    Least I’ve ever been bothered about losing a big game ….we would be absolutely humiliated in CL …as for the money …who cares …doesn’t get spent anyway

  4. the long wait is over on

    BHOYJOEBELFAST on 26TH AUGUST 2025 8:38 PM

     

    Brendan Rodgers was not playing tonight….blame the players who could not deal at home and away with a very poor outfit.Roll on Sunday three points required

     

     

    ————

     

     

    On tonight , it seems to me that the players are terrified/not allowed to depart from BR’s tactics, no matter what happens in a game.

     

     

    Agree on Sunday.

  7. bheaver on

    Colby Donovan is afar better player and one of the few players who played well. Luke McCowan did OK when he came on but how Nygren Hetate stayed on the pitch for so long is on Rodgers. Our corners and free kicks were atrocious and I’d be surprised if we don’t have a massive hangover from this and drop points against the huns.

  9. DeniaBhoy on

    The Board, the manager and the players ALL share the blame tonight.

     

    Brendan’s team selection and tactics were wrong and Yang should have been hooked after 20 minutes. The rest of the team were barely any better and played like it was a pre-season against Troon juniors.

     

    The penalties utterly shocking.

  10. Laxalt on

    Only 10 men have taken £10m+ out of Celtic before tax..

     

     

    McCann

     

    Larrsson

     

    Brown

     

    MacGregor

     

    Lawwell

     

    Lennon

     

    Tierney (pending)

     

    Forrest (just)

     

    Desmond (probably)

     

    Rodgers

     

     

    Our best players tonight were our defence

     

    ……

     

    Ralaton n Scales were brilliant.

     

     

    Maeda….like watching a guy in a pub league….sell him tomorrow.

     

    Hatate….ditto

     

    Engels….Just OK…..but cmon TF

     

     

    We are a team without a trick or without quality up front….a fekin disgrace.

  11. the long wait is over on

    AURORABOREALIS79 on 26TH AUGUST 2025 8:38 PM

     

    Reo Hatste aside, there entire team were minging.

     

     

    —————-

     

     

    Really?

     

     

    Hatate was awful tonight.

  12. ziggydoc1 on

    the long wait is over on 26th August 2025 8:39 pm

     

    We play exactly the same way against every team.

     

     

     

    Any half decent manager has us worked out before the game starts.

     

     

     

    Shut Callum down, press the midfield and let the defence pass the ball to side and side to each other all night, while you regroup.

     

    —-

     

    Our defence can’t even pass the ball to one another under no pressure. A really poor pool of defenders to choose from. Thought ccv was really poor and has been for a while.

  14. clunks on

    If we had spent 10 or 15 million on the wingers and strikers we needed

     

     

    Would we have won that???

  16. No Bobby Does It Petta on

    Like the look of Donovan. And the Big Dane strolled through.

     

     

    We got what we deserved. Europa League is more our level.

     

     

    Blame lies with both the board and the manager. Time to freshen up with new faces, new ideas, bit of bold ambition.

  21. 31003 on

    Past Celtic teams had match winners….Johnstone, Dalglish, Aitken, McStay, di Canio, Larsson, Robson, Kyogo…the list is endless….this squad?…zilch…

  22. notthebus on

    £20m rated Diazen Mawdw through, clear required basic skills to find the nee for the winner in both games….Players should ne utterly ashamed of themselves

  23. GlassTwoThirdsFull on

    Well, Champions League progression undone by Bruges in Glasgow two years in a row. No way were we going to strengthen after that result last Tuesday and risk damaging the old firm.

  25. AuroraBorealis79 on

    We had a random ange return story a few days ago. I wonder is there something in that? Although, it dont fancy him. Just like Rodgers, he dont seem to have or want alternative options

  26. Kelvinbhoy on

    Paul The Spark on 26th August 2025 8:35 pm

     

    Probably for the best not being in Champions League. It would just be embarrassing.

     

    ———————————————-

     

    Am not sure we wont be embarrassed in the Europa League. Everyone is to blame, to a varying degree……

     

     

    -The board has not supported the manager with recruitment

     

    – The manager is one dimensional, and that can bite you when Plan A doesn’t work. Can we not shoot rather than recycle in the horseshoe system we seem to have to stick so rigidly to

     

    – The players there should have been enough to beat Almaty, no question. 2 games and they did not turn up

     

     

    A shambles on an epic scale

  27. Timbhoy163 on

    It’s this rotten system that Rodgers he as instilled with the players, he will be shown up this season,Rodgers blaming the pitch,etc,if it was another manager he would resign immediately, hopefully that happens next season with a good young quality manager,who will play the real Celtic Way,with at least 6 Quality players,

  29. spikeysauldman on

    surprised it went to pens, then totally expected. kaspar was nowhere near a single pen. no way back for idah – offers absolutely nothing. Maeda never has been a certainty for anything. Just why was he taking a pen ? always a lottery with him. only surprise for me was luke missed.

     

     

    totally resigned to this at best mediocrity and at worse shambolic disgrace.

     

     

    clueless & spineless from top to bottom – cup final sequel.

     

     

    fail to prepare – etc etc etc

  30. Sutton1888 on

    Screwed Brendan and fans over again,

     

     

    Absolute rats.

     

     

    Bring 2 in to add to the squad before qualifier and still failed us and Brendan.

     

     

    In any other job you’d be sacked yet fans continue to allow them to do as they please.

     

     

    Brendan will be seething inside and I hope he walks mid season because this board deserve it,

  31. vale bhoy on

    No home game for a month.

     

     

    Board, Rodgers & the team who don’t turn up will be relieved.

  32. DeniaBhoy on

    Could get worse.

     

    We could find out they fielded an ineligible player and be awarded a 0-3 win.

  33. Dexter P. Bampot on

    Deep breath…..

     

     

    Why should we as fans get annoyed when the board don’t appear as motivated ? Some of the players didn’t look particularly bothered too.

     

     

    What is the point in being in CL? Money? Not if we don’t spend it ffs

     

     

    What is the money being used for? The stadium? Definitely not. The academy? Nope. Or is it just to have health accounts with bonuses for the suits??

  37. clunks on

    As Brendan said

     

     

    It’s not

     

     

    “sack the board”

     

     

    Its “sack the manager”

     

     

    I expect him to be binned after the huns game

     

     

    Russel Martins haircut will be laughing at this pish

  38. Moisey17 on

    That is right up there with the worst I have seen us play.

     

    Kairat were truly awful and we were not good enough to beat them over 220 minutes- that is embarrassing.

     

    As individuals the players were very poor tonight – there is no pass marks for anyone but some were astonishingly poor and frankly desire looked to be lacking in some. McGregor in particular deserves some criticism tonight – he should be driving the team forward demanded and leading by example. His example tonight was terrible – constantly backwards and side ways 5 yard passes. He gave the ball away and was robbed constantly and it was because his first instinct was to go backwards. His pointing to others about where to pass when he could have done it himself is driving me up the wall.

     

    The manager has to recognise an alternative plan. We are predictable and slow and even that mob tonight with little prep were able to blunt us. He needs to find another way – playing out from the back on a pitch like that was foolish – there are times to play the game in their half and press them in there to make errors not the other way round.

     

    Finally the board – well you reap what you sow and that lot are a disgrace to this clubs history. Shame on them

  40. the long wait is over on

    ZIGGYDOC1 on 26TH AUGUST 2025 8:42 PM

     

     

    I know we weren’t up against much but the defence did okay.

     

     

    Defenders in my view like to defend.

     

     

    CCV likes to defend.

     

     

    I don’t think he enjoys having the ball at his feet more often than almost anyone in the team but that’s how we play.

     

     

    When was the last time a midfielder picked the ball up and drove forward 30/ 40 yards?

     

     

    Even if we had the players to do it – McGregors legs are going imo and Bernardo doesn’t get a game – we take so long to be the ball out against anyone other than Scottish domestic dross the midfield are marked out.

     

     

    I hope Russell Martin is as poor a coach as the Rangers fans seem to think he is.

     

     

    If not and he susses us out as Clement and even Barry Ferguson did last season , Sunday could be tough.

     

     

    it shouldn’t be but neither should Almaty have been and they have just humiliated us.

  41. KevJungle on

    If there were any serious people on the board then Rodgers wouldn’t be allowed back onto the clubs return flight, and convene a press conference on the Celtic Way and announce that Rodgers has been SACKED and is no longer a part of the club, neither is daft arsed MON for twisting the boards arm up their back to take a relegated manager to Celtic, after the Tony Mowbray disaster.

     

     

    Luckily for Rodgers he wasn’t competing against the EBT Doped-up Huns like BTM was.
