The Offical Glasgow Celtic thread

[lynchbhoy]

Lynchboy - check out the NI thread - all sorts of wierd and wonderful posts on there, and not all to do with football.

thats the problem in life - people think that things are ok if comparable to something else.
A lot of people on this island need to 'start thining outside the box' (To drive a lot o folks mad on this site, I'll use the phrase ) instead of using comparisons and pointing fingers. This is a football thread, not another vehicle for eg or anyone else to slyly try and inject some sectarian/bigoted connoctations.

Celtic did well to win that last night. The defense proved again they are not at the races. An average left back (with shot confidence), a ,makeshift Right back who hasnt the speed or skill to get forward and put in crosses, a centre back who is too one footed and drops clangers (trying to play footbal instead of row Z when in trouble). Pressley and O'Dea for me are the best centre halves the club has. Even these are not good enough for where Celtic should be. OK for the money Celtic seemingly dont have.

Midfield superb, but always on the back foot because of the lightweight back four.
Up front,well they saw so little of the ball its hard to tell on last nights perf.

Still Celtic are the old example of a team that never gives up, that will play above their talent on paper. A real credit to the players and the manager to be fair. I think the club and their fans really inspire this in the players.
A draw in Milan. Last 16 possibility.Jeez, looking at Celtic scraping CL qualification, you wouldnt have thought it. At least they will get into UEFA cup if they dont get a draw in milan.
More money to buy decent defenders.

Lynchboy, where is it stated this is a football only thread?
Why shouldnt this be comparable to other threads on this site? Surely thats how protocol works  -we apply the same across the board. Who decides that is ok for this to be a football only thread, yet the IFA one is for all topics related to the IFA?

what has thinking outside the box got to do with this? Will that make us understand "this thread is for football only but this one isnt"

[his holiness nb]

Did ye honestly expect to have a Celtic thread without the OWC boys jumping in and commenting about matters non football related?
Hardly a surprise 

[nifan]

hhn, maybe you can explain why it should be different from other threads on the site?


And while it may not be "football related" it is most certainly celtic related, and this thread is "The Offical Glasgow Celtic thread"

Where did I say it should be different from the other threads?
And where did I say it should be football related only?
I just pointed out that its hardly suprising that the OWC boys would want to discuss matters non football on a Celtic thread.

I aapologise, I read it as support for Lynchboy claiming it should be football only, and you did not state that

I have been saying for awhile that probably after Given, McGeady is Irelands only other world class footballer.  Good finish and all is looking great for the hoops.  Celtic will be feared in the latter rounds of this European competition.

When you say "world class" do you mean the little make believe world inside your head?

No he would put the fear of god in any team in Europe.  If he were playing for a small club he would be gone by now.

World class me arse!

[nifan]

McGeady is in no way world class.
I must admit to being impressed with him the last couple of times ive seen him, but the few times before that he was completely ineffectual and very light weight.

Have they had amny big money offers for him?

Galwaybhoy, I hope you are a WUM, otherwise you are completely deluded
You have said in the last few days that Mc Geady is world class & John O Shea is under-rated
Take the green tinted glasses of FFS
While Mc Geady is a decent player, he is no more than that - if he was world class he would be in the Premiership, La Liga or Serie A
John O Shea is a squad player for Utd & does a job when needed, but you cant say he is under-rated if he is at a club like Utd

Agreed.

Celtic related fine, Football preferable, but trying to avoid the WUM thread killing rows that you and cohorts try to create on certain threads (such as you are doing on this one right now) and sticking to football instead of non-issues.
Thats my last line off topic and back to the general tone of the thread and decency - which all too many seem to miss.
again nifan , your underlying bred-in distruptive attitude seeps through to your posts.


McGeady has superb talent, but still is only 'getting there'. He was a headless chicken in years pas, and was too light and easily shoved off the ball.
However he is ending his pieces of great skill and superb runs with crosses/shots/passes now where he used to run up blind alleys, pass when he should shoot and shoot where he should have passed.
He has got a lot stronger and it now not as easy to shove off the ball.
If he played for an EPL side or england (even scotland) he would be lauded to the rafters as better than george best etc.
I certainly think and hope that McGeady can continue to improve and be a star player for Celtic and Ireland.
Damien duff was a similar headless chicken with no 'end product' for his early years too - I think McGeady can and will be even better !

my "underlying bred-in distruptive attitude seeps through to your posts" 
you talk some drivel, and seem to have some sort of bigoted opinion that all people of a certain backround are raised in the same way and deep down share the same opinion. Your frequent comments of reverting to type, bred-in etc highlight this. You have some shocking pre conceptions

Youll not i never posted the comment in the first place, nor commented on it  -some WUM
I just questioned your attitude when others have often commented on non footballing aspects of NI in the IFA thread and have saw nobody complaining.

Your initial comment even says "celtic fine" as far as i can see, uncomfortable as it may be EGs original post was very much celtic related.

McGeady, World Class? That is the craziest thing I have ever heard.

he's def not - well not yet, has showed up well at times but to be fair, there are some amount of absolutely sihte soccer players out there that are described as world class. A lot of them play for england or in the epl !

[corn02]

Could not agree more Lynchboy but they are still a class or two above McGeady. A patchy player at best who will never develop into the World Class bracket.

If the likes of Gerrard and Scholes are still not recognised by some as World Class, then it is an insult to even use McGeadys name in the same sentence.
