  2. embramike says "the Huns are Deid" on

    Have read many excellent posts about last night’s disappointment which outline our current problems at Champions League level – and the usual blame merchants and trolls who single out individual players and management, and don’t contribute anything constructive to the debate.

     

     

    So my catharsis will be looking forward – I can’t affect anything that happened last night.

     

     

    We are, depending on results over tonight / tomorrow, in Pot 2 or 3 for Europa Cup group stages, where we will have a better chance to re-establish our European credentials. We could possibly face Dortmund, Spurs, Monaco, Southhampton, Liverpool, Ajax or Napoli, all which would be exciting games, home and away.

     

     

    All true Celtic fans will ante up and support the teams at these games – Celtic are Celtic and Europe is Europe.

     

     

    Also over the next week (until transfer window closes at 6pm on Tuesday next, 1st September) we should see more incomings and departures which will change the look of our squad.

     

     

    There is so much speculation about signings and players leaving, I will stick to what we’ve done so far as listed below:

     

     

    Transfers in

     

    Dedryck Boyata 24 (Manchester City) Contract to 2019 (£1.5 million)

     

    Nadir Çiftçi 23 (Dundee United) Contract to 2019 (£1.3 million)

     

    Logan Bailly 29 (OH Leuven) Contract to 2018 (£250k)

     

    Saidy Janko 19 (Manchester United) Contract to 2019 (£200k)

     

    Scott Allan 23 (Hibs) Contract to 2019 (£275k)

     

     

    Transfers out

     

    Adam Matthews 23 (Sunderland) Transfer (£2 million)

     

    Teemu Pukki 25 (Brøndby IF) Transfer (£500k)

     

    John Herron 21 (Blackpool) Transfer (Free)

     

    Hólmbert Friðjónsson 22 (KR Iceland) Transfer (Free)

     

    Jackson Irvine 22 (Ross County) Transfer (Development fee)

     

    Dylan McGeouch 22 (Hibs) Transfer (Undisclosed)

     

    Amido Balde 24 (FC Metz) Contract Terminated (Free)

     

    Joe Chalmers 21 (Motherwell) End of contract (Free)

     

    Łukasz Załuska 33 (Free Agent) End of contract (Free)

     

     

    Loans out

     

    Darnell Fisher 21 (St Johnstone) Season loan

     

    Michael Duffy 20 (Alloa) 6 month loan

     

    Connor McManus19 (Alloa) Season Loan

     

    Paul McMullan 19 (St. Mirren) Season Loan

     

    Calum Waters 19 (Dumbarton) Season Loan

     

    Jamie Lindsay 19 (Dumbarton) 6 month loan

     

    Liam Henderson 19 (Hibs) Season loan

     

    Stuart Findlay 19 (Kilmarnock) Season Loan

     

     

    Loans ended

     

    Jason Denayer (Manchester City)

     

    John Guidetti (Manchester City)

     

    Aleksandar Tonev (Aston Villa)

     

    Wakaso Mubarak (Rubin Kazan)

     

     

    PS – just one comment about tactics – yet again – why zonal marking at corners? Since when did an empty space score a goal ? And how many forwards with momentum knock the ball over the line?

    I remember being crushed in crowds which official figures suggested left room for me to get out a folding chair and a table for my cans.

    Might as well then, as you seem to have all the answers.

     

     

    ==============================================

     

     

    No.

     

    That was…..LENNON’S PASSION on 26TH AUGUST 2015 11:22 AM DEILA OUT

     

    I just agreed.

     

    Remember?

  5. I heard he was dead on

    If we sacked the manager we’d just get another young manager keen to make an impression who the board could tell this is your budget, here are your new players/ projects and then wait until he resigned frustrated as Lenny did.

     

     

    I am not convinced by Deila. I think he is stubborn and tactically poor.

     

     

    Remember bringing on Tonev in the semi-final?

     

     

    The team has not played scintillating football since they beat Dundee United 6-1 in his early days.

     

     

    Winning a one team league and a cup was the bare minimum expected of him.

     

     

    I really don’t know what the answer is.

    I believe that last night was our first defeat since February and now we need to sack the manager?

     

     

     

     

     

     

    Hunbelieveable indeed!

     

     

    I wouldn’t advocate such a knee jerk reaction, but I’m sure in my own mind about one thing.

     

     

    The difference between two evenly matched teams was the managers. The preparation tactically and in team selection was a hands down victory for Hareide.

    Macjay

     

    You have been bumping your gums for some time about getting rid of RD, yet you offer feck all as a solution.

     

    Go on, tell us what the answer is,

     

    Get another project in, cos that’s all that will come to a club who are not prepared to spend wages on quality.

  10. auld bertie on

    Didn’t realise Peter Lawwell was playing last night, he really should have done better at corners, especially with that envious head of hair. If Sydney Tim et al paid 10% attention to their respective partners as theydo to Peter Lawwell they are so lucky.

  11. Nye Bevans' rebel soldier on

    They stats say zonal making works apparently,I have never liked

     

    it,as the old adage go’s….yer back 4 mark anybody, somebody,

     

    nobody and everybody.

  12. Captain Beefheart on

    I get fed up with the lazy assertion that a Tony Donnelly (only an example Tony, not having a go at you) is a bigger supporter than some of our more critical posters.

     

     

    The lazy jibes about huns and trolls indicates an inability to defend the current state of Celtic with argument.

  13. ger57 on

    Some of the blame for last night lies with the referee. He allowed Rosenburg free rein to lead with his elbows at every high ball. He was worse than McCulloch ffs.

     

    If a Celtic player so much as looked sideways at an opponent, the yellow card came out. I’m amazed Griffiths stayed on the park following his knee to that chap’s groin.

     

    We needed more street smarts last night. I still say our players are better, except Mulgrew, who was atrocious. Ronny needs to wise up a little. Buy a couple of Bertie Auld types. They would have ended a man or two short had Bertie been on the park. Guaranteed!

     

    Still be there Saturday. HH and KTF

    I’ve mentioned this one before,but as I was converting my best pal to Happy Hoooopiness,we played Dundee Utd in a crucial Saturday game.

     

     

    We won 2-1,a highlight of which was Danny McGrain literally kicking the ball out of the park when we were up against it.

     

     

    Train home,he said the crowd must have been similar to a hun match.

     

     

    Nope,I replied. 37,000. Lots of priests. You’ll learn.

     

     

    He did. Still full of Happy Hoopiness,he is. Though I’ve not spoken to him about last night yet!

  18. Clashcitybhoy on

    Can I take a quick time out from last night to thank Eric Riley for all his work at CP , and to wish him every success in the future.

  19. leftclicktic on

    Told the weemhan this morning we were going to the game on Saturday

     

    “woooooooooooooohoooooooooooo,Celtic Celtic ,Mum I’m going to see the Celtic”

     

    Not a mention of Malmo ,Champions league,What cup or league we are playing in just THE Celtic.

     

    As his life and edcation in the Celtic family continues , he is learning me as much as I am him.

    I always try to be measured in my reaction, but last night that is honestly the worst I’ve felt after a defeat. Not only because it had all the classic ingredients of our exits in the recent era – – > slow start, shaky in possession, a ludicrous refereeing decision, a sense of foreboding from the first few minutes…….. etc etc

     

     

    It’s also because I’ve been a huge fan of Ronny from day 1. He gets the football club, and if he is supported in the right way i think he’ll be a huge success. I haven’t seen a performance like the away leg in Baku from us in a long time – steely, clever, confident, everyone on the park taking responsibility for getting us up the pitch – young guys like Biton playing like the most experienced guy on the field. It was the most satisfying “ugly performance” from us in years.

     

     

    The first 30 mins last Wednesday was what we’ve been looking for since Ronny arrived – albeit against relatively average opposition. I think if we played malmo 10 times over 2 legs we would win 8/9 of those ties. Unfortunately a lack of concentration at set pieces has cost us over the 2 legs. Even after one of the flattest performances in recent times, we may well have snuck through without that shocking decision to end all shocking decisions (from 2 different sets of eyes)

     

     

    Unfortunately as a club we have more eggs in the same basket than probably any other club on the planet. Ronny and the players are being judged on incredibly small margins over a handful of games each year. This isn’t an excuse, but it does make their jobs so much more difficult under that kind of pressure.

     

     

    I don’t begrudge anyone who bemoans the lack of investment from the board. I am partly glad that we have safeguarded the long term financial health of the club. Short term investment has to increase however. On the playing front we have to learn to accept our financial lot until the inevitable crash in the unsustainable English model (that Paul67 has written so eloquently on recently) arrives, and the balance may be redressed.

     

     

    Until then I still think Ronny is the man to take us forward. Last night is so painful because of the limited opposition and their antics over the 2 weeks. I accept he’s going to get pelters for last night, but I would probably start with the same 11 if we had to play the game again tonight. The substitutions unfortunately added little, and the prospect of failing at this hurdle again ultimately took the wind out of our sails. To completely write the team/manager off is misguided.

     

     

    We’ll go again, we will get back to where we belong, we might just have to be more patient than we thought…….

     

     

    Off to check flights – I’ve heard Basel is lovely in May……………

    Please don;t blame the referee the majority of our players were nowhere near up for it on the night and were beaten by a better unit who would have run through brick walls to win for their team.

    Paul / Winning Captains – I think after a defeat in Europe we need to have mods on here. Some of the comments after the game last night were shocking. I would imagine there were a few hun trolls on to wind us up but some of the comments from so called Celtic supporters were just as bad.

     

     

    Obviously people were hurting, but an irregular poster on here tried to make a joke about Eric Riley on the day it was announced he was stepping down due to Parkinson’s disease, sorry but to me you are a Celtic hun mate. To make a joke like that shows you up for what you are. No excuses even if you were mangled on a school night.

     

     

    Still sore but still woke up a Celtic supporter….

    Btw,lazy journalism includes the assertion that we were unbeaten since February until last night.

     

     

    Did we miss Celtic winning the treble?

     

     

    Oh,sent Philbhoy a mail earlier. Told him about The Icon and that I’d explain at a later date!

  26. THE EXILED TIM on

    Thinking back to when we were blessed that the crossbar stopped us from going out against Karagandy.

     

    We got the CL money, and imo, it was wasted.

     

    Last season to placate the support, Gudetti and Scepovic were brought in, another waste imo.

     

    Money would have been better spent on a couple of old heads, pay them top $,

    THE EXILED TIM on 26TH AUGUST 2015 11:50 AM

     

     

    Deila is a failure and a very expensive one.

     

    Is that really arguable?

     

    The first priority is he must go.

     

    Until that step is taken,there can be no possibility of progress.

     

    The other problems can be handled in time.

     

     

    Still intrigued why you didn`t take this up with Lennon`s Passion.

     

    He deserves the credit.Not me.

  29. lleddil on

    Shocked by a few extreme views on here. Malmo played like they were 20 games into their season and in front of a passionate crowd beat Celtic mentally and physically over 90 minutes. They beat Salzburg by more!!!! Learning from it and working out what to do won`t be a problem for good players as there will be opponents like them in the EL. Tough to smile however.

  30. timbhoy3 on

    Maybe Dermot Desmond’s needs to sell his shares.but who with plenty of money could buy them.we here all the time about real rangers men millionaires.billionaires.no jokes about Craig Whyte.but there dosent seem to be Celtic Supporters with a lot of cash.or are they.and if there is who are they.
