    Playing in Israel and accepting the Knighthood makes me think less of him as a person.

    But in fairness, I don't think his commitment to Celtic can be questioned. I've seen him as some standard * SPL games over the years and he was one of the few 'famous' fans to be so openly associated with the club in the 90s when nobody else seemed to give a *.

    What about them?

    Neither appear to have reason to be disgruntled with the British Monarch.

    We don't do enough for charity.

    We don't give enough to the right charities.

    For instance, we gave 10k every year to the Royal British Legion, but donate nothing to the victims of wars in which the British state are complicit.

    I didn't know that. I'd rather they did neither and stuck to why we were founded which was for looking after the poor whoever they are.

    They’ve both got an MBE, is it because O’Neil is Irish?

    I personally think it's great having a worldwide public personality showing and taking his love for the club all over the world.

    Rogic has never delivered for us in a big european game. Compare his record with McGregor's. Only last season, he scored against Bayern and Zenit. It's not just about their goals either. Hate to say it, but Rogic is lethargic. At the same time, McGregor never stops running. That's what we should be doing in Europe.

    You guys saw Rogic against France in the World Cup? The game was too fast for him. Don't get me wrong, he is obviously brilliant with the ball at his feet. Problem is, we rarely play possession football in Europe. Whenever we don't have the ball, Rogic cannot impact the game.


    Can he press the ball though? I don't think he can. That's my point.

    You said you think less of O’Neil because he accepted an OBE, do you think less of McNeil or Larsson because they’ve have an MBE?

    It's not as much Rogic, but the points about Ntcham, Dembele and Edouard. You are way off there.

    Ntcham is one of few European class players we have. He's literally made for that level of football and you've replaced him with John McGinn....

    No, as above they as far as I'm aware have no reason to be disgruntled with the British Monarch.

    Why MoN who grew up as a Catholic in the 6 counties during the Civil Rights movement and denial of basic human rights by the British State and who hadn't long left Derry City when 14 unarmed civilians were shot dead on the streets of Derry by soldiers who were then given gallantry medals from the Queen would wish to accept an OBE is beyond me.

    Hope this is a comprehensive enough explanation of my opinion.

    Oh dear... cue up

    - With the exceptions of moussa, eduoard and sinclair, BR's signings have been largely pish and a waste of money, and all this "I trust Brendan to get the best out of him" patter is pure *

    - Sometimes the GB think they are bigger than the club

    - John Kennedy should've been sacked after Deila and collins left

    and lastly but not unexpectantly Ill "bang this drum" just to * off certain people :lingua: ;

    - Craig Gordon is jambo hun *, sevco begging bowl * who is rank rotten :86:

    Would prefer if it wasn't a poppy wearing Tory to be honest.

    That video that went viral last week of him performing Grace in Vegas with the proclamation of 1916 on the screens behind him gave me the boak

    Don’t like YNWA at all. We should have a unique original song like a national anthem/the Barca hymn.

    More a ‘what I can see happening’ but if we got a new modern badge like some clubs have done recently I wouldn’t be completely against it as long as it was good. Much prefer our old cross/badge.

    Our fans online/social media are an absolute cringe fest. We have all these Celtic bloggers but I’ve never seen them write about Celtic and the amount of Tims who lap it up is scary.

    Rogic is overrated. We need an upgrade if we want to achieve anything in Europe.

    Yes and very well, did you watch the Zenit game? Covered the whole left handside by himself.
