I'm never sure about friendlies but was so glad to see them score and win. James Forrest & Fraser Forster seemed to play well..a wee quote from the Celtic website:- 'James Forrest, who was looking one of the quickest and sharpest in the hoops' Mrs E

One of my neighbours works as a salesman for SLY (honest) with it being
close season they are working hard to sign up new customers. My friend and his colleague travel to different shopping centres around Glasgow, with their Sly van which extends into a small awning, they have a tv set plugged in showing all the channels.
Last week they were at Govan Cross pitching their Sly tv packages, to
nobody's surprise they met with little success and instead had a steady stream of unhappy Govan ex bears coming up and wanting to cancel their contracts. My poor neighbour had to explain time and time again he was SELLING the tv packages and could not cancel anything. He went home each night with a string of obscenities in his ear about Sly. He is at Silverburn next and hopes for better luck. Timalloy

Agree with the comment above! I'd take Barton also for all he is a bit of a nutter would still be a top player, wages would probably be a problem however

Stef88

I would not give him a shirt in a testimonial match.The perfect example of whats wrong with modern day footballers. Joe McBride V Joey Barton: Compare and contrast...........green jhedi

Exactly GJ, Barton is an animal, i wouldn't allow the man in the ground never mind give him a shirt and allow him in our (unbroken 125yr) history! The man has stubbed a cigar out on a youth players face!

Stef i think your needing to stay out of the sun for a few days mate, he's trouble. I know Ed detests him too, anyone remember last years rant?

DazzaBhoy

Maybe he would come in handy vs brown and hope. shamrock

Have to agree with you there Green Jedhi

you all know we are all out of business withut them visiting twice a year. or so they say.. take aberdeen for an example. 8000 for 3 years at £20 = £480,000 add £20,000 for inflation . so the dons are down half a million.. they sold Fyvie yesterday for £600,000. so they have made up the shortfall before a ball is kicked without newco in the league . don't thik they are as important as they think they are.. shamrock

Does anyone know if we looked into signing Fyvie at all, or even showed any interest?
Maybe has not quite shown enough to be Celtic quality but I have always been impressed when i have seen him play. Hopefully he does well at wigan, a future scottish star i reckon.

I said the same thing weeks ago,the money wont be that hard to make up.The Scottish Press should be ashamed of the financial picture they painted.........green jhedi

The Sly deal was a poor one and the amount BBc are paying is terrible.

Aberdeen had to sell their most prized player for a pittance in order to make ends meet. GJ - how many other clubs will have to do the same and, if so, how will that improve the quality of football or allow other clubs to mount any sort of challenge?

It's a fact of football life that every player has a price.Sensible clubs plan for losing players and replacing them with youngsters.More young players see guys getting first team places,more will want to sign for you.Dundee Utd and Aberdeen were very clever at this till they started paying stupid cash to over hyped overseas players.it's a natural order........green jhedi

Well GJ I done work for two journalists and as well all know Murray hand most of them in his pocket and still to this day there told to prefer rangers too celtic.

St Johnstone said a few months back all they need to do is sell 1 player to make up the cost. It's sqeeky bum farts over the sly deal that's the problem, I still believe even if newco were in the spl they wouldn't be a force like they were last season which if they weren't then sly would just bail anyway

Noted that Lineakers and Hansen's BBC yearly combined wage of £3m is the same amount that BBC in Scotland pay the SFA/SPL annually for the rights to show Scottish Football TV highlights.

Lenny: I posted months ago that this should be the watershed moment for the game in Scotland.The BBC pay 500k for all their TV and radio rights to Scottish football,they pay Hansen DOUBLE that(plus expenses) to do one show a week!It's time clubs took their future in hand,if the deal is crap dont take it.The box in the corner controls so many thick, dumb people it is time to say enough already. Celtic (and rangers) kicking off at 12 oclock in Inverness and Aberdeen,no thanks.Remember Big Jocks words,saturday at three is football time,lets use this fans"spring" to reclaim our game..............green jhedi

Do you know that the sky deal is £1m a year more than it was in 1998.. f***** shockin .. shamrock

I'ts all pie in the sky to me because i prefer irn bru. Anyway cheer up 'cos the we arrow people will be back in 3yrs. Geo the Ger

Hi Ed
Sorry bout last night did not mean to offend just got annoyed at replies you can't have it both ways patter..

All i was trying to say was you can't have a child paying £80 more for a season ticket than a kid same age that sits next to him..

I did support the team hence the reason i included Rangers games in his package..

But this Celtic need your money is nonsense even a gesture to all Parent and child who purchased Rangers package get to Inter game for free

But no as the P.R is shocking, that was all i was trying to say..

Keep up the good work

Jason {Ed007's Note - No problem Jason. We'll just draw a line under it as far as I am concerned.}

Is this a new mellowed out ED we are seeing here? Watch it,we will be getting worried mate!..........green jhedi {Ed007's Note - I am in a good mood today :-)

Cheers Bud

Glad you see where i was coming from..

"It does'nt matter how low we get, the vast majority of Celtic fans want us dead and buried. The only way, we have at the moment, to defend ourselves is by cancelling sky sports and not banking with clydesdale. PS. . . is there other ways we can hurt Celtic/SPL/SFA financially"

This was taken from sevco site. Sums them up really. Do not seem to realise the club they keep going on about died a while ago now. Also why Celtic, the SPL and SFA? Was it not the oldco that brought the game into disrepute with all of the wrongdoing over the years? not any of the afformentioned institutions. Clutching at straws because SKY have an obligation to the Scottish game unless the SPL choose otherwise by not taking up their option to extend the deal as ED pointed out to me the other day, also the same goes for Clydesdale so closing accounts is only going to hurt the Scottish economy not any of the above mentioned. They all feel hard done to well if there was no wrongdoing at the oldco then there would be no need for sevco hence none of the carry on we have seen in the past 6 months or so. BacciBhoy

Hmmm i wonder why u posted this and went onto the sevco site ...... to take pot shots .... at a team that (according to you) have nothing to do with celtic .. ur post came accross as having a dig at ur rivals ... if u really believe we have nothing to do with old co then y on our/your rivals site if they aint your rivals ... if we aint anything to do to with the old co then y waste your time with the above .... make up your mind either nothing to do with old co our we are the same thing repackaged and still your rivals and the rest .... which is it to be then ?

Out of the eight contracted players Pompey can't afford to keep, is there any you would like to see, or believe we could sign this summer?

Tal Ben Haim, Greg Halford, Erik Huseklepp, Dave Kitson, Liam Lawrence, David Norris, Luke Varney, Kanu? {Ed013's Note - Haim would demand massive wages. The rest would be very affordable and be very good additions, especially Halford as I really rate him}

Tbh i dont think we should be looking to sign players who were not good enough to keep pompey in the championship but i would not be suprised to see us linked with a few of the players mentioned. Davie c
