Celtic banter 2

30 Aug 2026 00:39:17
I'm looking to take my 17yesr old son to see us playing Benfica.

Can anyone enlighten my how I could go about getting tickets without being scammed?

30 Aug 2026 14:44:15
One of two things will happen

1. You need to buy the full package, assuming it goes on general sale. This will depend on uptake by season ticket holders. .
2. They may sell tickets for each game individually if the packages don't sell out.

You will need to check website regularly to see if tickets go on sale. You can also register so you get an email. I reckon they won't sell out this season.

So I guess you can say "job done today".
My take on the game was that we controlled it well. Big Hassan looks like he will take some stopping on the wing. Looking forward to seeing him up to full speed. Duran played through the middle in his natural position looked very good and created chances. Nygren had an off day and less said the better. Yang and Kieran linked up well on the left and this will be an important area of build up in our coming games.
Now the negatives. CCV is struggling to get back to form and looks like he's lugging around a trailer full of breeze blocks. Trusty just baffles me. World class one week, Sunday league the next. Colby Donavan, if this lad would just believe in himself a bit more, he'd be absolutely top class. I watched Andy Robertson in the Spurs game bombing up and down the wing without a care and I really think Donovan could be that good! James Forrest is still a worthy sub to bring on and McCowan is just devoid of any confidence at this time and looks like a terrified rabbit in the headlights. Tounetki's performance was just in keeping with his general play just now, lacking.

This team is no way perfect but I seen some really good football today and there are massive positives to look at. A few more in the door and we could be well punching in the Europa.
Back to today, 3 points and we move on to midweek. Hoping the hoards of scum drop more points tomorrow against Aberdeen which should in turn help us as they will need to work for it.
Well done bhoys, another win!

30 Aug 2026 14:23:05
Agree with most of your post but James forrest has been past it the last 4 seasons. Sad indictment that he still gets game time.

30 Aug 2026 15:10:36
It's even sadder that for some spells he was still the best winger at the club.

Totally agree Rab.

We just need someone in midfield to drive us forward. We really lack that person and with the players we have up front we could be frightening on the break.

30 Aug 2026 08:43:25
Rab he should have saved it.

30 Aug 2026 10:13:40
Pretty much agree with all of that Rab.

Not enough vertical passing for me, nothing really cutting their defensive lines, particularly in the first half. It got a bit better later on in the game but we fluffed our chances. After a humiliation midweek that really was just about points on the board.

Donovan looks to be developing well and either he's wearing smaller shorts or he's grown a bit more of a frame over the past few months. He looks like he could be a very physical RB and he's shown some great vision at times to intercept some good passes. Looks like he might be able to put a decent ball in too. Quite excited about the lad and he's a real positive so far this season.

Hassan can go by a man. Let's see him cut out some of the nonsense and direct that ability towards an end product.

Going out in the CL qualifier is always a bitter pill. The board, and MON know it’s what fans crave more than almost anything but truth be told we were a mess last season. Our goals scored fell through the floor. That bit looks resolved.
Maybe I’m the eternal optimist but I think we will have a few good players in before the window closes.

We now have goals in the team and if we can find a bit more steel and flair in the middle and some cover at the back we will not be going into the final day of the league needing a win. I’m not against a couple of quality loan deals if the bulk of our spending is for our future. EL is not what we want but currently it’s our level.

29 Aug 2026 22:01:07
I agree Cesar, what's infuriating is we won't get what's required before the window closes, yeah we'll probably win the league again but a good few quality signings and we could have a crack at the Europa league, as it stands we'll probably be lucky to get out the group stage.

Aw that doller in the bank . is ring fenced for something coming soon guys! 🤞 its for the good of the club 🙏.

30 Aug 2026 09:53:24
Cesar, keep seeing people saying EL is our level. That statement is the setting in of apathy and an acceptance of lower standards. There is a condition called “self fulfilling prophecy”, it’s a form of clinical depression. It begins with a feeling of being not good enough which leads to subconsciously putting in less effort, which in turn leads to other failures, that in turn feeds back and is used to justify the original feeling of not being good enough. In football terms if we don’t snap out of it, we’ll enter the EL with lower expectations and standards and just repeat the process.

And then the same for the Conference, at which point the board say I told you so now go away and be happy being a reasonably big fish in a small puddle.
We need to stop this slide now. We are a Champions League club in every sense of the word, we just don’t act like one because of the actions of a few frightened old men. Unless of course, they have another agenda.

29 Aug 2026 17:29:48
Huffin' Puffin', gifted a goal by Bain, squandering chances. Gifted the opposition a goal to ensure a nervy finish. Falkirk are a long way off CL teams but so are we.

29 Aug 2026 19:22:07
Sinasola complicate again but still no keeper coming feck me the world's a big place and there's keepers and lbs out there.

29 Aug 2026 23:26:13
I really hate to keep pointing this out but in my view, the majority of goals scored against us come from our own undoing! That goal to them today was another gift and ensured a nervy last few minutes.
Maybe Buzz could do us a stat on just how our goals are conceded!

That is one of the main issues I have Rab, we have known for donkeys what the issues are in the team and our board have still not addressed them. If we don't address our midfield issues before window closes, I can see us drop a lot of points this season and it will be on the board.

I remember similar happening when WGS was the manager, our CBS were pish and he didn't get a decent lb the whole time he was the manager. Every time we gave away a set piece near our box, more often than not they scored.

30 Aug 2026 06:57:53
Rab he should have saved it the boy hardly hit it.

29 Aug 2026 17:11:17
Clutching at straws time

Do we have a legitimate excuse for Tuesday with this bug that seemed to go around a few of our players.

29 Aug 2026 19:21:23
Fail to prepare, then prepare to fail. Same old.

29 Aug 2026 19:19:31
No, we were 4-0 up. I'll be raging for a good few weeks.

29 Aug 2026 12:22:21
I read about the young midfielder 19 and 6 feet 2
Sounds promising right, WRONG some on here complaining why?

OK he is not the £6m+ players we wanted, but give the lad a chance if he comes he is showing ambition to go to next level and just now I will take a young motivated skilful player over these over inflated CL chasing guys who turned us down.

29 Aug 2026 15:57:30
Not sure many of the players we were supposed to be chasing ended up at a CL club just usual narrative from our ever reliable media.

29 Aug 2026 16:21:17
He is obviously lot ready for first team as he is playing with psv team in another league.

29 Aug 2026 17:04:31
Hi Tim good to have you back he's mainly played for psv youth team, now that doesn't mean he's no good but we need first team ready players not projects and if he's that good why does psv not play him, we need a cdm with decent experience that can snuff out attacks but I ain't holding my hreath.

29 Aug 2026 17:18:52
Might be received better if he was coming in alongside some first team starters instead of.

29 Aug 2026 18:20:22
He looks a good prospect. Good size, technically sound and has scored some belters outside of the area which could be a good tool for the low block going forward this season.

29 Aug 2026 19:12:01
It is just the downgrading again. Why we cannot still buy the players we were looking at before our CL exit.

We still have difficult games in Europa and we still need to build a good enough team.

We have the money and will still make money in the Europa.

It is down to a cowardly unambitious board of old men who have absolutely no idea of how the modern football game works.

They are a group of ineffective clowns, a CEO who takes money from the club but is afraid to invest in the clubs future and spend our money.

It is shambles of a situation.

Today demonstrates how this season is going to go again. We may be able to score goals but we will conceded many this season as our defence has absolutely no protection.

The 18yr old we are looking to buy isn't the defensive midfield player we need.

We are so short of first team and bench players.

Reo is going to hang around because no one wants him, Balikwisha is away but we are so short in midfield and defence.

KT will not last a full season. CCV is not fit, Trusty is a bomb scare and Scales is a warrior but has no pace.

They just seem determined to blow up any bridge between them and us the supporters.

It makes me laugh that the club across the city are spending a lot of money and they don't have European football, but they understand the importance of finishing first this season.

Our board just seem to put their hands over our ears and shut the noise out.

Absolutely gutted by them.

30 Aug 2026 05:09:35
So we sell Engels for 22 million and buy a youth player from psv youth team for 50 pence. Seems like we are down sizing because the board fecked up yet again.

30 Aug 2026 08:31:12
It sums up the performance of this board for many, many, many years Joe.

It is just world class downsizing.

30 Aug 2026 09:28:10
Well Nicholson did say they would be world class in everything they do @MIP 😛

They are also world class at getting pumped out in the CL qualifiers.

29 Aug 2026 15:30:02
A winger who wants to take on a man and entertain! Who'd have think it!

29 Aug 2026 20:24:24
Until its coached out him! Pass back to cal mac, slow the pace n back to sinasalo. 🙈.

29 Aug 2026 18:23:57
Solid enough first start considering he isn't fully fit yet. Seems to hold his width a bit too much. Hopefully with some coaching we can get him driving in more and having a pop at goal as he looks like he can beat the fullbacks at will.

29 Aug 2026 21:21:46
Hopefully he doesn’t speak the language and just ignores everyone.

29 Aug 2026 21:21:46

30 Aug 2026 05:10:34
Don't get your hopes up as tounekti was the same when he arrived. We will coach that out of him soon enough. 🤣.

29 Aug 2026 13:38:04
Why are Celtic unable to spend money on players (still have a negative net spend) , even though we are by far the richest club in Scotland and have the means to outspend everyone?

I wonder how much we will give to the taxman this year?

29 Aug 2026 17:47:23
Remember mate, the No.7 and dugouts are best in class.

30 Aug 2026 05:12:07
Good to see the money going to good use. 🤣.

Already down to the bare bones. Bench is pish, as is the defence and midfield.

29 Aug 2026 15:22:42
That could be the worst bench I've seen in many years, that just shows you the work that still needs to be done.

29 Aug 2026 09:33:04
Is it time for the collective to start targeting corporate sponsors?
Would love the GB to have a large tifo to adidas " we're not buying it", and Dafabet "gambling doesn't pay, ask our board ". But would probably get them banned again.

29 Aug 2026 13:29:50
Unbelievable. OK the board are knobs but aye let's piss aff Adidas and Dafabet and go back to having 'Peoples' in orange on our shirts. and bring in zero sponsorship money!

29 Aug 2026 17:41:17
Do you actually think the ‘not another penny’ campaign and other protests have gone unnoticed by these people? We NEED to put as much pressure as possible on this board by any and every means. Doing nothing is not an option! How much lower do you want the reputation of this club to go? And quite frankly what’s the point in having sponsorship money if we don’t use it to benefit the team or the stadium? So don’t really care if board member bonuses get cancelled and HMRC have to go without.

Also if we decline any further they won’t want to be associated with us for much longer anyway.
