Got asked today in work would i be gutted if Aberdeen beat us on Wed.
Rather than my usual we won't lose i thought frig we might but if we get beat it might finally be the end of Delia.
It is becoming harder to motivate myself to go to matches everyweek. For the first time ever i'm questionning my season ticket. We have always had one player worth paying the money to go to see Lubo, Henrik, Nakamura even wanyama. There was always one player i was afraid of losing but at the minute there is no one i would be annoyed if we sold or who i really want to watch.
I hope Roberts shows his potential and let us have some entertainment or else i might hold off on my season ticket renewal until i see ronny gets us in europe or he ships out the door.

The type of player you spoke about was always the trademark of Celtic teams since I was young and without sounding over-nostalgic, we have seen less and less of in recent years.
Obviously we are very limited financially and Geographically, but that is where our youth development should have been the solution?
Surely in the past two decades, Aiden McGeady was not the only special natural talent we managed to discover and utilise?
We have the best resources and facilities in the country and should be doing much better.

This is what the people running the club need to take notice of. When fans who have followed the club for years start to ask if it's worth it, the club need to sit up and start listening.
All Celtic fans ask for is the club to try and put the best team possible out on the park.
If you look at the team at the moment, how many of them could be classed as the best possible player for their position given our financial position, I would argue that under the current financial restraints, nearly every position could be improved on.
It's the same with the management team, given the size of our club, is Ronny Deila, John Collins, and John Kennedy, really the best coaching team we can attract? .
Fans aren't stupid, they can see the club is doing everything on the cheap, if they're not careful they'll risk driving a lot of fans away, and once they're gone it will be hard to get them back again.
No one's demanding we win the Champions league or anything like that, we are realists, what fans do expect though is a team that doesn't capitulate to Ross county, and let everyone else in Scotland have a good laugh at our expense.
I honestly don't think that's asking too much.

WHat about Griffiths, Tierney and Bitton?
02 Feb 2016 12:41:07
Gerryc , did you forget we played almost 80 minutes with 10 men?
02 Feb 2016 12:48:42
I agree with most of that gerry. Rabmac i agree with griffiths. But wee tierney has a lot to learn yet and bitton will be off in the summer i'd imagine to the highest bidder.

Sorry, I hit the wrong button, I was just going to say that in big matches we keep making the same mistakes all the time, I know a lot of it is individual errors but Ronny is paid to sort these things out, he doesn't seem able to do this.
02 Feb 2016 14:20:02
Bunkie boy, the fact we were down to 10 men makes it even more important we didn't make mistakes.
The defending for the second goal had nothing to do with being a man down, allowing them 2 free headers in our penalty area was just poor play.
A couple of weeks ago, Aberdeen went down to 10 men against Ross County but organized themselves and won the match 3-2, just as against Inverness last season, when we lost a player, I never really felt we had the organisation or discipline to go on and win the match.
If Aberdeen can do it then we should be able to do it as well, that's how managers earn their money.

Tell me this isn't a post wanting Celtic to get beat to get rid of the manager? If that's what you mean then you have no credibility and proves my point about some fans and the so called 'faithful through and through'.
02 Feb 2016 18:05:36
Cm bhoy
I am sure like many other fans I don't want us to get beat in fact I'm desperate to beat Aberdeen because I think a defeat would be catastrophic for this team of powder puff posers. I do though want Ronny out, maybe because I care about the club more than those who continue to make excuses for him because they were taken in by the sound bites of this self publicist. He is incompetent. it would be helpful if his apologists packed in the faithful through and through garbage, I suppose all those chaps wanted Mowbray to be kept on. Ronnie is no better.
02 Feb 2016 18:30:25
Very well put Grout64. It seems if u want the manager sacked then u want the team to lose. which of course is just another tactical excuse for the lovestruck Ronny Romantics to throw back at you. they have loads more, like who do we bring in, back to square one, he's a genius with youth so on and so forth. Usual scare mongering guff. The man is an imposter. Only the fans that are awake can see it. whilst they sleep and dream of ronny roars in fantasy land.
02 Feb 2016 19:10:12
grout64, just because people don't have the same opinion as you doesn't mean we're apologists or making excuses. it's because we genuinely believe he's the right man for the job that he's been given which involves a lot of development. i think folk wanting rid of him have no patience, no forward planning and are glory hunters. it doesn't mean i'm right though.
02 Feb 2016 19:14:47
you too bhrybhoy, a difference in opinion and you revert to name calling. i'm sure you only post when we lose.
02 Feb 2016 19:40:00
I post MORE when we lose that's all. That is ok isn't it. I gave credit when we went on that massive 3 game run against the poorer teams. But reality bit back on Sunday. And i realised my error of judgement. again. but your right, its only my opinion of the reality that's happining and not the maybes of what could happen.
02 Feb 2016 20:31:13
no need to get snarky, you're the one that likes to call people names because they have a different opinion than you. that's where we differ. you want to see the team win the next game. i want to see the team move forward for the next 10 years.
02 Feb 2016 22:26:30
Aye gerryc if fitba was that predictable, it wouldn't be fitba.
02 Feb 2016 23:08:29
Ed weres my reply to the above.
{Ed007's Note - All your posts are there.}
02 Feb 2016 23:34:41
Bhrydobhoy I think there are a lot more hate of R D posters on here than any love struck romantics .
There must be something wrong with fans who criticise other fans who support the manager and players .
You can be a Celtic fan, and ridicule left right and centre but if you don't encourage and try to build confidence you cannot regard yourself to be a supporter.
02 Feb 2016 23:35:08
Sorry mate was getting caught up in the Giggs stuff there mustve deleted it. Cmcbhoy my reply was that no one on here is innocent of namecalling. its all banter pal, take it easy. We all want the same, success for celtic. Just differing opinions on how it happens. don't be offended. I like a wind up.
02 Feb 2016 21:41:44
Good for you. Pretty sure we both want them to win the next game and move forward. None of us on here are innocent of namecalling and sniping are we. I get a bit of stick on here but you take it and dish it out. don't take it to heart. I learnt that last nite 😠from Ed. Need more banter to cheer us all up.
03 Feb 2016 00:00:04
Oldbhoy there's no point you or i going over old ground mate. You may be able to cheer and encourage even though its falling on deaf ears. that's your thing. I have a cut off point and its usually when i realise someones trying to mug me off, like the board, RD and half the squad are doing just now. i'm still and always will be a celtic fan, just a wiser one.
03 Feb 2016 09:39:06
Bhrydobhoy, I'm all for banter but I suggest you look up the word. You're right though we do all just want what's best for the team and we're no all going to have the same opinion. It was either Socrates or Plato that said "I am the wisest man alive, for I know one thing and that is that I know nothing"
03 Feb 2016 16:52:31
Good quote, but i mean that i'm wiser than i was. It wasnt me claiming to be wiser than you or anyone else. That wouldn't be wise lol😊.
