The Offical Glasgow Celtic thread

[T Fearon]

Steady on lads, we don't know the full story here. For all his faults Strachan seems to be his own man and not swayed by what anyone thinks and he has delivered three in a row and two last 16s in the Champions League.

Big Jock fell out with practically every member of the 1967 team yet he wasn't criticised.

how the f**k can you even begin to compare the 2, 3 in a row with a terrible rangers team, and last 16 on the same 9 points which never delivered before, also this seasons champ league was a bad show, i see he has bought another derry city midfielder, strachan and jock????catch yourself on!

strachan is on borrowed time and another old firm defeat would go a long way to seeing him out the door!!

[lynchbhoy]

talk about shooting ourselves in the foot
strachan must go  - to blackburn or sunderland.

Celtic need a top quality manger who is not tactically inept in europe

[tyroneStatto]

please go now Gordon

The biscuit tin will be full to the brim of fivers and tenners once Aiden gets sold

I think we have a new version of this mentality at the minute, just about spend enough to keep in front of rangers, buy up any half decent footballers in scotland to take away from the other teams and keep getting in the CL money so no-one else can afford to buy.

I've said it years ago but Celtic Ltd seems to be the focus of the club these days, not the footballing end of things..why else would we be looking at pinniing hopes in the CL on a 19 year old Cavan lad up front, full backs that can't cross a ball and a poor centre half that is pushed into midfield and told he's Zidane.

Right lets get this straight, a player can abuse the manager and undermine his authority and be let off? Also the Board of Directors (and there are not too many mugs sitting on it) back the manager 100% in his decision to discipline the player?

Blinkers off lads. No player is bigger than the club and if the Board back Strachan on this then young Aiden must have stepped seriously out of line. Bigger and better players, such as Viduka, have been allowed to leave for serious breaches of discipline in the past.

On a lighter note I am reading Bertie Auld's biography currently and it is a great read. He describes how he smuggled his brother into his hotel room on the eve of the European Cup Final in Lisbon and let him stay there and the brother had to hide under the bed every time he heard big Jock coming up the corridor A great read and one I recommend

Fearon's 100% on this. McGeady seems to be a disruptive influence, or perhaps just a bit mouthy. Didn't Lennon have problems with him as well?

Some will use this as fodder for the Strachen-Out campaign even though he has been their most successful manager since, well, as long as I can remember, probably the early 70s.

Lets just hope that WGS goes before Aidan does in Jan.
Strachan has shown throughout his managerial career a tendency to have favourites and fall out with players - eg: Aidan, Bobo and Lee "f**king" Naylor! This is not good, WGS has done as much as he can a Celtic, it's time for him to move on.

It says something for the plethora of talent in Tyrone when a player can virtually walk from the club/county set-up into one of the world's biggest soccer clubs.  

Minnow neighbours with only one Sam to their name must be wondering how they can ever catch up when we have such players in abundance!

Pure dung.
Strachan has issues with Aidan, this was shown by the fact that Tommy Burns had to act as a sort of intermediory (sp) between the too.
Where is your proof that Aidan is a disruptive influence?
If he's mouthy, then maybe he has a point, left out of CL matches and brought on in SPL matches with 15 mins to go, he's one of the few really good players we have and he's sitting on the bench when not injured!!
FFS would Alex Ferguson leave Ronaldo on the bench if he was fit to play, or would Micky Harte leave Sean Cavanagh out?
Btw I supported the wee ginger bollocks throughout, arguing with Celtic supporting mates constantly, who would have been Strachan out supporters from the start, this has now made me a diehard "get the Wee Ginger Shite out"
Finally, the success we have had has already been put into context by Ifdown2.

Yeah but the Donaghmore turncoat who proudly stands for GSTQ at Wndsor Park will never emulate Neil Lennon, ex Clan Na Gael (Lurgan) and Armagh minor, who became Celtic captain, lifting both the Scottish League and Cup.

True, since Neil Lennon proudly stood for GSTQ for many years, McGinn still has a while to go to catch up....

ex Clan Na Gael (Lurgan) and Armagh minor,

Lennon obviously jumped the Armagh ship as a minor when he saw it was sailing nowhere fast! 

[T Fearon]

Lennon walked away from the North of Ireland squad and showed his contempt by spitting on a bastardised Ulster Flag. Young Mc Ginn pissed his pants when Worthington came calling (only to cap him before the FAI could move in) and ran to Windsor Park. Also he has merely signed for Celtic, we'll wait to see if he ever gets a game. Has he played Gaelic football for Tyrone at any level.

PS Armagh's ship sailed into Port one year earlier than Tyrone's

I read that Mc Geady reckons he is "bigger than Celtic", i love footballers sense of worth and place in the world.
