The Offical Glasgow Celtic thread

[muppet]

I see the Scottish FA are making soundings in the direction of Michael O'Neill to replace Strachan.Thats what happens in the real football world when you're in the middle of a stinking succession of defeats in qualifiers.Your job's on the line,except of course your name is Brendan Rodgers and you're backed by delusional fans,who incredibly think you're doing a magnificent job🙄

Still taking about Sean Brady?

They only think that because well............ He is!

Don't doubt that players take confidence from good club form into the international arena,and vice Versa,if they are not playing with confidence at club level this also manifests itself at international level

full of shite, David Healy could hold down a club nevermind regular starts, 36 goals

If Michael O'Neill was that highly thought of then he wouldn't be managing a third rate footballing nation in what should be his prime years in management. He would be sought after by premier league or at the very least championship level clubs. The fact that he isn't tells you all you need to know about his standing within the game. Yes, he has done a good job with the black north but it's a million miles removed from managing at elite club level. The skillset is a very different one. Just ask Lawrie Sanchez and see how long he lasted at club level.

Agreed.  The best footballing brain in the world doesn't necessarily make a good club manager.  Club football is primarily a business... the game is secondary.

Plus you've got to cope with the egos.

Slightly concerned about all this Gerrard chat though I suspect it is media nonsense. He was past it when he left Liverpool and as a player who was at his best when he had bags of energy to play with I cannot for the life of me think of any reason that we would be looking to sign him.

Ability wise I think Gerrard is still fit to compete at SPL level but the biggest adjustment that he has struggled to come to terms with in recent years is the fact that he is no longer the main man. I'm not sure he has the tactical discipline to play a more confined role. I don't think this move will happen though as Rodgers will not want to be overshadowed by the arrival of Gerrard. Plus Rodgers was the one who effectively ushered him out the door at Anfield by limiting his game time. I think this is just newspaper hype.

I really don't see him signing for Celtic

Good result for Michael tonight. If I was the Celtic chairman I'd be recruiting him immediately.

That was a meaningless friendly.He has some way to go.Has to lose competitively to a part time team and 7 nil as well in another competitive game

Tony your selective memory and hatred for this man shines through, if you are going to hammer BBEhave the integrity tie acknowledge he unlike your hero managed to get to the CL stages, he has also two points to date were you predicted none for the campaign and then throw in the the massive league lead and the healthy cup situation and you look like a man hating on another because he and his wife are no longer together.

BBees doing a tremendous job, I say this as a once Liverpool hater and United supporter, find some perspective because your position here is compketeky untenable and absurd.

Is it possible to ban a person from a thread?

And highly amusing. Keep it up Tony, anybody who can't see you're at the wind up deserves the burst blood vessels. I'm looking forward to the mental gymnastics followed by the howling outrage should Celtic get anything from either of the next two CL games.

BTW I'm not 100% convinced by BR myself but his recruitment was a positive sign that the Celtic Board were showing some ambition for a change. How he does next season will tell the tale.
