The Offical Glasgow Celtic thread

Come on the Hoops

[tyroneStatto]

the mowbray honeymoon seems to be well and truly over...

[Gaoth Dobhair Abu]

Another crap show on Saturday. Was talking to a lad who was there and he said it was ten times worse than anything Strachan ever produced

Watched the match in a pub in Ardoyne, George McCluskey was in attendence and was as disgusted at Celtic's lack of ability and return in the final third of the pitch as we were. In fairness we had most of the possession, but have no defense or strike force to worry any opposition atm.

Well here's hoping we can beat an under strength Hamburg side this week.

I watched the match in my mothers house (dunno what satellite she has, the language was in Scandinavian i think) and TBh that Celtic team r going to put me in an early grave, they just seem to be deteriorating that we bit every year and it's hard to watch. We def need another 2 defenders and I'm not happy with our strike force at all, i don't care how many goals McDonald scores he's not Celtic class and should be moved on or at least kept on the bench for when things aren't working out. Nick the Greek has actually got good skill but is a lazy hoor and just does not work hard enough and he slows everything down, don't even get me started on the rest of the strikers.

The good forwards we've had over the years and now look what we have...it makes me sick TBH

C Nicholas
Dalglish
McGarvey
Burns
McGhee
McAvennie
Larsson
Sutton
Hartson
V Hoojdonk
Di Cannio
Dariusz Dziekanowski
Jorge Cadete
Lubo Moravcik
Mark Viduka
Brian McClair
Petrov
P McStay
Andy Walker

I know there are a few midfielders threw in there but they could score goals...now compare most of todays team to men mentioned above...Seriously WTF

[rossie mad]

poor result but the well always seem to put it up to us but i thought in celtic park we would get three points.

Im going to be patient in regards mowbray.He isnt a bad manager. When he was with hibs they were a joy to watch and were very hard to beat.

With west brom a run away promotion and not enough financial clout to stave off relegation.
The squad he inherited seem to have lost confidence and this is probably from a poor last season.

The hamburg match is a must win in my eyes not only in relation to the competition but also regards getting back confidence.

Would like to see a couple of signings in january with a few bits of dead wood gotton rid off starting with caldwell,naylor,wilson,samaras and robson.

Passengers in my eyes.

this is arguably the worst hoops team in 20 years. its defo the worst lot of centre backs we have ever had, caldwell yapping for more money, he is a clown of the first order and that other clown McManus, them two lads make bobo look first class. strachan for all his faults is miles better than t.m. Result needed tommorow night or the boo boys will dominate the stadium.

its the worst collection of strikers we've had in decades also
since hartson left we hav had nothing but donkey after donkey up front

[Gaoth Dobhair Abu]

Islam Feruz (14 years old!) came on for Scotland Under 17's v Cyprus did fantastic to set up a goal and was unlucky not to score one himself!

Rubbish this is not TM's team. He needs time to build his own team.

exactly, the team v motherwell did not include any of tm's signings, this is still strachans team and celtic are still paying for wgs fuk ups

[rossie mad]

In fairness mowbray is dealing with a squad that was assembled by a different management and is now low in confidence as ive already stated.

Another problem is the quality of the SPL diminishing in the last ten years.
Its taking its toll on the old firm clubs now with players now only joining from relegation fodder clubs in the premiership or good players from the championship.

Rangers were hammered last night and in fairness it is a fairly poor rangers side in my eyes compared to the sides managed by advocaat and mcleish.

Our european form is a mixed bag as well and this has big repercussions for scotlands co efficent if this form continues then only one champions league spot  only being given to scotland in the next couple of years.

Hibs and dundee utd seem like they may keep on the old firm tails this year and may even sneak a 2nd spot if one of the big two go through a rough patch in the league.
However this depends on the Hibees and the Arabs also maintaining consistency which hasnt been the case in the last few years.

I fear for the hamburg game as this german side are top of their league but hopefully if the crowd gets the team going we hopefully will sneak a win.

he needs to build his own team surely but who is he bringing in.. rejects from west brom and charlton. under TM our home European pedigree has been destroyed in a matter of two months. we have lost to the worst hun team in decades, we cant score, we cant defend. a decent manager should be able to organise a team. FFS his last job he gets his side relegated and the Celtic board give him a job. the fall out from this will be disastrous. i hope i am wrong but cant see it. we need a win tomorrow night. end off.

Yiz can't afford any better. The SPL is a sinking ship and regardless of how big Celtic and Rangers think they are, they're going down on her too.

[Gaoth Dobhair Abu]

A GOOD win is what is required tonight, we have home advantage, few injuries and are facing a Hamburg team missing possibly 8 of their team (not all regulars though).
Anything less then 3 points and we can pretty much kiss group stages goodbye.

I'll stick my head out and go for a Celtic win 3-1.

When Celtic are underdogs they usually perform well and like Goath i'm going for a 2-1 win for the Hoops
