The Offical Glasgow Celtic thread

[T Fearon]

As I said I am not being judgemental.I also delight in Celtic's 100th major trophy win and Brendan Rogers first as a manager anywhere.But it is my understanding he deserted his wife for a young secretary at Liverpool FC.Given that he stresses conduct off the field as one of the key aspects of good football managers I just find it strange.

I find it strange that anyone could defend a man who knew about children being abused, silenced them and fought in the courts for a decade to keep all of this a secret.

But there you go.

Oh and ..eh... I am not judgemental.

So you know the whole story??

GBH and attempted murder are badges of honour in Liverpool so it's doubtful if riding one of the the club's bikes for all would be considered such a big deal.

This is is very interesting documentary about Rangers from the crash to the end of the time Ally McCoist was in charge. Never mind the Spanish intro. Most of it is in Scottish.

Does anyone else find Chris Sutton's analysis a bit hard to listen to?  'brainless'

He can be a bit irritating alright but i certainly wouldn't say he's brainless (quite the opposite in fact)He knows what he's doing and saying and is trying to be controversial but at the same time calls it as he see's it. A bit like marmite...u either love him or hate him.

my reference to 'brainless' was alluding to the fact that every time someone makes a mistake, he refers to them as brainless.

Analysing Scottish soccerball .  Celtic are miles better that the rest of the Scottish clubs because they have multiples of their budget, ergo better players .

Nothing much to analyse .

he definitely has something against Craig Gordon

I think Sutton, while being very good at calling it as he sees it, maybe feels he has to find the odd criticism to throw at Celtic in the interests of balance - the main ones I picked up on was one saying Gordon nearly got the team into trouble trying to play the ball out - that one is fairly easy as that is clearly a directive of the manager.  The other was when he took Madisson out in the box - I felt he was wrong there in that it is the goalkeepers job to come and take the ball in such situations and if anyone gets in the way so be it - different if he had jumped right into the player but he did not.

Interesting that yesterday only Dembele of Rodgers summer signings played in what was a really strong team performance against the second best side in the country.

he is always critical of gordon though. Brought up karate kicks again and tried to say he took the guy out woth his knee. Even when tv replays showed he was wrong he kept trying to say it

Yeah, I mentioned that to my brother yesterday. Shows you what a decent manager can do

Agree. Brendan has got an extra 20% out of the players. Browner is like a new man, Forrest is playing out of his skin and now every day at training every player ups his performance. To think Roberts is only getting bit time shows thd class in the squad.

Who would have thought Griffiths would lose his place but Dembele is far better than him. There are goals in the team now and that spreads confidence throughout the squad .

Commons, Stokes and Griffiths combo a long way off Sinclair, Dembele and either Forrest or Roberts. We're back playing the Celtic way and the supporters are loving it.

Both Forest and Brown were literal write off's before the season started but that was more due to chronic ailments. Perhaps Brendan played an incidental part in their resurgence with the vastly improved team atmosphere and football,  but I'd  also calculate that they recovered their physical prowess.
Sadly Dembele will be on his bike soon, I hope he sticks around to the end of the season and racks up the all the medals and deserved awards.
