Hi Ed , have you got on any info on the story doing the rounds about Celtic increasing the capacity of Celtic Park from 60,000 to 80,000? Can't see the need at the moment myself .

Can't see it myself at this time but if it were to happen it could be seen as future proofing. The current system as it stands will not stay the same. Football is a cash generator and a club our size will always be considered for a place in a big league featuring the Euro elite. Personally, I think it is inevitable that Celtic will enter a bigger set up than the SPFL.

Love all the comments and speculation about who we should sign an release. End of the RD will put the team on the park. He has been chosen as the man to do the job and I am now happy to accept this. No matter how good a player might potentially be he knows how they are on a day to day basis. Maybe there are some personal issues, maybe he is just down,. You would never state that out loud but deal with it as a manager should. So many examples but Di Cannio asking to be taken off as he felt ref had it in for him is classic. Let's never forget it's entertainment business.

Doesn't mean he gets a free reign. That we can't comment or complain when mistakes are made as well as praise for good work.

He brought in Berget who was totally pish and devoid if heart. Playing Ambrose again has me worried about his total judgement. We are entitled to discuss and if we feel like it criticise.

This next three months will make or break RD. He needs to qualify and that is the bottom line. Replacing the players that are just not up to it is paramount.

Let's hope we get the players we need and rid if the ones we don't.

Magicpole . Are you serious , or do you have something non football against Ambrose . All this year Ambrose has filled in well in all four different back four positions and it has to be said that he played well and we would have had problems if we hadn't Ambose .

To what extent did we bring in RD based on his ability to work with cheap or unwanted players? let's just hope that with his attacking style, he gets a proper CL backing and not just expected to feed entirely off scraps.

He we go with the Ambrose non football thing again (head in hands).

Took the words out my mouth Jim. Chris this isn't the first time you've referred to criticism of efe as being non football. Please give me the non football reason you are referring to. Please don't tell me it's a race thing. Efe is not good enough and that is my opinion. It's also the opinion of lots of other celtic fans. Your opinion is he is good enough and that is also the opinion of other celtic fans so that's fair enough and accept and respect that. So Chris please tell me and other people who don't rate him what is the non footballing reason. Because I've only seen him play football I've never met or spoken to him so I can only make a footballing judgement on the man.

Ambrose is mince fullstop and if we don't qualify for the champions league then RD should get the chop just my opinion guys.

would'nt say ambrose is mince,johnston,did you not watch the world cup? he was a very effective and capable right back,i think ambrose's celtic career started going downhill when NL played him when he stepped of the plane from the african cup,he was too tired,made mistakes,his confidence and the supporters in him went south,but the main culprit was NL picking him to play

Efe has played very well since the new year . He has filled in for every position in the back four and has been widely praised . I just cannot understand the thinking of any Celtic supporter wanting him moved on when we haven't got an adequate replacement . We hope to play in excess of 70 games in the coming season , so we will need back-up players . We need to be signing better players than we already have and keep the players who have proved they have done a good job .
To talk about getting rid of Ambrose is so stupid , that I don't know whether some people have an anti Ambrose agenda , having been watching Celtic in a sober state or simply are on the wind-up.

Agree0 Disagree0

17 Jun 2015 01:14:16
Chris I've never said I want ambrose moved on I just don't rate him. And for me a guy who just fills in is easily replaceable anyway. But you never answered my question what is this non football reason you consistantly refer to. You have suggested on more than one occasion that some who don't rate ambrose do not rate him for more than football reasons. So what do you mean by that.

He'll dodge it gary. I've asked before.

I have no opinion of any player apart from their ability or lack of to wear the jersey.

I find it incredible anyone, Celtic fan or otherwise, who could think Ambrose brought something other than heart failure.

Think back to his CL performances and selling the jerseys. Then any other game.

Garybhoy1888 . You are asking the wrong person as to what the non football reason is why somepeople don't want Ambrose about the place . I know that very many people , especially the person that matters , are more than happy with Ambrose's performances especially since the New Year . Those that won't be happy until he is got rid of etc . Must have some reason , if it isn't football then what is it. I don't know , all that I know is that those who wants him away should be man enough to give us a reason .

Agree0 Disagree0

{Ed007's Note - No he's asking the right person, it's you that's saying it. People have told you why - they don't rate him as a footballer. Now what's this other reason you keep hinting at because like everything else with you it's getting boring very quickly?}

17 Jun 2015 17:50:56
Gary your wasting your time bud! He'll never answer your question because any answer to the question u asked will make him look even dafter than he is! ambrose has been widely praised!! I must have missed that! By who may I ask? And this not liking him for non football reasons is garbage! The guys an average player at best! And every time he gets the ball the whole stadium holds its breath! And I'm including his team mates!

Agree0 Disagree0

17 Jun 2015 18:55:57
Chris I really don't think I am asking the wrong person on this. You have said people won't be happy until they are rid. And if it isn't football then what is it. No one is saying or suggesting it is anything other than football. Only you are suggesting the reason isn't football related and I am simply trying to find out what you believe the non football reason is. Because I have to tell you mate I am lost here. You make a point and I ask you what you mean by your point and you tell me I'm asking the wrong person. If you aren't willing to tell people what you mean maybe you should stop saying it. Because it's only you taking about non football reasons but it appears there is more than me baffled by your comment and are looking for an explanation.

Agree0 Disagree0

Ed007 I don't want to get into an argument with you , but it is obvious the people who persistently say Ambrose is mince, should be got rid of , etc . Must have an non football reason for saying that . If he was as bad as they imply Deila , who knows more about him than any of us fans , values Ambrose at Celtic and used him every time he had a player missing in the back four ( right back both Matthews and Lustig were ahead of Ambrose .) Of course Magicpole has still got R Deila on trial so I suppose , we can't be surprised with any ridiculous views .

Agree1 Disagree0

{Ed007's Note - Chris, this is complete garbage from you you've went on about this non-footballing reason for months and deflected to answer it continuously when asked. Read this slowly - I don't think Ambrose, Forrest or Mulgrew are good enough to play for CFC, that's my opinion on them as footballers. You must have some idea what this non-footballing reason regarding Ambrose is as you're the only person I've EVER seen mention it.
It's a simple enough question, even for you, but I suspect you don't have the balls to answer it. I'm not getting into an argument with you either, I am not even asking you, I'm telling you to answer the question or face the consequences, I'm not the only Ed fed up with dealing with your childish, shit-stirring posts that add nothing to the site(s) you pollute.}

17 Jun 2015 22:37:07
Love it Ed.

100% agree that the 3 guys you mentioned are not good enough to play for Celtic. I have nothing personal against any of them just simply based on footballing ability.

On Ambrose he has never been out injured yet 2 of the most injury prone players at Celtic (not Forrest) in Lustig and Matthews are constantly picked ahead of him at right back. Mr Boring mentioned that he was a great right back for Nigeria but playing for Celtic a full back rarely has to defend and Ambrose can't cross a ball, control it, pass it or dribble with it.

Agree0 Disagree0

{Ed007's Note - It's clear what Chris is trying to insinuate but he isn't man enough to say it.}

18 Jun 2015 08:28:01
Well Chris it appears everyone was right when they said I was wasting my time trying to get you to explain your nonsense. I've seen different opinions on this site for just about every celtic player. But when it comes to ambrose you spout this non football rubbish. I don't think Forrest deserves another contract as he hasn't done enough and is unreliable. I do however think that mulgrew deserves a chance to play cb as he has earned it. There you go a differnent opinion from other supporters. Does it mean that others who don't rate mulgrew are non supporters does it mean it's a non football reason they don't like mulgrew. Of course it isn't. For a lot of people ambrose is not good enough. And this sympathy vote of he has played ok in other positions dosent cut it for me. You have to ask yourself would anyone miss ambrose. A lot of people would like denayer back. People vocally want vvd to stay. But like Lucas who left yesterday no one would bat an eye lid if efe left because he isn't good enough. How many more football reasons do you need before you stop talking rubbish

Ed. I and every other person I have agreed with or argued with on here have never given me the impression that they don't like a player for "non-footballing reasons". I bet if everyone was to name their heroes or their favourite players from down the years you would find players from all walks of life there.

18 Jun 2015 20:42:47
Brilliant ED! Think u mite have finally shut this guy chris up! Well maybe not ha! Non football reason! Haha! This guy has without doubt spouted the biggest garbage I've ever heard on here!! Each comment is even more ridiculous than the last! Couldn't have put your post any better mate! 👍👍😜😜
