It's probably the first time in my life I have lost excitement for watching Celtic. I used to be buzzing for every game, proper up for it and confident in our ability to get results and put on a show.
After our great efforts in Europe last year I expected us to kick on and make a mark. The boards horrible decision making and lack of urgency has killed us so many times in positions of strength and I just can't be arsed with it anymore - like everyone else.
I'm not sure if the players are feeling the same way and that's what's dragging us down. They must feel utterly demoralised at the state of the club and the lack of ambition being shown. They know exactly how the fans feel and all the Ex players are saying the same thing.
Saying that they get paid obscene amounts of money to put on a show and it seems they can't be arsed either. It's embarrassing.
Calum McGregor' interview in the first Almaty game summed it up "the players are nervous". What are you talking about, what kind of captain ever says something like that? Never mind a Celtic captain. You can feel it in the way we play its consistent nerves. It sums up McGregors backwards passes, he knows he can make a 3 yard pass to the CB but always fecks up every ball he plays forward. Then to sun up Rodgers tactics. At what point is he going to realise what's being played isn't working. How long has our midfield been missing, we've failed to get results against Sevco for a while now and they're the worst they have been in years.
Terrible from the captain, players, manager, board and club.
Utter garbage from front to back and top to bottom.

Board manager coaching staff all carry blame but who identifies And buys this never ending stream off (being polite ) average to poor players.
{Ed007's Note - The general consensus over the last decade or so is that if a player has a good game it was the manager that signed him but if he misplaces a pass in the game it was Lawwell or the latest term, a "Club" signing.}

It's something that needs clarifying as if it's the same one or two people then it needs changing and if it's a different person every year then we're goosed.

Its been going on far too long. Even going back to Lennon and Deila.
For every van dijk and wanyama we have signed 5 marvin commpers and 5 kouassi eboues.
On the field this model has been holding the club back years if not decades but works for Lawwell and co. because they only need 1 decent signing in 10 to make money.
Our recruitment will only change when there is changes at the top.

We were poor. We are poor. Rogers taking the huff about Shin was a mistake. McGreggor needs replaced in the middle. We need a player who can win the ball and drive forward. All Calum is doing is pass it back then tell everyone else to pass it forward. Engels had the ball about 8 seconds. Did his usual eff all with it. he's been that bad he doesn't look like a £3m player never mind £11m. It is sad to witness the demise of a team, but that is what we have witnessed for 10 months. The league is on a knife edge. All self inflicted as usual. The issue for me, is even if the board agree to spend, I have zero belief in Rogers player picks. He keeps playing McGreggor who has been woeful. Hatate who has been woeful. I read with amusement some who talked about a good run in the EL. With our squad in the form we are in, we will be lucky to get 6 points. I had hoped form would be regained, we put some points in the bag, tool up in January and win the last two games. I wasnt even surprised last night. That sums uo where we are. I'm going outside now. I may he some time.
