  1. Fatal combination of a cheating referee and a Celtic team not up to the task

     

    Which element of the defeat is of greater significance is up to the individual

     

     

    Efe Ambrose being sent of was a shocking decision IMO, it was not deliberate, intentional or a professional foul, the contact was accidental and minimal indeed it is highly debatable if the Ross County forward would have reached the ball before Craig Gordon, no justification for the sending off as far as i am concerned. we cant argue the Penalty award, however i would like to hear Scotlands top referee explain the difference between the yellow card at pittrodie and the red at hampdump, watch video below

     

     

    Aberdeen v Celtic same referee, yellow card ?

    2nd goal clear foul on Celtic goalkeeper, no question and questions to be asked of the officials why was a goalkeeper manhandled in such a blatant way was missed

     

     

    Over to you Peter…………………………..?????

  2. Canamalar it looks like OCD obsession on

    PL cant retire until he’s got his feet under the SFA and UEFA desks, getting a place man is a long game.

     

    PL for SFA president that’s what I say. And maybe he wont liquidate them either which would be a shame.

  3. The only safe thing to do for Celtic defenders in a situation like yesterday’s penalty/red is to run the opposite way, being careful not to fart in order to avoid receiving a card for ungentlemanly conduct.

  4. Spoke, separately, to five Tims at work this morning.

     

     

    A couple were at the game the rest had watched it on the box.

     

     

    All were agreed on two things:

     

     

    1) This team has no fight

     

     

    2) Deila must now go

     

     

    BTW, before Ambrose was sent off, he should have been on a hat-trick. To me his missing of those two gilt edged chances was as bad as giving Thomson the opportunity to send him off.

    I’ll stick to scrolling and ignoring. Obviously your quoting my previous post word for word was mere coincidence.

    Timalloy. It’s not the no of players we sign is he issue. It’s the quality we have is the problem

     

     

    We have one. Yes one striker

     

     

    No Center halfs. Just projects

     

     

    More average midfielders Than you can shake a stick at

     

     

    ———-

     

    I don’t think there’s much point in continuing this discussion if you are writing Erik Sviatchenko off.

  7. A few bullet points here

     

    . Aberdeen won there titles in the 80s

     

    Because there easnt a strong rangers

     

    .Dundeeutd its won the league

     

    Because there wasn’t a strong rangers

     

    .if Celtic won three trebles it would be because there’s not a strong rangers

    2nd goal clear foul on Celtic goalkeeper, no question and questions to be asked of the officials why was a goalkeeper manhandled in such a blatant way was missed

     

     

    Biggest problem was not clear foul on keeper.

     

    It was two free headers that Ross County took full advantage of.

     

    Hard truth is that defensively Celtic are crap.

  9. Yesterday was what it was a gut punch …. but despite what many say/feel about our manager he was right

     

    we are weak in a fight proved time and time again ……. maybe its just modern European types that we seem to have a squad full of.

     

     

    on a rather more cynical note ….Colin Kazim-Richards i despair with whoever thinks this is a good move

     

    journeyman avg pro ……….

     

     

    just think his wage … coles wage cifci could have a decent strikers wages there

     

     

    i for one dont see the point of getting rid of stokes (baggage or not) proven goal scorer.

     

     

    for the duds named above all i see there is a agent making a few quid

  10. It’s hard to believe that one BBC commentator actually said there was so much wrestling going on in the box it was hard for the referee to see the ‘keeper being held. Even if that was true, wrestling is against the rules. The referee is there to apply the rules, that means to blow his whistle and stop the wrestling. This laddie failed again.

  11. The predictable board beaters are in eh? Wow they must have loved that result yesterday, it’s agenda time, all standing in a line with the big baseball bats getting ready to beat up the board, meanwhile the SFA have cost us another game with more than questionable referee decisions, and PS I’v not mentioned any names, so please no running to the heedy.

  12. no point chasin Ronny out the door when we have a Desmond/Lawell cabal

     

    not interested in making us even able to compete in europe.

     

     

    the games up.

     

     

    im disappointed after yesterday, yes, but surprised, no.

     

    you put a central defence out with efe and boyata with lustig

     

    roaming about at right back you will always lose goals…

     

    but no other team would have had a player sent off for the penalty.

     

    but this doesnt cover up the mess we are in.

     

    too many imposters in this team…one or two wins against

     

    complete SPL dross then another few weeks of turgid displays

     

    then another couple of drubbings and a few of dross…

     

    been the same for the last few years now. not just under ronny.

     

     

    not gonna have a dig at CKR, he is better than cole and cifti.

     

    but we need a defensive mid and another centre half

     

     

    biton was missing again in a big game and simunovic is constantly

     

    injured.

     

     

    for all we can say, think, talk…

     

     

    WE GOT PUMPED IN A SEMI FINAL BY ROSS FUGGIN COUNTY

     

     

    thats not good

  13. Ach! Like Ross County, St. Mirren, Kilmarnock, Morton etc. yesterday was just one of those Celtic off days.

  14. Surely questions should be asked about PL and the PLC.

     

    What the flying feck are they playing at.

     

    These people have put themselves in front of Celtic.

     

    Its about how much money you can get.

     

    But its obvious that you cannot just ignore the wishes of the supporters.

     

    The PLC need to take responsibility for this shambles.

     

    Everybody else has to take responsibility in their lives…Why not the Celtic PLC.

     

    Are they special?

     

    Are they above criticism?

     

    This is what happens….when we allow them to escape responsibility.

     

    They think they can do whatever the feck they like.

     

    Sponges and Leeches.

    Vale bhoy,

     

    what sort of tosh is that, players miss chances all the time, including strikers, I think you just don’t like Efe, in fact going by your previous criticism of him, I know you don’t like him, so anything you have to say on him is best ignored, you can not be objective on him as many on here have shown, Lustig put Efe in the shite and Efe gets the dogs abuse for trying to dig his captain out the shite, typically those who already have it in for Efe will never be able to see anyone else make mistakes as long as Efe is on the shit end of the stick, think Samars.

    One striker. Hmmm…

     

     

    My kid sister reminded me of my thoughts on the Willo Window-after we had lost the league. I said that I couldn’t blame Lawwell for not signing Fletcher as we had three international strikers already. Not his fault they couldnae hit their own arse wi a banjo as we blew a seven point lead.

     

     

    As she said this morning-Three international strikers,and what have we now?

  17. Bmcw

     

     

    As I said, just get your facts right, and your not the only one who posted that, but as you say, you’ll be doing yourself and me a favour if you just keep scrolling and ignoring my posts, but you didn’t do a very good job on my last one, so please try harder.

  18. If we all agree that having a team full of boys that we’ve developed ourselves is ultimately a good idea (and some maybe don’t that’s fine).

     

     

    How long do you think that takes to get going? I’d say at least 5 years, starting from where we were when RD arrived.

     

     

    Are you prepared for that?

  19. Charlie Richmond was a top grade SPL and FIFA referee. He made no honest blunders that I can remember. Yes he did make mistakes, but they seemed to even out over time, which is what real honest mistakes do.

     

     

    He retired aged thirty two or so, after being given few top matches to control. He later revealed that he had been quietly told by a refereeing functionary at the SFA that he didn’t join in things with fellow referees. That therefore he wasn’t one of the good ol’ boys, hence his exclusion. Charlie has remained tight lipped ever since.

     

     

    His story would be interesting. I wonder what “activities” he refrained from joining.

  20. Kazim-Richards – 56 goals in 12 years. Pretty decent stats for a right back. What – he’s a forward?!! Are you kidding me on?

  21. CANAMALAR

     

     

    To blame Efe….is missing the point just ever so slightly.

     

    He was no worse, than Biton,Johansen. Boyata, Lustig.

     

    People want to blame Efe….but dont say anything about PL eh.

     

    Nonsense as usual.

     

    Too many people wrapped up in hero worship of a board of charlatans.

     

    I know where the problem is…..and its not Efe.

  22. another window slips by and whisper it no real quality added to squad after all this is when we need to add for a bedding in period for a champions lge tilt in July

     

     

    i will say it now the squad as it stands wont get us into group stages of champions league

     

     

    then again maybe we are going to try a levin in the qualifiers

     

     

    you know a 3 -6-1 type formation as we have so many midfielders

  23. quonno on 1st February 2016 10:26 am

     

     

    Yes defensive lapses followed i agree, you are choosing to ignore the referee not calling the foul

     

     

    The foul was blatant in its manner and was not hidden from view, shocking punditry such as pushing goes in the box and the referee cant be expected to see everything is complete and utter pash from an a******* of a pundit as Paul Hartley clearly demonstrated last week, the whistle should have been blown and IMO anywhere else in the professional world of football it would have been a foul

  24. canamalar

     

     

    this is something im sure we have agreed on before.

     

    Lustig puts us in bother all he time.

     

    the penalty incident was down to him sleeping and efe having to react to it.

     

    the 3rd goal was again lustig caught out of position…guys every bit as much to blame

     

    every week as efe.

  25. Blame for that result yesterday.

     

    Must go down to a clueless manager, half a dozen non-triers, and a PLC, too busy enriching themselves to notice.

     

    What the feck have we become, that we are being humped by Ross County in a cup semi-final.

     

    Shall we just judge Ronny at the end of the season…again.

     

    FFS we are supposed to be Celtic.

     

    How much worse does it need to get before something is done.

     

     

    HH

  26. Canamalar it looks like OCD obsession on

    It could have been worse, we could have been liquidated yesterday, you should all be thanking your lucky stars.

  27. We will qualify for the CL next year with a decent draw.

     

     

    We will still do the double.

     

     

    We lost yesterday was because we gave Craig Thompson the opportunity to decide the game.

     

     

    We don’t win trebles is because they put more obstacles in the way.

     

     

    It will be all the more sweeter the next time we do it (next year perhaps?)

     

     

    I think next year will be the year we see Ronny’s efforts come to fruition.

     

     

    Hail Hail and Larsson bless you all

  28. By the way, we should have had a pen before the county one.

     

     

    Griff got the ball, knocked the ball to the otherside of the defender, gets round him and got a shot off. The Staggies defender had a handful of Griffs jersey but he didn’t go down and got his shot off.

     

     

    He should have done a swan dive like the County lad

  29. Raman Bhardwaj ‏@STVRaman 6m6 minutes ago

     

    #Celtic striker Nadir Ciftci is en route to Turkey. He’s set to sign a loan deal with Eskisehirspor until the end of the season.

    I agree the defense were posted missing when the ball was headed back to the RC player BUT as lionroars67 says the foul on the keeper is so blatant that the referee should have blown for a freekick before the ball reaches the RC player.

     

    If only we had referees not working to a set agenda.

  31. Tom Boyd is better than SuperSutton on

    LIONROARS67 on 1ST FEBRUARY 2016 10:20 AM

     

     

    Thanks for that link. I guess it’s too easy to say one more deserving a red was a yellow, whilst the one more deserving of a yellow was a red. From the same referee.

     

     

    As for those now slating defending at the corner. Really. Have you not been reading the stats at defending corners. I’m not going to resurrect them. Suffice to say, we don’t lose many, domestically.

     

     

    And remember the keeper is one of those who defends the corner. But he was being held. With two arms round him. He would easily have saved the second header. IMO.

    My mate,lives in Essex now,is a ref in the local leagues. Loves it. He’s in his mid-50s and it’s a hobby to him.

     

     

    He’s 6’4″ so takes little or no crap!

     

     

    I so wish he had taken up the whistle in his early days and gone through the ranks wi the SFA. Wi his background,he’d have been a Grade 1 shoo-in,no problem

     

     

    School,religion,the lot. Ticking the boxes.

     

     

    I’m sure the Masonic bassas would have appreciated the irony of his conversion to über-TIM being a secret!

     

     

    Neil,you missed a trick,bud!!

  33. And here…think about this.

     

    On that performance yesterday, you would have to say that most Scottish teams, would have a decent chance of beating us.

     

    We cant even be sure of beating Ross County, never mind anybody else.

     

    Now…Id suggest that far from good enough.

     

    If any player cannot play for the jersey and the supporters….then get rid.

     

    RD said the team was weak…..whose fault is that then?

     

    Signing s*** players wont improve the team Peter.

     

    How the feck PL gets away with this …I honestly do not know.

     

    You would think that he would be big enough to see his part in the recent failures.

     

    But i bet he isnt.

     

    Easy, Easy money if you can get it eh.

     

    Disgraceful, that nobody will take responsibility.
