Ed mate, how come Celtic and Rangers don't get bigger allocations for away games? Every time I watch one of you play away there seems to be thousands of seats empty. Is it 'safety' reasons, or just rules that you can only sell a certain percentage of tickets to away fans?
This will be my last post tonight, feels like me and Real KB have took over the site, lol.

Smithy {Ed007's Note - It's all down to segregation (and percentages). It is the home team that have not sold out their own tickets, at the majority of grounds CFC (and Rangers) outnumber the home fans. They would be better letting the home team use one stand and the away fans get the rest, the demand for away tickets with us would mean the ground would probably be full, or there abouts.}

Thats all fair and well Ed and i would work it the same way mysellf, but the way season tickets are some holders would have to give up their seats for the OF and i cant see that happening, even if it means more pennies for their clubs. Another one of those scottish football ideas where it shuould be that way but will sadly never be.

That said change in general is afoot so you never know!

Evinguu {Ed007's Note - Just move ST holders, I'm sure they would understand if it was helping their club's finances.}

Oh deffo should move em. The hibs game a few weeks ago is a great example of this. Hibs had 3 empty stands Celtic had 1 packed one. Im sure even if celtic had both ends or one side and an end the overall attendance would have doubled. We need clubs to accept this and realise the spending power the OF have within their fanbase.

It would be easier for non glasgow based celtic fans like me to get away tickets esp when they come play in perth and dundee or fife ( as far as my travel budget will allow, i am dundonian afterall lol)

I also rekon there should be a fully fledged neutral section where fans are allowed to mix. Only likeminded folk would go in these bits so dont think violence would be too big an issue, might be interesting as a one off. I know i would try it some of the banter would be interesting. Maybe

Focus now on St Patrick's day
and the 2012 Cup Final.
Question:
Will anyone from RFC show their
face at the game? is there anyone
left , could D&P have their tickets?
could they selll them on ebay to
raise some cash....

Ed will you post? fun for the
Celtic party weekend....

Happy times...enjoy

Fair point Ed, but in that time we won our 5th, yes 5th Champions League/European Cup so we are still on our perch Ed and Fergie knows it, like he knows he will never equal Sir Bob and get that 3rd Champions League. By the away Ed you take the piss out of C*****e A**m, but how bad is Michael Carrick? Lol.
To be fair when you think Bilbao can only have players who come from the Basque region it makes what they are achieving even more special, Martinez, Llorente and Munain would improve any squad in the world.

Smithy {Ed007's Note - A**m wishes he was half the player Carrick is.}

No mate non of them were me, lol. I don't know how anyone copes in the Upper Anfield Road, full of kids and the away fans below, I bet the atmesphere is pretty crap in there. Looking forwards to Sunday now, just hate late kick offs on a Sunday they feel wrong, hopefully be a good atmesphere though, you going mate? Easy for me to get a ticket as I'm in the Auto Cup ticket scheme, so I get one in my season ticket for every game which is good. Bit overly confident there Ed don't be talking about trophies you haent won yet mate, it will only come back to haunt you, like it did AC Milan players and fans in Istanbul. Your luck of winning games you don't deserve to will come to an end soon, when the old guard including Fergie leaves, so enjoy it while it lasts, look at Rangers lol.
JFT96
Smithy {Ed007's Note - Or LFC 20 years ago ;-)

I'm not a season ticket holder mate, as you know. So I have to duck and dive and be glad with what I get. But I enjoyed it. The lads around were singing away. Banging on the roof when we stood up after scoring. Cracking atmosphere. The poor stewards trying to tell everyone to sit down though. Lol. What a joke.
Sunday am back in the Upper Centenary. Ordered my QPR ticket as well, so defo there too. It costs a f'in fortune now mate, I tell you. I remember getting in The Kop for a quid something when I was your age. Lol. Bloody hell, I suddenly feel old..
The Real KB

15 Mar 2012 20:25:17
Don't have a clue Real KB mate, I have my season ticket in the Kop so its difficult to pick some of the away fans songs up. I will ask around my Evertonian mates who were at the game and see what they say. Did you see that knob who tried to let of a flair in there end mate LMFAO, what a fail. On Bilbao, I've seen quite a bit of them this season, and in the two legs against the Mancs they've played better than I've ever seen them, poor mancs, I feel so sorry for you Ed 007, I really do mate, LOL.
JFT96
Smithy {Ed007's Note - I'm sure winning number 20 will ease the pain Smithy.}

I was on the very back row of the far end of Annie Upper mate, so I could just see the smoke drifting about. The Blue Sh*te were hidden underneath at the other end.
Hey mate, I had a couple early doors in The Arkles with my dad, watching the racing on the big screen. There was a young lad with a two tone brown & cream adidas cagoule. That wasn't you was it ?
Nicest jacket of the night that. Or were you one of them likely lads at the back of The Sandon ? Lol. Urchins.
The Real KB

Think the English teams have gone back ed ?
Chelsea looked a bit agricultural last night. Utd and Arsenal outplayed.
There was a good half dozen on that Bilbao team I would have taken there and then for Liverpool next season.
The Real KB {Ed007's Note - The English teams have certainly been found out in Europe this year RKB. I'm with you on the Bilbao team, they have some fantastic players in their ranks.}

I know one thing, the European teams seem to be well up for the Europa. Unlike the English teams who view it with a bit of disdain and play weakened teams.
Will Celtic play a weakened side next season when you're in the Europa !?
;-D
The Real KB {Ed007's Note - CL for us next year RKB, us and Murderwell lol}

How long will the SPL continue to get two qualifying places ed ?
The money will be very welcome at Motherwell I bet.
The Real KB {Ed007's Note - This is the last year RKB, both 1st and 2nd place enter at the 3rd qualifying stage.}

Decent day today, one a bit on Albetas Run each way after backing him a while ago and had Big Bucks from last year lol. Tommorow I'm going for Kauto Star if he's back to 100 percent and I have Midnight Chase each way, good luck guys. On another note, enjoying the game Ed mate? ;-)
JFT96
Smithy {Ed007's Note - GGGrrrrrrrrr.}

That Bilbao side is about as good as I've seen this season (Barca excepted of course).
Here Smithy, what was it the Everton fans were singing to C****e A**m the other night when he was warming up in that corner - something about his teeth but I didn't catch the full chant ?
The Real KB {Ed007's Note - You mind your language RKB, you know the rules!! His false teeth are made from wood :-)

Haha, I actually thought of you when they were chanting at him !
He took it in good heart though, he clapped them for it. It raised a good laugh down the Annie Road end (I was in upper).
You are a biased man though ed, against anyone that's ever worn that blue RFC jersey. Jelavic looked half decent when he came on.
The Real KB {Ed007's Note - He was the boo boy at Ibrox when he was there RKB. CFC fans didn't need to give him stick, his own done enough of that. Then they get all upset when he said 'I'm not interested. Simple as that' after being asked about Rangers current problems. He owes them nothing.}

hey ed or anyone else that knows, i know we play the darkside on the 25th but was wondering if we play them at home again this season? I'm from Canada and i have always wanted to see an old firm game but am afraid this may be my only chance cause they might go into liq, so im hoping theres is so i can make it over...I also cant wait to come over and see a europe night(that were famous for) next season. Its funny how its hard to get up for school and work but it is easy to get up(even with a hangover) at 6am or 7am to watch Celtic. hail hail Hoops Canuck. {Ed007's Note - We will play Rangers at CP after the league splits.

Good afternoon bhoys & Ghirls, I see the forces of Darkness have arranged another friendly in Northern Island. I feel this money will be used to pay D & P..

At the moment they are just running around frantically putting out fires. The whole administration process is a joke. They're up to their necks in the biggest pile of Sh*t in football history.

D&P are drawing from the ordinary fans again, can they not accept that these ordinary punters can ill afford these extra expenses, sure they love their club but mark my words, children will go hungry because of their fans misguided sence of loyalty.

Drawing from the same well everyday, don't be surprised if the well dries up.

There is talk and talk of interest from lots of parties but when it comes to "show me the money " time, few if any will be standing.

Simply put from a financial point of view, Rangers must fold and start again, there is no other viable option and I hope HMRC pursue those in charge at Ibrox over the last 14/15 years for the debts. Fraudulent trading is an offence.

Bad Bhoy.

ps Ed, don't try muster a jig for Paddy's weekend, lie back and relax.

I read yesterday and posted on their site that some old lady went in and donated £20 from her pension....WTF are they thinking about when they are taking money off a little old lady...what next asking the tramps in the street to spare 10p for a cup of tea?
Rangers fans fighting fund is nothing more than a collection tray to pay the bill for D&P.

Channel 4 team to begin Filming in Glasgow on Monday

Be afraid Be very afraid

source alex thomson twi tter
Chief Correspondent and Presenter, Channel 4 News

Lubo25

Hope this is true then alex thomson can
show the so called journalists in scotland
how to investigate a story with complete
impartiality. i love channel 4. julie

When listening to Keevins,Guidi etc on Radio phone in shows,you would assume reasoned debate would take place.What you do get is two of the worst offenders of lazy reporting.Articles littered with;i understand that....;i have been told....;or the classic an insider told me...This could end in football carnage yet the Scottish Media still print anything to sell copy.....green jhedi

Keevins is a mere jackdaw of a man jumping on potential gleaming gems created by others before adding his own brand of journalism and turning a good story to dross with his added rants and childish musings. He attempts to bring wit and charm to his discussions but fails completely as he appears a bit thick and opportunistic. He is only surpassed in toadiness by Chick (hey hey ) Young another master of the art of split infinitive. The aloof attitude and complete confidence of this man beggars belief. Is he perhaps an alchemist who has found the recipe for the perfect story; more likely he has the recipe for turning a potentially good report into utter nonsense. He is no wordsmith, but he has grown prosperous on the frailties and insecurities of Scottish football and is in fact responsible like so many other of his ilk in undermining our game. He appears to revel in disharmony and negativity whilst lambasting ordinary folk for the prejudices he feeds from and from which he makes a very comfortable living. The man is a failed journalist, an opportunist and divisive.

So if rankers are legally not in administration and are re entered on monday will they be deducted another 10 points hmmmmmmm that would make my day

Skinnybhoy {Ed001's Note - no mate, it would just be clearing up the situation and the original 10 would stand.}

Hi ed , got a call from a mate lastnight and he was asking if i,d heard anything about micheal kelly and other old board members at celtic being questioned on turnstile gate from 80s and 90s at celtic park , my mate said he heard from one of the stewards at parkhead , no sure if theres anything in it ed but my mate seemed to think it was true ( pure deadpan serious face ) cheers ed , tedbear {Ed007's Note - I don't believe you have got any mates.}

That was a bit of a cheap shot ed , i am a member of the barrowfeild stamp collectors club and also run a brunch club called barrowbrunch , i organise morning bus trips to places like sauchiehall street coffee shops and other landmarks in the city centre , so ive got loadsa mates ed , am a bit dissapointed in you ed as i thaught you had a bit more about you than that mate , ( flabbergasted at eds attitude face ) tedbear

ROFL @ tedbare...STILL foaming at the mouth about the non story that is celtic attendances from nineteen canteen lol!!

get a life


taco

What if taco , what if , you cant get it out your head son , they big bad men might turn up wae a big bag of money and give it to that big bad club and i cant enjoy ma treble because its in ma heed that this might happen , am right taco , admit it son , look taco just try and block out aw the rangers stuff and enjoy your treble , it might no happen , but then again it might taco , hope dunfermline give you a good game anyway , squeek squeeeeek squeeeeeeeeek. ( rollin about floor laughin animation ) tedbear

Tedbear it will need to be a big big big big big bag full tae the gunnels wae £100 notes to even start to bail yous out , yous need snookers Nobby .

I hate to be the bearer of bad news tedbare, but your no ma da'....sorry if that disappoints you

btw, i couldn't care less who buys your mob, whoever it is, is going to be £100m+ down before a ball is even kicked, then the squad needs investing in big time, but even if the owner is a real billionaire, there's a wee thing called the fifa financial fair play rule, that means you can only spend what you bring in....so take into account you have no european football, no season book money, no catering, and no shirt sales....exactly how much money would rangers be generating?

me, scared?.....im absolutely p'ss'ng myself..........laughing!
