    I don’t think theres a self-imposed limit on spending. Like most of us I don’t know anything about our dealings this window, but after spending 20m on two players last Summer I don’t see why we wouldnt do it again if we could and wanted to. I think it’s as simple as we can’t get good players to come to Celtic early in the window. I want it as much as anyone but you can’t will it to happen.

     

     

    As a football manager Brendan is as good as we’re likely to get. The other stuff, I think we can do better and have

  2. Just a wee thought here but mibbees just mibbees DD offered BR a contract extension and he knocked it back saying 3 years is enough, so he decided tae only give him enough to get by his season basing this on his throwing money about like a man with no erms last season and buying players that are NOT fulfilling the potential their cost demanded, well in Scottish fitba terms.

  3. All our other European exits at the qualifiers were bad enough but tonight was a real low point. The opposition were unspeakably poor , it is our worst European performance in decades.

     

     

    Everyone to blame , seems to me that for the players to play so badly , they’ve got spooked by the CL quality thing …..other explanations equally valid

    “Was Rodgers unhappy with the pitch last week?

     

    No!

     

    Then why were we so shite?”

     

    %

     

    Rodgers is just another chancer like, Sir Rod the fraud etc, Tory deceiver playing at…..

     

    “OH LOOK OVER THERE!”

     

    When he was pictured with Connor McGregor recently, his feet shouldn’t have touched the floor on the way oot.

  5. It’s a slightly sobering thought that we got knocked out by the team sitting third in the Kazakhstan premier league.

  6. That was institutional failure for a club like Celtic.

     

     

    Last agm the bank balance was explained away for that rainy day we may not qualify for CL.

     

    To me it was a note of preparing to fail.

     

    Not a hint of ambition to step on our build up

     

    and strengthen from a strong position.

     

     

    Every Board member has failed in their duty

     

    To comfortable in position,no dynamism and no new blood introduced to a board in a long time.

     

    That needs to change

     

     

    Brendan,that was poor fayre,it was the cup final again,could be playing now and still not score.

     

    We appear in a malaise.

     

     

    Change is going to come

    who told you that about Boca fans ?

     

     

    I was speaking/working with my colleague as the game was being played – a Boca fan, lives in B.Aires – reckons hes a decent player.

    Don’t know if we** took this lot too lightly but if we did ,I hope a painful lesson comes out of it . Personally I’m going to put ‘laughing at Rangers*’ on hold until the league’s won .

     

     

    When I say we** ,I mean the club as a whole including fans .

  9. Oh look wee kev racist grifting towards supporting the board.

     

    Beating up on Brendan.

     

     

    Should you not be watching heid grifter at woke central.gravitate towards manutd like him

  10. sell us to an Arab consortium ! who cares anyway – football has lost its soul to money! At least they would attend our matches unlike Desmond!

     

     

    I’m not so entitled to think we should win every game and qualify for every tournament. What I dont accept is a lack of attacking intent in ANY celtic team. We passed the ball to the point our players were bored with it. Why not go 3-5-2 ?? maybe that would bring the best out in Idah , Kenny , Yamada. Scales on the left wing at times made my stomach churn – why ? he’s a gangly carelsss center back.

     

     

    Forget the board – This is on Rodgers fear of a Diddy team – utter rotten football that I dont identify with!

     

     

    He must be sacked or he must walk without comp. That needs to happen to give us a jolt – The board need to spend to give us a jolt. If we don’t , we are in for a shocker of a season.

     

     

    TIME TO RESPOND! FIRE WITH FIRE

  11. Bottom line.

     

    Clubs are motivated by winning trophies and progressing. Celtic are motivated by a healthy bank balance and financial rewards for the suits.

     

    Change needed from the top .

  12. Clunks

     

     

    KevJungle for the board!!

     

     

    Kev racist would shite it on the Celtic board,

     

    Has not been out of Blant’urr for decades.

     

    He can’t hide been crippled inside

    Thankfully I’ve been distracted since FT by the company of a wonderful friend who has no interest in football.

     

     

    My last post tonight: I’ve listened to this shill repeat ad nauseam how he will be here for 3 years and see out his contract……….unless he’s sacked.

     

     

    Let’s now look at things using Occam’s Razor – how can an “elite” manager with superior resources fail to put out and motivate a team to overcome a pub team over 180 minutes of football, 30 minutes of extra time and a penalty shoot out?

     

     

    Because he WANTS to be sacked.

  14. There’s actually no point in getting another £40 million plus,just to sit and look at it in a bank account

  15. Can someone tell me why it is acceptable for a Celtic manager to lose its biggest games if the season to a club with a budget the size of Livingston. All he does is talk down his squad. No wonder they go out and play like frightened rabbits. Thus is on him and HIS recruitment guy.

    “Rodgers said he wasn’t happy with the pitch….”

     

     

    Indeed he did.

     

     

    And yesterday he said there can be “no excuses”.

     

     

    As did most of us.

     

     

    Charlatans always change their tune.

     

     

    He wants the sack, so don’t be holding your breath for a result on Sunday.

     

     

    It will only get worse until the person who allowed this clusterfu%^ to develop takes responsibility and bins him.

    Keep the faith. We will all feel better when the monkey’s get papped out tomorrow and the rest of the scotch dross get hammered on thursday.

  19. B78- you and your pal P67 will be delighted tonight, never Celtic supporters BTW, wait until Kennedy and Maloney are in charge,and get Lawwell Jr back from Real Madrid, the club’s a shambles, and start at the top with Desmond, the Grace Brothers Board, who are stealing money,but overall their have zero ambition to make this club as good as it can be.

     

    ‘World class in everything we do” Nicholson who most couldn’t pick him out in a line up,but gets over £2000 a DAY,for what,Dermot Desmond needs emptied,he’s outlived his time a long time ago,but the other major shareholders will do fk all and we will be back to this point in 12 months time

  20. 3-5-2 and we would have won tonight and at home!

     

     

    Idah and Yamada or Kenny up front

     

     

    maeda, hatate, mcgregor, engels, nygren

     

     

    scales or Tierney , murray , ccv

     

     

    This one striker nonsense has to stop with Celtic – if you’ve got speed and power – use it !
