The sheep or the orcs. bring it on.

Perfect draw.
If we get sevco, then its the same as the last 2 years and we went on to win the double treble.
Its all falling into place nicely, beat sevco in semi and then we can go and enjoy the final on May 25th to win treble treble. Fairytale club.

{Ed007's Note - And they couldn't risk us playing TRIFC in the final after the way the Klan reacted to losing to Hibs in 2016. Winning the Treble Treble against them would send the lunatic majority of their support over the edge.}

04 Mar 2019 21:59:08
Its going to be mayhem when we win 10 in a row.
They will be handing out death threats galore.

{Ed007's Note - Yep, it's going to get real nasty over the next couple of years while their entire perverse indoctrinated "WATP" white supremacist wall of comfort is slowly crumbling down around them.}

05 Mar 2019 01:15:26
They will want public hangings brought back for their Enemies! 😂😂.

@Ed, Hopefully we have some more referendums and decide to remain in the EU and leave the UK as I reckon this would drive them over the edge. Although I dread to think what carnage would be left in their wake, as I recall what happened in Manchester and that was just because the telly didnae work.

{Ed007's Note - Brexit is one of the biggest cock-ups in human history.}

05 Mar 2019 23:50:41
Can some one explain why Brexit is one of the biggest cock-ups in human history?, it's my birthday today, I am 64, when Britain joined the common market, that's what it was, a common market, a free trading zone, then it became the European Union, the EU, a political union, no one really paid much attention, we were young, we were free, our teeth were clean, but then it happens, the young ones don't remember what it was like before the EU.

Only little - English men would ask that question . Freedom to work and Study in all 28 Countries is a massive benefit for UK . My daughter was at work on Sunday in Belfast Hospital . 7 working, only my daughter from Uk, rest Europeans . Students studying in UK Unniversities can do one or two yrs in European uni to get better degree. and qualifications . British Ind . depends on European factories, for example cars . Car manuf car starts off in Uk, goes to Germany, Spain etc and various parts added, returns to UK for completion . Car Ind plus many others will be decimated .
Northern Ireland will cease to operate with a hard Brexit . Farm products must be able to move to and back again from ROI . People live on one side of border and work on other . Currently Health Services and Education cross border . On a personal note I cross border 6 times going to and 6 times coming from my in- laws, a hard Brexit will have me at the very least queuing up for each crossing
Aindoh, that is just my simple view, despite us maintaining clean teeth, leaving the EU without providing a better substitute is folly . We were told we had the whole world to trade with, not one Country has agreed.

Why did Rodgers not take Lee Congerton with him when he took the family jewels?

04 Mar 2019 19:44:57
Wanted to leave us with quality for the future.

04 Mar 2019 19:54:54
Mabawz.

04 Mar 2019 20:41:41
There was nae mare room in the getaway car!

{Ed007's Note - Eduardo Macia is the Head of Player Recruitment at Leicester.}

04 Mar 2019 21:15:34
OAB 😂👍.

04 Mar 2019 17:38:30
Is it any wonder BR left when you see the carry on in Scottish football just now, bottles and coins thrown at players and managers, seats being ripped out of stadiums, constant hatred and sectarian singing at games and the worst standard of refereeing you will ever see. Personally I think he will be glad to see the back of it all and I for one can't blame him for that. Just gutted at the manner of his departure that is all.

{Ed007's Note - You do know that England is one of the countries UEFA are monitoring because of the behaviour of fans and rise in racism? That stuff had absolutely nothing to do with Rodgers decision to walk out on us at this point in the season and it's wrong to suggest otherwise.}

04 Mar 2019 18:20:35
Ed spot on Rodgers would manage The KKK if the money was right. 👍 These characters are pollutions though.

04 Mar 2019 18:34:03
Some amount of excuses being trundled out for reasons to justify the rats leaving. He’s a self obsessed barsteward and left for his ego and salary. Good riddance.

04 Mar 2019 18:28:36
No I never knew that ed to be fair and I'm not saying that is why he left either, just pointing out that we do have a big problem with this stuff here in Scotland and nobody seems to be too bothered about it.

Yes I am gutted he left when he did, being the first manager in our history to do so?

I prefer the guy we have now anyway 👍.

{Ed007's Note - Yeah there's clubs in England (I can't remember if it's 7 or 9) and there's 2 in Scotland - as well a loads on the continent - that have been identified as having problematic fans. Now the interesting thing is the SFA are arguing to UEFA that there isn't a problem to deal with whilst it's all over the news and press.}

04 Mar 2019 18:58:50
CB 👍Well rid.

04 Mar 2019 19:02:24
Just more excuses to criticise our own fans and football here tbh

One minute it's smoke bombs that's the problem but no complaints breathing in poisonous car fumes everyday going to work.

{Ed007's Note - I think it's down to everybody's own personal feelings of where 'the line' is. I think we all agree throwing coins or bottles etc is @rsehole behaviour & running onto the park to confront opposition players, but when it comes to flares and songs there's always going to be a difference of opinion.
The astounding thing about any of this is that there's some Celtic supporters that think songs about Irish Republicanism is sectarian, and then there's the age old argument of whether 'Orange' is actually a religion? Would it be seen as sectarian for saying 'F**k the KKK'? There's a whole world of difference between what Protestants and the Orange Order believe in and promote but there's a fine - if blurred - line between the OO and the KKK.}

04 Mar 2019 19:16:05
England is a hotspot for football casuals, far worse behaviour than here in Scotland.

04 Mar 2019 19:22:07
If I were to hazard a guess I would say the huns and the mini huns ed?

{Ed007's Note - No, it's us and TRIFC.}

04 Mar 2019 20:05:04
Nobody is capable of losing the plot watching Celtic more than me but if ye throw coins and bottles at opposing players or fans from a distance you’re a ball less ball s&ite bag.

{Ed007's Note - 👍

04 Mar 2019 20:25:25
Exactly ed. Most common sense. Most of those moaning don't even have an answer for that.

Lots of it comes down to some form of snobbery or something.

Also the snowflake generation. When I go to old firm games I'd far rather be called a Fenian B than swap scarfs and shake hands

I've never been once offended at any of their chants, couldn't care less. No idea why people get so soft over it.

{Ed007's Note - The half 'n' half scarfers 🤮🤮🤮🤮

04 Mar 2019 20:48:24
Tesla, same here couldn’t give a flying feck what they sing was always just grateful I didn’t have a red, white and blue scarf to be honest.

04 Mar 2019 21:55:03
Seems to be something driven by most people and media outside of the old firm

Offended on our behalf or something.

All acting like they are the best behaved outside these clubs or in england etc.

Old firms a scapegoat and almost an agenda to change something about it.

Most fans of either side are happy to mutually hate each other 😂

No big deal. Same way schools and TV always make it out to be a religious issue when that's not exactly true. King Billy was supported by the pope etc.

Other wars were political and not sectarian at all.

But they refuse to talk about the actual history behind it at schools then blame delinquents for being uneducated on it lol. Stop force feeding them WW2 stuff at school so much. Mix it up.

06 Mar 2019 18:56:44
The bottle mentioned in the Hibs statement, thrown from the Celtic end seems to have disappeared . I haven't seen it anywhere, I was wondering was it a bottle of Buckie or Blue Nun .
I hope there was no bottle and it was just Hibs getting carried away.

04 Mar 2019 12:12:49
Big eddy has great quality but he lacks consistency really frustrating can be devastating and really poor.

04 Mar 2019 14:42:20
I remember 'Big Yogi' was the same in the 60's and very early 70's. On his day he was unplayable and scored many a fine goal, but he had his off-days too where was really out of touch.
Eddy is still a young (relatively inexperienced) player and has shown some real individual brilliance and I'm sure his best is yet to come.

04 Mar 2019 15:44:31
Don’t worry, he’s young Brendan will coach the best out of him, oh wait 😂.

04 Mar 2019 15:49:58
I think edouard just needs a player similar to Dembele to play upfront together.

He is a good player, just been unfortunate with injuries this season. If he gets a good run of games I can see him being top goalscorer in league, which will say a lot about his ability considering games he has missed.

04 Mar 2019 18:42:56
That player is bayo as soon as he’s up to speed which I believe he should be about ready, we will see what him and Eddie can do I’ve a good feeling about bayo can’t wait for him to smash the goals in 🍀.

04 Mar 2019 19:17:27
Chrisbhoy I agree. Hopefully bayo turns out to be a class player for us.

04 Mar 2019 20:48:29
When is bayo likely to feature.

06 Mar 2019 19:01:33
Eddie 's inconsistency is due, in my opinion, to the very heavy work load he has had to carry . The big fellow is still very young and playing up front very often on his own, is very tough even for someone a few years older . BBR probably thought paying £9m he would have to play him even if not 100% fit.

04 Mar 2019 11:52:21
Do we have any chance of getting Marco Rose in? According to the bookies he's one of the favourites but i would imagine that's just because there's been a lot of bets placed, can't see him leaving Salzburg for us when he could wait and get a move in Germany but he would be the ideal candidate. Unless we are getting someone of that stature Lennon would be my man.

04 Mar 2019 16:49:26
Completely agree. It’s Lenny for me however if it’s decided that Lenny will not take the post on full time we need to push the boat out for Marco Rose. Either appointment I would be happy with.

04 Mar 2019 18:31:50
Rose all day long but as you say can't see it happening but then again I said that about BR and the Leicester job days before he went.

04 Mar 2019 10:43:09
So today is the last real comment I am having on the Rodgers situation.

Now that I have calmed down a bit I am going to say this.
Our 2 and half years under him have brought some fantastic highs and a few lows.
Our domestic record has been amazing and I wouldn't swap it for anything in the world.
In Europe we have had some good results Manchester city ect ect and some proper doings PSG ect ect but European football after Xmas the last 2 years is a good thing.

The way he left has soured his legacy and that is a shame because we have had good times under him.

He built on a lot of the work Ronny tried to do while here and the next man with hopefully built on what Rodgers did.

I thank him for his work while here but I won't wish him the best because of the way he treated us.

04 Mar 2019 11:50:40
Kev my anger is subsiding and I’m grateful for what he did for us but the manner of his departure was such that he’ll never be remembered fondly or welcomed back which is a shame. Unless he made a public apology when he recognises and acknowledges the mistake he’s made an the underhand way he’s gone about things. I wish the man no ill will and all the best. I have nothing but sympathy for him when I hear his take on events that we’re hurt and will welcome him back one day. Naw we’re raging at being taken in and flanneled with the Celtic man living the dream nonsense and no we won’t. We move on and personally I’m not interested in what he does or doesn’t do here on in. He will live to regret the decision and that’s really sad.

04 Mar 2019 15:50:37
I feel the same as everyone but I was thinking the other day, when would there have been a good time for him to leave? If he’d done it at the end of the season it wouldn’t give the new manager a lot of time to see what we have ( after the players loans finish, or are out of contract) until the qualifiers start. If he agreed with Leicester last week to stay with us til the end of the season some players could “down tools “ knowing he’s not going to be there. Maybe the sharp exit was best for everyone, although it was in a critical week for the club . Which fortunately we have came through.

04 Mar 2019 18:04:58
Quinn1888, I think it was tricky but could have been handled behind the scenes. He agrees to take over in summer but no announcement until we have secured the league - 6-8games maybe . Then a proper farewell whilst lifting the Scottish Cup. It happens all the time that way. It he drove it through asap. Why?

07 Mar 2019 13:11:28
I think myself and others have to apologise to some of the Ed's for not believing what they said about Brendan's behaviour at Liverpool. I know I personally thought that the Ed's were exaggerating and we're quoting the nonsense that is often said when a manager leaves . Looking back on Rodgers time at Celtic there was an awful lot of "I" and very little team in his discussions and press conferences .

To me Brendan over-all behaved worse at Celtic than we were warned about by Eds . I am only sorry I went to his book launch and bought his book . I think taking half of his backroom staff, shows this was quite a long drawn out plan by him and taking Tuoro was plainly trying to block an avenue to low priced but well skilled Young Africans . Rodgers just didn't want to go to Leicester he wanted to weaken us.

04 Mar 2019 09:25:56
Why don't reporters ask the pertinent questions? Like "Brendan, as an avid lifelong Celtic fan did winning a historic treble treble not register with you as something that you simply couldn't walk away from. In doing so did you think about what your departure might do to the chances of such a feat? " Jose has summed it up perfectly, he could have told them yes I want to work for you, when my work here is complete.

04 Mar 2019 10:39:05
No very often i agree with that bam but he's spot on and Rodgers knows it.

04 Mar 2019 18:27:27
A Celtic man would have stayed for the Rebel Treble he didn’t because he wasn’t and isn’t a Celtic man.

04 Mar 2019 07:47:35
I really wish these clowns who know absolutely nothing about Scottish football would just keep their mouths shut instead of spouting preconceived, patronising BS. The latest moron to throw in his two pennies' worth is renowned idiot Garth Crooks - apparently we, as Celtic fans, should be grateful that Rodgers "re-established us as the dominant force in Scotland". Why not just wear a badge saying "I haven't got a clue what I'm talking about? " Or better still, say nothing at all?

On a different note, Happy Birthday King Kenny - my all time professional footballing hero, and imo, greatest player ever.

04 Mar 2019 09:12:08
That the same King kenny that took their silver?

04 Mar 2019 09:29:16
Seems the right choice looking back on it Campsie.

04 Mar 2019 09:32:29
Campsie Bhoy what silver mate?

04 Mar 2019 13:08:22
He worked as a scout for that shower of orcs “international scout” was his title. Don’t care how good he was I have no time for anyone associated with them.

{Ed007's Note - It really gets my goat up when I see the words "Celtic legend Kenny Dalglish" 🤬🤬🤬🤬 Surely you can only be a legend at one club and for Dalglish that's go to be Liverpool?}

04 Mar 2019 14:22:45
Why? He was at Celtic for ten years. How long do you have to be at a club to be considered a legend?

{Ed007's Note - He was at Celtic for 9 years and over the first 3 of those he played 10 games, he then went to Liverpool playing for 10 years (13 if you include his time as player-manager) and winning European Cups etc, he then went on to manage them and was sadly their manager during Hillsborough and it's subsequent fallout.
Are you seriously putting Dalglish in the same bracket as guys like John Thomson, McGrory, Jinky, McNeill (and all the Lisbon Lions) Jock Stein, Davie Hay, Tommy Burns, Paul McStay, or Larsson and the Seville UEFA Cup team........ so if Dalglish was to get a statue would it be at Celtic Park or Anfield?
A great player for us but a legend? Nah no chance - and he also came back and brought John Barnes in as our head coach!!!
Maybe it's an age thing and because I never seen Dalglish play for us, when I was growing up he was Mr Liverpool and I just never took to him, but could you see any of those guys I listed going to work for Rangers?}

04 Mar 2019 16:38:03
Exactumundo Ed he’s a Judas in my eyes.

{Ed007's Note - One for the watching 😉
