Just read Neymar saying the Celtic support can't affect him coz he's a wee billy big bawz. If anybody can rattle up a 'Neymar is a Fud' or 'Neymar est un Fud' banner so they can read it in France I'm happy to chip in ยฃ50 from the cash I've saved taking the wife tae the show for our 30th anniversary! What a talent but what a bawbag! ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ‘โ˜˜๏ธ.

Sod him, he's only 1 player, decent but a wee nyaff. Btw seems the bookies are seriously underestimating our chances, 14s in some places just to win. PSG are decent, but no Barca. They only scored most of their goals at weekend when other team had guy sent off. Armstrong 1st goal and 3-2 then buy a new car :-)

Let's no waste our energy tonight booing Neymar. Feck him. We need to get behind the team, roar them on. Give them a boost. We are there to see our young players take these people on. Diverting that energy to focus on giving him a hard time deflects from directing that energy to our players.

We know on paper, a lot of paper they should hammer us. The world knows that, we know that. The problem is we don't play on paper. I absolutely believe we will score. We have defensive issues but it us what it is now and whoever cones in needs to step up and be both brave and good.

Getting anything from this game will be brilliant in our main battle, 3rd place. That's the reality and for me totally achievable. Will we take points off the big guns?

I wouldn't put it past us. As long as our bhoys give it their all and show we can play against these overpriced pricks then I will be proud of them.

I'm proud of them already. Get feckin tore into them Celtic. We will be kicking every ball with you. Good luck and have no fear.

When people say to me, they will tear you apart, I smile and say maybe they will.

But what I am thinking is.

Aye, do you fecking think so.

No feckin prisoners.

Well said Magic, did you see Nicham's comments, he said doesn't matter how much money you spend, when you are on the pitch you have 2 feet and everybody just plays, that for me is a great statement and must be the spirt of the whole team.

I like that attitude. I like that a lot. As long as we take them on. Throw a couple of good punches, show we can play then I will be proud of them. This is the chance for our players to show what they are about.

No fear. And if they beat us at least let them leave knowing we made a mockery of the resources gap.

Peter Holy Sacrament of Marriage and all that divorce not allowed! She knew when draw was made the show was a non-starter. After 30 years of marriage it's been quite like following Celtic. It's had its ups and downs-some great times-and some not so great times. But it's a love affair that's for life and despite the highs and lows of both I wouldn't change either for all the worlds gold โ˜˜๏ธ.

This reminds me of Seville. My sister in law had set her wedding day for the day after the final. We had been to Stuttgart that year and after it, one if iur crew bought tickets for the final, we got six. My girlfriend at the time, later my wife and I had this conversation regarding the wedding.

Her: Well, it's my sisters wedding so you can't go. We need to go to her wedding.

Me: I have been supporting my team all my life. This might never happen again and to let you understand how I feel about this, if our wedding day had been on that day, that would be cancelled never mind your fecking sisters.

Her: are you serious.

Me: look at my face.

At her other sisters house she brought up I wasn't going to the wedding, trying to garner support for me to reconsider. Her brother in law, a bluenose looked at her with a totally incredulous expression and said to her.

Tam: Are you fecking mental? If it was us in the final there's no fecking way I'd be going to the wedding either.

Game over. It's was over well before then but she realised the score better.

Missing Seville for a wedding when we had tickets? Have you ever heard such insanity. ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ˜‚.

Stewart Reagan say it's about a rivalry between clubs which shows how far offf tjhe mark the SFA are on this issue.
It's about ensuring clarity to learn from previous mistakes and making sure this doesn't happen again
Also about stripping some titles as well. . ha ha.

I'm all for independent reviews into what went on but with Hibs and Aberdeen bottling it I don't like how increasingly likely it is for Celtic to foot the entire bill for such an enquiry.

Agree3 Disagree2

11 Sep 2017 19:56:50
I can't believe these teams are being so bloody spineless - I've lost a lot of respect for both of them.

Agree3 Disagree2

11 Sep 2017 20:13:19
It beats me what these clubs are afraid of in having an independent enquiry.
If an enquiry arrives at the truth of everything that has gone on over the years in Scottish football then how on earth can that not benefit the game in Scotland and ensure that things change.
It looks to me as if the attitude of the SFA and the clubs is that nothing needs to change, as long as everything is kept hidden then all is well.
This should be dealt with by UEFA or FIFA, when you have a governing body (the SFA) who are only interested in protecting one club then they are morally bankrupt and should be held to account.
The sad thing in all this, is that one club and their lackeys at the SFA can manipulate the other clubs into refusing to even have an investigation into past wrongdoings far less actually doing anything to put them right.
Somehow the English premier league doesn't seem so bad after all.

Agree3 Disagree2

11 Sep 2017 21:33:50
I think its getting close to a (bhoycott) of any club that the chairman says he is backing the SFA over An independent review shame for the fans of the other clubs.

Fergus took them on alone and succeed eventually in getting rid of JF. Hopefully Lawell takes this all the way after Regan basically calling him a conspiracy theorist. The evidence is overwhelming since the courts where done with Whytes trial. As for the other bad clubs he'll mend them when the fans stop going. Their chairmen won't back it but many fans are open to an investigation into the toxic relationship between Rfc and the sfa.

Agree0 Disagree0

11 Sep 2017 18:16:43
Really nice of Regan coming out and and informing everyone the We ( Celtic ) are the only club looking for a review, just a pity he was not as transparent with everything to do with to do with the whole EBT`s scandal, un fecking believable that he now tries to makes us look the bad guys .

Regan is a total disgrace, why don't you just jump before your pushed out your job.

SFA : we all know what that stands for exactly what they Sweet FA.

Believable3 Unbelievable3

11 Sep 2017 18:54:27
Regan is just the public face, removing him will do little to sort out the shenanigans going on at the SFA.

The only way we can sort that mess out and stop it happening again is to have a clear out of the perpetrators and have full transparency in the future.

Big thing for tomor night is keeping a decent shape, modern football is all abt positions and in the spl we have the ability to let people drift and to a certain extend wings cheat but not tomor night. That then limits our flare players like sinky and Roberts. Get good starting positions for their attacks and win individual battles over the pitch. We will go 1 up top as always and I'd have sinky or Roberts free to support. That means bringing in mcregor to keep the ball and make sensible passes. Easy any pressure.

Simunovic signing up for another 4 years is excellent. Brendan Rodgers will be the reason that the players want to be here. He will develop their game and being part of 10 in a row will cement their place in history. i've never seen so many young hungry players in a Celtic squad.

I see that armed police have been authorised for tomorrow nite.
On the whole, I don't buy the terror argument; I don't even think the policy is primarily about preventing terrorism or catching potential terrorists. I live abroad and can't attend as often as I like, so it doesn't directly effect me, but I am curious how you all view this.

Believable1 Unbelievable3

11 Sep 2017 12:17:26
You got s conspiracy theory you would like to share?

If an attack did happen, regardless of the level of risk and no armed cops where there, how do you think that would play out?

Yeah me too.

After the attack in Paris it has to be done. Regardless of risk.

Not a conspiracy theory, Magic, but some more or less ideological considerations, which I'll be happy to share below.

11 Sep 2017 13:28:28
After Paris, Barcelona, Manchester and everywhere else, I mean I know they were talking about making it harder to hire a van, but don't know if they have done anything yet, after everything that has happened they would be better erring on the side of caution.

Cut to the chase.

The world has changed and there will be armed police at every major event from here on in. That's just common sense. To not do that and an attack happened, we would get, they don't care about Celtic fans blah blah.

It's just a requirement now in relation to terrorism.

Agree1 Disagree3

Don't agree with it at all. Don't trust the polis wae pepper spray never mind machine guns.

Agree2 Disagree5

11 Sep 2017 15:15:14
I agree that in the extremely unlikely circumstanes of an indiscriminate attack on a large crowd, armed policing is the best way to quickly contain the threat, and will undoubtedly help to minimize the number of casualties, along with other emergency personnel. We may wish society to police every large gathering of people in this manner or not, but on this view it makes sense to allocate the resources to the largest gatherings, and the most high profile events, and perhaps especially to those with international dimensions. Maybe France, and Paris, should make us especially cautious given events of the last years.

The examples from London suggest that having armed units nearby or on call can be very effective in the event of even premeditated attacks. But I donโ€™t think this is what is being proposed: rather, I imagine visible patrols of armed officers, and all the regalia of militarized policing. Why, if we can all agree that even the most robust armed police presence will not deter such an attack (although it might conceivably cause the perpetrator to choose a โ€˜softerโ€™ target) ?

A storm-trooperesque spectacle, it can be argued, fosters certain behaviours in crowds, and by extension in the societies that they form part of. If you accept the idea that this โ€˜makes us feel safe, โ€™ as well you might, this is just one way in which an armed police presence can incline you to behave, or think, or feel, in a given way, but it is hardly the only one. Studies correlate much less intrusive surveillance practices with startling increases in self-correction, self-censorship, and broad civic obedience. People are known to curtail their self-expression by considerations of being watched, and by the potential of retribution. (Think of the videotapes being used to single out โ€˜trouble makersโ€™ in the crowd, for example) .

At a time when the corporatization of football is virtually complete, where FIFA or UEFA or โ€˜the Boardโ€™ tolerate no dissent, no sullying of their brands, all sorts of behaviours are now deemed to be undesirable, and to โ€˜have no place in football. โ€™ The anti-British-establishment songs associated with our team are a prime example, as are our โ€˜illicitโ€™ political banners. Now, does arming the police have a bearing on those sorts of behaviours? On setting off fireworks, or smuggling a flask into the ground? I would suggest it doesโ€”not on the supposition that deviant behaviour will meet with pistols at high noonโ€”but because it projects an irresistible view of authority and produces a more deferential citizenry. That, some argue, is the point of an armed police presence.

Until recently, the UK police have sought to govern by consent: the social contract and, failing that, the law itself was thought to be coercive enough to maintain order. More visceral forms of coercion are not needed, the argument goes, and are anyway incompatible with prevailing ideas about freedom and democracy. At a time of austerity, of Brexit, of Independenceโ€”all fairly momentous as politics goesโ€”it is not unreasonable to presume that some folks might reject the decisions of authority and, it may be, a new paradigm is required. Crises are often used to usher in unpopular changes. Either way, this move risks normalizing a more directly repressive and coercive version of state authority than we are accustomed to.

Didn't the armed police shoot the guys dead in London and in that place near Barcelona, and that policeman that was stabbed to death in Westminster was unarmed.

Agree0 Disagree1

11 Sep 2017 19:01:51
Let me repeat the question for you Aindoh as I don't think you quite understood it the first time.

"How would a police person with a machine gun could have STOPPED the Manchester attack or the London attack? "

I put the key word in capitals for you.

Agree2 Disagree1

11 Sep 2017 19:14:30
Ah, I see what you mean, but you agree then police armed with machine guns can stop an attacker or attackers, from killing more innocent, after the initial assault.

Agree1 Disagree0

11 Sep 2017 19:52:42
Yes shooting someone dead does stop them doing anything else but I suspect you could stop them without having armed officers with machine guns.

Here is a something to consider, why don't we just change our foreign policy and stop supporting terrorists in the first place and then the attacks wouldn't happen.

Agree2 Disagree1

It beggers belief that a man has been taken in to turn things around and this is the time he was given. Last season with 5 games remaining they lost 4 and won 1, it was that 1 win that prevented them finishing in the bottom 3. You can't turn around a team like that in 4 games the man should have been given the season to build his own team and play the system he wants.

It's thanks to SLY and these billionaire owners that every wee diddy team in Engerland has delusions of grandeur and press the panic button when things start to get tough.
Even when they do get relegated they get huge bonuses in these 'parachute payments' - that reward failure anyway, so what's all the fuss about after only four games out of 38.

Ed, is there a chance of Boyata starting tomorrow night. Will he be risked having not played any game time or are you aware of him being played in any development games or closed door games this last week or 2. If fit i'd risk him his presence attacking and defending corners or freekicks could be crucial. I really rate him and he has done nothing in the 6 months prior to injury to warrent being called a bombscare. He was one of our stand out players and I think Jozo will be glad to have him back in. I'd go with

Gordon

Lustig Boyata Simunovic Tierney

Roberts Ntcham Brown Rogic Sinclair

Griffiths.

Believable0 Unbelievable0

{Ed007's Note - Boyata's been training for a few weeks now but whether Rodgers will start him is anyone's guess just now. If he doesn't start I think we'll go with 3 at the back rather than pitch young Ajer in at the deep end or risking playing Bitton.}

11 Sep 2017 11:56:36
Cheers Ed, big decisions. Took me long enough to decide whether to choose Rogic Armstrong or McGregor, In fairness i'd be happy with any of the 3 starting. Whoever starts we have a very strong bench.

11 Sep 2017 12:05:17
3 at the back against that strike force makes me shudder ED! It maybe ok against the SPL dross but not against a team of this quality. i just hope Brendan's got at least one fit centre half to play next to jozo! If he puts bitton in there I honestly don't think I could watch it! Lol.

Agree0 Disagree0

11 Sep 2017 12:19:14
I would go with Ed'd team. What's the point having a four if the player to skit is isn't good enough as is the case.?

Won't happen though,

Agree0 Disagree0

11 Sep 2017 12:22:40
I read on here that he had been back in full training, but the international break and our next game being on a plastic pitch was bad luck in his recovery.
It's a tall order coming back in such a high profile game with so many talented opponents, so maybe too risky?
I just hope Biton is nowhere near the back four as even though he is good on the ball - he lacks strength in the tackle and power in the air, not to mention positional play.

Agree0 Disagree0

11 Sep 2017 13:19:37
I think itll be 3 at the back with possibly florrist and miller at wb. Protecting tierney and lustig. And Robert's sinclair tucking in to middle when we lose the ball.

Gordan.

Brown---ntcham
--roberts--------------Sinclair--
Griffiths.

Well Ed, That is ballsy if a do say so myself with three at the back

But heh if we ain't got a match fit other CB, fook it, let's go for it like your team selection big roaring crowd behind us

So yeah go with a system we can play with eleven match fit players rather than the alternative (Y)

{Ed007's Note - Fight fire with fire mate. PSG aren't the best when it comes to the defensive game so at home let's give them something to think about. Brown, Ntcham and Arsmstrong are all strong, physical players with a bit of aggression about them who can do a turn when we're defending and harass their midfield.}

I could be entirely wrong, could start all my posts with that.

Barca last year were a team full of great players, quick thinkers and bags of talent. I think PSG have a decent defence, decent midfield and amazing strikeforce - we just have to TRY to limit the strikers involvement - need to stop the service. easy eh?

Agathe Stubbs Elliot Tierney

Roberts Lambert McStay Petrov Moravcik

It's a real shame we have such a surplus of good midfield players at present as I really like the look of Christie and think he can be versatile and a goal threat.
The Armstrong situation will maybe play a part, but it would be a real shame if he loses heart and gets impatient or worse still - is released before getting his chance.

Looking forward to Tuesday with both excitement and trepidation, but that is why we want to play in the CL to see our players match up against world class players like Neymar (even if he is a diver) Mbappe and Cavani.
My one big concern is Gordon, in the past we have had goalkeepers capable of playing out of their skins and almost defying teams like Barcelona on their own like big Fraser Forster, but can you see Gordon putting up the shutters, I certainly can't.
PSG will know Gordon is weak and will play to his weaknesses.
On the positive side, if we get a head of steam up we can cause them all sorts of problems with our players. COYBIG.

Tim, glad you mentioned Neymar diving, was just about to post, I watch a lot of Spanish football, I go to most Malaga home games and last season he was on the ground every few minutes, if he did not complete a pass or score, he was rolling about on the pitch looking for a foul and gesturing for a yellow to be shown, didn't matter whereabouts on the pitch. Thaigo is exactly the same when he comes out of defense and crosses the half way line he starts his antics, we need the ref to be on his toes and our Bhoys to be wise to this.

Same ref that never cracked down on him when we played Barcelona last year.

We should go into this game with no fear. No one in football expects anything other than a tanking for us, with a lot of people hoping for just that.

We haven't helped ourselves with failure to sort out a defence that's suspect even with first choices fit.

I believe we can score against anyone, our defence is fragile and the keeper gives me heart failure, but we can score. I was going to say look forward to the money being invested in new players but I won't.

That would be daft.

As long as we give them a game and Bayern win then we are still in the chase for 3rd. Anything else and it's Christmas early.
