I grew up watching paddy McCourt every Friday night at the brandywell for Derry city and I was wandering why doesn't he get many starts for Celtic? He's great on the ball and can beat players with complete ease!

Caolán.

You ain't watched many CELTIC game's when Paddy was playing then?

Maybe he was better back then cause he only beats his man once in ever five tries. He is not good enough for Celtic and is not a complete player/lazy, I hope we get rid of him soon so we can use the money and spot on a better player or give it to a youth player cause thy would give a lot more effort. C-Bhoy

He looks like he smokes 40 a day.....

Outgrown his time at celtic. Ska bhoy

When I first saw him, I hoped he would become a real star as he did beat men with ease and scored some great goals. He reminded me of Johnny Doyle, Joe Miller and even Charlie Nicholas at times; however he is lazy and loses possession too much and opponents can now read him too easily and sadly he has failed to improve and establish himself under 3 different managers.
It's a great pity as we all love to see Celtic supporters in the Hoops.

Jungle Jim

I alright Paddy we know you posted that yourself lol

As a fellow irishman caola'n i hoped for the best also but this was just a step up to far in my honest opinion, he did show the odd spark that prompted celtic to buy him in the first place but unfortunatly for the reasons mentioned above it wasn't to be
onwards and upwards ..HH Goreybhoy

I am indeed live 25 mins from derry I think give paddy a proper chance he has been brilliant at times and no one can say he hasn't!

Caolán.

Lazy, Not fit, plays 90 mins misses the next lot of games, not good enough for Celtic should have been shipped out last season.

Ed just like to wish Andreas Hinkel all the best after he announced his retirement aged 30. I was always a fan of his in the hoops.

Hail hail

CeltStu {Ed007's Note - I was shocked when I seen that earlier Stu. I thought he was a good player. It was only because of cost-cutting we let his contract run down, it wasn't a footballing decision. Best wishes to him.}

I know for a fact that Lenny disliked him as a player. I usually ridicule these sort of posts but I sat next to him when he was talking to agents in the Marriott after the dinamo Moscow game and he said he was a bottler.

Junglebhoy33

You sat next to who? Hinkel was a fantastic player and Lenny never said any such thing. I know Neil very well and he was sorry to see him go, both of them and Thommo came to the opening of my mates pub *********** in Bothwell just before Hinkel left. Its well known his wages were the problem and how do you know they were football agents? A manager isn't going to tell football agents anything like that.Total bulls***e.

I'm not claiming to be some in the know guy, all I'm saying is I sat on the table next to Neil Lennon and he was criticising hinkel for being a bottler.

Regarding Greens latest rant to keep the peepil onside,do you think the SFA/SPL are reaping what they sowed for allowing this history continues myth to perpetuate? On the other hand why is Green so dead set on confrontation at the drop of a hat? Im sure we all have our theories............. green jhedi

Green has absolutely no interest in the outcome of this investigation.

He sees this as the ideal opportunity to gain more support from the loyal muppets prior to his share issue.

Suggesting some SPL board members have influenced the SPL's decision to carry out this investigation is pathetic. Bomber Brown has more dignity.

K-Dot.

Ive never heard so much tosh as green spouted today, it was incoherent, rambling and contradictive. how can the newco take legal action in support of sanctions on the oldco ? that's tantamount to admitting the whole thing is a fraud designed to avoid debt, and nobody thinks that do they ? they seem afraid that unless they keep the rabble rousing going the fans might realise their paying for third rate crap. if he bought titles won by cheating, he has been done. like buying a ringer car.

Why would you care what they do? You're supposed to be Celtic fans. Should be concentrating on Celtic and their plights other than any other team. But then again, some fans will never change?! BB

Firstly, Green is either pandering to the lowest commen denomenator or planning his exit, I cant decide. Secondly its a little ironic that a Rangers fan is on a Celtic site telling us to concentrate on our own team. Thirdly, I do care becuase if they cheated as a Scottish football supporter who pays to watch games then I am the victim of the cheating.

Pedro

Because the team we support has been cheated for over a decade by pond life

The reason we care about this subject is the nagging feeling that if we dont make a fuss and see this thing through to the end, it wont be dealt with properly. Charles Green in his statement today has as good as admitted there is a case to be answered, not that anyone doubted it to be honest. We want justice, incase you forgot we were the team finishing second while they were giving there players illegal side contracts. CHEATING! I want this finished with but not until the titles they won unfairly be made null and void.

You have your agenda and i have mine BB

Maybe you have a short memory and dont remember that pain of losing those titles mate. Dont knock us for it.

I do not think its has been very responsible of Green/McCoist/Jardine to make the Newco out to be victims in this debacle considering the limited amount of brain cells some football fans have. Its about time they were hauled back in by the SFA and told to put a sock in it.

So Rogne has been offered a new contract but on reduced terms than his excisting contract? Did I not hear Lenny say we would reward players with new contracts with better wages? CL money in, ki money in, hardly anything spent during the window and a lot of dead wood off the wage bill and we're offering a great young international defender less money, really starting to wonder wtf is going on at Celtic park!

Green surfer

I think you may have picked this up wrongly. I thing his offer was not as good as Gary or Victor's ne offers. It was not at reduced terms.

Tbh mate,i dont think rognes anything special.artybhoy

PL and DD got a hell of a lot of questions to answer over this transfer window,again wondering who is buying the players,dont be blind or fooled as to what is going on Celtic Park!

Rogne has been injured for most of his time at celtic, he is good but I think because of all the injuries nl/pl or whoever has not seen all he has to offer. Come on ppl, he has been injured and you guys think he deserves a pay hike? Don't know how much he makes but it's just business, you get paid for what you have done and how you help the club. I do like him and hope we keep him.
Yes the transfer window was not what we would have likes but I think the board is holding out the money in order to spend next year as it will be harder to get into cl. Let's give them a break this year for it is a new situation in spl and see what they do this year and if they don't spend next year then I think we could let them have it.

As much as i rate Rogne he is always injured. So to be honest we have to be safe when giving him a new contract.
Paderbhoy

Hes played 38 league games in two and a half seasons and I would think never started more that 5 in a row.
15 or so games a season means he has a lot to prove in fitness and consistency before he should be even thinking about pay rise.

He hasnt been offered reduced terms he has been offered a rise but the rise is less than the wages the likes of kelvin wilson are on that is his moan

I wouldn't give him better terms, yeah he is decent but no where near the player he should be, too injury and accident prone. If he wants to stay at Celtic he needs to knuckle down and prove he is worth a pay rise.

He's not shown to be worth a pay rise in my eyes. An extended contract, yes. But a pay rise, no. It's up to him to show he's worth a pay rise now, and to do that he has to fill one of two or three cb positions, continually, and a good job of it too.

Ed, got any ideas when single champions league tickets will go on general sale if at all?

Nothing posted about it on celtic website

Any ideas how much they will cost aswell?

Cheers bhoys {Ed007's Note - It looks like there won't be a sale of single tickets and if there is it will be a minimal amount.}

Think they are all just about gone mate. The few left will go on sale tomorrow at 9am.

just been clearing out my vbox recordings i had nothing left of my 80 hours, and came across the greatest ever scotland team. some of it i agreed with but there was one stand out that should never ever have been there. this was definitely the heart ruling the head. i dont' say this to in anyway denigrate or sully his memory, i honestly don't. but davie cooper as a predominately left side midfield/ winger would not have gotten into the best ever rangers team. i am old enough to remember davie wilson and willie johnston, and both were better. .. celtic have had more than their fair share of trgically young deaths, just like davie.. john thomson,, phil odonnell,, johnny doyle,, charlie gallacher ,,and yes tommy burns,, would i let any of the into the greatest ever celtic team , no. that would be to let a heavy heart rule an empty head. davie cooper was a very good player, yes a brilliant piece of skill to score against us in that cup final and big and brave enough to step up for a penalty against wales, . truely brave under the circumstances.. what else??? davie himself was a quiet shy guy and would have been embarrassed to have been put before the likes of bobby lennox.. he scorede about 6/7 goals a season and for the last five years of his time at rangers he warmed the bench because kevin ted mcminn or mark walters were the preferred choice . greatest ever scotland winger , sorry but no, god bless and r.i.p. davie.. shamrock

I would throw into the mix eddie gray{leeds} and john robertson{ notts for}. shamrock

Can I throw in Tommy Hutchison,Gordon Smith(before my time) and I think Willie Morgan could play left or right. Wingers by nature are a bit inconsistant so have their good and bad days.

Was that programme not about scotlands greatest team though? If so, u should be comparing cooper to players in his position who played great for scotland, not their club side. Like you said, cooper had the bottle against wales and from what i have seen of him in a scotland top it wasnt a one off good performance, he did it a few times on our way to world cups/euros. Did any of the rest mentioned perform well at that level?

Not a rumour but Press believe if you hate the sevco,.,.kbarry

Press believe if you think its people like the op that drag scotland down??

Who??

Gavla

Why focus on them... SERIOUSLY!

Support the hoops, let them die in the third.

Linnie88

Come on kevin this type of behaviour should be left in the school yard...

Ed.I am a Celtic man through and through, have been for 34 years. That said why are you allowing this rubbish to be posted. I like many other Celtic fans are not interested in hatred. {Ed007's Note - Nobody is forcing you to read it and anonymous opinions don't carry much weight. Oh and it wasn't me that posted it, there are other Eds.}

Just some wee t!t with nothing better to do with his time.WHO CARES ABOUT THEM.
Tambhoy ( original )

Anonymous opinions don't carry much weight and i am not bein forced to read it, fair enough this will be the last time I will be back on this website, I don't come on here to read rubbish like what was posted about hating seveco or whatever they are called. I come on here to read the thoughts and opinions of other like minded Celtic fans. {Ed007's Note - Kbarry is a CFC fan who posted his thought and asked others opinions which you said you came here to read. Maybe people don't come here to read whinging rubbish like you post and if you only want to read 'like minded Celtic fans' why are you not girning about The Rangers fans that post? Surely that would annoy a die hard like yourself even more. Bye, I will tell the Eds to keep an eye out for you when you go back to The Rangers' site.}

Hi iam the OP i was just bored i really dont do much hating in life generally, i was just experimenting to see how many currants read the celtic page,having a personal laugh although their are some real pc minded celtic people also, yes i dont like rangers or what they stand for(although i do have a lot of currant friends)but honestly didnt mean to upset my own.oh and by the way tambhoy ill take you for a pint in bairds or the brazen if you want?,.,.kbarry

No bother kbarry Just got out my pram a bit,sorry for losing it but it doe's annoy me when people talk about hatred. I don't hate anyone.Like to have a laugh at them right enough but just a bit of banter. Cheer's for the offer.
