The Offical Glasgow Celtic thread

[bennydorano]

I don't have an agenda.I and others like me,Roy Keane for example are less than enamoured by embarrassing displays in Europe which are not compensated for by routine wins,for the most part in domestic competition against weak opponents.

Jesus wept....

Sniggered myself.

[LCohen]

I defy anyone watching this,taking almost 83 minutes to breach Alloa's defence that we are managed competently or are moving in the right direction

Whats your view on McGeeney then? Post it on another thread if you like

[T Fearon]

How dare you mention Neil Lennon's name in the same breath as our current super manager,who deserves a knighthood after tonight's stunning 2 nil win over Alloa,which has instantly banished the disappointment of Barcelona.🙄

[tonto1888]

Through to the next round - the only thing that matters - next

[T Fearon]

If that was Ronny's team there'd be a protest against the Board outside Celtic Park this minute

Protesting at winning a game 2-0. Good one you 🔔🔚

Well it looks like the manager isn't living in cloud cuckoo land like the rest of you lot.I'll give him credit for being pragmatic.He's not pleased.Next step is for him to address the failings.

[tonto1888]

Rodgers is better than  you give him credit for Tony. I don't think he will shy away from saying things like that

It's absolutely ridiculous for some people on here to suggest Brendan Rodgers has got the backing of the board that Ronny Deila didn't get. Deila got plenty of backing but unfortunately bought too many duds and also couldn't get the team organised. We already look like much more of a cohesive unit under Rodgers and Sinclair is proving to be a great signing and a real fans favourite.

[T Fearon]

It's not the fees it's the salaries.Sinclair and Dembele are earning far more than any of Ronny's signings.There's also the issue of who made the signings in Ronny's era,when it is widely accepted he had signings foisted upon him.

[lynchbhoy]

How dare you mention Neil Lennon's name in the same breath as our current super manager,who deserves a knighthood after tonight's stunning 2 nil win over Alloa,which has instantly banished the disappointment of Barcelona.🙄

why so bitter tony?

I know you were a huge rony fan but this is silly...

almost all fans liked ronny but he wasn't good enought

alloa on a roll at a moment and it's hard beating a form team esp when you make so many changes to your side and disrupt the cohesion

Rogers doing well so far. but id expect better as he has more time . I'd not expect or want similar results v barca again.

best potential manager since MON
we will see if his progression continues.

[Applesisapples]

Mourinho has a much harder task,competing with mega spending neighbours Man City, not to mention Chelsea,Spurs etc.He hasn't the luxury of zero domestic opposition.Also he is manager of arguably the biggest club in the world, in terms of profile,fan base etc

Tony not 3 pages ago you were comparing him favourably to Rodgers in terms of starts. Go off to the OWC and Servco sites where you actually belong and leave rational debate on this thread to those of us who are actual fans, not prawn sandwich eating wannabes. Rodgers inherited a shit squad with no motivation and has managed to show some improvement. Mourinho inherited a set of decent if not world beating players and is struggling. You should look in the mirror before calling anyone Coco.

[Hectic]

2 defensive midfielders and 1 central attacking midfielder and we will not be far off.  Will take a bit of money to get these players in but then this seasons windfall and if it guarantees the same next year and onward then it makes a lot of sense.

As for last night - job done.

Tony's raging cos Rodgers left the wife to chase after a young thing.  Not being a good Catholic etc etc.  That's all it is - if Benny was still playing happy families he'd be a great fella.
