The Offical Glasgow Celtic thread

[illdecide]

Surely the Mods can set up something that could allow the person who started the thread or the Mods themselves to ban dickheads from threads that they continue to poison and ruin for everyone else...(like lock them out of it)

Ziggy get that sorted.

This thread is absolutely ridiculous and must be tough going for Celtic fans

I've been to one Celtic match, Aberdeen @ Parkheed around 2000/2001. They won 6-0, swings and roundabouts men!

Tony posts his thoughts whether it be his opinion or intended to provoke reaction. You don't have to reply to him every time. In fact probably better not to if you want to stay on topic.

In this case my opinion is that Barcelona are far far too good and Celtic would have lost no matter what. The gap between the teams is too large. Sure it happens in Saturday Cup matches when you play a much better team, why can't it happen in the CL?

The score line was somewhat embarrassing and the team maybe could have been set up better but when you go 1 down early plans are out the window. Barca score a lot of goals!

There was need for fresh management, is BR the man for the job - time will tell.  A domestic treble hasn't happened in a long time and that for me is quite surprising given the competition.

Lick wounds and move on.

The man has an opinion and he gets stick for it, if you think he is winding ignore him ffs!

[stew]

Tony, The entire team last night cost Celtic under 17 million to assemble, Barcas squad cost 340 million to assemble and they got Messi for feck all, how can you expect them to compete?

I know I know, they beat them once in Lennons day, they should have lost by five.

The problem is that plenty don't ignore him and so you have page after page of tit for tat nonsense which the rest of us have to wade through to find something reasonable to read.

[omaghjoe]

Sure you love it too. You read it all get off on the eye rolling and the folorn hope that Tony will somehow reform or be brought to heel.

Also from another perspective his dissenting voice can be useful in bringing out some good points and facts such as on the Hillsborough disaster.

[bennydorano]

Rodgers isn't  (nor should be) immune from criticism, but the whole debate here has been poisoned before it could even begin as Fearon took another uber-grudge for some reason. Most sensible people would at least give him a few months before forming a lasting opinion.

Messi's buy out clause (I know that doesn't really matter) is €250m more than ten times the worth of Celtic's squad. Their front three must be worth upwards of €500m. I'm looking forward to seeing how City do against them. I reckon it will end up 6-3 Barca.

Firstly the Celtic manager's performance is a legitimate part of this thread.

Secondly the Barca team beaten by Celtic in 2012 cost astromically more than the Celtic team,as did most English Premiership sides in comparison to Leicester City last season.

In just a couple of months,the current Celtic manager,the highest remunerated in the club's history has presided over the most embarrassing result in the club's history,a defeat by a part time team from Gibraltar,and the club's biggest ever defeat in Europe.Last night the team had no fight,were overawed (the so called gulf in class was roughly similar bus a vis Inter Milan in comparison to Celtic in 1967,but did big Jock send them out to be over awed?) and unforgivably threw in the towel.

If Ronny had been in the dugout last night,with the same team,he would be out of a job now.

Hysterical

We could moan about the inequality in modern day football and how money has changed (corrupted?) the modern day game – that's another story entirely.

The "champions" league is a joke. It's ruined football in smaller nations and given them absolutely no chance of progression. How on earth are you supposed to compete when the odds are so stacked against you.

Bring back the old European Cup.

Ramo Vega debut, cold winters day, couple of gaols for Vega?

[Hectic]

The Celtic fans utterly debased our national flag and its sentiments in a display of utter bigotry .  True Irish republicanism defaced by these mooks . I hope Barcelona hit them for six .   Celtic fans sully Irish republicanism and its noble intentions .

Buion dar slua thar toinn rainig chugainn!!

I agree. Barca are a great bunch of lads but they get illegal state aid as do Real.
and you'll never see a team from Eastern Europe winning the CL
