  1. Small point totally overlooked.

     

     

    Average time to restart after rangers goals was over 2 minutes 30 seconds. Thats 7 minute 30 seconds minimum of time lost. Not a word from McLean.

     

     

    Someone suggested I take my kids dogs round for their evening walk past his front garden. After feeding them curry just in case they have upset tummy’s.

  2. I’m afraid the only thing saving Wilf at the moment is that the Board don’t want to give the Hun bragging rights as tipping us over the edge to get rid.

     

     

    Suspect it will play out over the next 3 / 4 weeks and then Wilf will be gone as well as the league.

     

     

    The players are putting in the effort in a flawed system , my preference is for the suits to swallow hard , grow a pair and organise a replacement tomorrow.

    Backing the board now is seen as a futile exercise and those who were doing it for the past year have slinked away, washing their hands of the entire sordid affair. It would bring Pontius Pilate to mind, too proud to admit they were duped. Quietly seething that the were roped in. Again.

     

     

    If you were all half as smart as you all think you are, you wouldn’t be on here. Spoofing.

     

     

    Those who still man the crumbling ramparts are looking for other avenues to deflect from the absolute shitshow brought to by the Unterschweine at the trough.

     

     

    This is very transparent.

     

     

    And is rather fascinating to watch.

  6. GREENPINATA….yes even Burnley…..I don’t agree with his opinions….but opinions are like arseholes…everyone has got one…

    Picture the scene… Post-match after Auchinleck 3 Celtic 2…

     

     

    BBC interviewer: Wilfried, I can’t believe you’re still here ya giant diddy. That’s 9 defeats in 11, this time to a junior team.

     

     

    Wilf: I saw good things. Ze Auchinleck Talbot played strong and have a proud record in ze Junior Cup. We are very close to a draw soon.

     

     

    BBC: but big man, you’re now out the cup and 5th in the league, behind Hibs and Motherwell. You’re officially the shittest manager in Celtic’s unbroken history. Surely your time is up?

     

     

    Wilf: no, not at all. What you say is the situation, I cannot deny it. However, that tiny squeaky mouse with ze tiny penis, Mr Nicholson and ze giant rat, Mr Desmond tell me zey hate ze fucking peasants so much zat I can lose every game till the end of ze season as far as zey are concerned. And I fully intend to.

     

     

    BBC: okay, that is consistent with the inaction we’re seeing from those blood sucking parasites. Finally, a word for your departed captain? On boarding his flight to rejoin Brendan Rodgers he said you were without doubt the biggest fraud and dud he had ever encountered in football, Paul Tisdale aside.

     

     

    Wilf: I cannot deny he said these things, this is the situation. However, I am building something historic ‘ere. Historically sheet. There is no place for Callum amongst such sewage. Merci.

  9. Imo, Nancy is going nowhere.

     

     

    We’ll see a few more loan deals – including a loan for a striker.

     

     

    We may cash in on Maeda this month to help plug the season ticket fall off in the spring.

     

     

    I’ve pretty much accepted that this season is done.

  10. What is the Starz on

    Trying to convince us to keep Nancy and to justify the outrageous idiotic decision to appoint him in the first place is obviously akin to trying to convince us that Maduro was kidnapped because he is narco terrorist (nothing to do with oil) and that Israel is defending itself by bombing the bejaysus out of everything that moves..Its pathetic…the king has no clothes…However there is no need for personal abuse

    after the match with few bhoys from dublin – i wasnt even drinking

     

    been coming over for years

     

    bhoys who are looked down on even in dublin – the tic are for the lower classes

     

    they feel the same way about dermots boy and the parasites on the board – looked down on, talked down to

     

    they are starting to wonder if it’s now worth it

     

    not entitled, dont expect to win, but defo entitled to a board that tries to

     

    more and more folk are starting to believe the ludicrous, incompetent decisions are deliberate

     

    cp was their sanctuary, their escapism – no more

     

    (and i’ll not bother writing what they think of the rugby lot)

     

     

    others from glasgow who have travelled home and away domestically and in europe now wont

     

    guys who ran celtic buses who havent stepped foot in hampden since the hampden year due to the sfa, and who stopped going to away games because of bonnie scotlands huns are now going to boycott our home games

     

     

    and the truly entitled come on here and say – whats next ? whats your plan ? without once commenting on the planning or lack of over decades

     

     

    absolutely pumped today by a pile of shite and possibly staring at 5th/6th place soon enough

     

     

    over a year looking for a centre forward, any centre forward, any one other than the poor guy who actually looks like hes not the full shilling the way he wanders about the pitch

     

     

    and PL seen this coming, deliberate or not and left the sinking ship when it suited him not when he was forced

    What is

     

     

    100% – but do you know what – our board stand with these c*nts

     

     

    apparently Cuba is next…

  14. PeterLatchfordsBelly on

    The Celtic plc have been running a giant con job, taking your money and lining their own pickets. Spinning enough bullshit about ‘tough market conditions’ to split the support and limit protest to manageable levels. But the venal duds are being found out big time this year.

     

     

    Nicholson et al better start ordering their tinderbox coffees in as the city is becoming a very hostile place for these conmen.

  15. The board/plc have not been the answer since 2012, if at all.

     

    Turning Celtic into a business instead of a Football club has deluded the very easily deluded supporter base.

     

    Endless one horse league trophies has turned Timdom into an Alice in Wonderland type of adventure.

     

    The fan base who bought the shares which built the stadium whilst McCann bolted with all of the profits did not auger well for a new transparent Celtic post 1994.

     

    Yes McCann said in advance what he’d do.

     

    BUT.

     

    When only Brian Dempsey left the building AFTER McCann backtracked on his, sell the club to the fans agreement, a MAJOR DECEPTION, then Integrity was no longer an important cog in the Celtic machinery.

     

    Sir Wullie Haughey did not walk out either……

     

    Fast forwarding to today’s landscape and….

     

    PLC need to be dismantled and a new structure put in place.

     

    Manager is an Old Firm plant.

     

    Its not WN’s fault what is happening.

     

    If someone offers you a chance to perform at a top club like Celtic, but who knows what was asked of WN before he agreed to join us?

     

    Put it this way, if it wasn’t WN the plant, it would be some other plant.

     

    60,000 Old Firm gatekeepers are not going to take Celtic anywhere.

     

    Standing in their little separate sewing bee cliques in the carpark gives off the impression that the club needs to suffer before reality makes an appearance again, which hasn’t been the case since 2005.

     

    Will Celtic finish in the top 6?

     

    Sometimes the MUCH NEEDED Medicine can be quite unpalatable.

     

    We are nearing that point unfortunately.

     

    PS, Any Celtic team which plays with One striker in every game is NOT a Celtic team.

     

    Pretentious Rodgers started this bs.

     

    A club run by and for cliques deserves to fail.

     

    Cliques are anti Celtic.

     

    The rivers of JUNGLE piss had more Timmyness about it, than 60,000 spoiled, fat, lazy, entitled, empty heads will ever have about them.

     

    The first sign of the cracked crest appearing on the horizon, is when spoiled fans canny even be ersed to hold up their scarves for YNWA.

     

    Entitled lazy fans lose all desire to put in a shift for the team.

     

    When YNWA is a chore then Celtic has long lost its magical appeal.

     

    Too many fat erchies hanging over the PLC trough eats away at the essence of Celtic-ness.

     

    DESMOND WHITE would allow the fans of the future into EVERY home game for free, 30%+ of every home gate got in for free, and the board were accused of lying about attendances, by snotty nosed liars post 1994 to make the PLC look like good guys, and still huge numbers fall for that guff.

     

    Now the fans of the future, or school aged Children have to pay a huge amount for season tickets, something like 32 quid per game I think?!

     

    In the new and progressive version of Celtic. lol

     

    New World Order version of Celtic is more apt.

     

    Sir Rod the Royal family close knit yin should be nowhere near Celtic.

     

    Remember to not demand season ticket boycott if you post on, SENTINEL CELTS, or honest Boaby Winklepicker will quickly remind you that, “Boycotting will mean that there is no Celtic.”

     

    He actually said that on SC and CQN to much applause from his sickofantic suckup filled clique. lol

     

    Wonder what they are all saying these days? lol

     

    Sad are the homes….

    I am astonished at how poorly highly paid executives have performed at Celtic FC. We had a manager that won 12 out of 14 Trophies competed for and they refused to back him.

     

    Brendan should have resigned the day after the Transfer window closed and I am sure the fans would have supported his decision.

     

    Desmond stated he was toxic. Why did he offer him an extension to his contract if that was the case? I know for a fact that the people who worked daily with him respected him.

     

    Nicholson will not resign as he is a young man with a young family on a salary that he could have only dreamed about. Once he is dismissed, I would be surprised if he ever attains this salary in his working life as he does not have the skills to be a COE.

     

    Everyone involved in the selection and appointment of Nancy should be sacked. This guy has achieved the square root of nothing in football. His team finished 7th in the league scoring 55 goals and conceding 51 in 34 games. How on earth did anyone believe that he was the best manager that we could get to follow Brendan Rodgers a serial winner?

     

    Incompetence and a toxic environment at Board and Senior Management level has destroyed our season.

     

    I’m absolutely sickened by their level of mismanagement.

     

    Unless we sort this out at the very top we will go nowhere.

     

    We have one class player in our squad, Calum McGregor the rest are bang average players who would struggle to get in other SPL teams.

     

    I apologise for my rant as I felt totally humiliated by that performance today.

  18. Bigbhoy,

     

     

    Desmond has always said Ross was the Celtic man in the house.

     

     

    What has changed Ross Desmond made an absolute bollocks off it with his naive telling off to the anti establishment fans — which is the roots of Celtic. He will never be forgiven or accepted by the fans even the well to do ones who remain humble. In fact less so by them …

     

     

    By not knowing this he has shown an out of touch arrogance which has been part of his exclusive upbringing. Ailesbury Road Dublin D4 is helluva different to anywhere in Glasgow.

     

     

    Dermot has no one to give the club too — others seem to have no interest and will probably harbour the same views. None of them will be trusted by the fans.

     

     

    The environment is important to understand Celtic. Celtic fans are the club and it is a very broad ship but the Board have driven a massive wedge between clubs and the fans. There are several layers to this and the fans feel cheated on so many levels and the last hing they need is a west Brit lecturing them (not Dermot a Cork man).

     

     

    Desmond will come to the conclusion there is no natural heir for controlling Celtic—- his best option is probably to sell. It’s fairly simple appoint strategic advisers and let the tango begin. A fairly low key transaction with no major regulatory approval could be finalised in 6 months. So loans in January with maybe a striker would be the order of the day to keep £80M in the bank to incentivise market and a possible title win to sweeten any deal (lipstick on the pig).

     

     

    Desmond took his eye off the ball , distracted with the deal they are trying to push through no doubt and similar to the Lennon shower appointment Lawwell played a sneaky fast one to get the outcome he wanted.

     

     

    However careful what you wish for as any US, Arab, UK investors are looking for a return — not just paltry preferred share dividends.

     

     

    I just feel Desmond will have had enough at his age and does he want to put his family through this shit.

     

     

    Ultimately Desmond is accountable for the mess we are in including a useless , weak incompetent board and execs who are not fit for purpose. He is also responsible for Tisdale and Nancy.

     

     

    In my opinion the Celtic light that shone is diminished greatly for him especially when I seen him sitting alone after the 7 1 game in Dortmund , Rodgers v Lawwell round 2 and now this debacle with his son being the butt of the Celtic fans gallows humour.

     

     

    He should go and enjoy his golf and his family and leave will he still has some goodwill in the bank and his legacy could be to set Celtic up by pulling off a masterpiece deal. It’s not impossible a few have been done in 25 and more will be done in 26.

     

     

    KTF

  19. Its not managed decline, that would suggest some form of control. Its decline, nothing more, nothing less.

     

     

    Focus, as said before, was wrong from the start. All people in senior positions at our club are Desmond approved. Collective et al should have been after him from the get go. Easier targets were Nicholson and McKay. No strategy to pressurise DD.

    “ Brendan should have resigned the day after the Transfer window closed and I am sure the fans would have supported his decision.”

     

     

    That was what they wanted him to do, you can’t sack serial winners and they had to wait for his petted lip, instead.

     

     

    Either way he wasn’t getting his hands on the money for the quality that’s been missing and was invisible today.

     

     

    Hell mend them I say, Wilfried Nancy is a Patsy for a board that self preserve first and foremost.

     

     

    Ironically, the money in the bank is now their downfall.

  22. I’m sadly not surprised Nancy hasn’t been sacked today. It’s a simple and obvious solution. It all comes down to one man pulling the trigger. Easy for him while he enjoys the sunshine of Sandy Lane. My hunch is DD will stick by Nancy. As utterly astonishing as it is.
