It’s a pity that with you rumoured recruitment in January you are looking to bring in even more overseas players as that’ll push the academy players further down the pecking order. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jim McLean's Ghost Posted December 9, 2021 Share Posted December 9, 2021 I would not be rolling a goal kick 1 yard to a guy who was just down with a head injury. Nice move, go to VAR! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They could literally just copy it from any number of other sports where it already works well. With it being football though, they hate following other sports, so they'll take years to come up with something that is significantly worse 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s been the case so far so what’s to suggest it will change? Rangers look just as fucking bad at the back as we do this season, sometimes worse If anything it will be injuries that f**k us Edited December 9, 2021 by Jinky67 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Concussion subs aren’t really going to cut it either. Who forces a manager to replace his star CB with whatever is on his bench? You really need independent assessment, and only the elite competitions can afford that. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fantastic up front, absolutely fucking c**t at the back. I know you are more than likely winding Jinky up, and doing it very well, however if Celtic had a coach who had the ability/tactical knowledge to instil some defence discipline into the team they would have qualified from this group. Leverkusen aside, the other 2 teams Celtic have faced have been very average. It’s definitely an opportunity missed by Celtic to progress.

Leverkusen aside, the other 2 teams Celtic have faced have been very average. It’s definitely an opportunity missed by Celtic to progress. That's a bit simplistic though. If they focused more on defending then they'd be sacrificing a lot of their attacking threat. The biggest problem is that most of the defensive players they had available are absolutely shite, regardless of the coach that was going to be a problem. If they'd had Taylor and Jullien available for the campaign it might have made a difference.

Betis are sitting 3rd in La Liga 1 point off 2nd To suggest they’re very average is pretty disingenuous 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
