I actually feel really sorry for efe. He tries his best for the club and the fans repay him by booing. I think he just needs to move on. To be fair to the lad you could tell he was distraught tonight, he's tried his hardest and things haven't gone his way. Good luck to him in the future when (hopefully) he moves on! Still can't get over the disgracefulness of a few fans who think it's acceptable to boo him. All the best Efe.
30 Jul 2016 23:29:03
He's not a bad player he just needs a club with no pressure and scrutiny he can't handle it.
30 Jul 2016 23:38:34
Like I've said before, I don't even blame him anymore! It's the fact he keeps getting picked time and time again despite the fact he's a liability every time he's on the pitch! The guy should have been gone a long time ago! And yes it's not right for the fans to boo him, but he shouldn't even be in the squad never mind on the pitch! The league seasons hasn't even started and look how many times he's made an arse of it! When can u honestly remember the last time he had a steady game with no red cards own goals or costing us a goal! Give him a free transfer straight away to whichever club will take him! It's an embarrsment that this hasn't been dealt with by now!

Personally for me the abuse that Ambrose gets is absolutely shameful and i mean on here as well as in the stadium's and i agree he needs to just move on and hopefully his every move won't be put under a microscope like the so called best supporter's in the world have the guy has been nothing but a loyal servant to the club in his time and i'm pretty sure the last 3 Celtic manager's know a bit more about the game and him as a player than any of the armchair managers shouting their mouth's off about him do honestly booing a player for an og in a friendly makes me sick.

Astana beav.
30 Jul 2016 23:57:11
Was a time I fancied efe for a wanyama type role and I'm still not sure he wouldn't be best there. Definitely needs a man behind him or a stalwart besides him. Frustrating. Hope he gets a break somewhere.
31 Jul 2016 00:02:31
Astana MR, the same Astana were he let a simple cross go under his legs because he couldn't stay on his feet and lustig had to scramble the ball for a corner! Remind me what happened at that corner! Do u remember the Lincoln game before that to? Or was that the park the sun or some other thing that caused that!
31 Jul 2016 00:07:14
The fact our fans were so quick to boo ambrose, our own player BTW, is disgraceful.
31 Jul 2016 00:25:29
Beav he didn't give a goal away red nope he also cleared a ball over the bar that could have been an own goal if he didn't go for it the Astana player would have scored is he good enough for celtic no but he is a good player and every celtic fan was wanting Lennon to play him against juve because we were raving about him he is a good player his celtic careers over because he can't handle the intense scrutiny and pressure hh.
31 Jul 2016 00:28:16
Btw beav O'Connell lost his man at the corner not Ambrose and gordan had a mare.
31 Jul 2016 00:31:08
If a player fails to deliver on a regular basis, why should the fans be criticised for showing their dissatisfaction, if confidence is an issue the management need to resolve, doing the same thing and expecting a different outcome etc, etc.
31 Jul 2016 00:37:37
Trim I think it just that we are down to the bare bones in that position.
31 Jul 2016 00:43:41
To be honest when Ambrose plays full back, he's not half a bad player. I just get very scared when he plays at center back.
31 Jul 2016 00:51:21
Juve! MR that was how many years ago? And how many games has he cost us since? I've said I don't blame him, because he can't help being an absolute imposter of a footballer! It's his managers and people above who should have put him out his misery years ago! I've never known so many exuses to get made for the one player in all my time supporting the club! And yes I don't agree with the booing, but I will not support a man who's constantly let the team down time and time again! Not with lack of effort but by a lack of understanding on how to do basic defending! I'm actually sick to the back teeth of talking about this guy anymore! And i can't believe after all the own goals red cards and giving away cheap goals I still have to! We started deilas reign with this guy and now we've started BR reign with him to! It's simply not good enough, regardless of injuries or circumstances!
31 Jul 2016 00:54:58
And btw MR, there wouldn't have been a corner if bombscare had stayed on his feet and cleared the ball! But there must have been something wrong with the artificial pitch or some other lame excuse to defend the indefensible!
31 Jul 2016 01:18:26
it's simple as this . Shouldn't need a debate, ambrose simply not good enough . However it happens he needs to leave the club . I know it's not his fault he plays but at end of day we need to be ruthless . We're not booing him for the sake of it . Give the fans a chance, we certainly can't cheer him. Too many people getting upset about critisisimg anything . **** me, when did we allow this to happen . What's wrong with not being happy . Last two years we've lost to Slovenian, Poland and Swedish teams to get to champions league . I maybe wrong but I'm sure our budget is more than theirs . No excuses, let's get the job done . Apologise for the language but at end of day of someone not good enough then punt him.
31 Jul 2016 01:40:43
If you feel bad for him. You have to take that out of it. It's that bad with fan reaction to him that some make up other excuses . You can pinpoint glaring mistakes and Gordon is right up there as well. Combined they have weakened the team In vital moments through blatant mistakes. It's hard (being diplomatic, EASY) to pinpoint if those mistakes cost us millions but I'd say they have. Granted we haven't been good enough past the defense. There is nothing left at this club for him and if Gordon wasn't Scottish he would be the same. Nationality shouldn't cover a player but it seems to with us. All The 2nd chance mob are all home grown. A bit of sensible thought please.
31 Jul 2016 01:35:24
Simply stating that he needs a new club but still when he does go
There will be another that gets it but whoever pulls the hoops on I'll have there back like the one on there's hh.
31 Jul 2016 01:46:57
Well said Bobby!
31 Jul 2016 02:23:17
Efe is simply a target for frustration, assuming the critical posters on here have the time, name one current player that has not made several mistakes in the position they play in.
31 Jul 2016 02:34:01
I've got a better question! Name me one player in that team who's made as much mistakes and cost us in so many big games than ambrose! Of course players make mistakes! Just like everybody else any walk of life does! But the trick is to try and learn from the mistakes! Not constantly keep making the same ones over and over and over again! And yes it frustrating seeing the same guy get in the team time after time while clearly being so out his depth it's scary! There is no defence for this guy! And when he gets on the pitch again be it Wednesday or hearts away next weekend, he will make an arse of it once more! There's not a lot of certainties in life, but that's one of them!
{Ed007's Note - Craig Gordon.}
31 Jul 2016 05:12:38
Some of the mistakes have started in mf (which is an area we are not solid) . Efe has been there Gordon is an ever present.
I sat with my brother for few of the last games and asked him to honestly assess Gordon. He is a big fan. 50/ 50s he doesn't exist. At a push 90/ 10s he will opt for zero contact. Don't belive it watch again. Watch it twice and disagree or reply. I don't for a second belive after years of being a keeper he doesn't know where the crunch zone is. By that I mean 3 or 4 players running in. Watch it. He avoids it and jumps to catch the ball in an imaginary flight path behind the action (or God forbid he isn't good enough to read a ball as pro keeper) . When everyone else has missed it he punches it. or flaps if there is any pressure on him away from the ball if it is followed up by extra runners.
Shot stopper argument, yeah he can stop shots but with the right angle what 6'3+ (professional) keeper can't? His fear of injury even stop's him from dropping quickly at awkward angles to make saves.
It is a tactical gift to any opposition and if you cast your mind back we did it when he was at hearts before he was glass . He went down south and stopped shots with a better defense in front of him than th jambos . His injuries added to his lack of courage. Anyone that knew anything about his game could take him to the cleaners years ago and we did . It's worse now because he is f**ked and can't take a hit.
Wake up and watch this guy.
31 Jul 2016 05:21:14
My old granny would of kicked him up and down the trongate without breaking sweat. He would of apologised for signing after the kicking.
31 Jul 2016 05:32:28
Too late :/.
{Ed001's Note - never too late, should be done now for you.}
31 Jul 2016 05:37:47
bugger, must be a problem, i will get it looked at.
31 Jul 2016 05:56:27
Non post again!
thanks for nipping that for me ed001 I appreciate it. I've had my say and I'll retire to my kip.
I'm sure my old granny would of though Gordon was a "lovely boy" (most of the time)
{Ed001's Note - hahaha maybe. You can never tell with women, they can be evil when they want to be!}
31 Jul 2016 06:50:53
Agree ambrose must go. However what about Scott brown? Total waste of a jersey!
31 Jul 2016 12:23:53
What has happened to the best fans in the world, we are barely under way this season and the only ones squabbling are us! It's laughable, if ambrose plays support him, we all know he struggles to handle the pressure. Sometimes I think some of us want players to fail. Personally if efe starts against Astana, I'll be supporting him from the north stand.
I'm also guilty of this. and I'm not pointing fingers at anyone. Ynwa efe.
01 Aug 2016 18:09:59
Its unbelievable that we played possibly the best team in the world on Saturday and we were presented with the softest goal I have ever seen us getting . No abuse from the Barcelona fans scattered around the stadium or no boos .
For those who think the answer is that Efe only gets abuse because he has made so many mistakes . He has been abused and booed for a long time and Craig Gordon has made more mistakes than Efe had made when he was first abused.
