  1. lets all do the huddle ? on

    i’ve liked the look of elhamed since he came into the team

     

     

    he looks very composed on the ball, skillful and strong

     

     

    i dont think the same can be said for boli.

     

     

    he looks uncomfortable and anxious on the ball. hopefully its just early nerves and he relaxes into his game

     

     

    and julien looks like he wants to charge into the back of the forward when the ball comes to them. he needs to take a step back and be a bit calmer

     

     

    the one early in the game yesterday on the half way line when he charged the forward who had his back to him but sen him coming and turned him away with the ball – really schoolboy defending

     

     

    as i said, hope its just early nerves and they chill out a bit

    LETS ALL DO THE HUDDLE ?

     

     

    Re Jullien , I read that he picked up a lot of cards at Toulouse so he’ll have to be a bit smarter especially with our refs.

    Celtic fans and players have given up on Lennon. Of course there are the some whose ostrich stance has to be admired somewhat. It must be great having such subservient season ticket holders and possibly shareholders. Celtic have more off them in their ranks than most clubs.

    With all due respect this does not sound like it was posted by a Celtic Supporter.

    exactly

     

     

    so no matter what everyones thoughts are on neil being the manager, at least he knows how the refs work up here so should be helping julien to wisen up on them

    rock tree bhoy

     

     

    i thought exactly the same thing when i read it

     

     

    but hey, some cqners go on FF to see whats being said on there so if non-celtic fans want to come on here and comment then i dont think thats much of a hassle unless they start their bigotry pish that they like to do

    Mikey Johnston was my MotM just ahead of El Hamed. Some are saying MJ needs to beef up but he was more than a match for the Dunfermline sub who tried to barge him but instead bounced off him.

     

     

    Bitton was good but I agree with others that his contribution is not creative enough.

     

     

    I’ve reserved judgement on Boli and Julien until now. Boli isn’t good enough and Julien isn’t as dominant as he should be, especially in the air where he struggled on occasions with the Dunf centre forward.

  11. Turkeybhoy on

    Sunday,5 days after the Cluj game,so you would maybe thinkbsome of the more vociferous eejits would have calmed down

     

    A really gooda bit.No chance.Now found a few more things to vent their spleen at.The signing of the latest,bright young Irish youngster,has them up in arms.Thats 3 we have managed to sign now.All very highly thought of,and could save,or make the cluba fortune in the near future.Their one brain cell cannot compute this.Eejits to a man.Also,a brand new “Escape goat”in Lewis Morgan.Boy is rubbish,to these cretins.

     

    A really good ,balanced read on E-Tims today.An antidote to the deranged bile emanating from big sections of our support.For more local proof.Read Lucky Cody on here.

    but who do you think is going to be most useful to us in euro games and games against sevco?

     

     

    i want more elhameds in the squad and less mikey johnstones

     

     

    thats how we will progress in europe

     

     

    playing lightweight home grown players in those games has failed big time

     

     

    but it suited PL over the years because they are cheaper than having to sign folk

     

     

    so the cash stays in the bank and he gets his bonus

    I have stayed away from this dear green place since Tuesday. Tuesday night was a night that took me back to the 5-4 game against Partizan. I’ll not add anything to what has been posted.

     

    What is harder to take is that we have won 8 titles on the bounce including the treble treble. We forget what we have achieved in a short period of time but I get it after so much success. God I have had so many downs in my Celtic following years and there will no doubt be many more. I am consoled though that there will be so many good teams as well.

     

    We have had two poor games, Tuesday, everyone and their Granny knows that it was my namesake’s fault, it saddens me that he cannot accept that, something I think was reflected yesterday by all accounts. I wasn’t there yesterday, although I could have been but I was still hurting. It was wrong of me but hey ho!

     

    Whether we agree with my namesake’s tactics or team selections we need to get behind the team. A massive season, sevco are all in, they know they must stop us.

     

    Our Board and Manager have gambled and lost, despite spending £10 million on two players who don’t seem to be rated, sad.

     

    Until we meet again…

     

    Keep the Faith!

     

    Hail Hail!

    hang on

     

     

    you cant be posting that

     

     

    apparantley it has caused uproar

     

     

    😂😂😂😂

     

     

    for telling the truth

  16. SuperSutton on

    Many players out of sorts. Christie and McGregor uncharacteristically though they never hid. Griff and Eddie got very little to work with, which is usually the case playing against a packed defence.

    who is this ‘we’ you speak of?

     

     

    do you mean ‘you’?

     

     

    i would consult a doctor if thats the case

  19. SuperSutton on

    If you are going to post links to the Daily Record please advise. I prefer not to give them clicks.

  20. Philbhoy on

    My concern is that a few of the players thought they’d be slumming it in Leicester with twice the wages they are getting at CP.

     

     

    I’d be pissed off too!

  21. Lennybhoy on

    LETS ALL DO THE HUDDLE ?

     

    I did mean we, I don’t need to see a Doctor but thanks for your concern.

     

    Keep the Faith!

    fair point, i had orginally put the full link so it was obvious it was DR link but then shortened it

    Last week the BBC had a little video – should Dundee have had a penalty

     

    I’m sure they’ll do similar for us🤔

  25. ron67 on

    notice a lot more are are starting to be of the same frame of mind regarding the £10m spent on boil boil and julien

  26. An Dun on

    It would seem that Celtic’s confidence has taken an almighty knock. We need to very quickly regain it as we’ve a season defining two weeks in front of us.

  29. Turkeybhoy on

    Did not think Mikey was MOTM yesterday.Great talent,twinkling feet,he will be a major player when his decision making matches the rest of his talents,and sorry,he does need to bulk up a bit.Look at the difference in Christie.Watched a re-run of the game this morning.Julien never lost a ball in the air.Calmac really got skinned for the goal.Maybe imagination,but watching the replays,he looks a few pounds heavier,in the wrong places.Maybe.

  30. lazydynamite on

    Boli and Julien may not turn out to be brilliant value for the amount spent.

     

    But I am more than confident that both will settle in and become decent enough.

     

    The hysteria over these two and what they cost is starting to annoy me.

     

    The Scottish press are all over this and too many Celtic fans are being sucked in.

     

     

     

     

    What you will never read in the scottish press or hear on radio shortbread

     

     

    How many games has Rangers 3.5 million pound centre half Philip Helender played this season?

     

    whats wrong?…..3.5 million ?…..hmmmm

  31. corkcelt on

    In life, relationships, work and particularly in Sport, confidence will carry you a long way. Players are ordinary ghuys just like us, they read social media & see what is being said.

     

    During the games they are aware of both encouragement & abuse.

     

    We have a great squad, the bulk of them have won the Treble Treble, all this negativity is not good for either us Supporters or the Players.

     

    Obviously if there is something wrong on or off the field we have a responsibility to react & call it out,

     

    However ongoing repetitive negativity is a self fulfilling road to nowhere.

     

    In the last week we have taken a couple of heavy blows but we knew we were never going to win Champions League, we are still standing in all Competitions we can realistically hope to win.

     

    Better to light a candle than curse the darkness, we are just one good performance away from redemption, Thursday can’t come fast enough for me.

  32. Turkeybhoy on

    RON 67,

     

     

    What,that they are useless?

     

    Aye right.Read your posts from earlier.Not getting better with age.Read E-Tims today.See what they say aboutbthis type of gutter gossip.You do know the same would have been said about Pukki,by the enlightened in our support.

  36. Turkeybhoy on

    LAZY DYNAMITE,

     

     

    Or the American superstar,Matt Polster.Orthe Croatian superstar,Barisic,being keptout by the brilliant Flanagan.

  37. corkcelt on

    ron, the way you are posting it sounds like you are more interested in being vindicated in your early assessment then in wanting Boli & Julien being a success,

     

    I agree that so far neither have set the heather alight and ironically the signing that was met with the least enthusiasm Elhamed is the one that is looking the business.

     

    I still say it’s early days in my life I have seen signings that took a year to settle before they came good & equally there are good players who never settle at a Club, currently Pukki is a prime example.

     

    All I can say is Boli & Julien have a better chance of being the players we want them to be, if we get behind them rather than slag them.

    Hello again all you young rebels.

     

     

    LENNYBHOY

     

    Can’t argue with any of that, although i will say i’m not willing to write

     

    off the two players you mention until i’ve given them a decent chance

     

    i’ve made that mistake before when i watched big Paul Elliot in his

     

    first game for us in Germany preseason and i remarked to my bhoy

     

    ” never a Celtic player, looks like Bambi on ice ”

     

    So lesson learned.

     

    And yes Lenny made a catastrophic mistake against Cluj but tell me a

     

    manager who’s never fecked up?

     

    Anyway had a wee uplift today when an Aussie dad brought his lad down

     

    to our game today and asked if he could have a trial for next season, but

     

    it had to be with the Celtic coaches, wow! just maybe we’re not toooo bad.

    So once again we manage to snatch defeat from the Jaws of victory.

     

    The reasons are many, players on the night, managers tactics, and the failure of the club to lay down foundations for success beyond domestic victories.

     

    Our repeated failure under different managers to qualify is symptomatic of a lack of a football strategy.

     

    The chief executive, will rightly be questioned, but to use a football analogy the ref is often the guy who cops the blame, but frequently the real culprits are linesman.

     

    In our case the non executive directors. They should be holding the Chief Exec to account.

     

    Guys like Wilson, Allison have been around for years, with no attributable successes.

     

    BTW that’s not to suggest PL gets off the hook.

     

    Methinks we need the following

     

    1. Start holding the non execs to account at the AGM. Every year, they come along, and enjoy an easy ride. If they were regularly asked challenging questions, Imho they would melt and disappear.

     

    2. Get someone in the board with a bit of football nous, to develop a proper strategy to qualify for the CL.

     

    The qualification route is highly predictable.

     

    We know the dates, and the calibre of opponent and that their resources will be 50% or less than ours.

     

    3. Get in someone who has contacts and influence in EPL

     

    4. Tell the manager to surround himself with decent coaching staff. John Kennedy gets a bit of fkak, but none if us know what advice he gives or gets. Damian Duff was coaching at youth level less than a year ago. He was a great player, but we need a couple of “seen it, done it” experienced coaches to help manager on nights like Tuesday.
