Good morning all from a balmy 10 degree rain soked Garngad.
Getting to yes – So what am I accused of?
If its telling the truth (which it is) I make no apology.
I give 100% backing when I am at the game. No less.
But if you cannot see our board are cheats and Liars.
(And watch us let Huns back into Celtic Park as that’s the next little folly from our Hun loving criminals).
If you cannot see what’s unfolding in front of your eyes then you are either complicit or naive.
Remember someone brought BR back and there must have been promise of building and some quality as he said “I want to progress in europe” ffs we will be lucky to get a European league spot.
The whole club is an utter embarrassment and everyone running this shit show needs to go.

Fans are not stupid.
There are two opposite trains of thought for giving unconditional support.
To cheer ,clap and support when you know what you are watching is poor and boring is maybe deemed as hypocritical.
It gives comfort and a green light to those at the top to maintain the status quo.
The other view is to register your unhappiness and show the powers at the top that our managed decline must stop. Let them know that we can and should be doing better and our massive financial advantage must be prudently used to build the team in a positive way.
Change is never easy.

Mismanagement off the radar, will likely cause us to lose the league. The main culprits are, he who can do no wrong P. Lawwell, his probably sacrificial lamb M. Lawwell, the invisible CEO M. Nicholson and he who had power that he shouldn’t D. Desmond.
I thought some weeks ago that we wouldn’t win the league but one thing we can’t do, is throw in the towel. I think we need something radical to give us any chance. Go 352. We lose too many balls in the air, play three CBs. We’re playing two wingers every game, stop doing it. Go with two up front, whether it’s Kyogo and Maeda or Kyogo and idah. Have more physicality in midfield with a third proper midfielder, whether that’s Bernardo’s or Iwata or even Holm. Options for the supposed wing back roles, would be limited, but would go with Ralston and Taylor just now.

As a result of us (Celtic supporters) buying into this negativity who in this young team do we think we are improving and helping?
——-
Celtic supporters haven’t bought anything from the media. Opinions have been formed by what we’ve watched – for many weeks now. When concerns were raised we were called bed wetters by our own. Now, justifiably, there’s an anger. Anger that those that are so handsomely paid to run our club are so dismissive of the threats posed to it. Anger about the stench of nepotism that sees family members of the executive being handed jobs for which they are demonstrably not good at.
Ultimately this play out as it will and it doesn’t matter if there’s people on here saying the league is done or saying we will win it.
I think we’ll be 7 or 8 points behind come Ibrox and hope that we can pull the cup out of the bag to prevent a hun treble.
That opinion won’t alter the outcome. Things will play out as they will.

CQN malcontent – I’m not happy that we were papped out the league Cup, finished bottom of our European group and are now 2 points behind sevco in the league. I do not feel we have managed the transition from Ange to Brendan and backed the new gaffer in the transfer market
CQN happy clapper – ah see, that’s the problem. You’ll believe anything you read in the media. They are no friends of Celtic. This is a period of unimagined success and domination. Actually, i think you may be a hun.

Lastro games Hertz have taken 8 points more than us. Tynecastle could be the place we are put out our misery.
There is no doubt that the excitement level has dropped from Ange’s team to Brendan’s. It is definitely a harder watch. When it clicks, as in the first half at Pittodrie recently, it CAN be a good watch but, as Bigchipsuk said, it is not producing goals, even then.
Now, there was a lot of criticism of Ange’s final 6 month period too. Despite the stats remaining good, lots of critical comment on the blog that he was “getting found out” by other Scottish managers. Spurs fans are beginning to say the same thing because, despite a pleasing style, they still look like finishing 4th or 5th or 6th. Unsurprisingly, in my opinion, given his lack of spend compared to other clubs in EPL. He is still working miracles in my opinion.
But, remember last year’s criticism here. We are “too open”, we “get away” with it at SPFL level but “get cut open” in Europe. We got what we wished for- a coach who used to be like Ange but had learned his lessons about being too open. Only problem was, he had been here before and walked away from a Soap Opera of dissent that we had scripted for ourselves about the inner workings of CP and Lennoxtown.
We got a more cautious “Elite” coach and now we don’t like that either.
I don’t buy into the cliched criticisms of football managers
past it style of coaching
No Plan B
Been Found Out
Reactive not Proactive
but there is one thing that has been found out, and opposition coaches have told us this for many years now. It applies to Ibrox as much as Celtic Park and even to other clubs’ fans when they are in a league position lower than they thought they should be.
and that is- the ground becomes nervous and critical and we harm our team.
Now- I am not blaming the fans for our demise. The away fans have been generally more vocal and supportive than the home crowd but we have the same nervousness problem home and away. I am not asking for the impossible. I don’t think this critical set of fans, at the game (not on blogs which make not a blind bit of difference) is going to disappear any time soon. The team will have to learn to live with it.
The only way out of this recent slump is for the coaching team and players to step up and give us some solid wins. That will reduce the negativity, but not eliminate it, in this nervous run in to the title. Some players have carried us at different times this season. Matt O’Riley with increased goals and assists, Liam Scales with a miraculous season, Callum with regular drive and consistency and , recently, Joe Hart with some bail outs. It’s time for some others to step up, notably Kyogo and his providers of chances.
If that happens, the gloomy forecasts go away. if not there, will be relentless “I told you so’s. for the 2nd time in 13 years.
Aff oot to the dentist now. Life sucks, eh?

I think they’re next two games is Hearts and Killie. If they come through those with 6 points, we’re looking at us having to be near perfect to win the league.

The players along with the coach and his assistants can have all the meetings they like ,nothing will come off them ,the players and the management team are not good enough,they need to be replaced probably in the summer,and for god sake no ex player managers to be picked as the next head coach and coaches.

Agreed.
And, unpalatable as it may sound, on match day, to get that recovery moving, perhaps we need to ask what we can do for the team, not what the team can do for us.
We have the power to lift them … even if our instinct is to groan, feel disaffected or dissatisfied.

Are interim results being held up by finalising CBC settlements? I think yes!
We should start a Crowd Fund, to pay off Brendan.!!!!!
I will not be convinced otherwise, but there is an agreement that huns will win the league, to keep the “Auld Firm” out there, money, money money.
Seriously pissed off
KINGLuBO
lets all do the huddle on
I think they’re being held up because we are about to announce a space exploration programme based on the trajectory of Dixie Dean’s penalty v Inter.
Any other rocket suggestions?

I agree. Not sure if three is the way to go but something has to change. I’m afraid we are in the same situation as we were in the ten season, neither manager or board are willing to do anything resulting in the inevitable result.
Sadly I can only see a very poor outcome for us with everyone at the club equally sharing the blame whilst the real structural problems are unresolved.
Is anyone at the club brave enough to make the changes? I doubt it very much.
Does anyone believe we’ll be planning for next season?
Don’t be silly Timmy7_noted, don’t worry about a thing just buy your tickets and leave the rest to your betters.

football team it is unthinkable not to mention the significant others who are contributing to this unfolding car crash of a season.

Interim results being held up.
Those holding them up will have a reason.
That reason may be reasonable but, equally, it may not.
Those waiting for them are waiting for them for a reason.
Their reasons may be reasonable but, equally, they may not.
I’m a fan (short for fanatic), a supporter, a season ticket holder, a shareholder, and a customer … in that order.
Right now, during this difficult and critical phase of the season, I couldn’t care less about the interims.
C’mon the hoops.
