Ed7, thanks for the excellent Ronnie video, what a wonderful insight to his mantra, just what I always hoped and expected from a Celtic manager. I feel we so fortunate now, you don't have to be a famous ex Celt for our job, just a great guy who loves being at a top team. This video will thrill loads of our supporters.

Ronnie has a lot of ideas and principles that certainly have never been mentioned by most previous Celtic managers . We are very lucky to have him and we have to hope that we will have him for many more seasons .

Thanks again Ed007 for putting up the video.

Sorry ed I noticed it right away hadn't finished my coffee yet lol! I think RD shows that he really does have a philosophy when it comes to football, I mind we had a discussion about philosophy a while back about it! I'm very proud to have such a man leading our club! I hope he can turn Celtic into the new version of the Ajax of the past!

Great stuff! I love how he sets his priorities. People first. He is a good man and I hope he is our manager for a long time to come. Thanks for posting ed.

so what do you make of it Ed?

Personally, A think this is why LG has came on leaps & bounds a full realise that he ain't everyone's cup of tea but a said months ago that he was never ever going to be up for a sainthood! But it is not that RD is getting more out of him blah blah blah a just think he has better focused!

Also you can see why Broonie was allowed to have a bit of a blow out IMO he probably had "authority" to do so in the condition he "turned up next time tuned in" and nothing was really said / dealt with internally as far as I am aware

Also you can take from it that the SJ transfer was done n dusted long before it came to fore

Lastly, Out of his previous team he seems to think highly of Madsen a said a while back a felt he was the one he would go back far although NorwegianRed though it would be Forren a think?

{Ed007's Note - I've not had time to watch it yet mate as I've been busy all day. There's no doubt that since LG bought into RD's ideas around January his game has improved no end.}

Amazing video.

In some capacity, this man should have a job for life. Feel like that may have helped me!

it was a great video so far,the first part I was thinking this is the manager The rangers needed,they must be so gutted that they missed out and ended up with ally 'everyone complains about footballers salaries'mccoist,but it was very illuminating as well,it explains why berget ended up at celtic,he is loyal to players when they are no longer fit for purpose,a common trait in previous managers,unfortunately I could not watch all of it just now as my gf phoned up with a crisis,i will catch the rest later,as for the comments about LG,they are rubbish,anyone who watched him playing for hibs and for celtic this year could see the only difference is RD was'nt playing him enough,RD spent the early part of the season picking the wrong teams ,playing people out of position,the best celtic perfonances were after armstrong and mackay smith joined the club,RD is a very ispirational speaker but is he a good manager?

Agree1 Disagree2

29 Apr 2015 00:51:11
I think we can take it that not only has Leigh Griffiths bought in , and improved , I think about another twelve or thirteen have too. Question marks about Sceptovic ( big time), and Guidetti. Tonev and whakakso (spelling ) definitely have opted out.
I wonder about Mulgrew and Lustig are they both genuinely injured or do they not want to take up the Deila challenge and are hiding behind their injuries .

Agree1 Disagree1

29 Apr 2015 01:09:25
chris,who has improved?,how many games has griffiths started this season?,maybe biton is playing better, but is that because he is starting more games,football is all about confidence ,if your not playing you are not getting the chance to build your confidence.

Agree0 Disagree2

29 Apr 2015 14:22:54
This is just the start of what RD wants to achieve I just worry about how quick our new defence will settle as we are loosin 2 quality CB's with a good understanding of each other!

Agree0 Disagree0

29 Apr 2015 16:31:49
Total short sightedness from some of the people on here (am I surprised?).

This isn't something that is going to happen overnight but if Celtic as a club from top to bottom buy into this we could be reaping the benefits for years to come.

I know when I played football I hated making mistakes and with some managers you would be benched if you put a foot wrong. That isn't the way to teach young kids to express themselves on a football pitch but unfortunately this is coaching 101 in Scotland. Coaching 102 which I genuinly heard my nephew being told was "when playing at the back you just hit the ball as far as you can, the way you are facing". This was from a coach that had coached me 20 years before.

Point is if RD can get all out coaches to buy in it can only benefit us.

Agree2 Disagree0

29 Apr 2015 22:59:55
Aindoh, if you don't see an improvement in many of the Celtic players , then I for one am not going to try to convince you . I think you are trying to be contrary for the sake of been contrary.

Agree0 Disagree1

30 Apr 2015 07:10:23
Aindoh, to go from losing 1-6 against Legia Warshawa to play 4-3 against Inter Milan even in the middle of a pretty rough period of league and still two cups says it all about Deilas tacktical abilities, but also much about the players improvement.
I even believe the players fitness will improve another level next season, and the team will only get better tacktically.
Its the next batch of players coming up from the youth system, who has trained all their youth in the same way you will see the biggest difference.
Four of the best talents in Norway at the moment comes out of Deilas youth work and they apparently just keep coming.

Jamie, he rates Madsen a lot no doubt. Forren was if I would chose with norwegian CB you should get. He is more experienced than Madsen and I think he would fit well in Deilas style. Madsen as a prospect, no doubt!

Check the Sutton/Deila interview from earlier, now you see the team is working more or less like he said it would after a year or so.

My post yesterday about Guidetti and now today's debate about Cifcti seems to have got everybody thinking, well let's move it on to players we already have on contract out on loan, Balde, Pukki, Fridjonsen and Henderson, I think most would agree Pukki and Balde have had their chance, so either move them on for whatever we can persuade other clubs to pay, or continue loaning them out until their contracts expire (ala Bangura) as for the two young players Fridjonsen in particular has never had a fair chance so I would be happy to see him back at Celtic Park, same with Henderson if we also ship out Boerighter, Tonev and Wakaso that should free up spaces and wages for more youngsters of their talent and ilk.I am also not averse to bringing in good Scottish players also.

28 Apr 2015 18:05:15
Thats about spot on (Timalloy). Henderson looks to be in the RD (mold) as such and hopefully will come home to take his place in the team.
There is a lot of " dead wood " and if we move them on we will have a few bob to spend in transfers & wages, but this really is a crucial window for RD & JC. A selected few players and the team will be in a good position.

My Belief is that RD knows exactly what type of player he wants.
He is not afraid to go and get that unknown or younger player to fit hi system.

Add Ambrose, Mulgrew and Forrest to that list!

Agree0 Disagree1

28 Apr 2015 21:25:34
I think DesH , you are fishing .
There is not a chance in hell that Celtic will sell all three that you named , this summer.

Agree0 Disagree0

28 Apr 2015 21:27:10
DesH: Mulgrew has been out with injuries but is a good utility man. Forest flatters to deceive. Ambrose: lost his way, was ok when he came to us but panics too much under pressure.

Agree1 Disagree0

29 Apr 2015 00:57:20
Ambrose has served us well this year in all four back four positions , without Ambrose we would have had problems in many games .
I think Forrest is showing flashes of his old self and could well continue to improve under Deila .

I think it is rather stupid to get rid of players who are of some benefit to the squad without been sure of having better in .
We have quite a list of players , many out on loan that we need to move on first .

Agree2 Disagree0

29 Apr 2015 04:30:03
Its a very true statement. people (including playrrs) don't care how much you know until they know how much you care. RD seems to meet the requirement

Agree0 Disagree0

29 Apr 2015 05:16:16
wonder why ambrose panics maybe because he has half the stadium waiting to give him dogs abuse if he makes a mistake unlike other players who can make all sorts of mistakes and never hear a peep

Agree1 Disagree0

29 Apr 2015 23:04:36
Very true big D , I admire Ambrose for the very fact that he tries his best every time he goes out to play for Celtic, even though the boo bhoys amongst our support do everything they are able to do to destroy his confidence .

Agree1 Disagree0

28 Apr 2015 09:40:09
Nadir ciftci being linked this morning I really don't think he is the answer by any means the only CF in the SPL i'd like us to sign isn't for a starter but as a potential future star and that's muirhead of Utd the boy looks a right handful what do u all think?

Believable0 Unbelievable2

28 Apr 2015 11:59:46
He's the man we all love to hate. I think he would do well for us if he came. There's no doubt he has plenty of talent as long as he can learn to control his temper, similar to a young Scott Brown. If Ronny decides to go in for him, he'll have my backing, put it that way.

Agree1 Disagree1

28 Apr 2015 12:38:31
But we need better than him stokes would score more goals at utd

Agree1 Disagree0

28 Apr 2015 13:09:52
He is no better than what we have in squad. Hopefully just speculation

Agree1 Disagree0

28 Apr 2015 13:39:15
He has raw talent, but his disciplinary record is bad and we need more experienced striker for CL qualifiers.

Agree1 Disagree0

28 Apr 2015 13:41:45
I Think Rooney at Aberdeen would be a better fit, however we must be looking for a higher class striker than this??

Agree0 Disagree1

28 Apr 2015 14:13:04
It doesn't matter if Stokes would score more for United. We have a better version of a Stokes style in Griffiths and Ciftci is a different type of player, he can handle the physical/aerial battles unlike them. He's caused us a lot of problems any time he's played against us. We brought in GMS and Armstrong from United and they've done really well, I wouldn't say they're head and shoulders above Ciftci so why couldn't he do a job?

Agree1 Disagree0

28 Apr 2015 14:16:20
Its a tricky one. There is a lot I like about him, 2 good feet, strong, reasonably quick and links well. I don't remember seeing him score too many headers but that could be down to UTDs style of play.
We have Bale, Pukki and fridjonsson who I don't think will return from their loans and may be shipped out at a loss. JG will go. Stokes is barely making the first 11 and may take a move. Not to mention the attacking wingers we have gathering dust on the fringes.
I wouldn't have a problem taking Ciftci if we had a clear out. Think he will be in his last year of his contract as well so I'd be surprised if he would cost more than 2m unless any Championship clubs start sniffing. I would obviously want a higher calibre of striker but if we are stuck in the 2m bracket and don't push the boat out then I think he would do a better job than some of our squad.
If he stays on the park long enough!

Agree0 Disagree0

28 Apr 2015 14:27:32
To me ciftci is not the answer.i admit the boys a decent player but we must aim higher than this! There been far to many bang average strikers brought to paradise these past couple of years for my liking! And we've never replaced hooper.no harm to the lad but I think we should be aiming higher if we want to make the champions league! But if lawells out bargain hunting again then this is the caliber of player we're going to get I'm afraid!

Agree0 Disagree0

28 Apr 2015 14:30:17
Scratch that. I hope "bale" does return from his loan :). Balde they can keep

Agree0 Disagree0

28 Apr 2015 17:34:19
I am sure Deila is delighted that if signs Cidtci , he will have Kevbhoy's backing . That would certainly be reassuring for Deila, funny I thought by now Deila had the backing of all Celtic supporters in what he is doing .

Agree0 Disagree1

29 Apr 2015 18:38:29
Chris02 I'd also give my full backing to the Ed if he banned all your pi$h posts or just banned you full stop. You bring absolutely nothing to any thread apart from trying to wind folk up.

Agree0 Disagree0

29 Apr 2015 23:12:53
Now young Kevbhoy , keep calm , last week you told us that you cringe whenever people like your father complain about the bias that Scottish referees have against Celtic . Amazing enough without watching the cup semi final , you still commented on the referee. Now young Kevbhoy , for an old-one like myself it's hard to compete against the youth

Agree0 Disagree1

29 Apr 2015 23:13:53
Ciftci and Rooney are not the answer! I'd be very disappointed! I hope we sign a proper solution rather than average players! We need to get the right CF this time too much wasted money on mediocrity if the players right let's spend 4/5 m rather than this 2m flop pish!

Agree0 Disagree0

30 Apr 2015 00:47:05
Chris, I don't need to see the game to have the opinion that refs aren't out to get us. We got a shocking penalty against United on Sunday but I didn't hear too much mentioned about that. Was it just a tactical one to keep us happy? I don't mind having a chat about these things and hearing people's opinions but you're constantly sarcastic and give yourself a showing up. It's sad.

Agree0 Disagree0

30 Apr 2015 20:58:41
Kevbhoy I always prefer to talk about the things I have seen . Experience has shown me that it is less cringeworthy to comment on what I have seen .
I agree with you we got a soft penalty at the end of the game last Sunday . I also agree with our manager R Deila when he said there was no comparison between the penalty in the Cup Semi final , that decision decided the result of the match , whilst Sunday's pen given by W Collum had no effect on the match result , as game was already won , I think W Collum gave the decision to try to show these things balance each other out. And for him to show that he gives penalties to Celtic .

Now Kevbhoy, despite your youth don't make yourself out a complete green-horn , I cringe when I hear , so called Celtic supporters implying that football in Scotland is played on a level playing field , with fair play and honesty delivered to every club and footballer in Scotland . We all know over the last 3 years one club has had preferential treatment .

Agree0 Disagree0

01 May 2015 14:27:58
Chris I am a lifelong Celtic fan and have had a season ticket for years also. I see most Celtic games each season, and through my personal experience of watching my team, I have formed the opinion that the refs can be pretty woeful at times but are not out to hinder Celtic. Since the semi final I actually have seen the replays plenty of times and my opinion remains unchanged. Awful decision, just like the one we got against United. It's fair to say that the consequences of each weren't the same but the idea that Willie Collum gave us a meaningless decision to try and trick us into overlooking organised cheating is just ridiculous. If you see this reply please try and come back with something less childish than your usual. After all, you're supposed to be more mature in your old age.

Agree0 Disagree0

01 May 2015 16:50:14
You have forced your youthful immature opinion on your poor father , but you are not going to change mine . You DiD discuss the McLean incident before you saw it., or at least you posted that .

As I say , God help Celtic if you are representative of our young support .
I would have thought even you would have got your eyes open by the cheating and skullduggery of the SFA ( the Scottish referees bosses) in their fiddling and re writing of rules since 2012 to look after Rangers/Sevco .
What would be the point of the SFA making a fool of themselves looking after the Govan club , if their referees didn't back the SFA on the pitch .

Agree0 Disagree0

01 May 2015 19:04:43
Believe me Chris, my old man will never be convinced, much like yourself. You keep coming back to the fact I never saw the ICT game live, it's irrelevant. I have an opinion and one refereeing decision isn't going to change that so why would I need to see it? Ataking the end of the day, Regan and his pals at the SFA couldn't organise a piss up in a brewery never mind an all-encompassing, Anti-Celtic association

Agree0 Disagree0

02 May 2015 00:46:31
Kevbhoy, I don't want to continue this , this forum doesn't need us hogging up all the posts. My final contribution on this topic , is to remind you that you commented , ( I think the day after the semi-final ) about the decision and in that post you said that you hadn't seen the game .
