The Offical Glasgow Celtic thread

[saffron sam2]

Last 5 games: 3 draws (at home) 1 loss and 1 win. 7 points dropped. Rangers 2 ahead with a game in hand. Truly pathetic.

Lennon should have had the wit to learn his trade from the bottom up. Just go. Now.

Er, should that not be nine points dropped.

That is all.

[tyroneman]

Yr right. Even worse (maths not my strong point). Changed that - ta

Still needs to go asap

[Hoof Hearted]

it used to be great heading out to watch a Celtic match, especially aginst the huns, the atmosphere used to be great. But now it's completely different.

I mean, who are these guys (tonights team) ?

26 Forster
03 Izaguirre
05 Majstorovic
11 Cha Du-Ri
25 Rogne
14 McGinn (McCourt 70)
16 Ledley (Brown 66)
18 Ki Sung-Yeung
27 Murphy
49 Forrest
88 Hooper (Stokes 35)

Jesus, gone are the great days of watching Larsson, Sutton, Lambert, McNamara, Balde, Mjallby, Petrov etc etc

[tyroneman]

Only Forrest and Hooper would even make the bench on the last great team of MONs

Oh the days of a home-grown team!

[Clown]

The economics of the SPL dictate that Celtic (and Rangers) can only target Championship players (Hooper, Ledley), players from other SPL clubs (Stokes, Wilson), free transfers or players less than 1.5m (Cha, McCourt, McGinn, Kayal, Majstorovic), loan signings (Forster) or take a chance on young foreigners (Rogne, Izzaguire, Misun, Mizuno, Ki) that no-one has really heard of and hope to develop them into good players. They did sign a mexican international for nearly 3m but for some reason he's not getting a look in under Lennon??

The days of signing players for 5-7m from Premier League and paying them 40grand a week are long over for Celtic. I can't see this changing in the near future, if anything it'll probably get worse
The celtic squad has declined steadily since O'Neills days.

You get what you pay for, I don't expect Celtic to be qualifying for the group stages of the CL anytime soon by buying in these markets, but they should be winning the title from a financially crippled Rangers club. Celtic have out-spent them in transfer windows for years now.

Get intae 'em !!

[The Real Laoislad]

What words are to the song the Celtic fans are singing in the tune of Amhrán Na BhFiann.

[screenmachine]

Possibly the worst standard football I have ever seen on tv. Can't string 2 or 3 passes together and then reverting to a crap long ball.

[ONeill]

Celtic making a better fist of this than I expected. Better side first half.

[tyroneboi]

Samaras is looking like a fcukin world beater here!!

[Archie Mitchell]

Ooh ahh Samaras!

[The Real Laoislad]

Excellent Peno

[BennyHarp]

What Celtic lack in quality they have made up in hard work and effort! Fair play Lennon, a good performance with so many missing! Some decent youngsters there too in Mulgrew, Forest and Wilson!

[Main Street]

A very satisfying performance, even better than watching Barca make EPL teams look inept and clueless. That Kayal is teak tough and a class enough act, would have been my motm, but you'd have to be a real miserly git to deny Samaras that prize.
