  1. What do you all think about this one ? His club have confirmed Celtic have made a "serious offer".
  2. Another wee audio clip to laugh at. I'm sure it was kicking about when Artmedia put them out. http://www.glasgowsurvival.co.uk/belters/05europe.wma
  3. Don't have a link for this comment yet as I only heard it on Radio Scotland on their 7.30am Sports news. However, suffice to say that this bitter, provocative wee bigot has once against pandered to the lowest common denominator amongst his support by suggesting that Hearts (despite not signing anyone yet and effectively losing 2 senior players) will be Celtic's main challenger because of their bigger chequebook. Personally speaking I was delighted when this runt signed a new deal to say at the East End. Basically so Mnsr Le Guen and his players can stick it right up him when we do regain the title. I sincerely hope these comments are pinned everywhere round Ibrox Stadium and SA right now.
  4. Hasselbanks signed for celtic lol lose 1 diddy bring in another oap lol
  5. Well I have to say I'm a lot more excited about the season coming than I've been for quite some time. It was a crushing blow to lose out on Champions League, but fair play to Hearts, they were better than us and deserve their place, and I hope they do well in the name of Scotland. Here's hoping our starting off in the Uefa Cup, with what will conceivably be a rebuilt team, will blood the side in and give PLG the chance to find his feet without the immediate pressure of the CL. Don't get me wrong, I'd choose the CL every time but end of the day we're not in it so we have to make the best of what we do have. In PLG we have one of Europe's brightest and most coveted managers, whose stock has never been higher. Getting him was one of the biggest signings in our history and he is the man to take us forward, no doubt about that. Our obvious priority has to be taking the Championship out of Celtic's hands, but they're doing rebuilding too, getting in some decent if not outstanding (IMO) players like the Scotland boys and this Sno chap and Jarosik. On the other hand we've brought in a promising Swedish defender to replace Soti, a Czech winger whose performance in Germany in the little time he got was certainly positive, and Letizi who has 4 caps for France apparently. Both the OF are failing to explode in the transfer market so far, settling instead for subtle enhancements and replacements so far rather than major acquisitions. Maybe it's presumptious to say this season could be a battle between the managers rather than the squads, because while both sets of fans could be reasonably pleased with what their managers have brought in, we're not talk about earth shattering signings here. And in that light I think PLG is probably more rated than Strachan. However, Strachan now knows the Scottish game and PLG is a novice even though he's studiously prepared. I would like to think it's a given that we'll take the SPL back in light of the changes. Let's face it, no Rangers fan expects anything less; I know I don't, but that's not to say Celtic will roll over and die. They won't. As for the Uefa Cup, well it looks rather strong this year for once, with some genuinely big sides in there rather than Zenit and Middlesbrough from last year. How well we do is dependent on how much PLG hits the ground running, but he is capable of taking us very far indeed. I have never had more faith in a manager than I do in him, and trust him with the team implictly. I'm still amazed we got him. As for the actual team, well some of the dead wood has been shafted and that remains an ongoing process; PL has gone, Soti's gone - both players I rated quite highly, very highly in Soti's case, but I'm content with Svensson as his replacement. We have bought in fairly shrewdly so far imo, and it's good that the spine of the team seems to be so solid; Svensson (Hopefully he settles quickly, former captain of Gothenburg and part of the Swedish WC squad, can't be bad - then again - look at Du Wei for Celtic...) and Rod (Showed just how good he is when he returned from injury during the second half of the season) at the back, Ferguson (Recovered from all the injuries which plagued him last season and imo the best player in Scotland when on his game), and Prso up front. It's hard to analyse the lot without sounding totally biased and vaguely incoherent, but I will say there are now 3 sides in the SPL capable of winning it and that's not been the case for a very long time. It should be a good season, and I fully expect us to win the SPL back and make another real mark in Europe like last season.
  6. i`m really pumped up for this one. england have a gift of a chance to get to the quarters here. i realise ecuador are no mugs and recently beat argentina, but it`s a miss match to be blatantly honest. england may find it hard to score with only rooney up front so it`ll probably be a tight game because of erikssons defensive minded tactics. i`m expecting the team to be.... ....................................................robinson........................................ .....o.hargreaves...................................................................a.cole...... .................................ferdinand(if fit)/campbell....terry........................... ...........................................carrick................................................... .....beckham........................gerrard.......................................j.cole...... ........................................lampard.................................................... ..........................................rooney................................................... i`m only going by what i`ve heard and the decision to play hargreaves in favour of a guy who won the european cup for liverpool last year in carragher is rediculous. eriksson is becoming far too defnsive. i don`t mind carrick playing in the anchor, but he should drop beckham and play crouch up front. a 5 man midfield agaist ecuador is asking for trouble. rooney will be knackered after 60 mins again if he`s up front himself and gerrard will once again be playing a role that does not bring out the best in him. i`d rather a 4/4/2 diamond with .. robinson a.cole j.terry campbell carragher carrick j.cole gerrard lampard rooney crouch if he picks that team then i`ll be the next manager of celtic
  7. http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/football/teams/c/celtic/5101904.stm I always thought he was quite a good player, but also a little tempromental. Also at 34 can he handle it anymore?
  8. Not content with off loading one old fogey, Chesney lines up another, Hasselbaink! http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/football/teams/c/celtic/5101904.stm

  13. Thought Iââ?¬â?¢d leave it a couple of days before I commented on the joint club and supporters statement of yesterday concerning the UEFA indictment of two weeks ago. Like most Rangers fans I was disappointed but not surprised when the UEFA charge was ââ?¬Ë?partially upheldââ?¬â?¢. I also believe our club should have backed our fans more and appealed the decision. I donââ?¬â?¢t want to waste anyoneââ?¬â?¢s time debating what songs are ââ?¬Ë?sectarianââ?¬â?¢ and what songs merely offend. We would be here all night. In the event of the UEFA judgement thatââ?¬â?¢s a pointless exercise and although some may be correct in their defence of the contested words and songs, essentially what UEFA says goes. For that reason we all have to realise the club and the criticised supportersââ?¬â?¢ groups had to choice but to make Fridayââ?¬â?¢s statement. No one, least of all the likes of the RST or TBO want to see our historic anthems and heritage destroyed. But sometimes we have to accept the inevitable, regroup, and then move on. ââ?¬Ë?Hullo Hulloââ?¬â?¢ or the ââ?¬Ë?Billy Boys as UEFA has described it is a rousing song. Itââ?¬â?¢s a great tune and its simplistic words never fail to arouse passion amongst the support particularly at bigger games. Unfortunately though, the lyrics (like many of our proud chants) have become bastardised. The official club version has been corrupted to, depending on your opinion, a song glorifying the victories of a notorious Glasgow gang leader or a historic regal figure, both whom fought their own very different battles against the ââ?¬Ë?feniansââ?¬â?¢ of their day. Now, no one is denying Protestant heritage and legend shouldnââ?¬â?¢t have their place in connection with Rangers. Like Celtic are fiercely proud of their Catholic background we too should appreciate our roots. No one, least of all UEFA, should be able to stop people expressing themselves freely. However, football matches at todayââ?¬â?¢s modern stadiums are not necessarily the place for such political viewpoints. Working class sports have always been connected to public opinion but in the days of all-seated stadia and family sections do we really need to listen to chants of FTP and fenian blood? I donââ?¬â?¢t think we do. No matter our opinions we have to move on. The song has been banned and ignorance or stubbornness is no longer an option. The line has been drawn and it can no longer be crossed. Itââ?¬â?¢s not being melodramatic to say that if we do cross it our club will no longer be the famous and proud institution it is. Can we afford to lose it? Because, make no mistake, thatââ?¬â?¢s what will happen if we choose to ignore the directive. Some will argue weââ?¬â?¢re surrendering to our enemies and to an extent I sympathise with that opinion. But, sometimes it takes the bigger person to admit their ills and move forward. Unlike others, Rangers FC and our fans have never hid from our problems. Now, we have a chance to really fix them and rid ourselves of them forever. Yes, it may require a loss of initial pride but we can recover from this. Indeed Iââ?¬â?¢d suggest our position will be stronger if we can accept this ban, educate and help each other to move into what is a new era in Scottish (and if the same rules are applied evenly ââ?¬â?? World) football. Our position will be stronger because we have made the first sacrifice. We will have shown our many detractors that we are capable of change. On an almost daily basis hypocritical people, with their own biased agendas attack us. That wonââ?¬â?¢t end completely ââ?¬â?? we canââ?¬â?¢t be so naive to think so. However, we will have paid our penance and they will never be allowed to forget that. Moreover, at the same time, if we can accept this judgement, the very least we should expect is a change in policy from the other clubs who are as equally guilty of sectarian, bigoted and offensive songs. Going by the UEFA charge, no club or national team is safe from similar sanction. Weââ?¬â?¢ll be watching to make sure this is not an unfair one-off. Weââ?¬â?¢ve already been tried twice and now the sanctions have been placed. We can move forward with a clear conscience. Can the others who sing about terrorists, stadium disasters and horrific injuries do the same? Of course not despite what their very public mouthpieces may suggest. If we do accept this ban, then other will have to come into the firing line. Weââ?¬â?¢ll no longer have the problem. We also have another positive. By standing by our club we will have shown just what Rangers FC really means to us. Of course our club should rightly be considered as a symbol of our past. Ibrox stadium is also a memory to our absent friends and as such we should never treat it lightly by allowing stands to be empty because of our mistakes. Are we really that selfish to lose these magnificent and unrivalled symbols of our faith and history? For one song that we can still sing anywhere else we like? I donââ?¬â?¢t blame anyone for being upset and disappointed by what appears to be a capitulation on our clubââ?¬â?¢s part. But look a bit deeper. Examine the bigger picture. Itââ?¬â?¢s not a big thing in the grand scheme of things. We may have to give a bit of ground here. In fact, we have no real choice. But, if we stand together, we can come out of this stronger. Or we can squabble, fall out, ignore and deny. But thatââ?¬â?¢s never been a winning strategy. It wasnââ?¬â?¢t for the Billy Boys of centuries past. It shouldnââ?¬â?¢t be now either. Season 2006/07 is almost upon us. Weââ?¬â?¢re pretty much debt free; we have an incredible new manager and new players have and will continue to arrive. An exciting new dawn has started. We can reclaim any lost ground on and off the pitch by sticking together. Letââ?¬â?¢s not spoil it by fighting and arguing over little things. We are the people. Letââ?¬â?¢s show it.
  14. Heard on radio clyde celtic are planning a loan move for him. When he's in the mood, he's a great player.
  15. reading through the "do you pish in the shower" thread i remembered being at a party when i was bursting for a single fish. i proceeded up stairs and all the doors were closed so i picked one and went in. it was a single bed room, not the toilet i was expecting and i really needed to go so i looked around for something to pee in and found....... a rucknor bag with a celtic scarf in it. work the rest out for your self! anyone else got any confessions?
  16. According to Foulkes who was sacked, when talking about the 1-1 draw with Celtic... Now, nearly all the Jambos I know love the guy and won't hear a bad word about him. But am I the only one who thinks this is all going to end in tears? Apart from his constant meddling in playing affairs, signing approximately 23 players, 21 of whom will never see first team action etc, I just think there's so many things going on that are going to come back and bite Hearts. its certainly entertaining for the rest of us to watch, but I just want to see what happens next season when I expect Hearts will be struggling to keep in touch with us and probably Celtic. They had a great chance this year to win the title, but threw it away and I don't think either of the Glasgow clubs will have as such a poor season again for a long time. I'd love to be a fly on the wall at Tynecastle at the moment.
  17. Scotland's Euro 2008 qualifying bid will kick off against the Faroe Islands at Celtic Park. Hampden Park is unavailable on 2 September because the national stadium is hosting a Robbie Williams concert. A number of clubs made bids to host the game but Celtic Park was the top choice of the Scottish Football Association. Chief executive David Taylor said: "We want to make a positive start, and with Hampden not being available then Celtic Park will provide a magnificent venue." Aberdeen were one of the teams to miss out but Taylor wants to reward them by taking an international match to Pittodrie soon. "I would like to publicly acknowledge the strong bid from Aberdeen FC to stage the match at Pittodrie, but we anticipate the crowd for the opening match of the Euro 2008 campaign will require a larger stadium," added Taylor. "However, there is great support for the national team in the north east of Scotland, and I would very much hope we will take Scotland's next home friendly match to Aberdeen." Scotland have been drawn in a very difficult qualifying group, which also includes France, Italy, Ukraine and Lithuania. _____________________ Ha, would of been a laugh having a Scotland game at Pittodrie. Can't believe a Robbie Williams concert is getting put above a Euro qualifier in importance. Just looking at that there, we have ZERO chance of qualifying for Euro 2008, and with that comes falling lower down the rankings, meaning we're be seeded lower for the World Cup qualifiers, which will mean just as hard a group as this one. No matter how much our national side improves, with our already awful world ranking and seeding position, it's gonna be very hard to qualify for anything anytime soon.
