Cheers ed, I liked the look of him in his first game to , only 25 mins or so, if we keep him free of injury he showed flashes of what he's capable of . Mrs E. And gj, ( not forgetting timalloy, I got grief not giving him a menny on one of my first posts) lol, really look forward to their points of view and timalloy brings good humour, keep it up guys, eh and gal .

Edoo7, I don't think he brings anything to the game (pukki), to be honest mgeogh could do the same job if not better imo, Nl had enough time to pull out of the boreighter (Spelling) deal, do you think that he regrets it, if indeed he sanctioned it?
Balde I would play every second half of spl games we know we are going to have to break down defences and I don't think we have that type of player, we can have jamesy f or izzy or anybody putting ball after ball in the box but no-one with the nous to get on the end of things, give balde the same time as pukki I think we'll get more out of him, anyway looking forward to Tuesday. {Ed007's Note - Boerrigter was a NL signing and I don't think he will be regretting it just yet. I was looking forward to seeing him as I think he is a player that will really get the fans excited. His current injury is nothing to do with his back injury at Ajax where playing on with two fractured bones in his back made the injury worse until it kept him out altogether. That was his only serious injury and CFC put him through a medical that lasted two days with two different doctors (one in Edinburgh, the other in London) confirming his back was fine. With a broken bone in his ankle now I would have a guess that maybe he is just not a very quick healer. I know from personal experience how problematic that can be.}

I thought we were poor 1st half but much better 2nd half we got nothing off ref all day Thomson must had at least 10 fouls and no booking their goal well offside but end of day take draw tues the big game

I normally don't mind the International break but was worried this time. Quite a physical game (again) but this is Scottish football.

We need a Centre Forward in January and not a work in progress ~ Mrs E

Forrest is a f***ing terrible player and before all the p*sh about him coming back from injury tell me that last time he got pass marks in a hoops jersey. If there isn't better than him in the youth squad there's something far wrong.He brings nothing to the team

Humble pie?

Pedro sanchez

Some goal he scored right enough

Sublime goal by James Forrest.

A think the goal shows the bhoy has got something, agree but he hasn't produced in a while now. Pukki showing a couple of nice touches but other than that he ain't doing much

What u saying again
Andybhoy 73

No humble pie here pal, I'm not as fickle as that., so he scores a goal and all of a sudden he is a great player. Bollocks! a winger for Celtic in the SPFL that has only scored about 20 goals in over 100 games is nowhere near good enough.He is no better than a McGeady or Brian McLaughlin. Get a f***ing grip You are probably the same people that would crucify a player when he makes a mistake then cheer his name when he does something decent the next minute Forrest is never Celtic class and never will be anyone that thinks he is can't know to much about football

@1 Quite a lot of anonymous negative Celtic posts on here recently. I know we do not need to always heap praise on the Club all the time but c'mon.

Brings nothing to the team except a goal that fires Celtic in the Champions League group stages.

He's an old fashioned winger and not everyone appreciates that, not everyone's cuppa tea I suppose.

I don't think there isn't any better in the youth squad, so there must be something 'far wrong' ~ Mrs E

Well as someone who followed Celtic for 30 odd years I say I know abit about football and anyone who does knows wingers never do it every Game but when he's good he very good the boy still young and can only get better and as for McLaughlin you must be having a laugh the boy was murder

My nephew plays for the U20s but I'd rather not mention his name for obvious reason. According to him Forrest has been told that this is his make or break season. Seems he has went down the same road as Watt and he is lucky he easn't sent out to Belgium as Lierse wanted both of them. It's just a rumour at the club so I'm not claiming it to be fact.If we could get £3 or 4 million for him I would snap it up tbh we need someone more consistent and not so injury prone

My post is not for @1 its for the OP and the last sentence should read 'I don't think there 'IS' any better in the youth squad, so there must be something 'far wrong' ~ Mrs E

'Forrest is never Celtic class and never will be anyone that thinks he is can't know to much about football'

Aw naw Celtic have a Manager and Captain and then there's Wee Strachan that can't know much about football. ~ Mrs E

Is that the same Lennon that bought Bangura or the same strachan that brought in Kris Killen? and what do you expect Broony to say, when do team mates slag each other off. I really couldn't give a f**k what strachan does with scotland though but to try and use that to prove a point is miles out. Kenny Dalgleish and John Barnes thought big Scheite was a good player, does that mean he was. Forrest was a good young player but hasn't progressed at all since then and I bet he is in the english championship as a nobody on 2 or 3 years time. I'm actualy surprised the ed has let anyone disagree with you Mrs E he usually looks after all his wee pets and hasn't posted things I have said to you before. At least you have got this far without mentioning sevco {Ed007's Note - Give yourself a shake mate ffs. You do know I actually keep all the registered and regular posters in a cage and tell them what to think... and there's always room for one more if you are interested. I don't have any favourites or 'wee pets', I'm a cheeky and arrogant sod to everyone.
Mrs E is a regular and well respected poster on here and is big enough (and good-looking enough) to take care of herself. I also can't see any posts from you that haven't been posted, and if there were it would be for a reason, like trolling or stalking after one particular poster. You are entitled to your opinion about players but so is everyone else, although your opinion might carry more weight if you tagged your posts or registered, you have signed a couple of posts in the past so why not just register that name?
People on here don't mind a good debate, I actually agree with you on some of your points about Forrest he is nowhere near the level he should be at his age and the amount of first team experience he has had. It seems a Scottish football trait though that players lose something in the step up from youth/reserve football to the next level, I have said it for years with Donnelly, Burchill and even McGeady just some examples of it.}

The wee man could hardly stand when he popped up and scored to get us into c.l.scored again today to earn us a point. He might not be everyones cup of tea but the wee man can play and the stick he recieves at time is out of order reminds of the$hit sammi gets flair players thrive on backing and can't always have a blinder it's the nature of the positions they play frustrating as it is

Forrest is rank rotten! There is no excitement when he takes a player on, just a "when is he going to fall on his arse and shout for a free kick!. Like a snipers prey. The fact that he has been trusted by both GS and NL means nothing more than he has potential. but has failed to deliver it. Some lovers of this player( mostly auld wumin) should get over him and understand that the guy is a waste of a team jersey.

Briggs

He's not rank, terrible or crap agreed he isn't performing at a consistent level just now but a would say that is because he is in and out of the team with an injury here there and everywhere .
It wasnt so long ago he was voted in the top 20 prospects in European football and was having a great run in the team, so much so he was supposedly a target for Tottenham for about 7m.
Today's goal shows he has something but now is his time to start showing it more often or am afraid he will end up in the championship.

Briggs you don't get to the level Forrest is at by being rank rotten and it does not take an auld wummin to know that. Rank rotten compared to who, certainly not anyone else playing in the same position of the same age in our league. He's on a different level to the likes of Gary MacKay-Steven and always has been.

I do like Forrest and would like to see him do well, I think this is the season he has to prove himself and hopefully he can stay injury free. Good luck to him.

@ 12. Good job i'm in a mellow mood lol Yes, its the same Lennon that bought Bangura (see you are focusing on the negative again) but also the same Lennon that got Celtic to the last 16 of the Champions League in his first managerial CL outing when many expected him to get 0 points from the group. He was also personally responsible for buying Hooper, not John Park and we won't mention Lennon's perusal of Fraser Forster when most fans wondered why. A friggin steal at £2m.

John Barnes - Petrov

This is not about Broony slagging players off, have you ever really heard Brown speaking about Forrest?

Anyway I was responding to your statement 'Forrest is never Celtic class and never will be anyone that thinks he is can't know to much about football'. Neil Lennon as we all know rates him so in your opinion can't know to much about football.

I can assure you Ed007 let's me take a hammering on here sometimes and do not believe for a minute he holds back. We've also had many a difference of opinion.

Sevco is not a word I use but not for reasons you might think.

Monkeybhoy, if Naismith can play in the EPL so can Forrest :-) ~ Mrs E

Mrs E a don't know why your having a go at me av not had ago at you, av stuck up for Forrest a do however think if he doesn't start performing at a consistent level he won't continue playing for Celtic, a do think he has something just needs consistency.
A don't really care what Naismith does

Sorry Monkeybhoy, I wasn't having a go at all.

I was just using a comparison and I know a few who will say this and that player will end up in the English Championship but there's quite a few players in the EPL that are not 'all that' (hope that makes sense).

Its the negative anonymous posts I'm not a huge fan of, you would be forgiven for thinking the Club had huge problems reading some of them ~ Mrs E

Just last week, it was reported that the man in charge of the kitty, Stockbridge, had told a fans' group that Rangers would be down to their last £1 million by April. As market-sensitive revelations go, this one could have sent the stock through the floor.

That stick of dynamite was soon followed by the well-publicised tale of Mather's trip to South Africa for talks with Dave King with a view to installing the Glasgow-born entrepreneur as the club's next chairman. The least surprising aspect of this story was its consequence, an official retraction on Rangers' website, ordered by the company's nominated adviser (NOMAD), Daniel Stewart.

The most ludicrous - indeed, scandalous - point of the indiscretions, and a series of others throughout the short history of The Rangers International Football Club plc is that no director, from the chairman and chief executive down, appears to have been aware of their illegitimacy, or had the power - or the authority - to prevent them.

Stealing the charity game money by three office bearers of the club and being found guilty by the charities commission is a reflection on their poor moral and professional judgement.
I would have thought the AIM exchange doesn't like the same club fable by SEVCO. Investors need to know the club is the company, so that companies and their investors are not easily abandoned by liquidation. This has always been the case. Allowing the club lives on yarn is a serious risk to LSE investors. It's too easy for boards to sink companies leaving "club" intact.
