  1. Dallas Dallas where the heck is Dallas on

    We were rubbish tonight apart for a ten minute spell in the second half. Tonight was the culmination of the mistakes of last year’s qualification not being heeded.

     

     

    Legia have showed their lack of class by tweeting football won. They made the mistake.

     

     

    Bourne, I’m with you on the Alex Gordon report. He may have been hurting like us but that’s no excuse for that report.

     

     

    I knew we wouldn’t do it when Derk came on, he may have ability but no heart.

     

     

    The board have a real big job on their hands to get us back. They have done alright in some areas but not where it matters most, on the pitch.

  2. I said before and was lambsted for it.

     

     

    EXIT:

     

     

    FF

     

    VVD

     

    EA

     

     

    and RD and JC.

     

     

    all gone by October.

     

     

     

    Now I was viciously attacked for this but I wonder if the cyber wanker/bullies are still on?

     

     

    BTW is Charlie Mulgrew a captain? Ha fuckin’ ha!

     

     

    He is as good a captain as he is a feckin’ baby sitter.

  3. ....PFayr supports WeeOscar on

    An employee who commences his new employment is such spectacularly poor fashion doesn’t need backing …the employers need to accept they’ve employed the wrong guy and sack him

     

     

    Deila has turned our effective team into a shambles

    Yes.

     

    The key?

     

    He didn`t learn from earlier mistakes.

  5. Oh and increasingly bizarrely and desperately the happy clappers blame the support.

     

     

    I had tens of test tonight from people who took their sons and daughters. All distraught. My own daughter texted m to tell me how awful celtic are. She is 11. Well don PL. Way to go pal. What vision. What strategy?

     

     

    What the feck are you doing?

  6. Eyes Wide Open on

    Guys

     

    I know emotions are pretty high but let’s get some perspective back.

     

     

    How can it be 100% of the managers fault!?

     

     

    If the guy has had 1-2 years with the squad perhaps – he’s had 10 weeks.

     

     

    If it was the guys squad – he influenced 1 player being at the club out of 14.

     

     

    If the guy has had money to spend – he’s the first Celtic manager since who, Jock Stein (?) who hasn’t been given a single penny to spend in his first 10 weeks.

     

     

    The guy publicly said he didn’t want loan signings, someone has given him loan signings.

     

     

    He has publicly said we need a striker since the day he arrived, more recently admitting its a target man, he’s been given nothing.

     

     

    Allegedly he’s said Griffifths is our best striker, in what is surely a ‘you have to be effing kidding me!!’ Type comment.

     

     

    The guy has even had to deal with a total and utter shambolic scheduling of per season friendlies, the postponement of a home league game and vital match fitness due to non footballing reasons.

     

     

    Our previous manager, when told of the nonsense being planned above and who loves Celtic as deeply as every man on here tonight walked out of the club because he wasn’t willing to accept it.

     

     

    There is a consistent within all the above.

     

     

    The consistent is Peter Lawwell.

     

     

    He can stick his ‘we can’t afford to play EPL wages’ repeated statement up his jacksy – we’ve played against 2 foreign teams with a player or 2 who could improve us and wouldn’t fist more than a few million and modest wages.

     

     

    I’m fed up being patronised and spoon fed propaganda that insinuates for every player we enquire about, there’s an EPL club on the other line, in a world full of football clubs and players and less than 100 inward transfers from overseas to the EPL – a significant number of those we must certainly wouldn’t have spent the cost of the phone call on (20m+ transfer fees)

     

     

    However, how much of it is Lawwell and how much of it is Desmond?

     

     

    Personally I think it’s Lawwell, whose ultra smooth and swarve business charms gets a seal of approval from his pay master.

    Ronin, did you TUPE over to Sevco when Rangers were put into liquidation:-)

     

    We lost a game not a club.

     

    To clarify for you TUPE happens when a club gets liquidated, employees can TUPE over to the company that has bought the assests of the defunct Club/company.

     

    It’s part of employment Law.

     

    To clarify that further for you…….

     

    Law, the rules by which civilised societies abide.

     

    Employment is when you do something useful and someone gives you money.

     

    I thought I should add those definitions for you, I doubt you’ve come across them previously.

     

     

    bla bla bla u crying like a small girls,but u must understand 1-6 Legia 1-2 Maribor schould tell u all about ur team. CELSHIT

  8. Beamishismypint on

    Tomorrow many will return to talking about a club that replaced a club that no longer exists and will be happy based on their demise. Meanwhile PL’s £10 million (let’s say £4 million take home pay) @ 4% will earn £258.63 net interest every 24 hours.

  9. Negonon2, we lost a game of football.

     

    Next time I go to CP I’ll still have Celtic.

     

    The Club needs to have a look at what it’s doing, agreed.

     

    The team needs to get on the training ground and work.

  10. Will anyone be held accountable for tonight ? Will there be a change of strategy ? I doubt it.

     

     

    Maybe not tomorrow but soon, P67 will pen an articulate article after a good SPFL win and convince most of us, the strategy is working and these qualifiers just came too soon.

     

     

    That will become the accepted version until next summer, minus VVD we get pumped again in the CL qualifiers.

  11. Neganon

     

    God bless you

     

    I agree we can do better

     

    I used to sit on the sidelines and let you take the flak but I believe you are right.

     

    The only possible difference between us is this.

     

    We have to become a gigantic St Pauli.

     

    A club with a purpose.

     

    Celtic without the fans is nothing. ..I have already noticed the wavering of the younger generation.

     

    Football is Celtic to me…beyond that it is dead

  12. Ronin, we aren’t great on the pitch now, but we have a pulse and will recover, BDO are driving the ole stake through the black heart of dear Ole Rangers FC1872.

     

    Cheats now cheats then, cheats til they died.

     

    But hey Ho, enjoy the gloat.

  13. Jeezus, you mothers are out in force tonight.

     

     

    Do you think the wee clubs accountants will be celebrating their £120k loss tonight?

     

     

    No. Thought not.

     

    BT-where you on TV tonight? Thought I saw you :-)

  14. There was no heart in that Celtic team tonight. A NL selection would have known what to do and seen Maribor off comfortably. There was no shape, no plan, and especially, no playmaker.

     

    Charlie Mulgrew has done as much as he can do for Celtic. Punt him. Derk, Pukki, Stokes, Efe, Izzy,

     

    Take the money for VVD, Commons, and whoever else can be punted. I said Celtic won a watch with Craig Gordon and he showed that tonight.

     

    We keep Lustig, Matthews, Kayal, McGregor, and put the rest on their best behaviour.

     

    Sadly, RD looks an inferior version of BTM.

     

    No tactical nous, and what is John Collins doing if he’s not setting him right?

     

    Check Spain and France for players, and look at the Dutch league as well.

     

    The scouting system needs replaced.

     

    The amount of money wasted on dross is truly frightening.

     

    I was going to open a bottle of wine. I didn’t, because I would have finished it then opened another one.

     

    I hate to say this, but it looks as if RD has destroyed the team’s confidence.

     

    They don’t trust him or his methods, and it shows.

  15. Hello one and all!

     

     

    Well I’m in a wee west end hostelry. Need to head home soonish…..gutted by that performance…..don’t really know where to start on what is not right. I don’t think our new manager should be hung out to dry though. Neil Lennon left so abruptly and the new guy has had to work with what so clearly is not good enough. No real strikers is no real strikers in my book.

     

     

    The other reason for my post is that I was gutted by the mind set of one our fellow supporters who unhappy with one our defence started to talk about climbing trees and eating bananas.

     

     

    Please please please! We are better than this. Don’t tolerate this!

     

     

    Football is important escapism. It is not the be all and end all.

     

     

    Thanks for reading.

  16. Have to get this off my chest guys. I had a season ticket from 1988 until 2002. In 2002 I gave up my ticket, partially due to family circumstances and partially due to ‘ fans ‘ around me shouting abuse at Celtic players and getting into confrontations with these ‘ fans ‘. I renewed my ticket in 2011 but re-allocated. Tonight I faced the same problem. So called supporters, calling Celtic players ‘ useless b******* ‘ and worse. Confrontation again with no resolution. ST bought but thinking of just giving up.
