For a while now, as those who read this diary regularly or listen to the podcasts will know, we’ve been aware that although we couldn’t put our fingers on it, there has been a feeling that something isn’t right at Celtic.
We’ve mentioned the Lennon/Kennedy axis, the theory that Lennon is more of a PR man whilst Kennedy is the day to day de facto manager, which of course will save Lawwell a fortune when Lennon is moved on.
We’ve mentioned the fact, and it is a fact, that the players reckon the pitch at Celtic Park is the worst one they have played on this season.
We’ve mentioned the confusion at Lennoxtown as to exactly how the players should line up, and we’ve mentioed the concern that there is no consistency of who they should line up.
And, most importantly, we have haroed on about the fact that when it boils down to it, we have only one recognized central defender of any reasonable quality, and we failed to strengthen in that department during the summer.
Money was available, but it was spent on the development squad, which hints that developing and selling players is nore of a priority than actually developing a team capable of competing at the higher levels.
And bear in mind, if we are not competing at that level, then it will be much harder to attract real quality.
Last night, the support were easily turned onto the team which made the players nervous. The fortress that once was Celtic Park became a millstone for the players, and they were more afraid of doing wrong than trying tondonright
This, in turn led to basic errors.
A manager cannot compensate for such errors, and therefore cannot be blamed.
But it must have been plain to him that Simunovic was showing signs that an error was imminent, and when it came it was no surprise
Was Lennon watching the same game as the rest of us?
Again its a question that must be asked.
There are stories that the day to day running of the team is down to Kennedy and the coaching staff.
Could it be that Lennon only gets involved for the big games?
And when he does, he tinkers around with a winning system and dysfunctionalises it.
Ajer, poor soul, is bot a right back.
The keeper, Fraser Forster, is clearly in some kind of comfort zone.
He’s neither as confident nor as commandong as he was early on in his second stint at the club, and this could be he prefers three centre halves in front of him, allowing him to stay on his line.
He doesn’t like crosses, and leaves them to others.
Greg Taylor isn’t Keiran Tierney.
He’s Greg Taylor and unwarranted criticism will ruin him.
We’ve lost three crucial home games this season.
Cluj, ” rangers ” and now Copenhagen.
We landed the Betfred Cup theough sheer luck.
Alright, there’s a massive cushion as the league enters the run in. That’s because the opposition couldn’t keep up the pace.
Unless we find our running shoes soon, that lead will be under seige.
St Johnstone away on Sjnday is now the biggest game of the season.
A defeat will see questions asked of the management and players mental strength.
I’m not sure they would have the answers.
That was short.
Says it all though.
Notice the polis have changed Santos, think it’s a misprint should be Simo.
The problem is everyone goes on about Res 12, the board do not give a proverbial. LIEWELL IS MORE INTERESTED IN DOWNSIZING AND HIS BONUS.
Last night was shocking and supporters should realise that this is the way forward. LENNY WAS BROUGHT IN AS A STOP GAP THEN LIEWELL SPOTTED AN OPPORTUNITY
Lenny is a placeman, everything he has done is at the bequest of the CEO. Remember about strengthening in the last window, nothing two prospects purchased for over 5Million. Scott Sinclair who is a stronger player than Elyianoussi ditched, at the behest of the CEO.
I feel sorry for Lenny he is Celtic through and through, as for JPK and Duff they are a joke. This year I have watched the team live and on the TV in general they have no shape, proven against Copenhagen and the Wankers.
Celtic have far better resources than those two teams but they are run by donkeys. Last night was the final straw and as long as we have the suits in charge they are dead in my eyes, it breaks my heart to say that.
yeah , something is missing ….
aye yoor celtic scarf zombie
Charlie you can fuck right off. that’s twice you’ve called me a zombie.
Your patter is pish
Now shut up and fuck off.
2nd time that you have called me a zombie.
Another keyboard hardman.
Mind of a child…..calling me names.
Hunnish behaviour…….
its seems inconsistency is the most consistent thing.
Last night was the clusterfuck of clusterfucks.
A Team of Strangers totally devoid of a plan and by the looks of it peak fitness.
A management team who seemed to be watching a totally different performance than the rest of us.
A side without a recognised right back playing 4-5-1..which was a formation that had been ditched as a failure.
Desi are you qualified to make that comment? I mean you were at the game and all but you lack the footballing sensei abilities of Charlie saiz
From now on no posters on here are allowed to discuss football and tactics other than Charlie saiz as we all don’t have a clue and he said as much
Haha you think so
Forgot more about how to play football in the last year than you will ever know in a lifetime ya rocket
Erm WRONG
I entered my younger brother and his mates in to a local tournament a few years ago
Trained with them for 4 weeks and played the tournament.
They won every game btw 😉
mmmm goodness me peter a jeest fun lennies advisor ha ha ha ha get a life hen
🙂
Own goals don’t count ya moron or have you not grasped that?
Oh for fuxsake!
Don’t you start, was both know I had all the football ability of the family
My retort was to the loony Saiz you moron.
My point stands. Far better football player and master tactician
Hahahaha. Nearly lost control of my bladder.
Old age must be a bummer
a concur he he
Surely you haven’t stopped smiling since Wednesday.
You celebrated their victory and it was noticed before you engaged the Dunkirk Spirit.
You obviously know more about JJ than I do, which is no surprise given his affiliations.
Can’t tell if he’s smiling or not with that nose bag on….
CS, where TF do you get “a £10m stay of execution from Admint.” I’d like to think, as I do, you’ve multiplied their extra revenue by 4, and that’s GROSS? Not that paying tax affects their day-to-day running, just like their bastard parent.
Anyway, fuck them and all who follow them.
WE ARE CELTIC, current warts and all!
FC not PLC
HH
🙂
I disagree CS you are wrong, they were overloading the left from 2nd half kick off in the same way Strasbourg did in Strasbourg. Without a modification of the tactic they were always going to get a goal from there.
After targeting that side with every ball for five minutes.
Yes they did, they studied and then at half time they made their move. Just like in the first leg. Just like last year in Strasbourg. Oh and just like that loss against “rangers”. We’ve been figured out and not making changes when they had and not noticing them targeting the left was poor.
Nae Broonie nae party. 4 words that explain an exposed shambles of a defence, a midfield that was overrun and an attack without a line of supply. Injured or past it or both? I expect when he’s back at 100% winning ways will be resumed but this is his encore and replacing him will take some doing.
Until the moment Jojo made his schoolboy error, we were not playing at our best but we were in no way looking in extreme danger of being beaten…we looked more likely to get a goal than them.
Cue the free gift goal and it was like a boot in the baws for our guys and a huge lift for Copenhagen. But we fought our way back and got and scored the penalty and it still looked that we could get the win. Another immediate defensive mistake and they score again, heads go down followed by another defensive shambles for their third goal.
Copenhagen couldn’t believe their luck, they were handed the win on a plate by our defense.
I’m gutted, sad, angry, disappointed etc etc…but I’m not turning on the manager or the team. The hysteria here and the fucking name calling of fellow posters is a disgrace.
HH and on to Sunday and another step towards 9.
Sack the board .Back the team.Thank God we’re away from home on Sunday.F.C. not P.L.C.
I think this is way over the top if you look at Lennon, s record over Rodgers it is so much better as you said the manager can not be blamed for players mistakes.
Utter pish
Rodgers won every single cup and league he entered in Scotland
Lennon has won the league cup so far
Let’s not get ahead of ourselves
All this lurgan Klopp stuff is utter drivel as last night filthx2 and cluj at home has already proved
rodgers fucked off first chance he got maybe wae awe yoor managerial nounce you could go in in an advisory role ha ha ha ha tae backup yer broo money ha ha ha ha
Bgbhoy,
That’s pish, in my opinion, Neil Lennon won the league & Scottish cup last season & the league cup this season.
so it was the scum sending him a bomb in the post 9 years ago that was to blame for the calamity of last night?
Glad you cleared that up for us mere footballing peasents
Uncharacteristic errors by Simunovic,Ajer and Rogic?? Are you kidding?Those errors were totally in character for those 3. Simunovic isn’t good enough, Ajer is never a defender and Rogic has been way off all season. Rogic is class and will come good and Ajer may make it as a midfielder if he was ever to get a game there. We knew at the start of the season we needed central defenders yet didn’t act
Jullien is an excellent player, look closer at your next live stream, or rewind after buffering.
saiz you shoulda got a real job insteady being a kiddon sodger cause thers a brain in ther sumwer
Really?
We were all over the place tactically in the 2nd half, just as we were over in Denmark. Just as we have been in many games this season (Sevco, Cluj in the qualifiers).
The likes of which have not been seen prior or since? what about WGS getting us to the last 16 twice or Seville?
You (willfully) forget that Lenny failed to qualify for any European competition in his first two years. Luckily Sion got kicked out and we got through on default.
As for comparing him to Rodgers. Well, Rodgers’ CL group included Barca, Man City, PSG and Bayern, so understandable that we did not qualify.
Charlie chuckle saiz,
Tactics are important tho, why play Ajer at rb to accommodate jozo the coco when you have Frimpong on the bench?
Erm, you don’t get it, are you thick or just a dippit noel hunt?
Lennon failed to make it to the CL this year, which is comparable in toughness to the one that Rodgers was successful in 2 of the past 3 years.
That’s the only relevant comparator.
The only Celtic fans that have any interest in how Liverpool did under Rodgers are those that celebrated the Huns result on Wednesday. FACT.
Of course they are.
Ever heard the expression “when you’re in a hole, stop digging”?
Did you go & see Liverpool or was their something you were morally outraged about?
Unforseen errors? YOU PLAY 2 HOLDING MIDFIELDERS when the opposition start overloading the flank and adjacent half-space. You also tell your full-backs only ONE is allowed past the halfway line at once. This is how I know Kennedy isn’t pulling the tactical strings, he learnt this lesson against Strasbourg.
dont worry aboot the thumbs doon peter some days this place is fulla zombies
Rodgers got to the Champions League 2 years out of 3.
In the other year he got to the Last 32 of the Europa League.
Lennon has now matched Rodgers worst year.
I also can’t remember any as clueless home performances against teams of the calibre of Cluj and Copenhagen.
I already addressed that but obviously you failed the 11+ reading comprehension exam.
Following on from failing the 10+
“Papering Over The Cracks” Sums it up for me.
Like an accountant playing DoF. I mean this has been going on for years, him bringing in players without the manager knowing of them. Buying cheap hoping that one might hit the golden jackpot, but most are just crackpot. Appointing a manager without due diligence and them a PLC. too, “shoulda known better”. I will always be grateful to Lenny filling in when Rodgers bolted, but we all know why he bolted, but appointments in the shower? where was the due diligence? also left in the shower. For me Odsonne could be the last big purchase, Rodgers wanted him and Moussa, we got them both and how the club profited, both on and of the park. The latest player purchases leave me in fear of how they will play, my confidence in the team is at a low ebb. After 50 years of watching the Tic’ The cracks are beginning to reappear. £45-50 million, in the bank is £40-45 million to much.
” Half you clowns “?
Fcuk off ya Dick!
She needs to give herself a good fingering. I would ignore the asshole M.
I posted this a few hours ago on another site. Hope you don’t mind,guys. It won’t be everyone’s cup of tea,but heyho…
*
I missed the first half last night as I caught up on some zeds. Missed the opener too,up in time only for the last half hour. Looking back,we should have been about four up by half time.
But we weren’t.
First thing I did when I got up was to check the score,then the line-up on the BBC results page. Frankly,I was raging at both.
Now,I’ll say this without any attempt at scapegoating,merely stating my opinion.
We were without Christie and Ntcham. Lenny wanted the three at the back. Fraser will be in goal. He then has decisions to make. We saw what they were,and to be fair they seemed to be ok in that first half.
But Griff and Eddy have been giving defenders nightmares since they first started playing together,and have struck up a decent partnership as they pull defenders all over the place. Elyounoussi is a highly talented player,but who is still on his way back from injury. He also occupies the same space as Eddy when he cuts inside,and the same space as Taylor when he stays wide. So I’d have put Griff on from the start and told him to run till he dropped.
I’d then have replaced him with Frimpers and put Forrest-who was bloody anonymous,btw-on the left. Told him to cut across,not in,and either go for it,or feed Eddy as he ran into the gap vacated by that.
But our main problem was always going to be the centre of the park. No Olly,and a half fit Broonie. No Christie to drop back,with Tam never a ball winner in midfield. And all this against a team that we know can hit hard and fast on the break.
There was no balance in the team from the start. Our three backs are right footed,while of the others,only Broonie and Forrest prefer their right. That’s a problem we’ve had for far too long,and it remains unaddressed. Our two January signings look as far away from the first team as I do. I keep hearing about our large squad,but it’s top heavy in some areas and manifestly short in others.
An injury and a suspension look to have cost us last night. That’s a sign that our squad isn’t big enough where it needs to be. A sign,in fact,that our squad isn’t where it needs to be.
Neil Lennon,we are always told,has an eye for a player. Well,he needs to have an eye for a Neil Lennon. He is exactly what this team needs,a player cloned from his dandruff if need be. And a new Lambo would be nice too,instead of the beat up old Ladas on loan from FC Fuckknows. Protect the defence and allow the flair players to do their bit. That still leaves five of them,but knowing our luck they will all be left footed and running the same channels.
It seems we have some decent players in our development squad. We can wait for them. But if any of them fit the mould of a Lenny or Lambo,I’d be inclined to fast track them.
As MON told the board after the huns had beaten us 5-1,get me Neil Lennon and it will never happen again. Last night will happen again and again until Lenny gets his own Neil Lennon.
FFS… DEAL WITH “WHAT IS” AND NOT “WHAT IF”….. NOW…
WHO DO Celtic play next game
am wae you weered sum mugs oan heer are developing hun like superiority complex s must be lennies success
You must be very succesful then….
🙂
I don’t think its success that breeds his issues.
Pathetic.
They always have been, they always will be!
Oh dear
Now now Charles
St Johnstone away in the Scottish Cup on Sunday at 3pm, live on Premier Sports.
I think its right after such a demoralising defeat to discuss it.
Just like there were elements of the defeat to the Huns of not learning lessons from the League Cup Final, this one mirrored some of the wretchedness of Cluj.
In a hopefully another Treble season its worrying that lessons don’t seem to be learned.
St.Johnstone away in the Scottish cup on Sunday.
Can you put up a live stream link for William Saiz?
There’s probably several glaring issues how we lost last night, and lets face it, that game was harder to lose than to win, but somehow we managed it, the must niggling/fkg annoying thing for me was team selection and tactics, we’ve been playing a system for 6 weeks noo,a system with 2 quality forwards who have struck up a great understanding, a system that players have obviously taken to and enjoy playing in,yet Lennon decides to not only changes the attacking set up but also completely upsets a back 3 that actually gave us some stability, that’s 3 massive losses at Parkhead so far this season, Cluj, sevco, Copenhagen, yet Lennon still tinkering with systems and personel when hed actually found the answer…KTF
Lenny HAS to take responsibility, but not ALL the responsibility. The team were dire to a man. From the moment I saw Elyonnoussi and no Leigh Griffiths starting I was thinking oh FFS, we’re not going to blow it again are we? We were looking like getting a decent 3-5-2 and changing it in my view created the end result last night. We made mistake after mistake all over the park and yet could still have had about 3 goals, but there was no confidence on the ball from the start IMHO. Simunovic’s mistake was unbelievable but then Jullien could have retrieved it but slipped and big FF left the gap between his legs like a hooker for the ball to get through. A fucking disaster IMO but this season’s ALL about the NINE. BTW, I think the whole fucking squad and management and Lawwell should be taken to a Junior game on a really shitty evening and charged about 15% of their weekly income (like many of our supporters) whilst forced to watch the entire match. The proceeds to the homeless and I’ll bet they’ll see some PROPER fitba played with passion and plenty of skill and then they should be made to write an essay on just how TF they ‘earn’ so much more dough than the Juniors who will be apprentices and tradesmen for their income. Rant over, but deary fuckin’ me, it’s not acceptable from Celtic FC.
FC not PLC
HH
Well said TicToc
KEIGHLEY BHOY
aye we heard ye
Here we go again. And this site is particularly bad for it. We lose one game and everything is wrong, the team, the manager, the recruitment. Oh and we were lucky to win the Betfred, so what? I’ll take it. Cluj? Cluj are a decent team, they proved it again last night, Sevilla couldn’t beat them over 2 legs. Copenhagen? No one has beaten them by more than 1 goal in Europe this season so anyone thinking that we were going to skoosh it was sadly mistaken. We are currently 12 points ahead in the league, oh but what if we lose ground? Yeah we probably will, it’s unlikely we will win every game. Can you see the other mob winning every game?
Truth be told we are playing some great football in the league, our defence is more than capable for the run in. We are Celtic when have we ever had a great defence, they aren’t called the Sieve for nothing. I am quite happy with what we have.
Fans complaining we didn’t go 3-5-2 are likely the same ones bemoaning it when Lenny changed it after the break.
Do us a favour and gies feckin peace!!!
Losing was bad enough, but it’s the manner in which we lost that’s the most annoying and worrying thing, complacency and poor decision making cost us last night
It was sore one, shock to the system.Never saw that coming.I think I have, like many Tims these days,got arrogant. A bad night at the office, for many reasons. Let’s take a deep breath and: win the league and win the Scottish Cup and show the Orcs who are Champs by taking both games against them. Lenny is doing fine and most of the bhoys, most of the time are also playing like Champions. Copenhagen proved a good team although we should have taken them, both home and away. At St. Johnstone:
3-4-1-2
Forster
Forrest/Brown/McGregor/Taylor
Christie
Edouard/Griffiths
I would also like to see Soro in action, with some time given to Klimala as well. 2-0 to the bhoys,normal service resumed. We can now concentrate totally on the domestic front. In Europe, the Orcs have had some great results. The Braga result was superb. Credit to Slippy and his gang. They did what we should have done.
Sorry, 3-4-1-2 needs a back line!
Ajer/Jullien/Simunovic
am wae you devoy
apart fae yon sevco pish he he
hail hail mcklintop
mcklintop,
If you want peace then fuck off, we do chaos & antagonism on here….we like it that way 🙂
Think the Mjallby Bobo and Valgaren trio. Were pretty solid Chris Sutton at times. That’s why we got to Seville.
We’ve only lost 17 goals in 28 games and I’m sure other recent seasons will be as good, if not better.
Clearly the difference on Europe is massive even to so-called weaker teams like Copenhagen.
when we play pish teams we win when we play average or above we look like twats.
its a simple rule
Lazio?
look at the games we are losing though? its the ones with plenty of cash involved. pretty weird for a so called business run club. maybe the football is being substituted for the boneye. is that the business we are in.
All true but venting is a fans privilege mck
Watching that real time was gut wrenching I knew we weren’t up for it. Players for someone to take responsibility on the field. Instead of doing it themselves. Funny enough I thought Ellyanoussi was up for it he got binned for the change. Would’ve taken rogic off tbh instead.
Waiting
Tell me, seriously, who have we played since Christmas that you would deem a decent outfit?
Clyde
copenhagen?
That went without saying.
see sarcastic “?”
There is a clear confusion at Parkhead, Lenny is Celtic through and through you could see his upset at the game end interview, but he is not the issue or JPK or Duff they are placemen. At times the team is disjointed, look at the defeat and almost Loss in the League Cup Final to the Wankers, Copenhagen are not a great team but stupidity. Poor defenders and shocking tactics lead to CFC downfalo
The issue is Liewell with his constant downsizing, when Brenda left Lenny was his lucky break, but should have been a stopgap. As seen in the last transfer window where Lenny wanted to strengthen we ended up with projects over 5 million squidoos for the two players that have not played
Scott Sinclair is a better player than Elyianoussi, but it was a downsize by Liewell yet again. We have been here before when Delilah was brought in and the Wankers beat us in the semis leading to DD bringing Brenda.
Currently Celtic are a ream that flatters to deceive, Broony is at the end, Simo is a farce, Ayer is more midfielder than defender, but we have had a makeshift defence for a couple of years, Liewell and Wankier are more interested in their bonus than the future of CFC.
Say what you want about the denizens but are CFC in a better place with all their moniies?
Liewell, the board and DD are small minded people who appear to have carried on the biscuit tin legacy of the Kelly’s and Whites
ralph hearts ur saying they are bottom ae the league caussy the oposition dry yer eyes ffs
saiz a wis in a boozer in the toon last night and everyhun in the place wer saying mon weel go on e tims a and thumb doon any positive shit he he sort it oot ralph ffs
“Papering over the cracks”. It seems like we have been saying that for years now. Project players brought in, usually from the middle east. For every one a success, there’s been five dumplings. Players brought in without the managers knowledge, a conveyor belt of mince. An accountant that continually interferes in the football department, a manager appointed in the showers without due diligence, £45 million in the bank- £40.million too much. “You get what you pay for”, freebies, oldies, players learning their trade. Two strikers bought in recently, one for nought, one for 9 mill. euro’s. Who was it brought them in, B.R. and the result was immediate and the biscuit tin called one away and is calling out to the other.
“When will we see there like’s again.”
2 strikers brought in recently are Klimala (£3m?) and Bayo (£2m) but seen little of them and nothing impressive.
We didn’t pursue the 1st team ready Andraž Šporar (£5m?) so looks like another false economy by the bean counters.
We are likely to be without Eddy for the CL Qualifiers as he may be at the Olympics, so who will lead the line?
The abject performance against RossCo shows Griff can no longer lead the line on his own, so who is going to partner him?
Is either of the undynamic duo going to step up to the plate before the end of the season or will it be another panic buy or an unnatural cobbled together effort?
dont forget bozo the midfield genius. oh and shved
Shved was one that I was referring to, brought in without the managers (BR) knowledge. Moussa and Eddy again BR.
Soro’s and Paddy will never replace Broony and Eddy.
well both need replacing
to be fair on the Lennon appointment. no one else would have been stupid enough to take the job on.
The list is long and growing. Downsizing could be our Downfall, just like my weekend.
Depressing.
I agree with most of what you wrote but I also feel there are some favourites who no matter how they play get a game every week. They are all good players at Celtic but some players are tired, off form etc. and should be rested. Also the subs in game we are winning easily are strange and it does not allow players to get game time. Even last night when Rogic was towing a caravan and Var was being looked at it was the time to change and probably replace JF as well. We scored Rogic is out on his feet and gives them the ball they score. End of game. The emergence of Christie last season, Ntcham playing well most of the time, Fringpong has been a revelation and Griff annoying all opposition especially Seconians has breathed life into the team. 4 were missing and we are lightweight, don’t have enough strength, ball winning ability passing ability and pressureising teams. These four should be given a run of games together. Eddy is a different player when they play. He was isolated last night and up against 3 cenre halfs with no support. Ellanoussie was playing well but what was his prep before starting in Europe. Remember he was brought back dir cup final and then disappeared with injury for 3 months. Was Broonie injured last night or is it just time catching up?
CS,
No they aren’t full of shit, you are though.
I’ve had a terrible day. Feel like killing someone, then I feel bad for the fans. Old women in tears In the stands probably spent hundreds of pounds watching the team. I was going to say “ Ronny out” but he’s gone. His legacy seems to be lingering. Ralph the underlying feeling of something not being right is pretty much on the surface. Scrooge mentality. It’s always been there at Celtic. The days of schoolboys from scottish schools who kept the club going because they played football all day and were good, are long gone. You can make the place look pretty with lights and hotels losing sight that it’s a football club, the fans want football not a psychedelic light show
Over it now on to nine in a row. I suppose we would take this position however much it hurts. We seem to be a team perpetually 3 players short of the real thing. Since O Neil
Rogic was a risk last night he played ok but he’s at pre season level not primed for a high intensity match of high importance. Few million lost there. Suppose we would’ve bought some Latvian kid with big wraps with the money anyway
Style over content that’s Lawell in a nutshell. I’d put a hit man on him but I’d expect sirens blaring outside the house if I did. Oh wait…
Ah, you sensitive wee soul.
Perhaps they’re just a true reflection of views of your posts.
Perhaps if its detrimental to your low self-esteem its time for another of your legendary breaks.
and yet you hang on my every word. 😉
I find the Cha’s posts both informative & inspiring…..one of the main reasons i log on in fact 🙂
FACT
Both arms & legs for example…..
We aren’t a clique…..just fitba supporters discussing our team.
Carfin Grotto?
You certainly dominated the narrative of Wednesday when you came on here crowing after the Huns victory.
After the Huns victory in 2018 you awarded them top spot in the league despite the fact we were top with a game in hand.
You then completely lost your shit about it for the next 2 months despite the fact we built up an unassailable lead.
You hated the Treble Treble years and pour your bile out week after here.
As far as I can see most other posters are reasonable ie they will praise when required and criticise when necessary.
You should try it, its good for the soul and avoids stunted thinking.
Don’t forget he ” paid himself out the army ” lol.
We have the players to beat Copenhagen Cluj Sevco.
Sadly our manager is getting it badly wrong it needs sorting.
Poor decision making by the players yes but a team who had settled into a good rhythm with a system that suited was booted into touch by our manager on another big night.
We need to bounce back and get ready to win the treble.
As far as I can see, comments on here now disappear without trace. FFS, can’t even blow off some steam after that fucking garbage last night. Cheers eTims, your new model is fucking hopeless. Bye!
FC not PLC
HH
I’m not a usual suspect. Normally I like his tactical decisions, but he waited too long, Simo and Taylor were being targeted and there was always going to be a goal from that side unless something was done. The error was forced.
Ah yes we have lost of first game of the year against better opposition than we face in Scotland and we could and should have won the game. No need to panic no need to turn on each other and no need to swing into oh woe are we. Onto St Johnstone and another cup tie win. Treble is on let’s get the treble
I agree with that.
On the other hand, there were significant failings, repeated from before and its right that that’s discussed.
This team last night was frightened of Failure could not even do the BASICS I BLAME Lennon the game should have been change at HALF TimE!!! Off Simovice Elnouse and Rodgic on should have been Vr
Griff Bring pong and B bitton simple decision Lennon to blame Big Spend in the Summer some Hope!!!!!
FFS that’s quality spelling comrade, did you go to School? 🙂
Nurse^
Tony you talka baloney. The issue last night was there for all to see. Lawells fucking bonus
So we’re poised for our fourth domestic Treble and our 9th consecutive Title, but you choose to write this? I was disappointed about last night, but I’m over it because we’re on course for arguably one of our best ever seasons since Lisbon. Seville doesn’t count because the domestic cupboard was bare. It would serve this writer well to remember the 90s and how it was before Stein.
Ah yes the 90s a blur of victories for Rangers, amphetamines, ecstasy and weed. Pretty sure the first caused the rest for many.
I take you point. However I do think its time to enter a transitional period. when your centre half has to miss every second game, coz his knees poorly and spends most of the first half on his @rse against pretty mediocre euro opposition Questions have to be asked. Brown was clearly injured and was played because we have no one else. Also we were bossed in midfield once again and rogic has clearly had his day. not good enough. 1/10 must try harder. Also Taylor the no1 pick at LB FFS.
I like Simo his tackle on Kenny Miller is forever ingrained in my brain, but it’s high time we got ourselves Scott McKenna and told Simo he can find another club. While we’re at it, it’s about time we got ourselves Lawrence Shankland, if he plays in in the SPFL for anyone other than Celtic we will regret it.
simo,rogic and brown are yesterdays men. McKenna (not sure) and shankland (apart from being slow) wants to play for them
John,
Ralph can’t remember a month ago never mind the 90’s 🙂
I will continue to say this. Until he changes his signing policy or leaves, the biggest problem or threat at Celtic is Peter Lawwell. Anybody who has any inkling about the game can see first team quality players such as Forster, Edouard, Julien and Elyonoussi have evidenced that they can turn up in big games.( Now before you say “Lawwell signed them” remember two are on loan and please read on ) Other than that it is the Scottish players such as Forrest, McGregor and Brown who are consistent.
We keep signing projects. We all know that we need at least one more CH and Browns replacement. In the summer we will need Edouards. It may be Klimala or Bayo (almost £6m) for the two of then I can’t see it. I hope I am wrong. When Ajer came back from Kilmarnock he was hard working and raw. During the summer he had ridiculous price tags attached to him and this season he has struggled. He has been at fault for goals v Lazio, Cluj x 2 and Copenhagen. What is more disappointing was the winner Sevco got in December. That was Ajer again losing his man and he did it also at the proceeding corner. I also recognise that he is a young midfielder playing as a makeshift CH. This season it shows. Simunovic made a mistake last night. Everyone does, but for a CH to be as unavailable as he usually is raises questions again about Laweells signing policy. He cost £4m; plus Kouassi; £3m. I am not sure he is the negotiator he thinks he is.

Ha ha
Oh dear – your clubs deed mate – beat it
Tena for MEN.
Obviousy not much good then for that Celtic squad of bottlers.
They can piss off elsewhere
Indulgent and arrogant huffiness.
Change the record.

We’re doing something right.
We got beat. It happens.
Get over it.
Saw it coming a mile away that result,still got to love the disco lights, anyone care to dance, ladies only.
Caught that Channel 4 attack on Celtic, awful stuff & Thomson is a disgrace for how he paints Celtic.
This stuff needs to get fkn sorted!
Utter bellendc- check^
Still ficking sick, its going to take a long, long time to get over that p!sh. Because its the hope that eats into your soul and then gets kicked in the baws. Lazio was an inspirational game that got you thinking that we had progressed significantly and the Huns had regressed, now its the polar opposite, now its them with the hope and we are going to Perth looking for inspiration, Perth FFS. European football is the lifeblood for our club, the magic money tree, fail and we cannot (cough) invest. To progress one man has to go, if he doesn’t then the p!sh will continue ad nauseam.
Scott Brown cost our club £4.4 mill. TEN years ago, TEN years ago. Celtic got a huge return on their investment. His so called replacement was signed months ago, he cost Celtic “1.5 mill. from Peters favourite agent. The lack of investment into the playing squad is telling, but with around £40.00 mill. in the bank its inexcusable. The club is being run on a shoestring when there is absolutely no need for it, none. Being put out of Europe once again by a team with half our budget means that the support is being short changed.
Peter Piper Picks a Peck of Pickled Peppers and most of them play for Celtic’s development team.
In the case of the latter he wouldn’t necessarily strengthen the team.
Peters peperoni, second class players will never win nowt and he’s bought most of them, some even without the manager knowing about them. Peter’s policy of buying cheap players is a failed policy, buying them with so much money in the bank is an abject failure.
Cost us a possible 25 million against club our broonie
Cluj
Aye the auld fella’s showing his age, aren’t we all? But what a player, what a leader, what a Tim.
And what a captain he has been a real hero and servant to our great club, ten of him and we would win every game. The battle of football games is won in the midfield and he has won 99% of them, when he retires it will be a very sad day for our team. He has driven the team for ten years, ten years of mostly glory, there’s never been his equal in Scottish football.
“When will we see his likes Again”
You know what, had this happened to the rat I wouldn’t be nearly as disappointed. I expect more from NL because of everything you wrote. ^
I make no such thing apologies 🙂
He comes on here with his batshit agenda, is called out on it then lashes out before playing the victim.
Maybe Ralph should tell you to go fuck your apology like you did to IanCelt?
Would you like that eagle eyes?
Benfica, Porto and Braga presidents accused of money laundering, tax evasion and fraud. Under investigation.
I heard a Copenhagen player was charged for punching a cop after their goal. Buy that man a carlsberg
The team in Green and White like the cream of the crop will rise to the top.
I love The Celtic and always will. C’mon you Bhoys in Green. C’mon The Celtic. Peace and good health to all on this site none of whom are fair weather supporters. We all have the T-shirt! We will solve all our problems, both on and off the pitch.
Uralius… A tad twee there
Weered,
Did you see that Jordan Flores volley?
WTF?
Good man Charlie Saiz it did get very personal bordering on childish. Not in my direction, but I was close to saying something without pointing fingers.
My Reds beat Dungannon Swifts 2 1…. Now meet Glentoran in semis.. That should be a cracker
Def penalty hearts ffs. Then the hearts player already booked lol puts two hands on the ball into the net. We need VAR the refs can’t see obvious infringements
Good luck to cliftonville
1-0 diet Huns go the Aussie bozanic
Stevie don’t think the real “ rangers “ have turned up yet. You leave your best player out because he’s a day late getting back from escobars farm
Rangers just brought on Bill Cosby
Iancelt67, we are a much improved team and we will be up against a much improved team. Win, lose or draw we’ll still love our team… They are of the people 🙂
As Monti would say stupid stupid Huns. Goodbye Stevie g you are the biggest loser. You leave with nothing
Zippidy doo dah zippidy yai.
Fnnnaaarr Fnnnaaaaaaaaarrrrrrrrr. Hahahahahaha.
Europa League winners in Tynecastle shocker.
WELCOME TO THE PARTY
WELCOME TO THE PARTY TONIGHT!
CS, can we have a debate about Morelos being better than Edouard, please?
Oh ma sides!
Oh the Huns they are SH!te.
Oh dear the “Braga Lions” are out the Scottish Cup. No silver aware for the rangers international club this year. Only a Petrofac cup to their name. Back to “going for two” next year. Hilarious!
Well just when I thought my week was going to be full of gloom.
Happy Saturday everyone
The wee huns knock the big wants pot HH
Even more good news, on sky sports just now the guy said that the hearts goalie had just handed object’s thrown at him to the match officials!!
O the blue room is bare!!
Hey hey beautiful Sunday I mean Saturday hi hi hi it’s a beautiful day hey hey hey Huns are leaving with nothing hey hey hey stevies slipped up again. Mate you were a great player but your choices in life have now put you in the shit. Why would you take on a poisoned chalice. Is it delusion? They are a satanic representation of football. Walters anti football got them to a final because he bought a team getting backhanders cheating cunts. You’re karma will endeavour years of nearly maybes you lost against the bottom dwellers with a better coach. There’s still time to leave and redeem your status leave now!!
Aint KARMA grand at being a bitch hahahahah… Me effing sides
Stevie g is more entertaining than pedro fact!!!!
Watford 3 Liverpool 0 great day stevie. I think on his way out out of Scotland he should be given a commemorative hub cab inscribed with his daft comments.
Pmsl
I concur 🙂
Una, would it not be fair (after Pedro’s antics) to describe both of them as roses amongst thorns? Whaegiesafuk anyway?
FC not PLC
HH
Come On You Bhoys In Green today, yesterday is history but you/we can make more History this season with a QUADRUPLE TREBLE, yes,the NINE above all else but, at home, 12 outa 12 ain’t bad. FFS, the great Meatloaf was ‘happy’ with 2 outa 3!
🙂
Oh there you are, that nust have been some pile of ironing?
Good to see you back Una bomber.
Leverkusen will steamroller the Govanite shoite on their next European night out. Fkn numpties!
I’ll take a narrow winner for the Good Germans.
I expected them to be well beaten in Warsaw, Porto, Rotterdam, Berne and Braga but it never happened.
Leverkusen are a class or 2 above that so hopefully this time.
Its baffling how they can dig it out in Europe but are woeful in Scotland.
Funny as feck thought! 🙂
