Green brigade should do a palestine tifo this weekend to show support, absolutely disgusting scenes to watch HH.

is this a celtic banter football site.

Well said Ryan, I am 100% with you. We have a strong link there and I am sure the GB and our St Pauli friends will do something.

It is but I think the sewing machines are at work. The papers have already been drawn up to wipe out the prize money with a fine. Fine. It's the perfect spin away from the dbl treble if a banner is displayed. The hun hacks can pretty much take the day off. It's what the record is rather than what's printed in the record that counts down the line.

never usually bother getting involved the political side But after a ex Israelian solider won Eurovision a few days ago who was involved in the highest killing off Palestine kids when she was in the force, totally agree Ryan! absolutely shocking scenes coming out off Gaza.

( sorry to folk if I’m discussing unrelated Celtic stuff, but it does really make my blood boil lol)

It splits the support. I agree completely with the reasons and support for these poor people. If you want to show support be consistent. Protest in your local square, raise money, hand out leaflets and send money to organisations that can be trusted to help the needy. If you can't tick a few of the boxes above and jump on a bandwagon then imo there's no place for it at cp. If it's done for a bandwagon show I'll never agree with it if the club is linked as a platform. It's on the cusp of going tits up over there. A bit of media awareness is F'all.

14 May 2018 23:26:08
I agree, what’s happening over there is a human crises, I hope the GB do display suppprt to Palestine in their struggle, as we the Irish experienced struggle that founded this awesome, incredible club and family. ✊🇮🇪🍀 🇵🇸.

Hi, I support Palestine fully and seen the harrowing and disturbing footage on the news. it would show support if the GB Did do some sort of display for Palestine, But would it really change anything? The world know what Israel are like, yet nothing seems to be getting done about it, I suppose a banner or display by the GB might get some attention and might change things, you never know.

Erdogan is calling the tragic events yesterday, genocide, Erdogan, who is the madman president of Turkey, Turkey Turkish military have killed 3000 odds of Afrin civilians and fighters forced Islam on Yazidis, Christians or any other disbelievers, ethnically cleansed 150,000 civilians out of their homes, and now resettling mad Islamists from the so called FSA and other Islamist opposition to Assad, it is a tragedy what happened and is happening in Gaza, but why is o one talking about Afrin, why don't the Green Brigade do one about Afrin.

I understand all your feeling and feel your pain, it's a football stadium not a political arena,
If you feel that bad about it then go there take up the gun/ sling and fight their cause, give them your money.
How many want to sign up? no it's ok, we will just wave a flag.

Waving a flag from behind a crowd, spouting on a forum, and sitting in your warm safe house drinking beer is NOT going to make a big impact.
Let's have the flags for Celtic fans and the tifos.

15 May 2018 10:33:33
Why not all those who want to show solidarity with the poor people on Saturday, give up their tickets and congregate in George square?

Why are we, or some of us, hellbent on political issues that seem to only reflect the situation in Ireland? Why no show if dusgust at the slaughter and exile of Muslims in Burma?

Or a hundred other awful situations around the world? This is nothing to do with Celtic. It does have things to do with political people who support Celtic and feel strongly, do it on your time. March, chain yourself to buildings, send money, lobby your MP. Going to a final with a wee flag at a final is a gimmick that does the club no favours.

But they don’t give a Feck about that do.

16 May 2018 02:19:13
Magicpole I doubt anyone with a wee flag as u say, thinks they're doing the club any favours. But tell the Palestinian people who have went on record to thank the celtic support for our solidarity that it doesn't help!

Hi all, new poster here, looking forward to next season and a few more hunskelpings, and seeing how we do in europe!

14 May 2018 18:35:07
Welcome Brendan aged 95, one of our oldest newcomers . Of course you know we are a very broad church of fans, from those who are never happy to those who have lived through bad times and are pinching ourselves daily, not believing how good things are these years .
We are very mindful of the terrible times the Rangers 2012 fans are going through since their birth six years ago, may it last until they die again.

14 May 2018 18:49:47
Brendan95: welcome mate.

14 May 2018 19:19:09
Welcome aboard Brendan auld son yir some age. Be warned though we cannot even agree with each other! But if you like talking total single fish feel free to join us on the live chat some laugh! 😂👍☘️.

14 May 2018 19:26:49
Thanks for your messages guys. Yeah Chris I've followed the page for a while so I know the difference in opinions, I myself though am so grateful that we have a manager Of Brendan's calibre and such a sound business model. I Couldn't believe it when Brendan was appointed, and I cherish every moment with him as our manager, things will get even better (if possible) with the further development of Ntcham, Karamoko, Tierney etc. As for Sevco, They are nothing, They will win nothing, They will do nothing and They will always be nothing, HH!

14 May 2018 19:34:52
Haha JFP, almost as old as you eh! haha, yeah will do mate, I've seen the recommendation's to other new posters about Live chat, so will be sure to check it out and see for myself!

14 May 2018 19:53:07
Good man Brendan look forward to having the craic! ☘️.

Ajer signs on for another four years.

14 May 2018 12:30:41
Brilliant news Kev. Well done the Bhoy and PL for getting this deal done. Hugely important getting our young stars tied down.

14 May 2018 13:54:02
He’s not quite as silky and easy on the eye as VVD but if he ends up half as good he’ll be a star! Well done to RD for picking him up and to BR for seeing the potential in him at CB.

{Ed007's Note - I never seen VVD playing when he was younger but I'm confident in saying that Ajer is a better player than the big Dutchman was at 20.}

14 May 2018 14:35:52
On the money Ed. This boy, given what he has shown in his learning curve, could be a real star. Player of the year at Killie remember, and that looks to have stood him in good stead. Also seems a real level headed boy which helps.

{Ed007's Note - Ajer and Ntcham are both going to be fantastic players who will earn us a shedload of money in years to come and I just hope that they're both here for a good few years yet.}

14 May 2018 15:31:46
Ajer has achieved more than big VVD had by the time he was 20 I'd say.
Captain by 16 or 17 in Norway. Now an international that has European experience. Bhoys going to be a star.

14 May 2018 15:41:07
Fair point Ed, I think he was only breaking into the Groningen team at that age so Ajer has got a good few extra years of experience under his belt already.

{Ed007's Note - I never thought we'd have another CB in the VVD bracket as quick as we have, players like that don't come along our way every day.}

14 May 2018 16:42:56
This is good news. Looks like we've improved his deal which the lad deserves. As for the comparison to VVD, I don't think he'll ever be as easy on the eye Kev. But he could be a better defender. I love the way he celebrates things like winning a goal kick instead of conceding a corner. It's that very fight that will see him be a better defender, in it's purest form.

14 May 2018 17:40:20
You got a wee semi for VVD Jim? 😂.

14 May 2018 18:47:09
There is no doubt we have improved the deal Ajer was on , I am pretty sure Ajer wasn't on much money when he joined us as a young teenager . It's great that Brendan and Peter identify this and have him signing a new deal before the vultures swept in from the EPL.

14 May 2018 09:31:27
So, one last push to achieve, again, history in the Scottish game. Yesterday does not bother me, result wise, as when a league is won players should be rested and youngsters given game time. This has always been my view, last season chasing an unbeaten record ruled that out, but yesterday. Meh.

For me the only discussion is over this issue we seem to have with teams who sit deep. For the life of me i could not understand why Roberts never started. Even if he goes surely he deserved a run out at Celtic Park for what he has given us?

I, like everyone, i assume we are well down the road on transfers and BR will reshape the defence. Looking at our current squad we need work in that area for sure. Strangely this window might be the most important one for years. A lot out and some in, but i would hope a couple of Euro ready players that can make the difference in the qualifiers and further.

14 May 2018 10:28:49
The injury problems we have had to Griffiths, Dembele, Roberts, Armstrong and Rogic, plus the difference in Sinclair to last season has certainly impacted on our goals and points total, although to be on the brink of another treble has got to be appreciated as an incredible achievement.
I've said before that opponents have learned how to stifle us - especially at home - and we need to address this and a vast improvement on set pieces is definitely an issue, as we get plenty of free kicks and corners every week and waste most of them.
I agree this summer will be very important in the transfer window with a lot of speculation about players leaving and sorting out the defense and BR has already stated we have to improve and I am sure he has plans; but until then I look forward to next Saturday and hopefully another historical chapter in the Celtic story.

14 May 2018 15:06:01
@GJ and OAB, looks like next season will tell us quite a lot about Brendan and his team tactics, but as OAB says, we forget about all the longish term injuries we had this year to our important layers, surely next season our injury list will not be as bad. Also Dembele and Sinclair scored fewer goals this season which we need to rectify, a) if Dembele goes, bring in Odsonne on a permanent deal. b) get Sinclair scoring goals again and c) improve both our defending and get us paying the fast paced one touch football of the invincible season.

I hope Gerrard and the media continue to spout off, it motivates us, they always talk a great game in the close season, then fall flat once they start playing games again.
Next season is all about what CELTIC do. hail hail.

14 May 2018 18:59:01
We haven't been stifled that often, we have created enough chances to win any game in every domestic game this season . Luck and careless finishing has caused to let inferior teams build some confidence in their defensive drill.
