DrewDon Posted May 26, 2018 Share Posted May 26, 2018 Grown men getting wound up by flegs at football matches is always a good laugh. If Celtic fans want to wave the Irish tricolour, that is their right; if Rangers fans want to wave the Union Flag, that is also their right. Personally, I only identify as Scottish, but I'm totally relaxed about others being able to express their identities as freely as possible, even if I don't share in them. I'd hope the majority of reasonable people in Scotland would be, too. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Londonwell Posted May 26, 2018 Share Posted May 26, 2018 Hold on, are Celtic actually commissioning a study into how class they are? Thats some top level wankery right there. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Irish flags, IRA songs and all the sectarian shite is an engrained stain on Scottish football. The sooner you f**k off to a Euro league the better. 22 hours ago, tree house tam said: It makes no sense to me for Scottish people to do it. I'll be honest, the folk I know who went to Catholic schools all grew up Celtic fans, folk who went to chapel but regular schools all became Celtic fans even when they had very little interest in football. About 80% of these folk claimed Irish ancestry, which in most cases was utter bollocks. It's like a big scam or even a cult. You could say the same about the Religion, let's indoctrinate these fuckers while their minds are developing and we can scam the fuckers for the rest of their life. You've been had Willy*. As opposed to actually had Willy. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

senorsoupe Posted May 27, 2018 Share Posted May 27, 2018 Sviatchenko officially returning to Denmark https://www.bbc.com/sport/football/44275191 Sad that his Celtic career didn't progress after his really good first year (ish) in hoops. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The_Judge Posted May 28, 2018 Share Posted May 28, 2018 2 league titles, 2 league cups and a Scottish cup. If he hadn't agreed to go out on loan he'd have left Celtic Park with more domestic honours than Paul McStay . 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Greenlantern Posted May 29, 2018 Author Share Posted May 29, 2018 If reports are true, and Celtic are seriously considering a move for McGinn, bearing in mind i'm an admirer of his work, he'll really need to step his game up a considerable level. I've watched him with interest and he's a tendency to hide on occasions and shine in others. He won't be allowed that complacency at Celtic. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I really like McGinn, but we already have so many players battling out for the 3 midfield spots. In my opinion here is what the pecking order looks like in the centre of the midfield based on ability and recent playing time. 1. Brown 2. Ntcham 3. McGregor 4. Rogic 5. Armstrong 6. Kouassi 7. Bitton 8. Christie 9. Allan On current ability I would say McGinn probably would slot in behind Armstrong which would leave him as the 6th ranked midfielder battling for 3 positions. Would it really be worth it to spend the money on a depth player? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have no issue paying decent money for him as Ive mentioned possibly on this thread before it took Brown a couple of seasons to adapt to the extra pressure and games so might as well get him in now . Also Browns legs wont last forever and the rest above Mcginn could all want to leave in 2 years. Getting him in now will lessen any disruption.

I'm not super enthused about buying players that aren't better than someone currently in that position but 3 Mil could be a good investment for a player that potentially has another decade in him. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sounds about right. There is potential, just feel he'd be massively out of his depth especially in Europe. His next move will have a huge impact on his development. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is exactly why he shouldn't be going to Celtic. He isn't quite good enough yet to go straight in the first 11 and stay there. Ideally Celtic would buy him and loan him out to a fringe* European side like say, Rosenborg. *I know Celtic are basically that but Brownie, as Brendan likes a to call him, has 2 years max left at this level. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree McGinn isn't quite there yet, also I'd be overjoyed with another two years from our skipper, and we play him till the wheels fall off. However, it's rather short sighted of Celtic not to look ahead. So away from Hibs, where do you see McGinn flourishing, Bournemouth, Brighton, Sunderland? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He should follow the Andy Robertson route of going to a lower EPL side, and playing regularly at that level instead of dotting in and out Celtic's squad, and then try and win a move to one of the big six in that league. Takes longer to get to the money, but he'll be better off for it. Joining Celtic and have six top level games every season isnt going to bring him on any huge amount. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But apart from Celtic, only the aforementioned three clubs are interested in his talents. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
