  1. What is the Stars on

    David 17

     

    Right now i wouldn’t be too concerned about Brendan Rodgers.

     

    If he wants to go…let him

     

    But I won’t be driving him to the airport myself

  2. BR describes us passive.

     

     

    Passivity is unforgivable. closing down the opposition requires zero, appropriate application.

  3. Here’s a idea, why don’t we play twa upfront.

     

     

    Here’s another, why no tell wingers tae go ootside there opponent fir feck sake!.

     

     

    Brendan honest as usual.

     

     

    A gid man.

     

     

    Hail hail.

  4. i'vehadtochangemyname on

    This may be celtic heresy but do we not have to stop telling the players that they only won euro ties because it was in CP and that it is a special place- the follow on from that is if you take the CP out of the player then they cannot win.

  5. Big Georges Fan Club - Hail, Hail, Wee Oscar on

    Hello this is WEE BGFC. Buggar. Keeper was crap, Lustig had a nightmare. Let’s deal with something but. I do not agree with all this “disappointing european campaign” bull. We need to remember where we are. I mean, we’ve just got into the Champions League group stage 4 times in 6 years, that’s a good strike rate! People just expect too much too soon. The performance last Thursday was exactly what Brendan’s been looking for since he started – to go tow-to-tow with a top class European team. You can say that our results were good under Lenny in Europe but – let’s be honest – we parked the bus and hoped for a break-away or a corner. Brendan wants us to finally compete with these teams while playing our own game, to go into a game against Barcelona or Real Madrid and be counted as equals. Our day will come comrades! Keep The Faith!

  6. GlassTwoThirdsFull on

    My main concern is the lack of learning.

     

    We concede the same goals every time – off-the-ball movement and set pieces or crosses. De Vries very poor for second, but the guy who scored had acres of space.

     

    Our attacking play is far too one-paced and predictable. Ball being played back without even looking to see if anything is on ahead. Movement is all short towards the ball. Griffiths gives you a bit more in behind, but when he’s out there’s nothing.

     

    We are making the title a far more difficult task than it should be.

     

    I think we could be a quarter final Europa team if we played to our potential.

  7. Neganon, why do you bother, it’s football ff’s sake away and find a pastime that you can enjoy. I’ll be back at Celtic Park next home game to enjoy and if I ever get fed up I’ll stop. Is that too hard to understand ? nobody’s forcing me to go..

  8. Rodgers lays the blame squarely on the defence. What else could he do? Now if the rumours were true, he only rated Tierney , Brown and Dembele as true CL quality, then we better dip

     

    into that £30m. ( £50m according to our resident Cassandra). This should be fun.

  9. I don’t normally do the blame game but it’s impossible to win in Europe without a decent keeper.

     

    De Vries is a poor keeper plain & simple, I hope Brendan goes with Bain against the Sheep and it’s up to him to keep the jersey.

     

    We were never going to win the Europa and with the horrendous injury problems we have had this year we are better off out of it at this stage.

     

    Looking forward to the Sheep game, I’ll let the ranting & rage to those who are good at it.

  10. PeterLatchfordsBelly on

    67% possession, 67 mins before we had a shot on goal. Yet another team that have a clean sheet against us. That’s a good few since Anderlecht at home. We are haemorrhaging the momentum we build last year. As others have said, maybe we’re overdoing the number of projects and need some more maturity in the team. Brendan himself linking the passivity in the team to the number of young, inexperienced players. Must do better.

  11. What is the Stars on

    Anyhow its only football after all.

     

    There is always another game.

     

    Big one on Sunday

     

     

    Life is good. Enjoy. Don’t be stressing. Half the world is starving. People are being slaughtered in Syria. There are worse things than your football team disappointing you.

     

    Gotta go. Peter Lawwell flying to Caymans with a suitcase full of cash and guess what..I will drive him to the airport myself!!!

  12. Even the post match interviews are getting bad. Big couple of weeks coming up now for Brendan Rodgers, as we need to see a team rise out of this latest disappointment.

  13. BOBBY MURDOCH'S CURLED-UP WINKLEPICKERS on

    JMCCORMICK

     

     

    Ah,but what does £50m buy you these days?

     

     

    A right back,just about!

  14. Can anyone tell me how many teams from TV markets less than 5m had teams in Europe post xmas ?

     

     

    Why does the pond life that is Sutton think Celtic has the right to beat a team like Zenit who have been in Europe 8 years in a row after xmas and who have just spent £120m in summer on team ?

     

     

    Celtic has been in Europe 8 times after europe in 38 years and yet for some reason this is a failure ? No other Scottish team came close to even reaching the tournament proper.

     

     

    The pathetic media will have a field day with their bitter bile as the seek to destabilise us.

     

     

    Celtic will win on Sunday. Celtic will win big at Ibrox too.

    So Stevie Clarke and Killie would have done better………….Nonsense.

  16. Canamalar it looks like OCD obsession on

    Mileybhoy,

     

    We might have rode it out if the manager hadn’t insisted in in playing the “Celtic way” pure unadulterated shite,

  17. i have a soloution dont play in europe and we wont have to spend hows that for thinking every one happy aint that right peter, dermott were are you

  18. FFS……only the treble to win now…..

     

     

    Winning the league is EVERYTHING…….

     

     

    It’s good to be a Tim

     

     

    Up The Celts

  19. FWIW, here is my rather simplistic appraisal of the game tonight.

     

    Zenit have better players than we have. Better player make fewer mistakes.Better players can make the opposition make mistakes. A team with better players than the opposition usually wins.Celtic win most games in Scotland for those reasons. Tonight, Zenit won for those reasons.

  20. What is the Stars on

    Burnley

     

    Why call Sutton”pond life ”

     

    Really ? One of the few pundits who speaks up for Celtic.

     

    He is also honest enough to criticise us and express his disappointment when we play poorly.

     

    Disagree with him if you wish but the abuse is uncalled for.

  21. At times nowadays, the Xmax game looks like we were overachieving .

     

     

    Time for Bain to get a chance, if not on Sunday, then midweek. Dorus is to weak, remember he lost his place after conceding from a speculative shot from 45 yards . I think he should have done better with the shot that lead to the corner and first goal.

     

     

    Sunday will be a helluva game.

  22. Fairhill Bhoy

     

     

    “So we have to have to know how to say words?or spell”

     

     

    yes, you have to know how to say words, otherwise your point goes unheard (Spelling has feck all to do with it- I asked you to spell out your point (of view)- I am deeply uninterested in your spelling.

     

     

    What kind of lack of confidence in your own viewpoint leads you to invent some pathetic wee girly excuse about cliques or gangs or bogeymen. Grow up and account for your own point. You are on an adult forum- the rest of us left p.1 a long time ago.

     

     

    I have no idea what your complaint was about since you were too cowardly to actually make it, preferring to believe that some mad conspiracy of others was preventing you from being more popular. Well, in order to have a poular point, you must first have a point.

     

     

    So, let’s hear it- Don’t be scared! Just make your point. You have the floor if you want it.

  23. Gordon, Boyata, Armstrong, Roberts and Griffiths would all probably have played some part tonight if fit. Had they been fit we would have stood a far better chance of progressing. It’s a struggle in Europe, even qualifying, when we have a full squad so no surprise when we get turned over like tonight.

  24. What is the Stars

     

     

    So true my friend ….. Imagine waking up a Sevco fan and realising the past 6 years have not just been a nightmare and Celtic really are on track for a double treble and 10 in a row whilst the team playing at Ibrox haven’t got a pot to piss in.

     

     

    That must be bad.

  25. Very disappointed in that performance. While I thought Zenith were far far better than us on the night, we lost 3 poor goals. I don’t think we made their goalkeeper make a save.

     

     

    Our manager has his work cut out, unless he can have the likes of Roberts and Griffiths back from injury soon.

    Loving my pain? I’ve missed one game this season, home and away. But you accuse me of being a Hun. Laughable.
