I've heard whispers that last season was Craigan's last. Any truth to that?

According to chat on P&B Sutton is on his way to Hearts. I'm not sure about the £6,000 per week wage that's being mentioned over there right enough. I'm guessing that if he was staying at Fir Park he'd have signed by now though.

The post-cup final email has been sent out;

Link?

There were a few of these characters shouting shite like f****n b******s and so on sitting directly behind me. They saw fit to let rip with racist abuse at Ki as well. I'd also like to point out that there were stewards & police within earshot yet nothing was done. I'm not sure what the majority of fans are supposed to do (and the majority were well behaved in my opinion) when they see the authorities doing fuck all. The police & stewards did however spring into action when some 'Well fan had the sheer audacity to stop halfway down the stairs to his seat and wave his Motherwell flag whilst urging others around him to cheer the team on. Thank God they sorted him out, threatening to turf him out if he didn't sit in his allocated seat. He's exactly the type that our club can do without.

A decent game against a good foreign outfit at Fir Park would suit me just fine.

Good call. Thread title altered accordingly.

I think that's a fair statement to make. It just so happens that, as in most cases, the more vocal among their support is the paranoid plastic Paddy types. The regular fans just get on with supporting their team.

Personally I wouldn't let someone like Brown deter me from supporting my national side. He's a twat. There have been plenty who played for Scotland before him, and there'll be more after him. Still a club before country kind of guy though

That would be a surefire desktop photo if it didn't have the big logo at the bottom.

Following the end of one of our more memorable seasons I thought a thread for folk to post their photos in might be a good idea. Be it pub-related shenanigans abroad during our European adventures, or Scottish cup final related pictures, we can all post our memories (both good & cringeworthy!) in this thread.

That article fails to mention that a fair chunk of non-Old Firm supporters, such as myself, really couldn't care less which of them wins the title. The only difference it makes is the colour of shirt the twats who will be lurching around Wishaw main street that evening are wearing. I've had Celtic-supporting mates (and family!!) telling me that I must be a bigot simply because I get big laughs out of watching both of them make roaring c*nts of themselves in Europe every season. I also want to see United get scudded by Barca on Saturday, so that must make me anti-English as well?

Regardless of the money made I don't see any reason for us to break with the system we have at present when it comes to bringing in new players. If it's not broke, don't fix it. Perhaps one bonus aspect we'll have this close season is if a player becomes available that McCall really likes the look of we can afford to push the boat out slightly in order to get him in. Before anything else is done I'd rather we started by offering the players we currently have out of contract better deals where possible. I certainly wouldn't complain if the likes of Sutton & Jennings were offered improved contracts.

I'd be bitterly disappointed if we only got £400,000 for Randolph, especially from one of the bigot brothers.

Who cares about the Celtic display?

Now that the cup final is done & dusted it'll be interesting to see what the number of season tickets sold for next season will be. I'm sure we'll see a decent increase, it's really just a question of by how much?

If we kick off next season with at least two of Sutton, Jennings & Randolph I'll be very happy indeed. I'd also like to see Jeffers kept on as well.

Give it time, I'm sure they'll have one or two up in due course.

I'm not sure, but it looked impressive as well. Both displays were superb, and I thought both sets of fans were a credit to their teams today.

I may be wrong, but I think our lads had their idea for a display long before we knew the Green Brigade were doing anything. It stands alone in my book, independent of anything the Celtic fans did. Also, credit where it's due. I saw this on a Celtic forum when they were discussing their own display;

100% bang on the money. We just didn't play well enough today. A good season though, which shouldn't be forgotten about just because we lost today.

I hope i'm not tempting fate here, but apparently with Porto winning the Europa league this season the winners of the Scottish cup will only have to play one qualifying round. Anyone heard anything similar?

It's a non-story, but if it serves to wind up the more paranoid among the Celtic fans then so be it

That's a fair point to make, especially considering the fact that the prices these guys charge aren't all that much cheaper than the official shop does. You can bet that the quality will be much lower though, plus there's no comeback if you end up with something faulty.

Speaking of Jeffers, has there been any update on what he's doing after this season? I'd like to see him stay on until at least January.
