Will some one in the sfa or UEFA comment on the racist banner do you think Paul67?
-
Can this season get any worse!!!!???
To all of you who laughed at Sean South and myself and others for suggesting that Smith might have built a decent team in the summer- look at the disaster unfolding before out eyes!!!
I know there is nothing we can do about their UEFA run, but the underestimating of them by everyone at Celtic Park- from PL, to WGS to even Paul67 (not so many snidey articles about Carlo Cuellar now, eh Paul?) has been, in my view, criminal, and has contributed to our lacadaisical, effortless, listless, spineless season.
I am furious at the moment. Furious that they are in a European semi with every chance of a final appearance and of winning it.
Furious that from a position of strength we have let them run over the hill and miles miles away from us.
Furious that a bit more humility and sensible thinkng from those in power could have had us ahead of them- or much closer to them- in the SPL.
Now, thanks to our spinelessness, they can concentrate of Europe.
Tonight is a disaster for us.
Gutted.

Getafe must be wishing for that ridiculous golden goal rule or was it silver goal I can't remember. Wish I hadn't started this
-
And a few injuries... God willing.
Just how jammy are they? even smith was looking concerned.
-
Ferguson and Thomson out of Fiorentina game. Fiorentina 4th in a strong Serie A. Vieri and Mutu up front. Now that would be a shock and if they overcome all that then they will face Zenit or Gefate. Gefate loko favourites and have a talented young manager...
The Motherwell result really does stick in the throat now.
Sources say that season extension has been pre-agreed and will be anounced soon.
-
bazzabhoy - maybe that fud from the Sun who forwarded UEFA the tapes of some of our Bhoys is already,as we speak,mailing some footage of it to them - heh??- nah maybe not!!
-
What makes it worse is that the way they approached this tie was exactly the way everyone knew they would, apart from it seems Sporting Lisbon. Don't concede at home, hit on the break away.
It's anti-football alright. But it works.
-
-
sixoclock - aye, that'll be the day mate.
God, I hate them.
-
nae bread... I'm afraid I am not sure you can say our players are better than theirs.
Not on the evidence of this season they aren't.
And if they are- well, what a damning indictment of our manager.
-
I expect that all of us will be feeling more than happy that dear old Walter is finally on the verge of getting that unable to succeed in Europe monkey of his back. Just think he may very well exceed the feats of the Blessed Martin. I'm off to contemplate what may well be my chosen form of hari kari.
-
Paul67
I despondently agree; the fixture congestion will not help us at all. We have better players; they have shown they have the more tactically astute manager. Am I allowed to do the teenage 'FACT!' ?
I am sure Smith makes football simple for his players, I suspect Gordon makes it too complex prepping them like they are playing chess Vs Bobby Fisher when its not chess, its bl**dy football. The man maybe thinks too much.
-
What's the odds on a wee helping hand for the fixture position - for the good of Scottish football, don't you know. And of course they have never asked for it...
An announcement will be coming sometime soon I'm sure.
-
Time to dust off the old Fiorentina scarf.
Forza Viola!
-
Hail Hail
-
There would be no solace to be had anyway in fixture congestion.
Expect the announcement of the season extension very soon.
-
Lets get this clear - wining breads confidence and confidence gets results.
This has made Rangers even stronger favourites for the title. There is no disputing this - average players are performing above average due to one thing - confidence!
Now I will say this - it is dangerous to build so much on so little. f that confidence were to be dented - say by a Celtic win on Wed then cracks WOULD start to appear. Sadest thing of all is that our cracks appeared a while ago and are now mineshafts.
Unfortunately - there are some things brewing under the surface at Celtic that will not allow us to capitalise.
-
GordonJ,
The club must stand firm and oppose an extension to the season. Who cares the opprobrium that will come our way?
Rangers winning the UEFA would be a calamity for us. An utter calamity. No-one employed by Celtic can make this any easier for them. No-one.
If Lawwell has agreed to an extension, then I will consider that a resigning matter.

I just don't know how they can possible extend the season. I know Scotland aren't going to the Euro's but surely UEFA will be forced by member nations who are going to do something.

Before we qualified for the CL last 16 that littLe devil inside said " get a UEFA Cup run", forget the CL.
If only.
Tonight has again shown what you can do with limited ability and little flair.
Organisation, aggression amd playing to your strengths. At least Rangers don't overcomplicate the game!
Some people at Celtic should take note.
Let's make their next visit to CP as tough as we dare for Scotland's co-efficient battlers.
I just hope Fiorentina don't drop some players as they are looking to CL qualification.
-
Thank god for Celticquicknews. A safe haven from the bigoted scottish press. We had the V theory, the huns must now have they're green theory, except fiorentina play in purple so GIRUT.
This means we can go top of the league i believe, assuming we win the next 3 games. When alls said and down, maybe strachan should stay.
3 in a row!!!!!

Italiabhoy - Do we,or indeed any other SPL club have a say in that matter?? -ie Extension to the season?? -or can the SPL just announce an extension and that's it?
If it can be opposed -then 100% agree with you -this must be opposed tooth and nail by everyone at Celtic Park.
-
Bazza, I missed the banner (and often find a use for such information), what did it say?
Italiabhoy, have I wronged you sometime in the past?
In the last transfer window when I published a correct Celtic transfer story you accuse me of acting like a tabloid, now I publish “snidey articles” about Cuellar.
Find me one.
I don’t recall expressing a single view of the player here (which I reserve the right to do), although I remember mentioning his appearance record (accurately).
If I have wronged you, tell me when, if not, get over your fascination with things I write very little, if anything, about.
I also find your comment incongruous. Last May I was perhaps the first person to say Rangers had as good a chance of winning the league this season as we had.
I said they would spend big and strengthen and they did. If anyone underestimate them it was not me. I look forward to your retraction.

sixo'clock,
I don't know, but I would assume that all Ranger's post-split opponents would have a say in whether it went ahead. In reality, most would probably accede to them for a quiet life (aka "the good of Scottish football").
If we were to make a stand I am sure it would be difficult for the SPL to ignore us. We would certainly have a good case for going to UEFA.
However we would be castigated by most of the country. It would be a "flag debate" for the 21st century. Celtic stood alone then, and history has shown that we were right. I would hope that Lawwell would have the cojones to stand firm, as did Bob Kelly all those years ago.

We need another strong team in the other semi-final in case the unthinkable happens and somehow they get past Fiorentina.

Paul,
Your article on Cuellar was very definitely a put-down of the player. Poor appearance record, nudge nudge wink wink...
Symptomatic of the underestimating of Rangers which has characterised this blog and Celtic FC itself in the last twelve months.
As for you foreseeing Rangers cantering away with the league, the Scottish Cup, and the League Cup, as well as a possible nightmare scenario of the UEFA Cup- well I'm sorry I must have missed that.
Did it come in between "A Generation of Domination" parts 34 and 35"?
If anyone has a retraction to make it is perhaps the author of this theory..?
-
Fiorentina failed to impress at home against PSV - this evening they looked like a good team - PSV were poor and found Mutu unplayable
TrueTim - Vieri came off the bench for 10 mins - not the player he once was
-
Magic!!
Glad to see the favourites through - here's to a Bayern - Firentina Final then- am sure Manchester would prefer to remain a Hun-Free zone!
Italiabhoy -thanks for the reply - interesting times ahead -I'm sure we'll take the right stand if THAT scenario raises its ugly head.
-
Dear Mr 109. I would like to add:
(To the tune of Andy Thom, Andy Thom)
Scotty brown, Scotty Brown...scotty scotty brown,
First touch is mince, tackles make us wince, why'd you sign at all.

I was actually at the Artemio Franchi in Florence only last Sunday to watch the Viola beat Reggina 2-0.
With Mutu and Pazzini, Fiorentina certainly have the firepower to win the tie and Bobo Vieri might not be the player he once was but with the ball at his feet he certainly caused the Reggina defence problems.
It was at the back that I thought they looked a bit weak with the defenders dithering on the ball. Someone like Davis constantly snapping at them could cause problems.
The other issue is that Fiorentina are involved in a major tussle for the 4th spot in Serie A with Sampdoria being one of their main challengers. And who do Fiorentina play the Sunday after Ibrox? Yep, Sampdoria.
Still think the Viola boys will put them out but I thought that about Werder Bremen as well.

10 April 1974, 34 years ago tonight...
Celtic 0 Atletico Madrid 0
Juan Carlos Lorenzo's side kicked, spat and assaulted Celtic, and Jimmy Johnstone in particular in a disgraceful performance which saw 3 of their players sent off and 7 booked.
The restraint shown by the Celtic players, and the support, was admirable.
To think that they were within seconds of winning the European Cup that year.
Thanks to Bayern's never say die attitude (demonstrated yet again this evening)Atletico were denied the greatest prize of them all.

The nails in Gordon Strachans coffin will either be hammered in or loosened off depending more on Sundays TEAM SELECTION than the result.
Will he prove himself to be stubborness made corporal or a man who sees what we have been seeing for months: Square Pegs Round Holes ; Underperformers who need a rest.
If GS backs his underperformers and the board then back GS then in my opinion the board will show they prioritise pound notes before supporters and results.
In case anyone is in any doubt I Am Not In the Least Happy.
Gordon Strachan prove me wrong prove me wrong when I said you should have been sacked after St Mirren @ home because at the moment I am leading myself to beleive Willie McStay could have saved our season.
For all the Mowbray, Collins, Yogu Hughes, Keane suggestions - wake up- we need an experienced man like Hiddink anf they are thin on the ground.
-
Italiabhoy,
Our CEO is already on record, quite correctly, as opposing any extension.
Whether any other clubs would raise an objection I don't know. I think it's St Mirren and Motherwell they still have to have agmes arranged against. The former have nothing to play for but the latter are very much in the race for 3rd. And that could also mean Dundee Utd and Hibs objecting to an extension.
-
Serutiku - I don't think it would taste nice ;-)
Cubist Frank - I hear they have a striker called Pazzini who will cause them problems.
Bayern result does make you rest a little easier.
-
nae bread,
I agree we should go for an experienced coach like Hiddink, but I think Mowbray et al are more likely.
I also think there is still a very good chance that Strachan will still be here next season.
Which is a shame, because a lot of fans won't be...
-
Best to say well done to them. It`s not easy to win away in Europe.
I think Fiorentina have stepped it up after their narrow squeak against Everton.
Hopefully the Bhoys can step it up too!
-
Pastyface, shocker.
Italiabhoy, manipulating what I say into something else altogether does not win you an argument.
If what you want to do is have a go and me without reference to anything I have said, say so, but if you want to make a serious (and civilised) point, try.
I hope you enjoy irony, as doing this to me while accusing me of being snide is is priceless.
Find me one single “snidey” article concerning the player or get over your obsession with what I don’t say and develop an interest in better things.
In April I explained here why 3 in a row would be a tall order.
I might be an easy target, but I am not a worthy recipient for every fantasy issue you dream up.

Just logged on without knowing the huns score apart from hearing some f'in idot playing orange tunes in a mixed company of adults and kids when I was picking up the cubs so i took it they had won.
I had it confirmed when I read back some of the posters. Let me say why does it make us a worse team if they are improving?
The worst hun team in decades some people on here were saying as a stick to beat us now they are saying their success is against us.
Is Smith now the most successful manager in this country since Jock?
Then what reason can people on here use that to batter us?

Agree with much of what you said earlier, but still can't understand the pre-occupation you and many others have with Rangers.
I'm a Celtic supporter and couldn't care less about them other than within the context of SPL, SFA Cup or League Cup.
Whatever else they get up to? So what?
What does it have to do with us?
I know I'm lucky and have spent 20 years in England and a further 25 in Sweden so I've not been exposed to the constant hatred and persecution since I was 21, but, believe me, absence doesn't make the heart grow fonder - it gives you a better perspective.
Rangers are worth no more to Celtic than Gretna or ICT - why do we still treat them as something special? They ain't, I assure you.
Many on here, including myself, would like to lose the "Old Firm" tag.
As usual, since they need us more than we need them, we are the ones who have to take the initiative. Let them hate us - you'll never see a better confirmation of an inferiority complex.
If you don't agree, please explain to me why they are so important in the greater scheme of things or even in our Celtic world.
They may win the SPL, but will do it with larger debts, smaller resources both players and financially and a future which I wouldn't look forward to.
First and foremost, Celtic must survive. That's it. The rest will take care of itself.
Sometimes you win, sometimes you lose - so long as Celtic are in the mix, I don't really care.
Chill man, this team may not be champions this season, although I still have hopes, but Celtic shall remain as the champion club in Scotland - and that is what matters to me.
Cheers

Italiabhoy
Which is a shame, because a lot of fans won't be...
I will. Will you?
For those you predict won't be there....well, that's up to them.
My commitments a little bit deeper than to abandon ship after one unsuccesful season or because, in my amateur observer opinion, the Manager's not good enough - despite much evidence to the contrary.
I don't share the arrogance of some who post on here who's conviction that they know better than Strachan, Lawell, Reid and on and on and on, is unshakable.
This next comment is not intended to antagonise you but there's a chance that it might. The tone of much of what you post gives me the impression that you take some satisfaction in the teams failure because it's then evidence that 'supports' your opinion. It's probably an incorrect impression but that's what your words lead me to believe. For example, your comment that I've copied at the very start of this post reads as if you'll be gloating if fans abandon the club. I won't and I hope I am wrong about you.
WE ARE ALL BROTHERS AND SISTERS IN CELTIC.

I know our manager likes his stats.
If, as I expect, we beat Rangers in both games at parkhead, then both teams will have cancelled each other out in terms of league points for this season.
If Celtic win 6 of their remaining games, they will have accumulated more points than won the league last year
-
Smellthe glove
Thats an unuasually optomistic post for you, or do I do you a disservice?
Will Gordon pick a team and a game plan that will beat Walter twice? Or, will Walter prove that he has Gordon in his back pocket.
Hate to say it but I am not optomistic when it comes to Gordon and hard graft SPL, I would have more faith if he was playing Arsenal !
Theres alway hope !

Top Post.
And your mention of Sweden gives me the opportunity to present the sign given to us that they will not win the Uefa Cup.
A proper European and Uefa superstar scored a goal tonight, one Henrik Larsson.
Even Edward does not consider Rankers a good enough team to have reached these heady heights but he'll take it if it's going.
I always want to see them cuffed but I would let them have the UEFA cup gladly if it meant we got the league. Long odds, I know, but you can still wish, hope and pray for it (no obligation there in case you think you're being bullied into being positive)

There's little point in getting worked up, depressed, or engaged at all with Rangers progress in Europe. There's nothing we can do about it, and to dwell on it eats away at the soul - forget about it.
They will be found out in time, and even if they surpass our efforts from 2003, so what? Our worst is their best. On and off the field past, present and future.
Let's concentrate on doing them - twice, and convincingly - and when I say "convincingly", I mean by a couple or 3 goals, on each occasion. Any of us who witnessed the first half at Ibrox must believe it's possible - I certainly do.
Time for the Manager to show he's capable of adapting.
3-5-2 and they are undone, for sure.

Let's do them, big style, and start to apply pressure the likes of which they haven't seen this season. Lets show the way. We have the players, and we're overdue the slice of luck that delivers the confidence for us to be what we can be - it may ultimately prove to be too late, but let's start sowing doubt in their psyche now. If not us, then who? if not now, then when?
As to the future of our Manager, I see no viable alternative on the horizon, not one that will fit the spend profile, and improve us. It can definitely be argued that GS has earned the right to a 4th season, the only dilemma I have is how much can he be trusted to spend.
But all things considered, and even although I have never taken to him as I did MON (and if thats the "not celtic minded" thing, then it must be buried so far in my subconscious that I'm even now not aware I subscribe to it!), next season I think GS should still be the man. And if he is, he should have the boards full backing (including financially), and his own burning desire to set the record straight.
Come on, Celtic (and I mean the whole Celtic family). Believe.
Hail Hail, bhono

Paul,
You know fine well you are being disingenuous about Cuellar, and I am surprised by your Clintonesque attitude on this.
You posted an article about him commenting adversely on his appearance record. The message was clear- draw you own conclusions, bloggers, Rangers sign another crock. Don't worry about this signing, people.
The article perfectly fitted the tone of this blog which is relentlessly upbeat about our club's management and direction, whilst downplaying Rangers' hierarchy. It's your blog, you can write what you like. I find your point of view interesting but not convincing.
Many of us spotted quite early on this season that Celtic seemed to be caught cold this year, and that talk of a "Generation of Domination" etc seemed at hopelessly at odds with the poor football and increasingly poor results of our team on the park.
This is different from framing the league title in terms of statistics from the past, as you did in that slightly esoteric article to which you provided the link.
Our problem is not that three in a row has been done irrugularly in the past. Our problem is not probability or the mysteries of the cosmos. Our problem is that we messed up. Big time. From a position of strength to boot. We underestimated our only opponent- a criminal mistake in my humble opinion.
Your Cuellar article stands testimony to a prevailing attitude of complacency and lack of vision at the upper echelons at Celtic. It's not your fault that we will probably not win the league this year. But like it or not, you have been a cheerleader for the strategy which has led us to this Silent Spring. You gotta expect some flak.
Oh, and in your linked article you talk of the league being "close". If the next two OF games go to form, their lead over us will be well into double figures...
What were the chances of that, eh?
-
aafg,
I know, you are right. Obsessing about them is unhealthy. However, like it or not, they are our one "opponent". What they do does have a relevence to us, sadly.
Swanseabhoy, I will certainly be there next season- should have made that clear.
The old "you are enjoying this line" is used frequently on CQN against posters who are not blinded by the spin on Lawwell and Strachan which is common on here. I have posted many times in the past that I will be delighted if I am wrong, and I will be celebrating with the rest if by some miracle we win the league.
I assure you I am hurting at our pitiful season. Unlike others, I have no grand "it'll-all-be-alright-theory" to fall back on...

Hunbelievable means believable, and once again the Fod pull it off. I didn’t see the game, but by all accounts it wasn’t up to much and was another stuffy encounter that the huns relish. The sports programme here in Germany (which criticized Bayern although they got through), gave their opinion of the huns game
- I quote from the telly -
“Bad football can get you to the semi final”.
Hunbelievable and true,

sometimes getting to the point of crisis can help focus you. i hope gordon and the bhoys have it clear in their minds that they have to beat rangers the next game and beat them well. back to winning ways this weekend needed desperately. we need to put motherwell in their place. it's pretty clear what needs to be done. i hope we see it
i don't know what kind of say we have on fixture extensions but i imagine any final decision won't be made in our favour whatever fuss we make.
39th game idea is rubbish but the final outcome could be interesting
finally, just incase you missed my attempts at humorous songs at end of the last thread......

he doesn't care what gordon says
why the hell should he care

why aren't they giving me a game?
cos u were out getting reeking till dawn

ohhh why am i not getting a game?

it's so lonely waiting for the taxi to burnley

But like it or not, you have been a cheerleader for the strategy which has led us to this Silent Spring. You gotta expect some flak.
I don't recall any pom poms other than a frank assessment of a fan who is calling it as he sees it. There have been many articles outlining where our teams need to strengthen posted by Paul as well as the warning that this year will be a lot closer than previous. All of which has been proven. Out total collapse on the field of play and the lack of tactical ability to change things when necessary have disrupted what could have been a very big stake in the ambitions of Rangers hearts.
I would also disagree we underestimated Rangers, we are guilty of the usual sin at Celtic. Sheer utter incompetence at grabbing an opportunity to bury your biggest rivals and falling back on penny pinching until the December window by which time the damage was done.

It would be churlish not to congratulate Ed and other decent Teds I know, but they aren't the guys who will be right in my face tomorrow morning! Enjoy your night, Ed - our Seville run gave me the adventure of a lifetime and it looks like you are having quite a run this year.
Bearing in mind that we hate to see you win anything, you'll understand that I hope you don't make it to Manchester. ;-)
Unless WGS makes the radical team changes on Sunday that most fans wanted last Saturday, then the league will definately be over and there will be no need for any extensions.
Although, the laptop loyal will go into overdrive during the next few days to help the cause. That is as predictable as Wattie's tactics tonight.
TTTT

sorry, but I wrote it on here a week or so ago; forget who has the better players, or the stronger squad.
THEY are WINNING right now. As was mentioned earlier, winning breeds confidence, and real belief that NOBODY will beat us. Sporting were poor tonight, but Rangers were strong in every dept - on and off the field.
In this 'mood', I honestly can't see us beating them on Wed. I can, sadly, see them turning us over.
And one thing I have to comment on, which might irk one or two; I read Paul's comments after the Motherwell game, about the great reaction of the fans etc.
I only got to see the game on Setanta on Wednesday, and I have to say, it sounded very like the Parkhead I remember. At around 55 mins, the noises coming from the crowd were far more negative than positive. I didn't hear anything by way of real encouragement.
The playeres looked nervous. No wonder.

p.s.
Away to my bed noo but not intending to start a flame war.

I wish I was as confident as you are that we will beat the huns.
Tonight should be another big wake up call !
Sporting probably have better technical players than we do and they found it impossible to pass thier way through anti-football
If WGS goes 4-4-2 and fails for the 5th time next Wednesday he must go and go there and then.
We need to get our act together now so that a new man can start to put together his team, on and off the park !
If we make a bold and ambitious choice recnt history has proved that things can be turned around quickly.
My big fear is either WGS stubbornly staying on or if he goes being replaced with a cheap option like Mark McGhee
Time for DD and the board to stand up for the club !
-
harry's hoody,
There was plenty of noise at the game on Saturday, but much of it was criticism of the team and manager.
It was an ugly, unejoyable atmosphere.
Lots of Japanese attending the game. I'd love to know what they made of it.
-
well...you know what??
Rangers did it tonight because they really wanted it and fair play to them..they deserve it!!
They showed character and heart which is everything that we don't have..
And that is what really riles me!!
we have no heart or character!!!
-
Strachan has never even attempted a 3 - 5 - 2, i think thats the most disappointing aspect. I think on occasion, particularly recently its shouldv'e been at least worth a go. Throw that into the mix along with never leaving on 3 strikers when we needed points. I never like to give up but I dont see us winning all remaining games.
-
Cuellar this and Cuellar that. My goodness, if I had 9 other outfield players playing alongside me in the penalty box, I'd be a competent centre half also. The fact is that teams are finding it incredibly difficult to get past a defence/team that includes the kitchen sink !
If we want solace of some sort, then this is the perfect comparison - Greece won the Euro Championships in 2004 but did not win any credit for the football played. I think Walter has a fondness for Lamb Kleftiki.
