Well it's been a couple of hours since the final whistle and my feelin is not of anger! It's just the realism that our management should go for there own sake aswell as the clubs! I really don't want it to turn nasty for Ronnie because he seems like a nice bloke! But his euro record is abysmal! Home and away defeats to molde are the last straw I'm afraid! We've went in the space of 3 seasons beating Barcelona to be humiliated on a regular basis by European also rans! Molde Malmo Maribor to name 3! Get a new manager in ASAP and let him get bedded in for next seasons CL qualifiers! Let's not be fooled by a few victories in the SPL please! Enough is more than enough! Time for a change now!

have to disagree when you give the manager a fiver and tell him not to spend it all in the 1 shop i'm afraid your on a downhill spiral that's why lennon left and i had little time for him its why strach left and him i liked so don't blame ronnie you can only piss with the mccoist you got.

Think I agree with you DH, ever since that game against Legia, after it I was left with a feeling of ' that was awful ', Ronnie is a nice person, but does he have the attributes to become a top class manager, there might be a role for him at Celtic in coaching the youths and bringing them on, but I think he is very pig headed and its his way or the highway sort of thing, to be anything more than a youth coach, but, and its a big but, if he gets to the end of the season, and he comes to his senses, and maybe starts playing the younger players instead of the established ones just as an experiment to see how they do, who knows what might happen, ok DH maybe i don;t agree with you.

No one forces Ronny to play guys like Armstrong, Gordon (Clearly not the same keeper this season) , Boyata, Blackett and of course the seemingly undroppable Johansen. These players have kept failing Ronny time and again this season. Brown is another and the fact we've bought 3 players from Dundee Utd over the last year shows how far we've fallen.
It's not the system it's the players whom occupy it that keep failing. Rogic had a poor night although I still rate him and Bitton wasn't at anywhere near his best, Ronny needs to start getting brave with guys like Boyata and Johansen and even Gordon because these guys are going to cost him his job, it's clear as well Lustig isn't up to it anymore at RB at this level and should be moved to CB. Major decisions like these Ronny needs to start getting right but I fear it's too little too late for him.

economic disadvantage does not explain malmo…maribor. legia…molde…so it is indeed a taxi for ronnie …
we are not asking for miracles here…we are asking for the team to demonstrate a hunger, desire to win and a tactical set-up that gives us a greater chance of victory. Biscuit tin is another thread and not for this evening
RD had all the economic advantages this evening and a fortnight ago and we were run ragged 5-2 going on 10-4.

What management team is really going to improve that shower of sh**, if your defenders can't do the basics or players can't pass to each other that's the players fault, can't always blame the manager.

Mate please stop kidding urself! Yes the qualities not what it was! But we're talking about basic tactics and organisation! I'm not even going to attempt to argue the point with u mate. its as clear as the nose on the end of your face that ronnies is clueless when it comes to basic tactics and how to set up a team! And if u want an example look no further than molde! A team with a fraction of our budget who scored 5 going on 10 over 2 legs! No big time players or 50 grand a week stars! But have qualified from the group with 2 games to spare! So again I'll say please stop kidding urself eh!

It appears a lot of our fans seem to be falling for the press boys patter exactly which Scottish club managers recently have had excellent results in Europe? Not many that I remember some great celtic managers have been constantly poor in Europe. The mighty English premiership teams down south with all their multiple millions constantly struggle for consistency in Europe. so what gives our club the God given right to succeed annually in Europe. The poor results are ammunition for the Scottish press to have a dig at us I would love us to be able to perform better in Europe but nowadays there isn't much difference between £2 million pound players and £500,000 so unless we are prepared to go with a long term plan to establish a model to create a conveyor belt of talent then I feel we will be where we are for a very long time?

Bigp clubs have been trying to produce these academy players for years. No one can do it. What makes you think we can do what no other team can do and create teams from the youth system? It's just a daydream.

papapabz, its the managers job, if it was so easy to be a good manager, that you left it to the players, the world would be full of good managers, but it is not like that, i have been haunted, haunted after standing in murrayfield watching celtic against legia, it was almost the same team as the season before, apart from what's his name, but the performance was totally different.
