    There are none so blind as those who will not see…we are improving not one iota…if we could at least see some green shoots, something to give us hope…but no, we definitely appear to be going backwards……..or am I wrong?

  3. Stats on UEFA are interesting:

    61% possession; 20 efforts on goal only 3 on target while Astra had 5!

  4. Just back from game. Awful. Even worse than Zagreb performance. Two home EL games and six points, but best team lost in both games.

     

    We struggle against teams who sit in at CP because we are totally bereft of creativity in midfield and play the game at snail’s pace. We are better away from home when teams come at us, we’ll probably win comfortably in Romania in a fortnight.

     

    Our pathetic excuse for a signing policy is coming home to roost. Scepovic looks like the latest in a long line of strikers who are cheap punts from abroad and aren’t good enough, Tonev and Wakaso are obviously so good that we play two slow central players on the wings instead of them. And Berget is that good he can’t even get on the bench for as poor a team as we’ve had in years. The only two players signed who you would want to keep will not be here next season.

     

    Another borefest to look forward to on Sunday!!

  6. Amazing to think that a win away to Astra and a win for Salzburg would see us through.

     

    This is Celtic though so no doubt it will go to the last second of the last game.

  7. What is the Stars on

    Tet, it’s nothing to do with being hun like. There is no sense of entitlement from me

     

    We won’t win the europa league, I would be happy to get out of the group, what’s frustrating is that with a decent manager we could do better

  8. BOBBY MURDOCH'S CURLED-UP WINKLEPICKERS on

    PEDROCARAVANACHIO67

     

     

    Yes,mate.

     

     

    Each year ends as I return from Scotland.

     

     

    A long winter awaits till my next trip. Actually a bit earlier this year as I’ll be home for THE KANO DO on March 28.

     

     

    That should be fun. I may wear a suit.

  9. PFAYR

     

     

    I’m not happy clapping mate but you’ve shown your hand too early to the point you’re boxed in…change takes time. He may not be the answer but shocking stuff from some so called fans tonight…

     

     

    Balance sheet

     

     

    You called the comparison not me. Big picture and results are important. We’ve played prettier and lost. We are in a better position than many naysayers said we would be in this competition.

     

     

    Look I get a kick out of celtic. Always have. Always will. The current fad for waiting for Ronnys dismissal is pathetic.

     

     

    IMHO.

     

     

    We won ffs…

    Just thing out.

     

    Three points won, thanks very much, but the performance was poor.

     

    Tonight, it’d didnt seem to me it was tactics, or lack of shape.

     

    It was players not passing 5 yards, or running to close down, or make space.

     

    Seldom seen Scott Brown play so poorly.

     

    Scepovic and Johansen played ok.

     

    Gordon played very well.

     

    That was about it. Even Lustig looked out of sorts.

     

    Tonev, please no more, he may have skill, but hide and seek isn’t the game.

     

     

    But, three points, learn, move on and improve.

    I have no problem with the fans being unhappy and I don’t think were are playing well at the moment.

     

    I remember when great teams came to CP and were cautious. Some great nights. Great memories.

     

    Now were at a different place, along with the majority of world football. So be it. I know those times will come back, but meantime we are where we are and that’s life.

     

    I’m content to go along and watch Celtic no matter what. Support will carry us through. Virtiol will only create the environment for further unnecessary decline. I won’t be party to that.

     

    When those heady days come back. AND THEY WILL!!! It’ll be all the sweeter and I WILL appreciate it all the more.

    Missed the game. Decent result.

     

     

    Predictable inability to retain possession in Europe.

     

     

    Ronny has been left with loans and Stokes up front. How I hope he shuts up a lot of people on here.

     

     

    The blessed Martin struggled, despite having Larsson etc, against a crap Finnish team. Managers need time.

  14. It’s ridiculous to suggest that any team we’ve faced in Europe this season are anywhere near as good as the Boavista team we faced in ’03.

    Hamiltontim

     

     

    That’s a telling post and poignant for those who are almost boasting they can’t be bothered supporting.

  16. ....PFayr supports WeeOscar on

    Paulanthony

     

     

    Better than Pukki, Boeriggter,Balde, Bangura,Berget, …and thus far better than Tonev and Wakaso

     

     

    IMO both are better than McGregor who I thought was awful tonight

  17. Deniabhoy, only time will tell;-)) that’s the point im trying to make. Match by match we’ll all have positives & negatives to say about the squad, team set-up, manager, back room staff etc but this is now, lets wait and c, eh. Ure 4 gettin that NCL shoulda won a treble, i call that a failure?

     

     

    Hail Hail

  18. TheOriginalSadiesBhoy on

    Just in from game. Ugly win but I’ll take that every day of the week. Ronny Deila is a lucky manager! I sat through the game tonight soaked through to the skin. There was a monumental downpour just before the game and thousands of us got a good drenching.,it got so bad you had to laugh :-)) pneumonia tomorrow.

     

     

    Hail! Hail! The Celts are here!

     

    What the hell do we care now!

    We don’t need any favours if we beat the 3 other teams

     

     

    Undefeated at halfway

    23:28

     

     

    Relativity. It’s rediculous to suggest that the Celtic team that played Boavista are in any way comparable to our current squad.

     

    I’d suggest that comparison therefore stands.

    Just back from game poorest performance from a celtic team I’ve ever seen, no cohesion what so ever, , players are lost.

     

    Supported the appointment of Ronnie but alas time to go.

     

    Plc time to pull the finger out and get realistic with your paying cliental, or you will be playing in front of circa 10000.

     

    Ps. Plc. Pay the living wage.

  22. BCW

     

     

    In no way was I having a dig at anyone, I was just personally humbled by their efforts to watch Celtic tonight.

     

     

    Nice to see you tonight mate, as always.

  23. wits

     

     

    Ronny is here to stay, Pedro has decreed.

     

     

    Get used to it.

     

     

    How in fs name can the manager be blamed for all the pish passing etc, that is down to the pish players we have.

     

     

    Down to the signing policy, down to the loan deals the coach didn’t want etc.

     

     

    Get real ffs

  24. BIG-CUP-WINNERS on

    Doc

     

     

    The goal will give him confidence to do just that. He was unlucky after his opener and took the right option to leave the ball to Stefan to drill what turned out to be the winner.

    Amazing coach we have in Ronny, so amazing that he is responsible for all the misplaced passes, all the wayward crosses, all the mistimed tackles, all the missed chances.

     

     

    What a man Ronny is.

     

     

    —–

     

     

    Exactly TET.

     

     

    The players tonight need to accept responsibility for too often passing to guys with different tops on!!!
