  1. At this rate it will take RD about 5 years to learn how to compete tactically on the European stage. Why are some so determined to hang onto a very average manager who seems unable to learn by his tactical mistakes?

  2. If the board don’t trust RD with another European campaign he has to now with his replacement starting to plan inJanuary for next season. Would love to get hold of that folder John Kennedy is always holding and sketch the basics of how to defend a cross ball on it

  3. Celticrollercoaster supporting Shay,our bhoy wonder along the way on 27th November 2015 12:06 am

     

     

    Craig Gordon badly beaten at near post for second goal or wrong footed?

     

     

    My son who is a goalkeeper was cracking up at the game, while I was defending CG.

     

    ================

     

    It was poor from Gordon, especially as the player was left footed, though CG wouldn’t know that. A huge gap was left, if you are going to be beaten then it always has to be at the far post.

     

     

    CG gets beaten often at the near post. Not been a good season for him despite the excuse of a changed defence in front of him.

  4. Personally…..if I want to go and watch a young team give an older team a good game, but still get beat, I’ll go and watch a pre season under 13s take on an under 17s. When watching Celtic, particularly in European competition, I want an experienced, decent team rip any opponent a new wan……and be proud of it…..a new chorus for “A letter from America?” Fortress Parkhead no more…..

    But just looking at the game, every time Griff was greedy and shot rather than pass his team mates gave him abuse. Why they’d do that if the coach had told him to shoot on sight?

     

    ——————————————————————————

     

    Maybe the instruction was given one on one.

     

     

    Leigh disappointed.Thank god for that.He obviously didn`t perform to the best of his ability.

     

    I wonder why.Why shouldn`t I?

     

    Call it silly if you wish.

     

    What`s your explanation?

  7. CultsBhoy can not relate to Celtic Board ambitions on or off the park on

    I coach youth football – I’ve fallen for a few Scott Allan’s over the years but I’ve inevitably lost trust in them and ultimately redirected them to a level where they can play without having any pace….

  8. Just read the last couple of pages. It’s not worth making any comment tonight. Too many angry people with too few facts.

     

    Once a Celtic supporter, always a Celtic supporter,

  9. Travellerbhoy

     

     

    I understand the point you are trying to make…

     

     

    “We gave Ajax a great game with a really young team”

     

     

    But we were up against a younger team tonight.

    LG had an off night, and after each mistake he tried too hard to rectify. Thousands of strikers before him have done similar. There’s plenty to criticize RD about but this is nonsense.

     

     

    Happens all the time, to lots of strikers. No big conspiracy of master coaches trying to nobble strikers :O)

  11. CultsBhoy can not relate to Celtic Board ambitions on or off the park on

    Got to hand it to Lawwell with his shrewd timing of AGM… Had it been tomorrow He would have struggled to give the answers he gave last week

  12. Sftb..

     

     

    I don’t understand why you brought Seville into your point, that was a European final!

     

     

    For by that , yep, we are where we are, due to the money (tv) market controlling the game.

     

     

    Until that collapses, which I think it will.

     

     

    Our crowds will drop like our ambitions have.

  13. Sandman on 27th November 2015 12:08 am

     

     

    more of a lurker recently but i’ve still kept up with things enough to see that you’re still posting stuff that i mainly agree with. when you’re as angry as that with a celtic manager there’s clearly a problem, and i can’t argue with your thoughts on ronny

    ———–

     

    It was only a slightly younger team?? I think.

     

     

    But I’d bet appearance wise Ajax were will ahead of Celtic. Crazy to think only Gordon, Lustig and James would be classed as experienced Euro footballers.

    “Berget plays lousy for us and very well against us.

     

     

    Why?”

     

     

     

    Berget played 4 games for us and scored two goals. He was “lousy” in one game only- the Euro game.

     

     

    He played well for Malmo against us twice but, to be honest, I was not clamouring to buy him back.

     

     

    The differences in performance were not as stark as you stated and they are just down to the vagaries of form.

     

     

     

     

    The Green Man

     

     

    In my original post, I accepted that the result was poor and that the result is the bottom line. I still reserve the right to analyse and differentiate performances as different. If we lose but have played well, I am entitled to feel confidence that we can improve alongside my disappointment with the result. If we have won and played badly, I am entitled to rejoice at the win but worry about our next performance. I do not see all defeats as equally bad and all wins as equally good.

     

     

    You and others are entitled to disagree with me but not to call my view nonsense.

  16. Its so bad now….and so many people saying “give Ronnie more time” it’s now laughable……especially to mr lawell…….it’s so so bloody sad…….from a feared European force to this garbage…….

  17. so watched the very brief highlights

     

     

    i thought gordon was poor at bothgoals.

     

     

    alex mcleish, you can feck right off.

    =======================================================

     

     

     

    because psychologically some players can’t handle celtic. and some managers.

     

     

     

     

    part of the job of a celtic manager is helping players with that, part of it is identifying players who’ll flourish instead of being daunted by it

     

     

    – ——————————————————————————-

     

     

    That`s what I thought.

     

    I think Ronny`s body language,for one, tells us that he`s daunted by the Celtic job.

     

    That being the case,he is unable to reassure players who feel the same way.

  19. Peat of Islay

     

     

    I think you missed someone there.

     

     

    Our absentee landlord who actually makes the decisions.

  20. The players are also being brainwashed into thinking they are better than they are…….I read at least 3 of them saying how they were going to beat Ajax for Ronnie….and while I’m reading it I’m thinking….hmmmm….don’t know about that…

  21. Seeing Sutton, Petrov & Hartson as pitchside pundits tonight made me think….What kind of management team would that be

    “Silly” and “nonsense”

     

     

    Ay.

     

    O.K.

  23. Tell ye whit but.

     

     

    CQN is great for tuechters ex-pats and others who have never seen Celtic since the 1980’s

     

     

    Lol

     

     

    Fair doos . . You romantic fellows

    Once a Celtic supporter, always a Celtic supporter,

     

    ———————————————————————————————————————————————

     

    That’s not even remotely the case these days. Ten years ago we regularly had between 50 to 60,000 supporters at CP most home match days. These days there lucky if it’s 40,000 and often nearer 30k. The hard reality is that tens of thousands of former supporters no longer support the team. They (myself included) may still have a soft spot for the team but unless you actually go to matches (or contribute in the other ways for overseas supporters) then you no longer support the team.

  25. SFTB

     

     

    Apologies if I referred to your post as nonsense, that was unfair.

     

    Although I did disagree:)

  26. I don’t like Peter Lawwell because he is a proven liar

     

     

    He is not the problem however.

     

     

    The problem is Dermot Desmond. A horrible capitalist tory cunt

    SETTING FREE THE BEARS FOR RES. 12 & OSCAR KNOX on 27TH NOVEMBER 2015 12:21 AM

     

     

     

    I feel that this explanation is closer to the truth.

     

    CELTIC40ME on 27TH NOVEMBER 2015 12:09 AM

     

     

    Then again,I just want Ronny to go.

     

    Soon.

     

    Please.

    =========================

     

     

    You never mentioned what tune you’re meant to sing that to, mate…

     

     

     

    Celtic40me – I’ll take that as a back-handed compliment, buddy, thanks, in a sad way. Just seems to be getting ridiculous as far as his situation goes; I mean, how long is it going to go on?

     

     

    Since when did a Celtic manager fail to win in 10 second-tier European games, surrender fortress Parkhead’s power and still keep his job?

  29. THE_HUDDLE on 27TH NOVEMBER 2015 12:19 AM

     

     

    I think Celtic were 24(ish) and Ajax 22(ish).

     

     

    As for appearances I’ve no idea. Maybe some will have had more appearances for Ajax than some of our players will have had at Celtic but I doubt first team football appearances will be much different if you take into account appearances for clubs prior to Celtic.

  30. Sat in the San Siro in 1970 said it could not be any worse.

     

    Cup Finals,getting beat by Patick Thistle,and other nonentities,it could not be any worse.

     

    But you know what,that’s football the whistle blows 90/120 minutes later you win or lose.

     

    But what I hate the most are cheats that pull on a Celtic top,and unfortunately we have at present cheats in our club.Get rid off.

    I’d have played them tonight – and we’d have won.
