The Offical Glasgow Celtic thread

[Aaron Boone]

Who are the lowest cost squad in the cl group stages? At 16 mill bound to be celtic.

Mr very relevant point in the real world but it doesn't back up the facts*...

* Facts in this scenario are not facts as per the english dictionary definition but the tony fearon dictionary definition where words like fact and irony mean something different

Ludogorets Razgrad

Dinamo Zagreb down there too.

Just reading the thread, it sounds like Brendan will be out the door by Christmas anyway. Thank you for the memories Bren.

How come Leicester won the P'ship last year on a relatively meagre budget? You cannot hide behind that excuse all the time

CL or Europa League it doesn't matter,or Int'l football even.Martin O'Neill for example doesn't have players like Bale to call on yet Ireland top the group.It's all about getting more than the sum of the parts from your team,which Celtic aren't doing in Europe.Martin O'Neill,Stephen Kenny and Michael O'Neill are doing it.I'd bet if any one of these three were managing Celtic we would have more than 2 points out of four European games.

[bridgegael]

I see you are up to watch the mcgregor fight tony.

[T Fearon]

Yes,and I accepted William Hill's generous odds of 1/1 on a Mc Gregor win👍👍

International football is completely different from club. Completely. You can setup a massively defensive system and do a job. You can't do that week in week out in club football. Look at portugal and Greece. They won tournaments with awful football. Doesn't happen at club level.

Who needs an excuse? Rodgers is doing a great job. Do you want an excuse for barcelona beating celtic?

[T Fearon]

Tell me how garnering two points from 12 is evidence of a "great job" Catch yourself on

Agree completely with all of the above.

[yellowcard]

Dear god, am I misreading things or is this imbecile really looking for Michael O'Neill or Stephen Kenny in to replace Rodgers. One who was interviewed for but couldn't get the Hibs job, another who was sacked by Dunfermline. Both flavour of the month at the minute at their own levels but neither of whom has managed at anything approaching elite level in professional soccer. The mind boggles.

I do wonder about that all the time with the Scottish League. How come Aberdeen, Rangers, et al don't get it together at least one year and give Celtic a run for their money? I mean if you expect Celtic to do it on meager finances in Europe, Why can't one of the also rans do it in the Scottish Premier? I mean it's not as if they have to beat world beaters (bar Celtic) week in week out is it. Why can't they punch above their station? Why should Celtic have the monopoly on over achieving on their finances given your logic?

[T Fearon]

I would swap either Michael O'Neill (managed twice commendably against the current World Champions this year,as elite as you can get) or Stephen Kenny for Rodgers instantly.Their achievements against the odds far outweigh anything Rodgers has done.But as long as the gullible are content with romping away with a one horse league and failing miserably in Europe,his position is safe.

I don't expect Celtic to win the Champions league but I do expect the team to be competitive and credible in every game they play,and two points out of twelve is embarrassing.

Utter guff Barca can and do embarrass teams 6 and 7 nil with greater resources than Celtic. In most games Barca have played this year even those in which they were defeated they could have had upwards of 7. You have a dislike for Rodgers and that is fine but that dislike can't hide the fact that he is doing a decent job.
