  1. Good to see that many/some remain positive.

     

     

    La Vuelta time for me.

     

     

    Cheerio for now.

    If Starfelt and Welsh continue to play as they did today, Julienn wont get back in the team. Ralston continues to impress and juranovic looks good. Hoping Scales can make it, but Montgomery looks a real prospect too. A 23 yr old McCarthy is exactly what we need, but dont know how good he is now. Turnbull needs some conditioning work, was done by half time, Christie can go. What can you say about eddie? Truly hopeless. Please go. We dont need much to get back on top, an aggressive, gifted midfielder and another attacking option.

    Says nearly all I want to say from what I saw today. Just to add let’s not write mc carthy off just yet but also find another big athletic midfielder to add to the squad that way we can let Ryan Christie leave and push Calmac further up the park. It looks to me like Turnbull and Rogic are incapable of 90 mins so use one to start the game and one to finnish it. What if big Jullien breaks down when he comes back wee really need another big 6ft 6in centre half hard as nails type.As far as Eddie is concerned he and his agent should be TOLD they have two days to find him a new club or he will be given the treatment his friend Ollie got. To get money for him would be nice but to get him to f*** would be even better.

     

     

    I really believe Ange was told to play Eddie today and that due to him starting young Abada had no one to play off.

  3. Hi Bhoys

     

     

    I also meant to say hello again and thank you for a great afternoon to all the bhoys I met at the hoot yesterday. You know who you are. THE LURKIN TIM I hope your nettle stings have calmed down. If that was you just getting home when you posted that you either got lost or put in some shift. See you all again.

     

     

    KEEP THE FAITH

    Fattys too important to how they play for them to sell now. They are stuck in the catch 22 where they need to sell players to keep solvent but can’t do it without having a serious impact on their on-field chances. Winning the first league is the easy part.

     

     

    Our sellable asset was a bit of a liability today, there’s the difference. I don’t think we’ll miss this version of Eddie if he goes

    Onlooker – I call him Shop Window Christie.

     

     

    Hopefully he’s gone by Wednesday.

    I read a book review about this event a couple of weekends ago and now I cant find it. I wanted to buy the book.

     

     

    Fascinating though.

     

     

    An epic ride in the shadow of Julián Berrendero, who spent 18 months in a Franco concentration camp, then put two fingers up to the dictator by winning the race

    Our midfield was too lightweight going to Ibrox, soon as I saw the team thought that was our weak point, was kinda hoping McCarthy could help us out there, and probably we should have played Soro instead of RC, ah well, hopefully Ange learns from this one for the next one, no worries, its only August.

  8. I’m trying to be positive and ignoring the personal invective that has crept into the afternoon posts.

     

    I thought we mostly dominated the first half, despite a lot of very slack passing in midfield.

     

    How did Eddie contrive to miss what has to be deemed an absolute sitter?

     

    We should have been ahead at the break despite a performance which didn’t match our prior games against admittedly inferior opposition.

     

    Our much maligned defence was on top but the front units did not match their authority.

     

    Juranovic looked comfortable, Ralston is performing more like David Hay with each passing game, Welsh is going to be a pillar in the very near future while Starfelt looks like he is gaining confidence and composure. Hart seems to be able to inspire his defenders, though I am a wee bit concerned that he doesn’t put himself about at set pieces.

     

    We have 10 days to reflect, recoup and recharge for a busy period of games through to Christmas.

     

    I’m sure Ange will use it to bed in Juranovic effectively, get McCarthy fully fit, work to fit Scales into the picture and instill some confidence in Abada.

     

    Who will be entering and leaving the revolving door? I hope we get a proven goalscorer to replace Eddie, a box to box midfielder to replace Christie and a central defender to add to what we have.

     

    The outlook is bright. The future is green and white.

  9. Disappointed after todays result and a few of my bubbles burst ,however a lot can be learned in defeat and I believe we have the manager to do so ,never thought I would say this but in the interest of both camps it is time for Eddie to move on

     

    HH

  10. Disappointed but for once quietly confident.

     

    Abada didn’t work today .,having Ralston behind him on this occasion was not experienced enough ,Juvonovic would had been a better option

     

    The sooner we get McGregor further forward to play passes to Kyogko the better .

     

    We are not far away ,let them have their day ours is coming

  11. The Blogger Formerly Known As GM on

    Whilst we all want to see players coming in, we’ve got to get Bolongoli, Barkas and Griffiths out the door. There’s no need to replace these guys as they don’t feature, contribute nothing and will not be missed.

     

     

    Christie and Edouard need to be replaced.

     

     

    Get rid of these 5, replace the latter 2 plus a left back and I’d consider that an exceptional window. There’s more to do but Rome wasn’t built in a day.

  12. 2nd try 😡

     

    My own opinion on Celtic as we currently find ourselves

     

    Firstly today’s game

     

    What a brilliant debut by Juranovic, hope he can keep that level of performance up 👏👏👏

     

    Back 5 and McGregor all competed well today

     

    Pity the rest of midfield and forwards didn’t

     

    Abada absolutely anonymous

     

    Kyogo, how often did he have the ball away when playing wide left ? As often as Christie & Turnbull.

     

    Odsonne played as already gone.

     

    Looked much much better when Kyogo went through the middle

     

    Although his decision making needs questioned on 2 of his 3 chances

     

     

    And a reality check

     

    Tactics today, can someone explain the huge difference from today over past 18 months ? Backward passes and across the back line

     

    We have now lost our 4 key games away from home – so what is changing here ??

     

    Sorry, still nowhere near good enough for My Celtic

     

    Hey but we scored 6 against St Mirren and Dundee

     

    For me one decent result against 1 decent team – home win against AZ (in AZ 2nd game of season)

     

     

    Still much to be done Celtic

  13. PS – still a lot to be done this transfer window

     

    Odsonne and Ryan to go

     

    Can we move

     

    Griffiths, Ajeti (even though he looked more interested recently), BolingolI & Barkas or Bain

     

     

    Looks like Giakoumakis is arriving along with Jota

     

    Could Lovric join them and a big powerful Centre Half or left back ???

    The difference was that for the first half and last ten minutes we didn’t play like that. We were poor after half time fir half an hour when it looked like the old Celtic but before and after that we moved the ball forward quickly.

    Juranovic should be our right back ,Ralston has done well but is limited.

     

    We need McGregor in a forward position .

     

    We need a dictator in the mid field,is Mc Carthy the answer,not sure .

     

    Would Moey ? Be the answer ?

     

    I like Montgomery,but what is his best position.?

     

    The Griff has let us down big time .

  18. Congrats to Hopeful Hoops in maintaining and extending his lead in the Superbru predictor.

     

     

    Big Georges Fan Club won the round for this week

     

     

    And Leggy has a firm grip on last place but Magnificentseven and Hutchbhoy were bottom of htis week’s round of matches.

     

     

    With the International Break depriving us of real football, our next deadline is 12.30pm on Saturday 11th September when Sevco are due to go to Perth and get cuffed.

    We created 1 effort in a dominated first half, the fluffed Odsonne effort

     

    Sevco stood off us, we did not take advantage

     

     

    We Can agree on last 10 mns with Kyogo through middle

     

    3 good chances created

  22. Ryan was like a man down today,and he was always blaming others.drop him ,until a change of attitude.

     

    Or mibees get rid.This is no time for passengers who think they are better than what they actually are.

     

    IMHO of course.

     

    We have the makings here,drop the shysters.

     

    Winners win things ,whingers lose things.

     

    Me thinks Ange is a winner.

     

    Wont be fooled for long {who CFC)

  23. Oh

     

    Celtic should pull all our players from International football next 10 days

     

    Spend time with Ange on rebuilding confidence in our Club and team

    The last part of your post made me chuckle, however, I think Mr Wright’s protege , Davidson, will ensure that his team will not go full throttle, as apposed to how he winds his team against us, (see Murray Davidson)

     

     

    As an aside thank you for yesterday, absolutely brilliant, please send on my regards to CCB.

  25. Early doors Morelos was presented with a good chance created from the left but while he was “marked” by Juranovic. Had time but poor effort on goal.

     

    Still in the first half Aribo loses Juranovic, via some interpassing around the left back area.

     

    First half still Juranovic loses Roofe at or near the half way line… this leads to Kent hitting his right hand post…

     

    Later in the first half Juranovic gives ball away with a forward pass, to Turnbull I think, leading to a counter attack. Similar plays in the second half.

     

    That’s just from watching the highlights. Now if that is him playing well, not looking forward to seeing him off his game. Will cut him some slack, he is a right back, and it showed, but on this performance, better than Greg Taylor at left back he aint. And he does not add much physically either, not compared to Ralston. Maybe Greg’s critics are seeing an improvement which was not on show today.

    So why was McCarthy not on the bench today?

     

     

    Can’t believe we have not beat them in the last 7 attempts, losing 6. Hope Ange changes this form soon!!
