Never got to see the game tonight, but not too bothered about score with weaker team fielded.

Its good to see Fasan getting game time, would be good if he played all this friendly cups game to gain valuable experience. can honestly see him being number 1 in a couple of seasons if reports are anything to go by.

Hope fasan gets his chance have only ever heard good things about him and what I've seen looks good.

Decent game in Limerick tonight, thought Henderson and Ajer stood out in my opinion. Armstrong is not good enough for this team and Boyata is just as bad as Ambrose. Usual morons thought they would entertain us with their flares.

I, like many others, was a bit underwhelmed when I heard we were interested in DDV. Perhaps it's because we've been a bit spoiled so far this summer compared to years gone by, but after seeing all the positive things written about him by Forest fans on social media I think maybe I (we) jumped the gun and he could end up being a really good signing for us. Sorry big man. HH.

Believable3 Unbelievable2

14 Aug 2016 05:06:12
Did he play for zDunfermline?, csnt say I noticed many rave reviews about him, if he did, might just be a steady safe pair of hands to have sitting on the bench in an emergency, rather than a replacement for CG.

Agree0 Disagree2

14 Aug 2016 09:36:59
Not according to Rodgers who seems to rate him highly, as do the Forest fans who are gutted he's leaving. can't say I've seen a lot of him myself but in Rodgers we trust.

Agree1 Disagree0

14 Aug 2016 18:21:53
Maybe u should wait until u see our new goalkeeper on tv for a few minutes before writing him off .
Good job your R D didn't sign him or you would be rating him even worse.

Sky sports say we were outclassed by Inter. No mention of our reserve team. Please please anyone Celtic minded cancel any subscription with these tools.

Believable6 Unbelievable1

13 Aug 2016 22:20:15
That was ridiculous summing up by Sky Sports, not only did we play a reserve string but we matched the Inter team up and down the pitch and could easily have scored a couple of goals . I was well pleased by our performance tonight, certainly not out classed.

@Viking tim cancelled a long time ago. They are the catalyst for ruining the game. God bless Kodi lol.

13 Aug 2016 23:25:07
He played pretty well in my op good shot stopper and confident with the ball at his feet maybe out of position a little for second goal but it was a really classy dink by the inter player maybe if he was near Fraser Forster's height he would have saved it XD.

Agree0 Disagree0

13 Aug 2016 23:53:40
I wouldn't say he's talking nonsense rg96! There headline was INTER OUTCLASS CELTIC, which is utter Shoite! Then they contradict there selfs by saying we matched them for long spells! It didn't mention we had the whole first team missing! Just said we gave a few development players a game! Usual SLY talking one load of pish! So Viking Tim I totally agree bud! And I'm glad I got rid of that Shoite a while ago! They and the EPL have ruined football! And it will only get worse f**k SLY!

Agree1 Disagree1

Rg96 that is what the headline said . Why do you have to read the article?

14 Aug 2016 05:14:46
If Fasan had a great game, doesn't that imply he had a busy night in goals, I mean I never seen the game, but if you were a neutral watching and didn't know anything about the two teams would you think there was a class between the two sides, or would you think they were if a comparable level?, some guys are s wee bit too sensitive, I think, if the Inter team outclassed the Celtic team that actually were on the field, why not admit it, if that's the case, rather than go all precious.

Agree0 Disagree0

14 Aug 2016 07:52:15
Probably to do with that tit Jim White filling all the sky staff heads with "how badly treated his old club were " and all the saps falling for the downtrodden underdog BS .

Watched game with my missus, sooo boring, but a worthwhile excercise if nothing else. got us reminiscing about her late father who bled green and white, regularly went on about Charlie Tully, my generation remembers the lions and more recently the King, where would Tully fit on the best ever Celtic player list.

I've seen So many on here say something to the extent of "whatever Rodgers decision I'll put my faith in him" can I ask why? Yes we've made some exciting signings and spent a bit of money but what has he ever done in his managerial career to be so blindly followed by our fans? One good season in the epl with the best cf in the world and they bottled it. My point is if only our fans put this much belief behind RD who was obviously restricted compared to what BR has been. Imagine if it were ronny who got that result against red imps there'd have been a boycott.

Believable2 Unbelievable12

13 Aug 2016 17:38:44
Bottom line is under the last 6 months of RD tenure it was by and large awful to endure, he struggled badly to change things on a regular basis sure he was short changed at the boardroom level, but him and him alone chucked it

It needed something new and we were never going to accept being short changed this the round as a Celtic fan for me this has helped him and by and large has hit the ground running

RD is away thanks for your time, all the best in your next job in Norway but the fact is BB had we not got someone of BR calibre in it would or could have been the BOARD that were boycotted that is why I was always confident they would push the boat out this time round 👍🍀.

Agree6 Disagree1

13 Aug 2016 17:42:56
So you are saying that a manager who may have been mediocre at his last club cannot succeed at his next? Man U must be cacking it now as Mourinho didn't exactly do well at Chelsea last season? For the first time in a while there is a real belief that Celtic can do well this season. That simply wasn't there during RD's reign and that was not just his fault either. The board went cheap with Ronni because there was no domestic challenge. Backfired spectacularly with our European campaigns though.
We need to give a new manager a chance, we have with every other one. (Even Barnes) !

Agree4 Disagree0

13 Aug 2016 17:44:07
Ronny deila never had plan b or c. What we have seen from rodgers is that he ain't afraid to change formations etc but i do agree with the we should trust him quote.

Agree3 Disagree0

13 Aug 2016 17:59:30
What is it with us Celtic fans at present? Every signing questioned. Every manager appointment questioned. Every managerial departure questioned. Every team selection questioned. Every contract extension questioned.

We live in an age of extremes. Such and such is dreadful and will never improve. Such and such is past it. Such and such is only interested in their own progress and profile.

What we have now is a little bit of hope. Hope that performances will improve. Hope that entertainment levels will improve. Hope that we will positively better in 6 months time compared to where we are now.

It's all positive. No guarantees but it beats where we were this time last year does it no and for that alone we should be thankful.

Agree2 Disagree1

13 Aug 2016 18:02:24
I can see where BB is coming from. It was interesting that a scrappy 2-1 win last week was a tactical masterclass where as last season a scrapoy 2-1 win would have been dire.

Agree2 Disagree1

13 Aug 2016 18:09:07
Birminghambhoy what a pointless post. What had any of our previous managers done in their managerial careers before they came to us? Jock Stein, Billy McNeil, Davie Hay, Martin O'Neil, Gordon Strachan to name a few never had huge success before they came to us. If you have watched the team this season anybody can see there's a vast improvement in our style from the last 3 or 4 years and once everyones fit we are only going to get stronger.

Agree4 Disagree3

13 Aug 2016 18:23:53
JT, RD would never have had that tactical change in him against Hearts IMO it would have ended up a draw.

Agree1 Disagree0

13 Aug 2016 18:28:00
There are some 'fans' of our club who won't be pleased and won't stop whinging until our matchday line-up is as follows:

GOD

GOD-------GOD-------GOD

GOD---GOD---GOD---GOD---GOD

GOD---GOD

Manager: GOD

And even then they'll be complaining that they can't identify who is playing well and who isn't because they all have the same name and they look identical.

Hail Hail.

Man are you having a laugh, Martin oneill wasn't all that decorated till he came to us. I'm sure Brendan knows this is a very good chance and the choices he makes I'll stand by them, same as I did when mon and Lenny were here. Ktf.

birminghamboy if you had been through as many bad seasons as I've witnessed you would be happy so far some of the years when i was younger jim out of the royal family would be a step up and i know the film all i'm saying is give the guy a chance he not a puppet like deila.

You only need to listen to BR s interview after the hearts game, when he got asked something about preparing the players, and he said something about getting the players mindset tight, and compare Ronnies, praise him, praise him, gungho way of trying to get the team to play his way, Ronnie was many s thing, but he was never a competent manager.

Agree1 Disagree1

13 Aug 2016 21:14:28
Besty some might say that team is non existent haha.

Martin oneil wasn't decorated before he came here?
He won 2 league cups and got Leicester into Europe before celtic.

Agree1 Disagree0

13 Aug 2016 22:24:16
Some Celtic fans have got carried away by the praise bestowed on Celtic supporters by UEFA and FIFA after Seville . No longer content on supporting the team some fans want to question every decision made by Manager and Board, no doubt some think they could do a better job in either position.

Agree1 Disagree0

13 Aug 2016 23:25:36
Birminghambhoy i think the key point is he has the fans united, something that we have not seen in seasons. The reason for this is the team are getting results, certain players look revitalised and there is a high morale. I hold my hand up and say i overreacted calling for his head after Lincoln imps defeat, honestly thought the worse. He has changed club for the better in short space of time, things are going to continue to improve with that said he's got my backing.

Agree1 Disagree0

14 Aug 2016 01:58:43
It's not being anti celtic doubting every single thing that we do now and challenging it. Some are worse than others but but we all have a point and a reason for it. Our club has a lot of ground to make up and for anyone to say we have made the right decisions in the last few years and backed them blindly is a muppet. By the time we all pack it in and snuff it we will all have spent 10s of thousands of pounds added up, buying tickets, pints, travelling even if it's taxis to your mates or a boozer!
If we are pish I will complain and if we are good I'll be top of the world for a few days. We are all sick in the head lol. Wouldn't swap it.

Agree1 Disagree0

14 Aug 2016 14:59:40
Pointless post Birminghambhoy. I think most of us put faith in deila also, as for lack of experience or trophies. Rodgers has worked his way up from Chelsea youth development to reading, Watford, Swansea, to Liverpool, and now celtic, all in a relatively short space of time. br will bring trophies to parkhead. Since when is it a crime to put blind faith in a manager? We do it with every management appointment! that's why were the best fans in the world laddie hh.

Agree0 Disagree0

13 Aug 2016 15:09:27
Hope Ciftci gets a run out tonight. Heard a few people say he looked good in preseason, would like to see him for myself. Can't see him stepping up to European competitive level but could be a squad option if there has been an improvement. I don't think he's as bad a player as what we saw last season.

Believable2 Unbelievable9

13 Aug 2016 15:41:39
Simple fact is he does not score enough goals.

Agree4 Disagree0

13 Aug 2016 15:44:20
He's actually quite young but looks ancient and so there's a wee bit of hope. Age on his side at the very least

If we are honest we want ALL the fringe players to work out and to develop and progress.

It can't always be a about waves and waves of new players. We all get a lift but I would still like to see some fringe players turn it around and then apply real pressure on the starting eleven and that way we get hunger and desire.

Agree2 Disagree0

13 Aug 2016 16:16:28
As much as I've would like to be proved wrong and appreciate he's still young but have watched Cifci closely and just can't see that he has what it takes. In fact despite talk of right backs I still think we need a quality central midfielder (come back Paul McStay) and dare I say a quality striker possibly a big man (Chris Suttton or Jan Vinegar from Castlemilk) . All eggs in one basket with Grifiths while Sinclair and Roberts are predominately wide men and Dembele is still raw though will undoubtedly come good.

Agree0 Disagree0

13 Aug 2016 16:39:00
I was hoping that our coaching and facilities, plus playing with better players might have improved him, but he still looks clumsy and cumbersome and his touch is nowhere near good enough for Celtic.

Agree1 Disagree1

13 Aug 2016 16:59:08
I don't think Ciftci is the type of player we can now need, he does not have the pace. With MB/ LG/ PR/ SS along with JF, mid to front we are all about pace and Ciftci just does not have that in his locker.

HH.

Agree1 Disagree0

13 Aug 2016 20:18:58
We have a lot of players who are not good enough. I don't think any of the Dundee Unt boys were good enough. Allen, Gordon are another two but BR knows this but he needs to sort it out and he will. Under Ronnie we brought on too many players who did not improve the first team. That won't happen any more. Anyone BR brings in will be first team players. It needs a bit of a clear out but it is going the right way.

Agree0 Disagree0

13 Aug 2016 12:05:32
I'd like us to push the boat out for Robbie Brady he would be top class in the middle of the park for us or left in a 3.

Believable0 Unbelievable5

13 Aug 2016 13:10:52
Brady would be fantastic but I'd imagine he be worth at least 5-6m then his wages aswell. Would be happy with Jeff hendrick. HH.

Agree2 Disagree5

13 Aug 2016 17:13:47
It shouldn't be a matter of been proved right or wrong that doesn't come into it .
B R like many other good managers can give some players a lift and get them to have confidence and enjoy their football. At this stage Cliftci seems to be reacting the right way with Brendan, however if he doesn't get enough meaningful time on the pitch this may wane and we could go back to the grumpy Clifci again, I hope not.

Agree0 Disagree0

13 Aug 2016 09:33:52
anybody looking forward to the match tonight?, i myself can't really be arse wi the friendlys now that the season has started, i know we get cash but in all seriousness would rather we played partick, think he will put out a strong team, so just hope we come through it with no injuries.

Believable4 Unbelievable0

13 Aug 2016 10:43:27
I think we'll win and hopefully it'll give the players an extra wee confidence boost ahead of Wednesday night.

Agree0 Disagree0

13 Aug 2016 11:58:23
For me it depends on who is playing we have some players coming back from injury so it might be interesting to see how they fair can't see BR play the starting 11 for Wednesday but he might think some still need match fitness or try a new formation so I will watch at least the first half see how it goes.

Agree0 Disagree0

13 Aug 2016 12:12:13
Cash is king. In a league like ours we need to squeeze out as much money as we can. Happy we are playing Inter rather than Partick and looking forward to beating a De Boer!

Agree1 Disagree0

13 Aug 2016 12:57:39
Don't blame us lot of cash to be made by this tourney.

Agree0 Disagree0

13 Aug 2016 13:17:58
Surely it will be players that haven't figured much so far - can't risk first team players this close to the biggest game of the season.

Agree1 Disagree0

13 Aug 2016 14:43:36
Fair enough were making money from this tournament but you're right can't risk injuries in a tournament we can't win!

Agree0 Disagree0

13 Aug 2016 15:03:58
You don't want to get injuries but I think it will be of benefit, we will play a top team tonight imaging what a win would do for confidence going into the CL game, and as it is a friendly unless it an embarrassing defeat it will not do to much damage. With sevco in the league I would have preferred to get the points on the board mind you.

Agree0 Disagree0

13 Aug 2016 17:17:01
I would have thought with our limited money raising resources, all Celtic supporters would appreciate the extra money made tonight.

Agree0 Disagree0

13 Aug 2016 17:45:09
im all for the friendlys Oldbhoy but think that once season started our focus should be on that, rather than taking time out to pencil in another meaningless game, the should be played before our competative games start imo.

Morning all, And the knobhead of the week goes to mr andy walker, who says that SB comments are thoughtless and immature?, but refused to condone the hearts player by saying on live tv, that he wouldn't as he used to do it, so in AW mindset its ok to cheat, but to call a cheat a cheat is as above, this man has been bitter since the bunnet showed him the door, how has he got a job, the most dour faced muppet on sky payroll, can't stand this child.

He called it "clever play" haha. Think they made a mistake when they spelled Walker with an L.

Agree2 Disagree0

13 Aug 2016 11:26:53
Think what he was trying to say that Scott Brown will look like a hypocrite if he doesn't throw the full force of his wrath at the next Celtic player that takes a dive, I would have banned Walker and any other player that dives for 3,4,5 games or whatever it takes to rid the modern game of this blight.

Agree3 Disagree0

13 Aug 2016 13:47:33
Andy walker is a fud, but I can see what he is saying, I thought dembele did a couple of big dives in that game, (one looked like an Olympic dive to me) I believe players, and especially the hearts manager. should stop the dramas and just get on with playing football.

Agree3 Disagree1

13 Aug 2016 17:21:05
Memaself did u think Dembele did a couple of dives or did you actually see Dembele make the dives . Many think Beaton gave the penalty because he thought Walker dived.
First of all the referee must see the dive, May I suggest you too must see .

Agree0 Disagree0

13 Aug 2016 17:48:20
Old bhoy, all I can say is I thought dembele dived, I can't speak for anyone else. There was a particular one that looked "to me" as if he did a salmon leap. If we come out and accuse another teams player for cheating, we have to say our players are too.

Agree0 Disagree0

13 Aug 2016 22:30:34
There are no salmon in the Olympic's game, was this salmon leap the Olympic dive you witnessed and did this come after the dives you thought Dembele made .
I find it strange that I didn't see any of these leaps or dives.

Agree0 Disagree0

14 Aug 2016 20:15:13
Old bhoy, here it is simple, if brown accuses another teams player of cheating cause he dived, if his own player dives then he's a cheat too, is that simple enough for you? You seem to be picking an argument for an arguments sake. Take a chill pill old fella.

Agree0 Disagree0
