Silver lining really, but a good one. Hertha let my acca down tonight.

Thank you Hearts!
5 points clear with a game in hand with Motherwell away tomorrow.
If we win that and its a BIG if, we are 8 points clear going into the split effectively 9 points given our goal difference.
An emphatic win tomorrow is required.

League is over, all but the shouting . It's nice to have it totally in our own hands by the split . If we win tomorrow the league will be as good as over . If we don't win tomorrow the league will nearly be over . Fair play to the "useless" R D and the team of rubbish players, despite such an aweful combination we have 5 in a row.

Paulbhoy, why all the negativity we have only lost 3 games all season yes we have drew 7 but it's hardly a disaster is it? I know the football has been poor most of the time but is it not results and trophies that matter most? .

I agree its results and trophies that matter
BUT I also agree the football IS poor. Our standards should be play great entertaining football, win the league and at least one cup and get beyond Christmas in Europe. Especially without Rangers around!
Look at the crowds at CP. Look at the crowds at the away games!
Its one dimensional football and very predictable with the odd exceptional game. We finished last in our european group.
My first Celtic game was as a kid when my Dad took me to the Dunfermline Scottish Cup Final in 1965.
I lived through the glory years and the famine.
I don't think we are in a good place and its not good to watch.

Great post Paul

Balanced and valid. The annoying thing is the standards. The lack of tangible progress as a team. Bright spots excluded such as LG and KT. Ed is also convincing however. Are our expectations still too great when you consider the financial reality? Domestic success yes. Ideally with a bit of flair and a bit to spare. Hope and expectation fills Celtic park. We had big crowds under TB. Crowds are low because many many many fans see the Celtic operation as a one way ticket to nothingness IE poor predictable one paced and low standards ( and yes we may come out victorious ) but it's a recipe for every decreasing crowds

I can just about guarantee that RD leave success and cup will have little impact ( if any ) on season book sales. The CFC recipe at the moment from top to bottom doesn't taste right and that's why ( en mass ) Celtic fans aren't consuming

I have concluded that there is no corners to turn. Our displays are not form related. We are simply a poor team ( best in the league over a marathon season ) with a poor management team and a self limiting remote executive board

Celtic do have domestic talent in abundance ( more potential than talent ) and so there's a little hope but ibrox will be bouncing next season. Hate them or loathe them, they have a feel good factor. Rate them or mock them, they are consuming the product. CFC are sleepwalking in to ever lower standards and the " investment " required by others to compete is no longer a necessary precursor to valid competition. We are inviting them towards us and not staying ahead or moving away from them and that's a worry.

The problem is that our board are downsizing the quality in the Celtic first team squad, cashing in on any playing asset and replacing them with poorer, cheaper players and they took the cheap option with a manager and proclaimed him as an innovative team builder which he clearly is not, the crowds are down because the standards and quality have dropped and it is no longer like watching Celtic more often than not, if RD is still in charge and the board continue asset stripping the team crowds will not recover even with Newco in the league, it is hard to watch .

Agree3 Disagree0

09 Apr 2016 10:25:00
That's the issue. I think the board are holding out for a response in crowd appetite with rangers back up. There will be added intensity to the immaterial matches but season book sales will founder if the status quo endures I'm sure of it. The issue with RD isn't about like or dislike it's about our en mass attitude to him wth regard to competency and his ability to motivate and inspire players so that ( despite poor standards ) they literally run through brick walls for him. I'm not so sure (a) because many players are in a deep embedded comfort zone and (b) because he doesn't even demand high standards because he wouldn't know what they look like owing to his own lack of experience and ( c ) there are no apparent disincentives for players even when they've been rank rotten for weeks IE they still get picked

I would love to see a hint of progress ( not relative to the ECL days ) but simply relative to last year but when you observe Ciftci Cole and CKR someone sonewhere thinks that these types are a good idea. Hmmmmmmm.

Grand National tomorrow I already have my 2 main bets on anti post
Kruzhlinin on at 28/ 1 and
Boston Bob on at 20/ 1
If you want to make money take my selections and go to an exchange website and LAY them lol
But my more serious advice is place each way bets with any bookie paying 6 places I am on with one so have a small VICTOR y already
Also go to the football bets page, click racing and follow ED023 or one of our very own tims ABIGHANDFORJEREMYBEADLE.

08 Apr 2016 20:33:04
Meant to say also go with bookie offering "best odds guaranteed" as with my Boston Bob bet as although I took 20/ 1 I get upped to new price of 33/ 1.

Agree0 Disagree3

08 Apr 2016 20:34:19
Am a big big punter Timbo!

Cheltenham is your meeting mate but Aintree always been mine know of conx with HOLYWELL mate my second pick would be THE DRUIDS NEPHEW but going to lump on HOLYWELL (Y)

Agree1 Disagree1

08 Apr 2016 20:45:32
I took Boston Bob on my lunch today, purely based on name! Glad to hear somebody who thinks about it is backing it. I took the best odds guaranteed too tim, pays 5 places and I even get my money back if it keels over. Good luck!

P. S, also took the jam tarts at 9/ 1 in play there just after I saw you mention they had went 0-1 up after 4 mins.

I think with all the interest in putting the boot into R D on a daily basis, not enough attention or credit has been given to our development team and their coach Tommy McIntyre who not only have won the league with seven games left, have also gone unbeaten. This is a wonderful achievement by the coach and his assistance . In addition to Mc Intyre's coaches Ronny, J C and J K as well as captain Scot Brown have all been involved which should help to make the step-up to first team squad easier.

Surely people must be getting fed up with rambling on negatively about R D . It can't be good for the health of these posters posting the same negative nonsense day after day 😄😀.

08 Apr 2016 21:50:39
Why don't you take your own advice and stop rambling on about criticising other posters and focus on the youths achievement without the added negativity.

Jim1972. I am sorry if my positive posts about the club I have supported over 50 yrs . If you can give me any good reason why we can't be positive in a Celtic forum? Maybe u can suggest a forum that accepts and respects positive Celtic post.

Agree0 Disagree1

08 Apr 2016 22:28:24
Clearly you don't get it. You had to express negativity in your own post to complain about people being negative rather than just praising the youths.

Agree1 Disagree1

08 Apr 2016 23:17:24
I think he was just stating that most don't see the good that is being done at CP. but rather focus on the negativity and then you reply in a negative way criticising him for being negative. See the irony?

Agree0 Disagree0

09 Apr 2016 03:07:31
What a way OB to sneak a wee bit in. Fair play few bites. Leave the seniors well out of it! 😆 just edit out before the first comma and after paragraph 1.
Well done to the young lads is the general consensus. Separate. Enjoy.

I fully expect Aberdeen to win tonight, but it has always been about what we do, win tomorrow and no matter what the dons do we will still be 5 points clear.

08 Apr 2016 18:50:42
Hearts are no mugs Tim, do you not think they played better than Aberdeen? Out of curiosity what's the odds on the jam tarts pumping the sheep the nite

Agree0 Disagree0

{Ed007's Note - Hearts are 12/5 to win.}

08 Apr 2016 19:00:14
You got money on that tim? I fancy hearts to get something out of it actually.

Agree0 Disagree0

08 Apr 2016 19:40:23
Hearts to win and BTTS.go on Timalloy stick on a fiver,it will get you a decent bet on the national tomorrow.

08 Apr 2016 19:53:34
Sorry Jim and Benny think Aberdeen have the bit between their teeth and can only see an Aberdeen win, hope I am wrong.

08 Apr 2016 20:01:55
Posted my reply without knowing dons score 1-0 up after 4 minutes, sadly looks like I will be proved right with the sheep winning sigh.

08 Apr 2016 20:24:49
So it goes 1 each!

I said in live chat after Dundee game the biggest turn / favour we got this season was when Jurgen Klopp recalled the lad Ward!

Agree0 Disagree0

08 Apr 2016 20:45:08
Thank god Aberdeen are pretty dire if they were only slightly better we could be looking at our biggest embarrassment in my living memory. Never realised they have dropped 14 points this season from winning positions

Hope I'm not speaking to soon with couple of minutes left. But bottle merchants doesn't come close
