The Offical Glasgow Celtic thread

[lfdown2]

GDA, can ye rename this the 'Tony Fearon - WGS appreciation thread'

[Lamh Dhearg Alba]

Falkirk are currently enjoying their longest run inthe SPL ever. Currently 5 years thanks to Yogi hughes. Their longest previous run was three years. Hibs are currently one point behind Celtic in the table with a fraction of the resources. John Hughes is a serious contender for the celtic job next time it comes up ( next monday maybe? )

Sounds impressive but pretty misleading as the SPL was only formed in 1998. Falkirk have previously enjoyed much longer spells in the Scottish top flight. Hughes was very fortuntate not to relegate them last season. The reason Hibs are just a point behind Celtic with a fraction of the resources is more down to Celtic's missuse of those resources than anything Hughes is doing. With the players he has been able to sign he should be finishing 3rd and given Mowbray's mess Hughes should really be going all out for 2nd. I would laugh very loudly if Celtic appointed Hughes.

while we are on the subject of dreaming when are you going to wake up from that dream of yours of being a celtic supporter?

'Rossie mad'? Which football team would that be a reference to, I wonder. Oh right, it's a gaelic football team.

Stick to what you know, lad. Square balls, take your points, all that sort of stuff. 

[Minder]

When will it stop being Strachans fault for the current malaise at Celtic and start being Mowbrays?

[T Fearon]

Exactly. For far too many people Mowbray can do no wong and Strachan nothing right. If Celtic had been in the same shambles this time last year, there would hav been protests galore and Strachan would have been sacked.

[Club Rossa]

Leaving aside Strachan,Mowbray has been there long enough now that we should be able to see a marked improvement.Look at the teams we have dropped points against,its ridiculous.
I know that some of the lads on here have said that Celtic's football this season is easier to watch than in previous seasons,but unfortunately its a results business.I had my fill of fancy football when Liam Brady was in charge.
I would love nothing more than for Tony Mowbray to prove the doubters wrong but i honestly think the job is too much for him.

[T Fearon]

Mowbray reminds me a lot of Glen Hoddle. When he was appointed Spurs manager there was widespread euphoria and every Spurs fan was willing him to succeed but he didn't. Surely defeat on Saturday will spell the end of the line for Mowbray (Dunfermline will fancy their chances and remember they knocked Rangers out of the Scottish Cup immediately after Le Guen left), and if this season is to be a write off, far better to go back to the 2000 scenario and let Lennon and Mc Grain look after the first team for the rest of this season and this will give the club 6 to 7 months to get the right permanent replacement.

Tone what's with the Spurs comparisons!
FFS you claim to be a Celtic fan, yet you sound more like Myles every day.
We have 15 games to go, bit less then half a season, WE will WIN the league, and I hope you naysayers choke on your words.

Mowburys taken some gamble with that line up, no mcgeady or keane, if they lose this he'l be collecting his p45 in the morning.

[Archie Mitchell]

1-1 after 20 mins. Celtic all over them, Kamara with the goal then Dunfermline equalised 2 minutes later with first real attack.

[angermanagement]

Great finish by Kamara, school boy defending for the equaliser.

[Galwaybhoy]

If they score this goal it will make it a right good game

[angermanagement]

2-1 defending gets worse.

[Galwaybhoy]

What a game we have on our hands now.

Bring on Keano!

[Archie Mitchell]

Harsh penalty. Let's see how many penalties this ref will give for fouls like that in the box. Think they said before game that this ref has been ref for Celtic's last 2 cup shocks. Caddis at fault for both goals now. Plenty of time left.
