Ronny, this is your starting point

1151

Ronny Deila seems to be more upset at the poor performance yesterday than I was. My expectation on hearing the team matched what we saw. We have taken big steps to turn things around in recent weeks but, Ronny, this is your starting point, and it’s not as high as you might have thought.

Hopefully we’ll be back to something more recognisable as a full squad on Wedenesday, including Wakasooooooo.

Blog on the go this week, email delays too.

    See when you last got a slap on the wrist for discussing your nostalgia for the days when miscegination was restricted to master:slave shenanigans and not for the likes of the po’ folks??

     

     

    See when you apologised for that and promised never to do it again??

     

     

    And then you did it again??

     

     

    And then you laughed at doing it again, with your invented pal??

     

     

    Were you being a corner boy?

  3. My friends in Celtic,

     

     

    It is said that “swearing” displays a lack of vocabulary. Personally I don’t agree as in conversation it often seems the correct choice in the right environment.

     

     

    However to type it out on here displays a lack of consideration to our host and reflects on the poster, devaluing any point he / she is trying to make.

     

     

    There is no shock impact value only ignorance.

    “if poor language keeps going Kojo (or at least one of his personas) takes a bath….”

     

     

    I wish my swearing vocabulary was more proficient. I might need to take lessons from one of our more potty-mouthed multi-lingual swearers.

     

     

    Even if I used every one I knew in every language known to man, I doubt I’d reach the level of offence that racist talk brings.

    I see the Scottish people are getting it in the neck from our resident right wing cheeky boy.

     

     

    You talkin bout Philvis? I’m a cheeky man.

     

     

    Indeed, I’m quick to get offended by yours slurs of Scottish women.

     

     

    My dear friend in Celtic, if you wish to be offended, I won’t stop you. Every man has a right to be offended. Be as offended as your heart desires.

     

     

    And before you tell me it was just a wee joke and to lighten up,

     

     

    It was a wee joke, and at the expense of the Orange-utan idiots in George Square the other night.

     

     

    I genuinely would like to see Scottish Wummin Fur Independence get tore into them. The No Surrenderers wouldn’t stand a chance. An angry Scottish wummin is more dangerous than a leopardess with a shark sellotaped to her back.

     

     

    You and Ernie Lynch, may, or may not be the same person, but a common disdain of the Scots is evident and your posting styles curiously similar.

     

     

    1) I am Scottish.

    Cheers mate, no more 5:30am rises or getting home after 7pm for the forseeable future. I didn’t purchase the EL 3 game package as I wouldn’t be home till after 12 and would have been shaterred for work the next day so really at the moment :)))

    Sorry, I forgot to ask:

    Two years? How big was this ladder? (thumbsup)

  14. Swearing?

     

     

    When i played with my high school team, our Rector managed it and he tried to make us aware of our langauge and asked us not to blaspheme as we were representing a Catholic school and should set an example to the other schools we played.

     

    Being silly wee boys we ran about in our next game saying things like…..”steady on old chap” and “oh my” etc, etc, in our poshest voices when any of us were kicked :)

  15. Paul, I have been putting off submitting my thoughts since after the first Legia Warsaw game, hoping my reaction was of the knee-jerk variety, but I now think enough game time has passed to feel it is not.

     

     

    Firstly,I have to query the board’s ability to assess mangers for the job. Dermot Desmond selected GS and MON. The board selected TM and got it hideously wrong. Most of us watched horrified through our fingers as NL got the job after a four month trial, but it turned out to be a reasonable/lucky appointment, no better than that, and not to be unkind, this was definitely partly down to the demise of our biggest opponents. I find myself wondering if this is why NL now finds himself struggling to secure a post in England.

     

     

    Next, and I know there was not an extensive candidate list, the board appoints someone with no knowledge of Scottish or European football, and thrust upon him an ‘assistant’ with a titanic ego and a track record in failure. John Collins may have enjoyed a good and financially-rewarding football career, but he is not a winner. Tell me, when the chips were down, as a player, coach or manager, when did John Collins ever turn a situation around single-handed? I cannot think of one. And before anyone mentions the game at Ibrox where SDM banned the Celtic support, we scored first, so he was not rescuing anything that day.

     

     

    Yesterday, when we were crying out for some consistency of selection, for a team to start taking shape and mould itself into a cohesive unit after a decent team performance in midweek, our manager elects to make six changes, injuries notwithstanding, and then blames them for not functioning as a team.

     

     

    His signings, if they are his, are looking worse than those he shipped. Tonev, Berget, Scepovic already look like they will not cut the mustard, To be fair, Wakasso looks a good player and Guidetti needs more time. Johansson seems to have regressed since last season, Darnell Fisher cannot get a look in at right back even though we are crying out for one in the wake of injuries to Matthews and Lustig, Liam Henderson cannot get a sniff, McGregor is being asked to carry far too much responsibility, and so on it goes.

     

     

    Unthinkable at the beginning of the season, the league title is looking in jeopardy. Plc Boards are paid to make big decisions, and I think they have one to make now. Do they persevere with something that is not showing any true signs of progress, or do they cut and run now, leaving plenty of time for a new appointee to catch up in the league and identify what personnel changes will and can be made in January? If we limp on from now until mid-January hoping it will somehow get better, I fear the worst, in the Europa league, but more importantly in the SPFL.

     

     

    It will be acutely embarrassing for Celtic to replace a management team after such a short period in charge, but infinitely less embarrassing to do it at a point where the league championship is all but lost to Dundee United or Aberdeen.

     

     

    And before I am accused of going off a bit previous, does anybody think Jackie McNamara, Paul Hartley, or heck, even Derek MacInnes would be doing this badly?

     

     

    Sometimes the solution is right in front of you. Time to act.

  16. I really like RD and am desperate for him to succeed. I really don’t want to be critical but he’s making it hard for me!

    I wonder if Rony thinks or is advised before he opens his mouth and gives the MSM the sound bytes they are after.He is saying he wants to play the deid team this season.I think this would be against the views of a large number of the Celtic support.Rony I want to support you but your making it difficult with your comments I advise you to seek advice about the feelings of the Celtic support before you give the press your words of wisdom.H.H.

    Remarkable restraint when a spontaneous sweary outburst would be soooo much easier!

     

     

    I always remember a moment with my old man when i was very young.

     

    He was standing right in front of me and for some reason i thought it was a good idea to whack him right between the legs, which reduced him to about the same height as me!

     

     

    Watch out for that one eh?!

  28. Bada, Eddie clink\o/

     

     

    Apologies for not responding sooner re Henrik from last post, i had to pop out for a while, on holiday. Eddie you asked on his record had a check and it is poor to say the least, sitting 2nd bottom at the moment with 5 to play. At the time of the speculation one thing always stuck with me was the chairman of the Swedish club saying that Henrik has promised that he will not leave us in mid season, even Larsson himself said the timing of the Celtic approach did not suit him. I agree with Bada and clink\o/ this would not be a football appointment, purely box office but unless RD shows a dramatic improvement, I believe it will happen.
