The Offical Glasgow Celtic thread

[tyroneStatto]

That is crap. The team who wins the league deserves to win it.

rangers tried to throw it away as much as celtic did.

[Lamh Dhearg Alba]

The first two horse race won by a donkey. Both teams were poor this season.

[tyroneman]

This Celtic team has been a joke all season.

The signs were there last year - all those last minute goals, far from being the sign of a great team, were simply the sign of a lucky team. A team where luck ran out this year. Because we won the league no one questioned WHY we needed 91st minute goals to see off poor, poor SPL teams.

Strachan has implemented no discernable style of football, makes erratic team selections each week and proceeds to patronise each and every fan with the bilge he spews forth in interviews.

Willo Flood - why pay that money to sit him on the bench?

JvOH /Samaras and Skippy - a strike force no-one fears (lets not forget Samaras was only 2 or so behind skippy in the scoring charts this year - says it all about our 'main' striker)

Scott Brown - if someone offered 8 mill we should bite thier hand off.

Naka - when Scottish football can accomodate a special teams player for home games only - then there wil be a place for this waste of space.

Naylor - a clown.

Maloney - should NEVER have been bought back. A stick to beat McGeady with. Lets not forget his last monuite 'herocis' in Seville either - that's the mark of the man.

Not one player in that team would have made O'Neills side, bar Artur.

Crosas (the only bright spark all season) should get the f*ck out of dodge if the wee ginger b*llix stays given his treatment so far.

Massive, massive overhaul required.

[tyroneman]

At least Geordie Messiah Shearer got relegated today.

Good enough for this odious stain of a man.

There's only so many cups you can smash at half time.

As bad as Newcastle are I reckon they would be as good as anyone in that piss poor excuse for a league they call the Scottish Premier

A Celtic fan was allegedly attacked outside Parkhead after the game by a man with a machete

Celtic won what they deserved this season.  At least Rangers had a half decent striker in their squad.

Can't see WGS getting the boot. Who is there to take the job?  He's the perfect low budget manager for a low budget squad.  The board are getting the value for money they set out to get.

[tyroneman]

'We say to Rangers well done. We say well done to Walter, the coaching staff and their players.

'We know how difficult it is. You may think it's easy, a doddle, but it's not easy to win championships. We congratulate them.

'I'm sure we'll give them a run for their money next year. We think we can win with dignity and we can lose with dignity, so that is it done.

If this is genuinely what Strachan said it beggars belief.

A few thoiughts:

9 Games against Hearts and Dundee Utd - we fail to win in 7
If the SPL started in January - we would have finished 4th
Strachan got to the knockout CL games with the same points total as O'Neill who missed out through bad luck.

The only thing that saved Strachan was the winning of league titles. No matter how poor we were on the pitch this was forgiven by the masses as another SPL was annexed

the board will roll over for him at will since he reduced the wages bill.

One can only hope he has the decency to go...now.

Hopefully Burnley get beaten tonight and Owen Coyle gets the Celtic job.
Ideally Moyes (but thats wishful thinking).
Needs to be massive changes at Paradise in the summer, sooner rather then later - the only thing that gets our boards attention is money and when people start refusing to renew their season books then Dermot might sit up and take notice!

To all the real Celtic fans out there - Keep the Faith.

Funny when the question was asked a few pages ago who people would like to see with the celtic job the first name I thought of was Coyle. He has done a terrific job with Burnley.
even if they lose it might be a tough job to pull him away from.

Sunderland are lining up Celtic manager Gordon Strachan to replace Ricky Sbragia, who resigned as Black Cats boss on Sunday. (Daily Mirror)

Frank Rijkaard, Martin Jol and Slaven Bilic are also believed to be on Sunderland's shortlist to replace Sbragia. (Daily Mirror)

Gordon Strachan is poised to quit Celtic as manager, with a statement expected this week and Sunderland targeting the former Southampton boss. (The Sun)

Motherwell's Mark McGhee has emerged as favourite to succeed Gordon Strachan as Celtic manager. (The Sun)

But Burnley's Owen Coyle, West Brom's Tony Mowbray and former West Ham manager Alan Curbishley will also feature on Celtic's shortlist. (The Sun)

[Gaoth Dobhair Abu]

Wouldn't be too fussed on McGhee or Mowbrey (don't think he's a runner after his comments re Celtic not being fit for the EPL), was thinking that Sunderland may come in for the ginger one after staying up.

Thing about Coyle is that although he never played for the Celts, he has been a die hard Celtic fan all his life.

Have added a poll to see who people think the next manager will be, if I've left anyone out you think has a chance then let me know and they will be added.

[cavan4ever]

Do u think that Bilic would be interested, it would take a promise of alot of money to invest for him to go for it.
