+x+x+x+x+x+x+x+x+xthere's no rumours about any more australian's headed to celtic. but he is still to secure a CB and a RB. He was said in an interview their transfer priorities were a CB, RB, and L/RW. Seems like Brighton will take Edouard once the ben white money is through so Im guessing they will probably look at a striker. On the wings they've picked up Abada - and Furuhashi has landed in london for quarantine but still needs to do a medical In CB and Starfelt has or is coming soon. Also the 2 young guys Shaw(?) as a fullback and Urhoghide in CB. My question - what Australian's do you think they are likely to pick up if any?? I honestly dont think Ange will even be looking our way for the moment. But I can think of a few who who would be decent pick ups. Limitations - they need to be young prospects with onsell worth with NT caps for UK visa rules. Or they need to be well established snr players that can walk into the first 11 - which would be mooy or ryan and so there is no one else really that fits this. 3 signings for celtic that I can see being decent and fitting Ange's style of play. -Atkinson in RB but he will need to get capped for the NT first which is pretty likely. He has decent onsell value. -Sainsbury in CB - I would say Degenek, but his passing is a bit suspect at times and might not fit Ange's style. Also he was dropped from Ange's yokohama. Maybe Curtis Good now he is getting games under his belt without the injuries. -Rukavytsya up front - but in writing this I've just seen he has signed for Perth. Doesn't really fit the limitations, but he would be a decent cheap signing that could have been a solid goal scoring backup striker. Celtic would be well aware of him having shown they scout the Israeli league. There's still talk of mooy going to us. Real real shame Ryan didn't come as he would be certain starter and fit anges system perfectly bringing his best football out. In terms of other players either Atkinson or Grant would both be an upgrade on Ralston. Smith or Behich on the left too would be upgrade on Taylor and suit the style better. Good or Sainsbury as ball playing center backs, mass loungo as a backup number 8. Other than those I cant see too many realistic options. Whilst I'm glad that you rate Australian players, I honestly don't think that any of the highlighted players are good enough to be playing for Celtic. PSV fans I talk to rate Behich and Sainsbury as two of the worst players that they've had in recent years [1 fan went as far to say that Behich is the worst player he's ever seen play for PSV], whilst I don't think that Good's body could handle the type of schedule that Celtic has without the constant breakdowns he had during his time at Newcastle. On the other players mentioned, I think Atkinson needs another year or two of regular football at Melb. City before he's ready to make the jump imo, while I also don't really rate Grant that highly. Admittedly, I don't see as much of him as some of the forum regulars, so maybe I'm missing something. I think he's got a big engine and a good work rate, but I don't think he has the technical skills required to have a successful European career. Smith's in a good spot at Seattle, so it'd be foolish for him to consider leaving, and Luongo has only played 43 games from a possible 103 games since signing for Sheffield Wednesday, which suggests he's either injury prone or out of favour: not good enough to earn a move again. Are you actually familiar with Celtics players? Again, the players i mention are better than the current incumbents. Not saying any of those transfers will ever happen but just saying those players are better than the incumbents. Nothing in above you said disproved that None of the players you mentioned IMHO are anywhere near good enough to be playing for Celtic, and would also have a challenge displacing those already there and ahead of them. If when the board finally pulls their finger out of their arses hopefully we will see strength added were needed - ie wing-backs ( both sides), an extra CD (we just signed Starfelt, and need probably one more), and a new keeper (fingers crossed I'm hoping for Forster return). ______ I do have a personal question for you. There is no real wrong answer ( depends on who you ask 😉 ).... What comes first for you, Celtic or Australian players?? The reason I ask is, you seem fine settling/suggesting players (Australians) which to be blunt (IMO) are not Celtic calibre players. So tell me... you're in the play ground picking your sides, Ralston, grant and Atkinson are the last 3 players left, its your turn and you just so happen to need a RB.. you mean to tell me seriously that you're picking Ralston ahead of the other 2? I wouldnae be picking any of the four players you just mentioned. Out of the current crop of players we currently have available, I would be picking Lee O'Connor ahead of all four of those players mentioned. I'm not arguing that Ralston is a better player to those three Australian players you mentioned, as he is utter shite. What I'm am saying is none of those three players (four if you count Ralston) are Celtic calibre players, and should be nowhere near a Celtic top. Ralston gets a slight pass due to coming through the youth ranks. As for the senior team, he can get ta fuck away from the top. _______ SIDE NOTE: Are you going to answer the question that I asked you in the earlier post?? The reason I'm asking is I am genuinely interested in your thoughts on the topic 🙂 Mate are you watching the Spain game now? Still think that Atkinson isn't celtic quality?!? Another thing ... I named mooy and Ryan in my original post. Are you seriously trying to claim they aren't celtic quality either? Not only are they good enough for celtic they would be stars in our current team. The current celtic are a far cry from the days of buying 2 of the better strikers in the prem (sutton and Hartson). I think to be a foreign player, whether it's the a league or abroad, you have to be not just good enough for the team but one of the best in the team. If you aren't then fans quickly complain that you are blocking the development of domestic players - mediocre domestic players almost always get favoured over above average foreign players. Add to that the fact that the stereotypes about coming from australia is probably similar to how we would feel if an a league club bought a young player who was doing well in the singapore league. Every time an aussie gets signed I go onto the club forums to take a look (often using google translate) and there is often irritation that they have signed an aussie and the board should spend some money on someone decent. Fan outrage puts pressure on the coach (who is also constantly worrying about their job) so a single mistake could be the end of your career. Compare that to a promising young player from brazil with a bit of hype about them and they get proper time. Then you get the fact that you will be home sick and disorientated and playing 20% below your best for the first year or two while you adapt to being a young person living in a foreign country (I say this from experience). You really need to dominate the domestic league to have a chance. It's not about being good enough, it's about being better then the typical starting player in the side. If you came through their academy, even for one year, a lot of those factors are no longer there. You have adjusted to the country, fans encourage coaches to give development players more chances and their is no anger at playing them (though you will still get stereotype threat if you aren't from a big country). Having said that, you are part of a big crowd of kids that also went through the academy I think atkinson played a 1000 minutes this year. Is he good enough that if he played in the national team against players of celtic pedigree or higher that he would hold his own or better? Yes absolutely! Is he ready to overcome all of that? No in my opinion Good post.

I think he's got a big engine and a good work rate, but I don't think he has the technical skills required to have a successful European career. Smith's in a good spot at Seattle, so it'd be foolish for him to consider leaving, and Luongo has only played 43 games from a possible 103 games since signing for Sheffield Wednesday, which suggests he's either injury prone or out of favour: not good enough to earn a move again. I agree with you that, while we hope Aussie players do well, quite a few are overrated. As regards Sainsbury, specifically, I feel as if that criticism from those PSV fans is surely a bit rough. A non-Aussie mate of mine (who has played football overseas at quite a high level and understands the game very well) was very impressed by Australia's defence at the 2018 World Cup. And Trent Sainsbury was a key part of that defence. For what it's worth, this particular friend has never stepped foot in Australia (so not exactly pro-Aussie). Admittedly, that's not exactly the same thing as a diehard PSV fan who keeps close tabs on all the players in the squad.

+x+x+x+x+x+x+x+xthere's no rumours about any more australian's headed to celtic. but he is still to secure a CB and a RB. He was said in an interview their transfer priorities were a CB, RB, and L/RW. Seems like Brighton will take Edouard once the ben white money is through so Im guessing they will probably look at a striker. On the wings they've picked up Abada - and Furuhashi has landed in london for quarantine but still needs to do a medical In CB and Starfelt has or is coming soon. Also the 2 young guys Shaw(?) as a fullback and Urhoghide in CB. My question - what Australian's do you think they are likely to pick up if any?? I honestly dont think Ange will even be looking our way for the moment. But I can think of a few who who would be decent pick ups. Limitations - they need to be young prospects with onsell worth with NT caps for UK visa rules. Or they need to be well established snr players that can walk into the first 11 - which would be mooy or ryan and so there is no one else really that fits this. 3 signings for celtic that I can see being decent and fitting Ange's style of play. -Atkinson in RB but he will need to get capped for the NT first which is pretty likely. He has decent onsell value. -Sainsbury in CB - I would say Degenek, but his passing is a bit suspect at times and might not fit Ange's style. Also he was dropped from Ange's yokohama. Maybe Curtis Good now he is getting games under his belt without the injuries. -Rukavytsya up front - but in writing this I've just seen he has signed for Perth. Doesn't really fit the limitations, but he would be a decent cheap signing that could have been a solid goal scoring backup striker. Celtic would be well aware of him having shown they scout the Israeli league. There's still talk of mooy going to us. Real real shame Ryan didn't come as he would be certain starter and fit anges system perfectly bringing his best football out. In terms of other players either Atkinson or Grant would both be an upgrade on Ralston. Smith or Behich on the left too would be upgrade on Taylor and suit the style better. Good or Sainsbury as ball playing center backs, mass loungo as a backup number 8. Other than those I cant see too many realistic options. Whilst I'm glad that you rate Australian players, I honestly don't think that any of the highlighted players are good enough to be playing for Celtic. PSV fans I talk to rate Behich and Sainsbury as two of the worst players that they've had in recent years [1 fan went as far to say that Behich is the worst player he's ever seen play for PSV], whilst I don't think that Good's body could handle the type of schedule that Celtic has without the constant breakdowns he had during his time at Newcastle. On the other players mentioned, I think Atkinson needs another year or two of regular football at Melb. City before he's ready to make the jump imo, while I also don't really rate Grant that highly. Admittedly, I don't see as much of him as some of the forum regulars, so maybe I'm missing something. I think he's got a big engine and a good work rate, but I don't think he has the technical skills required to have a successful European career. Smith's in a good spot at Seattle, so it'd be foolish for him to consider leaving, and Luongo has only played 43 games from a possible 103 games since signing for Sheffield Wednesday, which suggests he's either injury prone or out of favour: not good enough to earn a move again. Are you actually familiar with Celtics players? Again, the players i mention are better than the current incumbents. Not saying any of those transfers will ever happen but just saying those players are better than the incumbents. Nothing in above you said disproved that None of the players you mentioned IMHO are anywhere near good enough to be playing for Celtic, and would also have a challenge displacing those already there and ahead of them. If when the board finally pulls their finger out of their arses hopefully we will see strength added were needed - ie wing-backs ( both sides), an extra CD (we just signed Starfelt, and need probably one more), and a new keeper (fingers crossed I'm hoping for Forster return). ______ I do have a personal question for you. There is no real wrong answer ( depends on who you ask 😉 ).... What comes first for you, Celtic or Australian players?? The reason I ask is, you seem fine settling/suggesting players (Australians) which to be blunt (IMO) are not Celtic calibre players. So tell me... you're in the play ground picking your sides, Ralston, grant and Atkinson are the last 3 players left, its your turn and you just so happen to need a RB.. you mean to tell me seriously that you're picking Ralston ahead of the other 2? I wouldnae be picking any of the four players you just mentioned. Out of the current crop of players we currently have available, I would be picking Lee O'Connor ahead of all four of those players mentioned. I'm not arguing that Ralston is a better player to those three Australian players you mentioned, as he is utter shite. What I'm am saying is none of those three players (four if you count Ralston) are Celtic calibre players, and should be nowhere near a Celtic top. Ralston gets a slight pass due to coming through the youth ranks. As for the senior team, he can get ta fuck away from the top. _______ SIDE NOTE: Are you going to answer the question that I asked you in the earlier post?? The reason I'm asking is I am genuinely interested in your thoughts on the topic 🙂 Mate are you watching the Spain game now? Still think that Atkinson isn't celtic quality?!? Another thing ... I named mooy and Ryan in my original post. Are you seriously trying to claim they aren't celtic quality either? He's easily an upgrade on Ralston, even more so in ange ball. Not only are they good enough for celtic they would be stars in our current team. The current celtic are a far cry from the days of buying 2 of the better strikers in the prem (sutton and Hartson). As for Ralston I have said he isn't good enough for Celtic, and will barely see many minutes if he is still around come the close of the transfer window. What I am saying is we need to be targeting a higher calibre of players then those that you have mentioned/put forth. That's my own personal view - If you think that those are good enough, and are the type of players we should be targeting/chasing, than I'm going to have to agree to disagree, as IMO you haven't set the bar high enough (just my take on the situation). As for Mooy I like him, and I do believe he could offer Celtic something. Whether or not he would be willing to take the necessary huge pay cut needed for us to have any chance at signing him is out of our control. As for Ryan, that ship has sailed, so there is really is no need bringing him up. That being said, as much as I like Ryan, if it was a straight choice between Ryan and Forster, Forster get my vote everytime, though deep down I know that move is highly unlikely to happen also. I've been properly following Celtic since the mid/late eighties (not the most enjoyable time to be a Tim) so you don't really need to tell/remind me that times have changed, all due to the stupid crazy money that has flooded into the game (mostly to those south of the border) and has destroyed any chance that Celtic (and Rangers) will ever have at reaching our full potential, and hence why we have pretty much become a feeder club to those clubs who play in the leagues awashed with coin. ___________ Also, you are still to answered the question I asked you several post ago. Am I to take your silence on the topic that you don't wish to respond to the the question?? If that's the case that's fine, but an acknowledgement would have been nice 🙂

+xI follow about four different Celtic FB pages and 90% of fans are angry at the Board, not Ange, including well known player/commentators like Sutton. There’s wide acknowledgement the squad has little depth for a strong campaign domesitcally or in Europe and needs a number of experienced players. Still, too many beltings like that Ange may still be a sacrificial lamb. Yep, the board had been fucking around doing the bare minimum for years as their sole attention was on the SPFL, not Europe (even Lennon wasn't given the backing he needed the past season and a half - which ended in utter disaster). Don't get me wrong Lawwell did way more good the not, and has put our club in an extremely strong financial position. It's just he, and other board members took their eyes off the section that needed their full attention - strengthening the playing squad. They doing everything on the cheap, only keeping their eyes on the SFPL (Scotland) and not Europe has put us in the position we currently find ourselves in. I'm really hoping that Dominic McKay will bring a new way of running things, and gives the areas that need the most attention and help their proper dues and fix things sooner than later. I guess only time will tell 😕

So tell me... you're in the play ground picking your sides, Ralston, grant and Atkinson are the last 3 players left, its your turn and you just so happen to need a RB.. you mean to tell me seriously that you're picking Ralston ahead of the other 2? I think the point being made is you could name over 100 right backs playing closer to Scotland that are better than Ralston, Ralston isn't going to be first choice right back and is only there to make up the numbers on a team sheet when the season starts. Have a look at previous rbs, Jonjoe Kenny who came off the back of a full season in the Bundesliga wasn't good enough, Jeremy Toljan who was a backup Dortmund player now playing regulary in the Serie A wasn't good enough- Somehow I don't think a 30 year old Rhyan Grant who has only played in the A-league will be looked at. A bid of 2-3m for Aurélio Buta has been submitted according to the press.

I follow about four different Celtic FB pages and 90% of fans are angry at the Board, not Ange, including well known player/commentators like Sutton. There’s wide acknowledgement the squad has little depth for a strong campaign domesitcally or in Europe and needs a number of experienced players. Still, too many beltings like that Ange may still be a sacrificial lamb.

+x+x+x+x+xthere's no rumours about any more australian's headed to celtic. but he is still to secure a CB and a RB. He was said in an interview their transfer priorities were a CB, RB, and L/RW. Seems like Brighton will take Edouard once the ben white money is through so Im guessing they will probably look at a striker. On the wings they've picked up Abada - and Furuhashi has landed in london for quarantine but still needs to do a medical In CB and Starfelt has or is coming soon. Also the 2 young guys Shaw(?) as a fullback and Urhoghide in CB. My question - what Australian's do you think they are likely to pick up if any?? I honestly dont think Ange will even be looking our way for the moment. But I can think of a few who who would be decent pick ups. Limitations - they need to be young prospects with onsell worth with NT caps for UK visa rules. Or they need to be well established snr players that can walk into the first 11 - which would be mooy or ryan and so there is no one else really that fits this. 3 signings for celtic that I can see being decent and fitting Ange's style of play. -Atkinson in RB but he will need to get capped for the NT first which is pretty likely. He has decent onsell value. -Sainsbury in CB - I would say Degenek, but his passing is a bit suspect at times and might not fit Ange's style. Also he was dropped from Ange's yokohama. Maybe Curtis Good now he is getting games under his belt without the injuries. -Rukavytsya up front - but in writing this I've just seen he has signed for Perth. Doesn't really fit the limitations, but he would be a decent cheap signing that could have been a solid goal scoring backup striker. Celtic would be well aware of him having shown they scout the Israeli league. There's still talk of mooy going to us. Real real shame Ryan didn't come as he would be certain starter and fit anges system perfectly bringing his best football out. In terms of other players either Atkinson or Grant would both be an upgrade on Ralston. Smith or Behich on the left too would be upgrade on Taylor and suit the style better. Good or Sainsbury as ball playing center backs, mass loungo as a backup number 8. Other than those I cant see too many realistic options. Whilst I'm glad that you rate Australian players, I honestly don't think that any of the highlighted players are good enough to be playing for Celtic. PSV fans I talk to rate Behich and Sainsbury as two of the worst players that they've had in recent years [1 fan went as far to say that Behich is the worst player he's ever seen play for PSV], whilst I don't think that Good's body could handle the type of schedule that Celtic has without the constant breakdowns he had during his time at Newcastle. On the other players mentioned, I think Atkinson needs another year or two of regular football at Melb. City before he's ready to make the jump imo, while I also don't really rate Grant that highly. Admittedly, I don't see as much of him as some of the forum regulars, so maybe I'm missing something. I think he's got a big engine and a good work rate, but I don't think he has the technical skills required to have a successful European career. Smith's in a good spot at Seattle, so it'd be foolish for him to consider leaving, and Luongo has only played 43 games from a possible 103 games since signing for Sheffield Wednesday, which suggests he's either injury prone or out of favour: not good enough to earn a move again. Are you actually familiar with Celtics players? Again, the players i mention are better than the current incumbents. Not saying any of those transfers will ever happen but just saying those players are better than the incumbents. Nothing in above you said disproved that None of the players you mentioned IMHO are anywhere near good enough to be playing for Celtic, and would also have a challenge displacing those already there and ahead of them. If when the board finally pulls their finger out of their arses hopefully we will see strength added were needed - ie wing-backs ( both sides), an extra CD (we just signed Starfelt, and need probably one more), and a new keeper (fingers crossed I'm hoping for Forster return). ______ I do have a personal question for you. There is no real wrong answer ( depends on who you ask 😉 ).... What comes first for you, Celtic or Australian players?? The reason I ask is, you seem fine settling/suggesting players (Australians) which to be blunt (IMO) are not Celtic calibre players. So tell me... you're in the play ground picking your sides, Ralston, grant and Atkinson are the last 3 players left, its your turn and you just so happen to need a RB.. you mean to tell me seriously that you're picking Ralston ahead of the other 2?

Ryan Grant lol, Ralston is only playing because he's getting paid peanuts- will be sitting on the bench or in the stands for most games this season. We aren't winning anything with Barkas in goal, worst GK I've seen at Celtic, Ange better give up this experiment of playing him again and at least play it safe with Bain until we get someone better in. state of this https://pbs.twimg.com/media/E7Ed0lUXEAc1NIL?format=jpg&name=mediumFT: Celtic 2 West Ham 6 even though it was a friendly that was embarrassing, the guy who scored West Hams last goal was released from Celtic about a month ago haha. Ange has been hung out to dry so far given that backline would be a mid table spfl defence at best, however I'm not sure what lessons were learnt that we didn't already know, now we're going into the 2nd leg of a Champions League qualifier with 0 confidence, will be an interesting press conference coming up I'd assume.

+xSo I have Kayo and it seems that will get me SPFL matches but not tonight’s friendly. Anyone know how to stream just tonight’s match? My internet searching and attempt at a one game Celtic tv approach has failed. If you never got a stream ( i have one i can message you. ), then you'll be happy as they are getting horsed 1-3 at half time.

Wish Ange and Rogic well and all but still never be a fan of celtic or rangers 😝 Fair enough, and nothing wrong at all with that. The question that I have for you is, if you are still going to stick with your beliefs that a manager should be fired if he fails to lead the team to the Champions League Group Stage and the miss out on the £30mil‐£40mil prize money (like you declared with Lennon when he missed out of qualifying last season) or if you have changed your tune/to be somewhat of a hypocrite and think the manager should keep his job regardless of missing out on the £30mil-£40mil?? 🤔 Lennon was in the job for 2nd stint for what 2 years? Had started going backwards and apparently ‘lost the locker room’ so just downhill from there - and losing 4-1 twice to Sparta Prague was 1 of the last nails in his coffin. Sure Ange won’t be treated any less harshly by club/fans if he doesn’t produce results after year or so Lennon's first stint was 4 and a bit seasons. He also has a better record in the Champions League then all those who came in after his first stint - including Rodgers. He took Celtic to the Group Stage a couple of seasons in a row, even making the final 16, beating Barcelona on the way. Other then that bit of information you missed/didn't know, the rest is pretty much spot on. I do respect your passion that you have for your football club BB. I’m a stirrer of the pot on this forum as you know 😉 And hard for all Aus football fans not to be interested in Ange plying his trade at a very big/famous club Nice try, you are nothing but a hater on all things Scottish. +x+x+x+x+x+x+x+x+x+x+x+x+x+x📅 Should #CelticFC progress to the UEFA Champions League 3rd Qualifying Round, we will face either PSV or Galatasaray.

Yet again you’re interfering in a chat that has fuck all to do with you... i admit Not a big fan of things from glasgow. Rest of Scotland i will support, especially with some of my ancestors being from the MacGilvray clan on Isle Of Mull, and some of them even fought and died at Battle of Culloden- not that I expect you of all creatures to give a shit This isnae messenger, but a forum which anyone can contribute to any topic. You really are a bitter little fanboy. You keep starting these arguments you dumb fuck. Don’t complain about what YOU started... I am not complaining or verbally attacking folk due to a lack of intelligence. I have not started any arguments either. Well done ‘ShitLandBear’ you’re derailing another thread. Who started this argument then?! And the previous one?? Must have been the tooth fairy 🤔 if you wanna get upset/annoyed/sooky😓 with what i write to other forum members then stop typing BULLSHIT directed at me...
