Was waiting to see if anyone else would dust down the old Alfie Conn song of the 70.s and give it a modern twist, oh well here it is.
He used to be a person but he's Alright Now. Scottie, Scottie Allan. lol

15 Aug 2015 20:26:19
That woeful timalloy haha you can keep that for your shower when nobody else can hear it hehe

15 Aug 2015 21:03:03
Steve Dundee-Your awful quiet about the Allan deal after the abuse you gave me a few weeks ago saying This deal would never go through!!Brilliant don't worry I'll keep you right

15 Aug 2015 22:13:38
Just a thought. If Scott Allan is such a good buy for us, why didn't we identify that weeks ago and put a bid on for him? If we are scouting players why did we only buy him after all the Rangers stuff blew up? We obviously hadn't done anything as PL only approached a week ago after getting assurances from his agent that he would accept a deal? Any idea Bhoys?

15 Aug 2015 23:00:01
Am sure I heard at the end of last season Ronnie was interested in Allan,its only a coincidence that The rangers happenned to try to sign him at the same time as Celtic,when you think about it ,why would'nt Ronnie be interested in a young talented Scottish player who has just won the championship player of the year,maybe because he's Norwegian and he's not into all this celtic rangers shit.

16 Aug 2015 09:12:28
ha ha Greenandwhiteknight and guys the "political corect" filter changed my word to "person" does not have the same ring to it as the original song lol my word rhymes with PUN or FUN which I am always posting on here.

15 Aug 2015 16:56:05
Just goes to show the importance of our captain Scott Brown missed game on Wed against killie and just away from game today he was excellent and soon as he goes off like the team has no drive, and as for boyata dear oh dear 2 shocking mistakes let's hope he's used them all up for game against malmo

15 Aug 2015 18:43:30
Ironically I text pretty much the same to a mate of mine not long after leaving the game today so you are spot on greenandwhiteknight.

On another issue, the atmosphere at Celtic Park continues to be quite sterile and is further reinforced watching Borussia Dortmund right this moment with the constant noise of their fans despite the fact they are already 4-0 up against Borussia Moenchengladbach!

15 Aug 2015 19:36:40
Haha Dortmund prices are cheap and there team is full of top quality players.

I don't blame fans for struggling to get excited as the drop in quality and standards since the early MON years has been ridiculous.

But we still support as best we can!! I hope RD can deliver good football but will be hard with cheap budget signings.

15 Aug 2015 19:47:55
I agree today when Brown was on the team I thought we were brilliant . To me we were so good that we made Caley look very, very ordinary .
With Brown's energy and drive Celtic will be too much for Malmo . We need to play with the same intensity .
I wouldn't worry about young Boyata , he made two mistakes and paid the price for them . It's up to us fans to support him and help him to get over them .
Most defenders , especially young defenders make mistakes ,it doesn't necessary mean they are bad defenders .

15 Aug 2015 21:01:41
Brown raises the whole team by about 50%. That's just the captain he is. Worth more than his weight in gold.

16 Aug 2015 02:05:48
It really irks me when people keep calling Boyata this 'young' defender that'll learn from his mistakes. He'll be 25 in a few months, older than VVD and you only have to look back at Denayer last season to see how solid he was at 19. The guy will always switch off from time to time as he has proved continually throughout the season. I've lost count now how often he's given away needless possession under little or no pressure in games. If it was Ambrose he would be getting slaughtered. I'm very concerned about Boyata and you don't see Ambrose giving away possession nearly as much as Boyata(Although the big man has come up with vital goals for us so far this season). Also, for the people that also say he'll come good and be as good as if not better than Denayer which I don't understand how they can say he will not, nowhere near as comfortable with the ball at his feet as Denayer, tbf to Denayer also he chipped in with a few goals.

We were spoilt last season massively at CB and I took it for granted. Wish we could have the VVD/Denayer partnership back. :-(

16 Aug 2015 14:47:16
Boyata is young , still not 25 . It's not long ago since a centre half was "starring " for another Glasgow team and he was either just under 40 or actually over the big four 0 .
Seriously Boyata having been at a very big English club that can spend 50 millions or more on players , hasn't had that much experience playing competitive first team football. So at 24 , he is both young and rather inexperience but should be just the right age to come good with Celtic .
One thing about Boyata is that Deila seem to be involved in that transfer from early on as he and Lawwell were photographed with Boyata in Manchester weeks before he signed .

16 Aug 2015 16:33:54
Boyata is dodgy. Lapses of concentration every game. If we lose a goal on Wednesday he us my nominee for the balls up. I shudder to think how bad we will be defensively when VVD heads south for the winter.

I can't believe we never brought in a solid full back.

What am a talking aboot? Of course I can.

16 Aug 2015 16:46:43
I'm not saying he's an old player but at 24 he really shouldn't be giving away the ball so cheaply as often as he has. It's near every match he does it once or twice. How is bringing old man Weir up proving anything? Van Dijk and Denayer are younger than Boyata and they didn't make the same mistakes as he has.

Boyata was kept on at Man City simply because he came under there 'home grown quota' allowing them to bring in more foreign players. You'll recognise this by just how little game time he got at Man City because he was simply a bombscare for them and nowhere near good enough. You'll see since the likes of Guidetti, Boyata, Rekik, Milner all 'home grown players' or English players they have rectified that by signing Denayer up on a five year deal, signed Sterling and Delph(A signing simply to allow them to being more foreign players in.

I trust Ambrose more than Boyata personally, atm anyway. It wasn't long ago that we needed Ambrose and Lustig to keep us a clean sheet against Karagandy at Celtic Park and they delivered. Ambrose can handle these games bar the Juventus lapse aside under extreme circumstances with him just returning from the AFCON.

16 Aug 2015 19:25:46
Not sure ticket prices make much difference to the atmosphere, it's got more to do with being able to stand on the terraces and have a beer or two. A know u can get a few in the pub before and after but it would help if we could have a couple during the match. Saying that u can if your minted.

15 Aug 2015 11:50:02
Just saw a post asking after your health mate,All well? More leg based trouble? Keep well ED.

{Ed007's Note - Diabetes related mate, thanks.}

15 Aug 2015 19:51:18
Did I read that Scott Allen is a diabetic? Diabetics didn't hold Danny McGrain back too much .
However Ed you need to look after self , as things can get out of hand .

{Ed007's Note - Thanks mate, it's all still a bit hit and miss trying to control it.}

15 Aug 2015 10:15:53
Ashley Cole has had his Roma contract terminated,would anybody take him at celtic?

15 Aug 2015 14:08:37
Definitely. The guy's an arse but he was top class.

15 Aug 2015 14:36:09
A top class arse who earns more than half our team every week.

15 Aug 2015 20:01:40
Jungle Jim , he has done a marvellous job for us since he came.
We are in a better financial position now , than when he joined us , despite the most severe depression since the 1930's . We have over achieved in Europe in a number of seasons due to the good work of the manager and scouts , but especially his ability to get the players signed at a reasonable price and maximising the price of players we are selling .

16 Aug 2015 15:00:34
that post of mine above was pure rubbish . I apologise for the stupidness of it .
It was even more stupid , that most of my other posts .

15 Aug 2015 08:37:06

Chris1888

15 Aug 2015 10:21:01
The aggregate of what they're getting in return makes them stronger. Looking forward to having you back anyway. A guaranteed 9 points a season or 12 in a few years when you break in to the coveted top 6 PMLROF

15 Aug 2015 10:31:29
Well davie1980 there's 5 min of your life u'll never get back! Possibly the most pointless post I've ever read! God the utter disappointment is ripping out of every one of u sevconians! U lot actually can't believe that a bhoy u thought was a lifelong bluenose was a certainty to join the warburton revolution! Instead he's joined the champs for a crack at the CL And to Join the 5 in a row party! I love how sick this makes every one of your mob! 😂😂😂😂😂 use just keep follow following the saviour DK just like u did craigy White and chick green! mind now use are going to overspend!! 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

15 Aug 2015 10:31:40
That's rite pal you lot just keep up the oh we didn't really want him talk. The Bhoy has moved to a big club. Mr king just didn't have the cash.

15 Aug 2015 10:37:22
I'm terrified of the Rangers coming back up, what with Mark 'Mourinho' Warburton at the helm and the 3 superstars you've signed from Wigan Reserves. 10 in a row will never happen, try 15! COYBIG

15 Aug 2015 11:48:31
Dear me,i, as ever blame the schools

15 Aug 2015 12:25:28
Scott Allan did say he wanted to join a bigger club. Well he got his wish joining Glasgow Celtic, away back to your midden davie

15 Aug 2015 14:57:11
Davie 1980, it's all right. Just calm down you will be fine. I understand you are upset but put the blade down, cutting your wrists won't help anyone, will it? You know what your doctor said, at times of stress take deep breaths. that's it Davie, nice and deep. Good boy. I know you have had a lot to stress over the last few years and it's understadable that you are feeling suicidal, that's only natural son. There are 43,000 others just like you. Honest to God the health service is on red alert in case all the Bears do themself in on the same weekend. So Davie I just want you to know you are not alone. We feel your pain.

Now let's look at your problem. Davie step back from the edge, don't jump son, we can sort this out. Good boy.

Yes Peter has ben very naughty buying Scott. He shouldn't have done that. I will talk to him about that if you would just stand back a wee bit further from the edge, your making me a wee bit nervous here Davie.
Thats better.

Just think what you and the Bears have to look forward to. You have St Mirren and Alloa and Stranrar, that's nice isn't it whilst that naughty Celtic lot have European football yet agin! Anyway who want's to go to Barcelona and Rome this time of year? You can have a lovely day out in Dunbarton, they tell me it's really nice down ther on a Wednesday in February so look on the bright side. Maybe get a point down there? So there is a lot to look forward to isn't there?
Now we all understand that football is not your strongest point but its OK we all make monkeys out of ourself occasionally and we all say silly things don't we? If you keep on stressing you will come out in that nasty rash that looks like a combination of Charles Greens face and Ally McCoist arse and we don't want that happening to you again do we. So just step back a little bit more from the edge.

I really understand how hard it is for you right now, Dave King has come in with his millions and not invested any money at all. Nasty Mike Ashley still own all of your badges and merchandising rights and DK has promised to sort it all out but nasty Mike has not has his £5million back so he has you by the Bollo**s. Rangers remain unlisted and therfore your shares are worthless, the stadium, which you don't own anymore is in need of millions of pounds to repair it which you don't have and you have no scouting system to identify players that you can't afford to buy anyway so it's not all bad is it? Thinking about it, I would jump! See ya Davie.

15 Aug 2015 16:23:27
Some good comments on this blether. Especially like johnnymacs last paragraph. And dh88 5 minutes lost.
I still look at the false promises made by DK to get the fans on board. Where is all the money he was going to make available?

15 Aug 2015 16:27:17
It is a bit unsporting of Celtic buying a player that a new club trying to establish itself have been Courting, unsettling & trying to get for nothing 😂

15 Aug 2015 20:34:24
Dave1980, keep calm say nothing , you never know Scott Allen could still help your Govan side to get promotion from the Championship .

He is still young enough to get his testimonial at Celtic and step down a league to help your wee team escape from the Championship. Lee McCullagh and Kriss Brown will be your management team by then .

15 Aug 2015 07:37:24
I know people are upset over the Allan situation but this honestly made me chuckle head, from the football phone in

Hibs boss and ex-Celtic defender Alan Stubbs vowed not to sell Allan to Championship rivals Rangers from the outset and Jim Eadie, Maryhill, said: "I believe the Allan situation should be investigated because I'm convinced Hibs and Celtic have got together over this just to scupper Rangers."

15 Aug 2015 12:10:50
Lol why not look at the ability for sevco to be able to pay the money involved and why would you trust the word
of a club that runs or complains about debts that they signed themselves into??

15 Aug 2015 01:05:54
It's a sad place now where Pl can sign a stiff like Allan to pacify the masses, based on the fact that he's a bluenose and will annoy them.
I mind signing players based on ability.

Our great club has been reduced to a poor Chelsea. DD BOD will soon be selling use Peckham water

15 Aug 2015 02:08:39
I agree mate or am I being paranoid. It's funny a 300k 2bob signing and all the talk of big name strikers has disappeared. It's all about shafting them. (Which I'm loving btw, all the oh we didn't want him anyway reminds me of primary school.) but we still need a quality striker.

15 Aug 2015 08:28:55
This signing doesn't mean we won't still sign a striker. I don't understand why some people think it has to be one or the other. With the money we'll be getting back for McGeough, we've basically got a better player for about £100k-odd

15 Aug 2015 10:23:35
Well said Kev

15 Aug 2015 11:09:34
Don't understand all this crap being talked about Allan being a rangers supporter,he is'nt the first one to play in the hoops,it says more of the small minds of the critics than anything else,and as rangers no longer exist it is no longer an issue,I think its a great signing,he's a very creative player,and the strikers should score more playing in front of him,even Scepcovic might start banging them in

15 Aug 2015 00:50:13
Trhoops i'm thinking of taking my 3 yr old to paradise what age is good? My uncle took me on the billy mcniell double hampden scottish cup final we all kno what happened at the celtic end troops but macca dun us proud so what age is good now lol hail hail cany wait trhoops

15 Aug 2015 02:05:26
I will look forward to responses on this mate i'm thinking of taking my boy who's 4. Thinking of getting him into a boys club to but don't know if he's to young.

15 Aug 2015 03:23:32
Be honest

15 Aug 2015 07:40:07
I had my daughter at a rugby game when she was just born, mind you that's because I signed for them and sat in the hospitality seats. I've been thinking of taking my 4 year old as well and I honestly think they'll enjoy the singing and chanting

15 Aug 2015 08:31:41
The season book for that age is only £50 which is very reasonable but my wee fella is 5 and gets fed up after about 10 minutes. Bring a phone/tablet stocked with loads of games and battery life lol.

15 Aug 2015 12:00:39
I think about 7 is a good age guys , my youngest is now 9 loves going to every game only thing is she always has to stay until 5 min after games finished she just likes to see players wave ,

15 Aug 2015 14:52:28
I took my two when they were 3/4 yr old to last two trophy days and flag days but I didn't last full games which is fine as its a good intro going to shop and 60 minutes for them. Ps I bought them both £50 season tickets but don't tell pl my nephew goes to most games 😉

15 Aug 2015 18:43:28
Thanks for the advice guys just as I suspected maybe a bit to young at the moment. I will try him later in this season to see how he goes but I suspect he will get bored.
