Let's All Laugh At Celtic Thread


Recommended Posts

Every team in Scotland outside the Ugly Sisters is expected to know their place. Lack of funds, historical performance, winning mentality, blah, blah. Blah. Any suggestion that a genuine sustainable bid for success can be made is sneered at, laughed off as nonsense and dismissed.

Now when Celtic get knocked out of CL, then got on to disappoint in the Europa, it's a surprise and a disaster. No pundits calling for Celtic to accept their position in European football. It's all about the depressing state of the Scottish League. No competition, poor opposition, greet, moan, nae oor fault.

The anti establishment rebels financially dominating our league is its biggest weakness. Any thoughts on introducing some kind of levelling the playing field is not even up for discussion. I often wonder how The left wing Celtic supporters like the green brigade etc reconcile their "stick it to the Man" stance with the fact that their club obviously is The Man in Scottish football. Oppressing the smaller teams and preventing any real chance of league success as they buy their way to title after title.

The solution is simple. Set up a super league of two. Celtic and Sevco can battle it out for Scotland's one CL place. All most of those club's fans care about is each other and Europe anyway. I suppose they could play in the cups as well.

The rest of us can get on with taking the piss out of each other and revel in a league with up to 6 or 7 genuine title contenders. The Europa league is fine by me, an away trip to foreign shores is whatever you make of it, regardless the competition.

RONNY DEILA last night mauled Malmo motormouths for branding his side pigs – and roared his Celts are like lions

Ronny was also roaring with laughter at Malmo boss Age Hareide’s barbed comments about Celtic not having the legs to last 90 minutes

He fair loves to roar.....

Deila must be the worst manager in the Premiership. LOL

Can't motivate his team to play the 90mins.

Blamed the players for being frightened after stating they were nervous before the game. He clearly doesn't realise it's his job to get them in the right mindset.

What a fantastic motivational speaker he must be.

Or work out how to defend a corner...

If it wasn't for Gary Locke he'd be the worst manager in the Premiership by a distance.

John and his group which includes Echo and the Bunnymen musician Gordon Goudie, fiddler Anne-Marie McGahon and bassist Tam McKinley and John’s dad Ignatius will be singing the song live at Celtic Park tomorrow.

He said: “We are singing it just before the game tomorrow night which is amazing. While Take That play the SSE Hydro we’ll be playing to 60,000 fans at Celtic Park. I’m so glad everything is going so well for Ronny. He relates to fans, and Peter Lawwell doesn’t get enough credit for bringing him here. Who knew the guy from Norway would be one of the best managers ever.”

Because it gives you some insight into his thinking? Also, I find it pretty impressive that our players do 30-40% more high intensity running now than at the beginning of the season. I'm just happy we found a manager who can take us to the next level. Lennon achieved a lot but I think he took us as far as he could.

"The next level" :lol:

Aye, the next level down.

Good article from Adrian Durham

Celtic going top of the league at the weekend was small consolation for the total embarrassment of yet another season without making the Champions League proper.

This is the team that is comfortably the best in Scotland, yet they are clueless when it comes to mixing it with European also-rans from Sweden. Hard to believe that three years ago this once great club actually beat Lionel Messi and Barcelona on a wonderfully memorable night in Glasgow.

A few months before Victor Wanyama and Tony Watt now at Southampton and Charlton respectively had seen off the Kings of Catalonia, Celtic's city rivals Rangers had been demoted to the Scottish Third Division.

Celtic fans were loving life but fast forward three years and you can see how much damage has been done to the Hoops, with the only club capable of pushing them or surpassing them dispatched to oblivion.

This week as Celtic yet again go on a raid of the sides below them for talent (add Caley Thistle's Ryan Christie to the names of Scott Allan, Stuart Armstrong and Gary Mackay-Steven), they came from behind to beat St Johnstone and go back above Hearts to the top of the Scottish Premiership.

What this all means is that Celtic's policy in recent seasons has been to weaken the rest of the Scottish sides so that there can be no threat to the claim on the title north of the border.

The knock-on effect of this is that Celtic are embarrassingly ill-equipped to deal with Champions League qualification games.

So Ronny Deila's empty words ahead of the second leg in Malmo, talking up the unbeaten run and the success of his side, came back to haunt him. Celtic were only that good because they stripped Dundee United of the players who might possibly have given the champions a close run for their money.

Mark Warburton has won every game as Rangers manager since he took over in the summer

And when Celtic take a glance over their shoulder they probably don't see the real threat racing up behind them. Rangers will come into the Scottish Premiership next season with a winning mentality, the ability to score goals (another five away at Queen of the South at the weekend), a manager who knows what he is doing and has the ability to pick at the English transfer market with knowledge and intelligence (James Tavernier is a sensationally good player, and he's not the only one at Rangers), and an unwritten rule that they will not allow their players to be taken by Celtic.

Celtic will face a Rangers side with momentum, angry and fired up for revenge for what that club and its fans have been through.

These past three seasons have been 'fake', almost worthless, in Scotland. Assuming everything behind the scenes at Ibrox lends itself to Mark Warburton being allowed to continue doing his job with no unreasonable restrictions, normal service should be resumed in 2016-17.

So get ready Celtic, Rangers are coming to get you!
