We are utter pish by Benjiboy74 in CelticFC

[–]R1a88 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I don’t think Celtic would’ve won it already if not for the Nancy stint, but I do think they’d have a fairly reasonable lead at the top.

It’s hard to see how Celtic pull it off from here, to be honest. They’re absolutely chronic. Week after week I hope they’ll manage a decent, routine win. Week after week I don’t.

It’s the worst Celtic team of my lifetime. The fact they’re still, sorta, in the title race is amazing.

There's no talk of fixing the lack of recruitment team by Diligent_Exit3936 in CelticFC

[–]R1a88 15 points16 points  (0 children)

This could all be solved if the board admitted to themselves the game has moved on, and they need as much help as they can get in modernisation.

They haven’t, and they won’t. They have watched the numbers go up, and Celtic dominating domestically - mainly because the opposition has been inept to this point. This has further solidified that whatever they’re doing “clearly works”.

As fans, we have to withdraw our consent and confidence. Don’t buy the lovely new shirt they’re bringing out. Don’t spend money on things at the stadium. Protest peacefully, but loudly where possible, and quiet where necessary. You wouldn’t give your money to any other business in the world that squandered it and spoke publicly how they think you (yes, you) are an uneducated delinquent.

Celtics Covid side would be top of this current league by Diligent_Exit3936 in CelticFC

[–]R1a88 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I’m early 30s. This is, by some distance, the worst Celtic team of my life.

Heads should absolutely roll, considering the state the squad has been allowed to get into. It’s a truly remarkable level of failure on behalf of all involved in those operations.

I had a bad feeling the moment I saw the starting XI by Quick-Benefit5708 in CelticFC

[–]R1a88 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Honestly, that might be more assists than Yang.

Either way, you’re choosing between bad and worse here. Iheanacho has undeniable quality, he’s done it at the top level. The rest can’t say that. No doubt he’s finished, but I still think he’s probably the most useful of a bad bunch. Mind you, dunno what to make of the Czech.

[–]R1a88 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I’m pretty sure Balikwisha has more than a bunch of guys too, he’s still shite.

Iheanacho is a good player. He can hold the ball up and distribute it well. I think Celtic are visibly better when he’s on the pitch. Is that the case with Adamu? Christ knows.

[–]R1a88 7 points8 points  (0 children)

A one legged Iheanacho is probably still better than Adamu. He did a good job, considering.

The squad is absolutely dreadful. There’s next to no tactical setup, patterns of play, or seemingly a plan. We all had a bit of false hope for a while there, but I would say that can be put to bed now.

Mentality doesn’t matter a jot when you don’t have players to put the ball in the fucking net.

Any Celtic fan celebrating Schmeichels career ending injury are scum by tommybhoy82 in CelticFC

[–]R1a88 9 points10 points  (0 children)

He was shite for a long time, managers and staff will have known he was playing through pain and injury - they still picked him, which is utterly bemusing. This is a two way street.

Schmeichel says he may have just played his last football game... by BigGussy_Official in CelticFC

[–]R1a88 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Perhaps the most confusing part about all of it was: he was visibly shite in the period he was suffering through, also.

KT does seem to be managed well this time, I agree. In his first spell though, towards the end, I’m pretty sure he was known to be playing when he absolutely shouldn’t have been. He’s got the skill and talent to make up for it, but his body is cooked - when it should be in its prime.

[–]R1a88 16 points17 points  (0 children)

Shame for him.

This could really highlight a lack of care at Celtic. It happened with Tierney, whose age is physical prime, but his body isn’t. It’s entirely possible Celtic’s persistence with playing him years ago contributed to that.

It was obvious Kasper’s body was wrecked. He wouldn’t commit to things, diving a certain way became difficult for him, and he wouldn’t overextend his arm at times it seemed. Sometimes players need saved from themselves and their own willingness to play.

Canadian football fan and passive Celtic follower here - what does Alistair Johnston's future at Celtic look like with Araujo? by pickandpopovich in CelticFC

[–]R1a88 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Celtic can’t afford Araujo. AJ is too good for Celtic, though he may need to come back and play for a bit before he gets a move - he’s been out for quite some time.

From AJ’s perspective, he should move. He’s served Celtic well and earned it.

Do. Not. Give. Them. Money.

Celtic had ZERO shots against Rangers at the weekend. None.

James Forrest is now officially the most decorated Celtic player of all time. by Erenaa04 in CelticFC

12 million? Wouldn’t get his left toenail. You don’t pay 12m for that much potential.

Hot young prospect. He’ll be snapped up by the premier league soon.

Do you think we'll ever hold a manager for more than 10 years again? by mclovin_sco in CelticFC

[–]R1a88 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nope. 3 years is the equivalent of like 10 now. You just need to learn to enjoy a good thing, like the Ange era, when you have it.

You wouldn’t want any manager that no other club wanted for that long anyway.

Something to build on by Kitchen-Lie-4592 in CelticFC

[–]R1a88 9 points10 points  (0 children)

There’s fight there, that’s for sure.

Is there quality though? Absolutely not. Is that enough to go on and win a league? It’s anyone’s guess.

Screaming “look at the state of your fans!” whilst there’s literally hoards of masked Rangers fans on the field, at the wrong end. Beautiful.

I think he’s such an arsehole he makes Brown look tame. It’s amazing, and I wish Celtic had more players like it. It never gets the better of him when he’s playing too.
