It's not often that I change my mind completely on the Celtic Board and their recruitment policy, However I have made a 360 degree take on board's policy .
I use to read that our Board were guilty of providing manager with players just capable of domestic success.
I thought that was a terrible negative opinion that no decent Celtic supporter could hold .
However whilst studying the Board's Primary responsibility, to make money for investors by increase share price and paying dividends. This has altered my thinking and I now realise that the Board have a responsibility to make sure manager and coaches are forced to push their players to the limit to get the very best out of players to be victorious domestically. It isn't fair on the players in the first team squad, if they can stroll through year and win their domestic league at ease and even a double or treble without been pushed completely.
No surer way of creating player unrest amongst players and supporters than having players who think they are too good for league they are playing in .
We can't have European standard players if they aren't pushed to limit week- in week out in their own league . It's very difficult to pick SPL level footballers to be capable of starring in Europe.

It is even more difficult if you are not prepared to pay the going rate for them.

Naw mate we won’t have European standard players if Peter Lawwell and co continue to dilly dally and don’t invest in better quality players than they have been, I honestly feel we will be done over again this time like we always do ?.

Drewzybhoy .
Maybe u should consider joining us in 2024 . YOUR MATE P. Lawwell. Is no longer able to dilly dally.

Ridiculous post. No one was complaining in '94 when Fergus and John Keane saved us. Since then we have splashed money a few times. most notably to find the MON era. We are a great club run properly. Lots of money being spent on infrastructure. I have no doubt we will spend big this window (By our/ Scottish standards) . Lawwell has to go. Not going to bore people but the man should just go!

The fixtures are out for SPL 2024/ 2025 and I am sure the Scottish Masons are delighted that without any unusual Programming the computer has done a brilliant bigoted job, creating Celtic fixtures at times that are unsuitable, Opening Flag Day, usually first fixture of News season, pushed back until 4.30 pm Sunday. Celtic, currently, only SPL team playing in Champions League, have almost all post C L matches away .
Of Course W Collum is still busily working his balls off, trying to make a difference . His predecessor Crawford Allan, had all elite refs either Sevco supporters or making their decisions like Sevco supporters., Willie is trying to end. all this . Won't it be great to have a season of W Collum's impartiality.

It's the same every year Des no ones even surprised anymore. It'll be the usual Killie, Hearts, Rangers, Aberdeen or Hibs games that are the selected away games for potential European hangovers. With tjat being said, It hasn't worked in Sevcos favour much before but it at least keeps the title race tight for them.

How long does this bloody Covid last? I thought I was doing brilliantly not having a dose of at all and I thought I had beat it off, but it hit me 7/ 8 days ago and to be honest I wouldn't wish it on Clements or any one of them . It's a really harsh, you think it's lifting and it comes back and downs u again .
Stay healthy .

It won't be going away although there will be different variants as it mutates.
2.) 25 Jun 2024 19:10:31
Joe, I am selfishly wanting it to leave me, for now . I was stupid enough to think that as I and the wife had avoided so long that it had forgotten about us and we were safe . I have to say it’s bad enough and needs to move on.

Hope it clears for you soon mate as it can really floor you.
4.) 25 Jun 2024 21:41:08
My mate's had it for about a week, still positive. Hang tough Des, you'll be out the woods soon and back to better health.
5.) 25 Jun 2024 22:08:00
How do ye know you’ve got it?
6.) 26 Jun 2024 16:55:42
my mates can of irn bru tested positive aswell.

We are almost there, just like Christmas Eve, but this time it's the older children and adults who can't sleep tonight with the excitement tomorrow, the opening of the transfer window brings . Tomorrow morning we will have people keeping an eye on Ross Hall, checking to see what times Celtic have booked medicals .
We need to locate Dermot Desmond's Private Jet and watch for any movement.
Nothing wrong on keeping an eye on Lennoxtown but more important Celtic Park . Hopefully one person isn't seen and that is Peter L.

And this window will determine how frugal the pockets are with this Board.
2.) 14 Jun 2024 07:11:33
I hope and expect how generous yet spending wisely the Board are . They have started off wisely if the Oh report is accurate . Pointless loaning him out if a decent offer has been made, if he didn’t have a good season we would have a problem selling him after that.

Many of us are concerned about our younger professionals under 21 for example getting enough games . We are also bored during the close season and don't believe international football fulfil our Interest .
I wonder if we had a condensed under aged league played from start of May until end July start of August . Ten team league playing home and away with Celtic and Rangers playing under 21 and other teams under 22. No team can play a player who has started 4 SpL or took part as starter and substitute 6 times . Games played home and away with £10 admission and £3 under 18;Young referees + assistants and VAR could obtain valuable experience.

Sorry repeat post.
12 Jul 2024 19:22:05
Aye, we should have spoon fed them a long a path to first team football. We should have prioritised their promotion above all else .
The one thing that BR is better than most managers is developing young talent . He had full view of both Vata and Kelly from before last Christmas when he brought them in to train with the first team squad . I am sure there are other Celtic youngsters of somewhat similar ability, who would be delighted to get a contract with Celtic and work exceptionally hard to fulfil their ability.
12 Jul 2024 00:26:09
I am rarely in favour of signing players who played for us before, left us when at their peak and returning to wind down career . I am certainly not in favour of S Armstrong.
12 Jul 2024 00:22:52
Celtic Board have a habit in not issuing rumours about possible future purchases. They don’t like the selling club or agent releasing rumours either .
Although sometimes selling club / agent release information to try to get a bidding war going.
12 Jul 2024 00:19:10
Don’t forget that the only source for our alleged interest in Dara O’Shea is the SMSM . It’s very likely we have very little interest if any in Dara
As is normal we don’t have a notion on what wage he is currently on, as it isn’t something that his club, his agent or himself are going to make public for the craic of it.
11 Jul 2024 19:46:52
I cannot sleep at night laughing at the doom merchants who use to blame PL for all our problems but even more hilarious is the odd one who thinks PL has any influence at this moment in time .
When Pl was CEO he was given a transfer budget every year which he had to keep inside . He just couldn’t go on a solo run doing his own thing.
26 Jul 2024 21:10:57
Peumably the same reason reason why 20-30 other managers haven’t charged in looking for him either.
26 Jul 2024 20:04:21
Jungle John, John what do you mean “that they better get the barriers up again”.
26 Jul 2024 19:30:27
Weejoe, doesn’t worry about playing results, just gather money to spend on Stadium etc and the team will do ok.
26 Jul 2024 19:28:29
Turner, here was me thinking over 75% of posters on this forum were critical of our Board for not getting our Manager the 0layers to progress in the ChampionsLeague beyond Christmas . I thought that because these sentiments were repeated so often the posters must have been confident of success which to Celtic would be playing CL in New Year .
{Ed007's Note - We'll be playing in the CL in January, the final matchday of the first stage is January 29th.}
26 Jul 2024 17:20:03
If we think a player can contribute to any part of the game for our team we should not loan him out as we may well need him if we have injuries or loss of form .
We have the best coach in Scotland if not in UK, why not use him.
