  1. Spending on players’ wages, trading facilities and management is not the be all and end all for a successful winning team.

     

    I give you Leicester City as an example.

  2. CultsBhoy can not relate to Celtic Board ambitions on or off the park on

    Why don’t we just hire McInness and buy the Aberdeen team?

     

     

    Save ourselves a fortune?

     

     

    I think if we spend 6x as much it is not unreasonable to expect bigger marginal improvements over AFC etc than we are currently being given?

     

     

    That is a reasonable position.

     

     

    My ambition for Celtic goes way beyond scraping the SPFL title.

  3. The Green Man says SACK THE Board on

    Making excuses when the team is guff,,,wont help.

     

    Surely you can all see how poor we are.

    Good point well made.

     

     

    Superior finances merely improves your chances of success. Doesn’t guarantee it though. Man City , Chelsea as obvious examples.

     

     

    Successful clubs need combination of many factors.

     

    Unity, effective management, organisation, desire, team spirit, will to win , and many more.

     

     

    Yet I feel this current Celtic side lacks many of these characteristics.

  5. Only caught the last 20 minutes on TV tonight and it did not look great. The dropped points have brought the return of a few old posters and many new ones with 67 added onto their FF posting name.

     

     

    Pretty much like every match day commentary when points were dropped. Still 22 wins out of 32 league matches- only 3 defeats- they don’t get many opportunities to indulge so might as well make the most of it.

     

     

    All those saying that the semi result is in the balance will be back on after we win saying “It don’t mean anything. Any half decent pub team could have beaten them.”

  6. Tricoloured Ribbon on

    Have no confidence in this manager or team at all.

     

    I think we are vulnerable to ANY team in this league.

     

    I think we’ll get over the line but points will be dropped by both sides and we might just have enough to get home.

     

    Chronic watching this team though.

  7. Holy shit resources guarantee you nothing . Shouldn’t be bumping our gums about the EBT years because those extra resources guaranteed nothing.

  8. Cultsbhoy

     

    You’re avoiding the point.

     

    Astound, disgust, the point is that you are sceptical about the so called “spin” from Paul and the positivity from happy clappers like myself.

     

    It’s the Internet, and if you don’t like the opinions expressed or are scathing about the host, delete the site from your favourites, subscribe to sites that share your scepticism and then you won’t have to bear pain of a championship winning Celric team.

  9. Blindlemonchitlin on

    A point from the game was disappointing but not losing was super important. Yes the attack misfired but Craig seems back to his best again and the defence, Dedrick in particular, looks more solid. That matters in a tight run in.

     

     

    Remember that at a similar stage in the season a single point in these games, all of which we lost, would have won us the league:

     

     

    2003 Dundee away

     

     

    2005 Hibs at home

     

     

    2011 Inverness away

     

     

    At the business end of the season it doesn’t need to be pretty, we don’t always have to win but we should never, ever be losing.

     

     

    We didn’t lose tonight, we’re effectively 6 points clear with our goal difference and we’ve Aberdeen to play at home.

     

     

    Get behind the Bhoys and the management team, get the 5iar, thump the Baddies and do the double.

     

     

    Time enough for rending our garments after attending to that little lot.

  10. Tricoloured Ribbon on

    Can anyone tell me what the remaining fixtures will be after Saturday please?

     

    Or what they are likely to be?

  11. SFTB

     

     

    Some have been on all season saying the football is rubbish. If we win the semi final I will be happy, not that confident that it will happen though. Every game is a struggle and could go either way.

  12. We used to call the wee Green Man Jinky when we were crossing the road.

     

    When my children were struggling at school, we put in extra time with them to encourage improvement.

     

    Notice on Saturday how the team responded to positive support from the stands.

     

    Even in cyberspace we have a role, even if it is only in depriving the MSM from ammunition.

    I think you are missing the point- CQN is a vehicle for blind adoration of the host and 100% consensus of opinion.

     

     

    It is a blog for people to hold and express their opinions. My opinion is no more or less valid than yours .. Or anyone else Who contributes?

  14. Due to us being very poor at the minute

     

     

    Our record at hampden

     

     

    The mib doing their usual dirty tricks

     

     

    I’am very worried about the semi final against the Huns and I shouldn’t be at all. Jesus I just hope Griffiths doesn’t pick up an injury next week.

  15. TCR

     

    Still not certain. Hearts and Aberdeen will definitely qualify for top six with us.

     

    Motherwell 44 points, St Johnstone 43, Dundee 41 in next three positions.

     

    Partick in 7th place also have 41 points but are -6 GD against Dundee’s 0.

    I just see your post about that horse Uptake.

     

    Didn’t hear anything. I see it won at 10 / 1. Comfortably too.

  17. Aiden

     

     

    We had another regular match attender in HT posting tonight and expressing his surprise at how negative CQN match day reporting was.

     

     

    It gets close to being able to be scripted in advance now:-

     

     

    pre-match- Don’t agree with that line up. How can that eejit not see that my favourites should be played instead of his

     

     

    5 minutes in- Don’t like the look of this-

     

     

    10 minutes in- we are being dominated- they came close to getting a throw in in our half there.

     

     

    15 mins in- Time to change it Ronny – get your favourite aff and mine in

     

     

    30 mins- No way should player X, Y and Z appear again in the 2nd half- waste of 3 jerseys.

     

     

    45mins- Right – the season is slipping away here- wholesale changes needed and plenty of money spent- What do you mean the windae’s closed for months?

     

     

    60 mins- This is beyond a joke- a whole hour without a goal- this is unprecedented in the history of rosy-spectacled Celtic FC. Sack everybody!

     

     

    65 mins- Player X scores- Aye but he’s done nothing until that lucky sclaff.

     

     

    70 mins- Player Y scores- looks like it’s job done- I’m aff oot

     

     

    80 mins- Player Z scores- Aye but I’m still oot.

     

     

    90 mins- 3 points gained- Aye but we’re still pish and youz are getting carried away and thinking we’re wonderful and gonna win the Champions League

  18. One team in Glasgow tonight is celebrating and being applauded for winning the league and gaining a place in the same league as our club.

     

    The club is fairly new and inherited a support of a club who died chasing a dream of emulating the success of our dear club.

     

    Incidentally the celebrating club have lost the same number of games as our club have conceded more goals have a budget far greater than league rivals, many of the other sides they face are part time footballers.

     

    Life is good. Now is time to keep the faith oh and stay away from the Red tops too.

  19. GG

     

     

    Love that comm

     

     

    I passed the Wee Jimmy Johnstone at traffic lights onto my kid who was born in England. Took some explaining!

     

     

    Helped her with her maths last night and also her granda to master the ESTA process. That is family backing family.

     

     

    Mon the hoops

  20. SFTB

     

    Insightful but over dramatic. Slightly. ;-)

     

    And you missed the bit about Ronny standing watching glumly.

  21. SFTB

     

     

    Dress it up how you want mate we are dire, the manager imo does not have a clue. In the past month we have played Dundee twice and failed to score even in the 90’s that would have been deemed unacceptable.

  22. Tricoloured Ribbon on

    ‘GG,

     

    Thanks for your response.I was meaning on a home and away basis.

     

    I see there is a thread on KDS about it,but it’s still very complicated.

     

    They seem unsure there too.

     

     

    .

  23. What is the Stars on

    I saw Hamilton tims post about how negative the match day experience was on cqn.

     

    I actually thought tonight was fairly balanced compared with some of the match day hysteria I have seen.

  24. Big Georges Fan Club - Hail, Hail, Wee Oscar - Sack the Board - Lawwell Out on

    Me and Wee BGFC just in.

     

     

    Thought we played OK – better team for most of the game. Great effort and good organisation from Dundee, so never going to be an easy three points. They defended well and we had three cleared off the line, some blocked, etc. – on another day would have been a win.

     

     

    Thought our effort was good, but Griffiths wasn’t on form today – poor touch and decision making, and Broonie continued with recent poor form, particularly in relation to his passing. Certainly not 100% yet having come back from injury.

     

     

    Thought the CKR substitution just slowed everything down at the wrong time – Dundee seemed to be wilting a bit when the change was made, but it seemed to relieve the pressure on them.

     

     

    Need to give wee Roberts the ball more often – one run he went past 4 defenders and I still don’t know how he did it – teleportation?

     

     

    Boyata was solid again, and wee KT – very good too.

     

     

    Bit of a mixed bag really, but a good game to be at.

     

     

    Not interested in what the sheep do – we’ll win the league under our own steam.

  25. PeterLatchfordsBelly on

    Positive spin is that since losing to Ross County and Aberdeen we are unbeaten in 10 during which time we’ve only conceded 3 goals. Negative spin is that we’ve now had 4 nil-nils in the league, which would’ve been 5 but for Rogic’s wonder goal. Somewhere in between the truth is that this Celtic are the image of their manager. Dull, uninspiring, mediocre.

  26. Absaloutly awful ,midfield to slow,Griffith’s couldn’t buy a goal,Richards is poor,Ronny’s tactics not good ,if he is still here next season,and before I go on,I asked a few supporter’s if they think Ronny will still be the manager next season, No was the answer ,so for myself,I backed him right from the start,I’m in the get rid of camp,I always said in his defence,the man shouldn’t have been put in that position in the first place,but I will finish with this ,who ever the next manager of Celtic Football Club,do yourself and the fans a big favour, ditch all of the scouting department,

  27. Peterlatchords…Made that Point a While Ago, ” Teams are made in Their Managers Image” Case in Point…Athletico Madrid….

     

    Celtic under MON=NASTY…Now….Looks a Lot Like Ronny=….Fake Bite….Shambles
