    Auld heid

     

     

    Given we have taken 1 point out of last 2 games – does a game in hand mean 3 points to you?

     

     

    I fear you are allowing your expectations to be downsized..

  2. The Green Man on

    Weak performance from a weak Celtic team.

     

    Any body that is happy with that performance, needs to look a bit closer.

     

    At 2-1 with 5 min to go….a pal of mine dropped by…I went to make some coffee and said..it will be 2-2.

     

    I was right….and it was predictable, because we cannot defend.

     

    We could lose the league with this team….and considering the opposition, that’s shocking.

     

    Cant say I’m too confident.

     

    Depressing stuff imo.

    How dare Hearts turn up and give us a game!

     

     

    That shoodny be allowed!

     

     

    O, and good night.

  4. Tricoloured Ribbon on

    So we have massive resources compared to the other teams in the league,we’re an utter laughing stock in Europe,yet we are happy getting a draw against Hearts.

     

    Seriously?

     

    Ronny- “This is how I want to see my play:”. I’m away to pour masel a stiff drink.

  5. ron67 on

    what have we to do to see out a lead in a game , not for the first time we have thrown points away from a winning position.

  7. blantyretim is praying for the Knox family on

    I posted or match that our downsizing has come home to roost.

     

    I thought Mc Gregor was OK others disagreed.

     

    Some thought Rogic was rubbish others disagreed

     

     

    We all agreed that the downsizing of CFC to the increased revenue of the board members is where the problem lies.

  8. BIG-CUP-WINNERS on

    soukous

     

     

    Tony Stokes. I’m just desperate to increase the chance of us scoring.

     

     

    He’d do that; a no-brainer. Or maybe we should introduce a 32 year old unfit, slow, with even slower reactions !

     

     

    That’s against the fact that I think Tony is selfish on the pitch, makes too many wrong decisions near goal.

     

    But right now, we need someone of proven ability (ish) not a gamble,not another punt wasting the club’s finances.

     

     

    Allowing Deila more cash in January, will inhibit the next guy’s chances big style. The current plethora of poor signings (and a few of Lenny’s too) will financially hamstring us for 3 or 4 years.

     

     

    Like I wrote Stokes will score.

  11. Aiden Bhoy on

    Auldheid

     

     

    It was a competitive game because we are going back the way at an alarming rate. Round about this time next year will we be happy at a 2-2 away game at a newly promoted side ?

  12. THE EXILED TIM on

    timbhoy3 on 27th December 2015 5:21 pm

     

    The Ref had a Shocker so said Exiled Tim.but I’m not blaming the ref.work that one out.

     

    ………………………………………

     

    You been at the sherry ?

     

    The referee was shocking, end of.

     

    Now in the non sherry world that I live in, the two don’t always mean that he was to blame for us not winning or losing points.

     

    Now you work that one out.

  13. Big Georges Fan Club - Hail, Hail, Wee Oscar on

    Right – never got a ticket at Tynecastle, so came home with the radio off, and just finished watching the game a minute ago. Two comments:

     

     

    1) Any Walker is a total nugget – clearly hates Efe, and not a good word to say about Celtic – and I know about his parentage, brothers family, et. al., but no excuse for him being a complete balloon.

     

     

    2) Tanner – words fail me – how can such a wee bigoted, Celtic-hating, Hun scumbag, ratbag get air time – he is getting worse every time I see him, and he makes no attempt now to hide his loathing for Celtic. His comments at the end of the programme were an absolute disgrace.

     

     

    Anyway – on to the fitba’.

     

     

    Good festive game – control flowed from team to team over the 90 minutes. Celtic unlucky with injuries, but – other than breaking up our rhythm in the first half – I don’t think were were weakened by the substitutions.

     

     

    Gordon – couple of very good saves – the one down at his left hand side was a cracker. Couldn’t do anything about the goals

     

     

    Mikael – still not at his best, and poor at their first – been caught out at that back post a few times now. That said – he got a toe on it, and the wee Hertz nyaff was lucky to see it hit his foot and go in.

     

     

    Boyata – looked good while on the park – covered for Simunovic well

     

     

    Simunovic – Flips between being excellent, and going on daft mazy runs that leave the rest of his defensive team scrabbling back to cover for him – just defend big man!

     

     

    Wee Man – brilliant as usual – loves a tackle, and misses very few, if any. Keeps it simple.

     

     

    Joe Hansen – better today I thought – a few good early balls on the deck (for a change)

     

     

    McGregor – worth his place

     

     

    Jimmy – Good tackling back (Walker gave him a roasting – calling him ‘stupid’ – for the free kick that led to their 2nd – I was glad to see him back fighting for the team at that stage)

     

     

    Rogic – good close control – great goal

     

     

    Cifti – tried, God bless him, but nahh

     

     

    Bitton – good

     

     

    Armstrong – hard to say – went off too early to judge

     

     

    Still fizzing at that twat Tanner.

    Pl never said

     

    ‘We will come out of every transfer window stronger than we went in’ he said we AIM to come out stronger than we went in. ..as every club at any level does… so why he gets called a liar I’m not sure ..

  16. blantyretim is praying for the Knox family on

    We also disagreed re their 2nd

     

    1 saying keeper position being wrong and he could have saved it had he been in correct position

     

    Others saying it was an a hole winder

     

     

    We had a good debate without it getting personal

     

    I remember Cqn was like that

  18. The Green Man on

    TCR

     

     

    I’m good bud…hope you are too.

     

    As for the game today….dearie me.

     

    It seems we now have to be satisfied with a draw against a team who have just been promoted from the championship.

     

    So….have Hearts rapidly improved, or are we very poor.

     

    Personally, id say we are very poor.

     

    Shambles.

    BT,

     

    I thought McGregor was reasonable too.

     

    I’ll tell you one thing.

     

    For a so called Hun he tries his heart out.

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

    Ciftci or Cole… Tricky decision for Deila. He’s painted himself in to this particular corner.

     

     

    Forest should be converted to a one up front striking whippet as a makeshift while Griffiths is out

  21. bigshuggy on

    Dreadful to lose such a late goal.Broony’s presence missed. Last Sauturday, I could here big McManus shouting instructions at his teammates. Yesterday, I watched the Arsenal superstars bounce of Wanyama. Thought Effy was excellent, and might be worth trying in midfield which is far too lightweight.

  24. dim sam on

    My disappointment is focussed on us dropping points yet again from a match we seemed to have won.

     

    I agree with Praecepta that this team’s game management is poor – look at all the European games this season where we lost 2- goal leads.

     

    We have enough players with superior skill to the opposition to score goals and win matches in this league, but there is a valid sense of under achievement from many I speak to. There is no sense of entitlement, more a frustration that we should be achieving more.

     

    In my opinion there are a few problems which need to be addressed.

     

    Firstly, I think we need a proper defensive midfielder to play in front of our centre backs, instead of the two” holding mids” we use. A Neil Lennon type. I know most of the top teams use Ronny’s 4-2-3-1, but I think it doesn’t always suit us. Roberto Martinez uses a 4-1-4-1 set up and I think this would work well for us.

     

    I like Stuart Armstrong but have been dismayed to see him continually wasted out wide on the left.

     

    I also think Scott Allen has a lot to offer but my acceptance of the patient introduction after injury has given way to frustration at the lack of opportunities he has been given recently.

     

    What has happened to Stefan Johansen? Certainly not worth his place in the team presently.

     

    I worry that Nadir Ciftci will never make any significant contribution in a Celtic Jersey.

     

    I think we are too lightweight in midfield without Scott Brown. I am one of those who wanted us to sign John McGinn last summer – maybe 2016 after he has helped Hibs to win their league.

     

    On a positive note I have no doubts that we will win the league and I am excited at the thought of the young Scottish players we could build a strong team around ( Christie, Armstrong, Allen, Henderson, Tierney) with 2 or 3 old heads to guide them.

     

    Look forward to seeing many of you next Saturday.

     

    Oh and well done Efe.

    Never in the history of the Scottish game has ANY manager been judged solely on Europe.

     

     

    By in large our European record is abysmal with a few notable exceptions. If Celtic managers were judged solely on Europe as you suggest, we have had two successful manager in our entire history.

    Really good to see you back buddy

     

     

    Hope you are well on the road back

  30. Dontbrattbakkinanger on

    This is like listenin’ to the ole SuperScoreBoard.

     

     

    It is December. We are still top of the League.

     

     

    We have been hampered by injuries and loss of form to our key players from last year.

     

     

    Any of our players that a team could be built around are sold as soon as possible; we could have had a spine of the team that read Forster/van Dijk/Wanyama/Hooper instead of the current crop of Hoopslegends.

     

     

    So the ones that are left are flawed; it is what it is.

     

     

    We’ve had better times, we’ve had worse times.

     

     

    Try supporting the West Indies cricket team, or Cowdenbeath.

     

     

    Ghod knows Celtic have few enough friends in Scottish football; don’t jump to the front of the queue to stab them in the back.

  32. Big Georges Fan Club - Hail, Hail, Wee Oscar on

    …and another thing – Walker (at Hertz penalty claim) said that Cifti made a “…two-handed push in the bottom of <> back…”, when clearly, as the TV replay was illustrating at the time, he did no such thing.

     

     

    They say what they want to say, irrespective of the truth that is in front of their eyes – pre-determined negativity about Celtic – Huns and soup-takers the lot of them (apologies to those who don’t like that particular term – substitute your own alternative).

     

     

    HH

     

    BGFC

     

     

    …and since when is a 2-2 draw away to Hertz a disgraceful result? I must have missed all of that when I was growing up – it’s not great, but it is not woeful either – get a grip.

    Do you believe that we would be better paying kids £30k a year or board members receiving this?

     

     

    The kids are our future

  35. bournesouprecipe on

    DBBIA

     

     

    Think ourselves lucky the heavy team are already away in a bad mood because we got a draw.

     

     

    They’ll be ready to log in on Wednesday depending on the score line.

  36. wycombebhoy on

    TET ..you’re right you didn’t, I read that into your post. Apologies.

     

     

    Im not happy with our transfer policy either btw.

  37. Greenpinata on

    We keep reading that ” with our massive resources compared to the others ” etc, etc .

     

     

    I wonder , would the blog be a happy place if we could win every game by five or six nil; or would we then want seven or eight ?

     

     

    Football is entertainment and imo our most immediate priority is to entertain. Would winning 5,6,7 or 8 nil every game entice the fans back that currently don’t make the effort to go to Paradise?

     

     

    HH.

    Yip, agree sir. He was played in there before, but we are a different outfit now.

     

    Worth adding his athleticism and physicality. Perhaps being in the engine room, may be better for Efe too ?
