The Offical Glasgow Celtic thread

[tyroneman]

Ronnie has win trophies,something Tommy Burns hadn't done when Raith beat Celtic

Ronnie has no legitimate opposition in Scotland. He's managing a team that is in a one horse race and not doing it very well. With no Rangers anymore the minimum expected is winning whatever domestic comp he enters.

And TB, while no great manager either, at least played better football.

The state Rangers were in it should have taken them 10 yrs to catch back up but if they get promoted this year I can see them being as good/crap as Celtic and no reason why they couldnt win the SPL next year which would show just how little Celtic have done in the last 4 yrs. The way things are going Celtic might even be pipped by Aberdeen to the title this year which would be a disgrace. No he has got to go. As for Giggs Celtic would be a more realistic prospect for him. People saying he should get the United job is crazy. Man Utd need an experienced manager with a good track record to get them going again the idea that they would give Giggsy a go other than interim/caretaker is laughable.

Big pressure on Ronny tonight.Hard to see him surviving a defeat by the sheepshaggers

[general_lee]

Good riddance. Celtic actually the better team but if it means Ronnie out and a few of the players with him ill be happy enough

[Milltown Row2]

Aberdeen were 3/1 tonight..... Is it a case that the players want rid of the manager?

[T Fearon]

What are the options? Who will take the job,and could Pep Guardiola do any better with players like Ambrose? I don't think there'll be any knee jerk reactions.Celtic still top the league and I think they will have to lose the title before there's a change.

When the constraints were such that even a dyed in the wool Celtic man like Neil Lennon felt he had to leave,who is there to take over from Ronny,and do any better?

[JPGJOHNNYG]

Somebody else wouldnt do any worse. For a start he keeps picking Ambrose who costs Celtic game after game with his mistakes. Why does he persist with him after years wnd years of absolute clangers. If there is no money then give youth a chance. Celtic although light years from prem league teams are still an attractive option for young irish and scots players. If you have potential will you sign for celtic hamilton portadown or longford let me think ....

Be honest boys.  The whole thing is a bit pointless minus Rangers.

Awful result. Team selection was woeful. with the exception of Griffiths and Tierney there was no passion. Scott Brown was only interested in acting the hardman. No leadership on our off the field. At this rate Aberdeen will win the league.

That's all Scott Brown has ever done imo. Dreadful player.
Wouldn't be just wonderful if Aberdeen did win it.

Why would that be wonderful? are you an Aberdeen supporter? What connections do you have with them? This sickens my hole TBH as the portion of Ireland that supports Celtic the rest want to see them beat. You don't support any other team in that Country and Celtic having the Irish connections you'd rather see Rangers/Aberdeen or any other team for that matter win the title...and if you've no interest in Celtic (look at the title of the thread) why come in and try to wind people up (we've already got Fearon for that)

[T Fearon]

When I had the privilege of spending a day at Lennoxtown 2 years ago I got a feel for the frustration of the youth a academy staff who felt they were producing good young players who would never get a chance at first team level.Sadly that's the case when you aspire to qualify for the  Champions League.You cannot afford to gamble with youth.

Celtic still top the league and are in the Scottish Cup and you even wonder if some of these defeats are engineered to keep interest and bums on seats at Celtic Park.

Either way Ronny's going nowhere,except he fails to win the title.

illdecide I think in regards to Aberdeen winning the title people might want it because it might bring about change at celtic and make them see they cant sit on their arse and do nothing, celtic have really fell away and in regards to youth development Tony they should have been using the years Rangers were out of the league to promote youth through the system but that didn't happen either now they are to scared to.
I think Delia has to go and bring in a young hungry manager who has a bit of tactical sense, problem is wages for managers in the championship probably beat what celtic pay these days.

The Irish Connection thing is resigned to history . . . what exactly is the Irish connection to the Club now? There are more Englishmen on the team than Irish players.

What I see now is a virtual monopoly on the Scottish Premier League and why wouldn't anyone want to see someone new come in and break the mould. Celtic supporters should be looking for it too as the lack of genuine competition has seen the board try and maintain the club on a shoestring which has led to the decline in quality of manager since Strachan really.

It was said at the time that Celtic couldn't cope with the loss of Rangers and so it has transpired. For the better of football in Scotland overall I think an Aberdeen Premier League victory would be refreshing!

If you ever go to a Celtic game you will realise the Irish connection is as strong as ever with the fans.

Football without fans, is nothing.

That is what the great Jock Stein said and the fans of the club certainly seem to identify strongly with their Irish heritage.
