Rodgers will not be there for 10 in a row.Thats why he has a one year rolling contract.He's there to qualify for Champions League Group stages.His real aspiration is a return to the English Premiership.

TF, from your postings I am well aware of your credentials as a Celtic fan, however, I just don't get your negativity.
For a start every Celtic manager, as you will be well aware, in recent past going back to MON has had that same type of rolling contract. Suits us as much as it does Rodgers, if not more so especially if he is going to be the flop you think he is. Are you being deliberately contrary?
Not sure why you think he will be so quick to want back to the EPL. Do you have inside info? Otherwise that doesn't make sense as he will be fully aware that a number of posts will be opening up in the nearish future for varied reasons.
He is here now, can't you give him a chance before the hatchet job?

Is he ever anything else?

Tony. Here's a few wee rules from the bible you should make sure to adhere to. You should definitely pay particular attention to the last one.

1 Corinthians 14:34:

"Let your women keep silence in the churches: for it is not permitted unto them to speak; but they are commanded to be under obedience as also saith the law."

Leviticus 11:7–8:

"And the pig, because it parts the hoof and is cloven-footed but does not chew the cud, is unclean to you. You shall not eat any of their flesh, and you shall not touch their carcasses; they are unclean to you."

Leviticus 19:19:

"You are to keep My statutes. You shall not breed together two kinds of your cattle; you shall not sow your field with two kinds of seed, nor wear a garment upon you of two kinds of material mixed together."

Leviticus 10–11 reads:

"And all that have not fins and scales in the seas, and in the rivers, of all that move in the waters, and of any living thing which is in the waters, they shall be even an abomination unto you; ye shall not eat of their flesh, but ye shall have their carcasses in abomination."

Exodus 31:14–15:

"Ye shall keep the sabbath therefore; for it is holy unto you: every one that defileth it shall surely be put to death: for whosoever doeth any work therein, that soul shall be cut off from among his people. Six days may work be done; but in the seventh is the sabbath of rest, holy to the LORD: whosoever doeth any work in the sabbath day, he shall surely be put to death."

Leviticus 19:27:

"You shall not round off the side-growth of your heads, neither shalt thou mar the corners of thy beard."

1 Corinthians 6:18 reads:

"Every other sin a person commits is outside the body, but the sexually immoral person sins against his own body."

Conveniently ignored.

Tony? Tony?

Rubbish,it's the doctrine that matters not the human people.No one defends the likes of Brendan Smyth.

It's still optional to accept or reject belief in God,and if the Catholic Church were tinkering with doctrine to increase popularity then your argument would have an element of truth.

Does it sayanywhere in the Bible priests should be celibate?

I'm not sure when or where Colin Broderick went to school but his description of the hisI tory curriculum is not one I recognise.


I was taught nothing about the 1916 rising  in history when i was at secondary school.

We covered Daniel OConnell through to 1969 in great detail.

thought I'd posted this..... Anyway the talk about Rangers not being Rangers.... is it down to the fact that Celtic fans can now say that the new Rangers will never match Celtic record and Celtic will eventually beat Rangers record, so becoming the most successful domestic team in Scotland? Is that it? Rangers still play in Ibrox, same fans and same tops?



They were liquidated, that is not in question. They changed their name to the rangers and started up again as a new club.

Yep, that's the answer I was expecting
Same stadium same sectarian fan base.  Same club. You guys are kidding yourselves in a pointless argument.

So they'll have a lot of debt to pay back then?
Fact is celtic would be small time without Rangers you guys need them as much as they need you. Debt or not new club or not. Not so long ago celtic were nearly bust.
I'm not a Celtic fan. I did find the whole Rangers meltdown interesting though. Rangers are a new startup with all the assets (and fans) of the old club. Rules were broken even to get them into Scottish League 2.

so no one has answered my point, is it because Rangers have a better domestic history than Celtic in terms of leagues and the like, do they feel this Rangers (the new ones) are a completely different club with no history? Marathon changed its name to Snickers ... still a Marathon to me

It's basically because when it comes to trophies and honours Rangers claim to be the same club but when it comes to the debt of Old Rangers they claim it's nothing to do with them.

Celtic are shite. Worse thing that happened to them was Rangers getting relegated. Maybe the return of the Old Firm will make Scottish football less of a terminal bore.

Rangers weren't relegated.

Look,remove the anti Catholic blinkers and consider dispassionately this scenario,in the cold light of day.You are a parent of a young primary school child,and your child is summoned (extraordinary scenario you would surely concur) to a meeting,without any explanation whatsoever,by clerics,police,lay school teachers,or indeed any other adult grouping you care to name.

Would you as a parent not firstly wonder, and secondly make it your business to find out what it's all about? Would you not at least insist  on accompanying your young child  to the meeting? Would you not at the very least,either before or after the meeting,ask your child repeatedly,what it was all about,until he or she told you?

I simply cannot fathom how any parent,in any era,could accept an invitation for their child to attend a meeting of an adult grouping,without explanation,actually drive  them to same meeting,wait outside the door of that meeting,drive their child home from that meeting,without at some point,demanding to know what the hell is going on.

Remind me,  who was terrorising the child in the meeting again? The parents or the priests?

Faith my friend faith,and his direct lineage to St Peter

In what way does direct lineage from St. Peter bestow infallibility? I'm trying to understand how the church arrived at this conclusion.

The Pope is infallible and entitled to amend any systems or doctrine he considers fraudulent.

Where does this infallibility come from?
