  1. FAN-A-TIC

     

    No it’s not outdated, nothing like it.

     

    To sight Chelsea, a team where the players gave up on Jose is stretching it a tad, and LvG doesn’t have a scooby, he also doesn’t play 4231.

     

    Agreed all systems are nullified over time, but if you can enlighten me on what system will nullify 4231 I would be delighted to hear it, as would many coaches in the EPL, La Liga, Seri A and many other leagues.

    I heard Bertie auld on shortbread before the game. He is an inspirational guy and speaks beautifully on matters Celtic. He would bleed green and white and is a true legend, both for his exploits on the park and for how we represents our club and relates to the fans.

     

     

    However on the point you make that the Lisbon lions would put any fans concerned at the current state of Celtic to shame, I would take issue with you.

     

     

    These posters you refer to are concerned at the mediocre results and performances being delivered by Celtic. Lisbon lions too have felt such concerns at various points in their lifetime. For example, Billy McNeill freely admits that he wanted to leave Celtic earlier in his career for Tottenham Hotspur as he was so concerned at the mediocrity permeating Celtic and the complacent way the club was being run. It’s all there in his autobiography.

     

     

    Voicing concern at underachievement doesn’t make you any less of a Celt than anyone else. Burying your head in the sand……well that panned out well for the Huns.

    Some of you will no doubt say he who

     

    can’t be mentioned on here will never

     

    come to Scotland,well I say the horrible

     

    self- serving winner would come here win

     

    a treble, hang about for another year torment

     

    the hun and the msm and having restored his

     

    reputation move on.

    … but not to worry ….we caught the two world class criminall masterminds who lit flares in Turkey ….. so everything is okay….

    Italiabhoy – When yr right, yr right…..

     

     

    Philbhoy – How bad does it need tae get?

     

     

    We are a team/club regressing at a rate of knots. I don’t know anyone that doesn’t like our manager. Myself included. But the dugs in the street can see, it aint working.

     

    Recognising that from the stands, barstools and living room couches and saying so, does not a hun make. On the contrary…….

     

    Thanks and best wishes Ronnie…….

    Enjoy your time with your family,mate. They too will occasionally drive you mental,but love is love.

  7. Bertie was in great form on shortbread.

     

     

    He said the lions should have been the first pick Scotland eleven. But them at the sfa could never do that.

     

     

    He doesn’t let it lie.

  8. BOBBY MURDOCH'S CURLED-UP WINKLEPICKERS on

    Blame RD blame the eleven on the pitch blame the fella who has driven the juggernaut for the last decade or more.

     

     

    Your call.

     

     

    I’ll blame the fella who has profited from our demise rather than the fella hung out to dry for it.

     

     

    Ten million GIRUY’s to the support in his time,and he can count his good decisions without taking his socks off.

     

     

    Or his gloves.

  9. BIG-CUP-WINNERS on

    Just back from that.

     

     

    To those wacthing the game, perhaps on tv overseas, you may not discern what this was, a capitulation.

     

     

    When we went behind there was not a “Celtic type” reaction. No fight, no passion…….soul-less.

     

     

    We are lost under this lot. Clueless in the dug-out; aimless in the boardroom. Brown seems to be the only guy who would recognise the fight that Celtic players were instlled with.

     

     

    I know some of you see a vision for Ronny………..he sounds great but he can’t manufacture the reality of what he espouses. Disagree, huh ? Well how fit do our players seem to you ?

     

     

    Today, when they scored their winner we resorted to high ball tactics to the lumbering Cole and dysfunctional Ciftci………..punting the ball……….after we took off our winger of course.

     

     

    A humbling, frustrating and frightening experience.

  10. What is the Stars on

    For all Roony lovers/Defenders etc

     

     

    What would it take for you to lose faith

     

    What would be the straw that breaks the camels back

     

    Do you genuinely believe he is a capable coach or are you just trying to prove what loyal uber fans you are,

     

    Unlike us fickle hun like glory hunters who only want to support a winning team

     

    Football fans all want their team to succeed and like to moan and whinge when they dont.But they dont give up supporting the team

     

    I look in the mirror and I see an intelligent man who supports celtic and can see that Emperor Ronny has no clothes.

     

    NO clothes at all,fast attacking football,super fit athletes… Bulls**t

     

     

    Give him a five year bumper contract now..

     

    What ya think ???

  11. the glorious balance sheet on

    Shortbread saying that Dermot Desmond is flying into Glasgow tomorrow and speculating that its related to Ronny’s position.

     

     

    Probably the great Dessy is probably only coming to town to do an interview bigging up Sevco and their great support and history and spouting forth on how Celtic and Sevco – or rangers as he calls them – will be playing in the EPL in a few years time. Get your jam tomorrow folks!

  12. Ronny burned his last bridge with me after the Molde game at Celtic Park. That night confirmed my suspicions he didn’t have a clue.

     

     

    Its now a case of how far we slide before he’s sacked.

     

     

    Personally I’d take a few more league defeats like today in order to make sure he’s not in the dugout come August.

  13. Catman

     

     

    What’s going down ?

     

     

    Is this what was going to happen Thursday happening now.

  14. Just back from CP, was going to say worst performance of the season but typical performance would probably be closer to the truth.

     

    Three home defeats on the bounce, four home games without a win.

     

    We are a poor team. Amongst the dross and mediocrity of our squad there’s some very good players, unfortunately the manager can’t work out how to get the best from them.

     

    Ronny talks a good game, but his players can’t do what he says. Or is it he can’t get the best out of the players he has? Post match he said we didn’t play at a high enough tempo, yet he picks Bitton, Rogic & Commons, all of whom slow the play down. He says didnt have enough width and played too narrow, yet he takes off the one winger we had and brings on another central midfield player. Is the plan with Allan to ruin confidence and form the same way we have with Armstrong?

     

    Ronny built his Stromgodset team around fast counter attacking football. Celtic don’t play that type of football at CP as the opposition tend to sit in and counter attack us. Our performances are better away from home because teams tend to attack us more (including in Europe this season).

     

    We need to either back the manager and get in the type of players who can play in the style he wants us to play, or get a manager who can get the best out our current squad and work out a way of breaking teams down at CP. Either way, the status quo shouldn’t be an option (although I suspect it will be).

  15. What is the Stars on

    Anyway

     

     

    Happy Christmas to all,

  17. mike in toronto on

    st. stivs … I had asked that question a while ago. He has some good ideas, but is clearly not ready for the number 1 job, but would have been a good no. 2. Unfortunately, I dont think that is an option …. cant see him accepting a step back. And to be fair to the man, very few would.

  18. …..the Fraudster(s), Forty-Ouncers, an’ Flouncers will be stirrin’…………..

     

     

    Obvs.

  19. THE GLORIOUS BALANCE SHEET on 19TH DECEMBER 2015 5:47 PM

    Probably the great Dessy is probably only coming to town to do an interview bigging up Sevco and their great support and history and spouting forth ….(froth)…. on how Celtic and Sevco – or rangers as he calls them – will be playing in the EPL in a few years time.

    Sorted above for you :))

  20. ballymenatoybhoy on

    should have been a more convincing win – I only saw the 2nd half and you have to say it was embarrassing – did the Well keeper even have to make a creditable save? Scott Allen – when he comes on – out on the left – management team can only explain that one – I or no one else I guess can get a head around that one. Celtic are looking too beatable these days – something that won’t have gone unnoticed in Aberdeen or Edinburgh – thats not good – it won’t be a won at a canter if it all – thats for sure! Yes the Griff was missing but then he could have a few one-off-days along the way al la Ajax – the best of the majestic & maverick SB is now playing like a faded 45 and JF continues to ebb and flow – when he is actually on the park! CM is crocked and decent player as he is he is no game-changer! I chose to go with RD but taking that 2nd half in today you have to really ask “where is the progress?”. It’s simply not there! Ahh the winds of change! That could be a little while off – after all we are Celtic! Sorry Cesar if you were exposed to that today – you didn’t deserve that!

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

    On a day when the club reveal the statue of our greatest ever captain of think the lack of fight and drive was terrible.

     

     

    Late in the game we could all see that our youngest player was dead on his feet – he passed the ball on the half way line to calum m . No one within 20 yards of him as well dropped back.

     

     

    Mcgregot gives it back to keiron and points to the box … KeiRon heaves it in and Nada again

     

     

    I really don’t see anything in cole … forresr can go in the summer . Kris commons was terrible today.

     

     

    Watching celtic putting our centre half up for the last 10 mins and then our keeper in their box for 2 corners. …. deary me is this what we have become

     

     

    Ronny . No point sacking him unless Desmond has a better replacement lined up

  22. Nye Bevans' rebel soldier on

    The Spirit of Arthur Lee…..it’s amazing what some

     

    people will do to escape justice,

  23. The Glorious Balance Sheet,

     

     

    In agreement of your analysis. Ronny is finished. We are in a sorry state.

     

     

    If Dermot wants to drive change he should start with the architect of Celtics demise…..Mr Lawwell.

     

     

    Lawwell and Ronny must be kicked out now.

  24. Just back in from the game. Absolutely dire and can’t see it getting better anytime soon . Ronny refuses to change same tactics same playing players out of position same poor passing losing possession . Scott McDonald bullied our back four all game while our lone striker toiled big time. His refusal to change is going to cost him his job .

  25. mike in toronto on

    TSAL / NBRS … none of us are all good … some of us are bad…. and some are, unfortunately, just evil For me, Janner was in the last category.

    Soal

     

     

    Great news but sickened they managed to avoid court and the Bassa never served a day in gaol

     

     

    Rot in hell janner
