Cue all the claims for the SO CALLED CELTIC MEN.......you know the ones, always been CELTIC supporters blah blah blah.

As for the team, the only person that matters AT THE MOMENT is WGS (LIKE IT OR NOT) ultimately its his arse on the line either way. It wouldn't have mattered if wee Shaun would have scored a hat-trick yesterday the ONLY thing people are seeing is that McGready wasn't there.



Mark KC

RE: So Called Celtic men comment.... See my above post. That is just complete unadulterated pish

RE: Maloney scoring a hat trick yesterday... If that had happened we would have won the game... but it didn't happen... however, I have been saying for months now, 4IAR but Strachan must go! But now 4IAR is no more... Strachan still must go and even if we do win the league I still want him to go! Because its going to take another hun fuck up to hand him the title, just as it did in his 3 previous seasons, especially last year!

P.s, We didn’t sign Pennant… I meant Allialidere or whatever Arsenal reject we took on loan which lasted like 1 game. Either way it was just another dud signed by Strachan.

As soon as the final whistle blew yesterday, the first thing I said was GS has to go. It was his fault for the loss. Rubbish midfield, dodgy strikers, cmontae.

I always believe that scottish players should play in old firm matches, they know the true meaning of this game, not some rubbish midfielder from Spain.

We will still win the leaugue, they will drop points wed to the dons, we win tues and game is a boogie.

Hail Hail

ps - did you all see the muppets sitting around Walter during the game.

Souness is a complete tosser. Eamon Dunphy put him in his place on RTE last Tuesday!

“You don’t know what your talking about” LMAO

But yes I see where you are coming from mate; I think most of us are on the same wavelength with regards to Strachan. This has been coming for some time though. Strachans OF record has been terrible since he took over, and given that what he is up against… that is even all the more embarrassing.

I still hope and pray we will win the league… last year I was confident we could do it even with 7 games to go… but I think this year will not be the same… there were a number of mitigating circumstances that allowed us to over take the huns last year.

This year they are fired up and whilst they are a bankrupt pile of pish I think they now have enough to stumble over the line. Aberdeen’s record at the Bigotdome is terrible… I expect the huns to win that one. I also expect them to pick up another win at Diseaster road… which leaves Tannadice… for me that is the only realistic chance of them dropping points… but even then… I still think they have a better chance of winning that game more than ever because of what is at stake!

We can only hope, but with or without the title at the end of the season, Strachan should do the decent thing and resign.

An arrogant, spiteful and clueless individual who is responsible for a decline in standards of our great club over the last 4 seasons. We are up against the weakest Rangers side in decades and yet we trail the filth by 2 points. I will actually consider this one of the most embarrassing moments in our history if he lose the league to this bankrupt pile of pish. They are nothing more than an average SPL side… losing the league to them would be like pipped to the post by Falkirk.

Strachan has been fortunate during his tenture at the club. Please do not come on and defend him, open your eyes to the debacle that he has created. He has had 3 league championships handed to him, had never been tested and was never the right man for the job. Oh whats that I hear from the deluded Strachanites… the last 16 twice, something MON never did!? Oh wake up and get a grip… Alex McLeish took a miserable bunch of apes to the last 16 with 7 points… the very same season they did the impossible and finished 3rd in our two horse race!

But let’s get back to what happened today!
Why was Maloney playing today? A player who has not kicked a ball in earnest in 6 months, thrown into biggest game of the season. To put him in for McGeady, the one player, like him or not, who is capable of a talent of spark, just compounds the matter. And the fact that it was Maloney who failed to track back with Davis for the goal?? Well, enough said.

Making big Jan skipper was a "get it up ye" to all the people (the fans) who feel that big Jan does nothing during a game bar foul the opposition and be in the wrong place at the wrong time. Which is what he did today, bar a decent header in the first half. Skippy was practically a lone striker today. Hesselink is a lump of dead wood.

In the midfield, as much as I like Hartley and Crosas, they are too similar in that they are holding players. We were screaming out for a Robson like player. Someone who could drive at the huns defence. Oh….Wait a minute, he was on the bench!! Seriously if he was fit enough to be on the bench, then he was fit enough to play. If Maloney got a game then why couldn’t Robson!? Remember the impact he had at the end of last season? (lets not forget Strachan was FORCED to play him last year)

Ultimately, Strachan is an arrogant, insidious individual whose attempts to justify his decision by indicating that supporters dont know what they are talking about is disgusting. To come out and say we were brilliant today (we werent) is taking the mickey.

How our team has plummeted in quality since this horrible little man has taken over.

I do not believe we now have the bottle to win the title and Rangers will go on to take it. Which is sickening given we have been 7 points clear TWICE! 5 points clear TWICE, and 3 points clear TWICE!

Do not point to the fact he has won the last 3 titles as anyone could have managed Celtic over the last 3 seasons. We have had virtually no competition.

The runners up in the SPL this year will not qualify for the Champions League because they will be up against the likes of Arsenal and top sides from Spain, Germany and Italy. Therefore he has also cost us a financial windfall that will probably go to the vermin. They will now recover financially, just as it looked as if they were on the ropes.

I honestly believe that we have had the weakest competition in the 4 years Strachan has been here. Compare to when MON took over and Rangers were in the ascendancy.

The title last year was Rangers to lose, and if they didnt have the run in the UEFA Cup, as we had in 03, then they would have won the title.

Our performances in the Champions League this season in particular have been woeful, in fact, the worst atmosphere I have ever witnessed at Parkhead on European nights.
As a manager, he is inept. What else can explain the handling of players such as Riordan and Balde, the imbalance of treatment of McGeady and Boruc and the shocking signings of players such as Gravesen, Donati, Killen and near miss of Du Wei.

As for Dundee Utd, I am more concerned that they wont actually do us a favour as they have been probably the most difficult side we have faced this season.

I hate being negative about our team but can anyone honestly say that they are looking forward to next season under his stewardship?

To say he is more successful than MON is a crass statement, MON laid the bedrock of success that WGS should have built on. He is not a better manager, that is a fact. MON's team would walk all over this side. Strachan has also been a more successful manager than the great TB but again nowhere near comes to level of football the great man had us playing.

His signings have been awful too. McCourt, McGinn, and numerous has beens, never was and never will be's. He hasnt made a penny on any of his signings - bar Petrov, who he didnt sign, An example is Naka who will go for free in the summer. Gravesen, Balde and probably Donati as well - all big earners that we should have maximised a profit on but havent or couldnt.

Strachan is not capable of buying a player though and that is the problem, I dont think Lawell now trusts him, frankly neither do I. Out of around 40 players coming into the club during his tenure, he has had 3 successes, Boruc, Skippy and Nakamura. Brown has had a decent season, but not the wonder that everyone says, he will need another better season to be a success. Other players such as McCourt, McGinn, Mizuno, Killen, Dublin!!, Telfer, Camara, Hutchison, Pennant, Du Wei, Keane,Donati, Jarosik have all been fairly poor to some degree or other.

There is no point in us saying "he has potential" when we are clearly needing the finished article now. He has also spent £30m on players, hardly loose change.

Strachan must go and he can take all those fuds who still support him aswell… please spare us your apologist happy clapping pish.

Stunning post rk!Intelligent,articulate,factually correct and incisive!.......Allow me to expand a little, if i may. Ref Kenny Miller points raised later in thread- i was always an admirer of Miller mainly due to the fact that he offered us what we don`t have i.e. pace! Miller was hounded out of Celtic Park for a few million to further improve the balance sheets. Lawell informed him that if he didn`t move to Derby he`d be 5th choice striker and unlikely to wear The Hoops again. Was Strachan complicit in this decision or has he just got no balls and panders to PLC? - a la Ruper Lowe at Southampton................Furthermore, my biggest problem with Strachan is that he has created a chasm amongst The Faithful. I have never felt more detached from the club i love than during his tenure. He has actually managed to depress me! Then i wise up,dig deep, renew the faith and vow to reclaim my beloved Celtic depite his and the PLC`s best efforts to transform our precious club into something unrecognisable! FTAT................p.s. this thread should also be in Celtic Chat - noboby should miss rk`s incisive analysis!FTAT

To rk1888, thanks, what a bitter arrogant wee man you are!
Where do you get off telling lifelong Celtic supporters who dare to differ in opinion to you that they should go and support some other team, another one of the MON for sainthood brigade no doubt, and it just goes to show what a clueless spectator you are when you call JVoH a lump of wood. Of course any real Celtic supporter is hurting now, I personally have a sick feeling to the pit of my stomach, but to then call immediately for Strachan to be hung drawn and quartered is just childish and churlish in the extreme.
Then again I suspect you're probably one of those that have been waiting and desperately hoping for this to happen in order to be able to scream for the head of the manager who, whether you like it or not IS more successful than MON ever was.
Shame on you and those like you.

SO RK is an arrogant wee man for telling lifeling supporters how to support the team while you do exactly the same thing with a different point of view

As far as i am concerned Martin O Neill and who strachan used to play for should have no purpose in this thread and using them to deflect people's real arguements is arrogance

Completely agree with the first post.

So I awake the day after the night before. Maybe it was a bad dream, maybe it’s today we play the Huns, alas no the mind clears and the gloom descends.

Usually after any defeat, especially one pot marked by issues that were under our control, I feel frustration and anger that we have performed below the expectations of a Celtic team.

This time it feels different, I feel numb, there was certain inevitability about the performance. I can’t be bothered to go down the well worn path of why imo we performed poorly.

It’s very sad that as a Celtic supporter you are raised to be passionate about our club. We don’t change teams, we don’t support only in good times, and we don’t sit in our comfortable armchairs and watch Celtic on TV all the time. So where has this passion gone, it’s been transferred to anger, frustration, and gloom.

There’s lots of reasons why, but take the aftermath of a poor performance against the worst Hun team in a long long while. We will spend more time arguing about the manager than anything else.

If WGS is guilty of anything in my mind he’s guilty as charged of dividing the Celtic support and that’s very sad. We can’t even agree to disagree. It’s one end of the spectrum to the other, from “look at his stats he’s the best manager since Stein” to “he’s a complete incompetent”. These extremes of view leave no middle ground to respect each other’s opinions.

I hope we do go on a win the League, paradoxically now only possible with the help of others. As far as WGS goes, as I can’t see the divide closing with him in charge, and despite his many attributes, I hope he goes.

You are either retarded or a hun - possibly both. Get a life you sad git.

Shame on you! How dare you castigate a fellow supporter for calling it as it is and echoing the sentiments of so many. Rk`s post sits there loud and proud, i note you have neither the facts or intelligence to contradict it! Spout your pro-Stachan/PLC rhetoric as you will.............facts are, we`ve sussed it and will no longer stand fot itFTAT
