Watchn the highlights again there! It's worse than the 1st time I seen it! The guys talking about the game said u wouldn't see that in Sunday league game! And ripping our zonal marking to shreds! I actually think ambrose isn't playing with a full deck honestly! The guys on another planet! I really think we need a change to the coaching team now! If ronnies going to stay,and that's a big if,then he's got to get the best help available to him! That means getting shot of Collins and Kennedy for me! Especially Kennedy! Seems like a genuine big guy but for me he's got far to much to say for hiself and looks to me like has to much influence on the team! And its not in a good way! Utter shambles at the back! A lot of good things going forward but awful defensively!

Here we go again. Another important game another poor result. How many do we need to list? That's before we discuss Ambrose! Why does Ronnie rate him? Every Celtic supporter and I mean every supporter knows that if Efe played we will be under pressure at least once in the game due to his error. Why does Ronnie play him? No point in saying we have no one else. It's upto the manager to make sure we have cover. We have 3 recognised centre backs, and one of them is Efe? Ronnie should have identified this issue and sorted it during the window. Also his coaching staff such as Kennedy who is defensive coach needs to start doing his job. This zonal marking is not not not working. If Ronnie is going to keep his job he needs to sort out his staff real quick.

Agree0 Disagree4

{Ed007's Note - We signed Simunovic, Johnny, him and Boyata will be our first choice CB pairing. The zonal marking thing I can't get my head round, Strachan, Lennon and now RD have all used it and I've never been a fan of it simply because it takes top quality players for it to have any chance of working.
I want to know why the 3 men I've mentioned, Kennedy and Mjallby before him have all stuck by it, I dread to think that someone else is having any input on this.
I'm seriously starting to think that one of our major underlying problems is the old 'too many cooks' scenario. }

I don't see why we don't just man mark in Europe as that's where the real quality is delivered in the box and stick with Zonal if they like it so much in domestic games

Agree0 Disagree0

{Ed001's Note - it shouldn't matter if the team were getting it right. One set of players to block runners and one set to head it clear, but the blockers are not blocking, so the opponents are getting a free run. If the blockers can't even do something as simple as block, which is much easier than man marking, then surely asking them to man mark would just be a recipe for disaster?}

02 Oct 2015 12:46:59
Good point 001. Someone else posted about putting someone on the post but guess with that too that's encouraging us to defend deeper. What is your preference to defending set pieces zonal or man marking? Still think Celtic lack a lot of height as we only have Biton Gordon and the CBs with height and Gordon is too shitey arsed to come off his line

Agree0 Disagree0

Can someone tell me why Deila is still the manager of Celtic. I'm really confused here?

Surely we could get a better manager like Danny Lennon or Owen Coyle?

Behave!. Can anyone never see any positives?

It's Celtic we are talking about. There are no positives about that joke of a team.

Agree3 Disagree2

01 Oct 2015 23:55:56
Big bhoy talk to Delphic. He can tell you all day long why Ronnie should be manager. Seemingly Ronnie is progressive and improving the team? Surprised you can't see it? Come to think of it neither can I? Strange

Agree4 Disagree4

We all know Ambrose has mistakes in, he seems like a great guy, with a great attitude, very dedicated, but makes too many mistakes, that's why I wouldn't play him. As for you, reading your posts after the game I see you couldn't get on quick enough to have a little bitch about Ronny. Ronny rates him, was your words. What you forgot to say, because you don't have enough about you, was he also rates Keiran Teirney, has had him training with the first team since16/17, and put him into a huge pressure game last night, the kid was brilliant. Characters like you would have been foaming at the mouth if he had made a mistake, - Deila doesn't have a clue, why was he playing a boy in a big game like that, etc etc. So despite pressure from fans like you, our manager was brave, knowing it could come back to haunt him. By all means criticise, but you remind me of the school bully. Oh and hopefully Nesbitt is the next one, - he got a hatrick away on Wed in a Europian youth tournament!

Agree0 Disagree0

02 Oct 2015 08:42:11
Also I meant to say that Simunovic would have played last night, so it was either Ambrose or move Lustig, which would have meant an inexperienced Janko playing right back, also Lustig never finishes a game hardly, meaning Ambrose might have had to come on anyway. That's all Ronny's fault though, it's also all his fault that Virgil wanted away from the minute he walked in the door, yet we replace him with 1day of the transfer window. It's Ronnys fault we've needed a left back for 3 years, never bought one, and he has to be brave, put his neck on the line, in the knowledge all the Johnnymacs of the world will be waiting to pounce, by playing young Teirney.

Agree1 Disagree0

02 Oct 2015 12:56:14
Ronnie hasn't been at Celtic 3 years so its not all his fault he's doing the best he can with the budget and squad available that's why Ambrose and Tierney have been playing LB too. Most will agree the team needs an overhaul and the board won't fund that immediately and Van Dijk is doing what's best for his career, RD has no bearing on someone wanting to in a better league with more money. Would you not want to change your job if someone offered you more money doing the same thing?

Agree0 Disagree0

02 Oct 2015 15:48:06
I absolutely agree with you Bravetart(love the name by the way) - I was joking when I said all those things were Ronny's fault, he gets the blame for everything, and never any credit(for eg Teirney) Also we know Van Dijk is entitled to be ambitious, and I wasn't slating him, simply saying the planning at Celtic is Appalling. Everything is over cautious, last minute, has to be a bargain. We knew Virgil was off, I actually thought we needed 2 centre halfs, and with hours to go we sign Simunovic. At the very last minute, during his medical in Paris(he had been playing U21s for Croatia) after doing scans they were worried about a knee injury he got in his youth days, so they had to fly him to a Dr they know in London for further checks, imagine we hadn't got him, that is typical though. It was the same with Hooper leaving, we still haven't replaced him. There is no way Ronny is behind any of that though, - he'll want the players as early as possible, it must be Park/Lawwell worrying about spending 50k more than they have to.

Agree0 Disagree0

01 Oct 2015 22:09:11
Just when I was beginning to warm to Ambrose he shows why he shouldn't be aloud near the team! Hard to pick many faults, A decent team performance where Fernabache didn't look like scoring then Efe Ambrose take a bow! But saying that the groups wide open, Maximum points against Molde and we will be looking good to qualify. Just that draw feels like a defeat tonight!

Ambrose. Enough said! But Delia can get to . Should have made a change 5 mins after equaliser but waits till the 83rd min!. Then brings a left back on!. Total joke! What an embarrassment to bring Armstrong on in the 90th min! I've wanted Delia to succeed but enough a enough. Time to go

Believable7 Unbelievable4

01 Oct 2015 22:06:48
Sorry, but I've defended efe against all the haters and keyboard warriors, but tonight was indefencable, he's cost us 2 points with 2 mistakes,, scratch that, one mistake where he should've let the ball drop and boot it clear, or head to boyata,,, the other goal, what was he thinking? Attack the bloody thing! That's primary school level defending

Believable3 Unbelievable0

01 Oct 2015 22:27:58
Haters and keyboard warriors - you mean fans who actually understand football and can see the charlatan in a no.4 shirt.
Just because he is a Celtic player doesn't mean you just accept dross

Agree2 Disagree2

01 Oct 2015 23:08:12
Totally agree Stevie. There should be no place for Iffy or zonal marking at CP. time to pap both right out of the door. One or both cost us goals in every big game. I rubbish my pants every time we concede a corner

Agree1 Disagree2

01 Oct 2015 22:03:09
2 games in EL! Leading both games and fail to win with shocking defending!! Malmo leading comfortably 3-1 ambrose comes on and it's 3-2!! U see the theme here Ronnie!! We should have 6 points!! This guy cannot be allowed near our team ever again! This cannot go on! And I don't give a who's injured!!! This guy cannot be allowed near the team!! Utter disaster of a player!!

Hopefully efe's last game. Gordon not far behind.

Keep it up thier end and we can win this

Agree0 Disagree1

02 Oct 2015 00:50:20
Comical disagree mate.
I haven't watched a great team against us yet. Be it Qualifiers in the cl or our europa group. We have been capable of beating every team we have played and haven't when we should of.
Stand by what I said. We could of won this even with the goals we lost. 2-0 up I felt we could of taken 4 off that team . We shouldn't of needed to score again.

Agree0 Disagree0

01 Oct 2015 21:17:05
Can someone explain to me why Ambrose was signed, played and still plays for Celtic.
Absolute disgrace he is given a shirt after the inept displays over the years.
Tonight sums up everything wrong with the club in that man

We've suffered over the years but this guy makes Gary Caldwell look good

Agree1 Disagree0

01 Oct 2015 22:04:09
Ronnie rates him, really. Says enough for me.
Response like that is why our club is on downward spiral because too many just suck it up like lemmings.
Keep paying your hard earned on inferior product and await the pipe dream of the british premier league that our owner promises. Oh that's right, smoke screen for the deluded to believe and roll up for tonites match.
I had work commitments tonite but even if I hadn't not sure I'd gone, had enough of it from the top.
Not one objection heard by our fans at a game this season to how our club is currently run is a disgrace

Agree0 Disagree0

01 Oct 2015 22:07:55
Well let's hear Celticforever defend Efes performance tonight. Hate getting on Celtic players backs, but he should never. And I mean never have a starting jersey

Agree0 Disagree0

01 Oct 2015 22:23:33
Tam anyone who comes on here and defends that guy should be laughed off this site! This is a guy who should have been sold 4 or 5 windows ago! But here is still here making horrendous mistakes that cost us games! And make no mistake,the reason we didn't win that game easily is down to one player and that's ambrose!! And Ronnie can't get off the hook either! Because his decisions to play him are costing us every time he's on the park! And how many games are we going to lose goals at set plays before John Kennedy gets told he's nowhere near good enough to coach these players!! We need experienced coaches in there!!

Agree0 Disagree0

01 Oct 2015 22:23:49
In any walk of life when someone performs in a role that they fail miserably on a continued basis then they're shown the door.
If not then you then need to question the manager who oversees and accepts this.
Can we really say a young boy like O'connell would have done worse, not given a chance because of this amateur and ridicously packed off on loan.
What's even worse is the fact he could have been shipped out last January and we turned it down.
He plays again then it's the "inmates running the asylum".
Overall, fingers still need pointed at the boardroom, that's the calibre of "player" they allow in a shirt

Agree0 Disagree0

02 Oct 2015 00:40:11
Steve efe has been here for 4 years. Came in under Lennon! Ronnie rates him. Leeds came in for him last window not a lot of money offered and Celtic would not sell? Joke

I've said it before. Ambrose could be playing really well to make you think that he is a decent player then boom the Efe Ambrose show takes over.

01 Oct 2015 21:26:20
I've never thought that man was a decent player! It's an embarrsment that this clown gets near Celtic park never mind the team!! Posted earlier my thoughts on this,hope u put it up ED! Disgrace of a player!

The defence looks slightly weaker than a can of bass shandy.

Still, we have had our shooting boots on recently so the four goals we will probably need to score will be a piece of piss.
