Patrick Roberts!

Always was a wee * anyway, * player






*Cries*

 

This action has emotionally floored and devastated me.

 

Just get him signed ffs

 

Ex players ffs!! That's it real now

I've always been holding onto that wee bit of hope. But I guess I have to just let it/him go.

 

I honestly can't remember being this sad since Larsson left, aye I knew it was coming on both counts, but hopefully Paddy comes back, if not I'm away for a walk along the M8.

 

He'll be back

 

I know we joke about Forrest having no neck, but that it really does look like someone photoshopped his head onto a suit there.

PATRICK Roberts may have taken his final bow for Celtic but he did so in considerable style, finishing what has been an incredible season as a winner of an ‘Invincible’ treble.

The Englishman joined the Hoops last year on an 18-month loan deal from Manchester City, and is now due to return to the English Premier League side for the beginning of the new season.

The 20-year-old has made 60 appearances since joining the Bhoys last February, netting 17 goals along the way, and the winger admits he couldn’t have asked for more from his time in Paradise.

Speaking to the official Celtic website, he said: “Perfect is the exact word I’d use. To be ‘Invincible’ is one thing, but then to go and win the treble is really something else. We’ve done it and it’s full credit to all the boys.

“It just feels unbelievable. We had our tasks to do this year and we’ve completed all of them. It’s been a great season and I’m thankful for it.”

Last weekend’s 2-1 victory over Aberdeen in the Scottish Cup final ensured the last piece of silverware required to secure the domestic clean sweep was bound for Celtic Park.

The game looked to be heading for extra-time with the two sides locked in a 1-1 draw before Tom Rogic stepped up in the 92nd minute and made his mark on history. After beating two defenders, the Australian slotted the ball under Dons goalkeeper, Joe Lewis, before Hampden erupted in a sea of green and white.

“I was ecstatic when the ball hit the net,” Roberts admitted. “I kept looking at the clock and could see that time was running out, but I knew we could do it. When Tom hit that ball and it went in the net, there was a massive sense of relief.

“It was a tough game against Aberdeen, though. They’re a good side and we knew that - that’s why they’re second in the league. But we stuck to our guns and in the end, thanks to our perseverance, we got there. To win the treble has been amazing, and there’s no better feeling than scoring in the last minute. It was a good game and a tremendous occasion.”

While the England Under-20 star was ecstatic when the final whistle sounded at Hampden, signifying that the momentous treble was in the bag, there was one person missing from the celebrations.

Kieran Tierney, who had started against Aberdeen at left-back, had his final endeavour of the season cut short by the arm of Jayden Stockley in the first-half of the game.

However, Roberts made sure the defender wasn’t forgotten as he held the No.63 jersey aloft in tribute to his friend and team-mate, who made it back from hospital just in time to lift the cup.

“I think he was hoping to get back for full-time,” Roberts said. “But when the final whistle went we were cheering and, obviously, he wasn’t there so I thought he’s Mr Celtic, and he’d want to be here.

“The fans love him and he’s the golden boy, so I thought I would get his shirt and show them he’s a big part of Celtic. I was hoping he’d make it back because I couldn’t take the trophy to hospital.

“I’m glad he was there in the end, though, and he’s alright. He’s a tough cookie. He tells me he’s a Lanarkshire boy and he’ll just get on with it. I’m sure his jaw will fix itself.”

The winger added: “I just want to say thank you to the supporters for everything that they’ve given to me. All the support that they’ve given me on and off the pitch has been tremendous.

“I’ll always be a Celt and I’ll always have this club in my heart. This year has been massive for me, as well as for the club, and I’ll always remember it.”

I will miss Pat a lot. he was a great player and was a person who wore the hoops with pride and was a great representative to the club. I hope where ever he may be next is just as successful and he stays healthy. I hope one day he can make a return to Celtic Park

 

As if he didn't know how much we loved him, as cringe/funny as any of this stuff may be (personally I love it), he won't be unaware of it and I think that can only be a good thing.

Would City fans or any other EEPEE EL club ever give him this much attention? I doubt it.

We love you Pat!! X

 

This he's not part of city's plans they will accept anything g half they paid for him if he wants to come here then it will be done
