ED007 as wee Pat is not around a wee joke inspired by his stories.....
Burglars broke into Police HQ at Pitt Street and stole all the toilet cisterns and pans, a police spokesman said "Sadly, we have NOTHING to go on" LOL Timalloy

Ed...was having a wee look on the Newcastle page (guy I work beside is from Newcastle)..seems to be a couple of mentions of Gary Hooper being a target in January. What do you think ? - Mrs E {Ed007's Note - He is regularly linked with them, they tried in the summer and the player and club were not interested in any deal. NUFC have almost completed a £7/8 million deal for Modibo Maiga from Sochaux and are also tracking Jordan Rhodes. I would be surprised if there was any move, it would need to be money the club couldn't refuse and the feeling I get is Hooper doesn't fancy it, but we all know that money talks.}

Have you seen this Ed, Timalloy? It doesn't look good for Scottish football. With the SkySports and ESPN deal ending at the end of this season but the have the option of a further 2yr on the same money. Clydesdale bank pulling out after next season and now this. I will post a link to it.

Followfollow81 {Ed007's Note - I was reading about it earlier. But not on that rags site!}
I knew you would say that Ed lol. It was the only one I could find that explained it a wee bit better lol. What's all this the big countries want 8 teams in the champions league? You can bet your bottom dollar that Rangers and Celtic will still have to play qualifiers still. Do you think sky/ESPN will take up the option of another 2yr contract?
Followfollow81 {Ed007's Note - And how many qualifiers will they need to play? The SKY deal seems to be a bit hit and miss finding out details, isn't it up to the SPL if the two year option is taken up. Have a read at these, all give slightly different details about the deal.

I am sure they will find a league sponsor as well, but the calibre of it and financial side might not be of the highest order. Cheers for the link mate.}

Nice to see the shame carrying on their old traditions.From their page
I for one could not support scotland with any great passion as i could not bring myself to cheer on anyone in the team who also pulls on a celtic shirt i.e. the clown that is broony ! s.p.
Absolutely hate filled and pathetic......
WHO said that....whoever it was, is NO football fan - Mrs E
This is nothing new my work mate told me of a story back in the 70s when i think it was tommy gemmell was taking a penalty was getting booed by the scotland fans because they wanted a rangers player to take it and you only have to look at the amount of caps the lisbon lions got which say's it all.
big paul {Ed007's Note - Jimmy Johnstone, 23 caps in 10 years. An embarrassing statistic for the SFA in that era.}
ED007, I agree about SFA at that time, they overlooked wee Jinky time and time again and not only never did anything to help Celtic in their great Lisbon run but actually hampered Celtic by picking 5 Lisbon Lions the week before the final, big Jock was fuming A) because of the snubs in the past and B) because of potential injury Timalloy
This is what I posted on the Gers site.
I'm doing my investigation into the post about the post about broony. I've came to the conclusion that it's some one at the wind up. The reason being is when has ever a Rangers supporter/fan ever called Scott Brown (broony) nice try sp and grow up. It won't be long till Santa comes are you excited?
Here is another one for you Davie Cooper 22 caps for Scotland in 11 years.
I
Followfollow81 {Ed007's Note - Isn't s.p a regular poster on the Rangers site? If it isn't his usual 'style' it might be an imposter. I thought Cooper would have had more caps than that, I can always remember a picture of him in a Scotland strip when they had the blue band going round the shorts.}
Jinky was overlooked for whatever reason & allegedly did get abuse to fans who preferred Willie Henderson. But if you watch a Bhoy's life (so great but a tear at the end), he only ever wanted to play for Celtic - Mrs E {Ed007's Note - Henderson only got 29 caps in 9 years, which surprised me as well. I'm not sure how often international games were played back then (Tim???) but both their caps haul is a bit low by today's standards.}
I thought s p was short for Sellic Poster lol. I think they only wore the blue stripe shorts for 2yrs. As you will know Big Jock told Davie to take that penalty that sad night. They we're players getting caps for Scotland when we all know they were never good enough and that started when Bertie took over. Here's hoping we qualify for Brazil. Can you imagine me with a Brazilian lol. The only Brazilian I will get is the one down stairs lol.
Followfollow81 {Ed007's Note - The mind boggles, please don't post pics of that!! Like I've said I am not a big fan of international football in general, every WC has got progressively worse since the US 94 one which was a shambles (Diana Ross penalty kick lmao) I like to see Scotland do well and also Eire (not bigoted my dad was actually born there before moving over to Manchester then up here and I still have a lot of close relatives over there) but I don't get carried away with it all. I've always liked Argentina as well, Maradona then Batistuta are some of my favourite players of all time. But WCs and Euros just bore me now TBH.}
Denis Law had 55 caps which is still low compared to recent days...I wasn't born 'till the 70's so don't know - Mrs E
ED007 Interrnationals were not played as often as today, but point big Jock made was that SFA had ignored players like wee Jinky in the past and now wanted him and 4 other Lisbon Lions for game, if my memory serves me right (some other fan will know) Celtic had to play Scottish Cup Final on Saturday (Aberdeen) and then Inter on the following wednesday, the international was the previous wednesday, so big Jock's point was Celtic were at a disadvantage and no rest period, still Celtic (and Jock) overcame it all and the rest is history, but no thanks to SFA.
Mrs E wee Jinky used to get booed regularly by Rangers fans every time he put on Scotland jersey. Timalloy
Timalloy how did you know it was Rangers fans that booed? Were they all good looking? Did they all have a suit on? Were they all doing the bouncy? Were they all giving funny hand shakes? Remember Timalloy Rangers fans have the funny hand shakes Celtic fans have the funny walks. It's a known fact. Only kidding take care good night.
Followfollow81 {Ed007's Note - Night FF81, take care mate, BTW I hope mini-FF81 is getting a day off school as part of his birthday present!}
No chance Ed. Me and Mrs FF81 have got our football strips to try on tomorrow I'm Sh*gger and she's the number 9 that plays for Rangers ladies football team lmao. Night Ed.
Followfollow81 {Ed007's Note - Poor kid, you're a tyrant :-) Night mate.}
16 Nov 2011 19:47:06
I think it's time for the fans to have a go at the green brigade when they sing songs like the roll of honour and a few others. I love the atmosphere the GB bring to the games, but now we should lead by example. I remember when the Celtic fans turned on the casuals back in the day, i think the GB now know the score, and if they are defiant, then the rest of the fans will have to let them know. We have a great support and great songs, we can hang on to our Irish heritage without the songs. The republic of Ireland fans won't be singing the roll of honour in Poland/Ukraine next year, so come on GB you are a breath of fresh air but it's time to change for the better.
paddybhoy {Ed007's Note - Great post Paddy.}
Some of the GB songs are out of order in this day & age but without them paradise is quieter than a morgue there is more noise coming from the few 100 away fans that what comes from any of the other parts of the ground,but then again its easy to pass the buck onto the GB the only time there is noise from the rest of the stadium is when there dishing out abuse too the players,when we score or the games against the beasties.

Alright Ed how's thing? Seep Blatter is quoted saying 'there is no racism in football' and any disputes should be settled with a handshake. Is this guy for real Ed? He should get the sack for that statement. Can you believe he's running our game?
I popped into the Rangers shop on my way home from work earlier for the goalie strip for my sons Birthday tomorrow and when I was paying for it the girl said was I a season ticket holder I said yes. Then she asked if I could show her it so I ran out to the car to get the season tickets and showed her them. Then she said its buy one get one free. So I got him the away strip aswell. That was 2 full strips for £60. I told the wife I paid full price for the 2 of them and she said she will give me £60 when she gets paid at the end of the month lmao.
Anyone that wants a loan of the season tickets just give me a shout and you can get buy one get one free on all the football kits. Do you want a loan of it Ed lol. I know Timalloy will want them off me lol.
Followfollow81 {Ed007's Note - I was just reading about Blatter, what planet is this guy on? If he is coming out with that garbage why have Rangers(in the past) and CFC (right now) being investigated. Sectarianism is a form of racism, both show intolerance towards others, whether it is by creed or colour. I'm shocked he is even still in the job, that was another farce, he is a very shady character. Great deal on the strips BTW mate but you can BOGOF with your offer :-) And poor Mrs FF81, conning the woman out her hard earned money, FF81 The Player/Hustler eh? Get as much out of them as you can :-) I bet the strips were his 'n' hers for some funky, freaky fetish fun! I think I'm going to be sick now :-) Happy Birthday to mini-FF81 for tomorrow mate, although your choice of gift is questionable :-)
Ha ha FF81, no you can keep your season ticket, just one question? Why keep it a secret until you are buying a strip, surely this offer should be advertised as you enter store. Tell the wee man I hope he has a good one.Timalloy
PS Mrs T heard of offer, got her cousin's season ticket paid the £60 and walked out with Jellyfish and Goian, AND got £50 change LOL
Thanks Ed. I'm just getting the wife back because I'm sure she dips my pockets when she send me to bed after away games lol. As for the fetish how did you know that I canny keep anything a secret lol. Your right about Blatter. He is one dodgy character that should have been removed from that job long ago. One rule for Rangers And Celtic and let the big clubs in Europe away with murder. Back handers.
Followfollow81 {Ed007's Note - And he is scared of the power the big clubs would have if they all pulled together against him or his organisation. Wee Pat told me about your fetish, you do know he is a peeping tom? The amount of times Moneypenny has caught him looking through our letter box is shocking lol and he admits it!! Plus he killed our fish the last time he stayed over.}
Tim the girl said that I would have received an email about the offer. I checked when I got home NO email. Mrs T got bumped then cause you were suppose to get Kirk Broadfoot in that deal lol. Ed has wee Pat got those night goggles? If he hasn't I'm turning the lights off lol.
Followfollow81 {Ed007's Note - Wee Pat can lay his hands on anything. He makes Del Boy look like that orange (not that way) guy that does the daytime antiques show on STV.}
Oh Timalloy I forgot to say thanks.
Followfollow81
Followfollow81, pity wee Pat was not about, he would have got you both your son's strips, a football signed by the whole RFC squad, two season tickets for next year all for £5 (he knows a man) Timalloy

this prob wont get posted but anyway i want 2 no why celtic fans never shut up about craig whyte when ther own chairman is cheating the club in my opinion what does the real celtic fan think about peter lawell and his signing policy {Ed007's Note - Peter Lawell isn't our chairman, he is Chief Executive and an employee of the club. Ian Bankier took over from John Reid as Chairman last month.}
Why is Peter Lawell cheating the club ,when did Peter Lawell cheat the club I also don't have a problem with his signing policy apart from the Fletcher scenario 3 yrs ago.Don't know wer your coming from!......DH
Lawwell is a cheat, I don't like him but let's looks at facts.
Rangers: in debt of 18 million, tax case that may cause them to go into admin
Hearts: again players not being payed again now they have came out & said they have serious money trouble
Dunfermline athletic: have shut down one of there stands to save 20k a year when they need to save 100k
Plus there's hibs,Motherwell & anyone else in the spl having money problems.
Aye we have lost the league 3 times going on 4 but we have next to no debt, gave TM & co a golden hand shake,& built a new team?
A believe he's cost us signings before & has a habit to put up smoke screens in jan window by buying keane & the likes. That said we could be alot worst ? We should have won the league last year yes but we never, this year...well you make up your own mind but we 'should' have the Europa money from this year (5million or something like that) so we still have the books balanced.
We can't keep losing the league no, or cups etc because the fans won't accept it. But the bigger picture I think is aye he's a ass but he's keeping us out of the problems everyone else is in
Come on you bhoys in green
Lenny
Im guessing his point is that celtic havent won a title in more than three long years now. IMO that would then indicate that the signings made just arent good enough. is that not a valid point, i cannot understand why you dont see where he is coming from? think much? jamie.s
This seems to be a running theme with "the shame" (tell me if i'm wrong) but every time they send in a post they always say "this wont get posted but.....
CB67 {Ed007's Note - It is their insecurity showing through :-) They find it difficult to grasp that decent minded Rangers fans are always welcome here, and there was nothing wrong with his question.}
Because we've not won league 4 3 seasons makes him a cheat ,I think not . Celtic hav spent good money under Lawell for players over the past few years , don't know how any fans could describe him a cheat
16 Nov 2011 14:23:08
Afternoon ED007, I see we could be giving a deal to former Arsenal player Blackman, I think I saw a post by ED001 saying boy had "issues", hope we are not signing another disruptive player in the dressing room hail hail ?Timalloy {Ed007's Note - I wouldn't say he would be disruptive in the dressing room as such, he has just turned 21. It is more away from the club he has 'problems'. He has had some disciplinary problems at clubs but from what I know it is more his off the field personal problems and that he has broken club rules etc (he was allegedly caught driving without insurance is the kind of example of his stupid behaviour). He was up on trial last month and seems to have impressed, but he would need to sort himself out and mature a bit IMO.}
16 Nov 2011 14:37:34
ED007, I just wanted to say last night proved what a good Editor of this site you are, you allowed a debate on a delicate subject and allowed both sides input, take a bow ED007.
I think as Celtic fans we must look to ourselves before condemning others. From my own point of view, I confess in my younger days I stood in the jungle singing both Rebel songs, IRA songs and using the "H" word. Today, I am older and wiser?(ok some may debate that one) and educated in what is right or wrong. These songs and chants I and other Celtic fans used are in the past and should be confined to history.
One of the joys of being a Celtic fan, is the fact our fans are among the best at making up witty songs and chants, I think us and Liverpool fans are the best at this, so come on Bhoys our repertoire is so big and our ability to come up with new songs so good, we don't need these songs of the past. Hail hail Timalloy {Ed007's Note - Cheers Tim, I wrongly assumed that all Rangers fans knew the origins/basis of why they sing the song. All I done was explain it, and backed up what I was saying by proving what even Rangers fans say about the song and it's connection with the club. I wasn't using it to try to deflect attention away from our own club's problems, it is us that are in front of UEFA this time, and if found guilty, then rightly so we should be punished. Everyone done things like that when they were younger, but times have changed, ignorance or youthful exuberance is no excuse, especially when guilty clubs face fines/sanctions against them. I just hope, and I said this when Rangers got their ban, that UEFA look at other countries and teams and not just shine a spotlight on anything CFC or Rangers do, there is worse going on in football that seems to go unpunished i.e. racism in Italian football is a terrible problem.}
I read Murdo McLeod's comments in the paper this morning , i have to commend him on it , i couldnt have put any better myself , Ireland has moved on ! the world has moved on , Scotland is going backwards and is an embarassment , no decent minded person wants anything do do with this nonsense , yes the Green Brigade bring atmosphere to the games , when they sing Celtic songs , but if they persist in singing these offensive songs , then they should be disbanded and banned if need be , before they ruin the good name of Celtic , how are we ever going to be invited into another better league with this nonsense hanging over us , these songs have nothing to do with Celtic Football Club or football for that matter . {Ed007's Note - I'm with you there mate.}
You are right Timalloy, we have all done/sang songs in the past that were wrong.
Times have moved on and sadly in Scotland some people have not.
But incredibly for someone of Paul McBride QC`s stature to try and deflect the problem onto other clubs, is a tad naive. He`s heard singing of said songs at Hearts and Hibs, im sure tat he has done. Did he report them then? why not?
Why wiat until now to bring this up.
All seems a bit strange to me.
Bosley. {Ed007's Note - I agree with you Bosley. We have all heard unsavoury songs from opposition fans at away games, the songs the Motherwell 'fans' were singing the other week were atrocious, as are some of the songs Aberdeen sing to Rangers. These teams say they only do it to wind up CFC or Rangers fans, that is no excuse, both our clubs could argue the same, it's all a laugh etc. If they are cracking down on it with CFC and Rangers fans then surely they must do the same with other clubs, whether it is a wind up or not, it is still wrong. This should have been highlighted last year when the politicians went into overdrive after the 'shame game' at Parkhead, it is not just a problem for the two Glasgow clubs, it is throughout Scotland. McBride seems to be trying to spread the muck around IMO. Just like I say about the police, deal with it if and when it happens, not days, weeks or months after any incident.}
Ed why do think countries like italy have went unpunished for there hooliganism and rascism i.e killing of a policeman and games only getting banned for a weekend could be nything to do with how much power they hold in football?
viewparkbhoy {Ed007's Note - It is the only reason I can think of VPB. The racism is at a horrendous level with monkey chants etc par for the course (and not just in Italy), it has even started rearing it's ugly head in England again. Also look at the recent 'El Clasico' matches, terrible advert for the game, between the players on and off field behaviour to the coaching staff. If that was a Glasgow derby can you imagine the reaction? And let's not forget that Figo had a pig's head (amongst other objects) thrown at him in the Nou Camp after he left Barcelona to join Madrid. Barca had to play two matches behind closed doors and fined 4000 Euros for that incident. Hardly stiff punishment is it? Look at the England fans behaviour over the years, even the weekend just passed, yet you never hear of any UEFA hearings or sanctions being brought against them. Chelsea fans are also being accused of being racist toward their own player, how low is that?}
England still have a rife hooligan problem look at the birmingham derby last year and the west ham millwall game....as u say could you imagine the reaction if it was lennon had eye gouged mccoist or the other way round as mourinho done they would calling for us to get kicked oot of football.....think the problems with celtic and rangers only get highlighted more because of the small powerless country we live in
viewparkbhoy {Ed007's Note - I think you have a valid point there VPB. I am surprised Rangers didn't fight harder against their ban when you see/hear what goes on across Europe.}
Oh Edy bhoy the 1st post bigging you up eh!
You must be blushing LOL {Ed007's Note - It's a burden I have learnt to live with :-)

Ed has Craig whyte found & killed the following people:
Miko,evingg(sp),tony & wee pat.
Lol they haven't been on in ages either that or they have all walked past the Celtic dressing room & picked up a injury lol
Ps how the foot/ankle ed?
Lenny {Ed007's Note - I don't know where they are Lenny. Ankle is just the same thanks, just waiting on a date for more ops.}
The last time a heard about wee pat he was going to court if that has anything to do with it {Ed007's Note - Probably :-)
I think Tony mentioned he was going on holiday about a week ago, I think Miko only posts now and again these days and we all miss wee Pat's words of "wisdom" hurry back Timalloy
Lenny, He didnt kill me, just slapped a gagging order on me. Im now limited to 300 characters per post, and i just cant put my point across in that few characters lol
Evinguu
Wee Pat is having a "wee holiday" on behaif of HMP service, I won't go into details as to why. {Ed007's Note - Probably needed a break from Vera.}
ED007 did you see BBC news tonight about overcrowding in Barlinnie, if our Pat is indeed a guest, I suggest a campaign to "free wee Pat fae posso" cos we aw no, he niver dun it, could'nae hae dun it and hunnerts of us oan here were wi' him at the time, (heard it wis sum polis super waanting tae make a name fae himsel) LOL Timalloy, {Ed007's Note - He was probably caught on camera by the police.}

Our best line up at CB at the moment would be Mullgrew and Hooiveld IMHO, but we have never really had the chance to see if this could work. They are both better players than Loovens and Big Dan (although not hard to believe as I think I'm better than them and I'm 44!).
The question is why does a good player become a poor player?
Both Hooiveld and Rogne came in with everyone saying they were going to be the future of our defence for years to come but they seemed to have never really been given the chance (all be it that both have had a number of injuries and missed many opportunities to play for any extended period.. but that's another story!)
I like many think we need an experienced player in this position so the possibility of getting the money we paid or better for Hooiveld would possibly be to much to refuse.
Give his failure to make the impact we all expected, bringing him back would just be a risk of him falling back into the rut he was in up here and would undo all the good he has done down south.
Therefore I think the possibility of £1.5M-£2M is too good to refuse. Take the money and buy quality and experience like Ivan Ramis who we should have gotten in 2-3 years ago!
Plus pleeeeaaasssee Celtic get yer finger oot and get in there and buy big Jerry Bengtson before he is snapped up by one of the Spanish clubs.
He's now scored 33 in 47 and is one of the stand-out stars of the Honduran league.
This is what we could be in for -

Lennon out Hiddink in by game against the Rankers
As long as we beat sellick wee man
It's not a bad shout as Hiddink is an excellent and experienced manager but I am 99percent positive we couldn't afford him. He was very close to becoming the chelsea boss (think it was due to the fact he was with Russia and couldn't get out of the contract). So I really don't think even if we wanted him we couldnt come near his wage demands.
CB67 {Ed007's Note - Hiddink has never left the Chelsea payroll. Even after he left the club he has been getting paid by Abramovich in an advisory role.}
As far as I can remember he has never been Chelsea Manger? Has he??
Regardless I can't understand why he's still being paid? What exactly is he doing for Chelski whilst managing other teams??
Abramo obviously has more money than sense, but that's prob a given.
CB67 {Ed007's Note - He was caretaker of Chelsea when Scolari was sacked and has remained on the payroll ever since. AVB initially knocked back Chelsea because he wanted to take Porto into the CL. Hiddink was lined up to become manager then until AVB changed his mind. I don't usually use Wiki as a source but have a read at these. Believe it or not I am friendly with someone who is a very close personal friend to Piet:

I see it seems likely Celtic will not be punished for the alledged chanting at the Hibs game. Firstly i wa at the hibs game and i assume the chanting referred to is the song "boys of the old brigade" which was heard from one corner of the stadium occupied by the green brigade.
It appears the green brigade are hell bent on confrontation with the Celtic board and football authorities in general and are seeing how far they can push the boundaries! While the song is clearly not sectarian but political and referring to actual events in 1922. It is no more sectarian than flower of Scotland however the conception of the song to others is somewhat different!
The green Brigade do much to improve the atmosphere at Celtic Park and while i share some of the politacal views a football stadium should not be used as a politiacal soapbox. I would urge the green brigade to cease singing this 1 song for the good of the club and concentrate on other ways of creating atmosphere which they have been for the most part very succesfull in doing.
I will add the heavy handedness of the police towards these guys is not helping either.
Lets sort this out!
I agree with what you say. I am a proud Irish man and you couldn't get greener than me but GB should leave the political songs out of football. 2016 is fast approaching which will be the centenary year of 1916 rising it will be a time of celebration and remembrance. We haven't forgotten about those brave men GB so please stop singing the songs at the games and please continue with great atmosphere you create for club that we all dearly love and just remember that the men of 1916 fought for equal rights for everyone so if you want to honour those men stop singing the songs. Come on you boys in green bigirishmac. {Ed007's Note - There are plenty of acceptable songs that can be sung BIM. If it continues tyhe club will be forced to break up Section 111, which would be a shame, the atmosphere the GB brings is great stuff, it is just some of their song that are the problem. Good post mate.}
Hang on a wee sec, your complaining about police being heavy handed but if you read other posts by Ed007 he's complaining about the police not doing enough to step in and make arrests! You can't both be right! {Ed007's Note - I'm sticking with what I said, if there is an offence caused then the culprit should be arrested, isn't that what the police are there for, rather than to stand and video the crowd? There have been reports of police heavy handedness as the crowd leaves the stadium, one young girl was knocked to the ground by a police officer after the Hibs game, and when her father complained he was threatened with arrest. Obviously the guy (or young girl) didn't deserve treated like that, but if the culprits who caused the incident that has been reported to the SPL had been arrested at the time, it would make the case stronger.}
16 Nov 2011 11:44:39
Imo you are always going to get people signing the songs that have been sung at CP for years and years.
I can't see how it can be policed in any proper way at all, the only real worry (i can see) is that if UEFA get involved then we could be in trouble.
Omly IMO. {Ed007's Note - UEFA are involved. When the club, the manager, UEFA, police and politicians and anti-sectarian charities are asking you to stop, I think it is about time people took notice. Jock Stein had a problem with this and made his feelings on the matter very clear at a a match against Stirling Albion in the 70s. Take pride in your club and it's heritage, but leave the sectarianism/politics at the turntstile or better still, leave it out of your life altogether. Why persist in tarnishing the name of a club that these people profess to love so much? If they loved the club so much they would not want to see it being dragged down or punished because of they (as fans) actions.}
Yep Ed your right, my main point was I see it close to impossible to stop. If the club get punished (which will prob happen) the only way to finish this is for fans to turn against fans (if you know what I mean). Its going to be extremley hard to solve this problem. {Ed007's Note - It is up to the fans who are doing it so solve the problem, they are causing it. And if it comes to fans self-policing then so be it. The decent fans far outweigh the ones causing the problem.}
Yep fair point, as a younger fan back in the day i'll admit I joined in with a few "banned" songs as I'm sure a lot of us have. But your right on self policing issue, that would be the only way of sorting it out. Which itself could lead to some problems itself,so were in a real dodgy area here. Although if we are being picked out so should the other lot and hearts!!
So would you be up for banning the Green Brigade then Ed? Putting you on the spot for this one buddy bhoy!!
CB67 {Ed007's Note - I wouldn't ban them, but if they can't follow the rules and keep singing songs that get the club into trouble they should be disbanded, simple as that. 111 was given to them to create a singing section, not give them a political platform. I would hate to see them disbanded as the atmosphere they create is magnificent, but I would hate CFC to be getting hauled in front of UEFA/SPL and facing fines or sanctions, because of songs they persist in singing, even after the club has asked them to stop.}
Fair point bud, put you on the spot a bit but you justified your point well.
Good on you Ed, christ your getting to much praise lately!!LOL ;)
CB67 {Ed007's Note - I might be an opinionated sarcastic b*****d, but I will always stick by my own personal principles and opinion, while trying to be truthful and as unbiased as possible (in a serious civilised discussion). Obviously as a CFC fan I will back the club, but if I think something is wrong I will say so. As for the praise lmao you should have seen what I have had to read, delete and ban people for today.}

You Scots are about to see the difference in the EPL to the SPL - Wayne Rooney has reportedly hired a bunch of architects to design him a garden shed. LMAO.
Are we about to see the country's first Mock-Tudor design perhaps, or maybe a Post-Modernist glass structure (that the barm will probably crack when he takes his lawnmower out) ?
Tune in for another exciting episode of "***** the supporters money up the wall" !
The Real KB {Ed007's Note - Was B&Q closed? Architects to design a shed!!!}
KB wow what a blow to all us scots!! I'm actually in tears. You and your monkey mate rooney should join brain cells to come up with something better than that p1sh!
xxxx
CB67 {Ed007's Note - KB is a LFC fan mate. I doubt he likes Rooney too much.}
BBC Sport Football Gossip.
Bl**dy hell. I've just caught up with the posts from yesterday. Talk about an inappropriate time to attempt a bit of humour. I'm gonna sit this one out. Lol.

It was a bit of banter CB67 lad, at Rooney's expense. As I say, time for sharp exit..

listen why not just sing celtic songs instead of the rest of this rubbish, this is a modern football team you are supporting , with 24hr media and phone - ins , internet forums people are starting to use the name of your great team to stir things up and incite hatred, fact some of your fans oppose the wearing of the poppy and as a former soldier I i have no problem with that, but dont publicly oppose it and embarrasS your team and board. there is people at both rangers and celtic who are working to rid our game of whatever is being fed to supporters that will only bring trouble to your club . For every MINUTE you sing these non football related songs your team is missing 60 seconds of good celtic minded support. I understand that the club has a history and cultural past but when your own club , police , churches , lawyers and politicians dont want these songs and it is them who will stop you from entering the match you need to listen . {Ed007's Note - Well said mate.}
Could not agree more well said sir. No need for this from both sides.
