This thread has been ruined by a sad ego.

That gives the troll too much power.
The thread is being ruined by 'amadánites' (followers of the amadán) who persist in having social intercourse with the troll.

Maybe it's time the MOD's gave a warning out to stop winding people up, i know he has not said anything to warrant a ban but he/she is being a nuisance.

Like i said last night, i could see early in the game where we were weak and after the last 20 mins at Celtic Park they troubled us at right back when Lustig went of injured. They certainly targeted that area last night and Janko duly obliged, Celtic def need a new right back. I know Lustig will play there when everyone is fit but he is injury prone and def need cover there as S Janko seems to out of his depth. How will Simunovic fit into the team when he's fit? will he be main centre half? and if so who will partner him? Toure or Sviatchenko? What happened O'Connell last night that he wasn't on the bench? was he injured, suspended or dropped?

The Hapoel coach pretty much highlighted that they would be probing Celtic's weakness  on their left side where they made hay last week. All being well with the team from 1st leg, the obvious back 4 was Lustig, O'Connell, Toure and Tierney. Possibly Lustig wasn't fit enough for RB duties, possibly O'Connell was injured, possibly both,  who knows? Janko's even younger than O'Connell and demonstrably a much less competent player.
Celtic scraped home in this tie, in the end  that fortuitous late 5th goal in the 1st leg was the exact difference between winning or losing.
Best player over the 2 legs was Hapoel's nr.9 (from Nigeria?), what could it cost to meet his transfer fee?

wouldn't disagree with that, i believe a right back, a creative midfielder and a striker is needed badly

Firstly a football fan being critical of his own club's manager is an everyday occurrence.

Secondly,when I alluded to the immediate impact good managers have made at big clubs I was not referring to David Moyes,who is like the current Celtic manager,a proven catastrophic failure at a big club,and is also no way suitable for the Celtic post.

Thirdly it is laughable to read all the experts pointing out the areas of the team which are weak,when the most glaring weakness is in the dugout.

We have landed in the group stages of the Champions League by accident rather than design and any understandable delirium should be tempered with a reality check.Our performances to date,scraping past three teams that none of us could have named a player from two months ago,gives no reason for optimism that we can live in the group stages.Personally Dundalk's Stephen Kenny would engender more confidence from me at any rate,if he was in the Celtic dugout instead of the overpaid clown who is there at present.

you really need to quit tiny. You're just wrong. We are in the CL because we won 3 qualifying rounds and deserve it. You wanna talk about being in the Champions League by default try being in it because you finished third in the worlds most over rated league

[T Fearon]

Just how far we are off the pace is about to be demonstrated sadly.No heroic victories like in the days of O'Neill Strachan,and Lennon.

This is very true Tony. Lots of football fans criticise and critique their own clubs performances. Most of my friends do so on social media like Twitter, which is the perfect way to get a point across. Yet, despite the amount of anger and annoyance you appear to have about the current Celtic regime, you fail to use the precise tool at your fingertips to register your disgust.

It emphasises the different guises that you have. The GAABoard WUM that enjoys having an opposing view and getting into endless and tedious arguments, and Tony Twitter, who tweets photos of Klinsmann and Lineker and celebrates the anniversary of England winning the World Cup.

Funny how you never have any comeback to actual points. I guess we shall wait and see if you are proven to be right or not

I was around the first time and I just want to see Celtic restore their European reputation for football,not for stadium atmosphere and for the likes of Pirlo and Messi tell us we have phenomenal fans and stadium (but a shite team).The manager has done nothing in his first two months in charge to inspire confidence or justify the huge investment

Its not unreasonable for us to get a manager like david moyes or malky mckay who would both be decent options for us at this stage.

I agree.But will Moyes take the job?

Checkmate

That was taken out of context.When candidates were thin on the ground,Moyes looked like a reasonable option after Ronny's departure was announced as he knows the club and has long experience of the EPL.But on reflection I don't think he would have been a good choice.
