Right before anyone says anything, I've no idea what this guy done and don't condone his behaviour but has anyone seen the guy in a tenement flat surrounded by armed polis, it's the best video I've seen in ages, he summons the sergeant over by shouting, you with the hat c'mere n talk tae me, a want a bag ae cans n a want brendan Rodgers back. 😂 😂 😂 😂.

19 Mar 2019 21:36:48
Seen it did he get his cans 😂😂😂.

19 Mar 2019 21:44:43
Haha a don't know, hope so or it was all for nothin.

19 Mar 2019 23:32:58
Did Paul Gascoigne appear?

20 Mar 2019 01:18:35
Could the GB not do a special can collection for him at the zombies game?

20 Mar 2019 07:17:20
Phil that was the first thing that came to ma mind.

20 Mar 2019 07:21:29
He wants to work the man he said he’s worked since he was 16 so credit to the guy wanting a job.

20 Mar 2019 08:42:56
God love him it sounds like lifes all just got too much for the guy and BRexit just pushed him over the edge.

20 Mar 2019 09:20:59
LMAO JFP1888 liked that one lol.

20 Mar 2019 13:26:47
The guy had been left with two kids and trying to work two jobs in between their school. he had also that day been at his best pals funeral. the guy just crumbled. do you now understand his behaviour?

20 Mar 2019 13:39:53
I'd like to see that!

20 Mar 2019 15:38:20
Bigp I wasn't aware of his situation, that's tragic. Hope the courts take it into account. U can't say his demands weren't funny tho.

20 Mar 2019 18:24:40
Steph I just saw today my pals son state the facts of why he was the way he was on fb. Guy just cracked too much going on in his life? You never know how stress affects you? I split with my mrs last September have seen my daughter for 30 mins in 7 weeks even though I want to see her. My ex is saying if I don’t agree to a Wednesday and Sunday every week I don’t get her. I work as a manager in retail I can’t get that and she knows that? I can sympathise how stress affects you!

20 Mar 2019 18:59:58
Big P that video got less funny and was sadder the more I watched it today but nobody was laughing at him. I’m old and ugly enough to know that life can just get too much at times. The guys comments about the cans and wanting Rodgers back were flippantl and the last thing on his mind. What he really wanted was a job to be able to look after his weans. God love him as I said. You and him will both be in my prayers. God Bless my friend nobody meant any offence I’m sure. In fact it would be great if we could find a way of helping the guy out. 👍☘️.

20 Mar 2019 19:08:12
I get it completely bigp. I went through marriage break up 4 years ago and I lost a ton of weight in the space of a few months through stress. What is most frustrating for most people in desperate situations like this is that no matter how hard they try to make things better, they’re continually facing ridiculous hurdles that, in a fair world, just shouldn’t be there. I hope you get things sorted out with your daughter because that must be really hard to deal with. Don’t give up cos you will sort it out in the end. I hope the courts give the guy a bit of leaway as well cos it sounds like he needs it.

20 Mar 2019 19:21:53
Mate get yourself some legal advice, women don't hold all the cards anymore. I don't know your financial situation but if a lawyer is out the question then at least try citizens advice. She shouldn't be able to dictate your days, she must be a peice of work to use your kids as pawns. I'd end up in the hospital or jail, hopefully your coping awrite with it bud.

20 Mar 2019 20:01:44
Get yourself a lawyer and go for parental rights. Saves you dragging kids through court and puts you on equal footing. I did it with my son years ago as I couldn't even take him on holiday without her ok. Wasnt willing to be at her beck and call using our son to control me. Best thing I ever did. Good luck.

19 Mar 2019 16:52:36
I hear wee bits here and there from you all regarding Ntcham, but what's the skinny? Consensus suggests he's unhappy or unmotivated. I'd really like to hold onto him and build a team around him, McGregor, Forrest, Tierney this summer. I'd try to get Weah on a longer loan (with option? ) too.

19 Mar 2019 17:24:07
Isn't he just injured?

19 Mar 2019 18:18:02
This injury seems to be dragging on I wonder if there’s more to this than meets the eye.

19 Mar 2019 19:57:07
Apparently he’s missing moussa 👀 fact he’s been injured so much gives me impression that he will still be here next season I think he’s going to be a great player don’t buy into half the rumours but then again I thought the snake would never leave 😬.

20 Mar 2019 08:33:37
I mentioned previously we were at the St Johnstone home game (I think) and he was on the subs bench and warmed up, but after warm up there was announcement made that he was being replaced on the bench by Mikey Johnston so assuming he pulled something in warm up right after coming back from his lay off which can't really be helped.

19 Mar 2019 15:10:53
Who those Darren Bent think he is saying he would love to join celtic or rangers. Support one or the other bent and we certainly don't want you so get in contact with your buddies and join the rest of has beens in rangers.

19 Mar 2019 18:26:44
Spot on Paul. perfect example of English arrogance who think has been can still cut it in Scotland a la Joey the Budgie Barton, Defoe and our very own Carlton Cole. Bringing them up here just exacerbates their smug attitude. No time be they Scottish, English or Irish who only want to come and play for us when their best days are well behind them. I include the Keanes in that comment. If we’re not good enough in your prime like we were for the King of Kings we’re not could enough when you’re nearing or past the end of your career.

19 Mar 2019 19:37:34
Completely agree with both of you and it doesn’t just go for players. It goes for managers as well. If you thing a middle of the table English team is a step up from Celtic, you’re not Celtic class.

19 Mar 2019 19:48:25
I'm not sure even Carlton held out that much hope! there will always be that classic overhead arse kick.

19 Mar 2019 19:58:52
That article made me laugh guys a tit.

19 Mar 2019 21:17:39
You don't have to be a supporter to play for a team, these players are professionals, don't want Bent anywhere near Parkhead, that's because he is well past it, but if he was years younger and at the top of his game, and made that statement, would you still not want him, look at John Hartson, he went to Rangers first, so he could have been the one saying the same thing, so youse lot would have turned him down?

19 Mar 2019 21:38:18
But he’s no top of his game that’s what makes the article farcical.

19 Mar 2019 13:50:57
Ed just a thought on the manager situation. Obviously we don't know the boards intentions as yet. Maybe they think Lenny is the man to take us forward or maybe not. My question is if it is not to be Lennon will the board at this stage have contacted potential candidates for taking over at the end of the season. I would hate to think that if they do decide to go with someone new that it would be a drawn out process given the short period of time before our European qualifiers start and the rebuilding that is required on the park.

{Ed007's Note - There will have been some kind of an approach made to Steve Clarke and maybe some preliminary talks with some of the applicants but I still think it'll be Lennon if Clarke turns it down. I really don't see the board pushing the boat out again on a manager at Rodgers level with the wages etc involved.

19 Mar 2019 15:29:57
I hope you are wrong Ed Maybe not to Rodgers level but I hope higher than Lennon I know it sounds like I don't like him but that is wrong I do like him but I just don't think he will take us forward he in my opinion is at Hibs level But not at ours.

{Ed007's Note - I just see it as a backwards step and if he is appointed are we going back to Lawwell ultimately deciding who we sign, more loans from his son at City?
The only way I would like to see Lennon get the job is if as is expected Congerton leaves then we move to bring in a top DOF to oversee the footballing operations.}

19 Mar 2019 16:00:38
God I hope they're not approaching Clarke.

{Ed007's Note - Me too, Kev but the same person who told me Rodgers was getting the job said that as things stand it'll either Clarke or Lennon. Hopefully that'll change in the coming weeks and considering Clarke has publicly stated he won't manage any other Scottish team than Kilmarnock then it's a very short-sighted approach by the board imo. It would be interesting to find out who has applied or who has got their agent to sound things out.}

19 Mar 2019 16:45:05
I hope if its not Lennon then the board will do the right thing and have the new man sounded out talked to and deal done before the end of this season so he can have a look at what we have and what is needed possibly let Lennon finish this season but the new man steps in from then.

19 Mar 2019 16:54:59
If that’s the level of ambition from the board then I pray to god It’s Lenny appointed over Clark. I know not everyone is a fan of Lenny but I’ve mentioned on previous threads I’d be happy to have him over some of the other names mentioned. On the other hand I also think he’s on a bit of a hiding to nothing. For example if he fails to beat Sevco twice or fails to complete the treble there will be a lot of people unhappy if he is appointed. Marco Rose would be my first choice but from what you’re saying Ed that calibre of manager looks like a pipe dream.

19 Mar 2019 17:16:38
When you look at it from both angles, it was a fantastic coup getting someone of Rodgers' class and ability and his record of an unbeaten treble and 7 trophies on the bounce will probably never be beaten for quite some time?
However, while we lapped up the success, he was obviously putting himself in the shop-window - especially when he and Lawell fell out and the working relationship deteriorated.
We will probably never be able to keep anyone of that Ilk again, because of where we play and the cash limitations to attract/ keep top players and as much as it hurts; there'll always be bigger offers from much smaller teams who lack the history and tradition of Celtic but are backed by £B's from TV, Corporate Business or a bored sugar-daddy who needs a hobby.
It is a harsh reality check, that we are talking about NL and SC for the managers job, but the club, has been really rocked by recent events and will not want to go through that again.
As long as we maintain the current dominance it'll be fine, but as soon as the cracks show - we'll see a howling demand for change.

19 Mar 2019 17:15:30
You’ve been vocal on both options Ed; Lennon and Clarke, but of that is our limit, who would You prefer?

Would there be any value in bringing in Ronnie as a coach?

{Ed007's Note - It would have to be Lennon for me, in management he's the more experienced of the two, he's managed us in Europe and been there and done it with Celtic. Lennon knows exactly what the job requires and the impact it has on your lifeI don't think Clarke would appreciate the level of intrusion in his personal/family life - not to mention the rise in sectarianism that would be aimed at him and his family.}

19 Mar 2019 20:00:02
If it's just they 2 it's got to be Lennon. Clarke has done nothing in the game.

19 Mar 2019 21:48:15
Don’t want either both a backward step. Loving trebles loving the domination and crave the ten more than anything we can achieve. But in these years of dominance ultimately the goal has to be progression each year. Team improving standard of player and performance each year. No doubt both will do the necessary to win games might even tight up in Europe but will we improve? I don’t think so love to be wrong. The snake has gone but fk me he definitely improved us and if it weren’t for his bull it wouldn’t hurt so much. We need a progressive coach at the helm better people than me know who these are and I hope we go that way.

20 Mar 2019 00:53:22
Welshy, I agree with your post, but what do you think progression would be?
I mean realistically, from where Rodgers took us.

Better signings? I’d say that arguably the easiest part to improve on.

Better results? Better youth set up? Last 16 of Europe? Better on the domestic front?

I don’t know the answer myself, which is why I’m asking. It has to be what PL etc. are thinking right now. Do we hire a big time manager and have him implement his new ideas, or do we hire the likes of NL and go with continuity of everything BR built.

20 Mar 2019 13:29:16
Whomever is given the job for me I hope we get someone with good tactical knowledge and isn't as one dimensional in they're setup I really don't like the idea of a manager sticking to the same formation as we have been and team's in Scotland know how to stop us playing now and we still even with Lenny in we're playing the same way when I see them passing the Ball across the backline all the time it infuriates me.

19 Mar 2019 08:58:58
Just watched the Alan Partridge show with the band giving it the Rebs! If you have not seen it yet, it's a must! All I could think about was the handful of zombies standing out in the teeming rain protesting! The peepul will be ragin'.

19 Mar 2019 15:16:53
Seen a clip of it, I've been meaning to watch that anyway it just keeps slipping my mind. Is it on bbc iplayer.

19 Mar 2019 19:47:20
Just seen it there😂🤣 funny as f**k.
