First time post, love the site well done to everyone. Seen Patrick Roberts changed his twitter name to 7 from 27. Hopefully this is a sign that at long last someone to wear the iconic jersey that really deserves it.

Hail Hail!

Ed, with VVD moving this summer for a huge amount of £££ does that kinda mean that we will get Roberts for free excluding his wage obv over the time he is at Celtic. If VVD goes for a reported 60 million or more and we have a 10% sell on surly Wee Paddy won't cost more than 6 million? If I am correct not a bad player for free 😂! Hope all Eds and Fellow posters are doing well ☺️. HH.

{Ed007's Note - All good here, Michael cheers. It's 10% of Southampton's profit so it'll be just shy of £6 million we get but I agree that £6 million would be a fair price and it would be even better if we did kind of get him for nothing.}

Here ed isn't that what happened when we signed commons. Kenny millers move to the mob paid for that?

Agree0 Disagree0

{Ed007's Note - Now you say that I do remember something about that at the time, Kev but I couldn't say for certain if it's true or not. Anyone else remember this story at the time?}

05 Jun 2017 21:15:51
I'd like to have thought we would have been willing to pay the money for Paddy without VVD being sold but surely an extra £5-6m in the coffers would make certain.

Agree0 Disagree0

{Ed007's Note - I'd like to think so as well, Kev.}

Roberts has changed his twitter from patrickroberts27 to patrickroberts7.

getting to the group stages would more than justify the layout.

Agree0 Disagree0

I know i am against all these ridiculous wages that they get paid down in England, but there is no way Roberts can end up at Parkhead, unless he takes a huge drop in wages or Celtic start paying even more ridiculous wages, well i just don't think it will happen, because money talks.

Agree0 Disagree1

06 Jun 2017 16:48:19
I think it will take more than £6mill to get Paddy. Also think he wants to try and get into Man City squad so if we get him i don't think he will be here for CL qualifiers.

Agree0 Disagree0

Now that it looks like Liverpool have won the race for big Virgil, it must be a certainty that we will draw them in the group stages of champions league!

Believable0 Unbelievable0

{Ed007's Note - They still need to qualify with some tough potential opponents like Sporting Lisbon, Steaua Bucharest, CSKA Moscow, Nice or a horrible away trip to play Istanbul Basaksehir. Fingers crossed they get humped!}

05 Jun 2017 19:55:24
Any idea which pot we will be in ed? (Assuming we make the group stage)

Agree0 Disagree0

{Ed007's Note - If all the seeded teams qualify we'll be in Pot 4, we need 3 out of 6 teams above us to fail in qualifiers for us to move up to Pot 3.}

05 Jun 2017 21:26:04
Did Man Utd winning the Europa ment we went into Pot 3 Ed?

Agree0 Disagree0

{Ed007's Note - Was it not if Ajax won it? Three out of Seville, Liverpool, Ajax, Dynamo Kyiv, Napoli or Olympiakos need to be knocked out during qualifying for Celtic to make it into Pot 3.}

05 Jun 2017 22:01:53
Hope not Ed I was wanting a Man Utd win as I'm sure I read it put us in Pot 3! Can't stand Mourinho.

Agree0 Disagree0

{Ed007's Note - What are you going to do if Jose takes over from St Brendan of The Invincible Treble in a few years? :-D

Ed I'm looking for a bit of help. I've been asked by the nuns the Sisters of Mary to auction or raffle a signed framed copy of the 67 verse poem celebrating the Lisbon Lions by Thomas PC Craven to raise funds for them. He donated it to them. They're Schoenstatt sisters based in Campsie not far from Celtics training ground at Lennoxtown. It's approximately 3 1/ 2 ft x 2 1/ 2 ft. Any ideas if there's anything we could do through the forum? Any help would be very much appreciated. Thanks Ed.

Believable1 Unbelievable0

{Ed007's Note - I've never heard of the poem or the author mate but I would say that a raffle is a better bet as it allows everyone a chance a win it. Post a pic on the sightings page and we'll go from there (yes)

Mad Tam has written many a poem he's well known in my area he's written a few Celtic poems.

Agree0 Disagree0

05 Jun 2017 19:38:04
Ed I've uploaded a picture of the 67 verse poem in tribute to The Lisbon n Lions and think it's the man that wrote it himself with it. The Sisters of Mary would really appreciate it if for the troops were able to raise some cash through it. They're struggling a bit and you'll never support a better cause guys. The nuns st Lennoxtown are fantastic. Really appreciate anything you could do Ed. Thank you. ☘️.

{Ed007's Note - Good man. Ed033 will get that up and we'll get the ball rolling.}

05 Jun 2017 20:09:36
Top man Ed. God Bless ☘️.

{Ed007's Note - (yes)

05 Jun 2017 21:32:08
JFP I'm up there a lot and wasn't aware they were struggling it's a fantastic place to go and gather your thoughts. Glad you told us will need to make a donation.

Agree0 Disagree0

05 Jun 2017 22:22:20
Great stuff Campsie Bhoy. The sisters their are my heroes. Let's see what Ed comes up with by way of raising some cash for the poem. Maybe see you up their sometime. Theirs mass every Sunday of the month after the 18th at 3pm. Ask one of the sisters for jfp fae Airdrie! ☘️.

I have been allowing myself to get a bit deflated recently by getting swept up in the end of season media (and fan) frenzy to sell our best players. All that on the back of our best domestic season in my lifetime.

After giving myself a talking to I realised that our squad is still intact. MD is still here and has made no noises about leaving. We could potentially secure PR permanently if a fee can be agreed. SA is on the verge of signing a new deal. BR has confirmed MD will be here for the qualifiers. We also KE sitting on the bench having been eased into life at the club. I expect bigger things from him this season.

I would also expect quite a few fringe players to go a couple of decent signings to come in. We will go into the qualifiers strong. I'm not about to panic yet.

You're getting deflated after one of our best seasons in recent times? For some people there is little or no hope. HH.

Did you read past deflated Bob?

Agree0 Disagree0

06 Jun 2017 16:21:04
I did and I thought by now no Celtic fan would get elated or deflated by what the media write about our players . The MSSM will tell lies about us on a daily basis.

this site is mental at times wtf does everyone expect. we've just won the treble for only the 4th time in our history, gone undefeated and on course for ten in a row. these are great times to be a tim.
european ambition for us as a club should be just to try not get hammered evry game perhaps at best get last 16 ( i like my pissups abroad btw)
demebele well he came to us to play and will only leave to play yes he's our player but why hold the lad to ransom he couldve gone spurs before us for plenty of money but didn't as as far as im concerned done us a right good turn with some great memories and wil leave us with plenty in the bank.
enjoy it troops in brendan we trust.

Problem is welsbhoy history shows the board go into pennypinching mode when we get some success/ dominance. eg oneill money first 2 seasons then 1 player signed (money) after 2002.pearson 300_500000 (I think) . all others where loans or boys. can't slate them just now though until we see summer recruitment / departures.

Agree0 Disagree3

05 Jun 2017 09:27:23
Spot on Welshboy. a lot of hysteria because we haven't signed anyone yet when the season ended a mere 1 week ago. In advanced talks with City for Roberts. calm down everyone let them sign 35 year olds and players from Aberdeen all they want😂😂😂.

Agree2 Disagree1

05 Jun 2017 10:53:58
Well seen there no fitba on WB an result your sober to post something spot on mate

I don't think we need much any young hungry striker looking to play and make headlines must be looking at us with a view to perform not only play

As I said I would be happy to take the monies for differing s for MD and CG

BR is on record of saying he is looking for "quality" additions let's let them enjoy a holiday a well deserved holiday at that (y)

Agree0 Disagree2

05 Jun 2017 13:37:10
Well said welshbhoy think there are some in out support out and out glory hunters, I'd be happy just keeping this team together with an addition only if better than what we have, record breaking points total, record goals and still not happy, does my tits in.

05 Jun 2017 22:27:52
Our support are wonderful and very vocal when everything is going well. Manager, captain and team members are enjoying great praise and wonderful respect . Even P Lawwell and D D and rest of the board are equally held in good regard .
To my thinking this high esteem is well placed and fully deserved .
Sometimes we can quickly turn on some of our valued employees . Before B R came Lawwell was at the end of several blogs and articles criticising him . I wonder were they deserved, most criticism was about him playing too big a role in recruiting players, my concerns are did he demand or want this greater input, or did the board as a whole impose Lawwell with this responsibility because they didn't trust anyone else . B Rodgers demanded and seems to have a far bigger input on players coming and going, as well as extending players contracts and we the supporters are happier .

Good to see u alive Union Jack, I thought that maybe you suffered delayed shock and died about 5 years after your cheating club .
U will be delighted that Pedro began training today with 3 Hail Marys and a sprinkling of Holy water .
