Most people in Ireland have an English team. Many have a Scottish team too.


I agree you can only have one real team in your heart. For me that's Celtic, but for Robbie I can't comment. Lets see if he signs and kisses the badge...:)


Its not so much an association with the Irish Community - Celtic originally was set up purely to benefit the Irish community in Glasgow, who were, guess what, not particularly welcome in Scotland


Its official - Robbie has signed for Celtic


Matt - get your money on Celtic for the title.

It's sad what's happened to Keane. I always loved him as a Spurs fan, but he that was diminished in my eyes when he left us for Liverpool then came back again. I think that experience has destroyed his confidence and he's not been the same player since. Also he played the best football of his career alongside Berbatov. Berbatov benefited from playing with Keane and he has not been the same player since their partnership has split.

Harry Rednapp knows the score - could not have put it better myself:


"To go to Celtic is a dream come true for him anyway. I think it's a move that appeals to him. He's a big Celtic man and he'd like to go up to Celtic and play like Roy Keane did. The Irish lads, it's in their blood and they dream of playing for Celtic one day. This opportunity is one they want to take and we don't want to stand in his way, because we're strong in that position.''

Thats spot on Jimmy. Celtic could not afford a top Premiership player at his best, but I'm pleased that Robbie has decided to come before it really was too late.


He may not be good enough for a top 4 prem player but I think Robbie has a lot to offer and has been badly affected by the Liverpool fiasco, but the absolute adoration he will receive at Celtic will reinvigorate him.


I have always liked Robbie as an Irish player even before Spurs, he has been a great servant to Irish football and is a massive signing for Celtic. The biggest Premiership player to come to the club since Chris Sutton perhaps, with no disrespect to John Hartson or Neil Lennon (or as an afterthought Craig Bellamy)

I hope he does well at Celtic. He's an honest and talented player. Just a shame from a Spurs point of view. Harry has to take some responsibilty for Keane's poor form. I'm not sure why he bought him back from Liverpool? Any Spurs fan could have told him that Keane and Defoe could not play together. Harry also bought Chimbonda back and sold him on again pretty sharpish. That's a lot of money wasted by the Tottenham manager.

Have been trying my best to agree with you without putting down my own team. Step down for Robbie as he grows older but lots of bonuses for him, in playing for his team, his people, and who knows he might even stay and get champions league next year.


So all in all, as steps down go, its comes with a lot of consolations.

Tony did not think much of the team Gordon left him with......

HIT LIST: Tony Mowbray has dispensed with 11 players from when this picture was taken in August

Not to mention Saints!!


However, sadly, Spurs are extremely well run financially and have little chance of going bankrupt!

Wrong. You just dont understand what it means for an irish player to play for celtic.harry knew its what robbie always wanted and gave him his chance.

I love the fact that Celtic fans now seem to think one man is going to win the league. You've now got 6 strikers at the club, 4 of which are new this month and who more likely than not came to play football... you can't please them all.

Also, you've got almost a whole new team to get to know each other and gel... this isn't going to happen over night. Fifteen games to go, 10 points behind, ok probably 7 as you'll more than likely beat Killie in your game in hand...

Fact of the matter is Mowbray is taking a massive, massive gamble in his transfer dealings and has got rid of a couple of players in MacDonald and Robson that any SPL team needs. I am happier that they have gone, than worried about Keane coming in. If Mowbray had just play MacDonald I think the league would look a whole lot different.


If it doesn't work for you, and all these "blue chip" (no sniggering in the back) loanees leave again in the summer Celtic will have to do it all again... No Champions League money in the bank for th 2nd year running and you'll be in the sh*t.


It is in Rangers hands and is ours to throw away.


We Welcome The Chase.

LG - are you still hoping to win the title? I guess it depends on beating Chelsea to stay in it. I would not say that its impossible, but they need to learn some lessons from Sunday.


I'd expect a different match as Chelsea are at home so they might push forward and this time it might be Arsenal who can score on the break. Buts its win or bust.


Almunia and Clichy looked like major weaknesses on Sunday unfortunatley.

    • @Jenijenjen I assure you we are always polite and friendly too! Which is why the behaviour we have been receiving is so frustrating. The kids always leave her with a “Thank you have a lovely day”  Our concern is leaving the gate slightly wedged doesn’t stop the action of slamming it open and closed…still leading to damage  
    • If you're talking about who I think you are, I find them more exuberant than rude and usually smiling and polite. But then, I'm usually smiling and polite to them. Can you not wedge open your gate when you're expecting them?
    • It worked. Corbyn did similar although not to the same degree. Momentum had a purge too when Corbyn got in. All his political life he opposed the EU but when it came to the crunch he publicly backed them during the referendum. I believe that was to appease the middle classes that he was appealing to. He messed up big time when wooing the middle classes at Glastonbury whilst ignoring his core working class voters up north. They also happened to be leave voters. He got starstruck and forgot about his politics. Corbynmania was thing, a movement but it was also the making of his downfall. For the many and not the few came back and slapped him right in the face. 
    • Nothing to do with the tories overspending whatsoever eh! Blame the last 10/11 years of blatant mismanagement, incompetence and willful deceit on the poor bastards that were left with the fall out of a complete car crash tory government.   One PM after another falling on their sword. Open corruption and piss taking throughout covid and a legacy of huge debt and destruction yet in your view it will be labour's 4 years in power that bankrupts us in 2029.  Another one that must think people are blind and stupid.  Rejoice rejoice. It's a pity he and his fellow clowns were completely annihilated at the ballot box. I mean they were doing so well after all 🙃🙃
