    We now have to play a dead rubber in in Turkey after which we have 7 months to build a team capable of qualifying for the CL. We are more than able to win the treble given the dearth of opposition in Scotland but to improve in Europe we need plenty spondooliks. How many of us would back RD with their own money ?

    Fair point I actually thought MacGregor was still that young, or at least not so far off it.

     

     

    My point is still valid though, and if we were further along the line that Ajax are a 22 yr old would have vastly more 1st team experience than MacGregor does.

     

     

    We need time to get there, we can’t just chuck all of KT’s u19 teammates into the 1st team.

     

     

    btw he pointed at his ankle as he was going into the dugout, so I think he’d taken a knock

    I am amazed at the frequency that people involve themselves in interpreting the body language of others and concluding that it proves the opinion they held of them initially. It’s almost as if all of it is an attribution rather than an actual observation. –

    I wasn`t talking about tonight.And I wasn`t talking about interviews.

     

    His haunted look in the dugout……..

     

    Ally McLeod in Argentina.

     

     

    I was talking about one factor amongst a number which indicate that he is not up to the job.

     

     

    Yours and other`s loyalty to our coach does you credit.

     

    However,you surely don`t think that this debacle can be permitted to continue?

     

     

    Just promote him laterally,if you wish,but put someone else in charge before the damage gets any worse.

    How much more evidence do we need?

     

    It is horribly regrettable,but surely this cannot continue.

  12. weeminger on

    Hypothetical question.

     

     

    Let’s say RD genuinely does have the skills to create a CL team from youth and decent transfers. How long do you think that would take?

  13. Highland Paddy on

    Watched the highlights on stv there. A match we could have won but ultimately lost. This programme is clearly produced in England by itv but hey ho, they wheel out McLeish & the English anchor man says Celtic lost due to sevco not being in top league. Cue McLeish given the license to tell everyone how scottish fitba has missed the club that is of today only 3 years & 122 days old and all because of all the many players he signed and couldn’t afford. Ah expect this from stv / bbc Scotland but disappointed that itv in England presenters going along with the ” missing sevco” narrative. McLeish once said The Huns were a club of unsurpassed dignity.. Ha Ha Ha look how that turned out ! Here’s ma take on sevco, McLeish & dignity…. Thanks Alex for helping the Huns grave to DIG- NITY gritty is that your as sick as a pig, and to tell you the truth I am loving this gig, cos The Rangers are deed and ah don’t give a fig !!!!

    Nat How much extra woud you be willing to pay ?

     

    ——————————————————————————

     

    Oh I think we pay enough already.

     

     

    Look – it’s the job of the Celtic board to ensure the football budget is sufficient enough to meet the aspirations of the fans/customers. That is constrained by how much money they make from the business side. So the choices they have are :

     

     

    i) Raise more cash from business operations in order to pay for better players/managers.

     

    ii) Develop talent that is acquired at low/no cost.

     

    ii) Re-set the expectations of the fans/customers so that they don’t go into every season expecting to perform well in European competition.

     

     

    I think the fans find (iii) unacceptable and do not have the patience for (ii). So that leaves (i).

     

     

    It’s not a job I’d want, but the bottom line is – if those in charge are unable to properly fund the football operation to meet the expectations they’ve set, then they are failing and someone else needs to be given the job.

    To qualify or to win the Champions League? :-)

     

     

    I’d say 3 years for any manager – RD or otherwise.

  20. Gordon64 on

    Failure once again to qualify for the CL. And sitting bottom of the EL group with 2 points after 5 games. There will be those among us who are calling for RDs heid at the same time as those who believe he will deliver us the treble. Imo RD is probably a decent coach but far from being fit to hold the position as the manager of Celtic.

    Who would you replace him with?

  22. weeminger on

    NatKnow on 27th November 2015 1:38 am

     

     

    At least 3. I’d give him 5. Seriously. Unless he loses the league.

    I don’t necessarily disagree – I’d be OK with that. But to go back to your previous point, the Celtic fanbase as a whole does not have that patience.

     

     

    Also – saying you’d give him 5 years implies that you believe he does have that capability?

  26. weeminger on

    Gordon64 on 27th November 2015 1:49 am

     

     

    The same Henrik Larsson, who managerial record to date is far, far poorer than RD’s was prior to coming to us? That one?

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

     

    Agreed.

     

    Jim Craig said on C.Q.N. that Europe was the criterion of success for Celtic.

     

    Or words to that effect.

     

    Surely that is the case?

     

     

    S.P.L matters………………….The rest is irrelevant in the larger scheme of things.

  34. Gordon64 on

    Nat Henrik who played international football at the highest level and played in world cup finals. Henrik who has played for Barca and won a CL medal. Henrik who has played under Alex Feguson. Henrik who was our greatest ever player. What does he know about football ?

  35. petec on

    What can’t be allowed to happen again, is both our first choice CH’s being allowed to leave, especially when they were as talented as Jason and Virgil.

     

     

    There were some signs tonight that we could have a decent back four, with a lot of hardwork put in over the coming months. Broonies injury, given tonights game, is a real blessing in disguise for the future, IMO.

     

     

    Their winning goal sort of sums up things at the moment for Celtic under Ronny Deila.

     

     

    I couldn’t see who lost possession from the opposite end of the stadium, just like I wasn’t sure if it was Scott who had played a majestically weighted pass that we were unfortunate not to score from, and a probable winner, as the game had opened up Big Time by then as both teams realised they had to win this game.

     

     

    Young Kieran after a shakey first 10, produced another superb performance where he made excellent decisions continuously, throughout the match. A real star in the making.

     

     

    Unfortunately, I never seen the hard pressing game we should have had from mid forward and Ajax were able to control the play for periods of the game.

     

     

    Keeping the Faith that things will come together.

     

     

    An excellent goal by Callum but I think his ship has sailed.

     

     

    Those Emerald Isle Celts, and there were many there tonight, are just Amazing.

  37. 'GG on

    I’ve only read the last two pages after just watching the replay on Celtic TV.

     

    Two individual errors were fortuitously and then ruthlessly punished.

     

    We weren’t as sharp as they were especially in front of goal.

     

    Leigh Griffiths didn’t have the best of nights up against a fast defence.

     

    Considering we had our three main midfielders out, without even mentioning Kris Commons, I’m not despondent.

     

    We are crying out for a striker to hold the ball up and have the midfielders run in behind the defenders.

    Ally was an irrelevance as a Manager, I hoped he’d stay forever.

     

     

    Walturd on the other hand, after getting horsed 4-1 at home by Unirea got asked perhaps 1 question.

     

     

    I heard most of the questions and Ronny answered them well, despite being bitterly disappointed, every question leading to the Ultimate question about Embarressment.

     

     

    If we can’t take our time to build something when we have the TIME to actually do it, well, I guess we wallow alongside the whole of Scottish Fitba’s current mediocrity.

     

     

    There were signs tonight, and I thought Ajax were poor at the back and not very good overall, but they are easily way above anyone else in Scotland.

     

     

    Get that Treble Ronny.

  42. macjay1 for Neil Lennon on

    Ronny in the Herald

     

     

     

    “However, the Norwegian stated that he has seen signs of improvement in his side and is confident that he can secure a spot alongside European footballl’s elite at the third time of asking next term.

     

     

    “We are going to be ready next year,” said Deila. “That’s the message to all the fans and that’s the task I have here with everybody else at this football club.

     

     

    “I know it’s small details. I could see a lot of good spells in this performance, but I know we need to be better with the small details to win games. I feel we are very close, but it’s not good enough right now.

     

     

    “But I believe we will be ready for the Champions League next season. I can see it’s only small details.

     

     

    “If you can see the big picture you’ll see that also. But next year we are going to be better than teams like Malmo.”
