Hi all just something of the top of my head I hope RD stays with us for a long time and I hope the board back him as much as they can We as a club in my opinion have come a long way since the start of the season looking forward to maybe 2 years down the line if RD is still hear and the board back him

28 Feb 2015 22:02:58
Totally agree! He has took celtic to a new level! Had my doubts at the start of the season but he has since won me over! Bigc79

I have no doubt the board will back Deila as much as they think is wise . I also have no doubt that the board won't back Deila enough to suit many fans on Celtic forums but the key thing I believe is that the board and Deila sing off the same hymn sheet.

01 Mar 2015 14:35:26
The good thing about Deila is he does not need a lot of cash to build a good team. I am also optimistic that we will now see more of our young players coming through into the first team. I know Deila goes to watch our development squad play when he can and that he works with the development coaches, which bodes well for our future in my opinion.

What we need to do is to spot young talent early from across the continent, sign them and let Ronny and the coaches work their magic in developing them into top players.

Yes Rab Mac A very good sensible post .

Just reading that the superstar who is Islam feruz is getting sent back to chelsea from Blackpool after the grand total of 16 min playin time!! On Twitter slagging the team during the week! this boy really is a half wit by the way! Couple of years and he'll be lucky to still be in football! The great TB would be so proud! Idiot of a boy! Actually staggering the level of arrogance from someone who's barely kicked a ball in a 1st team!

28 Feb 2015 21:21:19
To be honest I have always thought he was overrated.

01 Mar 2015 00:16:54
It happens the vast majority of these super 14/15 year old players . When they seem to have the football world at their feet they seem capable of throwing it all away .

01 Mar 2015 01:43:32
I think Tommy not being here annoys us more than Islam if we are honest. Players leave the club that developed them all the time. How many hibs, Utd and other clubs players have we signed. And how do they feel about us. Islam had his head turned by agents he wasn't the first and won't be the last. I'm not bitter about it . Celtic have developed players of all ages for decades some move and progress others move on and flop. But with Islam it's personal. Why? Simple because the man who looked after him and his family was taken to soon. That's not islams fault. And if he is a flop after leaving celtic the last thing Tommy would want is for us all to snigger at the boy because Tommy had more class than that.

01 Mar 2015 09:27:32
Garybhoy1888 I don't even think Tommy would want us to snigger at Feruz. Tommy was a total gent and I doubt he would of let situation get to him mate. It is justice though lol

01 Mar 2015 10:37:35
You must have mis read my post dn. I said Tommy would not want us to snigger at the boy because Tommy had more class than that. I also said the situation doesn't bother me in the slightest. Not in those words but it doesn't. I just think it's personal with this boy because of what happened to Tommy. I know we are both making the same point mate just thought I'd clarify what I said as you've maybe mis read it. All the best Hail hail

01 Mar 2015 10:53:48
Apologies Gary I think I did misread post mate. Still too early in morning for me lol

01 Mar 2015 10:58:52
No probs mate.

01 Mar 2015 19:03:04
I think Tommy Burns not being here saddens most supporters rather than annoys

Hi Bhoys and Mrs E

I hope after our victory on Sunday, we can put an end to this Aberdeen challenge the media are trying to hype up. Of course they have done tremendously well but when push comes to shove they have not been able to take a point of us at all.

We are looking like a really good unit now and after the Inter game on Thursday the players and manager deserve out utmost respect. I totally loved the Kris Commons reaction at the end of the game towards the ref.

I wanted to also point out that earlier this year there was noises for Jackie McNamara to replace RD. Just curious on what people's thoughts are now given that United have completely crumbled.

Final point, apologies to Ed and anyone else offended by my naïve post about the relevance of Joe Beltrami to Celtic. Didn't set out to offend or upset anyone, guess I don't know as much about Celtic as I thought.

{Ed007's Note - No need to apologise to me, Kev, forget about it.}

28 Feb 2015 18:14:04
Fine post. Doubling down on the remark about Commons: he was livid and rightly so. Shame the ref was such a wee boy in the face of criticism.

28 Feb 2015 18:57:42
Jackie Mac has lost quite a few of his best players over the past few seasons, I hope he can rebuild. Suppose it's down to Jackie that his players have been attracting interest (I'm just kinda saying and not meaning he could replace Ronny or anything like that)

Quite nervous about tomorrow, probably a good thing. Just all this anticipation and really wanting a win. Let's face it, last season when we dropped points most of us weren't to fussed.

If there are any positives from Thursday it's VVD didn't play 90 mins nor did GMS, I would have like Lustig in the team but hey ho :-(

28 Feb 2015 19:34:02
Kev T it takes a big man to apologise so thank you for that, my point was not about yourself but about people disagreeing to the sentiments of paying respects to a person who had died, even if he had been the biggest Sevco fan he still deserved respect in his passing.

28 Feb 2015 20:37:01
There are many positives to be taken from Thursday's match and I wouldn't regard Virgil getting sent off and neither he nor GMS playing the whole match as positives . The fact we had to play almost an hour with only ten men was a major negative and definitely very bad preparation for Sunday's game .

28 Feb 2015 21:33:09
Goodness me Chris, that isn't what I mean!

I'd much rather they played the 90 mins as well. Just meant if there's anything that can be taken from the bad situation of the sending off, that was all.

01 Mar 2015 00:20:24
Aye but they getting a almost an hour of a break will almost certainly help them, you are right about that bit. However the cost of are other 8. Outfield players been run off their feet by Inter will more than undo the benefit of two rested .

01 Mar 2015 02:31:04
Kevin, it's a banter page and if we all had the same knowledge and options it would be pretty boring. I love seeing the various comments and opinions here. Some I agree and some (imo) are just dumb. What I do get is a lot of insight from people here who have more knowledge and insight into some subjects. I learned so much about EBT's admin, liquidation, share rules etc. during the demise of the club across the city. The Eds do their bit by keeping some sanity (and legal) control while keeping the banter flowing. Hail Hail

{Ed007's Note - Cheers for that.}

28 Feb 2015 14:24:34
Rite my fellow tims Iv been banging in all year about Two things. RD will get things right and end up being a very good manager for Celtic. Celtic are a very fit team, fitter than most thought Europe. What do you all think of these points. Hail Hail

28 Feb 2015 16:48:04
Spot on with analysis mate. Really enjoying watching celtic at the moment and things will only get better.

Hopefully a few new faces in summer

{Ed007's Note - I've not spoken to one single supporter in the last few weeks that isn't enjoying watching CFC. The general feeling around the club just now is fantastic and hopefully people will start going back to games and cheer the team onto the treble.}

28 Feb 2015 18:52:25
I said months ago that what Ronny was trying to do takes time and it would be at least 6 months before we saw it start to bear fruit.

It takes time for players to improve fitness to the level required and also takes players time to be able to pass and control the ball at pace. Obviously we are far from the finished article but we can now all see things starting to take shape.

Really pleased for Ronny & his coaching team as they deserve credit for their hard work. Hopefully now the doubters will get behind him and the team.

28 Feb 2015 19:31:42
Really looking forward to tomorrow, pick up my new car first thing then heading to paradise to watch the Celtic!

{Ed007's Note - Watch yer motor mister?}

28 Feb 2015 20:37:24
Few people have been saying that Ed007, I'll need to have a wee think about the best spot.

{Ed007's Note - Get in early enough park at the CSA and nip in and see the new artwork on the walls, you won't recognise the old place.}

28 Feb 2015 20:42:35
I am not sure the improved form and better football will bring many extra fans on a regular basis to our home matches . Many fans have far to travel and it takes a day
I.e. 23 hours or more in travelling . Travelling, meal and drinks costs are proving too expensive for many .

28 Feb 2015 22:06:25
StB, I park across the road from the Social Club just at the closes and never had any bother night or day *touch wood*

28 Feb 2015 23:02:00
@ed your right mate. Its great that everyone is on same boat, backing Deila and the new bhoys Armstrong and GMS have settled in well.

It will be interesting to see who arrives in the summer

28 Feb 2015 09:29:08
Ed new layout, is celtic rumours available to download as a mobile app?

{Ed001's Note - not yet mate, the intention is to make apps for the sites in the future, but everyone who has said they will do so for us has let us down so far. One day though!}

28 Feb 2015 10:37:57
Ed, has there been a problem with mobiles recently, a lot my posts go missing.

{Ed033's Note - It appears that at least some of your sent in posts get deleted possibly for you using a lot of text speech. It may take you an extra minute or two to spell out a post using whole words but your sent in text may get posted.

28 Feb 2015 11:14:13
