Celtic blame everyone else

Every time they play Hearts definitely. Can’t understand any Hibs fan that would want a Hearts win.

I also don’t get why so many on here are regularly quick to try and defend Celtic.

Only in the rare times it helps Hibs out. I never WANT a Hearts win but I wouldn't cheer a Rangers goal against them either.

Hearts are our rivals. Rangers are the ****miest professional sports team on the planet.

In my opinion.


Oh... and I despise Celtic too.

I’m not sure - Rangers as a fan base and a club are the total **** of the earth. Shame Scotland wherever they go, and I feel the animosity they show to us as fans is much more extreme than a lot of Hearts fans show. To Huns, we are ‘Fenian *******s’, ‘Taig-light,’ Hivs, junkies etc. The most I hear from a lot of Jambos is ‘The Hobos’, and not as much sectarian pish (albeit we’re hearing a bit more of it as of late from them.) We have to live with them as well.

You’ll see absolutely no defence of Celtic from my earlier post. Several paragraphs lambasting Celtic. I don’t feel there is a credible defence of their attempts to treat this league as their little fiefdom - the establishment club of Scotland, so I can agree with your second point wholeheartedly.

Or very smart and playing to the crowd

Aw poor Septic, they've never learnt to live with the genuinely neutral referees that the European-games bring - no 'SFA-AID' in Europe !

I think he is correct. Lots of embarrassing results in the early rounds of Europe in the last decade or so. We need to be winning more qualifiers

I made the point on the transfer thread that Celtc could have helped our cause in Europe by making a strong offer for SJM nice and early, so we could get on with strengthening our squad.

[Jim44]

I am willing to bet that, given the choice of winning the league every season because they are consistently too strong for every other team or having to compete with stronger teams at the risk of not winning the league but our coefficient improving, they would choose the former every time. You can’t have your cake and eat it, ya muppets.

Yes they could have. But everyone wants to get players for as little as they can, whether that’s Celtic for Mcginn or us for Mallan / Mclaren or whoever else we are after.

[MWHIBBIES]

It is in their hands really. If they win every game in the champions league they don't have to qualify because they get in automatically as winners. Should worry about his clubs own pishy performance in Europe before others.

Celtc are not trying to sign a player from the other side of Europe through a third party. Hibs and Celtc talk time each other all the time on a range of issues.

Submitting an opening bid of £1.5m was just taking the p***.

Was there a lack of competition when we beat them last season. Celtc, always cheated, never defeated 🙄

1 Win, 2 Draws, 1 Defeat.

In both of those draws, we were a baw hair away from actually winning (only a last minute clearance off the line saved them in the second one)

Seems a reasonable level of competition from Hibs.

[NAE NOOKIE]

He has a minor point in that Scottish clubs have lost to teams we should have been capable of beating in the early rounds …. Somebody mentioned our Malmo result in this context which is nonsense, yes the score was embarrassing, losing the tie to what was clearly a decent team wasn't.

But when it comes to the main point he is talking out of his arse …. Celtic work hard to ensure they get the lions share of the TV and prize money available in Scotland every year, they ensure that they have a squad of players which is virtually unbeatable over a league campaign, in fact the truth is if you take into account the likes of Ryan Christie, Scott Allan etc who are not even worthy of a place on the bench and are sent out on loan they could field two teams capable of winning the league.

Chuck in the fact that as has been stated many times they weaken the other clubs by snapping up their best talent at every turn with little or no intention of playing them, then what right do they have to complain about a lack of domestic competition or the failure of other Scottish clubs in Europe …. Celtic are not part of the solution, they are part of the problem. Its beyond ironic that, not for the first time, someone connected with Celtic has castigated the rest of Scottish football for 'failing to help them' when they have just made one of the leagues clubs ( IE Hibs ) an offer for Scotland's most promising player ( short of the ones already on their own books ) which was nothing short of insulting.

Celtic can GTF

Fair enough Scott, presumably you'd have understood if we'd refused to sell you to Celtic and made you honour your contract on the salary you'd signed up for?

It's not Celtics fault, they are not a charity as others have pointed out and need to do the best for themselves. The issue I have is when they then come out with stuff like this moaning about something that is directly of their own making.

[NORTHERNHIBBY]

I wonder why the editor cut out the bit where Brown pointed out that in the mid eighties when Scottish clubs were doing well in Europe, the Old Firm were at their weakest....

Celtc, a cake-and-eat-it Club.

[KeithTheHibby]

Maybe Celtic should spend a lot more cash than they do.
They make a serious profit each year yet spend silly little amounts on players and expect to compete?
Easier to blame the other clubs and Scottish football rather than looking at themselves.

Disappointing thing for me is Neil's silence. like all on here are big supporters of Lennon but he would be raging had this been Rangers in negotiations or anyone else other than Celtic . He is very silent and while he does not want to scupper the deal with a rant he should really be more consistent considering Celtic's derisory offers.

He's got more important things to be getting on with than commenting on what one of our ex-players is saying to the media.

Fannies. **** off, Celtc, ya whining welts.

My point was generally on Celtic's McGinn approach rather than what Brown said. If you read it correctly

CWG's point, about him having better and more productive things to do, still stands though.

What would be gained from Lennon ranting about Celtic's bid?

Missing the point chaps no rant necessary just Neil quiet when Celtic involved.

Has he commented on the Simon Murray situation? Course not. Why would he.

To compete in Europe we need Summer football. We can't compete with the teams on our calendar due to lack of money in our game. We can't compete with the smaller nations because their teams are mid-season. The league isn't helping itself.

It’s a viscous circle. We want to improve our (all Scottish teams) record as it benefits us all, but preparation has been poor in previous years

Its a sticky subject - a bit like wading through treacle

He has said Brown should not be talking about John McGinn. Also Lennon has not talked about players at other clubs. Think you are looking for something that isn’t there.

Are we getting the credit when they make the Group stages?

Absolute rubbish. Very few Leagues play through the summer. Sweden, Norway, Iceland, Ireland, Finland. That’s about it. Denmark do not play the summer season. Even Russia have abandoned playing through the summer. Aside from Malmö, I am struggling to think of an elimination for Hibs by a team playing a Summer season. AEK Athens, Dnipro, Brondby, Maribor spring to mind.

Hibs and other Scottish teams can’t compete with teams in Europe because we aren’t good enough.

The biggest problem isn't Celtic offering substandard fees, it's the other clubs accepting them.

Totally agree. Why is it they offer crap fee but demand excessive fees for any player sought by other clubs from them. Unless the fee is realistic and agreeable to Hib's tell them to **** off

Part of the problem is Celtc offers being discussed in the media and unsettling players - that's what often happens between a sub-standard offer and the selling club accepting
