    Nor do I search for them, but it’s the kind of stuff you see cropping up under articles or news stories about him.

    It was more a case of asking if Sutton would be consistent with criticism of footballers making TikTok videos now that Kyogo is in on the act rather than suggesting he shouldn’t be noising him up. 

    Has Kyogo a high opinion of himself and better known for his TikTok than his football? 

    That after all is the criticism Sutton made about Cantwell it wasn’t just about him being on TikTok

    Again you do seem a bit unusually rattled by what is fair criticism

    Aye, but it’s not confined to TikTok. We’ve seen it all over Twitter and now a song being sung about him being a b*tty boy by fans. A quick search of Cantwell’s name with things like “p**f”, “gay”, “rent boy” etc will throw up a plethora of results.

    And that’s the thing, if Sutton genuinely believes that Cantwell making TikToks has any bearing on his footballing form/ability then he is less intelligent than I give him credit for. It was just a cheap dig at him as he knew fans would latch onto it.

    Genuinely not seen or heard any such song on Twitter or anywhere else however i‘m not really in the habit for searching for Todd Cantwell nevermind with those additional descriptors. This isn’t me doubting the existence of such songs so i’ll bow to your better knowledge. 

    I‘m also a bit surprised you are so rattled by Sutton noising him up, you need to remember Cantwell also went after Sutton too and if he is going to do that then he is going to have to back himself up and his performances just haven’t don’t that, he’s played right into Suttons hands.

    Not exactly, no. Sutton called Cantwell out for doing silly dances. Rather personal but I suppose he is entitled to air his opinion about it. So I was wondering what he'd now have to say about Kyogo doing it (spoiler: he won't say a thing).

    The homophobic abuse, however, is more to do with the element of fans you see online (and not online, I suppose, as evidenced by Celtic fans recorded signing a song calling Cantwell a Rangers b*tty boy) that target Cantwell as a result of the dancing. Those I was referring to as the TikTok Todd Brigade, a separate issue from Sutton.

    Cantwell gets homophobic abuse which has nothing to do with his football ability, which is why I was questioning if those same people would have the same view about Kyogo, regardless of how good a player he may be. Or they may share your opinion in that he will escape criticism just because he is a good player.

    Any homophobic abuse is unacceptable that goes without saying as is any abuse based around any protected characteristic so unsure why it’s a point you would raise here as no one will contest that. However if we are talking about TikTok it’s a platform where the demographic is mostly teenagers so the level of maturity and offensiveness in comments reflects that

    The point about Sutton in my opinion is in relation to his football as the sentiment appears to be that if he was as focused and put as much energy into his football as he does TikTok he may actually be able to back up the bravado but quite regularly doesn’t which is why Sutton noises him up. If Kyogo starts to fail in the big moments I think Sutton would give it to him tight, he has been critical of Celtic players in the past. 

    And tbf I see some Rangers fans also frustrated by what Cantwell posts on social media giving it the big yin and then not doing it on the pitch.

    Deflect, deflect, deflect 🤣

    The borderline homophobic abuse Cantwell gets as a result for doing "silly dances" on TikTok has nothing to do with his footballing ability. So, yeah, not really relevant.

    So let me get this right? You are upset with Sutton for calling Cantwell out for doing silly dances and that somehow is borderline homophobia? Why? Do only gay men on TikTok dance?

    Reports that Atletico Madrid have made a bid for O’Riley. If true he’ll surely want to go.

    Yes that’s the rumour however he’s been our best player this season so really shouldn’t be selling in this window especially since it’s an initial loan with future obligation to buy.

    An end to celtics pettiness?

     

    Celtic and Rangers have entered talks to end their ongoing feud regarding the attendance of away fans at derby fixtures, according to a report.

    The Times states that Glasgow's big club and Celtic have opened negotiations to allow each other's supporters into their respective stadiums for the final two Premiership games between the sides this season.

    It's said that discussions are underway about Celtic being allocated 750 tickets for their next trip to Ibrox, which will take place on Saturday, April 6.

    Likewise, when Rangers make the short journey across the city to Parkhead in the post-split fixtures, they too will have the same amount of tickets if talks progress positively

     

     

    Not quite sure why you would have an interest Benny, I’ve probably been to Ibrox to watch a match more times than you in the past decade and that’s with us continuing to tell you to shove your tickets up your hoop

    Player shows promise in first few matches and fan is hopeful he will do well.

    Player turns out to be honking. It's a tale as old as time.

    I'm sure you've NEVER done something similar so bore off with your condescending "you can't spot a player" pish.

    😂

    To quote you again.

    It’s almost as if people can change their opinions based on what unfolds in front of them.

    Goals and impressive showings against Hoffenheim and Newcastle pre-season had me hopeful. But it hasn’t worked out.

    The fact you’ve trawled through my posts to a period before the season had started says a lot 😂

    It’s says a lot about your ability to spot a player is what it says.

    For some reason these stuck in my head, almost as if it was inevitable he would be woeful

    Still laughing at the creating dangerous positions for himself out of nothing part, just brilliant 😂

    Rocco Vata has been given permission to speak to Bologna. Shame he didn't make the break through with us properly, but the story is he told the club he saw his future elsewhere so has been frozen out.

    Just wish we'd hurry up and sign someone now, preferably a left back.

    This is the thing that pisses me off about Celtic is that we consistently lose these kids with good potential as they don’t see a pathway to the first team. We have seen Dembele, Doak and now Vata in recent seasons whilst MJ continues to be a first team player, it’s infuriating.

    I think Lammers has the potential to be a big player for us this season. His close control is excellent and he manages to create dangerous positions for himself out of almost nothing. Very impressed thus far.

    I think I love big Lammers already 😍

    To say his transfer here didn’t work out is an understatement. Woeful.

    That is what I’m saying. He got it wrong but it doesn’t matter anyway as it was offside. It’s an entirely trivial matter. A total non-incident. 

    In the scores of decisions made in Scottish football this season, this one probably shouldn’t even register. And yet a week later here we are. Poisonous, poisonous stuff from your club again. 

    Absolutely 100% spot on.

    Of all the controversial decisions I can remember since Rangers came back up this has to be one of the least. It’s not at the point Rangers and their fans are upset that an on field review didn’t take place that would have ruled the pen out anyway.

    I have a mate who I went to school with who is a SFA linesman who runs the line at Premier League matches. I was speaking to him on Thursday in the gym and of course this came up and he mentioned that even if VAR doesn’t call for an on field review they will generally do an APP check anyway after play has resumed, it’s part of the process and they will use the footage for training etc. 

    So the notion that the APP check was done to cover tracks or because they then doubted the original decision is wrong.

    Penfold wades in.

     

    SNP MSP James Dornan has blasted a "culture of secrecy" at the Scottish FA as he tabled a parliament motion over the VAR fallout after the match between Celtic and Rangers.

    The member of parliament called for greater transparency from Hampden chiefs in a motion lodged on Friday.

    The MSP for Glasgow Cathcart since 2011 also backed calls from Rangers for the Scottish FA to release audio of the conversations between officials during a flashpoint in the match over an alleged handball against Alistair Johnston.

    This the same James Dornan you all wanted sacked over his comments about the videos of Rangers players celebrating winning the title? That James Dornan?

    To be fair RE teachers seemed to be the more laid back hippier types in school, not really the god fearing types iirc. I went to a proddy school though so not sure if 'them' were any different. I also feel many fans in Scottish football have an unhealthy hang up on Collums main job as if it's some sort of smoking gun. 

    He’s not been a RE teacher for many years. He’s some sort of continuous improvement officer for the council or something along those lines. My wife mentioned he’s in and out of the school she works at quite often. 

    My old RE teacher was Brian Dempseys brother, needless to say he got a bit pestered by many non RE questions in the mid 90’s 😂

    If you grew up at a time when Celtic 'won nothing' you must be in your mid 80's at least so I will bow to the wisdom of your years but as someone who grew up in the 1960s/70s I have never known a time when Celtic 'won nothing'. I've known times when Aberdeen, Hearts, Hibs, Dundee United, Dundee, etc etc 'won nothing' but never Celtic so we can park that little tale of woe. You can support who you want without anyone's permission if that's what makes you feel good.

    The greatest underdogs story ever, I'm welling up here.

     

    Tbf the tears probably haven’t stopped for you since Saturday.

    Anyway are we now going to get back to why you’re making shite up about not being able to reply to me just so you could avoid answering the most simple of questions? Really keen to understand your views on the decision making process that you need clarity on?

    So what is it about Celtic that you like ? The obscene financial advantage that ensures they are almost always guaranteed to win domestically. ? Must be a nice , secure feeling knowing that 'your' club will always win. 

    So should we be embarrassed the club turned itself around and became much healthier financially? What an absolutely ridiculous notion.

    And most of us are of an age where we remember when we didn’t always win and were on our arse financially with zero guarantee that it would ever turn around….but it did and spectacularly well and beyond what any of us then probably hoped for considering the direction we were going under the Kelly’s in the 90’s

    Funny you say that, although you're a god awful poster with absolutely horrendously low tier posts and patter and everything about your existence on this platform is completely forgettable I did actually wonder today how folk would react if he just shaved the lot off. 

    Can you not just change your DP to that one Charlie Nicholson picture at this point?

    Ok I’ll skip the ridiculous irony of your first sentence and just ask Charlie who?
