Pfayr
It’s very easy to tell Lenny’s signings from PL’s. All our manager’s choices were resounding successes while all TSSM’s were abject failures.
PFayr, I am a glass half full person. I also trust folk. I trust the Auldheids of this world who put some of your concerns to the test.
As usual I expect Celtic to quietly make their concerns known on Dougie Dougie, Ogilvie etc. I also think it is a disgrace that the SFA think it is ok to promote the son of a disgraced former ref. He will have an undeniable agenda. Even if the boy doesn’t and for some reason he is whiter than white surely it’s not fair in the boy to eventualy pitch him in to ref a Celtic game. It makes no sense.
The referees should be set up as a separate body to the SFA – outsourced if you like and should provide a service. Clubs should then be able to give feedback to the service provider to tell them how they perform and tell them what improvements they would like to see. It is our product. We are the paying customer. We should be feeding these thoughts to the shareholders at our clubs in order that these ideas are put to the SFA and SPFL boards. Put the ref service out to tender and make it impartial.
The signing policy is not great. I agree. Mind you our scouting of forwards has been woeful. Bangura, Rassmussen, Balde, Pukki all bought for our top money and all of them failures. Hooper granted but Neil Lennon seems to have watched him and demanded him just as he did with Wilson. Maybe the hand off from John Park and now Peter Houston to Neil needs more work. Could Neil have watched Bangura, Rassmussen, Balde and Pukki more before we signed him and he gave up on them? Pukki seems to be getting more of his time but he will soon give up and go back to Peter Lawell and need to justify why this hasn’t worked. Paul 67 seems to hint that we need to dig the players up before the like of Herenveeren and Schalke etc. I agree and we seem to have done this with the Icelandic lad. Hpwever, maybe Neil needs to go and watch a real striker to remind him what one looks like before he goes and watches another candidate our scouts have put him on to. Go and watch Suarez and then look for someone with 3 zeros less on his price tag who might one day do what he does.
The football is not negative, I would say it is pragmatic and played on percentages. Don’t give the ball away is the first premise. However, I wonder if we need to play like that in order that we get used to it for the Champions League. We are clearly not good enough to go into the Champions League and play open football. We need to stick to the simple pass and not have midfielders going ahead of the ball. I would say we have been more negative in the last 3 games than we had been against Juve, AC Milan and Ajax away. If it is the case that we need to play with one style in order to get the practice in for the Champions League then Neil needs to come out and talk about this. Aye players look leggy and tired but only because they are lethargic.
Lastly , I don’t see us being profit obsessed. I see us being pragmatic but that pragmatism can deliver more and particularly an effing striker.

Weefra, do you really want only positive, happy-go-lucky posters on here? How boring! Debate is healthy, without it you have complacency and that surely is unhealthy. Guys like MadMitch and KevJ are kinda negative at times (well, most of the time) but I prefer to read their posts rather than other happy clapper types. Question: which Celtic player at the present time excites and could be called ‘bums on seats’ player?
Notthebus
I don’t know …that is all I suggested
Others assert their beliefs as fact …I was merely pointing that out
My goodness just seen Draper of ICT got sent of for using his elbow
How come he gets to use them against Us ?
Has he been summoned by Lunny yet for assaulting the ref in game against us
Hail Hail
Watching sportscene (broken resolution already). McLean commentating on ICT v Ross County. He was at Parkhead yesterday. BBC are amateurs doing a disservice to Scottish football.
That Draper that got sent off in the Caley v Ross game was it him that shoved the ref on his derry v us?

CFC quietly making their concerns known is a euphemism for their inaction

Frankly , you cannot comment with any certainty ….neither can I for that matter
100% in agreement! struggle with others can constantly blame PL for all our signings :-)
Hail Hail

most of our current players would do better with their bum on the seat

I assume a decimal point has been omitted from the Sammi to Arsenal tweet?
Wow!
Some camerawork at the Hibs game. They cunningly manage to mask the capacity crowd. Can’t have people thinking Armageddon has been avoided. How hard must it have been to edit the crowd out of the highlights.
………and then they manage it again at the New Firm derby just to show that it wasn’t a fluke.

“You are easily pleased.
And you are permanently disgruntled. Now that we have the barbs out of the way, let’s look at the substantive points.
We have just had a shambolic Summer 2013 transfer window.
And it came on the back of our 3rd qualification for the last 16. You may have missed it because you were not posting at that time, lest your posts got lost in the welter of congratulations we were receiving from last year’s mineshafters apologising for the failure of their armageddon predictions to come true then. You seem to feel you have more fertile soil now that we have had a poorish Euro campaign. One bad campaign out of 4 was enough to get rid of WGS, so it should do for Neil too, eh?
We would rather double up on our CEO’s salary than pay the living wage.
This is a point that cuts across the mineshafter/ happyclapper divide so is irrelevant to our debate. I favour the Living Wage and I favour board members and executives being paid and “bonused” at more realistic levels. However, I also recognise that, though it would be good to do this, it would make minimal difference to our finances for football.
We have been put out of Europe after a series of poor team selections and poor performances.
I don’t know if your selections would have been any better because, let’s face it, nobody sane would let you or me pick a pro football team.
Yes, there were poor results and poor performances. The first 70 minutes away to AC was amongst the best performances I have seen from a Celtic squad in Europe, but it earned nothing for us.
We have a series of projects, time wasters and non entities trying out for “Centre Forward Imposter of the Week”.
We have a “Shadow” midfield wasting away in the stand every week.
We have more unfit, poorly conditioned players waiting for their next muscle strain.
Yep, in common with every football club in the world, at any level, there are a number of transfer mistakes warming the bench or awaiting a move. In common with every club in the modern game, we have a lengthy injury list as players seek to protect their playing career and future health. And, in common with every football blog on the planet, we have posters criticising for wrong buys, bizarre subs, no plan B, lost the dressing room, need to buy big, etc; etc;
Mind you, credit where it’s due, divining that our problem was the lack of a suitable sized expensive white elephant stadium for our reserve team, was a unique insight that I have only seen offered on here by yourself.
Oh yes but no worries the TFOD2 tribute act are always worth a chuckle.
Get real — PL and the board are phoning it in.
Quite right. Why would I want to laugh at a rival club when I could enjoy slagging my own? Silly me.
Restrict the criticism to PL should get a pay and bonus cut and I will be 100% behind you. All the rest did not impress but there were fewer initials to decipher. :-)

Weefra,
You voice much of my feelings. Please don’t stop posting. The begrudgers don’t know they’re living.
I get so aggravated by some, supposed, supporters on here. To my mind, if your not happy, go elsewhere. This is not rocket science. When I stop supporting Celtic, I will stop buying my ST. (Probably on my death) Until that time, hopefully later than sooner, I will continue to follow the greatest Team on the planet. We all have a free will, either buy into it, or leave. It’s not really that difficult. Or is it? Simple things seem to confuse simple minds. :)
Weefra HH supporting Wee Oscar.
Silver City 1888,
I have made a wee line of demarcation between what you might term as a Lenny signing and a Lawwel signing above.
I believe from the quotes I have read that Neil Lennon identified and scouted Gary Hooper. John Park may well have agreed with him but quotes I have read indicate Neil Lennon saw him while he was with Forrest.
However, I have also read quotes from Neil Lennon where he has said that the scouts identify the players and they then narrow a list down until they identify a number of targets. Peter Lawell and others then negotiate. Some from the list are signed others are not.
So who from the list below did Peter Lawwel scout and foist on Neil Lennon?
Wanyama
Hooper
Ledley
Forster
Izzy
Kayal
Van Dijk
Ambrose
Mulgrew
Boerigter
Pukki

I think we should take the £7.5 mil on offer from Arsenal for Pukki it’s good business
Mullet
I disagree with your comments almost entirely
If you were seeking to convince me you’ve failed
The football is outrageously boring and the board incapable or unwilling to defend the club and supporters in the media , SFA or any other forum for that matter
I rest my case. We are nothing without them, according to BBC Sevco.

“You’re being a drama queen. Honest debate is healthy. Celtic are shit at the moment by my standards.”
I would see a drama queen as someone who veers between emotional extremes. I wonder whose lighthouse thinking that best reflects.
Honest debate is healthy- agreed. Celtic are shit is just insulting rubbish disguised as constructive(?) criticism. it is the kind of point that a Sevco fan would delight in making on here. That is not an accusation against you, just an illustration of the comfort that can be unwittingly given.
I am off out on a taxi run- will catch replies later.
PFayr, I am happy to wait a while and see.
Night all. Night wee Oscar my hero. God bless x
Weefra
Thank you for asking…This time of the year aint exactly my favourite . Glad to work most of it.
Glad to watch the hoops.. me and my son loved them so much and I go as much for him.
Great were winning every game…would be amazing if we could emulate the Tyne castle and fir park performances again. .. it will come again.
Hows your mum
weefrathetim
The guys are entitled to an opinion.
Your points are equally valid, but can I ask that you refrain from telling Celtic supporters “if your not happy, go elsewhere” and the like.
We are stronger together a bond that has seen us through many bad times as you have evidenced.
HAIL-HAIL
BIG CUP WINNERS.
I’d be sorry to lose either of them.
But Arsenal could do with them both!
Says on news peelers are preparing to evacuate large parts of east belfast due to a tidal surge
Couple of bhoys from Short Strand post on here hope they are all OK and don’t get their homes flooded

Is it coincidence, that you never mention, once, that these guys are Celtic supporters. They are welcome to their opinion, but to attempt to convince Celtic Supporters to stop supporting the Team…….. Sacrilege. No response is necessary as I am now in exile. While praying for Wee Oscar.

I sincerely hope you are correct
According to the Daily Racist (clears throat) Celtic and Hull are going to test Sunderlands resolve to keep Steven Fletcher. maybe we could buy half

Rogic is wasting away, he needs to play games, a loan is imperative, and a decent WC will do him the power of good.
I agree, bring players in now, let them bed in, this window will determine quite a few things.
Season book sales will depend on how far the boat is pushed out I reckon, the CL qualifiers are dependent on this window, cos I honestly think we would struggle with what we have presently to qualify next season, we were blessed the past games that we got through.

Serious question, and a positive for our current team
What is the record number of games / minutes for a club to go without conceding a goal ?
That would be worth a wee bash at
