  1. Is anyone surprised to see that the big Serb has a connection to that team in Israel we signed Efe from?

     

    That agent must be creaming it in along with PL.

     

    No imagination.

     

    No foresight.

     

    No hope

  2. Well Im not a happy bunny tonight, however life goes on. Wondering why Kayal who I thought was having a good game came off at HT and Charlie stayed on. But Iim not the manager and hopefully he will turn the team round.

    We missed Brown right enough. But we still wouldn’t have had a cutting edge if was playing.

     

     

    Some three years now since NL started preaching the gospel of a big physical line leader.

     

     

    He might as well have gone chasing moonbeams and lighting penny candles from a star.

  4. PL getting peltetrs but he’s DD’s poodle.

     

     

    WTF is DD’s game???? He’s a feckin BILLIONAIRE. FFS put your hand in your deep pockets or piss off.

     

     

    Interested to hear Paul’s take on this one

  5. Our problems are fundamental. Winning against dross in the SPFL should not blind us to the fact we’re awful. We continually fall apart when pressed. A total clear out now. We will win the league but should get rid of 5-8 players, bring more in and promote youth players.

  6. Snake Plissken on

    Stand by my initial comments – Deila gets to Halloween.

     

     

     

    After that it is changing time

  7. eddieinkirkmichael on

    Faithful through an through, my arse. Some on this site are no better than ………………………..

  8. First 20 mins of 2nd half, we were on top… So must score, but didn’t.

     

    However when the margins of quality between us and Maribor were so fine, it is individuals like Ambrose, who badly let us down yet again

  9. the long wait is over on

    Tonight told us nothing we didn’t already know. Too many mediocre players and the harsh realities of buying cheap in the transfer market coming home to roost.

     

     

    Pass marks only for Gordon, VVD, Mcgregor, Commons and Lustig and on balance for Johansen. The rest not good enough , especially Boerrigter. Utterly hopeless.

     

     

    Cannot for the life of me understand why RD made changes after 20 minutes of the second half when we were on top. Completely deflated the team.

     

     

    Also hugely disappointed that when they scored not a single Celtic player looked like they believed we could come back. Not enough fight at all.

     

     

    All in all we’re lucky to even be in the EL.

    Ernie, cutting edges are created by midfield mastery and we did not have that this evening. Ergo, Brown would have helped to achieve that IMO.

  11. Eyes Wide Open

     

     

    Appreciate it and it’s with a heavy heart and I mean that, Peter Lawwell is destroying the Celtic team, we were Desperate for a Striker (as a minimum) as was shown against Legia but despite bringing in £11.2 million for Forster and Watt he failed to do anything about it, we’re replacing quality with punts (loans) and be assured if a £4 million bid comes in for McGregor tomorrow he’ll be away and that’s what we have running the club unfortunately, no ambition it’s all about money.

     

     

    Oh and yes I like the idea of try before you buy (loans) but it doesn’t mean we’ll sign them, Craig Bellamy wanted to stay but we couldn’t afford him or wouldn’t pay what he was worth.

     

     

    Chris Sutton nailed it on Saturday and he speaks the truth even if the blind and deluded on this site want to dismiss him.

  12. What is the Stars on

    Long hard season ahead. Maybe that dundee United result was a blip. Ronny out. Why did maribor not tire in the last 15 minutes by the way

  13. Sometimes its better to hit rockbottom and rebuild from there. I’m gutted, players have left us and themselves down, there is a huge question mark over the Manager. However one thing I am certain about is we will recover. Any Hurtin Huns on please note this is a temporary setback, we will recover.

  14. timbhoy in spain on

    ronin, say what ye like tosser.

     

    Why don’t ye go & support yer own team somewhere else.

     

    I mean they beat the stalwart QP 2-1 the night ya dug

  15. Blind loyalty….hope that works out for all you clappers.

     

    Seriously, you will accept any old s***** that is served up to you.

     

    Terrified to rock the boat, happy to be at the back of the bus.

     

    Bootlicking and doffing the cap to Big Peter.

     

    You clappers have played a big part in our downward spiral….you will accept anything.

     

    Pathetic.

    just home, maribor fans hooligans.

     

    no policing stewards, I’ll be on phone to Celtic tomorrow. Kids of 14 15 and 16 being pelted by seats, she also said there was a few fans shouting at lawell outside the main door…

     

     

    I was home 40 minutes ago…

  17. Beamishismypint on

    corkcelt

     

     

    Who exactly do you think is going to fund the rebuilding. RD new Celtic manager. Two shots at CL and a net spend of minus £11 million.

  18. night night bhoys

     

     

    thanks for getting me through tonight. I’m sure I’ll need it tomorrow. That was a dreadful mess.

    Yeah that’s the way forward, no plan just get a sugar daddy. Wh

     

    En did you get your PHD?

  20. Som mes que un club on

    My thoughts.

     

     

    RD really needs a reality check.

     

     

    My first impressions were PL and DD would get it.

     

     

    Lack of striker etc

     

     

    Manager was 100% At fault tonight.

  21. Marrakesh Express on

    Beaten by a better team, a club with 7000 crowds and a turnover same as Dundee Utd.

     

    Something’s badly wrong.

  22. What is the Stars on

    Depends what you mean by recover corkie. We have squandered great opportunities over the last 2 years by failing to invest properly in the team. It might take us longer than you think to get back to champions league again

  23. Our bus home is morgue like.

     

    Akin to when we lost the title at Fir Park.

     

    Scunnered don’t cover it

  24. to those that are blaming the players and saying we must stand by the manager and give him time i ask this one question…………..

     

     

    we were well on top for the first 20-25 mins of the 2nd half, we were the only team that looked like scoring, why did RD change it when we were looking good not just to win on the night but on aggregate.? all we had to do was carry on as we were and if we didn’t score then shut up shop for the last 10 mins

  25. Celtic manager Ronny Deila speaking after tonight’s loss to NK Maribor: “I think the first half wasn’t good enough.”

     

     

    RD: “In the end there is only one thing and that is we were not good enough. We were a little frightened.” (MD)

     

     

    RD: “We lifted ourselves in the second half but they scored with their first chance. This is a hard feeling. There are no excuses.”

     

     

    RD: “I understand the fans’ anger. We haven’t been good enough.” (MD)

     

    RD: “We want to be in the UCL but Europa League is a good competition.” (MD)

     

    RD: “We could have two new signings for Monday.” (MD)

     

    RD: “I think we are better now than in Legia but when you have chances and you don’t take them there are no excuses.” (MD)

    BOBBY MURDOCH’S CURLED-UP WINKLEPICKERS

     

     

    Sanitise the support ?

     

     

    Muffling them tonight would have been an idea. I’ve made a mistake in relocating to the North Stand lower. Tonight from the off, most were on edge screeching at the least mistake. Some of the abuse dished out from these vile cretins was beyond belief. Normally we provide a surge of power, not tonight, not by a long way.

     

     

    Yes it’s frustrating, yes the club have failed to provide the goalscorers, but tonight it wasn’t just Lawwell, it wasn’t the tactics, nor the manager and it wasn’t the players. It was the whole club that failed.

    Haha let Ronin play in the big playground.

     

     

    When your diet is Airdrie and Clyde it must be nice to rub shoulders with the big boys on European nights.

     

     

    ====

     

     

    Eh, since when did Legia play in the same league as Airdrie and Clyde?

     

     

    He is a Polish troll. Duh.

     

     

    too much obsession (still) with the Huns.

     

     

    They are dead. Haven’t you noticed?

  28. I’m as pissed off as all of you’s. But blaming the manager( who’s been in the job 7 weeks premature springs to mind) give the guy a chance. He’s inherited a team of guys not up to the job. Stokes,Mulgrew,Izaguirre, Ambrose(centre back), Commons (needs the right players around him) Balde etc just know right for the club. I think it’s a blessing in disguise. We’d get humped in the champions league by nearly all the teams in it.

  29. TBJ says Wee Oscar Knox is in heaven with the angels on

    BT

     

     

    At half time the Maribor fans at the front of their section all ran up stand to attack Celtic fans in their top corner

     

     

    Instead of plod and the stewards evicting them they finally escorted them back down to their original area where they wAtched them throw seats at the family section

  30. Ronny could turn us in to a decent Swedish standard team…just needs to get rid of McGregor, VVD, Craig Gordon and Commons….

  31. Just in and not read back

     

     

    Absolutely Gutted,

     

    who out there would believe we spend nearly £40m a season on our Football dept

     

     

    One positive, we may improve our coefficient in the Europa Cup, you get the same points for wins and draws as you do in the Big one, where we would have been humiliated, Sad but True

  32. RD: “I think we are better now than in Legia but when you have chances and you don’t take them there are no excuses.” (MD)

     

     

    This is the best joke at this night.Ur manager lives in his own world hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha

    ———————————

     

    legia are not our enemy

     

    We felt sorry for your fans

     

    But the way the club behaved

     

    Afterwards was embarrassing
