when our defence is such a shambles why dont we call back hoosvelt (spelling not right ) he has been brilliant with couple of man of the matches and scoring aswell.we need to find the hunger again. if players dont play for jersey then give others chance even if it means droping regulars.we definitely miss chris commons, hopefully whatever has happened with him and lennon can be sorted out and get him back out there scoring goals and give team the lift they need

A Celtic supporting family were out shopping and ended up in a sports shop. Little Shaun suddenly puts on a Rangers shirt and says to his sister 'Look, I'm a Rangers fan!' His sister slaps him across the face and orders him to show their mum.

He wanders over to his mum and says Ma look, 'I'm a Rangers fan' His mother also slaps him across the face and orders him to show his dad. He finds his dad and say's 'Da', da', I'm a Rangers fan' His dad looks at him and them he also slaps him across the face.

On their way home in the car the family turn to him and say 'Well we hope you've learned something today' To which little Shaun replies 'Yeah, I've only been a Rangers fan for twenty minutes and I already hate you Celtic b**tards!'

why dont celtic bring in billy mcneil above lenny he has been there done and knows what celtic is all about

Lennon has had all the ears of all the celtic greats over the years. Because you played for celtic shouldnt give you preference above anybody when it comes to being appointed a position at parkhead, thats why the club is in this mess. In the last 30 years give me the names of succesful ex players that have had major success

Billy mcneil won the double 87/88 in the centenary year when rangers had triple the spending power!! what do you want to hear mate ??

I'm not sure the best way to put this but I happened to be at a celtic function do a month or so ago which a few of the players and some lisbon lions were at. It was a great night out and I loved every minute of it, I also had the chance to speak to Billy for a bit. He's still a great guy and a Celtic Legend that's fact but after talking to him it's pretty obvious that he's getting old (not to be disrespectful in any way at all). I don't think this would be a good move bhoys there is defo more suitable people out there. Billy Mcneil you are a living legend who will always be the first captain to lift the Euro Cup and no one can ever take that away from you!

Just now even with a fully fit squad we are not the club we would like to be. The board are fudging all the issues, the mgt team are not up to it and the players are on a par with motherwell this season

Bud I wish we were on par with Motherwell this season! We don't have any grit,desire or want in the team at all. I'm positive that there is a bigger issue that we all don't know about (but I think Ed knows something, check previous posts concerning commons etc). Legal issues etc so i understand why he cant spill the beans. It'll all come out in the wash bhoys.
Keep the faith.

Alright Ed007? What was all the commotion on here yesterday? When I was comming back down the road yesterday from the game I was looking on my phone at the site and seen one of the posts where you and a nameless poster were going at it hammer and tongs. But I only got reading the first 3 posts then lost signal on my phone. By the time I got in last night I had to many shandys and got told to go to my bed lmao. Now the posts have been removed. What I seen mate its a miracle you kept your head. Don't let the Bs grind you down. Banter is one thing but when it goes to the name calling well that's SAD. Keep your chin up Ed you do a good job even tho your a Celtic man only kidding lmao.
Followfollow81 {Ed007's Note - Forget it FF81, he was accusing me of nonsense, you know you are welcome here mate, but I was not having even accusing me of that stuff. You can guess what it was but lets just leave it, I have took legal advice over it and was ready to chuck it, that's how angry I was, no man would like to be accused of that stuff, just let it go mate, and thanks.}

Followfollow81 thanks for supporting our ED007, we all know he is one of the best (and fairest) EDS on here. Still going to diss you about Administration though ha ha.
ED007, I did not realise you had taken that moron so seriously, remember when the dont have guts to leave a name or have to stoop so low they are the ones losing, myself and Miko get accused of everything under the sun also, we just laugh it off (yes I know sometimes it's hard to do) and give them more pelters back. When then they call us names I just say to myself, they dont have a comeback this is all they have poor eejits.Even today Miko and I are fighting the Tims corner as we dont hide. But ED007 dont let the idiots get to you, we are stronger than they are. We ARE CELTIC THROUGH THROUGH LOL Timalloy {Ed007's Note - Don't you worry Tim, I did get upset bedcause he might know me, let's let it go, I have no intention with falling out with the decent Rangers fans on here,}

No bother Ed. I probably can guess and that is sick on his part. I seen a post on the Rangers page him greeting to our Ed asking her to catch a grip of you can you believe the cheek of the guy? It must have been bad if you were thinking about chucking it. Don't even think like that Ed that means that sick person has won plus I like when you get stuck into both sets of fans for some of the crap they post lmao and another thing if you quit who would take your place Timalloy lmao? It's bad enough with him posting 5000 times a day without him being an Ed lmao. Anyway Ed just Rise Above It.
Followfollow81

Followfollow81 no I would never take place of our beloved Celtic ED007, but imagine me being the RANGERS ED haha
boy could I have some fun with that, only me, Miko and Lenny allowed to post anything ha ha LOL Timalloy
PS FF81 if I am not around tomorrow it is because I am applying for rangers ed job ha ha

When are we going to take our heads out of the clouds regarding paddy McCourt. The guy is no where near fit enough for 90 mins. As good as he can be , he's very predictable too. If we put the wonder goals to one side I feel he is very predictable. He gets the ball and he's going to run at you. How many times does he lose possession attempting to take man on. It reminds me of young school players playing, get the ball and run at them. He's a great sub to bring on but in afraid sub for the last twenty mins when teams are tiring is all he is. Despite what anyone might think of the 3 managers who have been in charge of McCourt during his time at celtic, they surely can't be all wrong

Agree dont think he is good enough for celtic , another case of someone at celtic getting an easy ride because of their background and no one looking at what they have actually done ,fab1

Are you saying that an internationalist who plays for the club is only here to sell jerseys then. He surely is better than what is there already.

Would that be the same " iternational" team that healy , laughferty and half the english third division plays for . im not suggesting anything i think my earlier post is saying exactly that .fab1

Get real mate, the fact is we in scotland cant compete with championship teams financially,players dont want medals and bother now , they just want the pound and will use celtic and rangers as bargaining tools to get the best deal for themselves. how many players did the old firm fail to get in the last window because they went to englands second division.

I dont know what this has got to do with mcourt not being good enough to play for celtic,he has been with us for 3 different managers and the most he gets is 15 mins here and there so they obviously agree with me . i dont think he would even be with us if he was not northern irish . you think he is a great player because he gets a game now and again for ni a team ranked with san marino and the faroes.fab1

Does any one really know what is wrong with our club right now?

Cant believe how much we miss brown and izzy, i think the league is well gone(but we live in hope)

would like to see the management changed but only if we are going to pay someone decent to do the job!!

And buy a keeper and a couple of defenders which know other manager seems to want to do!!!

anyone else think we have nothing to lose now so we should try to integrate a few more youth players. The u19s seem to be very good and would be hungrier than most of the clowns playing the now. The likes of tony watt and paul george should be given a chance because our fowards cant score and theres a lack of creativity in midfield.

also these boys gave barcelona and man city u19s a game and we all know what barca youth players are like and man city youth players like suarez arent too shabby either

fraz

There is a big difference between Barcelona U19's and stepping up to first team football.......

I think your right mate, give the kids a chance surely they will have the hunger to price themselves unlike the overpaid crap we have at the moment who believe there own hype! Some of the u19s could get the crowd going again because it's always good to see your own homegrown youngsters getting games

Afternoon ED007, the general concensus seems to be that Lennon has "lost" the dressing room. If this is the case why? Most of these players he signed, if Lenny goes and a new man comes in, I hope he roots out the troublemakers among the players also, surely our players must have pride in playing for Celtic, most are getting well rewarded. We all need to regroup players, fans etc.. and get right behind the team.
If all the rumours come true and Rangers enter Administration, surely with them losing 10 points that must give Celtic a massive lift, we must use that as a spur to kick on and win the league, with or without Lennon as manager.But whoever is in charge must have players willing to give 100% and any player not giving that Get Rid. hail hail Timalloy {Ed007's Note - I have said for months the qualities Brown brings to the team, at least he will fight for the cause and give out rollockings on the park when needed, who else seems to do that?}

Is that what it has come to now for Celtic? Relying on Rangers being deducted 10 points? How can you use that as some sort of motivation, knowing that you have won the league, not because of your efforts but because the team in pole position have been deducted 10 points?

If Rangers get points deducted and Celtic win the League Celtic may hold the trophy but everyone in Scottish football including a vast Majority of Celtic fans will know in there hearts and minds that Rangers are the true Champions.

Tony

Tony {Ed007's Note - Like the shared title you claim? Did you notice Aberdeen's 2 stars for winning yesterday? Rumour is Man Utd are going to put 19 stars on their top, along with their ones for winning a European trophy and being allowed to defend it. World Champs at being banned from Europe and not allowed to defend that trophy, I wouldn't brag about that if I had any class.}

Are you telling me that you would be happy taking the league if you only won it by Rangers having a points deduction Ed

Tony {dEd007's Note - If they eventually told the truth about league wins and their disgraceful behaviour over 30 years ago. You kid on you are world beaters, no one else thinks so Tony, just a complete part of Scotland's shame, I can forward you the email correspondence regarding it. from FARE

Damn right Tony, just as much as you lot enjoy winning with that anti-football approach, a win's a win after all. You are "The Shame!" lol

Miko

What are you talking about Ed "truth about League wins and disgraceful behaviour over 30 years ago" all i asked would you be happy with winning the League because Rangers got deducted points

Tony {Ed007's Note - Well you are happy at sharing one?}

30 Oct 2011 12:47:28
To quote NL this morning "the only reason I'll leave is if I decide I'm not taking the club forward or getting the displays the fans merit" .He also exempts ki ,ledley (who he has messed about something awful) and his lovechild forest from any criticism .Walk now cos I think sadly u hav lost the plot......DH

So what he is saying is the board will boot him out and he will not jump 1st.

Think what he's saying is simply laying the groundwork for his imminent departure. He is not taking the club forward and he is not getting the displays the fans merit, CASE CLOSED!

Still think some of the players have engineered this, they're not daft. Sh*te performances cost managers their jobs. It's clear some of them want him out and want out themselves.
No Bottle!

Baybear

If he walks he would get no comp if hes sacked the board would need to pay up , but hes celtic minded so he will walk eh ? i think not lol 4iar

To all the under achieving individuals at Celtic Football Club your are a disgrace to the Celtic jersey,If the individuals are not playing so you can get Neil Lennon the sack you are all going the right way about it,No Heart,No Fight,as long as you can pick up your wage for appearance money you all must be happy,to many individuals not interested,in putting in a shift,this would not be tolerated in any other line of work.To all Celtic individuals you must be proud of your non achievment so far this season.

So that is the only reason Celtic are so far behind Rangers? Some of you guys think Lennon is god, he is the manager- buck stops with him. How many 1st team regulars were not brought in by him? I for one am happy for him to stay, quite funny after all the pre season prophecies of McCoist getting the sack before xmas.

The under achieving is not from individuals , it is from the board collectively, the managment team collectively and the players collectively .WHY IS OUR CAPTAIN STALLING ON RE- SIGNING. WHO IS LEADING THIS CLUB.

Our captian is not resigning because he feels he should have had a premiership move by now. He'll be another SPL STAR PLAYER who's found out in the EPL although I reckon he'll only get there by winning promotion with a championship side. Misplaced aggression does not make you a quality midfielder!

Baybear

Do you not think if Scott Brown went to Rangers instead of Celtic he would have been properly managed and coached and would be the player his potential showed, like numerous players at Parkhead they have been poorly coached and man -managed . The manager blames everybody apart from himself because he knows the mugs who turn up week in week out are eating out of his hand because of who he is . The support hounded wee gordon stachan out because of who he was and it had nothing to do with results . If yous are supporters of good celtic tradional football and and the clubs values you should be demanding the manager leaves.

What absolute rubbish! Scott Brown would have been better at Ibrox? What evidence have you for this. His biggest issue is that he has for 4 years now had an ankly injury that will probably never fully clear and will continue to come back. Thats just one of those things. I take t that doesnt happen at Rangers? Also fairly fed up hearing that WGS was hounded out and that folk didnt like his background. More rubbish! First off, whilst I agree he was subject to a fair bit of moaning etc this was to do with the downward direction and style of the team. I nkow this because I was one of these who wanted him to go and I couldnt give a flying F**K what his background was - neither could anyone I know. all we wanted was winning, entertaining football. It was never entertaining and laterly wasnt winning either. WGs got lucky in winning his 3rd title (happy to admit that) as his best year was his first and it gradually went down from there. Folk could see that and also see jsut how awful we were to watch. Just because things have gotten worse, it doesnt change that. A week after WGS's resignation was confirmed (he had advised the board 6 months in advance that 4 years was enough) he came back to the ground, spoke warmly to the crowd and was received warmly by them. Finally, if we are true fans we'd hound the current manager out? Wanting a change is a fair point but it doesnt make anyone more of a supporter and theres a way to go about it! {Ed007's Note - I only say we need a player like him.}

30 Oct 2011 12:02:33
The rumours doing the rounds of the players not playing for Lenny. Well what happens if we bring in a new boss and the players don't like him?.
Kayal, KI, and Hooper are really getting on my wick just now, they are strolling around the park uninterested. Lenny can't see what every fan can see, he should have hauled these three non triers off at half time yesterday. I also can't believe he is having a go Stokes, and praising Ki. Stokes is at least trying, ki is poncing about like a superstar. I couldn't believe he was playing him on the left wing yesterday, what the hell is that all about. Paddy Mccourt should have got the whole game, at the very least we would have had some entertainment.
Like most football fans i can take my team getting beat, but i can't take players not putting in the effort, and these three are conning the Celtic fans just now.
paddybhoy

Agree with ki and kayal but thought hooper put a shift in,hard if your a forward and the service isn't there i would like to see forrest play where he is positioned in the team and that's wide right so as the full back can overlap and vice versa also mccourt needs more time to make an impact

Not a rumour as such, have you heard anything ed?, a few well informed sources state there is a drinking culture in the Celtic management with Thompson a particularly negative influence. If true, a worry {Ed007's Note - It is a rumour doing the rounds, but it would be a sackable offence surely.}

Agreed Ed but football clubs operate by different rules us mere mortals have to abide by.....

All the glasgow boys will know it's no big secret that thommo is a boozebag but i still dont see what differece it makes. i doubt they turn up half pished like ed says they'd be sacked on the spot............K

Do you honestly believe the scottish press would not have gleefully reported this if it was true and well known

The Press can only report this if there is absolute evidence and that type of evidence involves people squealing and singing like canaries on a public platform. Now when I was last in Glasgow that kind of behaviour is frowned upon ( the squealing not the bevvying ! :)) Any paper reporting this would have to be prepared for a potential lengthy court case as they may be sued by the person they are reporting about..ie defamation of character, libel etc; also some football clubs still suffer from the hangover (no pun intended) of the days of heavy bevvying and macho culture that other organisations have more or less cleaned up. If these allegations have some truth in them given the person is an ex player who is still held in high regard due to his service and achievements at the club then I doubt anything official will ever be reported. We all know Celtic I think quite rightly try to keep things in house so why would this ever get to the Scottish press which by and large it appears are resented both by supporters and the board alike. I for one hope there are no grounds for these allegations but it would go a long way to explaining a few things.

30 Oct 2011 10:05:48
dave jones, owen coyle martinez, john collins, get a grip of yourselves , why get rid of lennon and bring in somebody worse or at best on a par. if lennon walks or gets sacked every supporter must demand either vocally or by not going to games as protest that the board spend the cash and bring in a top class manager .nothing else will do

Tony Mowbray was celtic 3rd choice manger, Lennon was just a quick fix for 6 months then done well. Now it's caught up with the board that we now need to get someone tried & tested & spend the money.

There's 5 million there from Europa there so that could get us someone & DD & PL don't need to crack a penny

Come on you bhoys in green
Lenny

Where is the money coming from, you don t have much. Realistically, we are all shopping in poundland.

30 Oct 2011 09:38:08
Lennon tells Sunday Post he feels he has not been backed by the board & has lost the dressing room with too many players not wanting to play for the shirt which will probaly end up with him out the door.

30 Oct 2011 09:24:48
Rennes of Thursday at home then Motherwell away.

Every time we have played during the week we lose at the weekend.

Let's be honest it's a massive ask to win both games more so the way were playing just now.

If Lennon walked if we lose these 2 games a wouldn't hold it against him like Mowbray. Well just now anyway, said it b4 Europa is just a golden hand shake.5millon for getting beat in 6 games. That's now the money for someone new. But who ? We need it sorted b4 rangers problems start to arise!

Ed what's your thoughts on Lennon ? Think he has the heart to walk ?

Lennu {Ed007's Note - I don't think he will.}

30 Oct 2011 08:18:02
Questions to celtic fans. Do you enjoy going to the games just now, can you see any light at end of the tunnel.If you answered no to these then the manager needs to go and go now. The panache the manager spoke about at the end of a failed season is not evident,the thunder is not there and the players look to have no respect or fight in them. If the manager goes now it will allow a new manager to come in with time to build . John Collins and Yogi Hughes as new management team.

30 Oct 2011 06:42:56
Lenny can't get the best out of them. He is no better than Mowbray so we have to make change now and get someone bedded in for next year. The spl is way out of our grasp now.

We need to stop being seduced by past players and get someone in who is the best man for the job with a proven record above our level

We are becoming a joke

You are not becoming a joke - you are a joke. The skint Rangers heading for 4 in a row because your Board won't buy players or sign a decent manager.

Bigbaloobear

Bigbaloobear, you talking about your own team, your board cant sign new players, and brought in fat sally as he was cheapest replacement for walter

DazzaBhoy

Dazzabhoy

So how come you are 12 points behind us and in a tailspin?

Bigbaloobear

Fed up with the skint myth as well...was the £4 million Jelavic donated by Rapid ? Are the players not getting their wages ? {Ed007's Note - Rapid are still owed an instalment, no one will give Rangers credit, that is why Goodwille never joined, Dundee Utd wouldn't extend credit.}

30 Oct 2011 00:28:15
Just want to congratulate Timalloy and Miko for inventing jokes and for supporting them too!
