The Offical Glasgow Celtic thread

[Sidney]

Reading Chris Suttons book right now, fantastic book, he is a good guy as well as a great player and Celtic legend. Scathing about strachan and how he treated him. only copper fastens my opnion on the wee useless ginger t**t

Strachan was an excellent manager with Celtic. Certainly better than Martin O'Neill.

Technically Celtic (like most scots and english sides - well with Scots, english, Irish, welsh players in them) will always be outgunned technically by euro sides. However organisation and tactics play a massive part in counteracting better ball skills.
Celtic looked mostly comfortable last night, and indeed as they have done v barca and milan !

Ambrose is a great example. He is majestic in defending, but like last season in CL he runs up blind alleys and gets caught in posession or gives the ball away (same as Wanyama did too).

Mulgrew shows how great strachan was at being able to pick good players.
MS - was wondering what you thought of Forrest last night. still has a lot to learn, final delivery needs to be improved. Also needs coaching on how to beat his man.
Celtic are still way off what they could be. certainly far more in that squad - they have potential.

A while ago I posted a link to an article about Forrest and his ongoing injuries, mainly a constant crippling sciatica issue, probably that explains why he has struggled to make the progress these past 2 seasons, that you and Tony expected of him. This season, in the last few games, he's showing more and more glimpses of his talent. That strike against Hibernian in particular, any player who can bend a shot like that with the outside of right foot coming in from the left side, has some bits of class in his tool box. He's also excellent at covering, a speedy wee runt!

not according to Sutton and other snipets ive heard over the years
but we all have our own opinions.
interesting to hear it in the book of one of his former players though - he even states that MON was a way better manager.
who am I to argue with a guy that played for both.

I know you did chief. only joking with you.
However, I still think he has a long way to go yet, but has fantastic potential and apparantly is a great lad

Look who I met while enjoying Celtic V Ajax with hospitality tickets!

It's a man with handlebars, in a pink shirt.

nice pic Tone.
yeah hes a great guy. I used to have regular conversations with him about Celtic when he first bought that £10millions worth of shares.
he is a real sports enthusiast. told me at one point 6 months after that , to watch out for real madrid and put a few quid on them winning the CL or euro cup (whatever it was called then) the next season.
At the time real were sihte and barely doing ok in the spanish league, so  thought 'ya know business mr Desmond but you dont know soccer' - not the next year but the year after real did win the CL.
he had been meeting the madrid president at training camps and friendly matches between celtic and real in marbella - who told him of the plans madrid had.

anyhow, a decent man and a massive GAA, soccer, horsey, golf and sports man.

Yes! He obviously doesn't know me though! Told me it was nice to meet me!

I'm for Amsterdam next week, are any of you lads going over? meet you for a bun and a pint?

Are you famous enough for Tony? probably he would deem you beneath a space in his photo library. Maybe you're worthy of an entry into the basement folder,  characters he can mingle with, without out having to act the lickspittle.

Ahh Jasus i wouldn't be in Tony's league but I'd hope Tony could get me a ticket as of now i still haven't got one . In saying all that Tony is now into TV so you're probably right he wouldn't have much time for us peasants...

[T Fearon]

Now now! I'm not averse to being photographed with mere mortals!

Bit dodgy in Amsterdam next week, after the behaviour of the Dutch fans at Celtic Park (I see Celtic have sent Ajax a bill for £25k to cover the damage). If I see any tickets available from Celtic fans on twitter, I'll let you know.

Travel safe and hopefully you will return home with three points and without any STDs!

Fixed that for you Tony, apparently there we 200-300 Rangers fans at the game and that come from a Ranges fan i know living in Glasgow.

Yes Tony if you hear of a spare ticket give a PM ASAP...cheers

Will do! Good luck!
