  1. I don’t blame the players. They are doing their best and If their best isn’t good enough it it isn’t their fault. The blame lies with the people who signed them and the people who play them.

    True but they have an easier CL path than the one we’ve faced. Not saying they’re guaranteed a group stage spot but I rate their chances well above 50/50.

    Sevco will spend every penny of Euro money on better players they always have

     

    —————————

     

     

    Yes no need to spend any of the money on those pesky taxes and bills……

    Completely agree but I doubt that the custodians of the club have the stomach for that fight.

     

     

    I blame them for all this.

     

     

    These reptiles are back lording it with their supremacist garbage after being kept under their stones for the past 10 years. We have enabled them at every level.

  5. I see some are repeating the same stuff JF blogger is demanding re the coaching team.

     

     

    Thing is just like his conplete lack of understanding of business, he also has very little credible knowlege of football, Christ he’s barely a Celtic supporter.

     

     

    John Kennedy been at Celtic largely through 9 in a row.

     

     

    Maybe not ready yet for management but he’s simply doing what was asked to do, interim manager.

  6. On the discussion about defending corners, MoN said he wanted CHs who wanted to head the ball (sounds simple but bear with me), guys who would go and win it like Balde, Mjalby etc. Adding to that, he said opposition players knew those guys were going to be going for the ball and gave them a path to it – in otherwords they kept out their way. Without naming us specifically (but the inference was their), he said the opposite also applies, the opposition knows when CHs don’t fancy heading the ball.

     

    Simple, eh?

  7. I predicted Collum would decide the outcome of the game , and imo he did , cheat of the highest order :(

  8. Squire – I hear ya. Personally I’m taking it all in and going to use it to supercharge my enjoyment of the next league win. Indeed if we win the cup this season I reckon I’m probably going to go aff ma nut like I haven’t since 1995!

  9. Go tell the Spartim on

    We have many issues to address, from 1st team down. That may take a little time, the new manager will have to buy quality (at our level, not sevco nor spfl but what we can afford ) he’ll need to wheel and deal in the loan market as we simply can’t afford a whole new team of quality (loans in the short term with the occasional loan from bigger league teams with too many players ) we need to address why our promising youngsters are jumping at first opportunity as well, colt teams and better coaching might help though I expect colt teams proposal to be a non runner. I agree we need to be better so refereeing won’t count but we still need to call it out if only to protect our players from the cheating and the agricultural tacking that’s permitted. Much to do, we’re only guessing that work is being done in the background

  10. Peter lawells last season as CEO will reach his targets of zero debt and substantial

     

    Cash in the bank

     

    He will be paid a bonus of approx 1 million

     

    Pounds when he leaves in 1st of July

  11. !!Bada Bing!! on

    C12- from what I know Collum obsessed with money,after the huns banned him,he was doing some Championship games and not SPFL games,costing him money, he will never put himself in that position again……allegedly….

  12. Gene on 21st March 2021 2:13 pm

     

     

    When Lenny was in charge I was always amazed how little input JK had during the game – now I know – he’s a clone with team selection, tactics ? and substitutions.

     

    ———-

     

    Or maybe JK has been doing the team selection, tactics and substitutions throughout all this this season and that’s why nothing has changed once Lenny left.

  13. On the Ajer subject again

     

    no axe to grind with the player who on the whole has been good for us but who would buy him and where would they play him

  14. SHAUNAMURA on 21ST MARCH 2021 4:08 PM

     

     

    I don’t see Ajer at an elite club for now but I think there’ll be a lot of mid-ranking English or German sides that would take him.

  15. When was the last time that Collum or Wee Nicola lost a cheap goal that stemmed from cheap corner?

  16. SAINT STIVS on 21ST MARCH 2021 2:25 PM

     

     

    Can you remind me of one time we have made a double substitution on 88 mins?

  17. Plenty of comments about bent refs etc; however, we are not good enough to take our chances and finish opposition off. That is a major problem in addition to our clownish defensive “tactics”.

  18. onenightinlisbon on

    See the head in the sand crew still at it in here. “Not Kennedy’s fault”, “Refs to blame”, “COVID”, “Scottish Government”. Gies peace. We have fallen as far as we could, our own making. Long way back but it’s achievable if the right team is appointed. Desmond – up to you now.

    NOTTHEBUS on 21ST MARCH 2021 4:20 PM

     

     

    Lennon would have done the same…Christie untouchable and Rogic….

  20. onenightinlisbon on

    Nothing against Kennedy at all but he has a lot to learn, however you would have thought that after having watched the previous manager making crazy substitutions he might have thought more about those he made today.

  21. geebee 1978

     

     

    that’s fair enough and he has talent but will be interesting to watch how he develops

  22. You’d think Lennon was talking into JK’s earpiece today.

     

     

    Needed subs on much earlier (as usual).

     

     

    79 mins before 1st sub…

     

    (note : Sevco have FOUR subs on before our 1st)…and even then, it’s Forrest (who’s seen all of 15 mins of action)

     

     

    85th min before 2nd sub…

     

    Takes off a forward (when we need a goal to win) and brings on Rogic (JK playing not to lose?).

     

     

    88th min he finally brings on a forward (but takes Edouard off) – so like for like – still only 1 forward on pitch.

     

    Brings Soro on for Brown.

     

    Why wait til 88th min? What can they possibly do to affect the game?

     

     

    Another game with ridiculous use of subs.

     

     

    If you look back throughout this season, I think you’d find that Sevco have utilised their squad sooooo much better than we gave.

     

    They use 4/5 subs in most games, and bring them on early enough to make a difference – even if that difference is keeping those coming off fresher for the long campaign.

     

     

    We seldom use as many as 2 subs before the 75/80th minute. Today we brought 2 on in the 88th minute! A tactic most used by teams wanting to hold onto what they have in the game, by wasting time, disrupting the opposition & bringing fresh legs on to defend.

     

     

    Unbelievable misuse of our squad all season, imo.

  23. prestonpans bhoys on

    Must admit that was the most disinterested derby game I’ve ever watched. Didn’t even let out my usual roar when we scored.

     

     

    When we did score I think that was the first attempt on goal between the two.

  24. SYDNEYTIM on 21ST MARCH 2021 3:20 PM

     

    “John Kennedy should be no where near Celtic park”

     

     

    Nowhere near a shower room, you mean! por cierto

  25. Go tell the Spartim on

    Quonno

     

     

    Sometimes a chip on your shoulder or everyone’s against us mentality though it’s a fine balancing act

  26. We will be very , very Lucky to get between £15m to £20m for Eddie.

     

     

    He is not good enough for a top side in a top league .

  27. Thought we played well,but without a clinical finisher,surrendered the initiative.

     

    Game should have been out of sight before they equalised,courtesy of a Kenny error.

     

    Substitutions bordering on stupidity,for me bin that CV.

     

    Formal complaint should be made against Collum,he has favoured huns all Season whether we were involved or not.

  28. Ajer is 22 and has already played 250 first team games, including 38 games in Europe. Good young pro, stays injury free, and can adapt to different positions. He perfectly fits the profile of what a lot of decent standard clubs are looking for these days.

     

     

    Its a low bar but he’s probably been our best player this season, there’s a lot of potential for development there.
