The Celtic Match Thread

Honduras, Israel, Sierra Leone... lulz.

Yes they are international football teams.

Dont be hating, its not us that are selling you the dud. Its not our fault that we probably have more international players than yous have in your entire squad.

Rangers owner Craig Whyte admits he sold four years' worth of season tickets to keep Ibrox club running - The Daily Record

They're going bust, its practically official now. Everything in that BBC show is turning out to be true.

And it was answered.

And it was noticed.

Rangers owner Craig Whyte admits he sold four years' worth of season tickets to keep Ibrox club running - The Daily Record

They're going bust, its practically official now. Everything in that BBC show is turning out to be true.

The fans are still in denial though saying that the reports are all untrue, just rags that have an agenda against the club, they are going to win the tax case and the fans need to get behind Whyte & Sally.

This is only one of the reasons why they have been trying to get £10m for Jellylegs - to try and help pay off the huge amounts of monetary problems that they have.

BUT what they don't realise is HOW are they going to pay back the loan that was taken out against the season tickets? Even the £18m debt that the club owed Lloyds hasn't been paid off - it's just been moved to Wavetower. They have "paid off" the bank but the £18m was taken out of Wavetower so in reality the money is STILL owed to Whyte so when they go into administration - or go bust - Whyte won't lose out because he's STILL owed that money.

They are screwed no matter what happens.

You know I find it amusing that Celtic fans are laughing at us for buying the lad from Rangers. You forget we have a far superior manager,who is also far superior to Lennon, who can get the best out of players. Never underestimate anything

He may be a "far superior" manager to Lennon but that's because he's been in the managerial game a LOT longer than Lennon hence more experience. Also remember that he's had a much bigger budget than what Lennon has ever had.

Jelly was scoring goals in the SPL but he needs to up his game by a HUGE amount to score for you in the EPL and I don't think he's got it in him to be a success there and time will tell.

I just feel sorry for your club for having wasted around £6m for a penalty taker.

At least his dad WAS right as well though - Jelly's more likely destination for a move was to Liverpool

We'll see. the Gaffer has an uncanny knack of bringing the best out of players. Cahill, Howard, Neville, Rooney, Jagielka, Saha, Baines.....

And tell me, what's the advantage of having international players? Do they give you cookies for it? Having 'international' players is a sign of club stature when they represent at least half-decent countries. Aside from that it's usually a pain in the **** as they're called up for silly tournaments or can get injured on international duty. Considering your internationals are sub-par players from sub-par countries it's hardly something to brag about. But I guess that's good enough in today's SPL.

Lennon is still very early in his career. Bit harsh to compare him with Moyes who has been in the game for nearly 15years......

I wouldnt really say he has got the best out of Rooney and Neville. Both are quality players and would be playing well under most managers. As for Saha. He was better at Fulham than he is at Everton. He has been pretty poor at Everton I thought. Then you have the players that he didnt get the best out of such as Bilyaletdinov, Jo, Heitinga, McFadden and Fellaini (to an extent)

And tell me, what's the advantage of having international players? Do they give you cookies for it?

I said there was an advantage? I just posted a stat that I thought was very impressive. Although when the three teams infront are probably the 3 biggest teams in the world at the minute there must be something about it. Half decent countries? Who defines if the country is good at football? You? Such unwarranted arrogance!!! Hondoras took part in the 2010 world cup and did fine, Irsreal are on the fringes of qualifying for international tournaments just like the likes of Ireland, Belgium, Scotland and Crotatia where you have got players from. Some of which can not get caps for said teams.

Maybe you should make your owe list with only players that play for countries that are good enough for Athe~ to recognise their ability?

Silly tournaments? The Asian cup, Copa America and African Copa Nations are more prestigious than anything Everton have won in the last 20 years.
You consider them sub par. But both the players and the countries they hail from are respected by peoples opinion that I and most football supporters value more than yours.

It would be impressive if the 'internationals' in your team played for a good national team.

And you're calling me arrogant for saying the likes of Honduras, Israel, Sierra Leone, Kenya or Northern Ireland aren't good at football? Are you serious? I'll assume you're just taking the ****, otherwise I don't think you should be discussing football with anyone.

On the second bit, none of your players played in the Copa America (With the exception of Juarez, none will either, and even Juarez is in doubt as Mexico plays it because they're invited), as Honduras and Mexico are CONCACAF countries and play in the Gold Cup, which is *****. And none of your african players went to the ACN either, because, well, their national teams are *****. I guess 'most football supporters' (?) have no freaking clue about football after all.

Next time you try to argue a stupid point, at least get your facts straight, thank you very much. It's your players you're talking about, after all. And you really should see an ophtalmologist - I think your Celtic tinted specs aren't doing you any favours.

 

[AM67]

Nobody can help where they are born, you don't chose to play for a good or bad national team.

ps Moyes is a tim and would leave you for us in a second HAHAHAH

Who decides if they are good?

Yes it is arrogance. For a start Israel are in the same bracket as Ireland, Crotia, Belgium etc. who have players plying for Everton. Iirc you are from Argentina? Just because they are not as good as you does not make them *****.

On the second bit, none of your players played in the Copa America (With the exception of Juarez, none will either, and even Juarez is in doubt as Mexico plays it because they're invited), as Honduras and Mexico are CONCACAF countries and play in the Gold Cup, which is *****.

So what you are saying is yes one of the Celtic players did play in the Copa America? 0_o

Nice of you to just dismiss another tournament there.... The gold cup is very important to many football fans. Just because you dont appreciate it doesnt make it ****. Ivroy Coast also didnt go to the ACN. They are obviously a **** national team!

I got nothing wrong......... Celtic players participated in the ACN and the Copa America!

He is a tim but no, he wouldnt.

 

[Athe~]

Who decides if they are good?

Well, it's pretty clear to see which countries are good and which are not. Their performances decide it, it's not like the prophet Muhammad suddenly comes and says 'you are good, you are not'.

Yes it is arrogance. For a start Israel are in the same bracket as Ireland, Crotia, Belgium etc. who have players plying for Everton. Iirc you are from Argentina? Just because they are not as good as you does not make them *****.

That's a ridiculous claim. Ireland, Croatia and Belgium are all better than Israel by a lot.

So what you are saying is yes one of the Celtic players did play in the Copa America? 0_o

None of your players played in the Copa América, and none will, unless Mexico are invited to the next edition in which case Juarez could be an exception. Is that clear enough for you or would you have me add pictures and smilies?

Nice of you to just dismiss another tournament there.... The gold cup is very important to many football fans. Just because you dont appreciate it doesnt make it ****. Ivroy Coast also didnt go to the ACN. They are obviously a **** national team!

Noone rates the Gold Cup, not even the Mexicans. They only care about beating the Americans, and it goes both ways. They might as well play a friendly and it'd have the same meaning to both sets of fans. And Ivory Coast are playing in the ACN, won all three of their games and thus top their group.

I got nothing wrong......... Celtic players participated in the ACN and the Copa America!

No Celtic player participated in either tournament.

Congratulations on making a fool out of yourself.

ps Moyes is a tim and would leave you for us in a second HAHAHAH

First of all, nobody is arguing against that. I'm arguing against the fact you're comparing yourselves to the likes of Barcelona, when they provide players to Spain or Brazil.

And good luck trying to get Moyes to dump us for you. ****, I'll swim my way to Britain, buy a car and drive him to Glasgow if he agrees.

 

[AM67]

He is a tim but no, he wouldnt.

Pretty sure he's said he wants to manage one of the Glasgow clubs one day, and with him being a tim it would be us. Pointless arguing about it though as he has a job and we have a manager, I have no idea why I said that

na

 

[ajt09]

Why would he want to manage an SPL club anyway? The finances in the SPL are nowhere near as abundant as they are right now as they are in EPL clubs. He'd be better served at a club like Man Utd, Spurs etc. If they were more stable-maybe. And why would he want to go to a club where a manager gets bullets through the post from mindless morons anyway? Not a chance. And not with Rangers with the state of their finances.

 

[AM67]

he supports celtic and said he wants to manage an old firm club one day get over it
