The Offical Glasgow Celtic thread

If that was Ronny's team there'd be a protest against the Board outside Celtic Park this minute

Protesting at winning a game 2-0. Good one you 🔔🔚

Well it looks like the manager isn't living in cloud cuckoo land like the rest of you lot.I'll give him credit for being pragmatic.He's not pleased.Next step is for him to address the failings.

[tonto1888]

Rodgers is better than  you give him credit for Tony. I don't think he will shy away from saying things like that

It's absolutely ridiculous for some people on here to suggest Brendan Rodgers has got the backing of the board that Ronny Deila didn't get. Deila got plenty of backing but unfortunately bought too many duds and also couldn't get the team organised. We already look like much more of a cohesive unit under Rodgers and Sinclair is proving to be a great signing and a real fans favourite.

[T Fearon]

It's not the fees it's the salaries.Sinclair and Dembele are earning far more than any of Ronny's signings.There's also the issue of who made the signings in Ronny's era,when it is widely accepted he had signings foisted upon him.

[lynchbhoy]

How dare you mention Neil Lennon's name in the same breath as our current super manager,who deserves a knighthood after tonight's stunning 2 nil win over Alloa,which has instantly banished the disappointment of Barcelona.🙄

why so bitter tony?

I know you were a huge rony fan but this is silly...

almost all fans liked ronny but he wasn't good enought

alloa on a roll at a moment and it's hard beating a form team esp when you make so many changes to your side and disrupt the cohesion

Rogers doing well so far. but id expect better as he has more time . I'd not expect or want similar results v barca again.

best potential manager since MON
we will see if his progression continues.

[Applesisapples]

Mourinho has a much harder task,competing with mega spending neighbours Man City, not to mention Chelsea,Spurs etc.He hasn't the luxury of zero domestic opposition.Also he is manager of arguably the biggest club in the world, in terms of profile,fan base etc

Tony not 3 pages ago you were comparing him favourably to Rodgers in terms of starts. Go off to the OWC and Servco sites where you actually belong and leave rational debate on this thread to those of us who are actual fans, not prawn sandwich eating wannabes. Rodgers inherited a shit squad with no motivation and has managed to show some improvement. Mourinho inherited a set of decent if not world beating players and is struggling. You should look in the mirror before calling anyone Coco.

[Hectic]

2 defensive midfielders and 1 central attacking midfielder and we will not be far off.  Will take a bit of money to get these players in but then this seasons windfall and if it guarantees the same next year and onward then it makes a lot of sense.

As for last night - job done.

Tony's raging cos Rodgers left the wife to chase after a young thing.  Not being a good Catholic etc etc.  That's all it is - if Benny was still playing happy families he'd be a great fella.

And of course a keeper but I am pretty sure Vorm is out of contract next summer so I think that he will be signing up on a pre-contract in January to arrive next summer.

The condition could be called Trollophilia, but unlike Paedophile abuse, Trollophilia can be more likened to S&M. where here adult people consent (possibly take pleasure) to having abuse inflicted upon them by a Troll.
The more people who line up to be abused by the Troll the more it revels and as the appetite for attention increases to obsessive addictive proportions, the more asinine the opinions become.

Can you please tell people to ignore TF again - they missed the first 18,000 times you've told them to

What is Tiny's opinion on Lennon?

[T Fearon]

We need to get away from Ronny crap Brendy great syndrome.As far as I can see they both do or did ok domestically and both were and are crap in Europe.

However Rodgers has been brought in at a huge salary not simply to do better than Ronny but to improve the team substantially.This he has not done nor shown any signs of doing

Did Ronny qualify for CL?
