Celtic Rumours

02 Apr 2020 11:11:23
Robbie Brady and Jeff Hendrick on a double free from Burnley, I think that would be great business, both proven international's with lots of big game experience. a few papers have said it's on the cards, hope so.

02 Apr 2020 11:29:25
Think both will stay in England. Just paper talk because their both irish. Although think they would be decent signings if it did happen.

02 Apr 2020 19:22:59
I can't say I'd be happy with either to be honest.

03 Apr 2020 08:54:01
Both would rip our league.

03 Apr 2020 14:29:27
Both linked with Newcastle also.

03 Apr 2020 16:10:03
I was surprised to read Brady was 28 I thought he was much older.

03 Apr 2020 19:49:15
Does Brady still play every week? Remember he was outstanding a few seasons ago but can't remember seeing him anytime recently. Having said that I don't really watch much of english football anymore.

03 Apr 2020 21:58:50
Brady has played 16 times this season and hendrick 32.

04 Apr 2020 04:23:30
He doesn't AG. Which is why he in particular wouldn't impress me. Hendricks is a work-horse, and that's about it. At times he might have his uses but he'd be one of our higher earners and I don't know who he walks in for. That's not the sort of winger we should be going for.

04 Apr 2020 12:53:51
What would the point be in giving Hayes a new deal if we are interested in Brady? Brady is a LW that can cover RW and LB too. Unless we are cutting our losses on Boli.

05 Apr 2020 00:14:11
If Brady could reach the level he was at a few seasons ago then I'd have him in a heartbeat and I've always liked Hendrick but thought our chance was gone with him when he signed for Burnley. can't remember who he was at before tho also can't be arsed googling it either haha.

01 Apr 2020 02:09:24
Don't know how accurate this is.
But I've been told an announcement tomorrow that the season to be cancelled, next seasons league winners basically win a double league. so basically would be 10 in a row.

Don't really believe it myself to be honest.

01 Apr 2020 11:12:19
how can next seasons winners win a double league by playing one league. this season should be finished at whatever date before they even think about starting next season.

01 Apr 2020 11:14:02
Happy April 1st. That and the leaked images of our new kit being stripes.

01 Apr 2020 12:51:21
This was a rumour started by thogden (youtuber) for april fools. It's not true!

25 Mar 2020 08:42:23
The talk of players wages and capping them at £2500 per month is very interesting. Why not? Maybe these dark days will make us all reconsider the celebrity culture we have embraced whatever a celebrity is and remind players especially the EPL overpaid Prima Donnas who the real hero's are namely the brave men and women in the NHS who are risking their lives to save yours and mine. Greater love hath no man than he lays down his life for his friends.

I remember wondering 20 years ago when my mother died in hospital and I saw first hand what nurses do why my accountant was being paid £100,000 for looking after my money and nurses where being paid £20,000 for looking after my mother.

Don't think I've ever had an answer to that other than it telling me where society's priorities lie.

Keep them in your prayers.

25 Mar 2020 13:24:26
It's always the workers who pull through a tough situation. At the end of this mess who will the heroes be? The Billionaire CEOs? Or will it be the Hospital staff, care home workers, bus drivers, shelf stackers and delivery drivers?

25 Mar 2020 20:09:48
Every now and then we need something to bring us back down to earth.

26 Mar 2020 14:03:05
I totally agree with what Lou Macari says in today's paper about premier League players digging into their pockets and donating money to the fight against the virus,

27 Mar 2020 17:25:43
We also need the fans to dig deep for their teams as well as the nhs. I see Stirling Albion raised £20k in 36 hours to help save their club. Fair play.

29 Mar 2020 00:32:14
I would run through brick walls if I could for 2.5k per week. Once I earned this probably wouldn't the next time lol.

29 Mar 2020 00:47:07
I think we need to all (the whole world) : rethink things, forget about this ten in a row rubbish, itz meaningless, (that for all these ten in a row obsessed headbangers who think this ten in a row team (potentially) , is better than the Lisbon lions,

This corovirus will go on a long time, and a lot of people we know will die, well I might die and you might die, when my mother was growing up in he west of ireland, she said in every house, in every village, someone would die of TB, the more things change, the more they are the same.

29 Mar 2020 08:48:23
Cheer up man this thing will peak and life will get back to normal. and 10 iar hopefully will happen it's not pish it's about making history.

29 Mar 2020 14:47:34
The Lisbon Lions won every honour they entered in ‘67 and that will never be repeated in Scotland. The Lisbon Lions will still go down in our history as our greatest team ever because they brought the big cup home.
This current squad have had a domestic invincible season. They have won a Treble Treble and counting. They will eventually win 10 In A Row and for me personally I will put them up there with the Lisbon Lions because they will eventually be the most successful squad in our history and the most successful that I have witnessed.
If that makes me an obsessive headbanger then so be it.

{Ed007's Note - How can you put the amount of players that will have contributed to the 10 in a row in the same bracket as a team that won a EC?
The current squad don't have a Treble Treble, the current squad doesn't have 8 leagues in a row and the current squad didn't have an invincible season.}

29 Mar 2020 15:15:08
The Lisbon Lions was only 11 players and they only played one game together after Lisbon against Clyde.
There are plenty of players in that era we class as Lisbon Lions because they all deserve the credit and not only 11 players. They won 9 titles in a row and also reached 20 domestic finals out of 21 In that era.
It’s similar to when I’m referring to the squad of players who have contributed to our most successful period in our history.
I am not taking anything away from the Lisbon Lions, far from it. I am only giving praise to all the players who have got us to where we are.

{Ed007's Note - If the Lisbon Lions won 9 titles in a row why does Bertie Auld only have 6 Championship medals? So who are the plenty of players that are classed as Lisbon Lions who didn't win the EC because I've never heard that in my life before.}

29 Mar 2020 15:41:24
There are players who have medals who never played in Lisbon.
They went to all the reunions John Hughes, Joe McBride and Wullie O Neill showed me his own medal when he worked in Bairds.

{Ed007's Note - And Charlie Gallacher played in a couple of games as well so they were part of the squad that season. Who are theses plenty of players in that era that are classed as Lions, are you seriously saying that there are players out there that weren't at Celtic in season 66/67 that are classed as Lisbon Lions by people?}

29 Mar 2020 16:05:14
Okay Ed. I liked to call the 9 in a row legends the Lisbon lions because it was before my time although I clearly knew that wasn’t the case but I gave them a label because of that great achievement.
My grandkids will look at someone like Forrest who will win the full 10 titles the same way as Christie who didn’t win the full 10.The same as I look at Auld who only won 6 titles the same as I look at Billy McNeill who won the full 9 titles.
It’s not a big deal.

{Ed007's Note - The original nine in a row has absolutely nothing to do with the Lisbon Lions apart from some of them were part of both achievements - it's not a matter of opinion.}

29 Mar 2020 16:27:53
I can see why calling other players Lisbon Lions would annoy some people because it is not true. I didn’t think it was a big deal but from now on I will only refer to the Lisbon Lions as the players mentioned above plus the guys who played in Lisbon. 👍.

{Ed007's Note - It's not annoying, it's just wrong. So when do we stop saying that this squad has won a Treble Treble and had an invincible season?}

29 Mar 2020 16:40:39
Am with you ed the lions were named because that wonderful afternoon in Lisbon and 11 players.

{Ed007's Note - Exactly, the clue's in the name.}

29 Mar 2020 18:30:47
Ed. that's like saying 50 years ago Auld only won 6 titles but didn’t win the full 9 titles. He has always been classed as a 9 in a row winner. Which he is.
In 50 years time it will be the same. It will be players remembered for winning 10 in a row or whatever it may be and there will be players remembered for winning or playing a part in winning a Treble Treble.

{Ed007's Note - Hahahaha in 50 years time maybe James Forrest will be called a Lisbon Lion as well then eh? In fact I've just decided that he is, if you can award Bertie Auld league winners medals for titles he never won and praise players for things they had nothing to do with then it's only fair that I can award James Forrest a EC winners medal.}

30 Mar 2020 02:03:34
The Lisbon Lions are the players that got them to Lisbon as well the ones that played there, am I the only sane person here?

30 Mar 2020 07:52:45
Where you the only sane person when you wanted to send Brown out on loan and build a team around Kouassi and Bayo and replace an overrated Forster with 37 year old Gordon.

31 Mar 2020 12:52:20
Yes, I would have sent Brown anywhere to get him off the first team, but I would have built the team round McGregor and Christie, and Forster is vastly over rated.

04 Apr 2020 09:53:45
@aindoh are you NUTS Big Frazer is a great goalkeeper did you watch the league Cup final he single handed won us the cup.

17 Mar 2020 23:29:18
I don’t what all the fuss is about whether the league is null and void.
We will win the next few leagues at a canter so 10 in a row is not a problem.
Take the high ground.

18 Mar 2020 09:37:01
I really hope I am wrong but I don’t think there’s a hope in hell of the season being completed by the end of June.

18 Mar 2020 12:30:04
As long as we get in a few games by then and its mathematically impossible to be caught, there's no argument as to who's title it is.

18 Mar 2020 12:37:32
Kev I've attended 24 out of 30 league games this season which has been a large financial cost after more than 75% played am I just to say fair enough null the season? What would happen if we mathematically won the league but only played 35 games and relegation/ Europe isn't settled do you nullify league?

18 Mar 2020 14:56:45
Kev according to Sevco fans if it’s declared null and void then they will look on Celtic as stopping at 8 in a row because there will be a gap.
That is the mentality we are up against and it will be the same if we get awarded the title to make it 9 In A Row they won’t acknowledge that either.
You can’t take the high ground with these people because they live in their own wee bubble.

18 Mar 2020 21:24:42
If the season did get null and void would that also mean the euro results will aswell Surely the sfa won’t want to hinder any chance we have of getting 2 champion league spots back that would totally ruin sevco only realistic chance of the big money .

25 Mar 2020 17:33:10
Who really cares what sevco think. As long as its in the history books.

26 Mar 2020 12:11:39
Exactly marco, they won't stop me celebrating, infact it would make it a wee bit sweeter if they never recognised it.

27 Mar 2020 19:57:01
They were wanting the titles they won during the war to be included even though most teams players were away fighting and their players were in the shipyards.

28 Mar 2020 09:52:15
Wife went shopping bought so much sh#the she was offered the Everton job.
