There isn't gonnae be anymore signings unless we sell a few first.can't understand we've reduced the debt to more or less nothing which if we win league and get automatic seeding into group stage of CL we are onto a good amount of cash,why aren't we making a couple of big signings( which we need badly)to gaurantee the title,,1or2players out and we fall apart.I'll bet if we don't beat Sion then and only then will players leave and new ones come in,really really struggling to understand this ed what have you heard about players leaving....

3 of our best out and we cant score a goal at home now thats poor talk about the other team in glasgow being poor they had 13 players out yesterday and played the team placed 2nd in spl off the pitch team lennon went ive had enough of this ,
Faithful bhoy(o)(o)

Believable2 Unbelievable4

Not very faithful are you. That 2nd top team you talk about under McCall have lost about 18 goals against gers, shocking Last week referee gave them 2 dubious penalties same ref who has awarded gers FIVE penalties in 3 games shocking. Lennon will be here long after Sally goes. So "faithful bhoy" go and join Sally ILWT Timalloy

Agree0 Disagree0

Think the original posters opinion is very valid think what the main point is hoops Kay , izzy all out and we are struggling to score , when the other mob has 13 player out ?? Please don't start all these theories up about refs and ex-gers players I.e. Inverness , m/well , st Jon managers point is we shouldn't be getting beat with the likes of them home or away , you also talk about how goals they scored against well ? Same can be said about us vrs Aberdeen? And the most stupid comment u said regarding penalties FFS how many times do we miss.
I really think Lennon is won't cut it this year. The players gave there all last year and" failed" we have no edge.
Bring back wee Gordon

What about Celtic getting more penalties than ANY other british team last season

22 Aug 2011 20:56:22
Timalloy I didn't know you are so worried about the outcome of our tax case. Is it because it's all doom and gloom on your page ( sack Lennon sack the board sack your mascot sack everyone) we will let the owners of our club worry about the tax case and we will worry about how our team performs. So give it a rest. You should worry about the way your owner goes about the way he runs your club. No debt is great but ask yourself this For someone that's loaded why doesn't he splash his cash? Best fans in the world? I DON'T THINK SO. Last season you'd were calling for lennons head and guess what same thing again. So you ask yourself this timshe why doesn't your owner spend money when yous are all going on that yous need players? Worry about your team and we will with ours.
IN ALLY WE TRUST

22 Aug 2011 20:14:18
I'm a Rangers fan just coming on to say that I think Rasmussen's natural scoring ability is an asset to any club, I obviously want him sold because I think he could really do a great job for Celtic I think given a run in the team he would score alot of goals. Just like Boyd for us who to be fair to him set up some goals for Miller in a Old Firm derby mostly only scored goals & maybe that kind of work rate isn't acceptable in the big games but it's the winning on a cold day at St. Mirren & Dunfermline that win you championships. Just saying boys really think if Celtic gave him a run in the team he'd do the job.

Believable1 Unbelievable1

He probably would mate, but like Boyd I think he's lacking in all-round play which I think is why he's not picked (aside from being a Mowbray regime signing). Scored in every game he played I think, or near enough. With the current mob unable to do anything I think he'd be worth a shout, even if just to put him in the shop window and punish Stokes, Commons, Samaras etc. for not showing up.

Agree0 Disagree0

Cant see how you can say board are crooks? explain please - go on fill us in on the criminal in's and out's of these crooks?

ktf davybhoy

Agree0 Disagree0

Celtic are a public limited company, their accounts are available to all shareholders. If they were crooks I'm sure we would all know about It. The debts 500k, thats 9M less than It was in January so quite clearly the board are working very hard to keep our finances managable. If you have evidence that the Celtic board are crooks you should take that up with the authorities. If you don't you should keep your opinions on the matter to yourself as I'm sure you don't know the first thing about the financial implications of running a football club.

Mark

Agree0 Disagree0

Been a season ticket holder now for 14 years and in that time i've seen brilliant ,good ,mediocre and downright dreadful performances, Saturdays performance definately corresponds to the latter. What i wont do is applaud the team for that kind of performance .A Celtic player must have a certain mental toughness purely because they're expected to win every week ,and when things arent going well during a game players with that toughness raise there game, too many present Celtic players lack that mental toughness. Rant over

I think the fans need to start being a bit more vocal at our home games, by this I mean in a positive way, get behind the team instead of having a go at them if we don't get an early goal. Alot of our players are young and I don't see that giving them abuse or booing them off the park is going to help confidence. I'm sure a few of them were bricking It on Sunday after the draw on Thursday night. I wouldn't be surprised If thats the reason Samaras never played any part on Sunday the pressure must be unbearable. NL has to now lift these players for an important away game in europe and I don't think the fans reaction after yesterday will make his job any easier. You always hear managers coming to Celtic or Rangers going on about keeping the crowd quiet and frustrating them so they start getting on the players backs. 60,000 fans stood at Celtic park and applauded the team and manager onthe last day of the season even although we didn't win the league, Where are they now when the team needs them? Its about time we started showing everyone that we can be the 12 man and give these players the lift they obviously need to play the way we know they can.


Mark

Believable0 Unbelievable5

If they are rotten why cheer them what good is that

Agree0 Disagree0

Its called encouragement, booing them doesn't seem to be doing alot of good. I think to say they were rotten is a bit harsh If half the chances we had, and I'm talking about the penalty and the 2 shots that hit the post had gone in the net we would have all been quite happy. Sometimes things don't go the way you want, It happens. We are supposed to be Supporters, the clues in the name. If their that rotten you should maybe go shopping with the missus instead.

Mark

Agree0 Disagree0

I agree Mark.... No-one has the divine right to win every game. Yes we as a club expect to beat St Johnstone at home. But we seem to be our own downfall sometimes. Faithfull through n through? In Lennon i trust

Strikers.

Stokes has improved this year with his all round play and will score a barrell load for us if Lenny keeps him in the centre and stops putting him out to the left.

Hooper i hope he is back soon. He is a excellent partner for Stokes and works so hard that he reminds me of Lineker because a lot of his work is not noticed by the fans or media.

Sammy. is the only forward we have that can play up front alone. this is because he dosnt really use his team mates enough. I have always supported Sammy and will do while he wears our colours as i think he is a fantastic player but we need more strikers like Stokes and Hooper.

Daryl Murphy not reallyu had the oppertunity's, however not really looked the type we need either.

====

All in all we need to buy speed and ability for c/h and cover for left back.

no requirement to improve midfield just hold onto our players.

We need strikers like Hooper and Stokes and a big strong centre forward to change our tactics.

Continue to support our Bhoys, try to see the bigger picture guys and girls.

lets not look at referees performances they are not as bad as they are portraid.

Believable0 Unbelievable1

22 Aug 2011 13:52:23
Midfield we have an amazing amount of talent in there.

Our captain Scott Brown is fantastic for us, however when he makes a poor pass he is hounded by our fans. they dont see or watch him control his team mates when they make an error or there heads go down. Brown is a fantatstic player for us (our very own Neil Lennon).

Ki is just a wonderful player and he is looking like cionfidcence is pouring through his game just now.

Commons has this injury to his foot lets rest him. he is a great signing by Neil and creates alot for our team but if he is injured then we wont get the full range of his passing game or creation.

Ledley is a workhorse like brown, however he has a better ability to score goals.

Kayal is badly missed, he is a very aggressive player and takes yellow cards for other team mates when they make errors, he can also create and score too.

Paddy McCourt is a very good creative player, however he is very inconsistent. hence why Neil dosn't pick him often enough. He can create and score goals.

Shaun Maloney the amount of people who say this wee guys just dosn't have it anymore. In my opinion have not got a clue on how football is played by our beloved team, like McCourt both compliment each other very well for close control and play. Maloney is a fantatasic player, again like McCourt dosnt get picked often enough, however this is down to us playing the 4 4 2 system. he is a link player for a 4 5 1 formation like Paddy.

Forrest is young and will improve, however whilst Commons is carrying his ijury i would start Jamie.

Believable1 Unbelievable6

Brown is utter urine, open the gates during a game and you'll see him running round the car park chasing a balloon.......Ki, Kayal are excellent, the rest in midfield are average.

As a gers fan, I hate to admit it, but all you guys really need is someone other than your useless swede at the back and a partner for hooper.

However, In lennon we trust.....to be runners up again

There are too many panic merchants on forums and phone ins. I am not saying that you are not welcome to your opinion however take a step back before you all start talking from another hole other than your mouth. I don't get to the games as much as i would like too. I went on Thursday night and we didn't play with the speed or creativity of what i expect from our Celtic team.

On the team.
Forster is a good young G/K, however i wish he would use his size and strength to collect crosses instead of punching them. But i am happy with Forster in Goal.

Cha Dui Ri was the best player on the park on Thursday night, he was charging up and down the line all night, at times for Commons and Forrest didnt move well enough for him.

Majstorovic is too slow on the ground and can be sucked in, however he did win everything in the air on thursday night.

Mark Wilson i am a fan of marks, however he was played out of position on the left back and the c/half, didnt have any pace, height or good enough strength to cope with the odd challenge from the forwards .

Mulgrew did ok however like Wilson didnt have much pace.

All in all we need another C/half Loovens dosn't get the chance with our supporters anymore as he is prone to the odd mistake. i think he is one of our better c/h's.

We need an injection of pace due to losing Izzeguire and Kelvin Wilson not available, we are too slow at the back (apart from cha).
========

Believable0 Unbelievable4

People keep forgettin ledley here, ledley was the only player i saw putting in effort and moving, the whole game we where still not giving options, in my opinion cha du ri didnt do enuf and dont try defend forster he is terrible he shuda caught a lot instead of missing punches and everytime he coulda have calmed the team down he punted the ball, gave it away put the midfield and defence under pressure

NL for the sack? You must be having a laugh? Lenny was sent bombs, bullets and death threats, yet he stuck it out and remained manager of CFC for the love of the club and its supporters. Talk about loyalty?

THAT's the problem RIGHT there Yea great fella,been through plenty to still be at the Hoops. Question I would put is: are you happy to stay 2nd... but have a lovely fella keeping us there? I would rather have an arrogant tosser like Strachan winning me the league, but hey, that's just me I guess...

After watching the game yesterday and watching the highlights last night it's clear we need an out and out striker. Yes Dan was mince as were a few others but we should have won 5-1 at least, The players got worse and worse as the fans got more and more desperate for a goal and all mistakes were highlighted more by the moans and groans from the stands.

Mr Lawwell and DD need to invest in the playing staff, Yes it's great being 500K in debt when other clubs are millions in debt but if we can't get a better quality of player on the park the fans will lose interest and not go back, We have already seen a drop in season ticket sales and it will only get worse if they win the league this year.

I thought this was a rumours page not a platform for
voicing opinions. Celtic had a busy pre season and should be more than ready for these games.
I dont buy the lack of confidence thing - only a week ago we scored five at home. Yesterday was a bad day (it happens to all teams) and its up to the manager to analyse what went wrong and make the necessary adjustments. No real Celtic fan is going to judge the team on one or two performances. The answers will be given at the end of the season. What Celtic need right now are the hard work of the Management team in preparing the team for the next game, the hard work of the players and just as important, the support of us supporters

Afternoon ED007 just adding my tuppence worth to weekend result, sure it was a bad day sunday but that is all it was, our players did not become bad players overnight. Injuries to Hooper, Izzy, Kayal and Wilson hit us hard but these guys will be back hopefully 3 of them Thursday.Also Commons and others have lost some form. Some of the posts last night were unbelieveable but then some gers also posted anonymously as usual to stir it up, we are Celtic, Keep The Faith.
We all know team needs strenghtening, I just hope Lennon is strong enough to face up to board and TELL them he needs money. If we do get money go and get Murphy of Motherwell much better than maloney, then buy a strong centre forward but this will cost £4-5m, but if we win SPL we go straight into group stages of Champions league so we get £13m+ straight away.
WE will win in Sion on Thursday I am sure of it and this will restore confidence.Finally Lennon keep them all back this afternoon and PRACTICE PENALTIES. hail hail Timalloy {Ed007's Note - Afternoon Tim.}

In Lennon we Trust?

Well I do, and always will as long as he is the Celtic Manager.

I don't have blind faith in Lennon because he was a Celtic great and is Celtic through and through. I have faith in his ability as a manager but I believe he needs a hand tactics wise. In my opinion he got it wrong against Sion and St. Johnston.

He needs the backing of the board in the transfer market to buy a striker and a centre halve ( again just my opinion )

Sticking my Sammy could see him lose his job.

I really hope he gets it right and is our manager for a long time to come and he will have my full backing as long as he is in situe.

Its always the same with our fans. Turn on the players at the drop of a hat. Obviously the performance was really bad but it happens. I even read a comment saying Kris Commons is a "6 month wonder" after only 4 games this season. Some fans need to get a grip and, more importantly, get behind the team.

Rangers fan here... I think BOTH sets of fans are having a go at their respective managers at the moment. The thing to remember though is, they are both rookies. Mistakes will be made, bad results WILL happen this season, for both sides, but I tell you what, I think this will be a great season for the SPL. The thought of A Mc and NL going head to head has made this season VERY interesting. And let's face it that cant be a bad thing because neither of us is getting to a Europa final or going to be signing world class players so let's bring it on, and enjoy it...

Believable3 Unbelievable1

22 Aug 2011 10:34:53
I can't believe the reaction of some so called fans to yesterdays result. We lost a game that we should have won by a country mile, It happens. We totally outplayed St J and If It hadn't been for a bit of bad luck we would have won. Their keeper made some good stops, the woodwork saved them on a couple of occasions and the goal we lost took a deflection. I know we are not playing as well as we could be but with injuries etc we have hardly been able to play the same team 2 games in a row. Most of the fringe players who are coming into the team because of injuries are not NL signing and would be out the door If someone made an offer for them. NL is doing a good job at Celtic and has had us playing some of the best football since probably the Martin O'Neil days. I've been on the Rangers site to see what reaction they have to the result and to be honest most of them after seeing the highlights are of the opinion that Celtic should have won the game and warning each other not to read to much into the result. NL was given the job on merit and managed to rebuild a side which came within 1 point of winning the league against one of the best managers in the history of Scottish football. Some people need a reality check. We lost a game, get over It, get behind the team and get behind the manager.

Agreed, Mark is talking a lot of sense, and a big positive from Sunday as Maloney had a great 1st half...lets see some praise for the wee guy when he deserves it instead of people constantly calling for his head.

Agree0 Disagree0

Maloney is being paid very well to perform to his best. If any of the people who work for me only did 45 minutes of good work a week they'd be out the door.

Agree0 Disagree0

How can fans expect loyalty from players when players get no loyalty from fans...just a thought not having a go at anyone :)

While the bulk of the support keep idolising Lennon for all the wrong reasons, the board will find it harder to dump him. Look at the football on show these last few games... Forget all this thunder nonsense While Lennon charges up and down the pitch spitting snotters and looking for "clarification" the team is giong downhill. No wonder the board are not handing him buckets of cash, they will sell to give him money, not new cash to re-invest, they don't trust him enough but wont punt him because of the inevitable fan reaction... we only have ourselves to blame for that

Interview with Neil Lennon and Peter Lawell, you can ask them one question each. (Shame free thread please, keep the questions football related)

NL) Why didn't you buy Shane Long in January 2011 for €3.5Million

PL) Will it take a half empty stadium or a boycott before you get the chequebook out?

NL) Why are you being blamed for the players ineptness

PL) Why do fans think they know how to run a club better than you?

Agree0 Disagree0

NL) Why do you want to manage a club where some of the fans turn on you an call for your head after 1 poor result?

PL) Do you think spending money we don't have and running the clubs debt up is good business sense?

Agree0 Disagree0

NL) why did you dye your hair blonde all them years ago? PL) how many pies do we sell on matchdays?

I didn't post yesterday because I was livid, what a disaster of a performance. Lennon brands the team as immature and naive, well Neil, take a look in the mirror. What do you see in Shaun Maloney, when he's on the team we might as well go out with ten players, why did you let O'Dea go on loan whilst you continue to play big Dan?

We need a big centre forward and if the board don't loosen the purse strings we'll be trying to stop five in a row this time next year.

We just need a half decent forward, we all mock Kyle Lafferty because he is so bad, yet he can score for fun in the SPL, what does that make our forwards?

after eading posts after the game about we wer misiing 4 big players in wilson izzy kayal and hooper i agree with that if they wer playing we would have won on thu and against st. j but fact of the matter is we cant use these players bein out as an excuse a team like celtic wen players r injured the players comin in 2 replace should be more than capable we need 2 face the fact that we r a pish team rite now celtic of few years ago aka martin oneil or strachans team our B team would hav easily beat sion and demolished st.j ma point is our team just isnt good enough mark wislon. hooiveld, murphy, big daniel. forrest who is young and fast but bein honest hes not good enough, samaras and maloney r not fit 2 wear our strip playing 5 asides never mind professionally the fans arent mugs seasin tickets go up we bring out new strips we pump some amount into our club and its about fkn time we seen something coming back

Hi everyone,
Long time reader first time poster here.
I am an Australian Celtic supporter,living in Melbourne. I am not fortunate enough to be able to watch Celtic every week. I belong to a supporter club which shows MOST games,but when it's a late kickoff in Scotland it's a midnight kickoff here and that makes it mighty tough to get up for work the next day when I get home at 3am,but I always read the match reports as well as have a look on this website to see a supporter reaction rather than a journalists one...
I've been lucky enough to see the hoops in the flesh a few times,I've been to Scotland twice and saw 2 out of the 3 games they played here in pre season and was at the Brisbane game a few years back too and loved every minute of every game.
I just thought some of you would appreciate some perspective. I can't BELIEVE that our supporters would boo our team off the pitch just because we Drew against a Swiss team in Europe.I am also amazed at the reaction from fans saying to sack Neil Lennon after our first home loss in 10 months. 
I know Celtic supporters think they have the right to watch the team win 3-0 every week but I think a reality check is needed. 
First of all,since Lennon took over he has given the squad a much needed and complete overhaul. Everyone is complaining that we haven't signed a striker and a keeper but come onin just over one season he has brought in players like hooper, stokes, izaguirre, kayal, Wilson, ki, commons...these are probably our best players and have been at the club for less than 2 years. IT TAKES TIME FOR PLAYERS TO GEL. I think we have had a better squad on paper compared to Rangers over the last few seasons but one of the reasons theyve beaten us to the title is because they have had a consistent starting lineup.if you look at their squad there is probably 5-7 players who have been there for 3 years plus and they have good team chemistry.who out of our starting 11 has been there for more than 2 seasons? 1- Scott Brown. It's a massive ask of someone to win the league with a completely new squad.
We lost on Sunday,but why is it always panic stations when we drop a game? From reading the match report it seems we dominated possession,missed a penalty,hit the bar twice and were the better team.it's not like we got played off the park. You can't expect to win every game of the season,were gonna drop points at some time and hopefully this wil be a wake up call to the team,and I'd rathe lose games now and get the team woken up then drop it in the last few games like we've done so many times in the past. 
We are also missing arguably our best 4 players in hooper,Wilson, izzy and kayal. We wil get these players back and will be better for it. The season is long and we still have to play rangers 4 times. They wil drop a game at some point and it's an even playing field again.
Us Celtic supporters should consider ourselves lucky that we support one of the most famous sporting clubs in the world,have a fantastic stadium,have had success in Europe and have a manager who is as passionate about the club as any supporter.
I follow the Aussie Rules footy down here and support the Richmond Tigers who are the most unsuccessful team of the last 25 years having played finals just 3 times since I was born. But one thing I'd never do is boo the players off the park. And after seeing my Tigers lose,I always cheer up knowing I've got a Celtic game to watch of a night and can go down to the pub full of confidence that I'll see some good football and 9 times out of ten, a victory.
So keep the faith, support Lennon,support the Team, be a supporter and NOT a barracker, and go to game proud of your team.consider yourself lucky that you're able to go and watch this famous club week in week out ad give them a big hail hail for me next week. Don't boo the players off the pitch. 
Sorry for the rant

Everyone says they have faith in Lenny.

But to ofter he is being found out , I started to fall away from the Lenny idea after the Dundee Utd game last season before christmas . Too many tactical faults , very stuborn and nieve at times.
If Lenny never had that trouble with the rangers fans last season then a lot of celtic fans would have called for his head after Inverness last season and the once who say otherwise i have my views as if strachen was the manager everyone would have been calling for his head.

Rangers had a weak team last year and won the league , I haven't totaly giving up on lennon through but the only way to win over sertain supporters is to stand up to PL and the board and get some better quality players in .

At the close season ( season ticket time ) lennon said he had a list of players he and the board where working on getting . we already had wilson and matthews in so wanyama and foster came in so what happened to our great list . we lost a striker to portsmouth for only 1.5 mil says it all about our manager anyone think of the pied piper . the board plays a choone and lennon follow whilst everyone else follows him.

Lennon have some bal*s stand up to the board and demand help.

Desmond Dermot has not showen for the past 3 AGM's when things have not been good but he's happy to show up at the scottish cup final and join in the celebrations . Everyone needs to take off there green tinted glasses and realise we are not being run properly as our owners and board members are taking high dividends out of the club each year while we suffer on the park . our season books went up £50 this season , 2 new strips money is coming into the club but millions each year goes to Directors in dividents .

share holders need to hit back and demand dermond attends the next AGM and not only show up at parkhead when we win something.

Sorry for being so negative , but they always talk about our finances but what they dont mention is the amount they pocket each season . I was one share holder who voted to give my dividents back to the club but we lost the vote as all the high earners voted to keep there's . I have never cashed my cheque in and never will. can Desmond say the same. I vote for change.

Hi ed. I know your sitting back ed and letting the bhoys have a good rant and I am reading their posts but some of them r talking crazy shxt like sack Lenny, put all the blame on Paddy, kris commons is shxte, sell stokes. Like what r they sniffing? We where missing 4 players 3 very important players that make us tick. We miss a penalty and hit the post twice and the other team scored with a deflected shot and to listen to some of bhoys ud think the league was over.. We had a bad day at the office I agree we need another striker even steavie wonder could see that. I can't remember the last time I seen a Celtic player score with a powerful header. We need a big target man. Keep the faith bhoys. We are Celts so lift your fuxking heads and look up. We fight till te end. Let's unite and move on.

Why is Mcourt not starting games?
Why does Rasmussen not get a chance?
Why if the manager has such faith in samararse does he not start against st j?
Why are we we worrying about losing a league again to a rangers team who have been getting progressively worse for the last 4 years?
We need premiership quality players at least 1 striker a centre half and we need rid of the players not bringing anything to the team ( samaras, murphy, maloney, loovens, hooiveld ) how much wages are these players draining from the club we would be better selling and bringing in 2 quality players on higher wages.
MON THE HOOPS
