Not a great match so far lads..

One goal will probably end up winning this one.

Robson not looking up to it giving the ball away too easily. how i wish we had a decent striker, just cant score. it is there for the taking though.

this is arguably the worst hoops team in 20 years. its defo the worst lot of centre backs we have ever had, caldwell yapping for more money, he is a clown of the first order and that other clown McManus, them two lads make bobo look first class. strachan for all his faults is miles better than t.m. Result needed tommorow night or the boo boys will dominate the stadium.

cant really disagree with that. 3 home european defeats in 1 season so far

wasnt a fan of WGS but at least his home european record was excellent.

I swear that team will put me in an early grave...unbelievable lack of quality at the minute in that team and it's just getting worse every year. Players can't control a ball without knocking 10 meters in front of them...f**king first touch is a tackle

.

Caldwell done another boob for the goal, he let his man hold him off then left him for dead to get the one two and stick it in the net...There is not one Celtic player out there tonight that i wouldn't sell or move on to another club (if Glenavon was interested).

Mugga def looked well pissed off in his interview and admitted the team lack quality...you don't say. The thing is who are we gonna sign...some £500,000 midfielder from Kilmarnock in Jan

.

Rant over...sorry lads but I'm just getting pissed off with Celtic at the minute

Scotish football is slowly but surely beginning to merge with the Irish League in terms of quality.

new devil · October 23, 2009, 06:29:52 AM

English championship is better quality...celtic would struggle in it imo

Once again McGeady doesn't deliver

How long before the Record has the headline "Moby Go!"

QuoteOnce again McGeady doesn't deliever

I think people are under-estimating how good that Hamburg team are. Definitely Champions league standard and would give anyone a run. Very well organised at the back and no shortage of skillful players.

Has the North-Atlantic League thing been vetoed by UEFA/FIFA? I always thought is would be a god idea. The best from Scotland, Scandanavia Belguim and Holland playing each other regularly would generate significant revenue from TV and improve the standard no dount. Anyone know what happened to the idea?

Id be more worried about the oompa loompa maloney!! Id rather see mcginn or mccourt on, mcginn is direct and pacy and mccourt has a bit of trickery. Maloney has neither of those traits!

what about scott brown? an impostor if ever there was one. theres just too many impostors in the current celtic setup - naylor, mcmanus, caldwell, brown, maloney & samaras.

at least when mcginn and mccourt came on they were direct and tried to take men on.

Id agree with naylor, mcmanus, caldwell, maloney
think Brown on form is good and I like samaras but he is trying to link up with headless chickens.
Samaras does give a different option.
You can add wilson to your list as well and mcdonald is an spl level player.

Sorry to say I dont rate mcginn or mccourt at this level.

Crosas must be tearing his hair out.
Celtic need one if not two centre halves and one or maybe two strikers - not something from spl or english div2 (championship league or whatever it is called these days)

Celtic were so bad it was almost funny, and I am a big Celtic fan.

Of those playing last night, was it only Nguemo that was a mowbray signing?
He needs funds for January and better get them !

Gaoth Dobhair Abu · October 23, 2009, 11:08:53 AM

God that was depressing!
Thought N'Guemo, Brown, Maloney, McDonald, ah feck it all of them had a shite match.
Wtf was Mowbrey thinking of, starting with one striker at home! Did he not learn from Walters fcuk up on Tuesday?
I underestimated the Hamburg teams depth of quality (as did Celts!) not realising that their 3rd choice striker cost 12 million euro! Think their reserves could have probably beaten Celtic last night.
The one bright point is Mogga telling the players that they have 2 months to prove themselves or their out (just hope he means it).

Anyway, there is still a small chance of qualifying so I'll keep the faith.
Hamilton away on Sunday 3 points, hopefully the Hibees can do us a favour at Mordor on Saturday.

Hail Hail

Just about to post on that, will do it on the Ragers thread.
Vital three points yesterday, still having problems keeping a clean sheet.

Performances under Mowbray are poor. His talk of January signings is a whole lot of hot air. Who are the hoops going to sign? Wayne Rooney, maybe? Ronaldo? I'd guess some other mediocre SPL / Championship player, because the reality is that's all Celtic can afford. Mowbray's unwise to go round raising expectations, therefore. He's also already pissed off the players, if Samaras' comments at the weekend are anything to go by.
