Well done gary Caldwell
Always good to see a former player doing well.

30 Apr 2016 21:08:25
With a bit more experience Caldwell could be back at parkhead as our manager?

Give it a few years.

30 Apr 2016 22:10:54
Only if he continues to be successful no point otherwise.

01 May 2016 00:48:44
He was a guy I just couldn't take to. At one point he had a two page interview every other week in the rags and I always remember shuddering with embarrassment at his gammy posing photos and the p#shy drivel he would come out with in his interview's.
Almost but not quite as bad as amoruso when he used to do them. Still remember ripping the piss out of my rangers mates when he did his greasy sauna photo shoot for the record I think it was. What an ego, what a tw@t.

01 May 2016 09:50:39
Fantastic ball to Naka's feet though.

01 May 2016 13:20:11
As a Manager he is obviously doing well, in relative terms. Not for me though.

That said, as a player, he was involved in two of my favourite Celtic moments:

-The last minute win at Celtic Park against Milan.
-The injury time winner from JVH against Rangers.

433 surely border line anarchy!

30 Apr 2016 16:55:45
Interesting stat. Celtic pld 35 pt 80 good +55. Sevco pld 35 pts 80 good +54. Yet the breadman is acclaimed as the new messiah. Makes you wonder.

30 Apr 2016 17:36:34
They have improved this season while we have not.

30 Apr 2016 18:52:12
warburton is a better manager than Delia. Just look at the last game. RD was always out of his depth and the comments that Collins and Kennedy could manage the club just show how little he really understands the club. I think it also blows away the comments from some supporters that Collins and Kennedy were forced upon him. It's clear that he rates them? So all in all it is starting to look more and more obvious that RD wS wY out of his depth.

30 Apr 2016 18:57:59
Sorry again ed I feel relly bad now, (celtic and ronny are great)

30 Apr 2016 19:02:33
Agree with Kev. The football they have watched is far better than the dross we've watched in the main. People still wax lyrical about Tommy Burns' team and they hardly won a thing. The fans will forgive the odd poor result if they're being entertained.

30 Apr 2016 20:29:47
When u are a child Kev, u are easily entertained at football& other places, teens not too bad if someone else is paying, however once u head through the 20's and pay for your own season book, it can be very hard to be entertained .
There is no way any honest impartial observer could describe Warburton's achievements as so vast in comparison to R D.

30 Apr 2016 22:42:46
Ed, i was not trying to be funny or anything when I asked your opinion on warburton as a manager i'm intrested in your thoughts.

{Ed007's Note - I don't have an opinion on him, he's not important enough or knowledgeable enough about football to even be on my radar. I'd have done a better job managing TRIFC this year and wouldn't have needed penalties to beat the five-in-a-row champions of the country. What's your opinion of Mrs Warburton, right now she's far more important to TRIFC than her hubby is, some would even say she's more important to TRIFC than Dave King's £30 million investment.}

01 May 2016 00:01:37
How can people even compare warburton to deila. In Spain do they compare Barcelona to alaves and elche?

Warburton is playing against players who play as a hobby alongside their full time job. people seem to forget. it's not actually comparable.

01 May 2016 10:34:54
Old Bhoy I am a 33 year old father of 4 who has paid for my season ticket since I started work at 16.
I can see with my own eyes that Warburton has improved them this season and Ronny hasn't improved us.
Yes they and the press are going over the top but I can see why they are happy and why we are not.

01 May 2016 22:28:30
So Kev83 u watch Sevco playing part timers . Is this in person or on TV.
Sevco use TV viewing to get more matches shown.

02 May 2016 12:18:58
Strange answer ed but ok, i asked mainly because the football rangers are playing more so in the semi is the kind of football celtic fans want and thought they were going to get under ronny, who from what I've read you rate very highly.

{Ed007's Note - I've no idea what kind of football TRIFC usually play as I don't watch lower league football, if I wanted to watch bus drivers and plumbers play I'll go down the local park, I'm not even sure if i get BBC Alba.
Considering you seem to think you played this brilliant football and we didn't you'd think you would have had us beat long before penalties. We had 33 shots at goal - and that was us playing garbage. Imagine what we'll do when we play better next season, I hardly think TRIFC signing a couple of diddies on a free from Accrington Stanley is giving Peter Lawwell any sleepless nights.}

02 May 2016 14:46:03
Ok ed i'm away to imagine just how good celtic will be next season, you will be hoping better than under ronny, the guy who was dragging your club into modern day forward thinking football (your words) the best manager in scotland (also your words) .

{Ed007's Note - Good to see your keeping up with Scotland's top club while your new team works it's way up the leagues. Ronny Deila has easily proven to the best manager in Scotland these past two seasons, we've got 2 league titles to show for it and the statistics are there to back it up. Robbie Neilson from Hearts has proven over time to be a top young manager and apart from RD is by far the best in Scotland, then there's Derek McInnes who has worked wonders at Aberdeen as has John Hughes at Inverness.
And remember all those men are managing in the top level of Scotland, anything outside that is comparable to amateur level you can see on any public park. For the budget TRIFC have borrowed they should have coasted through that league and yet they have lost more league games than Celtic this year who have played vastly superior opposition week in and week out. How do you explain that?
If Mrs Warburton let's Mark stay and TRIFC make the top six next season that will be seen as a major success. Without major investment your inexperienced players and manager will struggle playing against a better standard of opposition every week - there's no part time teams in the top league. And a 53 year old inexperienced manager at that, he won't know what's hit him next season and if he doesn't get off to a flier there will be calls for him to be sacked.
Between his personal problems and how difficult it's going to be in TRIFCs debut season in the top league I don't see Warburton being here to see us win 6 in a row. I don't think he'll face the humiliation of being sacked from the TRIFC job, it would be a sore one for a 54 year old to have been sacked from the only two jobs he's had in management.
I've seen plenty of TRIFC fans on the live chat questioning the manager's tactics during matches so at least there are some of you looking at things logically. You should maybe have a word with some of them and keep your feet on the ground.}

02 May 2016 15:49:52
Do you watch a lot of accrington games then ed, can you tell me in what way are they diddies, so I can tell some of the boys on our bus, they seem to think they look decent but I don't know if they have seen as much of them as you. you know to a have an opinion on them, cheers.

{Ed007's Note - They're 22/23 and playing in the FOURTH tier of English football - that's the Fourth Division - there's nothing else needs to be said. And seriously mate, well done on trying to get 'ra peepul' on your bus talking about football, that should help cut down on the sectarian and racist singing and chanting. You're doing a good thing there and you should be proud of yourself for trying to educate them, past experience tells me you're pissing in the wind though but good luck.
It must be some bus when you're on a CFC site asking a CFC supporter for his thoughts to share with them - I'll take a wild stab in the dark and say that you're not the brains of this particular operation.
Has your bus looked into what school the Accrington lads went to, you know, the important stuff you all get hung up on?}

02 May 2016 18:10:01
Poor show wee man with the no reply stance you have taken, but any of your usual posters no doubt will look at your last reply and think about how witty and untouchable you are, so you should be proud of yourself you done really good.

{Ed007's Note - I'm not here to take abuse from the likes of you. I was being civil even answering you as I try not to mix with people of your ilk but you had to resort to type so the conversation is now over. I'm bored playing with you for now so it's back in your box for today sadly. I might keep you around as some kind of pet to annoy when the mood takes but I've yet to decide that, I'll mull it over while I have my dinner. You need to work on your manners though, and deal with the scuffs on your knuckles.
That should give you time to phone round the boys from the bus and tell them how raging I've got you today. I'm sure they'll all be as raging as you.
Before I forget I don't want to be seeing any other posts that lead to the likes of this from you:

30 Apr 2016 18:42:44

Ed, sorry for that last post, i can understand why you didnt put it up, i did not think about why that post would upset you or anyone else but after reading it again I get it, sorry again x.

And after your shameless and mortifying grovelling to a stranger on the internet I still gave you a chance and was civil to you. I couldn't care less what anyone thinks of me, especially a total stranger on the internet.
And what the hell was the kiss on the end all about? I'm flattered mate but I'm WAY out of your league even if I did go in for some backdoor shenanigans. Each to their own though and I'm sure you and the boys on your bus are very happy.
I've actually worked up quite a hunger toying with you today, bon appetit. I guess that I really did 'done really good'.}

30 Apr 2016 15:18:14
Delighted for Ronny Regardless of what has been said and done the history books will say he won 2 League Titles during his time with us. Time for the gloating to begin. Home to get the green polo shirt on and meet up with some Leith tims at the Liquid Rooms for the Clone Roses. Champagne time! HH.

{Ed007's Note - Have a blast, Stan, a few of my mates are heading through for that gig.}

30 Apr 2016 15:44:17
Agree. How many managers won 3 league titles in 2 countries by the age of 40? Good luck for the future big man.

30 Apr 2016 15:55:04
Thanks Ed looking forward to it, Had a great night at Noel Gallagher last week at the Hydro. Pretty eventful summer i have the Stone Roses in Dublin and Manchester. Richard Ashcroft in Glasgow next month then Noel and Ashcroft at Bellahouston Park. 3 of my favourites in one summer it doesn't get much better.

Right i better get on with this gloating, there's plenty glum faces in Maroon :-D.

{Ed007's Note - My concerts days are long behind me with these crutches but I'd love to go and see Glasvegas live, everybody else I wanted to see I've seen, like Floyd, The Stones, Lou Reed and The Velevet Underground, Oasis and U2 before they became knobheads.}

30 Apr 2016 16:19:03
I was in Largs last week where the local drama group put on a Gallagher and Lyle themed play. (All the songs were Gallagher and Lyle's) At the end of the show, after the actors had taken their bows. Gallagher and Lyle actually came on and sang. Audience was on its feet.

30 Apr 2016 16:38:59
My cousins wife is good friends with Glasvegas, She does a lot of work with bands and for Ch4. Any gigs you fancy Ed let me know in advance see what i can do especially if there's seating on balcony if you fancied that. Would love to see them myself Secret Truth is a song i play on repeat, as far as debut albums go there's is up there with the best of them.

{Ed007's Note - Mate that would be fantastic and you've no idea how appreciated. I'll definitely be in touch the next time Glasvegas are in Glasgow, you're a true gentleman.}

30 Apr 2016 17:09:11
Glad to help, I'll write a note and get intouch with them next week just to give them a heads up to see what they can do, Easy enough for them to arrange. Hopefully they tour this year.

{Ed007's Note - Here don't think I'm looking for a freebie or that Stan, it's just you've no idea the difficulty in going out to places you take for granted when you're on crutches, even going to the football is a nightmare because of where you need to park unless you get a pass from the Club and they are like gold-dust. Remember the Norwich friendly a couple of years back, a very dear and special friend arranged for two tickets right at the front row whwre my legs could be straight (my leg was in a right mess at the time and I could hardly walk even with crutches) but after the match it took us about two hours to get back to where their car was.
While I'm on a rant, years ago when I first had my accident I was on crutches and casts on both legs but we were playing Rangers and I wasn't going to miss that, my mate's dad ran us in nice and early but after the game the police shut London Road and wouldn't let a taxi through to pick me and two mates up, we eventually had to walk up to get the service bus on Tollcross Road
It's my Mrs 40th in July and I was planning on getting tickets for the WWE at the Hydro for us, we went once before to the NEC in Birmingham and had a VIP package including food etc that Ed001 treated us to. I was hoping to get the same kind of deal but as soon as I mentioned I was on crutches the prices shot up to a second hand car, even seats with just a few stairs to get to were dearer than if I was walking.}

30 Apr 2016 17:38:44
The stones are magic live eh.
Seen them 3 times love them.
Them and celtic are my dad's true loves away fae family.

{Ed007's Note - They're great live but I wouldn't listen to an album, the best band live has to be Pink Floyd, I've seen them a few times and each time they just got better and better.}

30 Apr 2016 17:51:38
Helping a Tim is all it is to me Ed so don't worry. I love Music like you clearly do so if i can help in any way to get you to one of their gigs i will.

{Ed007's Note - Thanks again mate.}

30 Apr 2016 17:58:59
They are never off in my house. My 7 years old and my 3 year old triplets know all the words.
Best bands I have seen are all the oldest.
Stones acdc the quo and the who were all magic live

30 Apr 2016 18:14:49
Gents watch David Gilmour doing Coming Back To Life at The Royal Albert Hall on youtube, That's my favourite live performance.

30 Apr 2016 21:09:39
Sorry to but into your conversation but an old favourite of mine John Martin was absolutely tip top live!

30 Apr 2016 12:50:41
Guys those of you yet who have not been following ED023 tips on the football bats page are missing out, he had FIVE winners yesterday. Don't lose out have a wee look.

{Ed007's Note - There's guys on social media charging for tips that don't have the same success as Ed023.}

30 Apr 2016 13:07:15
How do u go on and check the tips ED?

{Ed007's Note - Here's the link HERE, Beav. Or just copy and paste this URL:

30 Apr 2016 13:27:50
Cheers mate 👍🏻.

{Ed007's Note - I'm not much a gambler mate, I used to stick a £5 on a fixed odds if I was at a game but it's only over the last year or so that I've been putting £2 on a 5 team BTTS acc and £1 on three teams BTTS and a winner on a Saturday is my stretch but it's our duty to tell you to be careful pal. I mean I won £39 last week and put £18 of it back into my bank account lol. I wouldn't be able to sleep at night if I bet £10 on something and it lost, I'm far too miserable to be a gambler like Ed023 and Tim. Oh tell a lie, I did win some money from a horse tip and a golf tip from Ed023 but that was from winnings on my BTTS which is a great bet imo, it can be up at half time and not beat until the final whistle. I pick 5 teams and that usually gives you a minimum of around 20-1 but sometimes it can be better. My other bet can be a hit and miss but I've had a couple up and with the three teams BTTS and winner you can easily get odds of over 100-1, once I had both up on the one night and cleared £178 for my £3 outlay.
I really only do it for an interest as I'm sitting here watching and talking about football all day and I'd have spent a lot more than £3 when I was bevvying.}

30 Apr 2016 13:29:14
Yes ED007 I get pestered by so called "experts" on my mobile all the time, while this site gives FREE (and profitable) tips. ED023 puts a lot of thought into his selections and we are fortuneate to benefit from this.

30 Apr 2016 14:14:33
Agree with your sentiments ED007 always be careful when betting, it's only fun when it is a hobby and not an addiction. But when you win and then you are betting with the bookies money, that is fun.

30 Apr 2016 21:18:40
We have a customer who comes into my shop on a Saturday, he used to give us tips, everytime I put these bets on they never came in, and when I never bet. they'd win. a few weeks bk when there was the Scottish national or whatever its called my mate had his betting account up and we all decided to stick a tenner on a horse, I picked the eventual winner but at the last minute changed my mind and chose another. think it was 18-1 at the time. Think I'll stay off your tips page because I'd definitely jinx the ed's tips.

30 Apr 2016 09:29:13
Hi ED

How's the dietary stuff coming along?

A couple of people I know (PTs and Boxers) are waxing lyrical about Primal BluePrint Diet (and a general ketosis focused diet) . These are supposedly very good from a health and energy PoV - especially in regards to anyone suffering from diabetes. I thought it may be of interest to you.

A friend of mine (he is type 2) is going to try it, so either way I'll let you know how it/ he goes buddy.

{Ed007's Note - It's going terrible mate, if I was a dog I'd happily let them put me down.}

30 Apr 2016 13:44:43
If the diet is for weight loss, a good padlock on fridge works a treat lol.

{Ed007's Note - If only it was that easy buddy. Imagine waking up with the hangover from hell and the flu and you're getting close, and remember I don't even drink any more so I'm not even getting the enjoyment out of that. I could murder a bottle of Tonic right now though lol.}}

30 Apr 2016 14:44:21
Doesnt sound good ed. Been a while since i was on the tonic, i was more a mad dog connoisseur lol.

{Ed007's Note - It's been a few years since any alcohol passed my lips mate.}

01 May 2016 13:24:20
Sorry to hear that ED. I'll see how he gets on and keep you posted. From what I hear it's horrible for the first month (as it's essentially a detox) but does wonders thereafter.

{Ed007's Note - I've took a note of it mate and will mention it to the doc or nurse this week when I'm there, cheers.}

01 May 2016 22:33:55

*************** TEXT DELETED ************

{Ed007's Note - Thanks, Chris but that's something I'd rather not get into on here mate. You can probably guess the explanation from that reply so I hope I haven't offended you and thanks again for your concern.}

30 Apr 2016 09:22:57
Beautiful sunshine in Corstorphine, Nothing better than wearing the Hoops in such a Jambo infested area.

30 Apr 2016 07:20:31
According to a certain newspaper Ronny is suggesting that Collins and Kennedy are good enough to take over from him. He said he has learnt a lot from Collins. To me that sounds like an admission that he himself was never right for the job if an idiot like Collins can teach you stuff!

30 Apr 2016 08:43:40
As it is now well established that RD is a first class dud, how could he possibly think that anyone would seriously consider any recommendation coming from him.

30 Apr 2016 08:59:22
My biggest fear is that all along JC will have been pushing for the manager's job. The club wouldn't do that much to us though surely.

30 Apr 2016 09:45:49
There's is no way in hell John Collins will be the next manager! Lawell would get lynched outside Celtic park if there was even a hint of this happening! RD once again is spouting utter pish! And had done since the day he joined us! Only a few more weeks of listening to it and hopefully we'll have a manager in who knows his arse from his elbow!
