our strengths.

09 Sep 2016 08:19:40
Say this almost every game.
One more than them will do me.

09 Sep 2016 08:31:13
Agreed LM67 don't think we're as good as we think we are and seen to many of the old versions of these games to know what you can do with the form book. As you point out we still have Brown and Biton in the middle of the park. Brown I'm yet to be convinced is back to what he was and able to bully the middle of the park. And if the weans In the street set about me I wouldn't take Biton with me for handlers. So it's 2-0 or 3-1 for me max.

09 Sep 2016 08:33:56
We have been leaking goals all season and we still don't have a settled defensive unit and goalie so I can see us winning but conceding.

09 Sep 2016 08:36:42
The score may not be overly comfortable but i expect the performance to be.

We have strengthened and strengthened better than sevco but a big advantage we have is the under performing players from last year have imoroved significantly ie broony and forrest.

We have a new management team which are bringing in a more free flowing style which suits the group of players we have. Its still bedding in of course but from RD time its night and day.

Hampden last year sevco deserved there win, however imo i can't remember us playing so bad against them and it still took pens to put us to bed. Any time we got beyond the half way line we looked like scoring against them and they still don't look great defensive wise.

In there 4 years of existence sevco haven't played a good celtic team, they played against a couple RD teams but this is far different.

Winning is a necessity against this mob but if we get an early goal and they have to attack i'm expecting us to pick them off.

HH.

09 Sep 2016 09:16:01
Good post lm67 said earlier in week a think this will be closer than most on here think.

09 Sep 2016 09:23:17
Marco1888 couldn't disagree more to be honest! Like another poster said, we got dominated in Israel a couple of weeks ago and beat by a pub team not to long ago either! Yes be confident but let's take the green tinted specs off! We've conceded a goal in our 3 league games this season and 2 against st Johnstone! We were lucky to keep to 2 against hapoel! Hardly inspiring! Yes I want to hammer them and if we're on top form that could happen! But to say beating them just 1 nil would be like winning the league for them is nonsense! I would take any victory if offered it right now! 1 nil 2-1 it wouldn't matter a bit! Surely u must know by now that these games are never as simple as they seem!

09 Sep 2016 10:11:37
Hi Tick67.
Good comments there.
Biton beside Brown could cause US more problems than them.
However we have a totally different mentality to last season and that along with the new additions of Sinclair and Kolo should be more than enough to skelp Sevco.

I'd also play Patrick Roberts ahead of James Forrest as I think he will be desperate to make up for the sitter last season. Him and Sinclair can terrorise their defence and stop them from thinking about having an attacking option.

HH bhoys.

09 Sep 2016 10:50:33
Absolutely milan i would start roberts my only concern is his lack of recent game time, think he will maybe come on around the 60 min mark.

Couldn't agree more about biton and brown although I think broony is turning the corner and he will be busting a gut to get 1 over on JB and the rest of the zombie midfield.

I think over the whole park we have too much for them and they never look like they have a plan B in them.
I have also noticed there slow starts to games and we seem to come firing out the blocks which we should capitalise upon.

HH.

09 Sep 2016 09:35:06
Sevco have strengthened, how so? From where I'm sitting all I see are an array of of old timers at the back and third rate youngsters from Accrington Stanley and similar desperate loanees to show them that they are signing "quality".

In contrast Celtic, whilst not the finished article have bought well and more importantly made those already on the staff perform better. We are a project in progress and I for one am proud to be a Celtic Man. Score will be 3-0 to us with Miller being sent off.

09 Sep 2016 12:47:03
Same as last time we played them. Many fans thought we'd hit them for double figures and look what happened so let's keep our ambitious predictions in check.
If we beat them 1-0 I'll be ecstatic and I'll go home happy, anything more is a bonus. HH.

09 Sep 2016 14:42:01
OK wiss. what where the scores when we played both those teams at cp. Which is were we are playing tomorrow. And that hapoel team are way better than sevco. Sevco have struggled in every game this season and they have even played a good team yet. Well till tomorrow that is and I am expecting a comfortable win and display. To show our dominance. And the sad thing is . is Mr king doesn't have the finances to purchase better quality players in Jan. So this will be the best they can get.

09 Sep 2016 15:13:31
Yeh Marco I can't disagree about the Scorelines at CP, but remember hapoel had us on the ropes for a spell in that game. all I'm saying mate is we're conceding goals far to easily for me to be overly confident. and right now I would take any victory! Yes like u I hope that it's convincing and we wipe the floor with this lot. i want BR to send them out there to go for the jugular! Really embarrass them. but I'm just saying let's not take it for granted that's what will happen, because we all know strange things can happen in these games. but I really hope your on here this time tomorrow pal telling me I told u so after we've destroyed them! Lol HH.

09 Sep 2016 15:58:06
Wiss we where 3-0 up in that game and cruising and we lost concentration but we kicked on again and put the tie to bed. Sevco won't be given the same hope we will kill the game and hit them on the break constantly as they will be trying to push on us.

09 Sep 2016 00:42:06
Ed, how likely is Griffiths to be fit for Saturday and Tuesday.

{Ed007's Note - Well he's not definitely out.}

09 Sep 2016 09:43:58
Judging by BR comments it looks as if he'll not risk LG in sat as there is obviously a slight concern at best. Hopefully see him back in action on tue. Dembele will slot in tomorrow perfectly with SS, TR and JF or PR doing the damage.

09 Sep 2016 13:03:54
Kennedy said earlier in the week he was better than 50/ 50 so what's changed in a few days.
