  1. Celticrollercoaster luvs his luminious lime boots on

    Tonight was an embarrassment for the New Manager and us.

     

     

    Why do we not learn?

    Seen a few suggestions on team lines for tomorrow tonight, so here is mine

     

    1) don’t have anyone making their debut away from home in Europe

     

    2) don’t play players out of position

     

    3) stick to either a 442 or 4231 that players are used to.

     

     

    Let’s hope manager is right and I am wrong .

     

     

    ————–

     

    Don’t wish to gloat in the success of my prediction, but tonight was one of the most hopelessly, incompetent and naive performances I have seen in a long long time.

     

    In the short term it has cost us CL money, but in long term I suspect we will lose 5/6 k season tickets from this, who won’t be back for several years.

     

     

    What on earth was the manager thinking with that formation?

     

     

    This week manager has had two major decisions to make , first in letting Tony Watt go , and creating a media circus, the second his line up tonight.

     

    In both, he is spectacularly wrong.

     

     

    Honestly this is scary.

    New football coach on a SPL budget loses Champions League qualifier

     

     

    Shock

     

     

    We are at this level because of money

     

     

    TV money to be exact

     

     

    And when you don’t have it you have to downsize

     

     

    Ronny is not an experiment manager he is a cutting your cloth accordingly manager

     

     

    Players from the artic circle anyone

     

     

    Celtic FC are working in a local market albeit with global media coverage

     

     

    So

     

     

    Borrowing for success is not a real option in the Scottish football financial environment.

     

     

    See dead club for prime eg

     

     

    Thankfully our assets are our players and not the bricks and mortar

     

     

    Not happy with the result of course but happy a possible early European exit wont cause my club to go bust

     

     

    As big Mogga said take it on the chin

     

     

    We are where we are because of where we are csc

  4. mncelt on

    There are some desperately sad and disillusioned people in here – and I am not talking as a result of the game.

     

     

    We are in upheaval. We have a new management team, we have yet to play a competitive domestic game, we have lost our captain, we have not had a chance to bring in new resources, we are staying with our Edinburgh relatives, our opponents had a head start on us, we play in a football backwater with limited financial resources, we have no competition in our league, we have to sell our best players to stay alive, yet most of you expect us to be competitive in the biggest club competition in the world.

     

     

    Get behind your team or just face the fact that you get no pleasure from them and go away. The Board and our management team have my full support. I love Celtic win lose or draw.

     

     

    We have enough resources to get through this tie. If you don’t believe that, don’t watch next week.

  7. BigChipsUK - There are only two SPL teams in Glasgow... Celtic and Partick Thistle on

    I can talk a good game too, yet I probably couldn’t manage for toffee… but the only tempo I noticed tonight was the tempo with which we were conceding goals and penalties.

     

     

    Over to you Ronny. It’s time to get back to basics and learn how to play as a coherent team unit, defending competently and resolutely and, above all, setting your team up to suit the players’ strengths and guard against exposing their weaknesses.

  8. castlebhoy on

    very disappointed tonight but we are where we are.We need time to shape a team for the future.No doubt players will go some because they are not up to it and some because we cant knock back the money offered combined with the fact that they cannot fulfil the ambitions they have with us.We cannot expect Suttons Hartsons and the like to be bought again somewhere in between lies our place in the game.We are still Celtic and we are still here.Just the thoughts of an occassional poster not a happy clapper

  9. Joe Filippis Haircut on

    Big Chips. It is easy after the event but that team would have been much more solid in my opinion. H.H.

  10. lionroars67 on

    I will be in Murrayfield next week, hope to meet up with some CQN Celtic men

     

     

    I am not convinced Neil Lennon leaving was responsible for what happened tonight

     

     

    We have a very inexperienced managerial team at this level, very lofty ideals about how Celtic will play the game, the Celtic way ? nothing wrong with wanting a very ambitious style of play one that keeps possession of the ball in ALL areas of the pitch, play a passing game anywhere on the pitch, however it takes hours and hours of team practice to develop that style, the SPFL will give them some of that time, however tonight was not the night for the high energy pressing game with an adventurous 4-3-3 playing formation, C/L cup football certainly wasn’t the night to throw a guy in who has hardly kicked a ball last season and has had one training session with his new team mates, very amateurish management tonight, John Collins has found out the real reality of C/L on the pitch as opposed being in a TV studio

     

     

    As some posters have pointed out a very bad start does not necessarily mean a horrendous season

  11. the glorious balance sheet on

    We can all moan about the players that didn’t play well tonight – mulgrew burget pukki etc – but a bigger scandal is the tumshies signed at great cost that weren’t even good enough to start for a shamblised celtic team : take a bow boerigter kayal balde and most importantly the CEO whose strategy dictated your arrival at celtic

     

     

    Meantime samaras is deemed not worthy of a contract offer

  12. Doc on

    The Football was bad.

     

     

    But get some perspective.

     

    I’m now watching the news.

     

    And our governments stand by, shame on them.

     

    A baby was buried beside her Mother.

     

    It is just a game, I love it and am hurting, but it’s nothing.

  14. the_huddle on

    So the solution to our much more expensive team being embarrassed by Legia is that we shouldve spent more money, how does that work?

  15. The Green Man on

    Surely it must be obvious by now, that you cant be a champions league team without spending money.

     

    But…no, even after a severe thrashing….the happy clappers will still try to talk nonsense, with not even the good grace to admit they are wrong.

     

    Why am I not surprised.

     

    This PLC gravy train has to stop…..they are making Celtic a laughing stock.

     

    They wont spend a dime, but expect the supporters to foot the bill for everything.

     

    Time we opened our eyes to whats going on….massive salaries and bonuses, for what exactly?….embarrassing failure.

     

    Disgusted….PL you should resign

    I’ve spent a great deal of my working life listening to and dealing with people who are better in theory than in practice .

     

     

    I have listened to many an academic appraisal of the theory of selling.

     

     

    Most of those that pontificated about the theory of selling ,failed when put to the test.

     

     

     

    I can’t stand Alan Hansen,Mark Lawrenson ,Or Dixon.

     

    They have never achieved anything in management yet they theorise where it went wrong.

     

     

    The worst of the lot is Alan Shearer.

     

    Given the task of saving Newcastle from relegation he failed to win one match.

     

    Yet he sits and pontificates about where managers are getting it wrong.

     

     

    Why am I mentioning this .

     

    We’ll I see John Collins and Ronny Deila in this mould.

     

     

    So called academics of the game.

     

     

    Theorists who in practice will fail.

     

     

    Who is to blame.

     

     

    The people who recruited them.

     

     

    I stated Boerigter wouldn’t work, Fortune,Moyokolou,Bangura,Balde,Pukki.

     

    I was told to wait and give them a chance.

     

     

     

    We’ll I’ll state the same with Collins and Deila.

     

     

    The club is trapped in the SPL.

     

    It is treading water until Sevco make it into our league.

     

     

    Then it will be more of the same.

     

     

    Celtic are losing regular attendees by the tens of thousands.

     

    The product is boring.

     

    Most of the matches are meaningless.

     

     

    The ones that matter are now beyond us.

     

     

    This side will struggle to qualify for the Europa League.

     

     

    It will be further weakened by the sale of our better players.

     

     

    The SPL should be a walk in the park,but Deila & Collins will make it closer than it was last season.

     

     

    Dermot in the remote likelihood that you read this,and the even remoter hope that you care.

     

     

    Please get us out of the SPL and into the EPL.

     

     

    Find a way.

     

     

    We are are slowly dying in Scottish football.

    Super Salary gets pelters for his 750k salary and Uncle Tom Lawell gets an easy time on 250k per annum more.

  30. curlybhoy on

    The only real positive for me tonight was McGregor, he looked far better than a lot of his more experienced teammates. The only other two to get pass marks would be FF and VVD who may have played their last game in the hoops!

     

     

    The biggest negative for me, and it’s more of a realisation is that we are on a big downward curve, I fear I have already seen Celtic at the best I will ever see them and that depresses me.

     

     

    I hope I am wrong, I have been before…many times, during Mowbrays reign I never thought I would see Celtic in the champion League group stage again but very quickly we went even further, maybe it can happen again.

     

     

    Night is darkest just before the dawn!

     

     

    I think it may get darker for a while yet though…

  31. NegAnon2 on

    Notthebus you are to blame for this shambles. Take yor tongue for Lawwells behind and look about.

  32. dode on

    totally gutted as many of us celtic fans are but the team over the last few seasons has been weakened as we all can see our manager inherited this team what would champions league teams do to us!

  35. TimJim on

    WELL we have to win at least 3-0 or more. If they score 1 and we score 4, extra time will follow. I could go on but will not bore you all. To sum it up “We are fecked” Simple Dot Com. I am usually the eternal optimist but not this time. The only hope I can take from tonight’s result for Ronny, is remember the Armenia result and the success WGS achieved after it. Off to Lanzarote tomorrow, funnily enought we did the same after the afore mentioned result.

    Listened to this game on Shortbread tonight, so mindful of their ecstatic ramblings, I tried to imagine what was really happening. I don’t wish to criticise our manager too early but I can’t help feel he’s out of his depth.

     

     

    Since the day he arrived he’s done nothing but talk about continual development and attacking football. When we were 2-1 down we needed to pull the shutters down and finish the game no worse than 2-1. As much as I like Izzy, he’s an attacking fullback so was not what we really needed. Biton would probably have been a better bet. Then he brought on another attacking player. Griffiths for Commons! Attacking football is great but sometimes you just need to defend.

     

     

    That, sadly, was a woeful defensive performance and that is down to the manager. He is far too obsessed with playing attacking football and too obsessed with theory. I feel his managerial time in Norway has shielded him from the stark realities of what it takes to compete on the European stage.

     

     

    Unfortunately, because he has expressed his theory and vision of the game so strongly and so often, he can hardly come out in public and change it now.

     

     

    It is therefore an awful thing to say so early in the season but my gut tells me we should cut our losses before it goes from bad to worse.

    So if I think the tie is lost it means I don’t love Celtic and I should stay away next week?
