its time u lot realised the cup to win is the ramsdens cup

Believable6 Unbelievable6

So I guess that means yous will be spending out 10times more then anyone else and go into liq once again. Rangers liquidated then rangers liquidated now rangers no more! Lol

Agree5 Disagree2

Would that be the Harry Ramsdens Fish Supper Cup with extra salt and vinegar for the winners?
To be honest l think we're much happier dining on caviar at the top table of the Champions League.
Enjoy your greasy spoon season in D3!

Hail Hail

Dose anybody else think its funny that Ramsdens is a pawnbroker, as The R***ers will probably have to pawn the cup to pay the wages

just finished watching the game and delighted with the result if not the performance. However, I can't help but think about the Ki situation. Although there has been no official statements it seems the bid accepted from Swansea is approx. £5mill. I can't wrap my head around this as earlier in the window we were rejecting bids of £7mill plus for him?

Believable2 Unbelievable3

It was a £6mil bid that was rejected and it was made up of different payments!
Swansea or whoever else tries to sign ki will be paying more up front plus add ons!

Agree0 Disagree1

21 Aug 2012 22:20:30
Happy enough with that. First half could have went either way big Fraser just payed back his transfer fee with those saves. They are no mugs, still a job to do in the home leg but got to the fancy the bhoys for the group stage now. Need a CB and CF to make any impression on the competition and a creative midfielder would be nice too. But glad I got up at 4.30am to watch that was well worth it. Hail Hail

Great result tonight despite a few shaky performances. I'm pretty sure that we can see the tie out at home as Helsingborgs will require +3 goals to go through. Take a gamble Mr Lawell and release some funds for a much needed CB and a big CF. Well done the bhoys, so proud of the performance and the determination to get through this leg unscathed. 100% concentration is now required for ICT on Saturday! Hail Hail

As far as i'm concerned, job done, there is no way they will score 3 at Paradise, infact it'll be more, cos we WILL score at least 1. PL, time to get the check book out.

21 Aug 2012 21:57:13
Got to say well done to the team tonight, great result from a performance that was a bit indifferent but good at times. This is not the time to criticise but we do desperately need a big experienced centre half, our defence was pulled all over the place and had it not been for big Foster it might all have been different. Emilio and Hooper didn't have their best nights but Commons has been a revelation.

All in all well done to the lot of them as a team. 2 Euro victories away from home when the chips were down, maybe that'll shut a few people up eh !

We got the result but we all know we could have played a lot better, bit slack in the first half after the first ten minutes forster made a few good saves i thought our midfield were pressing too high up and leaving the defence on its own but after half time we seemed to have tightened up a bit, happy to see us gettin 2 european away wins in a row, well done bhoys!

Want to say well done to Fraser foster!looked a real class act tonight,iv been critical of him in the past but Ill hold my hands up,quality against udinese and Rennes and tonight!think he will be vital for us in group stages all going well second leg!well done bhoys!

All the doom and gloom about sat it was all about today, brilliant second half performance and good start. They were walking through that defence in first half. If we get through I would be happy with a solid centre half. What's your thoughts tonight ed? Cmac. {Ed007's Note - A 2-0 away win against anyone in Europe is a fantastic result Cmac.}

green jedi you sent to posts slaughterin celtic and how bad there playin are you forgetting how bad we were away from home in europe. anyway well done celtic tonight that all buts secures our place in the group stages which am led to believe nets us between 10-15m lets hope that can be enough to keep the players we have and maybe add one or two. in lennon we trust. mikeybhoy27

Believable3 Unbelievable0

Hardly slaughtering mate.We were coughing the ball up for about 15 mins and letting them have 2-3 runners on our back four.More of a concentration problem i thought,after we scored all we gad to do was play passes and run them out,we didnt need to have 5-6 players around their box attacking.Second half was MUCH better and we were a bit more comfortable.Remember in the CL teams slaughter you for mistakes. Very happy though all in all.............green jhedi

Agree3 Disagree0

But you just felt they would never score, they were poor in last 3rd. I thought tactics were good tonight, but a good euro team would prob have scored against us, and they are half way through the season were just beginning, hail hail. jj

21 Aug 2012 21:41:21
Good result but team not up to speed yet. Hooper posted missing .
We defo need another striker. JK

Believable4 Unbelievable3

"Hooper posted missing?" Were you watching the game? The lad ran himself into the ground, coming deep to link the play as he was getting no service from his midfield and when he did get forward and used his body the ref gave a foul! Strikers need service and he got none but played well.

Agree4 Disagree2

Yes we need another striker but hooper posted missing, makes me laugh we play 1 up front the guy works the line for us and samaras gets the credit for al but putting us through

Agree3 Disagree2

Hooper ran his heart out and the second goal came from his strength and running to nwin the corner by himself

Agree1 Disagree0

21 Aug 2012 21:38:03
Fraser Foster absolute amazing kept us in it and was commanding after every set piece, and made some vital saves.

Hail Hail

Cumby Bhoy

Believable5 Unbelievable0

I hope when epl or other clubs come calling for him that he keeps his head about him and pays us back so as not to have his head turned. Celtic and more so Lennon had faith and told him what could happen if he plays for us, hope he stays for a long time. I have always liked him for us and can't believe no other team wanted him, he might turn out to be Lennons best signing given a golie position is very important.

21 Aug 2012 20:57:47
this is bad folks, kayal , samaras, commons cannot run or track back. Brown has lost it, if he even ever had it. Been watching posts all week and the consensus is a ch and cf is needed. Think a driving midfielder with a good touch and a desire to play for a big club is what is needed. Against a better side, we'd be staring at Europa League already.

Believable0 Unbelievable9

Are you seriously giving Commons stick for his performance tonight mate ??

Good of you not to leave a name to that pathetic post!
end of day a 0-2 score in CL is a great result. how many times over the last 10 years+ has incidents/results gone against us so for once we got lucky.
Get a grip unless of course your a troll who's enjoying the ramsdens tonite. Stevo Dundee

Brown makes the team tic, playing thro pain barrier to add bit of bite, would have him 1 st pick every week,

Ska bhoy

Agree5 Disagree0

Amusing post, youve been watching too much 3rd div football. Helsingborgs are well into their season and have caused all sorts of problems to teams in recent years. Celts looked a bit short of fitness in comparison but once they got a grip of the tactics looked far superior. Nobody is going overboard but neil has put together a very promising young side. What à season to look forward to.

The sale of KI to the Swans reminds me of a desperate person taking a
valuable to the local pawn shop and taking its lowest possible value. The
bid for Ki is an insult and should not be entertained. Its time to stand up
to the mighty EPL.

Believable8 Unbelievable1

That's if the money quoted is accurate and there is add ons etc,English clubs know the situation with the zombies and see us as easy pickings,if the player is worth a certain amount and the buying club dont meet the asking price then send a message down south NO CHEAP DEALS keep the talent

Green Judge

Agree5 Disagree0

Ed was saying on another thread fee is 6.3 mill and another 1.2 in add ons and 15% sell on clause so 7.5 and possibly a few more if he gets a big move that i think he will not too bad but think we could get more for him i would actually prefer to keep him myself and build the team round him

Rangers fan, I come in peace. Wish you all the best tonight, I know a lot of other teams supporters will want you to fail but for the sake of Scottish football I hope you can qualify.
Let's get back to the days when both of our teams can get into the CL every season and give the big teams a game. The only way to be able to do this is for our teams to qualify for Europe ( when Gers are allowed back in of course ) as much as possible, attract better players, incrase the rankings and get back to where both our teams should be.

bleacher report says celtic are 2nd best fans in the world, we could argue that point.. we have fair play awards from fifa and uefa , the two biggest football authorities on the planet.. we took 80,000 to seville and not one arrest.. sevco and their dead relatives still claim to be the best.. they have caused riots in glasgow, bucharest,newcastle,barcelona, birmingham and of course manchester.. what is it in their genes that makes them think they are better fans than us.. must be the same gene that responds to green mcoist crap.. shamrock

I am still of the opinion that we need to find a better goalkeeper. Zaluska
is better than Foster in my eyes but he he hasnt really been given a chance to prove himself. JK

Believable3 Unbelievable13

He's had ample chances and while a good Goalkeeper, I'm not convinced he is number one material for a Club of Celtic's size.

At Dundee United he was, arguably, the best Goalkeeper in the country - but his ability isn't in doubt. What is in doubt, is his ability to step up and be anonymous for 85 minutes of the game - but come up trumps when called upon and to me, personally, he isn't.

As I said, he's had chances to do this - and when Artur Boruc left, it was his position to lose, which he has.

And in regards to Forster, I think he has done exactly what's been asked of him. Is he the finished article? No. What he is however, is a fine Goalkeeper with a long future ahead of him - a Goalkeeper who, in his short time, has progressed considerably and for the last 18 months has been up there with Mulgrew and Ledley as Celtic's most consistent performer.

The Patient

Agree7 Disagree1

Foster still flounders at times

Agree4 Disagree1

All keepers are prone to a error or two. at first i thought celtic was too big for him as he was outstanding at norwich but i think hes grown into the role and will get better with age............bhoywonder

Agree2 Disagree3

Good looking selection linnie. but i think you should try to find a place for commons he scored against the dons and ross county. and not many are doing that this season, so far.. shamrock

Agree2 Disagree2

Would not play Forrest tonight. He is not fit and is not a great outlet. Commons is a good shout for a start but I don't know who I would drop.

Scoring tonight would be fantastic but it is not the end of the world if we don't. Just as long as we don't concede more than 2 goals.

It is best to keep a clean sheet then pump then at Paradise!

Linnie88

Agree1 Disagree1

My team for tonight.
Forster
Matthews Lustig Rogne Izzy
Brown kayal Ledley Sammi
Commons
Hooper
I think that theres a bit of balance there.Also depending on how the games panning out there is lots of scope for shuffling the midfield to introduce forrest and McCourt if we need to go higher up the pitch.Please Lenny,tell hooper to play on their last men,we dont need our striker dropping deep with three midfielders who can dig,and sammi as our outball............green jhedi

Agree1 Disagree1

Forster
Mathews Rogne Mulgrew Izzaguire
Kayal
Commons Brown Ledley Samaras
Hooper

No Mulgrew GJ?

Mikey Bhoy

Agree0 Disagree0

I agree Jhedi, I have no idea why Hooper thinks he has to play in the hole. He is not good enough for that, get him in the box and he will score.

I think we may shock this team tonight.

Ive seen alot of rumours saying on the rangers rumours page this and that, why go on our rivals rumours page? no wonder they say that we secretly love their club with all yous secrely looking at all their news and gossip its terrible the way yous are acting, its like you are more botherd with rangers than your own team, Ed you need to post this for our sake we are looking like secret rangers lovers. post this mate so our fellow bhoys can see and have a reality check.

Not saying we are doing this to do pay back or something but it is banter and it seems that when things are good for them and bad for us they are on here going crazy once you and your fans get a little banter back it is everyone is against us, go to your page, you are a servco fan.

I cannot see how this can be allowed.Liquidation law is very strict on this.Remember Woolworths?

I don't have a clue mate. ed do you have any idea about the time scale of this, ie stripping of titles and op's question.. shamrock {Ed007's Note - BDO can not take control and start the liquidation process until the court enquiry over D&P is completed.

If Mr Lawwell reduces ticket prices then he will be doing every season ticket holder out of money as it would be cheaper to buy game by game tickets.

Celtic fans are fed up listening to peter Lawwell talk up everything at the end of the season about how our future is looking good and how we are the Celtic family and we have to stick together and buy season books .
Then when he collect the season book money he comes out with oh well are in financial difficulties and have to service dept . We have off loaded over 100 k on our weekly wage and made no signings Forster excluded as the sale of hooijveld covered that. I'm sick of the same thing every season . I have 4 season books in my house 2 up from last year but now I think why waiste my money as I scrape by with installments each month to line some fat cats pockets.
