With a depleted squad against all conquering Livingston we achieved a draw.
Is that a turning point?
And WHO WILL BE AVAILABLE AGAINST LIVI on Wednesday?
Next season’s training camp should be in the new middle East holiday destination – Saudi
No drinking by the pool there.🥵
—
seen the saudi holiday advert on the telly earlier.
but you can drink at the pool in saudi
you just wont be able to play pool after the saudis catch you at it
🖐🪓 🎱❌
I think that it’s difficult generally speaking for fringe players to make any real difference without a run of games under their belts, you’d think that if we had any sort of identity in how we play throughout the club it might have been easier.
We are a cluster f*ck of a club now, no identity, structure, fitness, professionalism worth mentioning but most galling are the lemmings in charge. Replacing PL with another puppet whilst won’t change much might give the support a boost, replacing the manager would definitely give the support and the team a boost, tbh at 53 I think I will have had both doses f the vaccine before we see any change in our club. There’s little point in us recruiting any players this window new manager or not.

ah ha , you have now seen sense.
I gave up weeks ago, but never thought it would get this bad,I can remember when Sean Fallon was in charge for a season, or early 90s with Brady…….it’s getting worse by the day
Physically weak all over the park , is there a weights room at Lennoxtown, upper body strength missing in most of the squad, bullied all season .

i think we scout the wrong type of players from a younger age
our scouts see these wee fast tricky midfielders and wingers at under 12 school games and think they will turn out to be world beaters
but when they turn 21 they are still wee fast tricky midfielders and wingers but get skelpt off the ball by every opponent so are useless
if mikey johnston and david turnbull played in the same under 12 team i bet our scout would have come away raving about mikey
but who would you rather have in our first team now?
change the scouting philosophy if we are to compete at a decent level

Plucky Celtic youngsters hold the in-form Livi to a creditable draw – discuss

What was the average age of our team today ?
Let’s all
And don’t let them catch you with rosary beads

Ok plucky Celtic hold …..
Time for a hobgoblin gold
in you can do a step over you’re in.
we were very lucky to get a point today.
There have been 39 seasons where Celtic finished 3rd or below.
This is no where near the worst times I have had supporting Celtic.
On the subject of Tom at centre forward – absolutely agree it is akin to Calmac at left back, or MJ at centre forward, or any number of midfielders who have taken the defence / centre back slots recently – all truly crap management decisions.
None of these were opinions with the benefit of hindsight.
Most fans, when they see these stupid personnel and positional decisions, call them out before the game kicks-off. Me and WeeBGFC were saying TR upfront was nuts before the game kicked off today – I’m sure nearly everyone else was too. Same in those other cases.
Yet our professional management team seem not to see what us amateur supporters can plainly see – they are rotten, daft, nonsensical decisions – and so it almost always transpires.
Similar theme – those claiming that people only thought the Dubai trip was wrong only after the team came back and had to self-isolate – that’s bollocks. I never heard anyone saying this was a good idea – not necessarily because they predicted infections / close contacts – but just because, in all the circumstances we are all in, it was simply and plainly wrong.
Time and time again, the management-level decision making at the club is absolutely, shockingly bad.
Who can save us? Not the current CEO – he’s now part of the problem, not the solution. Not the manager and coaches, and football personnel people – the woeful performances from them is there for all to see this season. Not the Chairman – completely empty jersey – vacant.
Who are we left with? Dermot Desmond. That’s our sole hope for positive change just now.
That is a truly worrying over-dependance on a single, often absentee, major shareholder.
Not where we thought we would end up when the Rebels finally won.
HH
BGFC
A positive
Once he settled, Anthony Ralston done ok
I will repeat though,
We were missing our front line today,
But
We had 8 first regulars in the team
A professional club should cope with this
A known structure and playing style
We are all over the place, dependant on moments of magic from players
Abysmal, absolutely abysmal
A huge financial and playing squad, been thrown away

What was the average age of our team today ?
25 years old…..
c’mon john higgins
How many of today’s team will play Wednesday – not forgetting the dirty dozen haven’t trained for 10 days and before that were poolside.
There have been 39 seasons where Celtic finished 3rd or below.
This is no where near the worst times I have had supporting Celtic.

but how many of them have been gradual declines into pishdom
compared to totally unacceptable negligence on behalf of those in charge?
Saint stivs – started going to games regularly in 63 so have seen some poor sides. If cqn had been around then I’d probably have chucked it 🤔
Gene,
Hazard 22 yrs.
Ralston 22 yrs
Bitton 29 yrs
Duffy 29 yrs
Laxalt 27 yrs
Soro 22 yrs
McGregor 27 yrs
Fimpong 20 yrs
Turnbull 21 yrs
Rogic 28 yrs
Johnston 21 yrs.
Not a teenager amongst the starting 11 and a not so young average age.
HH.
Big Wavy,
Cheers.
Let’s all
Since we were probably the second biggest club in Scotland for most of those seasons you could put it down to negligence on behalf of those in charge.
Not forgetting the mibs
Greenpinata
You know I was only kidding 😃
Absolutely Gene, but we cannot say we played a young team.
Here’s one for you to sus out :- What was the average of the Livingston team ?
Cheers and HH.
if you look at martin oneills celtic team – they were good players that could all look after themselves on the pitch and wouldnt be bullied
thats the model we need to get back to
not all these wee boys running about the park but falling over when it gets windy
GENE
Griffiths and Ajeti will still be unfit
And as I’m in research mode , they had 169 international caps between them and the rest played at U21 for their country.
And of ‘probably’ our managers’ first 11 currently I would summise we had : Hazard, Laxalt, Duffy, Soro, Laxalt, McGregor, Frimpong, Turnbull and probably Rogic. Bitton and Johnston definitely first team material.
Not sure the hard luck, plucky youngsters story lands well with me given above.
HH
Great comment during the Fulham v Chelsea game :-
A mega thanks to the players for keeping the morale up of a sporting loving nation.
Totally agree.

———–
How many of those seasons were we the club with the biggest budget and supposely the best squad?
Not that I’m saying this is the worst of times, as there’s too many other factors to take into consideration but this season has been a very low point.
Big Wavy,
Agreed.
As you’re in research more.
Average age of the Livingston team?
Cheers.

and a mega ‘ya fkin bawbag’ to Giroud who missed a great chance to win my first scorer bet 🤬🤬🤬
Leftfield gossip — big name manager has been in touch recently.
Out of work but with a big reputation — wanted to get involved as he like the club and the challenge.
Offered to give 18 months to the cause and then it could be reviewed.
We put the CV in a drawer.
He has moved on.
Even more leftfield gossip.
The figure of £60K in used twenties keeps coming up.
Not sure what this is or what direction it travels in.
