Well done to our U20 team who beat Sevco's young team (thought every player was over 30 there ha ha) 2-0
If we win on Thursday against Dundee United we win league, although I would imagine the Tannadice team's under 20's will be difficult to beat going on their so called "big" team which is full of under 20's.

They will be difficult enough, but Dundee United have nothing to win in under 20's but they wouldn't want to lose a player through injury that would be in the Cup Final team .

Just wondered what players are out of contract this summer?

{Ed007's Note - Kris Commons, Dylan McGeouch, Steven Mouyokolo, Samaras and Lewis Toshney off the top of my head.}

Would like to see commons and mcgeouch get a new contract

Cheers ed just wasn't sure since all people seemed to talk about was Sammy being out of contract!

{Ed007's Note - No worries mate. I'm on my laptop now so you can add Bahrudin Atajic, Patrik Twardzik and Darnell Fisher to the list.}

So our YPOTY, Darnell Fisher, is free to walk away for nout at this present moment? Not only this but we're financially sound yet our manager is welcoming bids for his best before the window even opens by saying things like "there might be a bit of a turnover in terms of players". What a joke our club has become!

Agreed, I like wee Fisher and will be pretty pissed off if he leaves for nothing. I know we have 2 good rbs as it is but I'd move lusting into cb and keep mattews and Fisher for rb. Move Ambrose in a cdm role. I'd also like to see us make a move for Fabian giefer who plays in the bundesligua 2 to replace big Frazer the lad has potential.

Surely its a honest but nothing statement to make, that there may be a big turnover of players in the summer
I don't think that anyone could reasonably interpret that Fisher was necessary in Lennon's mind when he made the statement .

ED007 can you please inform ED001 that most Celtic fans know that there is NO Old Firm anymore as Rangers died, therefore poll is irrelevant.
The Celtic fans have bigger fish to fry in the CL, as that is our main objective every season.

{Ed001's Note - then why is it you are all so sadly obsessed we had to put up a page especially for all your obsessive rantings about Rangers on here? Give it a rest Tim. As for the objective, you might want to tell your board that, as they do not invest for the Champions League level players. Your objective is clearly just to qualify for the group stages and bank some money.}

Sadly, numero uno here has nailed it to a T. Not just about the way we operate. The attitude of our fans though. The ones who go on the most about Rangers not being our rivals, well, they're the people most obsessed. New club or not, they're clearly still very much in the minds of a lot of folk for some reason.

Hear, hear Ed001.

Its the same ones posting about that mob day in, day out. Couldn't care less about them yet all we see on a regular basis is sh*t jokes about them and some reference to them posted.

Regardless of the he said/she said, the original point is wrong anyway.

The poll isn't irrelevant.

People can miss Father Ted, without arguing as to whether or not Dermot Morgan really died.

The fact the highlight of the Scottish football calendar was a Celtic v Rangers youth game (for some anyway) kinda sums it all up.

Seen the other day an argument about sandpits and stickers, I could not even be bothered looking into the cause of it. What other football club has these cringeworthy issues and how is this in anyway football related? Most argue/debate about whether players have been replaced, who our strongest weakest players etc.

My Son misses that Old Firm games and the competition – I know its not any fault of Celtic’s that the situation is what it is and the way the Ibrox Club has conducted itself recently has been an abomination no doubt about it.

I do not know the share price of Celtic never mind Rangers and I do not care what they call themselves and have no idea why some are hell bent with the word 'sevco' – they have registered themselves as something else and it contains the word Rangers. Rangers fans don't care if you call them Sevco, they've been called worse.

As long as I have been alive, they have been our biggest rivals and that does not go away overnight – no matter where they play.

ED001 as this is a banter site, we are all allowed different opinions which makes these sites so good. I think you will find most of the posts about the newco are in jest or disbelief at how brazen they are at not acknowledging that a liquidated company is no more, the Scottish msm try and keep the myth alive but everybody, including the dead club themselves know the truth. If BDO ever get round to doing what they are supposed to do as court appointed liquidators then their name and colours will be no more.
When Celtic had our financial troubles many many people wanted our club to die and actively tried to achieve their goal, so I hope you will allow this tim and any others to take amusement at their predicament brought on by their own folly.
They died trying to buy the one thing they could not buy, The European Cup. hail hail

{Ed001's Note - right, that will be why you post so many times a day on the Rangers site then is it Tim? As you obviously aren't that bothered about them, but still make the time to post a number of times a day on a Rangers site. No shame in being obsessed with your closest rivals, even when they aren't challenging you, but there is a shame in being too much of a coward to admit it. Man up mate, no one here will judge you for it, they are all obviously just as obsessed or there would be no need for the Rangers page to have been added on here.


Right now I am going the docs to see about getting my tongue removed from my cheek ;o)

ED001 ha ha I can take it (as long as your tongue stays in YOUR mouth lol)
Yes guilty as charged, I go on wee fishing trips to the dark side for a laugh.
As it is a banter site 001 have they cleaned up all the broken glass down Anfield way with all those bottles crashing (Tim says with HIS tongue in his mouth lol)

{Ed001's Note - I was just wondering if the groundsman appreciated Suarez's attempts to water the pitch after the match for him. Must have saved him a job.}

I don't think it is really fair to say that the objective is just qualify, as last season ( 2012/13 ) we had an exciting and successful Champions League campaign. I look forward to repeating in 2014/2015 season . I would expect that we learned from this season .

Correct me if I'm wrong Chris02, but does this not sound to you like we're only here for a party?

In 2012 he said:

"All the pressure was on the previous two rounds, now our supporters will take the view that it is great to be back and go and enjoy it and see where it takes us.

Last summer he said:

"I think it's the best and the worst draw we could have got. In terms of glamour it doesn't come any better than Barcelona, AC Milan and Ajax but in terms of football it doesn't come any harder. I think the hard work was done [against Shakhter Karagandy], so now we can enjoy it."

That's not the attitude of a large professional sports team in an elite sporting competition, it's the attitude of a bit part diddy team out of their league!
