Heard Commons not getting near squad cause he's supposed to have told Lennon he made a big mistake and should have signed for Rangers. Get him out now {Ed007's Note - Garbage, leave the Christmas sherry alone till you gran visits.}

Commons not needed if we keep Forest mate...squad player at best if he can keep his weight in check.
Agree0

LOL, thats a belter of a fib buddy, I think if he did say that to NL that outfit he wore a few weeks back with the neck brace etc would be needed. I don't follow celtic but I could tell you the reason he is not picked appears to be a lack of desire on his part. According to the Derby fans, he has previous for it.

Bhoys and Ghirls as it is Christmas please tell us about a favourite game or player. here are mine...
Year 1968 I was only a boy when my dad took me to my first European game Celtic v Red Star Belgrade.
Big Jock had promised wee Jinky (who was scared of flying) if Celtic won by more than 3 goals he would not have to fly to return game in Belgrade, result wee Jimmy RAN RIOT, scored 2 goals and set up 3 more as Celtic won 5-1.
Year 1979 Celtic v Rangers, if Celtic won they won the league. Roy Aitken led by example and even though we were down 0-1 and had a man sent off (usual "honest mistakes" by referees) he led us to win 4-2 and song was born "10 men won the league"
Year 1989 Rangers were going for the treble and only Celtic stood between them in Scottish cup final.
Roy took a shy that was Rangers shy, ball got played eventually to Joe Millar after mistake by Rangers defence 1-0 Celtic win cup and stop treble.
1989 this game and player may surprise some fans as we went out of europe but what a game it was.
Celtic v Partisan Belgrade, our Polish signing Jackie Jackanowski scored FOUR GOALS as we won 5-4 but went out on away goals.
OK guys lets have your thoughts? Timalloy {Ed007's Note - Tim mate, there is a thread on Arsenal that is right up your street, garbage jokes are required. On their banter at 23 Dec 2011 18:33:28}

My favourite game was my first when I was 10.......the 1976 League Cup Final when we lost 2-1 to Aberdeen at Hampden. The defeat was disappointing but I'll NEVER forget the passion of the Celtic fans and that's why I'll be a fan 'tiil I die! HAIL HAIL!

That's a good one where does he stay a will personally go to his door and ask him to put this bet on am no halfing the bet ether if i win
campbell {Ed007's Note - You walked into that one, I couldn't resist. I think he is staying at Murray Park till he can save up enough for a deposit on a house, paying his compensation wiped him out ;-)

At least he is a true blue he will prove that on wedensday

I think I might have a look at the odds for the first red card.
The Real KB

And who can blame him
campbell {Ed007's Note - Would he dare go down so 'easily' after the last time? It would be a brave referee to award him a penalty IMO. In saying that Smeagol Gollum doesn't need to see anything to give one!!}
Agree0
Disagree0
Alright real KB your propabley better putting a celtic player on for a red card at the end of the day they never stop moaning about refs
campbell {Ed007's Note - Where as Rangers just take the huff and scream conspiracy at the SFA/SPL/BBC and journos who write things they don't agree with in the rags up here KB. If it's good news they believe it but bad news is always made up nonsense.}
Agree0

Hey campbell, I wished all your bears a merry christmas and everyone is pressing "disagree" cannot think what I have done to upset the poor sensitive souls LOL Timalloy
PS put a tenner on big Sammy scoring just have a feeling
Agree0
Disagree5
Well he did go down quite easily but he did say because he was going at full speed it was hard for him to slow down and i know there was very little contact but anyway i don't like this new rule that a panel can say over rule what the ref says at the end of the day if this new panel things just gonna change everything the ref says there is no point in having a referee because no matter what he says the panel will just take the power of making decisions
campbell {Ed007's Note - I agree mate, it means that you don't actually know what is happening till the during the week after games.}

Haven't always been a big fan of Forster but he's done no bad of late & he is still on loan..NL's a fan though, can you see him signing permanently ? Would love to see the whole GK situation resolved. Mrs E {Ed007's Note - The deal has been agreed for Forster so it will be up to NL next summer if he wants to sign him or look elsewhere. I am not a fan of loaning GKs, a club like CFC should have a recognised No.1.}

Merry Xmas to all who celebrate it -
May the best team win on the 28th (and the other blame the Ref..lol) My Father used to say that when your team lost in an old firm game, it felt like a trip to the dentist - first the numbness, followed by the pain but a few days later it was all forgotten about. Thats how it should be !

Ed whats the deal with commons? I think a fit and on form commons is a great weapon to have ( although we haven't seen that from him this season )
You seem to have made your mind up about him and I would love to lnow why. Im not saying your wrong, far from it I believe everyone is entitled to their opinion which your site gives us the media in which to voice them, I would just like to understand why your are set against him getting a chance.
JGD {Ed007's Note - Since the end of last season he hasn't exactly applied himself to get in the team and hold down a place. He isn't injured so you have to ask why he isn't in the squad.}

ED007 what is your thoughts on Izziguirre playing against Rangers? I think it might be too soon to pitch him into such a high tempo game we will need him for games in New Year so I hope they use him sensibly.
I hope if K Wilson and Ledley are fit they play tomorrow to give them game time before Wednesday as those two will give us more options. Hail hail Timalloy {Ed007's Note - I doubt that Izaguirre will start in the derby match Tim, but stranger things have happened. It depends if he appears tomorrow I think. Wilson and Ledley should feature at some point tomorrow, if he is fit I expect Wilson to start.}

Our defence has been good of late but we all know it is our achilles heel over the course of a season. So seeing as there is turmoil among the Jambos why dont we look at Zaliuskas? He's proven in the SPL and could do us a turn.

Great on his day but very error prone...don't know if having a CB that can cost you a game is worth it as we have 2 or 3 of those already. We need to look further afield than the SPL for the required CB as in truth none of the ones on show are good enough.

It wasn't that long ago we had 6 wide players fighting for the wide berths. Forrest, maloney, lumberg, mcginn, mcourt, commons. Now all we have is forrest, and mcourt and commons who are always injured. Just my opinion but maybe that's an area we could be doing with strenghtening. I know samaras has been doing well on the left but how long will that last? Markiebhoy.
Believable1
Unbelievable0
Was only talking about this very same thing last weekend. Forrest is having a 'purple patch' now but I think we are depending on him too much for a youngster and worry he will 'burn out'.
Commons, I reckon is on his way out of Paradise and McCourt is either injured or is cast as a bench warmer by NL.
We seem to be linked to several strikers although we have a fair quota?
Templeton of Hearts or Snodgrass at Leeds may be an option if we can't recall McGinn (who NL does not seem keen on).
Lets hope we get a couple of Gems in Jan to boost the squad and the support.
