More positive and dare i say it impressive comments with regards to the future than Murray ever came away with . Where Murray was all sound bites i believe this guy actually has an idea of where he wants us to be , very very impressed

Are the club going for a record or are we all hoping Santa brings the accounts for xmas , just what is the latest the Agm has ever been held , as this is getting ridiculous

Bad 25 minutes but after that very professional performance and really in the second half we could and possibly should have won it . Considering that we have lost one of our best defender's and that one of our main midfielders has only played 26 minutes of combatitive football this was an excellent result . Whittaker was excellent , Naismith was excellent Rothen was better than I ever imagined considering he was on the right wing all night .McCulloch I dof my cap as a stand in center half brilliant very composed , big Madjid get in there my son , mcGregor not a save to make second half , get the beers out very happy bear:spl::spl:r

:fish::fish:why dont the pair of you just get a room !!!!!

yes stay or yes go now that is the question !!!!!!!

ahhhh can see where your coming from , they have changed the layout so always click the goals tab , it's really quick as well especially on european nights

sorry didn't realise I needed to post instructions , try clicking the goals tab and scroll down

If you remember last season the septic were awarded a very dubious penalty against I think Kilmarnock , or possibly St Mirren which was outside but finished inside , and every member of the celtic appreciation society backed the refs decision . What goes around comes around .

remember it wasn't that long ago when we were the only team getting c/l football that we had a much better team and squad , yet continually getting horsed by Auxerre , grasshoppers , strasbourg etc etc etc back then NIAR was the only game in town , how times have changed

sorry mate but the 4th round is the last play off round , all teams from the c/l that are beaten go straight into the europa league

To be fair to him , he scored some really important goals both at the start and end of last season , also if the manager doesn't pick him then he cannot really be blamed

Well , any thoughts Frankie

sorry I actually didn't take that into account also I suppose having lafferty and papac suspended wouldn't have helped either , but when you add it all up that is it really a first team squad of 19 , todays 10 ( flecks still too young to be considered a full first team member IMHO ) plus Alexander , Thomson , Beasley ,Papac , Lafferty , Novo ,Edu ,Broadfoot and Mendes

Very few if any of the players that have left made any contribution at all to last season , Velicka waded in with a few important goals , Ferguson held down a position for a while without doing anything spectacular , Dailly was well Dailly , and that was about it , the rest Darcheville , Burke , Gow , Hemdani , Adam ,Graham Smith , Webster and Furman never featured, also for years we have all wanted youngsters to get a chance , however I have never seen the pendulum swing so far in the opposite direction so quickly ever , I mean today we had 4 under 21 players on the bench

Since January , if Darcheville and Burke are included we will have saved over �£6.9 million on wages per year and thats at a conservative estimate , add in the �£1.5 million in fees ( once the players slice is removed as none asked for transfers ) and that we will earn over �£17 million ( if Celtic get gubbed hopefully ) top line from the c/l alone , how bad can it really be , even when we were seriously in debt a few years ago we never saw such draconian cuts as we are witnessing now , all this on top of the club workers who seem to be facing constant threats to their jobs , sad sad times , the sooner the truth comes the better

Before I start just let me say this is totally without any foundation , it's just my own thoughts no sources or rumours behind it . The way we have approached this year from Jan 1st till the present has been almost scatter gun like , any decent or at least any offer for any player seems to have been accepted whether to take players on loan or for transfer , the initial figure of removing �£4million from the wage bill has more than been reached along with getting around �£1.6 million ( once the players cut is removed as no one asked for a transfer ) for players in fees . This has left me wondering why the desperation for this type of actions , we all agree last season though brilliant to win the league , was a disaster from the point of view of player recruitment , with the vast majority being brought in too late for europe and leaving us with far to big a squad , any sane fan would realise that there would need to be some sort of balancing act , and few would agree with the majority of players leaving in fact some would like a few more join the ranks of the departed . However and this is where this season so far has been very strange , with so much riding yet again on the league it is very unlike Walter to go with such a thread bare squad , without bringing in any players , indeed Murray's lapdogs are now infact telling all that infact we need more players out the door before we can even get a bosman or a loan signing on board . I can only hope that this is being done as part of a takeover deal , such as Portsmouth's where they are preparing the finances before the sheikh takes over , if not then what exactly are the figures on our finances going to read, possibly like a horror movie if barrybaldy is correct . Never can the hopes of so many be laid at the feet of so few , god bless them I really hope they succeed ...

as usual the papers are way behind , this is old old news

they were the best of two very poor teams and having their midfield certainly wouldn't inspire me , especially having the strikers they have , the only thing that will save them is getting the greeks

Right guy's todays the day and we are about to set off , good news we are all fit and well and looking forward to it and so far have raised over �£10 000 of our �£20000 target . bad news the weather is pish up North ad looks to stay that way , our kit hasn't arrived from poland ( they got the dates mixed up seemingly ),and we have an 8 hour drive to get started . Never mind it has to be done , if any one would like to support us in this charitable event , please click the link and give what ever you can ,I realise things are really tight just now so anything is appreciated , also there is a wee article about us in tomorrows evening times . http://www.justgiving.com/end-end09/ will give you an update tomorrow after our first stage , John o'groats to Inverness approx 120 miles RIGHT TODAY HAS NOW BEEN CANCELLED DUE TO VARIOUS COCKUP'S , NONE OF WHICH WERE OUR FAULT , so tomorrow will now be today ok sorry wrong forum

just phoned the spl offices at hampden and it is �£13 million per year with an opt out after 3 years , who they opt out to is another question

this story is changing every bloody hour , does anyone actually know what the deal is , one minute it's over three years the next over five with a two year opt out , opting out exactly where !!!! so is it �£13million or just under �£22 million per year

If you thought we had problems before then wait to see what will come if this is true , the bbc are changing their report almost by the minute , sky are reporting it as a 3 year deal at �£65 million which is basically what we were getting , but if it is over the 5 years that's another player or �£1.6 million that will have to be found from somewhere

Well the bright chairmen of our fellow clubs have once again put self interest and shorttermism against the best interessts of the scottish game , this is truly an awful decision and one that will I am certain have serious repercussions on playing squads all across the country, what a truly depressing day never in my worst nightmares did I seriously believe they would vote for this. sorry just about to do a complete 180degree , if what has been reported on the spl's official site is correct then it's actually a good deal , �£65 over 3 years is a hell of a lot better than �£65 over 5 , so not too shabby after all

he played and scored in our champions league games and never looked out of place , ironically playing out of position , why not give him a chance , far too many on these forums do not give young scots any breaks , Aaron will be welcomed back with open arms even though he has shown absolutely nothing yet Adam get's no slack
