How did we ever win all those titles cups and CL with all the refs against us lol.

17 Sep 2018 21:34:35
By being much better than we would've needed to be under normal circumstances.

Ray an. I suspect most Celtic fans would ask how many more titles and cups would Celtic have won given impartial referees.

Refereeing mistakes are part and parcel of the game, it's all part of the show business, it gives you something to cling to if your team hasn't played well, and you can blame the referee in an attempt to camouflage your team's shortcomings, all supporters of all teams do it, Celtic and The rangers supporters seem to be the most paranoid, but it is easy for a referee to make a mistake, when you think about how things happen in a split second, and the ref has to make a decision there and then, some people go over the top in their critiscimn of referees, yes, I am talking about you, Old man Chris, but I would keep my critiscimn for that three man panel of fools, who have more than a split second and still make the most rediculous decisions.

Everyone is aware of that Aindoh, even those it seems that are relying on SMSM radio broadcasting, which isn't always quick to point out pro Sevco mistakes or anti Celtic .
I and imagine most that really find fault look at the game as a whole, if I notice one team getting continuous soft fouls and avoiding cards compared to their opponents treated the opposite, I think of bias and corruption .
Now our compliance set up is cleverly pre- designed to come up with the required outcome . That is just the way it is.

Dembele, Roberts and Armstrong out the first team. Massive lost to our team and no quality replacement.

On the bright side the bank balance is very healthy and the Celtic plc will get their bonuses.

17 Sep 2018 09:21:22
Them getting their bank balance related bonus is the only thing that helps me hang on. Ntcham and Boyata will be off too. If we want any money in for him and let’s face it, Lawell needs cash in to ensure his goody bag next year he will be sold in January. If he doesn’t go then Lawells failure to replace him will cause us losing millions to add tonthevtens if millions he has already cost us.

He should be sacked never mind rewarded for abject failure.

As I’ve said before, McGinn will move on for millions to add to that total of loss. But, remember Defabet deal and the Disco lights. Where would we be without them? Phew!

I know we can seem ungrateful/ unappreciative of the success we have achieved under BR and we wouldn't swap a minute of it and will never forget the 'Invincibles' and the 'Double-Treble' winners and obviously hope we carry on wining trophies, breaking records and creating history.
However, there is absolutely no doubt that the manager is being let-down in his quest to keep improving and building this Celtic team in the way he has repeatedly professed .
The start to this season has been inconsistent to say the least, with CL disappointment, a transfer window which failed to replace lost quality and indeed - missing out on 'stick-on' target' the Boyata situation disrupting the squad and losing a last day asset.
The timing of the International break was bad luck, just as we had put two impressive performances together, but the last three months have no-doubt affected consistency and confidence, resulting in patchy performances, with players 'not at it' and a lack fluency, creativity and goals.
There is nothing we can do about adding quality, for the time being, but there is a lot the players can do, to improve their attitude, sharpness and application and prove a point to everyone.

good post once a bhoy. Not talking about directors bonuses etc. I don't know how many, if any, players we approached and were given a polite "No but thank you for showing your interest but playing in the SPL is not really what I hoped for. " Even mickey mouse teams in England can offer more money and give a bigger display window.
Personally, I don't believe we have not tried to get players.
Did we try hard enough? I don't know. But a player wanting to move is not worth the disruption.
Sadly, the days of any honour among contracts has long gone. The vast majority of players are inj it for what they can get (I am not saying its wrong) .
However, some of our "Invincibles" have just not got into gear yet and when they do. someone is in for a mauling.
(I am not naive enough to think we don't need to strengthen but WHO? McGinn knew what he was doing and professing a love for Celtic was nice to hear but if it were true he would be at Celtic Park now. he played a good game and got a move down south.
The rest, we all know about.

Ok magicpole we get it, you don’t like Peter Lawwell (note the spelling) we are all disappointed we never managed to get certain players during the summer. You’re posts are becoming repetitive and boring. As I said, we are all disappointed with the transfer window business but we don’t rant on regarding it. I noticed when we beat rangers recently everything was okay, now when we draw with St Mirren Peter Lawwell gets it from you, for goodness sake give it a rest. oldkilly.

I never said everything was ok. I said it should have been 4. Just bypass anything I put up. You don’t dictate what I can feel and write as I wouldn’t with you. The problems caused will be long term if something isn’t done. My post was a reaction to OMC saying we should name a Stand after cheapskate. I gave a few possible names I think would sum him up.

We still haven't won 4 League games in a row for over a year. We have won 9 out of the last 18 home games which is dire. From this week onwards hopefully we hit some form and start fireing on all cylinders.

18 Sep 2018 20:59:09
What's the prize for winning four league games in a row .? Do the SPL put up a special bonus of £1m or more for achieving 4. In a row .
I thought the goal in the league is to finish at the end with more points than any other team in the league, somehow or other we have managed that for our last 7 seasons so we seem to have the knack of winning the league ok .
