The perfect storm
Selling our best players
Poor manager
No investment
CorkCelt
Farewell guys can’t put up with all the Faithful through and through Supporters telling us about all the matches they are not going to attend. I’m gutted but I will continue to support Celtic, where else would I go.
——
To be fair, it was the faithful true and true fans staying away in the early 90’s that sorted out the shambolic running of our Club.
Lawwell has been in charge at CFC for ten years and had taken us to this level
He should have been sacked after the monumental error in appointing TM….
He must now go and take the amateur fitness fanatics with him
I haven’t seen an ounce of football acumen from our management team …
Rogue
Needs more than Hooper, and to be fair, good chap that he is, he’s not what I have in mind, but looking around our squad, I see little to get excited about, and that’s pretty indictable.
Just back from game. Not disappointed by the outcome but very disappointed at the reaction of some here toward our manager.
He’s to blame for Matthews, Izaguerre, Stokes, Ambrose ya de ya de ya.
He didn’t buy any of them.
He inherited a team of overpaid underachievers.
It will take time (and many casualties) to bring a proper professional athletic culture to our club. He has my support.
Lets all talk again about it in May.
Hail Hail
Well, we’re never a CL team in a million years, so perhaps tonight is a mercy… I really would hate to think what Real would do to us…
Over the 2 legs we can count ourselves unlucky. But tonight we lost it because we lacked a really top class forward, and because we took off our best midfielder at half time (was he injured?)
Steep learning curve for Ronny.
Can’t be tooooo disappointed though, considering we should never have been here, and that EL is much more our level.
Mea culpa
Why ??
Night bhoys…8(
New manager, £11 million in in fees and 0 spend.
Lenny over achieved and PL and JP obviously thought it was down to them.
Just home as I walked it to the international with my bhoy and popped in for a pint as we waited on a taxi.
Met an old friend that got ordained last year whom I travelled with on the mire bus for a few years.
To Any church goers in the Partick area big Stuart is one of the nicest blokes I’ve ever met, sorry but can’t remember which parish he’s in.
Doc, great to meet you again mate, mini Doc didn’t look too happy with you:))
Now as for the game…best I leave it until I cool down a bit.
Went to the game tonight courtesy of some friends. Felt apprehension all over the place. Fans dont believe in this guy!!

How to chase half your fortnightly customers back out the door in one fell swoop.
In any business the CEO would be hunted.
In the past I have been criticised for questioning Celtic record under PL’s stewardship
As I have previously pointed out, some five months prior to him taking over we had been to Seville.
Today’s side would be lucky to get a package holiday to Seville.
As you said, in any other business he would have been hunted long ago.
All you experts pick a team. but …
if Johansen, Mulgrew, Boetrigger, Stokes ever get near a Celtic jersey then we can all chuck it!
If Deila is laughingly manager by October then my season ticket will be upgraded to ‘next to DD’.
FUD!
A guy who got a free pass to the “20million Champions League and FUCKED IT ROYALLY UP!
An unacceptable performance this far from Team, management and board.
If everyone of them resigned tomorrow I wouldn’t shed a tear.
Each have their own embarrassment to look at in the mirror.
Celtic is nothing without the support. Time all at club wrote that done, memorised it and started acting like a football club rather than a play thing to make money from whether they be millions, hundreds of thousands from board room down to dugout or playing field.
Any Luvy on here backing this regime need to take a hard look at just how much they are helping to damage our great club. I’m ashamed to post on here beside you and sit at Celtic Park with you!
MWD says AYE
You could tell the players still haven’t got it. In the first half they were shouting at each other all over the place like they didn’t know where the other was supposed to be.
But for people to be saying RD should go is an absolute short sighted nonsense. He’s just in the door and (maybe naively) is trying to implement a game plan that the players have had time or are able to carry out. We need a striker.
The thing that worries me is that cutting out the full backs, preventing them getting forward, is all that seems to be needed right now to block us.
.
I’m sitting Here thinking..
l know What SydneyTim is sitting there Thinking..
l can Imagine what Charlie Nichols is thinking..
But..
l do Wonder What Peter Lawwell is Sitting there Thinking..
We missed a Experienced Champions League Player in that Team tonight..
Name me a Team in Europe without at the Very Least 2-3 Experienced CL Campaigners in their Team/Squad..?

I’m angry tonight…………can’t believe what I’m sitting near.
Right near me there’s a female about 40. When the 2 balls ended up on the park, she screeched “f%ing d$+*head ballboy”. Thankfully the kid was too far away to hear.
But the worst are two guys nearby, for 70 of the 90 they dished out abuse, vile abuse to Celtic players. It’s surreal as parents sit silent with their children in adjacent areas.
Need to move, as I couldn’t continue to watch Celtic in the area.
Sipsini, she wanted money, I was reluctant:-)
She got it of course.
winning captains 2255:-
That match report that you posted is missing a little something in its analysis.
There is no mention of the fact that Celtic were sent into this match with a selection of strikers whose European goalscoring record totalled 12 goals in 69 games. In other words they very much fail to score more often than not on this stage.
For the record – those 12 goals were scored as follows:-
Berget – 3 goals for Molde in EL qualifiers
Pukki – 7 goals (2 goals v Bangor City for Helsinki in EL qualifiers, 3 goals v Schalke for Helsinki in EL qualfiers, 2 goals v Reykavik in CL qualifiers)
Stokes – 2 goals in EL group stages v Rennes
The real story is why was a new celtic manager not given funds to buy a better standard of striker ahead of a game that could have netted the club £20 million?
The definition of madness is to do the same thing repeatedly and expect different results. The stats tell us that Stokes, Pukki and Berget are almost 7 times more likely not to score in European competition as they are to score. Why were we left with them as our only striking options tonight?
The blame for tonight lies more in the boardroom than in the dressing room.
Why should Deila be given the grace some suggest
His signings are poor….his tactics worse
Talks an interesting game …delivers an appalling one
Angry! angry and frustrated…
…I, like thousands of others have invested thousands of pounds in our club over the years and again, have to witness the people who call the shots turn us into a laughing stock. I’m sick and tired of the club having absolutely no ambition whatsoever, other than grabbing the money from CL participation.
Is that what we are expected to settle for now? no investment and CL cannon fodder, when and if we get there? From what has been an exciting summer at the thought of football played the Celtic way, has turned into nightmare so far. It’s galling.
Gutted!
No the bus
What an idea…tell people who have invested in celtic to go support someone else.
I have invested for 20 years..am I not allowed to voice my opinion.
We have been beaten twice by teams with resources a tenth of ours…this is poor.
But I do not think I am alone in thinking our manager has been very poor.. In tactics and substitutions….
I am an empiricist…We have made a mistake based on what I believe to be his targets..His judgement is poor.
Tonight I believe he was a apalling.
Maribor were a counter attacking team. ..We needed to be tighter… His substitutions made us more open
C.Q.N. pontificates:
Only two men on the Celtic Board.
TGBS
It was Deila who brought in Berget…..all he did was add to the sea of mediocrity
Unnecessary and poor signing
he didnt inherit a team of underacheivers.
he has taken over the scottish laeage champions, a squad who played back to back champions league football.
its testemant to NFL that he got so much out of them.
however, he is clueless how to get anything out of them.
the team again tonight , jeese oh, what was offensive about the first half formation ?
i am convinced he was playing for a draw first half, then a goal in the 2nd,
he was scared after the savaging for legia, and that fear goes into an ultra attack aversive pattern of play. thats what i saw.
he should go, but not on his own.
sack the board, downsize lawell.
Ladies don’t cry yet.U still have a chance to play in CL.Just wait for a UEFA reaction hahaha
Not massively impressed with the support tonight either.
The negativity clearly transmits to the pitch, and players were being berated for simply keeping possession at 0-0 (as opposed presumably to launching it up top, Sevco-style).
If crowds fall so be it. At least the ones still there might make a better job of getting behind the team.
As it is all doom and gloom tonight, I leave with a final thought.
Do we really need to get much worse before we are not certain to cope the the resurrected THEM next season
Doubtless, PL and DD will tell us that it is much needed competition.
Whos Alec Gordon?
We need rangers back.
I love the games against rangers.
Beating rangers was a season highlight for me.
I look forward to them coming back.
Games against the rest were poor in comparison for me.
Just wait till next season or whenever rangers come back- tickets will be like gold dust for the games against them.
Other than CL games these are the games I relish the most.
I know some on here prefer games against Morton or Clyde.
not for me. Give me celtic v rangers any day.
Because this…..this tripe we have at the moment ……..won’t do….
We now have been comprehensively outplayed and beaten by 2 Europa League pot 4 teams.
Downsizing in a nutshell.
Well done DD. Well done to your lackey.

What category of desperation does sticcking Virgil up front represent.
Up like a bird- 1st sensible post of the night!
Still proud to say I support the Hoops.
Seen worse, endured worse and heard worse.
We are were we are through a multitude of reasons. One thing prevails, we go on.
Do you???????????????????????
BT
So that’ll be the problem then the prawn sandwich brigade
Maybe if the Green brigade were in attendance the team wouldn’t have heard every moan and groan from the crowd and wouldn’t have been so nervous or felt the pressure quite so much? Just a thought !
Lawwell OUT
Ronny is only in through the door. Blaming him is short sighted. The strategy has disembowelled our team. No manager given peanuts can do anything with that team.
Stars
You are just after saying that nobody will buy our players cos they are crap.
Yet you want rid of the manager.
Can’t get the head around that one mi amigo.
Lack of investment is why we are out tonight, lack of investment is why Lenny left, players who are not good enough foisted on the manager is why we are out tonight.
THE POLICY NEEDS CHANGED, NOT THE MANAGER.
