  1. As a Celtic fan, the club needs a complete overhaul. Rodgers is done, needs gone and has done for 12 months. There needs to be a clear transfer plan and injection of cash. The current squad is a great example of buy cheap buy twice!
  2. McInnes is also a decent manager
  3. The Owen Coyle team would beat this mob. Christ, Tavares makes hope Akpan look like Viera
  4. I said it after a couple of games that this season stinks of Owen Coyle season and I think I was wrong, this will get worse. Lots of positives, played well, etc. bollocks. Good teams win more matches than they lose, we lose considerably more than we win so draw your own conclusions
  5. This is why we’ll get relegated, 45 mins of good work undone in 3 minutes. Though you could argue it was done during a few weeks in summer
  6. I’ve not seen the original post just a picture sent to me in WhatsApp groups that had been picked up in socials. I’d not said it was 100% genuine, just it had been doing the rounds. Apologies if I’ve jumped the gun or misrepresented anything
  7. It's all white, blue V neck collar and a Maltese cross. Honestly you don't want to see it
  8. If it is the kit doing the rounds on Facebook, etc it's possibly one of the biggest own goals (in a long and disastrous list) of the Venky's tenure
  9. If you look at the juxtaposition between Spain 2010 and Barcelona 2010/11, which culminated in that exhibition against United in the CL final I'd say it's fairly safe to say Pep wasn't the problem.
  10. Makes me laugh the blame Pep gets for the ill's for modern football. Barcelona scored over 75% of their goals through counter attacks, Bayern were one of the most counter attacking teams in recent years, City at the peak went forward so quickly it was breathtaking. What's happened has been a corruption of his/Cruyffs' style and turned into this possession at all costs nonsense, Cruyff always said look for the furthest pass first and work your way back. The opposite is now true with your Martins, etc where they do not look beyond the next line. Re Spain 2010, Del Bosque had always been a very conservative manager, in fact that Spain 2010 team had loads of internal problems about the negativity of their play, big fall outs within the team, etc. That team wasn't a a representation of Spanish football at the time, it was a manager trying to force his way on a team of players largely used to playing something totally different.
  11. What happens when we've been beaten by Derby, fans are up in arms and it's pishing down with rain? They expecting people to hang round another 90 mins to watch some has beens and never beens play? No chance
  12. He went to St. Michael's RC so defo of the wrong persuasion for that mob.
  13. based on the fact McKenna went to a catholic high school I'm not sure it's a move worth making for him.
  14. Totally agree but I bet there would have been a fair number (like me) who travel in sacked it off rather than sit soaked for a few hours and the drive home
  15. De Neve has made a difference, his delivery has been excellent.
  16. Cantwell done well there, Phillips had a bit of a mare too.
  17. We’re so flat and so predictable, watching our build up play is like a primary school paint by numbers exercise.
  18. I’ve taken the brave decision to stay at home in Lancaster, with the fire on and watch it on telly. Can’t be arsed getting soaking wet for another calamitous call off.
  19. Half of Millars throws were big looping ones midweek, that takes a lot of the threat away IMO. If it’s arrowed in like a driven corner they’re murder to deal with, otherwise the effort to get him over there isn’t worth the outcome
  20. Even by the usual standards of being contrary this is surely talking the piss. A loan signing whose only contribution so far is using our medical facilities and looks he will be doing into November at the earliest. We’ve got a self imposed 10k wage cap but are happy to pay the wages of another teams player while he undergoes treatment with seemingly no timescale on when he will actually play for us. As batshit mental signings go, and there has been a few under Venky’s this one is right up there.
  21. I remember the first game at home against Norwich, passive press, possession without any real intent too much space between players, too much space through the middle when opposition attack. I sat through that first half where we made Duffy look like Beckenbaur and to be honest not a lot has changed since. VI is crap, his record is crap.
  22. @chaddyrovers the reaction isn't after 2 defeats, it's after 5 defeats in 7 games in the league, with a terrifying amount at home. Including last season it's 10 losses, 6 wins and 3 draws.
  23. Good player and the pick of (a very poor) the summer, that said he isn't an upgrade on Brittain.
