Celtic banter 3

23 Apr 2024 14:18:38
Regardless of all that we supporters say Celtic will not come out and question any decision made with regards to officials in charge of our games. Even the SMSM who can see the same collusion that we can write nothing or call us paranoid we'll with no official at uero 24 obviously Uefa can see that they are all sub standard. My money is on Sevco financially unstable and the establishment hoping to clear their debt. Or someone has£20 quid on sevco doing the treble.

23 Apr 2024 15:03:38
I agree, and when they saw the injury and recruitment problems we had since the start of the season, they fancied their chances.
This would have been boosted by our inconsistency in the first half of the season and some very controversial intervention at Tynecastle and Ibrox to guide the points away from Celtic.
Add to that the amount of crucial penalties awarded to Sevco and the rotation of a small band of selected officials hand picked to try and influence games and you can see a pattern of manipulation.

23 Apr 2024 13:53:19
. No Scottish Referee's at Euro 2024 as it clashes with marching season.

23 Apr 2024 14:30:03
UEFA were concerned that even if they were on VAR they would still try to award a penalty to the rangers. 🤣🤣🤣

Sad indictment of Scottish referees, even with twice the number of officials required SFA has NONE not 1 official involved. Enough said.

23 Apr 2024 15:30:24
I just seen we also have none at the Olympics. The Solomon island's have an offical picked! SFA and Crawford Alan in hiding.

23 Apr 2024 16:32:18
Just shows everyone what Eufa think of the standard of the officials in Scotland.

23 Apr 2024 12:29:34
The SFA are being serious in the run in Cheating as ref and baby Dallas on Var for the Dundee game how predictable.

23 Apr 2024 13:13:00
Yet WC hasn't had a league game since that mobs complaint.

23 Apr 2024 20:05:46
With Celtic once again playing after Sevco, appointing notoriously biased 'officials' sends out a clear message of intent.

23 Apr 2024 12:25:42
If celtic can NOT see what the rest of us can and do nothing about it well he'll mend them. Time to take them to task don't do it privately do it publicly , grandstanding works for them about time we went public still no collum at greyskull yet we get Beaton, Robertson and Dallas rammed down our throat, time to grow a pair celtic or are you waiting on the supporters doing for you.

23 Apr 2024 13:03:15
I've said several times before it's tantamount to attempted match fixing and why Celtic have accepted this cheating is incredible.

23 Apr 2024 14:28:24
Drews163. If both the Board and our supporters worked together to highlight the anti Celtic pro Sevco bias, I think we would be able to mount a far stronger case
Surely both supporters and Board should work together to foil what
Onceabhoy4 correctly claims amounts to match fixing .
This is far too important to try to point score or leave to someone else.

23 Apr 2024 14:31:55
Even UEFA knows, no refs involved at all in Euros even though this tournament requires more due to VAR.

23 Apr 2024 16:35:19
Wee Des
The problem with your statement unfortunately is that you mentioned The Board, until there is a total overhaul at boardroom level there won't be anything done as the current board just accepted everything that the SFA throw at us.

24 Apr 2024 12:38:36
Jonbhoy, At this point in time we have the Board . This Board has evolved over the last 20 yrs or so . The Board are not going away and certainly until us supporters are able to put together a credible alternative, we are going to be stuck with them . No amount of dissatisfaction with Board by us supporters will achieve anything, until we have alternative finance ready to move in .
We haven’t even a notion of level of hatred and wanting rid of the Board exists amongst the 60 to 80k that frequently attends our games either every home game or 6 - 10 games a season.

23 Apr 2024 11:16:06
Feelgood day yesterday.
In Glasgow waiting for a bus on Sunday, so went for a wee wander.
Down by Wellington Lane I saw what looked like a card holder on ground.
Picked it up and seen it was full of cards (bank, licence etc.
It also had 2 Celtic season ticket passes.
Called Parkhead, left a contact detail, and, long story short, they got the owner who came by my house and collected his property.
A very relieved, grateful and happy chappie went on his way.

23 Apr 2024 11:40:41
Brilliant TinyTim, good guy. 👍🍀.

23 Apr 2024 12:06:40
What would you have done if it was Sevco ST 🤔😂.

23 Apr 2024 12:35:14
Wiped his number two's with them.

23 Apr 2024 22:45:46
Troy, tbh, the same thing.
I have my standards.

23 Apr 2024 07:38:46
I saw Dermot Desmond was photographed in an Irish pub in Italy watching the semi final on Saturday.

Hopefully he is taking an active role in our recruitment and was over trying to get us some Italian maestros for next season
👍.

23 Apr 2024 08:36:47
I have honestly no idea what he does regarding Celtic - apart from appointing certain managers.

23 Apr 2024 08:53:37
As long as he hasn't done any of the scouting himself.

22 Apr 2024 19:04:24
Thats as bad as av seen our back 4 on Saturday hopefully that's it out the road and we kick on. its Been a funny old season with not much consistency.

22 Apr 2024 19:55:31
Celtic have only won 6 league games in a row this season and that was back in September and October, just before the Board banned our own fans.
Celtic can only equal that amount if we win our last 5 league matches.

The Green Brigade and our other Ultras have now been back for our last 19 matches and Celtic have only lost ONCE to Hearts at Tynecastle in that period.

Maybe it was only a coincidence, that Celtic lost 10 points in 10 league games without Our Ultras present.

22 Apr 2024 20:36:16
It was no coincidence. They were sorely missed. 🇮🇪🍀.

23 Apr 2024 08:45:14
It certainly was a factor, but to be honest far too many of the players have either been injured or have played below their best and we rarely keep clean sheets or 'blow teams away' like in the previous seasons. The poor recruitment and cover in key areas has also obviously affected our consistency. We will need a big improvement on Saturday for sure, to finish the season successfully.

23 Apr 2024 14:37:05
Onceabhoy 4 The biggest minority Shareholder should not necessarily be seen to do anything because the facts are he hasn’t the power to do anything . We can blame him when he does wrong, unlikely as it may seem we can praise him when he does right . But remember although he owns more shares than anyone else, he still has to have Board approval before he does anything .
He wanted to prevent Ange leading team out before Cup Final in May but the rest of the Board stopped him .
He is most powerful man in Celtic, but doesn’t always get his way .

22 Apr 2024 18:01:06
5 years ago today we said farewell to Celtic Football Club's greatest ever captain, Billy McNeil.

A one club man, his achievements and accolades cemented his place in Celtic's rich history as both a player and as a manager.

The pinnacle being that he was the first British player to lift the European Cup along with his fellow Lisbon lions in 1967.

Hail Cesar 🙏

22 Apr 2024 19:06:57
I'm getting old, I would have sworn it was only 1 or 2 years since Caesar's passing.

22 Apr 2024 09:39:16
Ano a lot will disagree with me but a think Miovski is a must in the summer, sum will think we can do btr but can we. He tore us apart most games he's played and them. £4/ 5m no brainer for me.

22 Apr 2024 11:03:59
Maybe use Scales as part of the deal.

22 Apr 2024 11:22:42
If we want a proven goalscorer then shankland is the no brainer as he scores more goals than miovski?

22 Apr 2024 12:08:12
Miovski is a far better player than Shankland.

22 Apr 2024 12:24:29
I'd be surprised if Celtic bid for either, although I would add that at least Miovski scored in a high profile semi-final, whereas, Shankland predictably did not yesterday.

22 Apr 2024 12:27:50
Shankland is as slow as a snail.

22 Apr 2024 12:49:39
NO way we should sign Shankland he wouldn't turn up against Sevco or Tarts.

22 Apr 2024 12:49:50
A lot of Shankland's goals are from penalties.

22 Apr 2024 14:06:26
I thought we could do better than Miovski but after Saturday we could do worse! His runs are first class and gave our defenders a sore time. Glad when he went off!

22 Apr 2024 14:29:30
If I had to choose it would be Miovski, better all round player and with better players supplying him with chances could easily see him scoring 25 -35 goals during a season in our team.

22 Apr 2024 14:45:59
It would depend on Aberdeens valuation and if he wanted a move out of Scotland. If it was around 5million we should buy him.

22 Apr 2024 15:07:28
Gllen made good point use Scales as a bargaining tool but a think BR rates him.

22 Apr 2024 15:12:30
Miovski would be my 1st choice.
He can also score penalties.

22 Apr 2024 15:40:10
Realistically guys, say up to £10m valuation who do yous think is the best options out ther 1s that would actually have a chance of getting.

22 Apr 2024 17:36:08
I'm more looking ahead to next season and the CL, I know Miovski has scored 4 in 7 games for Aberdeen in Europe.
Do we think he would do it for us in Europe and would he play before Kyogo as I can't see him coming here to sit on the bench.

22 Apr 2024 18:17:44
Kyogo Furuhashi could possibly get a transfer to another team, Miovski a younger player and would be the No 1 striker at Celtic.

22 Apr 2024 18:40:53
On Miovski,

he's clearly not Henrik but it's hard not to think that given his scoring record this season at a bottom 6 club, he'd score for fun in a Celtic team.

He offers something very different to Kyogo and perhaps, depending on the game, both could play at the same time. 🤔

Offering scales isn't a bad shout as that would kill two birds with one stone but in no way do I see him as a gamble as he ticks a lot of boxes and has already demonstratedhe knows where the goal is.

☘️ 🍀 ☘️.

22 Apr 2024 19:08:06
The question we need to ask is who would you sign in the summer.

A. Idah

B. Miovski

C. Someone else.

22 Apr 2024 19:23:09
Miovski for main striker, and see if we can get a deal with Norwich for Idah.

22 Apr 2024 19:34:02
Weejoe, it's a good question.

I'd imagine it very much depends on who option 'C' might be?

If it were a highly rated striker then it could be option C plus A or B to go alongside our No.8.

I think the majority of supporters would agree that OH NO needs to GO as he brings nothing to the party.

Kyogo, Miovski and Idah would not be a bad set 9f strikers to have on the books given the goals they scored collectively this season 👍


☘️ 🍀 ☘️.

22 Apr 2024 20:22:48
B for me Weejoe.

22 Apr 2024 20:43:35
Would not be surprised in the least if we went Scandinavian for a striker, as clearly they know how to breed them. Henrik, Haaland, Hojlund etc. Forget about Miovski - the sheep won't sell to one of their competitors - as per Cormack with his alleged comment.

22 Apr 2024 22:55:32
To me it all comes down to cost.

Are we willing to pay 5-6 million for either of the players?

23 Apr 2024 06:06:42
Put Kyogo, Idah, oh, in an Aberdeen or hearts team playing most mins of every game against teams that look to play against you and not low block and all score as many as Shanklin and miovski, of the 2 I’d want miovski and they would be to come off the bench.

if we want a new striker, we need to be looking at better quality. eddy was a loan fee followed by a hefty price there’s no reason while Kyogo still in building we aren’t using same method to find a striker, yes there’s an argument that we developing other teams players, but top teams are littered with youngsters that won’t kick a ball for them.

jota, eddy are proven examples of the method perhaps Bernardo will be also, ntcham, frimpong great examples also of types of player available from top young teams, we should sell that pathway to young talent while developing some Scottish players and making sure we have some experience about, we should have money to ensure our core team has quality.

23 Apr 2024 14:47:01
Tory blue, is likely to be right in saying Shankland wouldn’t try if playing for us against Sevco or Hearts.
I wouldn’t be happy selling Kyogo whilst buying anyone . I like Pedro’s idea of having Miovski ( or better) Kyogo and Idah to start next season .
I would be against trading Scales in order to get any striker even Aberdeen’s Miovski. Too often in the past Board has insisted we sell a cb or someone before we bring in a replacement. I have often seen us get our fingers burned as we find out over time the player we replaced was better than the player we bought to replace him.

22 Apr 2024 08:58:23
Sly saying all the refs in the top division have to declare the club they support before the season starts. imagine that up here 😭.

22 Apr 2024 09:40:47
Aye and if they're in a lodge or an order etc.

22 Apr 2024 09:52:33
They will just say they support their local team, that's Sevco refs way out im afraid: (.

22 Apr 2024 12:28:17
Would never happen up here, as even if they admiited their allegiance there would only be 5% of the lot, eligible to do Sevco games.

22 Apr 2024 17:37:28
Scotland are the only country in Europe where the refs don't have to admit there allegiance's.

23 Apr 2024 14:57:05
I think naming the club they have allegiances to probably works in England, Ireland, and Europe as referees and VAR Officials are in these countries basically decent people . In Scotland our refs and VAR Officials are hand picked from a small area of Country noted for its number of Orange lodges and strength of Masons . These people bear allegiances to their own people and not the wider Community. To ask them to list their preferred Football club would be unlikely to receive an honest answer.
