I won’t tell you Scott Sinclair has not experienced racism until the last year, but I suspect it is highly unlikely he has had to endure the vitriolic abuse he has gone through as a Celtic player anywhere in England. He must be wondering what century he travelled to when encountering the kind of ‘people’ who celebrate their racism.
Yesterday his name and a racist slogan was pinned to a bonfire in Belfast. Humanity is weaker as a consequence.
Scott will travel to that town on Friday to play for Celtic, a game his team-mates will ensure goes the right way. What I can tell you about Scott, is that he will respond with overwhelming drive in the season ahead. Specifically, he will rip the turf up at Ibrox in September.

Bamboo wins the prize
WITS
Just dipping in so might be making a mug of myself here but are you at the wind up
or are there issues you’re aware of?
FWIW I believe SA is probably on his way out given no contract is signed yet.
Really hope not as he’s a class act.
Cheers

GO TELL THE SPARTIM
With the signing of Ntcham ,in your own opinion do you think Armstrong is more or less likely to stay on?
Language!!!
Long wait is over
Just messing about
TLWIO
Heavy sarcasm combined with a touch of taking the proverbial.
Mackey
Long wait
Last night ntcham was off to juventus and it was all lawwells fault.
Just demonstrating how fickle we can be
The news regarding SA’s contract had all been positive until the story was leaked this week that he needs to drop his demands.
I’m not half as confident as I was last week.
Armstrong will sign. Don’t be worrying
“Stuart stay or Stuart go now
Stuart stay or Stuart go now
If he stays his wages double
If he goes Lawwell’s in trouble
So come on and let us know
This indecision’s bugging me…”
My reckoning is he’ll either stay or leave.I am unable to read his mind so can’t say what he’s thinking.Maybe just wait till he’s decided then take it from there. ;)
WITS
You dont need to demonstrate how fickle we are. We know:)
That is the fun of the transfer window.
HH
Gents,
Thanks for the replies.
Still not confident SA is going to sign but I think I’ll stick to getting accurate information from the Daily Record… :-)

Having met Conairre I can confirm that he is religious but in no way easily offended
I in the other hand take exception to your narrow minded point about all religious people being easily offended
It takes courage nowadays to admit to being of any Christian faith in this country and isn’t helped by sweeping statements like yours

All Celtic supporters are being played ”
Whilst that is, of course, possible, it is also possible that it is not as simple as many think.
My own feeling is that the Scottish Authorities ( football , societal and political) will do all they can to keep the illusion of Rangers alive. It may well be that Celtic really do not know how to combat this.
JJ
Agree…SA stays great. If SA goes for decent dough great. We’ve got plenty midfielders.
What is the REALITY of Stuart Armstrong`s not having signed a new contract yet?
Has anyone at Celtic FC said anything ? Has Stuart said anything?
JJ
HOT SMOKED
In reality, its simple to combat it.
Call out the cheating,bigotry, and racism.
Pull out of Scottish Cup, dont let Celtic players play for Scotland.
And ban the huns from Celtic Park,until they get the message.
That is how to deal with it.
HH
I’ll wait and see re SA and wee Paddy
We have strengthened the squad so far but plenty can happen between now and the window slamming shut
TGM
In my experience, `simple solutions ` to matters in the public domain have never taken enough into consideration.

I think you’ve taken my post out of context.I wasn’t trying to cause offence. The original post by whoulyerwhest was clearly meant in jest which I found very funny and TBH I thought it was strange that anyone could find offence in it. PC overload IMO.
These were my only words..

Very funny, the big yin would laugh at that :)

The rest of it was a couple of quotes from Billy Connolly
HH
What we know is that contract negotiations are ongoing and Armstrong hasn’t said he wants to go anywhere.
He has said:
“You can never put a time limit on these things, but they normally take care of themselves,” added the former Dundee United star.
“Yes, it is the happiest I have been in my footballing career,” added Armstrong, who has scored 20 goals in 71 appearances for Celtic since joining them in 2015.
“That has shown on the park and I am very happy and playing well. I am playing some of the best football of my life. I am very, very happy.”

John Kennedy has said:
“Talks have been going pretty well with Stuart and his representatives and the club,” Kennedy said. “Stuart has loved it here and I think he is in a very good place.
“As much as adding to the squad, the important thing is getting players like Stuart tied down. That is probably more important for us. Hopefully things will be done pretty soon.”
I found the post funny myself DBHOY
Apologies if I misconstrued your original post
Welcome to Celtic Olivier En-cham.
HOT SMOKED
Sometimes in life, you have to take a stand.
Now, if the PLC are quite happy to see Celtic players subject to bigotry and racism, fair enough.
Surely that is not the case.
If anybody wants to come to Celtic Park to racially abuse Celtic players, they should be banned before they even get there.
This level of bigotry and racism cannot be allowed to go on.
It despicable.

Stuart Armstrong sponsored by Rita Rusk, season 2017/18..
Starry Plough
Be Farley’s Rusks, if he disnae sign:)
HH
I think Armstrong will sign, why, because apparently we’ve been tracking Olivier for over six months, so unless SA told BR he was leaving (which i doubt why else would we be offering him a new contract), then the signing of Olly is totally independent of SA.

Stuart Armstrong needs a break
He has had a busy summer studying all those recent High Court and Supreme Court cases
He needs his legal career to fall back on ( if Southampton dont come in for him)
HOT SMOKED
It’s all Celtic’s fault
Bed Wetters CSC
Wee Judy Murray’s got a gob on.
I think Armstrong will sign as well. Hes in a good place, still improving, in a good team under a great manager.
Can’t remember which international manager said it but theres an added momentum in international sides who have players that used to winning with their club every week.
