    You mean Machochist Paul
    I was reported by a Celtic fan on here because he believed he had been reported by a Rangers fan and he wanted to get one of us back I pointed out it may have been a mod that had taken the action He did apologise saying he should not have done it but it's getting silly if that's the route we go down oh it wasn't Lubo

    Yep that's what I mean lol!

    Didn't know you were reported, but as has been said, if someone has the decency to apologise, that should be it.

    Anyway onwards we go, 28th should be a cracker now. How big a loss do you think Goian will be? I haven't seen much of him tbh, but have heard good things about him.

    Saw Goian today.Hes nothing special. But its excellent news for us that Kyle Bartly will play instead on Wednesday.Im sorry, but that fella wouldnt get a game with Limerick City. IMO.

    Your not top yet you know " chickens count hatched before don't" rearrange into a well known phrase ;)

    True, but New Years Day would give a better idea of how the teams are performing as it would give both Celtic and Rangers a game at home to judge on, as it stands even though Rangers have a 1 point lead I reckon Celtic are in the better position with an extra game at home.

    Great results for us today, it's been a great effort by the team and management to get us back into contention.

    A few weeks ago I thought this game would be make or break for Lennon but as it stands it's McCoist under huge pressure going into the game. This game might not decide where the league title ends up but it will decide who the media focus their attention on.

    It will be interesting to see how both teams line up on Weds, Lennon usually goes with 1 up front but may be tempted to go more attack minded and before today I expected McCoist to be defensive too but he might be tempted to try to prove a point and take the game to us. Should be a good game, really looking forward to it now.

    Oh and Happy Christmas to all the Bhoys and Bears on here!

    Your right mate and we can all get a bit worked up at times but when it comes down to it we are all fans as I said he has apologised do from my point of view it's finished I just had to get it off my chest though
    I would be happy enough to have a beer or two with anyone on here why because though I support th on your book I have never hated or disliked anyone because of the team they follow life is to short for all that crap

    Up intil the last couple of weeks I would have said we would have missed him greatly but he has been shaky I wouldn't be surprised to see Weir thrown in on Wednesday but I think our back four will be Whittiker, Bartley, Bocanegra, Papac

    Actually I think your wrong about him but only time will tell he is only twenty and still has a lot to learn and he has shown at times he can defend very well but his game is patchy I will put that down to lack of experience

    Oh please please please play Papa Weir.

    Actually, maybe not, we'll have Brewster on here spunking his load all over the place about how much the consumate professional he is to still be playing at 68 or whatever he is. :D

    Massive day for the Celts. Didn't get to see the game but I was a happy man when I heard the two results.

    Even if it goes tits up for us on the 28th then the gap can only go back to 4. Hopefully we will be top for the new year, current form means nothing in the Glasgow derby but we are in very good shape now. I'm gonna miss that game because of work too but god bless Sky plus!

    Happy Christmas to everyone on here btw, Rangers lads included. This place has it fair share of arguments but there is some good debate too. Hail hail..


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,438 ✭✭✭henke


    Happy Christmas to all on here and hoping the happiness continues for us Celts on Wednesday night ;).

    He was playing in midfield he is not a midfielder we will see what like he is playing in his proper position

    And you know he is big headed how is it maybe your dislike of the EPL

    He's not fit for a start and played centre midfield against ICT, which he is not.

    Do you guys think Celtic are actually that good? I think we've seen a total twist in what was happening earlier in the season, both teams are dire but Celtic are confident and grinding out results now which is what we were doing for the first while.

    Celtic have a habit of believing the media hype. Keeping the players focussed on football and starting matches tuned in seems to be a big issue. Sometimes its like they've all taken Lennon's prozac or something. Ability wise, we are a better squad but its all for nothing when their heads are in the clouds. Smith had Rangers tuned in for every match and thats why Rangers won the title last year imo.

    Maybe someone should remind Ally just what his proper position actually is, after bringing him on as a striker today the only position he hasn't had a go in is as keeper.

    More than just Bartley's position he needs reminded of!

    Happy Christmas lads.

    Well roll on the 28th, Celtic on a nice run of form but that does go out the window on Old Firm days. I am expecting a much better performance from Rangers, they have been playing poorly but Aluko can cause problems and he would be the player I would be most concerned about.

    Alot of talk about it being perhaps Jelavic's last Old Firm but on his current form I would be surprised if a team put in a bid which would be acceptable to Rangers, after claiming to have rejected a £9 million bid in the summer it would look bad to accept a bid of £6-7 million just a few months later (which I would still regard as being generous), 8 goals from play out of 21 games this season for Rangers and 0 goals out of 9 international games is nothing too exceptional and not the kind of form one of the big teams in England should be looking for.

    To be fair to Ally - he's only justr realised that Papac isnt a midfielder!

    Hes like Bobby Zamora, Steven Fletcher or even Marc Antoine Fortune in that its more about the style of play he allows the manager to implement. I dont think his lack of goals will put off those that were interested. Its obvious that his head has been turned by the interest much like Kayal was and form dipped. We got Kayal a new contract to keep his head down, Rangers havent done anything except media spin hence why he isnt firing on all cylinders.

    aah now.Celtic arent "grinding out" results. We've been purring along like a Jag.We should have beat the top team in Italy away in the Europa.The inevitable is gonna happen unless rangers suddenly become good, and we suddenly become bad.Roll on Wednesday.:D
