The Offical Glasgow Celtic thread

[JimStynes]

Will everybody please just admit Tony has been right about Mowbray all along. That is a complete joke of a result 

Just because he's your uncle's mate, you're licking his hole now....

Nothing to do with it, him being related to my uncle isnt a thing to be proud of  But Tony has been saying for ages now that Mowbray was shite and no1 wanted to admit it even though it was clear to see that Mowbray was indeed a shit manager. After tonight nobody can hide from the truth.

Tony was right

unfortunately too many posters on this put pride before the fall

Hardly rocket science was it?? Been blatantly obvious for a good few months now that Mowbray is totally out his his depth. Ross County will be fancying themselves for the Scottish Cup if the hapless Tony is still in charge when that game comes along. On that note which poster was saying Yogi Hughes was a great manager who could do a job for Celtic? . Another guy like Mowbray who talks too much about his football philosophy but cant get winning results to back it all up.

No treble for the Huns though .

[tyroneStatto]

i can imagine the only thing now keeping mowbray in a job is that celtic are still in the cup.

[lynchbhoy]

will Celtic stump up the cash to get a decent manager next time?

I very much doubt that Mowbray will go and should not go before the end of the season, when there is a cup final to be won.

While his team selection was poor, the players are to blame for last nights fiasco. But mowbray has not installed the right attitude etc.
Of the players that left this season, only robson is missed. Midfield poor and I thought Crosas should be on, Rassmussen HAS to start and my mother is a better right back than wilson.
OK maybe mowbray was resting players now that the league is obv lost, but thats still not good enough.

Getting rid of Mowbray now will only enhance Celtic's chances in the Scottish Cup. Not one of his signings has been a success, his tactics are woeful, he cannot motivate and indeed Celtic are a team without leaders, while the likes of Hartley, Mc Manus and Robson, all competetent leaders, are wasting their time in the Englsh Championship.Even quality players like Keane and Mc Geady are crap now

Interesting to hear Mc Avennie and Burley last night almost pleading for him to go immediately.

While Strachan's time was up last summer, I felt the team he left behind required only minro adjustments in midfield , left back and another striker. Mowbray has ripped a good core apart for replacements who are demonstrably worse thah waht was there already.

Also if Strachan had had the luxury of bringing in Robbie Keane last January Celtic would have won four titles in a  row.

[Club Rossa]

That was a humiliation last night.Christ,things are really bad when St Mirren can dish out a hammering like that.Not even a Scottish cup win will save Mowbray now,that's if he's still there for the semi final.

[Doogie Browser]

He has to go, primarily because they let me down for a great bet last night!  Had West Brom, Blackburn, Chelsea and Celtic all HT/FT

balls tony - only robson (when not inj as he has been for most of the past two seasons) would be an addition in the team.
N'Guemo a v good player. Tactically mowbray is on a par with strachan - so far its poor.
the Celtic team were obv so good they had lost a massive lead in the league and were runners up.
thats hardly the sign of a good team to take over.
imo they were rubbish. the sam players were rubbish until Jan.
Mowbrays new signings are good and bad.
brafield - great going forward - cant defend (same as fox - who left as his missus wanted out of scotland)
hoiveld - injured since he joined
Rogne - looked great but inj most of the time since he joined too
fortune - cant play against packed defences
rasmussen - looks great but Mogga keeps him on the flippin bench !
ki - ok at times
zheng - ok at times , not good enough for hard tackling football imo
Keane - great because he's Irish, but takes too many chances to miss before he scores.


A new manager wont be appointed before the end of the season, so Mowbray needs to stay to keep some semblence of continuity and stability for the cup.

Any man that has Celtic in his football bet deserves to lose money!!
What were you thinking?

I know, I know!
I was sucked into the 'must win' aspect of the game and the fact Rangers beat St Mirren with about 6 men on Sunday!

Been said countless times but its obvious he should have kept a few of the players he didnt fancy long term, people like Robson, McManus or even Hartley, to help him through the season or two that he was building a new team. He ripped the heart out of the previous squad and replaced it with loan signings, there is a lack of character and spirit in that squad. The squad left by Strachan needed surgery but Mowbray has botched it and left a shambles.

You say N'Guemo is a very good player. He has had his moments but overall pretty middling. In the aftermath of the previous Old Firm game was he talking about the match and what it meant to have lost? No he was wondering where he would be playing when his loan was up, saying he might stay with Celtic but would prefer to try and move to England. The other loan men much the same, all saying they are only there for the short term. Totally wrong attitude and you wouldnt have had that from people like Robson and Hartley. Mowbray clearly didnt rate the squad he inherited but the way he has gone about 'improving' it has been laughable. Nobody has explained to me yet the paradox of Mowbray asking for time to get his long term project in place whilst filling his team with short term loan signings. 

Some fans on here are obsessesed with talking down Strachan and are blinded by that. They should forget Strachan, this is all about Mowbray and the mess he alone has created at Parkhead.

Very simple, this time last year we had the Cis Cup in the cabinet and were strongly in contention for the league.

This year we have no trophies, the league is a lost cause and we're suffering our worst domestic humiliation in 30 years and its not ven Rangers who are responsible

That scenario sums up the managers last year and this year and I know which one I'd rather have.

[the colonel]

That craic about losing those players is pure balls. McManus was absolutely horrible for the last year. Brutal defender. If Robson was so good why was he no use up until January? Hartley was steadyish but couldn't cross the half way line. Never showed half the ability he did at hearts. Skippy was wanting to go. Only one I would have kept was Caldwell. Next thing will be that big Jan shouldn't have left either! Catch a grip lads, but it is Mowbray's time to go.

[tyroneStatto]

mowbray has to walk and preferably today. his position is untenable.
