On holiday over in Boston just in the NB shop Liverpool tops a plenty no sign of celtic stuff anywhere. Thot the reason for going with NB was to sell tops in America.

On the subject of tops are there any dates images kicking about fir the change tops
Dying to see how they get pink into the Celtic top.

23 May 2016 09:32:27
I think the pink top is completely pink buddy with a grey/ black crest.

After reading the story you were talking about a while ago ed and I know it's not going to happen but reading the story about Gerrard for assistant there. What a laugh that would be and a big fat boot in the b**ls to commons

Sorry if it's been posted but the sites been crazy to keep up with as past couple days

HH to all and welcome all the new posters.

{Ed007's Note - I know mate, surely Gerrard will get a team to play for in the EPL. It would be a sad day for me if he ended up at Celtic in any capacity.}

23 May 2016 04:33:18
Why would it be sad?, it be a major coup in my eyes?, if you mean for the player exclude money who's bigger?

{Ed007's - It would be sad because I wouldn't be happy.}

23 May 2016 08:44:03
It's sad cause he ain't no Roy Keane ( ed's hero ) one of the greatest midfielders ever Keane v viera now that was a mid field battle.

23 May 2016 11:43:07
It's sad because he's done as a player as was
Keane who I loved, plus there's the money he'd
be on not for a coach not for me.

@DN30 and the other punters on here, I hope you went and checked out ED023 tips today he had a couple of winners and 2 placed horses.
Also one of the tipsters I told you about on the oddschecker website tipped up Jet Setting which won at 11/ 1 (it opened up at 20/ 1) One of the other guys also tipped 2 nice priced horses also.
it really is worth checking these guys out.

What are the IFAB board playing at with this red card rule change? Surely that will just generate further inconsistency?

22 May 2016 19:18:32
What's the changes?

23 May 2016 10:53:02
That's from the beeb marco. I haven't seen it in writing but am assuming it will be the SFA too.

23 May 2016 10:52:18
Players who commit a foul to deny a goalscoring opportunity will no longer automatically be sent off, football's rule-making body has confirmed.

The previous 'triple-punishment' rule required a red card - and therefore a suspension - as well as the award of a penalty under those circumstances.

However, players committing accidental fouls that deny a goalscoring chance will now be cautioned instead.

But deliberate fouls will still incur a red card.

Those include holding, pulling or pushing, not playing the ball, serious foul play, violent conduct or deliberate handball in order to deny a goalscoring opportunity.

The change has been ratified by the International Football Association Board (IFAB) - a body made up of the four British football associations and Fifa - which decides on changes to the Laws of the Game.

Looking at the bigger picture it looks like our defeat to TRFC is the best thing that could have happened to us. The triumphalist antics of the Directors of TRFC at Hampden on that day i'm led to believe severely pissed off DD . Wonder what would of happened if we had won the game fairly comfortably? Would we of just continued onto next season with the same management team with the cracks papered over. Now it looks like thanks to their loud mouthed direcors DD is going to be throwing a bit of his loose change at us. Lesson learned Sevco never piss off a billionaire.

22 May 2016 16:16:53
Don't u know they have there own billionaire in Dave king Stevie? Or was it craigy White who was the billionaire, I get confused hahaha! Let there half wit directors jump about and celebrate the petrofact cup and a 2nd tier championship! Makes it all the sweeter next season when Brendan puts the 'Manager of the year' in his place! That's if he's still he here that is, because according to some of there fans yesterday's pitch invasion will make him high tail back down south! Haha. Looks like the exuses are starting already eh lol.

22 May 2016 18:20:21
Stevie, I think u are right D D got completely sickened.
I think we should give the MSSM a round of applause for their non stop criticising of R D and at the same time landed non stop praise on Golden bhoy Warbs . The media must be well pleased with themselves initiating the end of R D and now getting us Brendan Rodgers.

22 May 2016 19:15:03
Stevie the sevco fans or board don't know what a billionaire is. Let's not try to confuse them OK lol.

22 May 2016 20:37:00
I could just picture the scenario that day with DD having to share oxygen with a room full of jubilant bigotted inbreds who he could buy and sell a thousand times over and saying this isn't going to happen again not on my watch anyway.

23 May 2016 12:33:03
Took DD long enough to do anything so steady with any praise for the man.

22 May 2016 12:24:59
Afternoon Ed, Just wondering since you are on a roll and know everything else do you know a good hernia Doctor? :-0

If the Killie Gers get beat the day mate my sides will not be able to take anymore this weekend bud

Welsbhoy and wee pat probably needed directed to a liver doctor to dilute there bucky intake as well :-P

Just glad I don't drink (y)

{Ed007's Note - I'd love to see Killie going down - and staying down for years.}

22 May 2016 14:51:17
If they go down they'll really struggle. Dundee United and Hibs would be the 2 favourites there. Fingers crossed, hate them!

22 May 2016 14:59:45

22 May 2016 15:26:59
Same here ed they won't be missed either. Shitty club and worse fans. Am aff the bucky for a while after yesterday, what a way to end the season. Had a cup final coupon on n got let down by palace but don't even care. Too high to let it bother me.

22 May 2016 19:08:28
Ed, why would you like to see Killie go down? Am I missing something.

{Ed007's Note - Have you been to Kilmarnock?}

22 May 2016 11:51:20
Been away from Celtic park for around 4 years due to work and my youngest being born . I'd really like to get back so registered my interest in a season book . was wondering if any1 knows if it's possible for me and my work mate (who is in same boat ) to get seats next to each other and how we'd go about that if indeed we did get selected for a book . thanks in advance
Hail hail.

22 May 2016 12:40:22
Cha, best to go into the ticket office and they should sort it out for both of you.

22 May 2016 13:01:36
Cheers bb . I'm starting to get excited at the thought of going to games again . ill probes crash back down to earth when I get knocked back haha . took me long enough to persuade the Mrs that I needed 1 now if I'm going to start taking the wee man soon
Hail hail.

22 May 2016 15:47:45
Not any chance you'll get knocked back Cha, have you seen that big Club like no other flag that covers the top tier of the Lisbon lions stand? I'm sure there's a spare seat or 2 underneath it.

22 May 2016 17:02:02
Lol suppose your right bud.

22 May 2016 09:57:28
If we could sign any 3 realistic players guys who would you go for?
Mines would be

Skyrtl
Elyonussi excuse the spelling
Janko

Think all these would be realistic targets and strengthen what we have.

Lose the following bailly ambrose izaguiire Blackett boyata biton brown commons Forrest McKay Stevens Allan Cole Richards

Keep Gordon fasan tierney mulgrew simunovic sviatchenko lustig Armstrong johansson roberts macregor rogic Christie griffiths buy the 3 suggest plus 2 more.

22 May 2016 10:25:08
Hakim Ziyech
Eran Zahavi
Brandon Mechele.

22 May 2016 10:34:39
I would like us to sign a top keeper, centre back and a couple of varied forwards.
Add Stokes and Janko to the 'exit' list, but keep GMS as he is a good squad player.
Simunovic has not played nearly enough games to prove himself and his long injury absences worry me, so I would keep Mulgrew until we know where we are with him?
There was talk of Lustig moving on and although he came onto a game at the end of the season, he was inconsistent and found-out a few times in big games.
So I understand why we're looking to sign the Chelsea lad.
Johansen is another guy who had a mixed season and was not the player he was in the previous term, but on his game he is excellent, but I don't know if he wants to stay?
BR will have a short-list of people he will want to add and with the bulk of the team that beat 'Well with Henderson and Fisher to come back, we should be good to go.

22 May 2016 10:37:28
Sell our 2 starting CM's and don't even sign one? You've been drinking a bit too much!

22 May 2016 11:02:35
Can't nail down just 3.

GK- Either Mandanda on a bosman or Kapino from Olympiacos who is a good young keeper not getting game time.

Elyounoussi

Ron Vlaar on a bosman

Jurgen Locadia

If we sell Bitton or Johansen then Tony Vilhena also on a bosman.

LM67 giod shouts there, reported interest in all 3 too. Ziyech might have better offers but I'd ve delighted with either him or Zahavi to compete with Rogic.

22 May 2016 11:10:15
Agree with most to leave would keep Brown for the same reasons as Mulgrew and give GMS a chance to improve.
In if we could get them
Marshall
Paterson
Jonssen
Badstuber
Vaulks
Macnair
Grosskruz
Dyer
A spare LB and a quality CF o for a Henrick.

22 May 2016 11:42:07
Yusuf Poulson.
Eyounoussi.
Bring back Denayer - because Man City are going to spend big.

Also, I'd look at Bayern and see who is available for loan. With Sanches and Hummels coming in, and Ancelotti still to arrive, there could be some interesting players available.

22 May 2016 12:25:16
Denayer would be a great shout if he becomes available, either on loan or permanently. Would really suit Rodgers style and has a bit more pace than Jozo and big Erik.

22 May 2016 12:36:50
Still plugging Poulsen there PP. He does look a talent. Denayer back is a great shout too. We should be getting in touch with all the top sides seeing who is surplus to requirements. An experienced CB with pedigree is a must for me.

22 May 2016 13:11:07
Ha, absolutely Jim!

I think he's great-in relative terms- and would suit the style BR employed at Liverpool with his system shifting between 1, 2 and 3 forwards. He's mobile, works his socks off, has height, scores goals, can play wide it centrally, with a partner or up top on His own. Funny thing is, I've championed him for season or two and RBL have been promoted so he may be out of our reach now.

Denayer and Svia, with as you say an experienced head, would be ideal - especially as BR shifts to 3 on occasion. I'll stick my head on the block and say that if Lustig was shifted to a centre back (as part of 3) and utilised sparingly when we Play with 2 (assuming we bring in a Denayer or someone of that ilk) , we may already have that experienced cb.

I don't know much about the boy from Chelsea but we do need an RB.

22 May 2016 17:02:46
Same reasons/ qualities I said Locadia. The modern forward. But Poulsen looks that bit more dynamic and tricky actually. Think he'd cost a fair bit more now as you say, but Pistol Pete is still looking for that £8m forward.
