    Aye mate.

    Think its in your 'user CP' section. I'd advise everyone to do it.

    If he ends up talking to himself he will soon get bored.

    Roberts is a better player than Forrest, for me. His vision and end product is great for someone his age and you can tell he has improved since joining over a year ago.

    He should really be looking to stay. Won't cut it at Man City immediately so they'll no doubt get rid or let him rot.

    He knows what he's getting here and plenty of time for a move to a decent EPL team. He won't get that if he goes back to his parent club.

    I know what he'll choose though...

    Wish this was an option in real life. It'd be on burnout for me.

    Just watched his play for Moussa's and Armstrong's goals. He's just ridiculously skillful

    The run up to the second goal even my old man said it was shades of Jinky with the 2 men on him yet in one drop of the shoulder he was away.

    Before anyone says, obviously he can't be mentioned in terms of being at that sort of status but his style is a joy to watch. My kind of winger. Bit of a throwback.

    The comparisons to Messi's style of play are there. Small, agile and can bamboozle defenders with a quick shoulder drop.

    I done it last night mate, and you're right I feel better already, just knowing Wanyamas guff isn't gonna appear on my screen.

    Good times, cheers Mr Monaghan :50:

    That game was perfectly suited to him. He's so much better against packed defences than Forrest is. He showed (again) what he can do when he came on, and might have played himself into the starting line-up.

    A was screaming out for Forrest to take on players before paddy came on.

    The wee man came on, drove at them and took them on and created 2 good goals from it.

    A really hope we can hold on to him he is class

    No doubt in my mind that Roberts would have a lot more minutes under his belt this season if he had a 4 year contract. Brendan knows how the Roberts situation is most likely to unfold.

    It's not as simple as that, though. Forrest has worked on his game a lot this season, and despite not having half the talent of Roberts, he probably has notably better athleticism. He's a lot more powerful with his running and Rodgers likes having that, down the right, in the big games.

    If Roberts commits to Celtic - That's when our coaching team will 100% commit to developing him. While we have another player in the squad (Forrest) who is capable of doing a job, and importantly our own player, he will continue to get a fair crack at the whip. Rightly so.

    PR on @ScottishFA Cup draw: "It's good to have home game, a decent draw

    PR on starting in midweek: "Up to the manager. He picks the team & all the players in the squad are doing their best to win games."

    PR: "We had to find the right areas to exploit & we did that through Scotty – I don’t know if he meant it...but it was a great goal."


    PR: "After 3 weeks, you can be a bit rusty but we came back from Dubai confident, positive and raring to go."

    PR: "It was a great result for us and it takes us into the league game now."


    PR: "The team spirit has been brilliant since day one of the manager coming in


    PR: "We have had good times & fun together, and good times on the pitch as well, which is important, and it shows."


    PR on extending unbeaten run: "Go out with the mentality to win every game we can, the mentality that the manager has instilled in us."


    PR on his year at Celtic: "First proper year playing men’s football. Manager before played me a lot & Brendan has been great, too."

    PR: "I am thoroughly enjoying it. The more you play football, the more you improve."

    PR: "@Scotty_Sinclair has been great since coming in. He has taken the club by storm. Yesterday he was on top form."

    PR: "He’s been a real help and he’s always staying back to do more and it makes you want to do better yourself


    PR: "The more we win, the more we're positive going into every game. We go into Wednesday against St Johnstone, firing & raring to go."

    Rovers No 2 had a sare time of it when Roberts came on.


    Roberts 1st run he just hawfed him and picked up a yella card for. After that he had no way of stopping him. Take a look at the Armstrong goal. Once Roberts gets past him, you can see him considering the foul and he eventually gives up the ghost.

    After about 5mins yesterday, my mate said we should have brought Roberts on. Someone who would be willing to take them on the outside.

    Think he's going to hit the form we seen from him last season.

    You get that feeling, and with a break he might just be 100% up to speed and with what Brendan wants..

    I'd play him Wednesday, but I think it's Sunday against the diets where he may run wild..
