The stories coming out or being confirmed post Rodgers are very revealing of the mindset of the club.
A key part of Rodgers stated reasons for joining Leicester- an ambitious club moving forward.
Now we have the story that the club accepted a bid from Brighton in January last year and were actively trying to punt him there.
McGinn is now worth £20m !! Has Rodgers got £40m for Forrest and McGregor?
Anyone with any insight on the clubs motivation on Tierney last summer? Was Lawwell hawking him with the knowledge of his dad right enough?

Good morning all… Grand Day in the Chilterns…
MULLET AND CO 2 @ 8:52 AM,
The stories coming out or being confirmed post Rodgers are very revealing of the mindset of the club.
Well it’s all very confusing, you have got to say the whirlwind campaign to blacken Brendan’s Rodgers name is unprecedented.
We need to ask what sort of people are running our Club would see this As good business!?
It’s like watching John Ross Ewing in action. Since the summer the actions of the Celtic Board has confirmed and more what I’ve long suspected.
We won’t know the facts for some time. One thing that interested me was BR saying he’d come back to manage Celtic… if he has any ambitions to complete his unfinished business here he’ll have to explain just what’s been going on.
For now, the fact is, for me, the Football team is who I support. That’s it. Just the team one game at a time… don’t care if we win, lose or draw…
Today I’ll be hoping that Aberdeen beat Sevco, true I always want any team out of Ibrox to lose. But there is an extra motivation today… Sevco Rangers with the way they are playing and match officials on Amber alert have a good chance of beating us…
Eight months ago you would never think it likely…

Brendan Rodgers, great manager, but now i cant suffer the guy.
But hears the thing how do I get rid of my copy of “Brendan Rodgers” the official autobiography.
IS there a charity that accepts unwanted books ?
Celtic are set to set up a partnership with Karpaty Lviv after they signed winger Maryan Shved, according to the Ukrainian club.
And they revealed they allowed their star man to go to Celtic despite getting an offer of £500,000 more from another European club

Just a thought on Scott Sinclair, I have seen a post or 2 saying he should do more.
I sometimes fall into that bracket, BUT, only in the final third, when you look at the amount of work he puts in defending and supporting from midfield wide areas it’s actually quite outstanding. Although we tend to think of our wide players as old fashioned wingers, the modern day game demands so much more from our wide men. SS and JF do some amount of tracking, shutting down, closing out spaces, pushing forward, creating goals and of course scoring goals.
So we should enjoy these players for all the work they put in. ?
Only my opinion of course, and sometimes I am too quick to criticise these 2 players, but I should think before I jump in.
All my opinion of course.

That was the week that was its over let it go
Celtic’s hard Brexit for sure and this time last week we were in deep with Motherwell’s indescretion with a previously unseen type of ‘goal.’ BR we’re told made a ‘snap’ decision but the club acted quickly appointed the right man, and the transition was smooth despite some in the ‘green’ side of Edinburgh showing hunnish tendency Scott Sinclair and Celtic have survived
I agree with EC67’s post yesterday and Neil Francis Lennon presents an unexpected twist for our enemies to consider in the now rebel triple treble treble and I expect today we’ll see the continuation of how channelling the Scottish Cup towards Ibrokes will unfold, thats if Aberdeen don’t find some form and give Sevco a decent game, if they do there will be mibbery and it’ll be decisive.
I liked NFL’s changes yesterday he put his stamp down quickly and I don’t recall Scott Bain getting involved in unneccessary passing across the back? Burke and Edouard can play in the same side, and the Celtic pro’s especially Scott Brown killed any BR’s hangover notion. NFL got the two players he displaced from Wednesday onto the park in the end, and he now has a free week to prepare for the run in.

I thought SS was immense yesterday in what he did as a team player, shutting down, getting us up the park and constantly being up against two or three opponents.
He never hides and he never stops working, we all love a bit of wing bling but todays wingers are and have to be so much more than that.
When JF came inside he changed the game and upset Hib’s defence plan, enjoyed watching both of our wingers yesterday influence the game to get us the result.
Take a bow James and Scott

Rodgers on the Leicester job: “I’m 100 per cent committed to being here for a period of time.” ?
After two excellent victories away from Home, I should be surprised that some still want to mention negatives about our Club. Unfortunately, I am not.
JJ
PS I remember years ago, one of Peter lorimer`s rocket shots being timed. How fast was Broony`s yesterday?
PPS Winning against Hearts and a resurgent Hibs without Calum and Ryan augurs well for when they come back.
Hibs/Level 5, saying a bottle was thrown from our end yesterday, prove it….
Bada,
Where is that from? ( The `news`, not the bottle !).
HS
Hibs have issued a statement saying that there were two bottles.
This will now be known as ‘The Unseen Fenian Bottle’
Bada
It`s OK. I`ve seen it. Hmmm….
The media are blatantly running the agenda on bigotry, sectarianism and “krowd trubbil at foodbaw”…..the sleekit SNP will no doubt attempt a zombie revival of the OBAF……..THAT bottle may have landed at Sincy’s feet but the issue lies at the door of Scottish society.
Bigotry isn’t a football thing, it’s a Scottish thing.
‘Mon Scotland, Tackle The Problem, Not The Victim.
BSR
Thanks anyway.
There`s a channel on Freeview `dealing` with aliens and strange happenings. I suspect the Celtic Bottle will appear on there soon.
JJ
……I’m sure we’ll soon see tye emergence of the …”Zaproddy Film”………capturing the fatal arc of said retaliatory Buckie Boattle……..
:))))))))

“Bigotry isn’t a football thing, it’s a Scottish thing.”
I think it is a universal thing but much worse in Scotland than in, say, Wales and England.
Whilst it is treated as a football problem in Caledonia Fair, it will never go away.

I too read the statement. Are they mixing up the flare which was thrown with a bottle? as they mention this too in the article.

Hh
Teuchter ar la admitted on here yesterday to drinking Buckie. So,if the Police are looking for a suspect….
I see Scotty Sinclair has posted that he’s now made 150 appearances for Celtic, saying “Time flies when you are enjoying yourself”.
Anyone know how many goals he’s scored in those 150 appearances?
The “bottle” clearly comes from the section where the hibs teeny ultras hang out. Thats unless the bottle is really a boomerang!
Rodgers contacting James Forrest by phone.
Is that hime started the tapping up of our squad already?
KT and Callum next for the treatment?
If any offers come our way from Leicester, Celtic should make it clear to the players concerned that there are no circumstances under which we will sell players to Brendan Rodgers.
If they are determined to leave Celtic, they can go anywhere but Leicester.
Hot Smoked – I agree of course, my context is Scotland and the scoddish meeja mostly.
I’ll leave others better qualified to comment on worldly matters!
In our wee world, in my Lifetime , The Beautiful Game has been hi-jacked by the huns and I want it back withoooot having to pay a hunned-up ransom in the form of made-up guff and bent legislation.

Thank You Celtic.
What an amazing club.
….and I’d also appreciate some grown-up journalism to properly frame the discussion and open up an honest discourse on the subject!

And you annoyed me also Peter.
Consuming 4 or 5 pints for breakfast in Belfast before we had a proper drink probably wasn’t a good idea. Trouble was bound to ensue.
The immovable object and the unstoppable force.
Still a hero and a legend to me anyway, regardless of a silly, drunken dispute.
Still Celtic.
HH mo chara. ? ?
We just sit back and take the media lies on a daily basis, and do and say nothing about it….

Now ouldn`t that be something ! A Green Brigade Collection for a statue for Brendan is more likely !
Cheerio for now.

The Sunday Times @ Chief Sports Writer David Walsh
Cold-hearted opportunism trumped sentimental talk of boyhood allegiance for Bredan Rodgers when Leicester City job came up — and Celtic fans won’t forget
At the turn of the century Middlesbrough signed Alen Boksic. They paid Lazio £2.5m for a player who had played in two Champions League finals, winning one with Marseilles. Boksic did not come cheaply. In the dressing room it was believed he was on £63,000 a week. That was £63k after tax. It was widely believed Boksic was then the Premier League’s highest earner.
In his three years at the club the Croatia striker scored some terrific goals and delivered moments that showed Boro fans the player he had once been. Alas, Boksic took the money without ever giving of himself. During running drills at training he did not so much excuse himself as walk nonchalantly to one side. The local newspaper ran a story that he’d had six viruses over his time at Boro, all of which coincided with tough away games.
One morning in January 2003 the Boro players turned up for training and the space where Alen had sat for more than two and a half seasons was empty. Nobody knew he had left. There were no goodbyes, no promises to keep in touch, and since then no postcards from the Dalmatian coast. Michael Ricketts arrived from Bolton and was told to sit where Boksic had sat.
On Monday last week Brendan Rodgers supervised first-team training at Celtic. Like Boksic, Rodgers had given two-and-a-half years to the club. After training ended Rodgers left and never came back. No goodbyes, no explanation to his players about why he had to depart at such a pivotal moment and, of course, no hanging around to explain to fans who wouldn’t have understood anyway. The difference between Boksic and Rodgers is this: Middlesbrough’s fans knew what they were getting with Boksic. At Celtic Park it was different. They believed Brendan Rodgers when he told them he had been born into a Celtic-family in County Antrim, they lapped it up when he assured them Celtic was not just another step on his managerial ladder. “Dream job,” was the phrase he used.
Hell hath no fury like that of duped and jilted football fans and the hostility towards Rodgers from those who previously lionised him has been intense and hateful. Time will pass, people move on and find new things to fret about, but there is a good chance Rodgers, an extraordinarily successful Celtic manager, will never, ever, be welcomed back to Celtic Park. His record in domestic competitions was close to perfect. Seven potential trophies became seven actual trophies. Two league titles, two Scottish cups, three League Cups, and in his time at the club Celtic won 24 consecutive domestic cup games. It is so easy in football to have one slip, one night when the preparation isn’t right and the team gets beaten by a pumped-up underdog. Rodgers never let that happen.
It is true that his team played football that was easy to watch. Celtic fans liked that. Most of all, though, they loved him because he could not resist telling them that he was of their tribe. Their dream of winning 10 consecutive Scottish league titles was his dream and, now on seven, he could help them to realise it. Inside the club, the view of Rodgers was not quite so adoring. His first season was outstanding and the team had competed well in the Champions League, twice drawing with Pep Guardiola’s Manchester City. Since then, the team have remained dominant in domestic competition but have performed less well in the Champions League, failing to qualify for the group stages this year.
Hearing Rodgers complain about Celtic having nothing like the resources of Zenit Saint Petersburg or Valencia irritated some at the club, especially when the moaning came soon after Celtic had agreed to pay a record £9m for the Paris Saint-Germain striker Odsonne Edouard. During Rodgers’ time at the club, Celtic’s wage bill doubled.
It was noted too that while he complained about European rivals with more funds, his recruitment of new players had been far from prudent. They smiled to themselves too about how he never mentioned the huge advantage he enjoyed over his Scottish rivals in terms of resources. Aberdeen twice finished second in the SPL with their top-earning player on £2,500-a-week.
They look at the first-team squad Rodgers has left behind and, counting all the loan-signings, the overall number runs to 37, which means several of them can’t actually train with the first team. All that would have been forgiven and forgotten had Rodgers chosen to leave Celtic in the right way. At 46 he is probably too young to have known Paul Simon’s song “Fifty Ways to Leave Your Lover” but it seems like he was guided by it: “You just slip out the back, Jack, make a new plan, Stan/you don’t need to be coy, Roy, just get yourself free/Hop on the bus, Gus, you don’t need to discuss much/Just drop off the key, Lee, and get yourself free.”
Rodgers’ choice was straightforward. Stay until the end of the season, help Celtic win the domestic treble for the third consecutive season and then explain that it was time to move on. People would have been disappointed but understanding. They would have felt respected and wished him well. Now, the phrase on the banner is damning: “Never a Celt, Always a fraud.”
At first the word out of Leicester was that the club were prepared to wait until the end of the season if that’s what it would take to get their man. Rodgers insists this was not the case, that Leicester weren’t prepared to wait. Either way, this matters not a whit. Rodgers had a choice and he chose to leave Celtic with 11 games of their season remaining. He chose to exit his boyhood club and his dream job by the back door.
He should be a success at Leicester, at least in the short to medium term. There will be slogans on the changing room walls, plenty of talk of values and honesty and everybody being in it together. Leicester’s players will enjoy the tactics and the one-to-one conversations because Rodgers is good at these.
They should be wary, though, in Leicester. Paul Simon was right. There are 50 ways to leave your lover.
Rodgers chose the wrong way.
