i feel celtic and hearts can progress through in europa dont think rangers will make it though missing 25 k a week player in steven whitiker and 1.7 million mover shaker to guitar guitar

I dont see hearts doing it over 2 legs celtic wont if they dont concentrate and it depends on fitness for rangers i hope they all go through though

wellboy

I reckon Celtic definitely can and as long as we don't bottle it away from home like we did last year in Utrecht we should be fine.

Rangers should be able to as well if McCoist can get his team performing beyond the level of beating St. Johnstone, although they could struggle if they lose another defender or key player to injury.

I wouldn't bet on Hearts but their chances lie on what team Spurs decide to field as I'm not sure they even wanted Europa League qualification.

Right my Celtic team the now would have to involve a new keeper and a target man, and you can call me stupid, daft, no nothing about football after i say this Ki wouldnt be in my team, Leldey and Kayal are a much better pairing ok we need to give him more playing time but hes only what 21 he can get that next season once we've met our main aim of winning the title. The Goalkeepers i would target are Gordon, Kusczsak or Manninger. the striker or forward would be McFadden, Alexander Frei or Husleklepp

Don't think we'll get any of those keepers, they're top prem keepers. Our best hope is probably the 21 year old Polish boy.........Miko

Alright hoops, Who do you think would be a good addition to the club we could attract to the club????????

I would like to see craig gordon coming in but i dont know how much he would cost and i dont think it would be until jan.

I would try and get Craig Gordon, make him the highest paid player at the club. The guy when fully fit is a class act, and our ropey defence, would feel confident with him behind them.

heard glasgow prozzies are abandoning the old BRAZILIAN in favour of the WHITTAKER?apparently they all want a baldy fanny that earns 25k a week.

Ed007 SAME joke appeared down page abit any decent comic (me?) knows you gotta change your material LOL timalloy {Ed007's Note - That was only down the page, I heard Cliff Richard is planning legal action with you, your jokes are that old}

Cliff Richard EH? that'll be the day, as its only make believe, dont bug me baby, or there will be a whole lotta shakin going on, as I have a mean streak, (for Tony) his apron strings, I got a feeling, that little things mean a lot, so I'm walking
Goodnight timalloy {Ed007's Note - Night Tim, Mrs Tim stamps her authority agian. Nice thumbprint lol remember the headache pills for your good lady}

Cheers

ED007 just been on Liverpool site and most are saying they are not going to respond to anyone who does not leave a name. I think this is a good idea because you know the number of stupid posts on both site that are too cowardly to give a name. Hey bhoys what about on Celtic site unless they name themselves dont respond to their posts Timalloy {Ed007's Note - I have tried to explain all this before Tim, a lot of the Utd supporters are the same. Like I said, if you disagree with a post but you have a name they treat it with respect or slag you knowing your personality and that you will accept it back. The Arsenal fans hate it as well. Here is an example, look at the ongoing Scott Brown debate on here, if you say he can't shoot for peanuts but have your name on it, someone will reply "that's not his game Tim, but look at what he does do for the team. If it is unsigned it could be a Rangers fan at the wind up/slag. The people who leave names tend to be the more popular people on all the sites and people specifically ask for their opinions. It is up to the individual of course if they want to invent a "handle" but as you have seen now for yourself, it makes for a better environment IMO.}

Aye timalloy i dont post with a name and i pass on any info that comes my way but i would not go on about stupid posts as you make enough of them. but you can feel free not to respond to me ya clown and just in case you think i am to cowardly i am a celtic fan and my name is paddy. (no wonder the darkside tell you where to go).

Its not about being a coward, but if you put a nickname or a name then we know who you are when you respond and its easier to get in to a debate or conversation if we know by your past post who you support or that your not some kind of bampot just on to bully or call people names , oh wait a minute ..................fab1

The way i see it is timalloy is trying to bully nameless posters into posting a name or leaving. this week we had 3 new posters and he was right on them badgering them for a name, he never got 1 reply. i am guilty of calling him a name just as he is by calling nameless posters cowards. so what do you want me to do pick a name and turn my back on fellow celtic fans without names just like timalloy wants? no thanks. paddy {Ed007's Note - There will be no bullying allowed Paddy. I have seen that on other sites and dealt with it. I leave it to the individual but other posters are allowed to air their views about it as happens on other sites.}

Cheers ed i know our opinions differ on names on posts. there are a lot of good posters without names and it all comes down to confidence. if someone can not spell very well, they might think they will stick out like a sore thumb with a name on it and so on. so thats why i had a pop at timalloy. paddy {Ed007's Note - I just leave it to the individual Paddy, but 99% of the time I delete posts slagging spelling/grammar. It is very immature and really who cares if you miss a letter out of a name, everyone makes typos. It is completely upto the poster if they use a "handle" but through experience I know that they do get more respect. It is sometimes difficult to determine a CFC fan or a Rangers fan at the wind up when they don't use a name. If you look at other sites you will see the difference between people who will "tag" themselves responses against those who don't. We don't use log in systems etc so it is not as if we know who you are. Plus it is extremely pathetic and warped to pretend that you support another team just to see your post (with no credit at all) on the internet. I am happy to post from anyone as long as it makes sense and meets site (and my own) guidelines.}

Your right about the spelling thing paddy , but like i said it just helps to know who u r talking to(makes it easier to read as well)when you have an idea of who u r dealing with, think the eds do a great job in keeping petty comments about spelling off here , its opinions we want if they are honest then it wont matter about the spelling, its a great site by the way ed.fab1 {Ed007's Note - Thanks Fab1, it's a great hobby 99% of the time}

Cheers fab1, no probs mate. i respect decent posts with a name or without but this post about urging posters not to respond to other posters i find totally childish in the same way i find the petty spelling posts. cheers again ed i do agree with you on somethings like scott brown. paddy

Just been looking up FC Sion there stadium only hold about 16, 000 and they play in a half red half white top something like the old Monaco top.
Two of their midfielders are called Billy Ketkeophomphone and Didier Crettanand ( the first part of this guys surname is I take it taken from a rangers fan) But the OTHER guys name altogether now theres only one Ketkeophomphone
In Scrabble you would win by 1000 points ha ha
LOL timalloy

05 Aug 2011 16:12:40
FC Sion could prove a tricky tie for us , they have a few useful players in their squad and will not be push overs , unfortunately Hearts are f*cked , they won't beat Spurs , but its a money maker for the club , and as usual Rangers get a "bye" NK Maribor don't have as good players as FC Sion .

School hoildays eh

Re:

Keane never had any off field trouble ? u serious? Mccarthy .... Ireland ... worldcup? nah

he had a pop at the manager for his traingin methods in which he also challenged his authority ( lol as nicely as i could put it) the guy thought he was bigger than the whole country

not to mention took celtic fans for a nice wee payday annol

Surely you cannot compare the 2 players? Any "off field" problems Keane created were down to high standards and his professional, competitive nature. There is nothing wrong with that. There IS something wrong with scrapping and stubbing a cigar out in a young lads eye however. Or have I been going wrong all these years?

TK-Red

Wasnt comparing the two in any shape or form was just anwering the guy who thought Keane was a saint who had "no trouble of the park" .... sure he wasnt lol

Perhaps he wasnt a saint but my point is that you cannot compare what happened with Keane to what Barton gets up to. Sure Keane walked out on the Irish world cup squad but you didnt see him putting McCarthey on his arse. And while Im sure Joey Barton has never put Mick McCarthey on his arse, Im sure you get my point ;)

Hi Ed007 Celtic get Sion (Switzerland) first game Celtic Park, Maribor (Slovenia) v Rangers (Tony tough draw they are their champions) Hearts v Tottenham Hotspur really tough draw but lucrative for jam tarts Hail Hail timalloy {Ed007's Note - Afternoon Tim}

Figured one of the OF games would get switched, don't mind if its us. We should have enough in the locker to give a whooping at CP.

Shaunybhoy

I agree difficault indeed for the other 2, altho like you say hearts will make a pretty penny out of that, and they will prob get their game on british TV this time that was a joke all previous games for scottish clubs not on TV, well rangers were but on some obscure ppv channel This sorta crap needs sorted how many times has it been nigh on impossible to watch celtic in europe in the past( outwith CL games) no wonder folk turn to illegal means of watching games

Evinguu

I agree Sion SEEMS a good draw but I remember another "wee" Swiss team Neuchatel Xamex (spelling?) we got thumped 5-1 over there, so no over confidence please as we only have to look back to last year, lets just win tie first and get into group stages. Wanted gers to ger Dnipro tougher team and more travelling still Mariblor are a tough nut also Timalloy

Every game is tough in Europe these days but Rangers and Celtic should go through. Tasty tie for Hearts hope they do well but cant see it happening.

Billyboy1 {Ed007's Note - Good turn for them money wise though Billy.}

Lol what celtic games in europe

Billybhoy1 heard Mr Whyte wants UEFA to give GERS the Tottenham tie and has booked Murrayfield £200 a ticket Timalloy

Oh joy the bright ones are back.......don't make people look up who's played what number of games in Europe mate, I've got better things to read.....and if that was an attempt at humour you need to spend some time with our resident comic Timalloy. You could learn summat.

Shaunybhoy

Shaunybhoy a COMPLIMENT thank you, yes some of the bears comebacks are sooo witty takes them ages to come up with them they leave us mere mortal Celtic fans astounded by their wit EH "Simple Mark" LOL Timalloy
Ps Shunybhoy what about that guy the other night with the ABBA song Genius, and he never put a name to it, Hey ED007 Can I retrospectively put MY name to it ha ha {Ed007's Note - All of the editors agreed that it was brilliant.}

Dont know who posted it on rangers site but fair dos to the ed in charge he put it up unabridged, best bit about it because no authors name bears did not know who to growl at ha ha ha timalloy

This is not a rumour, it is fact.

Unless we sign a commanding Goalkeeper, Centre back and a proven goal scorer, we may hand the league to rangers.

Sometimes you need to speculate to accumulate. I'm not talking about being reckless in our transfer dealings, far from it, but we need to buy three proven class players and we need them now. We do not need squad players, we need first teamers who will not weaken our first 11.

Failure to invest in our squad in January 2009 handed rangers a lifeline. We bought Wilo Flood instead of buying a good player. Rangers won the league and survived. If Rangers hadn't Champions league money the last two seasons they would now be out of business. Celtic's failure to spend ensured that they remained in business. Conspiracy theory .

We should have kicked the Rabgers when they were down and kept them down. We now find ourselves in the position where they have three in a row in the bag with one of the worst squads ever. Where does that leave us.

We can brag all day long about our midfield, however our midfield doesn't score enough goals. No use beating Aberdeen 9 - 0, if we can't score against ICT.

Invest now in our squad, get rid of the deadwood, Maloney et al. If we can dominate Rangers now and they lose their tax case, we can watch their club collapse. They will cease to exist.

Celtic's supporters deserve the best, because we are the best.

But ur not the best u said it urself m8t and if its the tax case ur holding onto then u will hav a long wait with appeals and that and thats IF? we lose mark.

I was with you most of the way through your post fellow Hoop. Then you went a bit mental, why would you want to see them go to the wall? Makes no sense to me, where would we be without each other? I'll tell you, f***ed.

There's no magic door to the EPL, and without Celtic v Rangers would anyone pay for a TV deal? Can't see it myself.

Feel free to call me whatever you want but I want to beat Rangers, not watch them go out of business.

Shaunybhoy - morning Ed, I was well tuned last night and predicted Litex Lovech, can't believe I might be right. {Ed007's Note - Morning Shauny, maybe a premonition there!}

Well said Shaunybhoy we need each other. Lets be honest the reason I buy my season card is for the old firms because there isnt a better feeling than beating our rivals except last night when I was with Mrs Tim (only joking Tim chill) lol

Billyboy1

Just to clarify, I said Celtic supporters were the best, not the team. When we win the league then we will earn the right to say we are the best football team.

I also meant to say that Rangers would cease to exist, as in it's current format. Rangers and Celtic as institutions will never cease to exist.

I suppose at the heart of my post is that we must sign first team players now before it's too late

Hi Billyboy, we differ on ambitions, Rangers can beat us in all the old firm fixtures they want, if it means that the league flag flutters proudly over paradise. I don't like losing to the forces of darkness, but given a choice, I'd pick the league title anyday. Also my ambitions extend to Europe, I want us to be a force to be reckoned with, I want parkhead to be a European fortress. I accept that we'll never probably win anything in Europe again but I just want us to be able to compete and to compete reasonably well. Surely that's not too much to ask the board and manager to deliver.

I never said I prefer winning the old firm than the league did I? all I said was I love beating Celtic. I came on here last season when alot of Celtic fans were saying head to head we beat you and all that but its where the titles lie thats most important of course.

Billyboy1

05 Aug 2011 10:56:13
Alright ED hows it going? Have to agree with you on the Joey Barton issue. Theres no denying he is a fine player but too much off field antics.

Billyboy1 {Ed007's Note - Thanks Billy, I think Mr McKay is a tad upset with me though ;-)

I know ED looks that way its alright you've got back up lol

Billyboy1 {Ed007's Note - Cheers.}

We Are All ED007 lol

joey barton isnt coming so i think the next one that says barton is at celtic or coming to celtic should be band hes not good enough for our team we have a top class midfield now thats put to bed any real chance ed of us signing a decent striker and goalie?? kello could be a good shout been impressed with him and maybe have a good at ngog on loan from liverpool better targetman that sammy and murphy and scores more goals in epl than sammy n murphy has in spl??

mon the hoops

Roy Keane was never in trouble off the park, he was secluded in his private life. I can't think of any occasion he was front page news for anything other than football related. He had some awful moments, however he shunned the limelight when it came to his private life.

He did not have a drink problem either, he was caught up in a booze culture that was prevalent during the Bruce/Pallister (twin towers) era. He was not alcohol dependant, and it was a lifestyle he knew he couldn't sustain, so he decided to abstain.

Roy Keane's a Legend, a real leader of men and I'm proud that such a player played in the hoops, albeit in the twilight of his career. I was at Paradise when he was unveiled at the front doors and you couldn't have wiped the smile off his face as he shook hands and signed autographs for the supporters, I'll never forget it

There's absolutely no comparison with Barton, not even close, he was fallible but then so are all the greats.

Barton's just a nutter and he'll never sign for us

......Miko

05 Aug 2011 01:57:22
i ever compared him to roy keane as a player, keane was in trouble off the park as well and went through a drink problem himself which you will see if you read his book and he also had numerous disagreements with fergie that ultimately led to him leaving man utd, as for comparing him to barton i aint cos he couldnt lace keanes boots. newcastle asked him to take a paycut, do you atualy know joey barton well enough to be able to accuse him of being an alcoholic or is this again a 2nd hand rumour. john hartson had a drink and gambling problem. he ha many off fieldproblems that got him in trouble i.e. the berkovic incident, his affairs, drinking, gambling etc but i love he big guy and was a great servant to the club. so now everyone taht has a drink problem is a thug? why have newcastle never disciplined joey barton if he has a serious drink problem cos that would be something that would come out as public knowledge, he also won newcastles player of the year award last season, not bad for an alcoholic. {Ed001's Note - Have you not seen anywhere how Barton is having therapy and admitted to having a drink problem? Barton is a thug who has a drink problem, you are twisting words to fit your delusions, unless you can find anywhere that I said that everyone who has a drink problem is a thug? Newcastle have disciplined Barton, a number of times, including putting him up for a free transfer or perhaps that fact escaped your notice in your fantasy world? Perhaps you also missed his recent fine of two weeks wages? You clearly know nothing about Hartson either, as it is well known that his problems stemmed from the tumour in his brain, which you clearly are too wrapped up in your little alternate reality to know anything about. Now please Willie go back to trying to find someone stupid enough to sign thugboy, but don't expect anyone with morals to agree with you.}

As I thought, you find an excuse for hartson who i hold in high regard. i am only putting across that barton would deserve a chance should it ever materialise that he is linked with us. dont use hartsons brain tumour as an excuse as he didnt have a brain tumour 5 to 10 years ago when he had gambling problems, drink problems, and the likes of the berkovic incident so you are creating a smokescreen. yes joey barton got fined 2 weeks wages for airing his views publicly on the clubs transfer policy something that shouldnt be looked upon as thug behaviour. i think you live in a fantasy world. not once did ai agree with joey bartons wrongdoings. i condemned them. {Ed001's Note - as you thought? Clearly you are not thinking as personally I am not a Celtic fan and always disliked Hartson intensely, but the doctors who treated him say that the tumour was there for years and caused his behavioural problems. Obviously you think you know better than them, though clearly you have no idea of anything you are talking about. You are wasting my time when you have no idea what you are talking about and I cannot put onto the site a number of instances involving Barton that I know about for legal reasons. So I am just going to leave it because you are clearly out of the loop, but just remember one thing - Joey is just like his brother.}

HI ED.. IM THE GUY WHO SENT IN THE GAZZA JOKE.....HERE THIS (NOT A JOKE)...I WAS LISTENING TO A LOCAL RADIO STATIONS PHONE IN AFTER THE SHAMES GAME LAST NIGHT , , IT WAS JIM TRAYNOR....AND THIS GUY CALLS IN..

The administrators don't like it.}

Sorry ed...a was doing a document earlier wi caps lock on {Ed007's Note - Pity who ever is getting sent that then! lol}

Hello ED, I actually think Barton would be a great signing, what he did in the past is behind him, he is a quality player, I think he deserves an england call up also, Anyway apparently he's at Celtic Park, he's been there since 5:30, don't know if I believe it but Lennon said yesterday when he was in wales that he would have to mortgage the club to finance the transfer, seems like an odd statement to make. If he comes it's only going to get better...:) Hail Hail. {Ed007's Note - Look, for the last time, when is this "past"? It is his past, present and future that have caused and continue to cause him ALL of his problems. He is a disgrace and should never be near CFC or any other club for that matter. I would actually like to know where these stories originate from. He was training with Newcastle today and any meeting would have taken place at Lennoxtown I would imagine (most players know Celtic Park so they would want to see the rest of the facilities, where they will spend the majority of their time). In this day and age there is not one picture of him in Glasgow to back up this pathetic story. The sooner he signs for someone else the better for everyone in football except for the club that is unfortunate enough to sign him.}

Hi ed, i thought this site was about expressing opinions. all this guy has done has express his opinion and you have shot him down in flames as if hes not allowed to have a positive comment about joey barton. the way you react to everyones comments that you disagree with is exactly like a little boy who owns the football in the street and because hes not winning he takes his ball away so the rest of the boys cant play.

this guy has respected your opinion so you should respect his without making out as if your opinion cannot be wrong. you cannot guarantee that joey barton would not be a success at celtic and at the end of the day what level of football did you play at in order to make out as if your opinion of a player should be taken into account above someone elses. yes there are some problem childs in professional football but some of them go on to prove people wrong. eric cantona was a madman before he came to england, was a madman when he came to england and still is a madman but alex ferguson put all thatto one side because he got the bestout of him on the park. Roy Keane was probably the best midfielder the premiership has seen but how often did controversy surround him. again he did it on the pitch. both of these example were outspoken and said and did what they felt was right. joey barton is sticking up to these people at a club he has feelings for. I would much rather have a joey barton at my club who i knowwould give 100% every week and who aint afraid to get hurt than an embarrassment like georgis samaras who is a coward, afraid to tackle, jumps out of 50/50 challenges and has 1 good game in every 15. yes joey barton might have issues but he is passionate and a winner. he has had and still has the potential to be a nutter and a problem but also the potential to be an outstanding footballer that wears his heart on his sleeve. maradona, zidane, george best, they all had problems, baggage etc would u have turned them away from celtic? i doubt it. so respect other peoples comments as you would like yours to be respected. i despise reading your views on things you dont agree with because you turn it into ed's right all the time and dont say otherwise. u maybe right, joey barton might be the worst thing celtic done, he might be the best thing to happen to the club in neil lennons reign, we might never get the chance to find out but we might. u never know.

it will be interesting to see if you post this lol, sorry if u take it personal but just my observation. {doirebhoy} {Ed007's Note -For a start, the post said he was at Celtic Park since 5.30, was he? After that it was the posters opinion, I gave mine. If you agree with it that is fine, if you don't that is also fine, but like the poster I am entitled to it and I as I continually have said I know a lot more that I can not say for legal reasons. There is no proof of CFC talking to him and even if they were they would struggle to meet the financial demands of Barton. Everyones opinions are welcome on here and respected, but when it comes to people actually getting excited over someone like that wearing The Hoops then no, sorry, I am not prepared to sit and have CFCs name tarnished by a thug and bully who I would actually class as a worse human being than Diouf. The only time I am abrupt with anyone is when it is warranted, and as for not letting others express their opinions, surely I would just delete posts that I do not agree with? The majority of Rangers fans that come on come on for some banter and can accept that I am obviously going to wind them up. I enjoy a laugh and a joke as much as anyone but when seriousness is required I am more than capable of that also. To see CFC fans actually wanting Barton at CFC goes against the very principles and morals that the club has stood for in the course of its entire history.}

You may be a new poster, but gonna read the other posts before you start, the Ed on here allows all types of crap. He will listen to reasoned debate, then give his opinion. If you don't like it..........don't post

But gonnyno come on here and dictate to folk

ps Eric was a genuis before and after he came to england
