Gordon Strachan GTF!!

Too many passengers in that team.  The Ginger one doesnt seem to know who his best XI when thats the case its time to go.  Useless we barsteward!!

gave?

behave yourself

good luck in the scottish cup

shipp it!!

Behave yourself bandit, not even the most ardent rangers fan would say the title is over. Strachan is doing ok. 9 league wins in a row before dundee utd, who are a much improved team, draw the tenth game and you want him to go ffs????

Since when have celtic fans 'conceded' the title in mid march? even when we were 15 points behind rangers we still (maybe stupidely) believed we could win the league.

Keep the Faith.

From the turn of the year I believed in order to win the league we would have to win every game to win the title.  Now last night was the perfect opportunity to apply pressure our next 6 games are away from home and we will struggle to win all of them. 

As for Strachan he has went from one calamity to the next I have been patient enough with him but he has just doesn't have a clue.  Since he took over he still hasn't solved our defensive problems his record in the transfer market Naka and Boruc aside has been pretty dam poor he hasn't managed to defeat the Loyal Cardigan and the vermin since he came back. 

We struggled in so many of those 9 SPL games, we have dropped points in games this season thats just not acceptable to Celtic.  His team selection in Barcelona!!  He's a wee fud - and then as recently as the weekend just passed he tells the press it doesn't matter what fans think - our opinions don't matter to him.

Obviously celtic expect to win the league every season and rightly so but a dont think strachans that bad of a manager getting you to k/o stages of cl 2yrs running is excellent with the team you had you even took the winners to extra time surely he's entitled to draw 1 win 9 out of 10.

Bandits right ... sack strachan !

And Fergie, how dare he lose to pompey... and Ramos, won a trophy ..so what, we lost on pens last night ... sack every manager who lost their last game I say !!

:D :D :D :D :D :D

2 be fair tho it wasnt fergies fault it was the refs, as for the others they've got 2 go.

strachan must stay, i smell a quadruple AND a whitewash

Its Rangers title to lose. Celtic need at least 7 points from the remaining 3 OF games IMO & that just aint gonna happen with our central midfield.

They are discussing the possible ramifications of Gretna going into administration on Sky Sports just now. 

It seems that if all Gretna's games are disregarded, all associated points would be lost and  Celtic would go top but Rangers would have 2 games in hand....

The whole Gretna thing just goes to show how completely mismanaged Scottish footie is. All clubs should have the money to keep running for an entire season..if not you should not be given a pro-license.

Brooks was paying things from his own pocket and the club was skint...it's a joke. If Brooks wanted to own a club he should have stuck a few million into the club directly that from then on in would no longer be his money.

i cant see an investor coming in, as it has no assets or fan base

no it has nothing really worth putting money in for. Rangers should put up the 30k to bail them out now I think just so they can still win the title but that's it.

I couldn't believe it was only 35k they should just ask a premiership player from the big 4 to give a days wages you never no 1 of them might hmm!!!!!!!

Sacking Strachan would be a huge mistake because he is a very good manager, and I don't think that Celtic could attract a better manager than Strachan. :dontask:

Sam Allardyce. He would do well in a smaller league.

Nonsense mate.

Strachan has a knack of making good players bad, he is tactically naieve and despite being in control for almost 3 years the Celtic team hasn't improved.  He plays players out of position to the detriment of the team, the list of complaints is endless.  He has never been accepted at Celtic, but has got by because we where winning now when a POOR Rangers side are putting us under pressure he is being shown up for the poor manager he is. 

He carries a degree of luck that is undeniable but he has to go if Celtic are to improve. 

Mark McGhee, Tony Mowbray, Roy Keane are all names the fans like.  I think all would be welcomed.  My personal choice would be McGhee with Roy Aitken as his number 2.

Realistic targets. 

ffs bandit, his team selection in barcelona????? name any manager that would have picked a celtic team that would have got a result against barcelona. We're just not in their league. Agreed we haven't been great under strachan but he has got the job done in his 2 seasons so far and judgement should be reserved until may. As for conceding the tilte, then i think you will be in the minority. we have struggled through games during the last 9 games, but we have WON them. a draw last night not the end of the world. I hope your wrong.

i'm not saying any manager would have got a result in Barca mate.  But look at it this way we went to Barcelona needing to win by 2 clear goals to have a chance of progression.  Before we went Strachan went on about how it didn't matter the opposition - he mentioned the fact that there would be so many thousand tims would be there and he had a duty to have a go .....

Then he goes plays 1 up front and drops our top scorer ffs!

In another game this season he dropped McDonald claiming he needed a rest and then played him in a meaningless CIS cup game

He has for the past season refused to play Balde in favour of that useless ba**ard Caldwell to the detriment of the team.   i am not a Balde fan but he's the best we have.

He has squandered money in the transfer market on players and IMO he has not strengthened the team.

JVOH or John Hartson??

Lee Naylor has been terrible since we went out CL last season yet continues to get a game whenever he is fit.  Strachan went and wasted money on midfielder we didn't really need when his priority should have been a Centre-back and a left back.

Most recently as I stated in an earlier post he stated that the opinions of the fans don't matter - this is the shit he is telling player.

Fecking waking up call we the fans pay your fucking wages!

Excellent shout Tighty but I really don't think we would get Big Sam.  I am sure he has already been lined up for a job in the summer.

Bandit

really, you've got it good

try supporting a genuinely bad team and then complain

yep he got it wrongish in barca, his reasoning was to keep a clean sheet and frustrate barca lol. was it 2 mins or 3 mins we lasted???

Dont give up on celtic yet. Remember rangers still have to win their games in hand!! and come to celtic twice. Its not over yet.

is there any other sort in Scotland  :dontask:

I've supported well since I can remember I have been going to games at home, away and in europe since the age of 6 on a regular basis - througout the majority of that period we struggles, I know what its like when the team are bad.  I also know what the good times are like.  What I can't stand is when we have players/managers who are not good enough for my club. 

Last night was the straw that broke the camels backl.  We have been kidding ourselves on this season, every time we have had an opportunity to put pressure on the Rats of Govan we have faultered.  The blame of that lies with the manager, the buck stops with him.  He is inadequate and needs replaced.

Never give up on Celtic mate just that useless wee ginger tit!

and his band of merry men - JVOH, Caldwell, Naylor etc!

bandit.

be straight with me please.

do you like strachan or not?

Can't stand him.  But that has never really been an issue for me mate, I gave him the support and backing for 2 years when Celtic fans who felt some sort of emotional attachment to MON got on his back at every turn.  But as time goes on I am becomimg increasingly frustrated with him.

Bandit says we lose the title. Hope he put money on it ;)

Sandy

PMSL Mark McGhee?? 

Oh please let that happen.

Aberdeen have scored! :o

It's ok, Samaras is getting warmed up.

how do you think Iron will be feeling now?..leading but only 1-0 and knowing Celtic always fluke a goal in the last 5 minutes.

Strachan tae fuck!

Unfuckingbelievable - same old Strachan picking shit teams, wi shit tactics ans using the same old changes.  Get tae fcuk ya wee ginger nob!

I take it the Glasgow Celtic did not perform to the best of their abilities tonight, Bandit?

dire.

nice result for iron.

No mate it was absolutely shocking, I never even bothered going the night.  I just had a feeling it was going to be bad.  We have been terrible in our last few games,  And wee gingerbaws is incapable of changing things.

I dont get why he starts with donati and brown - its been proven all season not to work.

Donnati just doesn't have what it takes to play in Scotland.  I thought he looked good at the start but as the season goes on he has got worse.

Brown has to be the most overrated player in Scotland, last season I believed all the hype.  But since he has signed for us he has been terrible.

We lack leadership on and off the park. 

Last season I was lauging at the vermin when they had all their problems - how they must be laughing at us now, god I cringe at the thought of having to face any of them the morra.  Urrrgh!!

That pretty much sums it up, Celtic have been pretty hopeless all season, I knew after about 4 games that Donati was no good & Brown is embarrassingly bad but ultimately it all boils down to Strachan, 3 years is plenty long enough at Celtic or Rangers for a manager, time for a change next season when it'll probably be our turn again.

 

I agree.. when he was playing for Hibs he only had one good season and that's ussually the problem with young scottish players. They have one good season and are immediatly percieved to be potential world beaters and the Old Firm really want to buy the for over inflated prices. Look how the "great" Steven Naismith is doing at Rangers.

bleh the league isn't over and strachan is a good manager with one huge problem 'stubborness'.

For some unknown reason once he makes a decision it stays and people telling him he's made a bad decision makes him even more reluctant to right that wrong.

There are players in the team that SHOULD NOT be wearing the hoops at the moment and some that are not even squad players Caldwell,Naylor,Sno,Donati,JVOH these same cuplrits are making mistakes time and time again which are costing us games...

With regards to brown when he performs he is worth the cash we payed for him however he isn't having a good season maybe the run-in will see a turn in fortune. IMO I'd like to see Samaras start every game, Balde in for Caldwell, Hartley pairing with Robson in midfield and Riordan to be used more as an impact sub

SJ

Baws mate, for us to win the league we're going to need them to slip up twice and that ain't looking like happening.  They have a will to win that we don't - they are playing as a team unlike our shower of shite who just look like 11 guys running about a picth with no direction, leadership or desire.

Strachan is a good mnager?  Quantify that one?  any time he has been faced with a challenge he has failed.  He's a lucky manager, and maybe if I was to go with you and say it was all down to stubborness then if he hasn't the ability to change that trait then he should be sent packing.  Lets be honest he should never really have got the Celtic job in the first place. 

How often has Brown "played" and showed he has been worth the money.  In all the big games this season he has been posted missing. He takes too many touches on the ball, doesn't deliver that killer pass, certainly doesn't protect the defence can't seem to score and worse of all that grates me his indiscipline - he gives away so many free kicks and picks up stupid yellow cards.

Your right about the players who you say aren't good enough to be wearing the Hoops, but I wouldn't stop with them.  In recent weeks the only players who have shown any worth to the cause have been Boruc and McGeady.  But 2 men can't win the league.

I definitely wouldn't start Samaras in every game, each time he comes off the bench he looks as if he could achieve something but when he has started IMO he has looked really poor.  I'd deffo get Robson and Hartley back in they're both up for a fight and can play a bit of football as well as tackle.  I'd also make Hartley captain - this seems to be quite a common cry amongst hoops the now - but as much as like Big Mick he has no real leadership qualities, and he needs to be paired alongside a decent centre-half because his game is becoming weaker due to the continued inclusion of Caldwell.

surely Nakamura should be included in the Boruc and McGeady list?

love this thread :)

What has Naismith done wrong?  Apart from being a little inconsistent which can be put down to not getting a consistent run in the side and being shunted left right and centre when he has played.  He would be in my side every week, however he has time on his side and I've no doubt that in the forthcoming years he will establish himself as a first team regular.  

So they REALLY  wanted a player whom they never (rarely) use and who is then shunted? This is the problem..Naismith hasn't done anything and going to Rangers has done nothing for his skills/talent. I hope young players look at Naismith and then say "That's not gonna be me, I'll stick at my smaller club for a while longer"

I watched Celtic last night. They were awful.
I can't believe one of your players said Barca should be scared of McGeady. He was shocking.

Where's the little ginger fella gone that scored against Barca?

eh?  You have lost me there mate.  Naismith has featured regularly this season and will not be shunted anywhere trust me.  Also I'm sure playing alongside better players and having the use of better facilities, coaching etc will have done plenty for his skills/talent.

lol...I was quoting you. You said

Fair point..anyways..I'm sorry about Hijacking this thread..after all it's all about Celtic being shyte.

we shagged all the sheep
we shagged all the sheep
then we went and thumpt the celtic
like they were asleep

 rotflmfao

hope you win it now iron.

100% spot on Matt, thats the precise changed id make at this point!

I wouldn't play Nakamura the rest of the season mate........one word sums him up....


....Passanger!
