First of all I want to say a big well done to all the Celtic fans today who almost to a man, woman and child observed the minute's silence impeccably ( yes I know one or two idiots spoiled it but only one or two) Believe me the media were all hoping for a big deflection story tomorrow to take it away from the new club getting pumped again. They were all left disappointed.
Even my ex bear pals said how our fans were well behaved, with one exception, guess who? he wears a suit and is a bigot. He actually emailed to ask "if Celtic were going to apologise for many? of our fans shouting during the minute's silence" He lives in his own wee bigoted sad world where every Celtic fan is his "enemy" I simply replied the only silence I wanted was from HIM.

31 Dec 2016 20:48:59
I thought our fans were brilliant today both in the backing they gave the team and the way they observed the silence, they showed once again that they are sheer class.
I would just like to wish everyone on here a happy and peaceful new year, I hope you all have a great time.
I would also like to thank Ed007 for the time and effort he puts into this site, it's great to hear his thoughts on things, and he has a really good knowledge of what is happening in and around our great club. Ed I wish you and your family all the best for the coming year.

{Ed007's Note - Thanks very much, Gerry and a Happy New Year to you and your family too, all the best.}

Why does anyone feel the need to congratulate fans on observing a minutes silence? If it's for a genuine reason like today it should be taken for granted and observed.

Much appreciated stephbhoy and I wish all to be safe and well in 2017 hail hail.

First happy new year to one and all, great game today the team proved that they will not be defeated. Tiredness and complacancy will not be permitted, no excuses accepted. Today was another step towards the future development of this team, Dembele became unplayable the longer the game went on; any watching manager would have been in raptures at the last 5 mins. I know this is not pretty but in the CL it is very important and the difference between winning and losing away from home. Also a big thank you to every supporter who was there today we showed how to be a true celt without turning into zombies.

Before the madness begins bhoys n ghirls a very Happy New Year to you ALL! ESPECIALLY the peeps that paid £49 for the crumbledome today! MUCH LOVE HH!

31 Dec 2016 17:21:47
Just a quick thank you Ed 007 for supplying and managing this fabulous site allowing us to comment, opinionate and exchange all things Celtic for another year.
I wish you, your family and all my fellow posters and contributors a very happy and peaceful new year.
Well done to BR and the squad on an absolutely outstanding first half of the season and many, many brilliant memories.

{Ed007's Note - Thanks very much. Happy New Year to you and your family.}

The only way things will change with sky is if all Scottish football fans come together and just cancel their sky packages.
For too long our game has been treated like crap, we as football fans deserve better.
I for one will be switching my TV package to BT sports.

31 Dec 2016 17:15:18
I cancelled my Sky in the summer - changed to BT and saved over forty quid. My son got me a wee 'Magic box' for my birthday and I can watch most games I want.
SLY are very patronising to Scotland and Scottish football and very anti- Celtic and I would urge people to ditch them.

31 Dec 2016 15:51:59
Guys I have just been told that, the guy who shouted " I hope you die" was in fact a Rangers fan hope this is WELL DOCUMENTED.

31 Dec 2016 17:54:36
The story seems to be "I hope you die! " was from the home support in a reaction to a "mon the hoops! " or something similar from our end. Poor show from anybody to shout over the silence tbh, never nice to see and embarrassing that people just can't help themselves for one minute.

31 Dec 2016 15:03:24
Daily ranger at it again, foaming at the crotch because 1 numpty shouted something. And they don't even kno where it came from. Its this paper and others like it that should be done for inciting violence.

31 Dec 2016 15:12:59
Totally agree. Heard one or two "shouts" but couldn't tell where it came from but plenty of sectarian and banned songs from the home end. that was clearly identifiable to be from a large proportion but as usual sod all will be said or done about it.

Already I've seen posts on Social media slating Celtic fans for disrupting the minutes silence. Total arrogance that they cannot see their own shortcomings amongst what I'd say is a majority of their support!

And Neil McCann. GIRUY ya wee bam!

Be safe everyone if out tonight.

31 Dec 2016 15:29:06
Disgraceful reporting by the daily Hun. I thought the Celtic fans are very much to be applauded for observing minutes silence especially after listening to half an hour of anti-catholic sectarian abuse. I sometimes buy the record for football as I wouldn't have the Sun in my house either but that's me finished with the record. I would urge all Celtic fans to do the same. The paper isn't worth wrapping a fish supper in or wiping your arse with. But learned a long time ago that the Scottish press and BBC were never big on truth. I for one was proud of our supporters. 🍀.

31 Dec 2016 15:52:52
One tit shouted gb bobby sands that wasnit but they reacted by making more noise shouting the usual bile. The min silence imo went greatbwas proud to be a tim there not rising tonthere stunt.

31 Dec 2016 15:55:30
Guys as I have just posted, but will do again.
the guy that shouted was in fact a Rangers fan, my son has just been told that his mate ( Rangers fan ) was less than 15 ft away from the guy who shouted.

Lets see how they dress this 1 up or NOT.

31 Dec 2016 16:17:28
I heard that too cprs I suppose where the route of all evil too them the orange ear here's what it wants.

31 Dec 2016 17:13:16
The initial shout did come from one of ours let's not cover that up but 1 shout that was is you could hear a pin drop otherwise. I was next to my mate whispering please blow the whistle as it was tense but the bhoys all deserve credit. yes we know it was a ploy but it was respected (rightfully so) and then we done our talking on the pitch.

31 Dec 2016 14:48:50
Good win today but if we are being subjective we were poor in the first half giving them to much time and respect. Lustig didn't look good against someone with pace and the centre of defence still looks shaky. I'm sure BR will have players in mind to strengthen our deficiencies but at the end of the day we were better in the second half and what a great way to end the year with beating the drivel in their backyard.
Happy New Year when it come to all you bhoys and ghirls in green.

31 Dec 2016 14:32:04
Happy new year bhoys hh.

{Ed007's Note - Happy New Year mate.}

31 Dec 2016 14:20:35
To Neil McCann " i really want Rangers to win this one". GIRFUY. Ya wee walloper.

31 Dec 2016 14:23:43
Sorry son.

31 Dec 2016 14:43:55
My favourite comment was from Andy walker in the 1st half he said sinclair wasn't in the game lol not sure which game coz everything went through him.

Armstrong and dembele both amazing.
An honourable shout out for mcgregor who was a spectator 1st half but uped his game 2nd fair play.

31 Dec 2016 14:50:56
Thought mcgregor had a very good second half.

{Ed007's Note - I think McGregor comes in for a lot of unfair criticism. The whole team were rotten for the first half hour. He came onto his game when the rest of them did and for me he put in a solid performance.}

31 Dec 2016 15:14:47
I totally agree ed007.
Said it before every squad needs a utility player like mcgregor.
How many positions has he played this season?
Add to that he pops up with assists and goals.
For me not a first pick but still important member of the squad.

{Ed007's Note - And he seems happy enough with that role. McGregor would easily walk into any other team in Scotland.}

31 Dec 2016 15:32:08
sinclair.

31 Dec 2016 15:48:32
Nice and unbiased commentary from Neil Mccann there . Would have liked to have seen a bit more of his sour face on the tele. 😂 Never mind u little traitor.

31 Dec 2016 19:29:43
He knows what it means to play for celtic and he probably realises that his career will never have a club as big as celtic after he leaves ed007.

{Ed007's Note - He's made over 20 apps this season so it's not as if he's just warming the bench and Rodgers obviously likes him. I wouldn't have him in my starting 11 but he's definitely good enough to be a squad player for Celtic on the domestic front.}

31 Dec 2016 14:17:31
Guys if anybody was coming to Airdrie for the New Year street party don't bother its cancelled 😀🍀 Happy New Year Huns!

31 Dec 2016 11:49:02

Come on you BHOYS n green ynwa.

Really looking forward to the game, even the noises that McGregor will start can't subdue my enthusiasm. Hope the boy plays well but I just don't see it with him. He is the weakest link in our team. Still 0 - 3 Celtic for me, Hail Hail.

31 Dec 2016 09:48:14
Rogic is a massive loss and I'm not a fan of McGreggor either Dafabet. But we should be able to beat the Huns with 10 men. 3-0 to the TIMS for me too 🍀.

31 Dec 2016 10:59:41
Mcgregor is not that bad imo domestically he'd walk into any other team in Scotland and would comfortably b the best player and can nick a goal.

31 Dec 2016 09:20:50
Hail hail Bhoys and ghirls hope you all have a wonderfull new year when it comes but first things first let's head to the cesspit and destroy that mob show them how football should be played get the 3 points then head home to be with family and friends .
