hi Ed i took our advice this time and let the dust settle before i posted. Again i watched the match online, sitting here in my house with my new away shirt on praying for a good show.... low and behold am left disappointed We played great stuff up until we got into the final third (except for big Dan) then it breaks down?? I aint gonna single out any player because the whole team where particularly s*** apart from maybe Wanyama. Surely Thursday and today proves that the biscuit tin needs to be smashed open and a proper number 9 needs to be sought out and purchased ASAP As for these so called fans calling for NL's head, have a word with yourself, think back 2years (apprx) look at how much of a shambles we were, NL hs brought this club back some pride, weve had some bad results i agree (not many tho) but in general weve improved massively. He needs time and a bit of cash to invest and ive got FAITH he'll get us back were we belong.... Top of the pile. HH paul79 {Ed007's Note - It's better to let the dust settle Paul, if we can see the problems so can NL. He inherited players that are poor at best, it will take time but after last season who can say we are not going in the right direction. Just like last season, this season will be close.}

Evening Ed. Was listening to clyde 1 on the way home from the game 2day and Mark Guidi said that its common knowledge among the press that Neil Lennon was not the driving force behind the signing of Daryl Murphy last summer. U ever hear anything about that? Think that was an astonishing statement, just got me thinking about how much control Lennon has over the signing policy at Parkhead.

Drew {Ed007's Note - Mark Guidis a fool. Tell Him I said that.}

my mate just texted me he works in the radisson blu hotel birminham . he has just seen peterlawell and several other men go into a conference room , they came in a side enterance. My mate isnt a celtic fan but he said there were already people in the room before lawellarrived but didnt see who they were. perhaps a big signing or maybe oneal on his way back? {Ed007's Note - How did he know what Peter Lawwell looks like? Ryan O'Neal? Birmingham? Lenny Henry? Jasper Carrot? The plot thickens!!!!!! Please keep us updated with all the other random people your mate sees, I am totally intrigued by this because a guy that looked like AF was seen at Celtic Park today trying to sell a player called Rooney? I have searched and searched but can't see anything but there was a guy in the chip shop swears he is Elvis.}

Ok guys a terrible performance today but look at he positives 1) hopefully now the board can see what is obvious to everyone else..we need a good seasoned target man/finisher

2)lenny didnt use murph or sammy which shows a lack of trust in them

3)we have hopefully aired some home truths to everyone watching ...we arent playing well.

this is a wee shock but lets be honest it was comin time to show us what yer made of lenny and the board
Chalky bhoy Celtic always

It would need to be a loan cos theres way to many players here allready

21 Aug 2011 21:09:08
to start with why the f*** did we sign forster hes nothing better than zaluska , playing wanyama centre half ? his old club said he isn't a centre half , he said he ISN'T a centre half but lennon thinks aye f*** it centre half for you son ? why brown right mid is it just me or the last 2 games hes been right mid hes actually been more central clearly indicating he DOSE'NT want to play right mid ? then commons he's don't see why lennon keeps playing him this season hes been atroish he hasn't done nothing to impress me this season maloney why is he playing upfront and we still insist on playing high balls into the area when we have no tall striker but we have 2 sitting on the bench ? now ye can slag murphy all ye want but he wins headers something we needed today and then f***ing paddy mccourt everybody shut up about him hes woeful av seen paul telfer play better board need to get there finger out and help lenny

How come when Celtic get badly beaten, that Rangers are suddenly deemed to be world beaters. Ally Mcoist suddenly becomes a tactical genuis, and all the poor results before this are forgotten. This phenonemon also happens the other way around, i remember Gordon Strachan having a nightmare start, but as soon as Rangers had a few bad Results everything was rosy again. I expect the papers will be full of how it's all falling into place for Ally now, and how Lenny is under severe pressure. The thing is though, one team being bad, does not make the other team good.
paddybhoy

Fair point, but Rangers did play well today.. The fact is, Rangers have the easier tie on thursday and i reckon they will win and progress. we have a tricky game, winnable but it wont be easy and after todays performance i wouldnt bet on us doing anything over there.

Ed007 thought we all needed cheering up got told these jokes so not mine so maybe better? you lot judge.

Jewish guy goes to confession, "Father my name is Emil Cohen and I am 82 years old, I have an 24 year old girlfriend and on the side I am dating her 19 year old sister and her 20 year old cousin all three are long legged blondes and we engage in all kinds of naughty activities and I have never been happier.
The priest says "but why are you a jewish man, telling this to me a Catholic priest"? "Are you kidding says the guy I am telling F.....G EVERYBODY

On holiday in America a tourist runs into a fiercely burning building and spends 10 minutes searching for a 10 year old scottish boy from aberdeen, he finds boy and pulls him to safety, boy is ok but tourist ends up in hospital with 40% burns all over his body, next day the Aberdeen father visits guy in hospital and asks "are you the guy who pulled my son from burning building" yes says the guy weakly still racked in pain, "did you see his £300 trainers" asks the Aberdonian

I worked some gigs in the deep south - Alabama
Talk about Darwin's waiting room, Their are guys in Alabama who ARE their own father
( now Ed007 when gloating bears give you grief tonight just substitute IBROX for alabama) Timalloy

I was at the game today and, needless to say found the performance a real concern. I won't repeat what everyone else is saying. I think we are all agreed on the need for a striker etc. My reason for posting though is a story I heard on Clyde 2 on the way down the road. Basically Jim Delahunt and mark Guidi (I think) were suggesting that Daryll Murphy was not bought by Neil Lennon. As they put it, he was not the driving force behind. the inference was it was Dermot Desmond. CLearly they didnt want to say too much on it, presumlbly some of the information was given to them in confidence. This however is the most worrying thing for me. I've long suspected interference from the board and there is NO WAY players should be foisted on the manager. If true its a disgrace. NL stated through the week that he hadnt been able to afford the wages of one of the SION players we had on trial last December. Interesting then that we managed to waste a load of cash on Freddie Ljungberg the next month. Im not suggesting the NL doesnt pick the team or that he wasnt responsible for the rest of our signings - he clearly was (along with scouts). That said, this is unacceptable as far as Im concerend. Any thoughts ed, anyone?

Celtic are in desperat need of a quality striker. And its going to cost arounnd the 4m mark. Look at big jelivic at rangers defenders are terrified of him Celtic however have nobody like that to stike fear into the oppisision. Celtic need a win desperatly on Thursday even just for a boost to the confidence of the players.
{Ed007's Note - Why are Rangers defenders terrified of Jelavic? Is he taking their lunch money off them? That is bang out of order, he could have bought the club for £1 but he is scaring his team mates, bullying is bullying}

Ah no whit yur sayin ed ah thot a jar a vic wiz fur gettin sum heet tae yir haw waws,ther agane ah kin see the cunnexion,hee haw son hee haw

ED wat the f*** u got 2 do 2 get a post on this sight {Ed007's Note - Who are you? Meet the 'sight' guidelines and not be an immature idiot. If you are a Rangers fan just say, don't kid on you are something you are not, make sense, smile out the window, sing till your hearts content and if you have a decent looking sister give me her phone number.}

21 Aug 2011 18:58:56
rangers fan here , think yous need to sign a jelavic kind of player , strong , powerful and good in the air

21 Aug 2011 18:19:56
first time poster.
just back from the game today I know most people have stole my thunder but its blatenly obvious the problems we have and the signings that are needed.

Back 4 - generally ok but a left back is needed badly for cover until Izzy returns. Majstorovic is a bomb scare as every one can he his distribution is terrible could maybe do with another decent centre half to partner k. wilson.

midfield players are good but we consistently play with a midfield full of central midfielders no natural wide players. Mccourt should be playing in games like this to keep him involved and give width to the team which is badly needed. Forrest is total drawers no end product whatsoever. Fast winger with a final product is needed.

The most important signing must be a big target man whos good with his back to goal and linking up with hooper and/or stokes. The ball doesnt stick up front as we dont have any bheight or strength. Sammy is rotten. Stokes only seems to play well when hooper is playing. He doesnt produce the goods without him.

Sorry for the rant bhoys just needed to clear my thoughts lol. {Ed007's Note - Rants are welcome mate/miss. Welcome to the site}

Oh dear,All I can say is stop wanting to sack the manager stop hacking the boards legs off
why be boring bitter and twisted afyter all you are still the top fans in scotland even in the face
of something like this I wont say wee tim is a turncoat but hes always over at rangers forum saying how wonderful things are at your bit so stop letting him down ,he deserves better
grizzliebear. {Ed007's Note - Tim has problems grizzlie, have you heard his jokes? Welcome over, are you another tourist when the sun is shining because I can't recall you posting before.}

Hi Ed007, I am hoping this defeat will open purse strings at Celtic park, the board have let the fans down too often in the past. Todays game just proved we need quality in, Maloney is finished, Commons has been poor since start of season. Board must do one of two things or both firstly give Lennon cash to buy 2-3 players and then shift out deadwood to free up wages. But strangely I feel optimistic for season as I think we will get new players in and starting on thursday get a good european run going.
Hail hail Timalloy (ps "problems" and me sticking up for you earlier I feel some jokes coming your way) {Ed007's Note - You might as well, the day can't get any worse!}

Ed007 I will take pity on you, anyway when we Celtic fans have a bad day like today who pops up but "wee Pat" we should all thank him for brightening our sad day today. I said last week let pat give team talk. hail hail timalloy
By the way Ed007 well done for letting bears on to gloat, most other eds would not allow it, but we are bigger than that and just let them know what they give they will get back in SPADES LOl timalloy {Ed007's Note - I'm letting them on Tim because that is what the site is about, any Rangers fan posting that isn't getting put up is childish/BS/pi5h. As long as they can take it back it is fine by me, you all know that.}

The reason you are getting laughed at by us bluenoses is that you have tried poking fun at the champs all summer- ironic as you lost title after title. What goes around comes around. {Ed007's Note - What to know what I found the funniest thing in the last few days? The second name down in this list for court:

www.scotcourts.gov.uk/rolls/supreme/lists/r110729_003.htm

Ed007 just looked at court list, will not mention name but take it from me this will NOT go full distance, this is usual shot across the bows legal dealings, this chappie knows a lot of things and no way will they want dirty laundry aired in public, an out of court settlement will be done with a privacy clause attached Timalloy {Ed007's Note - His concern is administration before any settlement will be agreed.}

I have posted here before but I dont always feel that anybody other than the celtic fans are welcome however Ive no issue with that but my last post did contain the issue of both clubs being in partnership in the future with the shortage of money aand the decline of football ,I was just thinking it would be a powerful alliance financially and would have a big support ( I m not a zoomer) as Ive been told Im an agnostic so the issue that spoils it all for both clubs doesnt come into it for me but if as was suggested that the clubs have worked behind the scenes together for a while then Id welcome that as progress although both sets of fans would not.
grizzliebear {Ed007's Note - Rangers fans are always welcome on here Grizzlie, as long is it is civil (which your definitely is), feel free to drop by anytime.}

Well done Celtic's victory today, oh wait no Celtic got beat you say? How can that be? I mean u have a team full of superstars, kayal 10 mil. Brown 10mil, ledley 7mil, hooper 9mil, ki 8mil. And don't forget your exceptional manager who won lots of trophies...oh wots that, he's won nowt 43mil worth of players (as some people claim on here) and a top drawer manager. Ha ha. Rangers have one thing Celtic don't, a winning mentality and you just can buy that. {Ed007's Note - That's what Malmo and Maribor said, Rangers winning mentality is 2nd to none, apart from theirs.}

Ed dont be bitter in the spl we have the winning mentality thats FACT just looked at last 3 years an we r unbeaten this year in spl too bitter bitter ed


T-Bear {Ed007's Note - Bitter or stating facts? We are unbeaten in Europe this year, are Rangers? That winning mentality has rocked the CL to it's core,.......oh wait...}

Gers do have something we dont, but we play classier football- at times.

A winning mentality in the SPL? That's like being voted the tallest midget.

TrampsPants

Tramspants and ed yez really aint got a clue winning the league is that 1st thing that matters simples and we will do it for the 4th year in a row and ed we will see how far uz been unbeaten in europe get u i am glad ur the ed for the darkside coz u aint got a clue about football


T-Bear {Ed007's Note - And your intelligence is staring right out of your posts, Boo Boo. If you are only 14/15 sorry, but if you consider yourself an adult ask for a comma for your next birthday, a dictionary and maybe a thesaurus............"coz uz kid use wan"}

Ur patter is blowing my mind ed {Ed007's Note - Must be, you have even forgot your name.}

Ed,guy has a point,,celtic fans are more concerned by the fact rangers didnt qualify for the cl,surely thats not their main concern,,,,is it not their priority to somehow try and see off the gers in the spl,,something they havent managed to do in three years,,thats fact bye the way,,look at your own results first doo brain {Ed007's Note - We might not need to see Rangers off, HMRC and their ex CEO could do that for us doo brain mate. Or the FFP rules could stop Rangers playing in Europe (unless Maribor do) Just relax and watch the bedlam concur over the next few months He who laughs last laughs best Doo Brain, ILWT mate.}

T Bear always on looking for an argument but thought I would be magnanimous and give you some gifts

1st time poster here Ed. Wot a difference a week makes haha. Yeah guys the last 2 results have been poor and not wot we want or expect but let's be realistic, we have no/little money at best, our scouts have found valuable assets in Kayal,Izzy and Hooper. We clearly don't want to lose them however in the current climate we have to keep the heads above water so casualties will occur at sum stage. Finally let's remember the old adage, if u pay peanuts u get monkeys'
We're a few weeks into the season so lets all just chill for a bit at least till the close of the window
Great site Ed

Hi Ed, hope this could be the 1st post i get. Today's result was shocking, we cant use injuries as an excuse , especially after what Rangers just did to Motherwell with a full squad, injured/suspended or with no work permits. Fans get carried away with 1 good result against Dundee Utd. Aberdeen were unlucky against us, Sion will beat us on thursday and we already have to rely on other teams to take points of Rangers , cos we certainly wont with this squad. Centre Half and a Hartson/Sutton type forward urgently needed before its too late.

{Ed007's Note - Some of the stuff people are trying to post is just ridiculous, they won't get posted so don't waste your own time or especially mine. I have better things to do than read the BS that people are trying to post up. Grow up and accept that this is an adult orientated site where people from CFC and Rangers can talk/banter. If I need to start banning people I will, I am getting severely scunnered with all the nonsense that some people think is funny, it is not. If the site isn't what you are looking for I apologise, but it is what it is so go and find another site to pollute. Even though you don't leave a name I still see your IP address and know exactly where you are. Absolutely childish and pathetic.}

Afternoon Ed007, keep up the standards most of us regulars are with you. If these idiots keep giving you grieve I will send them some of my jokes that will frighten them away LOL timalloy {Ed007's Note - Cheers Tim.}
