Stunning TIFO today.
Genius.Current.Striking.
This is what they can do as we have seen so many times before.This is what they ban.
Brilliant GB.
Loudest chants I heard today by far were “Martin O’Neill” then “sack the board”
To my ears, barely a decibel between them
Disappointing. The team needs our support.
If they get it, this dogs breakfast of a season could still be a success.
For the rest of the campaign the players we have in place tomorrow night will be it.
For the rest of the campaign the current board will be in place.
I hope most of our fans accept both realities … and get fully behind the team.
If the fans feel they must show their displeasure at the board, it should not be to the detriment of support for Martin and the bhoys
No emotion or position taking in that statement.
Just logical.
Compromise suggestion?
The fans sign … to their current tunes …
“Back the team, sack the board”
The players will hear the distinction, particularly the backing for the team coming first.
Your a grand Lhad Hail Hail.

How did that challenge/tackle on Yang this afternoon differ from the challenge on the Hertz player last night that saw The Arabs go down to 10 men?
Stand up if you hate the Board !!!
Vast majority showed today they despise the Celtic Board and their incompetence.
Today confirmed the Mute, the beancounter and the cop are finished.
Desmonds have zero credibility left at Celtic with their spiteful attacks on ordinary fans.
Nicholsons and Hargreaves’s attacks on the Celtic support with the green brigade corner like one huge kettle show the disdain they have for the support. These two revulsive characters banning fans media means we are the only club in the world banning our own fan media. how sick is that from the gruesome twosome.
Nicholson is totally incompetent running around with McKay chasing third rate targets in the last hours of the transfer window. He will not deliver Mons requirements given to them weeks ago. It will mean he has failed again and it is his resignation statement —- Useless.
Nicholson and his mate Hargreaves’s are toast. McKay is not the sharpest tool in the shed and will easily be replaced.
Getting shot of this lot will give the place a huge lift—- can’t come soon enough enough.
“McKay is not the sharpest tool in the shed….” says Lucky Cody.
“Not the sharpest tool in the shed” is a common English idiom used to humorously or mockingly describe someone who is not very intelligent, quick-witted, or capable. It implies the person lacks mental sharpness, comparing them to a dull tool. The phrase often serves as a polite or indirect way to call someone foolish or slow.
Key Details Regarding the Phrase:
Meaning: Someone who is slow to understand, not bright, or not very intelligent.
Context: It is almost exclusively used in the negative (“not the sharpest tool…”) to criticize intelligence.
Origin: The idiom originated in the early 1900s, using tools in a shed as a metaphor for mental aptitude.
Variations: Similar idioms include “not the brightest bulb in the box/on the tree” or “not the sharpest crayon in the box”.
Literal Interpretation: While not meant literally, practical contenders for the sharpest tool in a real shed might include planer blades or a sharpened scythe.
Examples of Use:
“I tried explaining it to him, but he’s just not the sharpest tool in the shed”.
“He forgot his keys inside the locked car again—he’s not the sharpest tool in the shed”.
Rounded points per game records of the 3 title chasing managers this season.
McInnes : 2.25
Rohls : 2.4
Martin : 2.8
Martin has TWICE picked up a struggling team and taken them on a run of victories.
His only “blemish”?
A 2:2 draw away to the league leaders …
… after a 10-man stand away from home in Europe 65 hours earlier
… abetted by a scandalous intervention from a man who LOVES Rangers (his words)
Martin is outperforming his competitors and he has barely got started.
I look forward to seeing his team across February to May with new faces AND more players back from injury
Aye, I’m just back from the future – the Hertz fans are taking about how Celtic refused to go away.
I’d Imagine the hate towards the board will amplify 10 fold when everyone sees the quality of the late ‘signings’ ….now I wasn’t sure about the boy from Italian 2nd div …but it looked like he had something…..the boy from Hungary looked OK as well but obviously 3rd choice
We now have a 4th choice punt and fingers crossed …….we really really are a total shambles….depressingly so
“Never a Celt….
Always a Fraud”
Green Brigade on Michael Nicholson?
No, on er Brendan Rodgers…..
BACK TO BASICS – GLASS HALF FULL on 1ST FEBRUARY 2026 9:06 PM
Your balanced views and positivity are part of what keeps The CQN comments section sane but you’re into fantasy territory if you think anything changes in the Summer.
This is it for Celtic for a while yet – we’ve lost two managers, a head of football operations , a head of scouting and we’re getting good results again but the bloodlust is getting worse. Giving the mob what they want only emboldens them.
Who knows what shifts the dial, It used to be results but thats not enough any more, a transfer window will never provide the relief people want.
Celtic Mac
and ??
Celtic40ME
so dont get rid of the board/replace with more competent professionals ?
we’re getting good results again inspite of the board
A 116th minute penalty for Olympiakos is another kick in the teeth for Huns on an already bad day. The only hope of direct entry to CL if they do win the league is now if Olympiakos don’t win the Greek league. This equaliser at AEK keeps them in the hunt for sure. Just off the top.
If they do get to it even with a 1 round qualifier they will make sure their manager has a team good enough to qualify, because they spend on their team. If they get the extra 20m by doing so they will improve their team you won’t see it on a bank balance.
“ I’d Imagine the hate towards the board will amplify 10 fold when everyone sees the quality of the late ‘signings’ ….now I wasn’t sure about the boy from Italian 2nd div …but it looked like he had something…..the boy from Hungary looked OK as well but obviously 3rd choice

Let’s see what tomorrow brings, but remember:
If we sign 2, the mob will want 3; if we sign 3, the mob will want 4; if we sign 4 the mob will immediately label them all as pish before they’ve kicked a ball.
Goodnight.
Celtic 40 me
Some won’t be happy until Celtic lose.
We sign players and we have experts on here saying not good enough before they even get unveiled by the club. Never mind if we have even seen them kick a ball.

Thanks, I agree with you.
And a good, clear, unambiguous message !

Let me see,one of our new season saviours,brought in to improve our goals for ratio
Goals scored,,,,,,,,,,,,0
Assists,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,0.

IMHO we need a “cuteness” coach.
Hearts managed to get their opponents reduced to 10 men for a DU player obeying the laws of physics – by Leonard planting his foot where Fatah’s foot was destined by momentum and gravity to land. VAR then had the simple task of decreeing a foul challenge and advising the dismissal.
Then Braga engineered a penalty from what was really little more than a collision between two players. Strain planted his leg to block the ball, and Braga then did a drag back and his momentum carried him into the defender… but he made sure that he moved sideways so that he went over Strain’s trailing leg, barely in the penalty area. It was very clever by Braga and Kyziridis was happy to reap the reward from the spot.
In Celtic’s game today we had a goal disallowed after a Falkirk defender pushed Maeda into an offside position in the goalmouth, where an initial shot struck him (denying a goal), and when the ball was eventually put into the net, Maeda was ruled offside.
Had Maeda gone to ground when he was pushed, it is difficult to see how the officials could have failed to award Celtic a penalty kick.
Sadly our players aren’t as d̶i̶s̶h̶o̶n̶e̶s̶t̶ cute.
There have been other incidents in recent games (including the European games) where Maeda I’m particular could have got opponents into bother, to Celtic’s advantage, but he’s just too honourable and honest!

*Reminds me of a high school teacher I once hard, also a die hard supporter wo travelled home and away to see the bhoys, one day in class some one asked him who was the worst player currently at Parkheid, his response was emphatically Charlie Gallacher.
Would luved to have bumped intae 2 years later when Charlies thunderbolt bounced off the bar spiraling upward and then down tae a wee ten thirty waiting for it to come down and nod it intae the net, and then 50 minutes later his corner that Big Billy nodded intae the net tae end the drought.
Or just under 2 years later Charlie’s corner being nodded intae the net, again by Big Billy, in the 90th minute tae take us through tae the semis of the Big Cup
Only 3 points were the option today and Celtic achieved that, sure there were hearts in mouths incidents but we weathered the storms. Now, are we gonna buy players that will improve the squad…I feel not…but we may get some loan to buy players that might. My thinking on this is that buying now may interfere with our new summer managers plans.
As for Moa O Muir…good to see you latching on to TT’s language faux pas on language…it’s nice to know we still have grammar Nazi’s…you know, as a poster who has no problem talking about unter mensch….you are not a Tim…at best you are a sh*t-stirrer

H.H.
The mob?
This being the Celtic fan base.
As they say in Derry, catch yourselves on.
And what does that make you? The latest in a never ending chain of self-deluded, self-identified elites heading for oblivion at the hands of said ‘mob’ 🤡🤡🤡🤡🤣🤣🤣🤣?
Keep the mob happy or they’ll feast on you chaps. Know your history. 👍
Just see the Hearts game red cards. Neither would have seen red against us, certain of that. Their players know to be the atrial and they’ll get decisions. Penalty probably the same.
Surely we should wait to see how new recruits perform before we write them off. Many were shouting in the summer to get Balikwisha signed as though he were some world beater. Hasn’t worked out too well so far. The SPL is not the most attractive to league to come to, and number one targets may also be desired by clubs playing in a better league. This is not an exact science and Sean Maloney has clearly indicated that the final choice of player is down to Martin O’Neill. Hopefully, we can get the required players in tomorrow and progress to retaining the league title.
Dundee have a fairly decent run of games coming up and only have two more meetings with to three teams, with their remaining pre-split games against 4th and 5th both at home. I’m going they can finish in the top 6 with their 4th meeting with Hearts, which will be at Dens Park, being their final game!

Nothing about supporting celtic makes some people happy.
Celtic40me at 9:48pm – cheers.
Your “This is it for Celtic for a while yet” statement?
I happen to agree with it.
I’ve said here a few times … the healing will take years.
On the ongoing unrest?
If I had the straight choice of this playing out in the summer (no matter how damaging) or continuing to play out during this season?
Easy choice. (But not mine to make).
As to your comment about their being a mob?
I agree with a big “but”.
I think that “mob” is tiny in number.
The problem the board have (and it IS theirs) is that this tiny mob have the ear of a large chunk of our support.
That large chunk are ordinary, decent Celtic fans who are incredibly frustrated … and those frustrations have not been addressed effectively.
For sure, this won’t go away in the summer.
If we win the league though?
The levels of dissatisfaction will reduce in varying degrees across the gamut of our fans base.
For some, completely
Others, massively
More still, moderately
Another group, just a little
And finally those for whom the hatred acquired runs simply too deep.
To the point I made a few days back – Celtic might never make them smile again.
For that they have my sympathy.

“As they say in Derry, catch yourselves on.”
Seriously, the same back at you.
If you spend as much time as you do handing out insults and being abusive to people you don’t know you really need to learn to take a bit of criticism a bit better. Otherwise it really reflects badly on you

You would know better than me, and you’ve always had a more positive outlook on things, probably by nature.
But at the moment I think this is our new normal.

H.H.
I’m not a hater or intentionally negative, I’m a realist and always prepared to provide my reasons.
Just to get ahead of the incoming sniper fire, I’ve served professionally on several boards and been an advisor to others. None of that work has been in the football world. I have no inside information, just good intuition and the benefit of easily recalled facts, but in reality this movie is an old one on a loop.
We may well win the league this season, and the bookies still make us favorites. I’m unimpressed by Sevco and underwhelmed by their manager. The business they have done will marginally improve a very workman like squad. Hearts and the dislikable McInnes have done good value business and will do better than anybody would have expected, but are yet to be properly tested under pressure.
If Celtic do win the league, it will be in no small part down to the magic of the legend that is MON. It will certainly not be because the board planned for success, or delivered the players so desperately and obviously needed – they in fact failed to do that in the summer and failed to react early in the current window. I will say that Araujo and Cvancara have both made an encouraging start, and I wish the best for the two latest players reportedly close to signing…
Junior Adamu: Freiburg (CF) has 66 Bundesliga games and 7 goals over the last 3-years.
Joel Mvuka: Lorient/Young Boys (FW) has 72 Ligue1/2 appearances with 5 goals over the last 2 1/2-years.
Common wisdom suggests we will also bring in a right sided center back (with Welsh being allowed to go back to Motherwell on loan), and possibly a midfielder.
Celtic over the last 3 years have a player trading profit of €45M (straight from Transfermkt with no diligence), which seems about right. In other words, we have a net spend of negative €45M. Given domestic trophies won and European progress over the same period, the board may be slapping themselves on the back in a congratulatory frenzy. But, in this period I don’t ever recall feeling that we emerged from a single window stronger than we entered it – I remember the void left by notable departures; Kuhn, Idah, Kyogo, Jota, O’Reilly, Abada, Juranovic, Giakoumakis, e.t.c..
As we arrive in the last 24-hours of the current transfer window, there is little doubt that could be changing. A low bar, indeed, and a sign that the board accepts the downsizing had gone too far. Now they must hope that this shift in direction is not too late, just as they pray their feckless leadership survives scrutiny.
I know what the board are supposed to be doing, and there is little to no evidence that it is getting done, or at least getting done properly. Signing players can be a lottery, and every club will have their own process to reduce the inherent risks. As I see it, the criticisms of the board remain consistent, and although frequently focused on transfer windows, they are in reality more about the overarching strategy. The real issue is lack of fan engagement, and a lack of transparency. It is as if the board fails to realize that this is our club, and they are just there as custodians representing today’s investors. Shares will change hands, and new masters will appear, but the fans are forever.
Ideally any football club board should try to harmonize the ambitions of the fans with the expectations of the shareholders, as this recognizes two principal stakeholder groups in largely equal but different ways, both of which are likely consistent with the needs of the third principal stakeholder group; players/management/staff. Alongside this balanced vision for the club, the board’s performance should be examined based on achievement of specific and measurable strategic goals. Good luck with assessing that!
You’re welcome to read the June 30, 2025 Annual Report (it is highly professional and the fat part of 100 pages long), but you will learn next to nothing about the club’s strategic goals, or if/how they align with supporter ambitions. The best you will get is this nebulous double speak…
“The Group’s objective is to be a world-class football club through our strategy and business model for growth and football success focusing on …. football operations with a self-sustaining financial model, relying upon: player trading, player recruitment, creation of Champions League players”.
Back the players. Back MON. Sack the board. Unite the fans (GB included).
NOT ANOTHER PENNY
B2B
Do you reckon that there are some who helped force out the pre-Fergus regime who have never smiled again ? (well I suppose that there is 1 on here !)
Did some tiny group have the ears of the Celtic Support then ? Is that how it worked back then ?
I’m assuming that you think that the currently frustrated large chunk of “decent Celtic fans” are unable to think for themselves ?
The problem the board have is that the longer they show themselves as incompetent and the longer they show complete and utter disdain for the Celtic support in general then it is their actions and their words and not those of some “tiny mob” which will turn more and more fans against them.
