Good to see folks and ex-players lining up to take a pop at Celtic, nice. Obviously entitled to their opinion and no doubt if Celtic sign a Larsson it will be because of these guys having a pop or will it?

'Downsizing' is the new buzz word - what does this mean and who would it benefit at Celtic?

I want to see the transfer policy overhauled and the performance last week was just short of a horror show but downsizing, why?

So are you basically saying every celtic fan has to sit back, keep quiet and not voice their concerns?

Truth of the matter is, majority of fans are sick of seeing players sold and replaced with absolute duds who would struggle to sit on a bench at a championship club!

So, no

I suggest you give me a suggestion

Was surprised by McAvennie in today's papers.

I'm not sure downsizing is quite correct for what has happened here. Injuries aside I can't remember a time when there has been so much competition for places (in certain positions at least). Now I'm not saying anyone in the present squad would get a look in at either MON or WGS time but casting my mind back there wasn't much competition for places in particular at MON time. I remember at the time wishing we had more strength in depth. Just a pity it seems the depth has superseded the strength.

Mrs E you should know DN by now always critisicing, never suggesting.Never a constructive word said.

Mrs E suggest I give you a suggestion? Your the one constantly posting nonsense yet when someone expresses a different opinion you spit dummy out cause their opinion is not the same as yours

Rayman see if you refer to thread you started down page about clear out, you will realise YOU have contradicted yourself once again by even trying to challenged what I said! Absolute clown

The solution is straight forward- stop cutting corners signing dud players as replacements!

Toffeebhoy, Thought it was the last thing a new Manager needed to hear from an ex Celtic player a couple of days before a Champions League qualifier, a real confidence boost (not)

I did say in my post about the transfer policy so not sure what part DN disagree with?

I only asked about the downsizing that keeps getting mentioned and how it would benefit anyone at Celtic? Peter Lawwell has a massive ego I think most have agreed on that, why would he want to make himself look like a crappy Chief Executive? It's a genuine question.

Rayman, I'm was past it now. Life's too short :-)

As far as I know no Country outside the big Football Countries have got to the last 16 twice in the last ten years . On account of the massive wealth that the major countries have via TV deals etc .
Then its difficult for all small countries .

{Ed007's Note - Off the top of my head I'd say Galatasary have reached the Last 16 twice in the last 2 years.}

@DN my old adversary as usual you have nothing constructive to say and revert to insults. Stop moaning and say something constructive its getting boring. My earlier post was a suggestion, have you ever heard of this? And a possible solution, but you go ahead just keep moaning at everything, 1 day it will hit you to come up with an idea instead of rubbishing everybody elses.

Yourman is it 3 times with Strachan doing it twice and Lennon once?

Not sure about the other Countries though

@rayman sorry i'm struggling to see how my post is classed as a "moan" when the jist of it is the same as what your "suggestion" was. You have clearly tripped up and made an ar$e of it

The only 'down-sizing' I would insist on is to get shot of the injury prone guys.
As much as I like Mathews and although Kayal, Forrest and Boerrigter have a bit about them when they are on form:- Together they miss far to many games.
Brown is not far behind if I am totally honest and being the captain saves him.

It is the income stream that is the problem folks due to the economic downturn the hospitality income suffered ( I know as I cut back and no fellow business people who did the same!) Believe it or not ( and this is the same for both sides and well documented for both halves of the Old Firm) the bedroom Tax had a significant impact on the concession element sacrificing there season ticket, sprinkle an element of the disgruntled and factor in that the EPL teams that get relegated get a £40 MILLION "parachute" payment we get £2 MILLION! for winning our league and struggle for domestic cup sponsors! like all you have to "live within your means" unless you want a visit from ERNIE!

It is classed as a moan because you don't post anything yourself mate. You just have a go at people who posted. Look at your own posts they always replies and never constructive. I have said it before I say it again YOU have nothing good to say about our club, I have never seen you post anything remotely positive about Celtic, don't you find that strange. Until such times I have you down as a sevco sympathiser.

Rayman, i'm of the opinion you are a wind up merchant.

Posted a lot on this-both positive and negative.

You still have not distinguished difference in jist between my response and your threads you started about duds-(apart from zaluska if i'm correct, lennons signings?).

Is there anyone else out there who would rather a decent run to the europa league finals rather than a scudding in the champ group stages?

No chance Pauly mate call me materialistic but of the two are one is a windfall and the other is "waashers"

I love the champions league nights in paradise but would I swap any of it for Seville? Not a chance. Even in defeat that was one hell of a run.

Will remind you of that jamiebhoy when we get the "Seville" stampede for final tix!
You'll no want one of course

If we do make the Europe League I think we will struggle to go far .

with all the doom and gloom about with Celtic's poor results (my mood included) this appealed to my daft sense of humour.
How fitting was it that the very first game the new female coach of Claremont played was at BREST lol

We are just waiting Tim to see how good they are in the CUPS ;-) atvb jb7

Christ . smiley face. Hats aff to lift the tone :)
