The Offical Glasgow Celtic thread

[MoChara]

Seen this on Reddit thought it was worth a share

"We scored 2 goals in 10 minutes after Scot Brown was subbed on.

If he had played the full 90 we would have won 18-0.

That is how football works."

If he was so out of his depth he probably would not have made game winning substitutions

[JimStynes]

Did Lennon not do today what people have been asking him to do? He selected a side that most ppl would have been happy with. And he made good changes from the bench that won the game. Lennon definitely has his faults but the players need to take some responsibility as well. They're playing shite. The other crowd are still winning and they're completely shite! Celtic and Rangers are both very poor so far this year.

It doesn't matter what Lennon does. Or doesn't do. It will never be good enough for some people

I think it's similar to what Rodgers said about Griffith's if he had a more 3xotic name he'd be worth a fortune

Does the fact that Celtic put another absolute turgid display in not tell all you need to know about the manager.

He made two changes today. Turnbull and Ntcham in for Brown and Christie. It's Rogic and Soro who he refuses to put his faith in, Rogic came off the bench when we were in need and was impresisve. He should be starting next time out.

The changes off the bench may have worked but relying on injury time goals from substitutes is part of a bigger malaise. We were moments away from more dropped points on the back of a woeful display and that is what is really worrying. We were flat and barely created a worthwhile chance in 90 minutes.

Another dreadful display to add to Ferencvaros, Riga, Sarajevo, Killie, St Mirren, Dundee Utd and Livingston.

Playing shite and winning? Gimme that all day long

Luck will soon run out if we continue to do so. It's already cost Celtic CL football.

Scott Brown played a cameo yesterday after watching a horrendous 80 minutes of Football which was disjointed and lacked emphasis.

Once he came on the field there were 3 major changes.

Firstly the St. Johnstone midfielders who had strolled around deep into our half regressed backward, the free flowing passing turned into pumping the ball upfront to be recycled by Celtic for attack after attack.

It was relentless.

Secondly, we saw the captain playing direct balls to our attacking options, he very nearly sent Calmac through on for a goal with a smart chip.

Brown played several other balls straight at players instead of this endless side to side play, the team picked up on this and we were far more incisive.

Thirdly and most importantly, he dragged the Bhoys forward on every level of their games, we rose as a club and where we had been flat and a little lost, we were sharp and direct.

This will almost certainly be Scott Brown's last season on this side of the white line at Celtic, I truly fear for how we will fill his boots.

The brigade of haters who would have him cast aside for whatever reason a set of statistics arms them with in an argument, I say to you this, everyone in Scottish Football hates Scott Brown, because he is the last man anyone wants to see on the other side of halfway when they get off their knee.

Broony is an indispensable member of the team and must start every match.

Those who disagree are playing into our enemies hands, believe me, they don't want him bossing the park when Celtic play their team.

What's all this "We" craic. You hate Neil Lennon, Scott Brown & James Forrest and you're classing yourself as "We" like you're a fan or something.

I don't hate any of them.

I think Lennon is out of his depth.

Brown has been an excellent servant but his form has been off and Forrest has been off form for most of the past 12 months. It's not their fault that the manager keeps picking them.

You are happy to stand over shitshows like Ferencvaros, Cluj and Copenhagen because the manager is from a town a few miles up the road. He was sacked from the Hibs and Bolton job before he got the Celtic gig, he only got the job because he's a yes man who is indebted to Lawwell for giving him a job of a magnitude he would get nowhere else.

Lennon and Lawwell are the biggest obstacles in Celtic's quest for 10IAR.

Christ almighty, Goebbels would blush at that nonsense.

We won the game thanks to Ajer taking some repsonsibilty on driving forward and Griffiths showing his goalscoring instincts.

Rogic had far more of a telling contribution than Brown with a number of driving runs, that's a guy who has been consistently cast aside by Lennon for 18 months.

I stand by Lennon because he's the Celtic manager and Celtic is the team i've supported from i was a child so that's why i stand by him and support him not because he's from a town a few mile up the road. If i thought he was doing a crap job i'd say so and if i thought he was outta his depth i'd say it also but he's doing ok and better than some managers we've had. His hands are tied with somethings within the club and so was BR's too and the managers before them. If you remember he walked away from Hibs and that's because there was already a move on under the table to take him back to Celtic when Judas ran for the coin. He left Bolton on mutual agreement with the owners, he was lied too by Bolton about what he was getting into, they had to do a whip around to get petrol for people to drive to work there. They promised him if he kept them up they'd give him money and he did keep them up but the following season he had to reduce the wage bill by £10m and could only get a few players on loan. That Bolton job was a disaster but i suppose in your eyes that was his fault too

That's just your opinion...funny how McGregor is saying life without Brown will be tough in the Celtic team

Incorrect, he was suspened by Hibs then sacked after losing the dressing room.

His management record is hardly inspiring, living off a win against Barcelona 7 or 8 years back.

Lost the only real title that was in anyway challenging to Walter Smith, won another one with Rangers in administration and another two after they were demoted.

Came in and won another league when he took the team over 8 points clear and then got handed the league last year by default aided and abetted by a Sevco collapse. Not to mention the poxy way in which Celtic won the League Cup.

The football played so far this year has been dire, devoid of inspiration, disjointed and flat. We are blessed to have as many points on the board as we do.
