craig burley has got to be the biggest dumpling that has ever represented celtic football club. the sooner he's claiming job seekers the better, for any one who pays a rediculous subscibstion fee to a certain channel, good luck. he's enough to make me go back to radio.

He's enough to make me go back to rugby!............green jhedi

Without a doubt that was Burleys worst ever and that's saying something ...Twisted excuse of a being ...TTTS

This guy has to be the most non-complimentary pundit I have heard commentate on any of our games
His blatant attempt to sound like his compatriots down south is truly cringe-worthy He has in the past and still continues to make crass statements about everything under the sun about the game, does he not realise that he's supposed to be entertaining us as Celtic fans not making cheap jibes about the club that fed him

Green Judge

He does my nut in

Listen never mind all that. I just can't comprehend the guy played top flight football in scotland and in the premiership for 15 years, and yet he's a f*cking football illiterate! I had to turn the sound down again tonight as i did on sunday during the Man Utd v Liverpool match. He talks absolute garbage about the game of football. When analysing a game he makes Iain Dowie sound like Cantona. How do the english punters stomach it? I mean its clear s*y don't care that we, and when i say we i mean everyone in scotland can't stand listening to him. So its down to the english. They must like him, or find the silly scotsman who talks nonsense about the game amusing. Its a head scratcher for sure.

He even called Zaluska - Zaliukas at one point . . .

It's exactly the same scenario as SLY with Charlie Nicholas - they adopt a dunderheid with a Glasgow accent and let him bad-mouth and spout neddy patter for their amusement.

He didn't commentate on man you v Liverpool game as he doesn't work for sky, so you turned down your sound on Sunday for nothing. L1888

L1888 i was scudding the game off firstrow sports and it was for dubai tv or one of those. Im not daft mate.

Burley commentated on the game online, must have been a feed for dubai sports or something. There's no way anyone could mistake his total b*llrubbish analysis.

What do sly have to do with it then? It was you who mentioned them halfway down yer post about them not caring that we have to listen to burley! L1888

I was chatting too my blue nose neighbour, After hearing his take on Rangers I now beleive they all need phsyciatric help!!He states the legions of deady bears are elated at the thought of a move to the conference& in the space of 6months Rangers are worth £65million, A new shirt sponsor& naming rites will send them sky high& the worlds there oyster, Greene has made them proud again, jesus was this not the greene who had to live in safe houses not so long ago?I blame the media& scottish football authorities for there state of minds in believing there the same club....stevo

It is surely one of the greatest cases of mass hypnosis ever.They all seem to forget green saying no CVA club is dead, the adidas tie in and the Dallas Cowboys.This guy is going to have to live in a monastery when he scarpers with his cash...........green jhedi

Could see them all moving to a settlement in Central America waiting for the Mother ship coming to collect them all and bring them to the planet CL...TTTS

Over on the dark side page, we now have some hypnotised deluded crackpipe puffin bafoon claiming they be in the EPL soon& then be worth £200million!!Comedy Gold just keeps on giving.I can't wait till the end of the month when lord nimmo smith gives his verdict.As the kaiser chiefs said.I Predict A Riot!!stevo

Am I the only person who actually thinks the league restructure sounds pretty good?

Even if its not perfect its still a hell of a lot better than the current incarnation.

One problem as I see it is that the lack of meaningless games will hinder the national team as these are the games where young players can be blooded.

Sincerely S. Regen (just kidding)

Mac

I posted this yesterday- but I agree.

I actually like it. And would welcome seeing it in action.

Look, the fact is, the SPL/Premiership/Top Division, whatever you want to call it, is always going to be dominated by 1 of 2 teams, and the race for the title will almost always be between these teams. So it becomes about making the rest of the league interesting, and I think this is an interesting proposition.

The middle eight would certainly lead to some excitement, and with the amount of games on offer, it would be difficult for anyone to 'skoosh' it. So some seasons all four Premiership teams could be relegated, or none at all. And if a Hearts, or Aberdeen or the like find themselves in the bottom four after 22 games, then tough titty- prove you deserve to be in the top league by winning the middle eight.

My only real concern, I say concern but I don't think it's being explained yet, so maybe someone else can answer this:

What would the bottom eight, ie the eight from the second division, be playing for, other than avoiding relegation?

The bottom four would be relegated/playoffs etc with the 'National League' of eighteen, but above that- nothing? As far as I can tell they wouldn't get a thing- so if you were, let's say fifth at the split, and quite a bit ahead, when the split happened, you'd then have nothing to play for?

If this is the case, we should look to incentivise this section.

Finally, to those who say we can't change now, it should be with a season notice etc, this is actually the best way. If you were to announce changes with a season to play, the numbers would drop off. At least this way, it's only half a season- as opposed to 'next' season being pointless. I don't know if we, as a footballing country, can have an entire season calender marked off as 'pointless' before it's begun.

The fact is, this isn't about Celtic and Rangers, but the whole of the game here- and while I sympathize for fans who have bought season tickets etc, it's the only way. A way to deal with that would be to help fans next season with some sort of financial reward- so if you bought a season ticket this year, you get 15% off next year etc.

I would like to see it for a season or two and see how it works out. At the end of the day, it probably affects us less than anyone else.

The Patient

I agree that it probably isn't about Celtic or eventually, Rangers.

Ideally it would be great to see the top increased with clubs but the reality is, all this would achieve is diluting the quality.

I cannot get my head around the split either where Clubs go back to 0 points part of the way through the season. I don't like the split now & I doubt I'll like any of these future suggestions.

At the moment the only thing I 'like' is the 12/12/18 format ~ Mrs E

Cnt believe people on here slagging Hooper. The guy has bn a quality signin 4 celtic. He scores 4 fun and gets the best out of people round about him. Hink we should be looking at 8 million 4 him plus add-ons.

Hooper a decent player at best we can replace him no bother we no English teams pay crazy money for players so lets get as much as we can for him because he doesn't want to be at park head I think he has got a high opinion of himself well what I really mean is he thinks he is better than what he is

Totally agree hoopers been the best striker at the club since the king

The difference with hooper and wanyama is if wanyama goes fair play to him but hooper has been winging for a move since the day he signed

@3, fair play to both!! Being classed as a striker and actually being decent at it are 2 different things, with the goals he's scored you can only expect interest in him and fair play, only the persons will give him a hard time about wanting to better himself or "go home"! Selective memory also as you'll find it was Wanyama that said he was using Celtic as a stepping stone to better things..... Which I still wouldn't hold against him.

Rumours going about Rangers about to sign a kit sponsorship with a company called Macron, Sally and Jabba are devastated as they thought it sold
MACAROONS.... lol Timalloy

WHAT! Dont tell me Chuckie was wandering Europe making up tall tales of Adidas? Next it will be the Dallas Cowboys saying they never heard of him.....Oh wait a minute they have!.......green jhedi

Tim, i'll have you know, iv'e checked who this italian company supply strips to in scotland . i think you will show a bit more respect and reverence when i tell you the the rangers would be joining the company of brechin city, fraserburgh, huntley, camelon juniors and the mighty polmont, bet your not so smug now .. shammy

Maybe it's a misprint . maybe it's macro . pile it high and sell it cheap. shammy

Helllo Ed, 1st time post, just read that The Rangers have made a bid to buy the troubled HMV group, it appears that they are interested in acquiring more records..

Good one .

TamBhoy74

I heard that also they are going to call it The HMV and then at a later date they will combine the the two companies into 1 group called The HMRFC Group.

One I heard was...
With HMV looking to go into Administration, that's all we need another Newco claiming to have all kinds of records.. lol Timalloy

Yes tim if chuckie buys them and their history 2, 909, 765, 652, 333 records and counting fanni***then now forever .. shammy

Ed do you think there is a strong chance that Rogic, Agudelo, Rojas and Oshinawa could all be wearing the famous hoops come the start of next season. 4 good young players who will enhance our squad. It really is an exciting time to be a Celtic fan {Ed007's Note - Sure there's a chance, but I wouldn't bet any money on it.}
