1 m for Rogic? . I would have thought 3-4 m would be a fair price. Surely not thinking of selling him for that? . Questionably above the pecking order of johannson, Commons, GMS, Armstrong, would be after a sustained run.

TTTS there is no reason to think that Celtic will be selling Rogic in this window or any window soon.

Over the last few weeks we've been running live chats during some of the EPL matches and they're proving really popular. Would you guys be interested in one for Friday night's game against Dundee Utd?
I'm not going to waste Ed033's time asking him to set it all up if it's not going to be used so any feedback would be appreciated.

Ed007.

Great idea, look forward to it! How do the clowns get edited? Is it slightly lagging to stop idiotic posts or is it just the case that if you post tripe you get banned?

Agree0 Disagree0

{Ed007's Note - We've not had to boot anyone from any the chats so far so I don't know lol Ed001 and Ed033 will be watching and they'll deal with that side.}

Just reading today's Evening Times and it seems our fans have turned into "Scotland's most wanted" with THREE seperate enquiries from the Compliance Officer, Police Scotland and the SFA. Firstly, I want to make it clear, I want to root out these idiots from our great support but it is a HANDFUL of clowns, come down hard on them when they step out of line and stop them attending Celtic matches.
My other point is as ED007 says, we want a level playing field and if other club's fans step out of line then investigate them also. Over at Ibrox THOUSANDS indulge in sectarian singing regularly, yet the Compliance Officer and Police scotland routinely turn a blind eye to all this. Also at Ibrox at the corner of the Broomloan Stand where the away fans are gathered, they are pelted with missiles at every home game, yet the Ibrox stewards and police do nothing about this also. Shame on them.
Rant over got it off my chest.

Unfortunately this is the kind of bias Celtic has had to endure for decades. The daily rangers sorry daily sevco and the cream bun and evening crimes are used to printing our punishment so that it becomes the truth. Yes we let off a few flares big deal, nobody died. The number of times the tribute act commence with their medieval war chants isn't a problem only offending Catholics so nothing to see here. The old club managed to completely trash a major city after a uefa cup final and cited that they cannot be held responsible for a few idiots and that these people were not fans? They cheated for years by financial doping, they screwed the tax man and resurfaced again in the lower leagues mascarading as Lazarus. They continue to run effectively as a business that cannot meet it commitments and any other business with its finances as so would have had the shutters pulled long ago. So with all this and many more instances of such underhanded events why are you surprised that no punishments ever ensues? The penalties are being roundly handed out, home games in the cup, live televised games to assist the entity into the upper echelons of Scottish football. If you think it's bad just wait until the enter the main gladiatorial arena next season. The worst is yet to come, the ibrox loyal key tappers are already preparing their robes for the proudest moment when they return to the league they have never actually played in where they can fine at the top table to succulent lamb as opposed to the kebabs they have been feeding off? To reinstate the old firm? Which is currently being marketed to death by MSM in preparation for next season and the possibility of a draw in the cup. The old firm is dead but don't let the truth get in the way of hacks paving the way by pouring undying loyalty Govan way so they can attain a position when they are again afforded Sevco exclusives.

The biased and bigotry has been rife in the media before my time and it will always be there because the country itself tolerates and even encourages sectarianism.
The majority of us were angered by the idiots at Stranraer and the damaged reputation to our club; but when the tainted media and broadcasters over react and demonise the whole club in a witch hunting frenzy it just reinforces my contempt and redirects the focus of my resolve.
The club itself could do more in situations like this to stand up and argue precedants while declaring punitive intent.
Any infringement of rules and fan misdemeanours must be stamped out at source- but it must be the same for ALL.
And as a footnote to all Celtic players, coaches and pundits (past and present) please, please - No more talk of this Old Firm garbage, it's done, dead, finis, kaput, rip 2012 and we don't miss it, want it, need it or care about it.

I don't believe people are even discussing this as it is a non-story.

This is a classic case of the media trying to stir trouble and it looks like some sheep are having their "consent manufactured".

If you think I am wrong ask yourself this, why is the violence and organised fighting at Hearts and Hibs ignored and never finds its way onto the TV news? Yet we allegedly sing sectarian songs (I severely doubt this happened) and set of some fireworks and we are suddenly the worst fans in the world and are going to incur major sanctions.

All I can say is that some of you really need to learn to think for yourselves and question what you are told, instead of letting the media set your agenda and form your opinions.

What really pisses me off about this though is how Lawwell and the board use these minor incidenots to try and marginalise a certain group of fans and turn other fans against them.

Sorry jj2 wether you call it old firm,new firm or Glasgow Derby when we play them this season next season or whenever people will care just take last season as an example. If we play them at celtic park do you think we will have 50000 home fans sitting in silence? And God forbid they beat us don't you think this and other sites won't light up like Christmas trees? Like it or not we need them to drive us forward as few would argue without them we have gone backwards as a club.
I'm sure we would all like to avoid the bile and trouble element that follows both sides but for football related issues we do need it.

Agree0 Disagree2

{Ed007's Note - So now we've got a 'bile and trouble element' following CFC?}

12 Jan 2016 15:44:40
Surely your not suggesting it's only rangers who have shouted unsavoury things and caused trouble on old firm days gone bye are you or do you just choose not to see or hear it?

Agree0 Disagree2

{Ed007's Note - I've just never heard a CFC supporter call other fans of the club bile before.}

12 Jan 2016 16:26:25
I am genuinely concerned at the blatant, biased reporting of these clowns. Every club in the world will have rogue supporters, it's human nature. The fervour of the reporting has not even been backed up with any evidence. What sectarian songs were sung? I didn't hear anything from the TV. Were these guys even fans of the club? What's to say they weren't day trippers out to cause bad press for the club. Let's not forget it was easier to get to the Stranraer game from Belfast as it was from Glasgow, so could these idiots have an agenda? It is only fair for us and the club that these people are named and shamed and if it does turn out they were Celtic fans singing sectarian songs then they should be dealt with. It seems to me though that we are being put on trial by the media and the BBC in particular with it's particular style of jumping negatively on all things Celtic. The same biased reporting that turns a blind eye to the goings on at the asbestos bowl and beyond where thousands of that mob regularly resurrect their sectarian bile and shameful behaviour.
As said before though, we've had this one way reporting for years and it isn't going to change anytime soon.

I'm sure you know the bile I referred to was meant as some chants that are regularly shouted at these games but if it's easier to stick your head in the sand and think it's only them and we're always victims then so be it.

Agree0 Disagree0

{Ed007's Note - You've lost me now as I've no idea what chants you're talking about, we cleaned up our act years ago. But if you want to be some kind of hip modern politically correct compass for the CFC support batter in, referring to the them as bile might not be the best start though.}

12 Jan 2016 17:59:24
If we've cleaned up our act so much then I suppose you didn't hear chants of d.o.b at a semi final last year or ira at Stranraer or was that just day trippers from Belfast not Celtic fans as tab suggests. I will decide what I find acceptable to say and do and everyone else will decide what they want but let's not claim all is good in our garden and everyone else is bad.i can accept people shouting abuse at the football but accept all clubs have fans who do it and we also have them

Agree0 Disagree0

12 Jan 2016 22:35:26
We will never get perfect supporters chanting on Celtic and nothing else . However the behaviour of Celtic supporters is closely approaching perfection and if it wasn't for the very small number of louts throwing flares and smoke bombs we would really have tremendously well behaved supporters . Maybe if we could identify these idiots and take them along to our next home games and give them an opportunity to explain why they are such idiots.

Ed ( anyone)
The supporters who have been banned from Celtic. how do you enforce that? They don't have to report somewhere else during a game do they? If they were ST holders then you can stop them taking their allocated seating but how do you stop them entering the ground along with 30,000+ supporters?

Believable0 Unbelievable0

{Ed001's Note - their pictures will be circulated amongst the staff, with orders to refuse them entry. The police will also have their pics. There is not a lot else that can be done really.}

12 Jan 2016 10:55:40
The way things are going they are going to have a lot of faces to try and memorize .

I'm probably wrong here but don't they have facial recognition cameras in use at football grounds?

I used to work with the fuzz and unless it's changed in the last 3 years an a4 piece of paper was handed around in the briefing with photos of who you've to look out for.

From my understanding people with banning orders (but only ones issued by the courts) have to report to their local police station on match days.

However, if the club have issued the ban, this will have nothing to do with the police and they will only be banned from home games and from buying tickets directly from Celtic.

Yes, they may still get into Parkhead but if they are noticed they will be refused entry or evicted.
