  1. Dublin Noelbhoy on

    In the eyes of the football world, In the past week we have been battered 6-1 by spurs and 4-1 and 2-0 by a nothing team. It doesn’t matter that the spurs game was our reserves ( sky never mentioned that ). How much do you think this has set back all the good work done by WGS & Lenny, in making us a respectable champions league team. And also our global brand and ability to attract any decent player to this already dire league. And all for the sake of a few million quid every transfer window to build on what we already had, and replacing the quality that left. Our reputation is in the gutter tonight.

  2. If Ronny D is going to stay, and I don’t think he should, he needs to work on his communication skills.

     

    Whatever the intent of his messages they are coming across very badly, and he needs to remember that when he, intended or otherwise, criticises them in the press, he is talking to both players and fans.

     

    Again, if he stays, he needs a heavyweight PR advisor.

    More likely to get a promising student of PR who can be sold on if successful!

    Echo your comments re the Polish fans, I`ve sat in amongst Lyon fans in a CL game v them in France (tickets bought from a tout) and was treated really well.

     

     

    However, I don but Celtic should not have sold them tickets for the Celtic end.

     

     

    We needed to maximise our home advantage tonight. Get the fans right behind the team. Instead we turned it into as much of home game as Legia will ever experience in Europe.

    There are a new young breed of Celtic supporters who ain’t going to take any more shit now

     

     

    I have noticed this over the last two years

    Sorry my friend, but last year you were saying that Balde would be a player! I admire your patience and faithfulness, but sometimes reality needs to kick in!

     

     

    Ronnie is out his depth and remember what Collins did to the dressing room at Hibs

     

     

    Think we have made a mistake here ( Mowbray mk 2) . Hope I am very very wrong!

     

     

    Happy to eat those servings of humble pie, home cooked of course :-)

  9. Tonight & last weeks debacle lies squarely at the feet of the suits in particular Lawwell & Desmond.

     

    It’s been a while since I’ve seen such anger in the support.

     

    The club has went backwards in true historical Celtic style.

     

    Flog the best assets and fail to invest.

     

    No board lover can spin this farce surely.

     

     

    LAWWELL & co time to go.

     

    CELTIC’s miles worse

     

     

    Totally hacked off

  10. Neganon2, find something positive, I dare you:-)

     

     

    I’m struggling right now, but we have been here before and we will again.

     

    We will also have good days and that is not beyond Ronny and JC. To say it is is simply to be negative for its own sake, we are far too earky in to judge. Ifvthe senior olayers think they know better than the manager hunt them.

    It’s fair enough being critical but there are some right smart arses on here tonight

     

     

    Yep and some of have been predicting this for a long time.

     

    Said it before. Persistent downsizing gathers its own momentum.

     

    Sure we aint got billions to spend. But has what we have spent been well spent.

     

    Tonight of all nights we are entitled to know full circumstances of NL’s departure.

  12. Neganon2

     

     

    I would be grateful if you stopped having stupid digs at me.

     

     

    Your negative emotions are obviously in overdrive so I’ll forgive you and if you can up with a sensible solution the Celtic world awaits.

  13. CRC, I will dine on the same pie if Im wrong.

     

    I gave Balde a chance, I wasnt wrong, just gave him time. His time has been up for some time.

     

    But Ronny deserves some time too.

    ‘The manager was appointed as a cheap yes man. The players NL brought in last year…’

     

    NFL’s appointment was interpreted by both some fans and the SMSM as a cheap ‘yes man’

     

    Delia has had no time and yet some on here are calling for his head. Everyone is entitled to an opinion, but four games?

    For goodness sake let the man make his own signings before you start calling for his head

     

     

    Sorry he will not sign his own players.

     

    He will only sign those that PL lets him.

     

    That is the reality.

  16. Papa John

     

     

    at least you got a wee shot on the trams.

     

     

    It was murder for us watching on Celtic TV!

  17. We’ll have the last laugh – the Europa final is in Warsaw. C’mon the hoops, let’s regroup and make it a season to remember.

  18. Just Another Tim on

    I fear for Ronny Delia. If we lose our EL playoff and have a poor start to the SPL his position will become untenable. Personally, I’m giving him 12 games into the SPL to get this team playing they way he has waxed lyrical about.

     

     

    I so want to believe in him but the last week has shaken my confidence that he is the right man for the job.

  19. Captain Beefheart on

    Give McGregor and Henderson extended runs in the side and promote anybody else who has great potential.

     

     

    Invest. I don’t mind if FF is sold provided we spend all of the income.

     

     

    Give the GB an entire stand. Tell them to keep the political crap away from Celtic Park.

     

     

    Try and get alcohol back and safe standing pronto.

     

     

    Get summer football .

     

     

    Improve the bloody fitness and preparations.

     

     

    All is not lost.

    It is not Deila’s fault that he finds himself in the position of a boy being sent a man’s message.

     

     

    It is time for PL and DD to have a long hard look at themselves and ask if they are up for it.

  21. Captain Beefheart on

    Auldheid,

     

     

    I don’t know why you bother with some of the Victor Meldrews on here.

    I wish I could make an argument against that.

     

     

    JamesGang, I feel your pain.

     

     

    CowieBhoy, of course you will.

  23. Bhoy From The Boyne on

    Folks, question:

     

     

    Does the SPFL champions automatically qualify for UCL next season due to Scotland’s improved co-efficient points due to our UCL qualification over past couple years? I thought I say so media coverage of this last year although I may be mistaken!

  24. Auldheid I have offered a way forward for the club but they don’t care. And you are making excuses for them!

  25. ‘crushed nuts?’ ‘Naw, Layringitis!’

     

     

    NL was a cheap gamble that was partly successful. RD has had little time and less money but a a manager he must have seen that some of hi players weren’t up to the tactics/job he wanted.

     

     

    Very early days but you can’t impose a style of players who aren’t suited to it. Play to you strengths, not your dreams.

    Cheers, for your info, it was a Shambles re the Trams at the first Game, unfortuneatly the Shambles was on the Pitch tonight, Cmon the Trams.

    Invest. I don’t mind if FF is sold provided we spend all of the income.

     

     

    I imagine that last year some, including NL were saying the same about the Hooper and Wanyama money.

     

     

    If we don’t spend on quality when CL money is guaranteed, it aint going to happen now.

     

    Any incoming players will be the dross of the transfer window.

  29. the glorious balance sheet on

    There was nothing in Ronny`s CV that indicated he could get Celtic into European competition. It was the same with Neil Lennon and Tony Mowbray when they were appointed.

     

     

    Never before though have we sent a manager into competition with no new signings. (I refuse to count Berget and Gordon as they are not match fit first team players at present)

     

     

    Gordon Strachan pitched Telfer and Zurawski in against Artmedia (with Boruc signed the day before and on the bench).

     

     

    Tony Mowbray fielded Danny Fox, Fortune and N`Guemo v Dinamo Moscow.

     

     

    Neil Lennon had Charlie Mulgrew, Efrain Juarez, Daryl Murphy, Cha and Joe Ledley signed in time to face Braga (Gary Hooper was signed for the 2nd leg)

     

     

    Why has Ronny been given less support for new signings than any other manager in Celtic`s recent history – especially considering he inherited a squad that broke the record for biggest home and away European defeats in Celtic`s history last season?

    Was talking to a few disillusioned CQNrs tonight … We all agree the blog and the club are in a right bad place .

     

     

    I have my faith in my club … Not so sure about this internet place
