What a brilliant night for our club. Massive thanks to our players and management over the last number of years for their hard work and dedication. Game played in the right spirit and Ford came to moygannon to win the game no doubt, fair play to them and they're a fantastic club...well done also to Castlewellan on their late victory. Hard luck to longstone, very hard to take but they'll be back...

Hope our lads and any club who had a positive end to the season enjoy their night and anyone who is struggling as well takes solace in the fact there is no relegation and can regroup for next year.

Open bus parade put on hold due to Covid, thanks for earlier poster for asking. A pint of black for us all in the point just to quietly celebrate a small club competing at the highest level after being so obscure for decades...thanks to those that have sent good wishes. Oiche Mhaith

Nice post but I don't think you can call the point a small club! Congratulations though!

Honestly boys need to shut up about Castlewellan, Newry, Downpatrick etc..  We've a strong squad who cares were players are from.. 7 starters were from East Down clubs and arguably the 3 best players on the night were from East Down.

Castlewellan haven't won a championship since the 90s same as RGU and a Newry club hasn't won a SFC since the 60s. It's 2021 stop living in the past.

And Down haven't won anything since 1994.......

.......McKenna Cup?

Honestly, when an u20 cup is stuck in the middle of peak club season, then any manager who expects full reign over his players has lost the plot.

u20s have yet to play a game for their clubs this season. The leagues will be exciting as well but I expect a few fireworks in the forthcoming weeks ahead. If u20 players are starred then it would be unfair to play the 2up2down after one round of fixtures. Though Conor is a club player so he should understand that clubs will need their full set of players as it will be close to the championship as well.

Alot of talk about nothing let the U20's go win the match first if they are good enough.

Never been further away....wouldn't matter who the personnel were...just not good enough and no light at the end of the tunnel.

Was at the Roy Keane testimonial in Old Trafford. What an occasion. Celtic supporters turned it into a great occasion the way Man Utd supporters couldn't dream of.

Great shout Bannside was there myself... a truly  wonderful occasion, made extra special by the behaviour of the estimated 20,000 Celtic fans. An event I will always cherish attending.  Not a police baton in sight that day on the street of Manchester compared to when rangers covered themselves in glory shortly afterwards in the same city!!! NOT

Why compare Celtic fans to others in this instance? Stand for your own morals and let others worry about themselves no?

Has anyone read Paul Higgins's tweet to him. It's absolutely hilarious lol.

Who is Paul Higgins ?

Now now Jim that man has a couple of All Ireland medals in his back pocket!

Poor.

If Kennedy gets the job I really do despair about next season. He is hopeless. Some of the subs were absolutely baffling.

How Bain is the no 1 is beyond me. Barkas has been poor but he's a million miles less of a liability than that clown.

Barkas is as big a clown as Bain wise up kid.

He is in his f**k.

I don't think I've seen Barkas drive a clearance at his defender under little pressure 6 yards away.

We picked Bain up when he was warming the Dundee bench. Unbelievable that he's the no 1 at the club.

If you rate any of those goalkeepers including Barkas you are lost my friend.

Just out of interest Angie, what makes a club a big club?

History
Tradition
Fanbase
Honours

All of which are covered by Everton. So why are they a tinpot club?

He's talking crap and contradicting himself. Celtic are a much bigger club than Everton but nowhere near as appealing to play for now. Celtic will never get top footballers in their prime looking to play for them while they're in that shite league.

Why do top class players play in the Chinese League? The same reason they play for a club like Everton. Money.

The league is not an issue for Celtic in competing with Everton for players, the money is though.

Deluding yourself pal if you think SPL holds much of attraction to any proper top rank player money or no money.

What's more attractive, even the EFL championship, or the SFL?

The blinkered vision of Celtic fans is boggling. Has been club, in Europe anyway. Miles behind Rangers. Clown of a manager... But at least Scott Brown is a tough guy....

The SPL.

The blinkered version of Sky Sports addicted little Englanders like yourself is boggling. You probably think Burnley are a bigger club than Celtic.

There are about 5/6 English clubs as big as Celtic and Rangers in terms of stature and history.

The rest have to substitute for that with money.

I'd be more worried about how well the team was performing than arguing my club is bigger than your club. Look forward not back and concentrate on now.

Hammer the hammer. You have to be getting all three points. A draw is only pussy-footing about your intention to win the League. Get the three points, put the pressure on Gerrard. He was in a similar position last year and waned to the pressure.

I want a win but I'd take a draw now if offered.

I still think we can get them back if we draw, I think it's over if we lose.

Draw is as good as defeat does nothing to to bring the gap down and put a little pressure on...anything less than a win and its over for Celtic.

I'd take a draw at present. We're improving but still need to make much more progress. A win would be great and gives us a real shot in the arm.

I do think the huns are vulnerable though and we know the gap was 19 points at one point, if that then narrows to single digit figures, the pressure is gradually growing and growing on them. In many ways the weight of expectation has now moved on Sevco and it's now them that have to handle it and we know their track record under Gerrard in the second half of the season. The St Mirren loss really added some doubts there.

If we can win on Saturday, then the pressure is absolutely huge on them. Should Celtic lose, it's looking like the final nail in the coffin. A draw keeps us there but is an opportunity missed.

Take a draw? Wise up fella draw no good at this stage if we want to assert any pressure on Rangers.

Rangers are flying.

Now Jim don't have me to pay u another visit😉. Tbf Sevco have been much better than Celtic and deserve to be top but if u genuinely believe that they'll go all season like this then you're delusional saan. Their bad spell will come especially when the fixtures pile up for them, maybe a few injuries and a few Covid isolations and then we'll see what they have in the locker. If after all that and come May they're still top then they'll deserve it

Wont matter a jot when there bad patch comes...Celtic will continue to throw points away for the rest of the season and wont get near them.

Lennon with his poppy on display today.

Oh f**k me

I have an issue with a man from the nationalist community contributing to the Lee Clegg beer fund. Obviously you don't.

I honestly couldn't give a f**k who does or doesn't wear a poppy to be quite honest with you.he's not the first Celtic manager to wear one, he's not the first Celtic manager from the "nationalist" community to wear one. He's not the first Celtic manager from the north to wear one!

I don't think Celtic managers should be wearing a poppy. It's insulting to a huge proportion of the fanbase who have made this clear in the past.

Its really not that insulating to any decent fan to be honest - live and let live - personal decision - no skin of my nose - move on.

Noticed Dylan Ward wasnt named on the bench, he injured? Hopefully still involved in the panel, he definitely has something to offer, especially given how badly we struggle in the middle.

Maybe he missed his lift? Prob spending his time ringing Paul faloon

Are they big mates?
