I hope everyone was watching the "Greatest Football teams" on sly before kick off today.
All about the Lisbon Lions and big Jock. Jim Craig stated that Stein played players to their STRENGTHS (Ronnie hope you see this programme) Jock was all about fitness as well, but knew his job 100 times better than Deila. Jock loved attacking teams yet for semi final away to Dukla Prague he sent out team to defend, after game he vowed to players "I will never play one up front again" (please someone give Delia a copy of this documentary)
Bertie Auld said all the players sang the Celtic Song on the coach and in the dressing room, Stein used to open the dressing room windows so fans could hear the passion coming from the players.
At the end Craig was so emotional looking back on that team and those achievements.
Compared to a giant like Stein, Ronnie Deila is a Dwarf. He could get a part in pantomime as DOPEY.

That was a real manager mate, one strong enough to chase anyone who tried to interfere with his team, a man big enough to admit when a mistake or if something wasn't working to change it, a man clever enough not to repeat mistakes over and over again hoping for a different out come everytime.

We were so fortunate to have that great man at our club and it is highly unlikely we will ever have a manager with so much knowledge, charisma, foresight and inspiration.
I went to my first ever game in 1962 and was lucky enough to see the Celtic revolution transpire into my teens and every manager and team from then on, will always be judged on that magnificent assembly and many will come up well short. Although we all live in hope that one day.

Jock Stein was a great manager, but he made his mistakes too . What about Celtic in the first round of European Cup in 1967/68 season . What about the league Cup final when he dropped Tommy Gemmell and we got hammered . In 1970 we beat Leeds in European Cup semi dial and by all reports from players Stein told them the final was Celtic's and that they only had to show up to win .
Although Stein was brilliant he wasn't God and could make mistakes like everyone else .

Chris . sorry, old bhoy that is exactly what I mean when I say he learned from his mistakes, something rd seems unable to do .

Old bhoy, for gods sakes, it's jocks Stein, for what he achieved will never be bettered.
I don't remember him as manager, but will live with all is Celtic supporters, for generations.

Absolute disgraceful vendetta against Deila. Timalloy you are still bitter that he replaced your hero, Lennon.

It, s true everyone makes mistakes even big Jock but they were few and far between. I think the interesting thing to consider is that the majority of the Lions were at Celtic park before the big man and in truth weren't very successful. He turned them into the world class team when a different manager wouldn't. My point is the managers role is absolutely vital. So when I hear people constantly saying what can RD do if players make mistakes they seem to try to absolve him of his responsibility to produce a winning team and get results.

I am delighted we won today, I always want us to win no matter who is our manager. There were some positives today a good last half hour after a very poor first half. Big Jozo seems to be settling in and Scott Allan made a difference when he came on. KT was great again and Mcgregor seems better in a more central role. The one thing I was disappointed with more than anything was that ICT had loads of possession and knocked the ball about quite leisurely. If ever a game was made for high pressing then this was it but it didn't materialise. I know we played on Thursday but Biton and Johansen didn't and some others have not played a lot of football so I thought we could have got after them a bit more. Never the less a good three points at a hard venue.
