  1. Gutted,

     

    I want Celtic to ditch this 4,2,3,1 structure

     

    We do Not have the players to play it Ronny, and you should be able to see that

     

     

    Early flight in morning, so Catch you all later

     

     

    Hail Hail

  2. Really disappointed with that. Only Forrest and Janko get pass marks. Gordon gets more than pass marks even though he was at fault for the first goal, arm ball not withstanding.

     

     

    My magician Bitton lost the plot in the second half. Broonie was nowhere to be seen.

     

     

    Europa League it is. Thursday night fitba followed by Sunday league games. Not good.

  3. Tactics and performance totally unacceptable!

     

     

    We looked like rank amateurs against a lesser team tonight – no excuses.

     

     

    RD had no idea how to address a kitchen-sink effort by poor opponents.

     

     

    Let’s face it – we are marginally above competent outwith Scotland.

     

     

    Pathetic!

  4. We simply weren’t good enough. We lost the key battles, were bereft of ideas and seemed to lack a hunger to see the tie through. I’m disappointed but I’m not going to start playing the blame game. There will be a return to more Sunday games. I’m going to log off now, I’ll see you at the CQN corner on Saturday.

     

     

    C’mon the HOOPS!

  5. Sydney Tim

     

     

    Enjoy your misery.

     

     

    I think you are just a wee tad jealous. Maybe you never got the job ?

     

     

    I would love to hear your workable plan for a sustainable club from a nation like ours.

     

     

    Still nights like tonight must make you feel so much better …

  6. poor performance .. better team go through

     

     

    thursday night …sunday midday it is then

     

     

    not happy ….again poor ref

     

     

    going into the darkest room now, will come out when the slaughterers have had their say

     

     

    goodnight tims

  7. My biggest disappointment was in the poor outing from Stefan Johansen.

     

    What has happened to him this season?

     

    He just had no impact on this game, or few others this season.

     

    James, Armstrong and Griffiths ran their socks off but there was no support.

     

    Time to loosen the purse strings and spend VVD’s transfer fee on a couple of ready made impact players.

     

    We lost three goals in this tie from corner kicks. Unable to counter movement from them or attack the second ball.

  8. 4 goals conceded over the tie, 3 goals from set pieces, amateur defending, lacking organisation and conviction, management team need to address this problem ASAP as it is continuing to hold the team back

     

     

    Malmo a team assembled for between 2-3 million pounds wanted it more, they were a level above in terms of game intelligence, and were clearly better coached

     

     

    I have always judged Celtic teams by European results, the sad fact at this level we aren’t good enough including the coaching team

     

     

    Superb support from the travelling support really feel for the Bhoys and Ghirls in Sweden

     

     

    Good night CQN……….ignore the trolls

  9. Celticrollercoaster supporting Shay,our bhoy wonder along the way on

    A tale of 4 halves.

     

     

    Great, poor, poor and very poor.

     

     

    Team showed no character or fighting spirit in second half tonight. Complete Jekyll and Hyde performance from first half last week.

     

     

    Really disappointed tonight, the best team won.

    Well beaten by Cpl minnows/also rans at absolute best. Any run at all I ‘d take in the Europa league. ST J on Saturday. This is where we’re at. Can’t think of a way out of it.

  11. cliftonville celt from belfast on

    Slow build up play

     

     

    No midfield imagination or spark

     

     

    No urgency and our central defenders dictating play

     

     

    1 up front

     

     

    This is not Celtic

     

     

    Could you imagine us against Madrid Munich & Barca ? We are nowhere near that level we would be nailed to the floor

     

     

    Can’t defend corners or throw ins

     

     

    Complete rethink required here

     

     

    I want Ronny to succeed but he’s going to have to be more flexible

     

     

    I hate feeling so negative but seen that coming a mile bring on the Europa league and make a big push because by God we need challenged playing in the SPFL is killing us year after year

  12. I’ve got an early flight in the morning too. Better go pack. See you all at Celtic Park on Saturday.

  13. The most painful aspect is the spineless halfhearted performance from the players. With a few exceptions it is very hard to understand why the players did not perform tonight.

  14. Burnley78 on 25th August 2015 9:41 pm

     

     

    Aye, it was the fans’ fault. FFS

     

    Celtic fans were outstanding last week.

  15. Those having a go at Ronny get a grip of yourselves. He’s 39 years old, has been thrust into this with half a squad of junk left by the previous manager, and had virtually pennies to sort it out. He needs to learn a few things but a few players let him down big time tonight, Virgil, Johansen and Brown in particular.

  16. Beat by a team at the later stages of their season, for many that won’t matter but in fact it showed quite clearly as it did last week. They were fitter faster and harder but still can’t fathom why we did not a

     

    Preach this the same as the qarabag game.

     

     

    Small mercy being we did not need the European money to stave off administration and liquidation. So lurking huns need to be reminded of this little detail while they gloat at our misfortune the same club in effect killed off their club :)

  17. That was no fun, vvd thanks for the memories you’ll have a good career,

     

     

    wee Forrest done well

     

     

    and mulgrew continues to prove himself not good enough

     

     

    disappointed but I’ll attend the Europe league games

     

     

    hh

  18. Buy SPL/Dundee Utd players and that bhoys and ghirls is what you get. Crap.

     

     

    Hail! Hail!

  19. Hugh Bonkle fae Dallas on

    And the wheels come off the Ronny Deila experiment. P67 reckons Malmo were scared of our height, not when they were scoring from corners apparently. Ffs I could accept it more easily if they had carved us open twice. But 2 goals from corners, deary me.

     

    Absolutely not good enough at this level. Will we ever get back there again? Seems out of reach at the moment.

  20. One other thing

     

     

    It means a lot of Sunday football for us as well :-(

     

     

    Hail Hail

  21. Called correctly after the first leg by most posters that support Celtic on CQN, chances nothing more than 50/50, turned out wasn’t even nearly that close, and 3-1 at CP flattered Celtic, but only for a few minutes. The heart break bad decision that follows Celtic like a bad smell, always has to be factored in, with a perfectly good goal disallowed, but that wasn’t the difference between us and the Swedish champions.

     

     

    Malmo are infinitely better prepared for the CL than Celtic and they were easily the superior side over two legs, the Blog will be avoided at all costs, but I hope ‘all sftb’s anhedonists turn out like fannies ‘

     

     

    Wasn’t happy with the line up and thought is was a mistake to swap your left back for the ‘utility man’, Scott Brown was targeted and completed marked out of the game, they allowed Bitton room, he wasted it, and Stefan Johansen had yet another mare. The great white hope James Forrest was double marked into anonymity, Stuart Armstrong will flatter to deceive all over again in the Europa league, ( which I’ve declared tonight, outwith my budget )

     

     

    Malmo technically superior with ‘arguably’ lesser players, a bit like Legia, Maribor, Salzburg, Artemedia and a host of others in our recent history, it’ll be rough for Celtic fans, those that support that is, and the Daily Record will have VVD on a straight flight from Stockholm to Southampton priced 6 million, then the board bashers can have open season.

     

     

    ‘Pig’ sick csc

     

     

    p.s thought Janko played well for a lad of just 19 summers.

  22. Talking to the Minx there I said,

     

     

    “The last time I felt this low after a European performance was Basle in 2002. On the back of that came Seville”.

     

     

    Her reply,

     

     

    “Aye but that season we had Hartson, Sutton, Larsson, Petrov etc. Now we’ve got Johansen, Ciftci, GMS etc.

     

     

    And do you know what? She’s right.

     

     

    On the plus side I’ve just purchased my tickets for Aberdeen away.

  23. Sick to the pit of ma gut.

     

    Appropriate given our gutless performance.

     

    We can bleat all we want about a disallowed goal but the truth is we are diminishing every year. Year on year.

     

     

    Neganon is right.

     

     

    We’ve cut too much, invested in dross and hope to win big by flogging a player or 2.

     

     

    Lawwell must go.

     

    Was our major shareholder at the game?

     

     

    Wouldn’t think so.

     

     

    Absolute scandal

  24. A massive failing for all concerned

     

     

    2-0 tie should have been over, 3-1 tie should have been over.

     

     

    Dodgy keeper, dodgly defence and we don’t even carve out a decent chance.

     

     

    Two bog standard set pieces, two goals.

     

     

    Poor poor night for all concerned

  25. Well…..too many of our players did not perform.

     

     

    Motivation?

     

     

    Tactics?

     

     

    Organisation?

     

     

    Maybe a bit of everything.

     

     

    1 thing is for sure to me now…….Id say Ronny has a blueprint of how a game should be, but if it works out a bit different from the scenarios he coaches for then the team are pretty clueless and do not have enough leaders and organisers to adapt to the situation that they are presented with and most importantly…….i dont think Ronny has a clue about how to change what he set them out to do when it goes wrong.

  26. JimmyQuinnsBits on

    I’ve usually tried to take the positive longer term view, but that was pish.

     

     

    We can’t have any excuses, our goal shouldve stood, but it wouldve been lipstick on a pig – well beaten tonight. Out thought, out fought, and tactically naive…. Again

  27. DRAMBOWIECELT

     

     

    Sorry pal I’m not turning on anyone just telling it like it is.

     

     

    The fans are being taken for a ride & if you are honest with yourself then you’ll see this too.

     

     

    It’s not a nice thing to say about the club I love but without proper investment & instead continuing to make SPFL standard signings or even SPFL standard signings like Scott Allan (nothing against the boy). Then it’s going to be a long long time before we make the CPL group stages again.

  28. Well we are not good enough to compete at a higher level, JC was right about our league not helping.

     

    Scottish football gives us a false opinion of ourselves,but that’s where we are..

     

    The manager has done well upto now so hopefully this is a learning curve for him.His biggest mistake was playing Mulgrew who is well short of what our standard should be,but that is my opinion ,it’s not his fault .

     

    Europa League here we come.

  29. It was the lack of fight that really annoyed me tonight. I can take poor performance but I can’t take knowing they’d a dodgy defence and we hardly tested them.

     

     

    Our central midfield was missing in action.

  30. Can’t see many positives at present. We should have cuffed them at home 2-0 up . Johansen through on keeper – poor attempt at a finish. For me the turning point of the tie.

    O.k then, what is a Champions League level team? That’s quite an interesting question. Some teams do pretty well in the CL without spending lots of money and play in small leagues. I don’t really care about playing in the CL. Celtic are a great club, we need to think where we are going though. We won the European Cup with lads born all within a half hour drive of Celtic Park. That should be the blue print. We’re a small country, but we’ve punched above our weight before, and we can do so again.
