Dn30 come on mate! No other manager could come in and organise the team and stop the utter shambles which is our defence! Do u seriously believe that! Yes we all know the quality ain't there but I'm talking about basic defending and tactics! Which RD to me hadn't clue about! Every half decent team that comes up against us must be rubbing there hands when they see the way we set up! I've got a question for u mate. did Ronnie not say after Legia we will learn from our mistakes? Same after Maribor and Malmo! Yet here we are after another shambles of a performance with nothing learned at all! His words, not anybody else! He says we've got better and we'll learn from the mistakes! Total garbage!

DN maybe u should pull your head out the sand. That's Legia, Maribo, Malmo, and now Molde we have been embarrassed by. Giants of Europe lol.
Not so long ago you were on here berating Lennon for poor results in the CL ffs.
RD does not learn he constantly plays a system that exposes our centre halfs in Europe, even away from home he does it because " we want to play attacking football" how naïve is he.
Even against a counter attacking team he daft enough to have a go and leave us exposed. Time and time again he does it.
Don't give me the " he has not been backed stuff". Yea he would need better backing for CL but not to beat Molde and the others I mentioned.
Tell you what not many managers survive an embarrassing result or 2. He has had 4.

DN30 I would have thought you would be all in favour of the current board, after all they appointed Delia.

DN30 wake up man. We are getting mugged by European also rans. We can't even beat the monies so font hide behind the not backed ticket. He has signed 17 players. our players are better players than they have. RD and Collins said so before the game. Better players worse result. What is the issue its tactics and therefore the manager.

I know all too well the shackles and handicaps Celtic are restrained by under Desmond and Lawell who clearly do not have the same love and true feeling for Celtic as the rest of us, as they feed of the club like parasites.
However, their main sins against Celtic are creaming off our best players to sell for profit and not reinvesting sufficiently in the squad and trusting the team affairs to cheap yes- men who have got us in this situation.

I agree Johnny I am all for a clear out at the club from top to almost bottom. By that I mean from major share holders chief execs coaching staff sub standard players and failing scouts. But I don't believe rd is exempt from criticism. His formation and tactics are so predictable and he has no plan b. The club is moving backwards rapidly and he is part of a group of people who are watching it happen. But I also don't want the guy made a scapegoat for top level Failings.

It is nothing new for Celtic to be mugged by the also rans of Europe, for nearly 30 years we didn't have European Football post Christmas . We cannot let that happen again, but quick turn rounds of the manager is not the answer . If we sack Deila before the end of year, I am sure with the type of manager we are likely to attract will have the same problems next year, we may do a little better, or a little worse.

I don'nt get all this critiscm of Lawwell and the board etc, forget all this stuff about the players being healthier and fitter (of course that is a good thing), the reason that the team has'nt been performing is due to Ronnies team selection, team formation, team tactics, substitutes or lack of them, the players that are at Celtic are good enough to be doing a lot better, Ronnies got their head in a daze, he's been over complicating the simple things and over simplifying the difficult things, they don't know if they're coming or going, footballs a simple game keep it that way.

RD has not been tested in the same way domestically as any other previous manager in our entire history, so he cannot be compared to any previous manager.

HOWEVER, not even getting past the qualifying rounds to get into the CL is not acceptable given the relative resources of the clubs that have managed to knock us out with absolute ease.

From the players right up to the board and the TV companies that run the sport, we can attribute an element of blame. But ultimately, the manager has more than enough at his disposal to be doing much much better. He clearly can't control his players, he clearly has poor judement in picking the right players and worst of all, he never learns from his mistakes.

I feel sorry for him as he was put in place by a board who either couldn't attract a a more experienced manager or who simply wanted to save a few pound. But he can't continue to embarrass our great club like this. He has lost us £25million so far. Can we afford to lose another 10-15million or have some of our fans now resorted to accepting we can't qualify for the CL? Is that where we are now? No faith, just acceptance of continually losing money whilst deluding ourselves we are balancing the books withthe sale of our best players? Is this as good as it gets?

I say they change the signing policy. Guys like VD should not be allowed anywhere near the team. They are merceneries who create instability and undermine our club by heading off to some minow in England for more money. Celtic need to build a team that is made of players who play for what the club is about. that's why its rotten. The soul is ripped out of the team by people like VD, Hooper, Wanyama buggering off for more cash as if the greedy cunts don't get enough. don't give me that shite they need a bigger challenge. Bollocks! If all of these players had stayed, how strong would that team be now and just how much better would we be doing in the CL? But VD, VW, etc etc don't care. The board don't care and quite frankly I wonder why I work my ass of for a relative pittance to invest my time money and energey in a club that endorses this pish makes me fucking sick.

Well, KBB, you didn't mince your words and I fully understand your frustrations. You are spot on about the big stars either using us as a stepping stone to EPL or getting some last minute glory and cash in the twilight of their careers. "I've always been a big fan of Celtic and this is a great chance for me to play for my boyhood heroes. " If he was such a big fan, why did he not play for us when he was at his prime? Money and bigger clubs, that's why. I will even piss off some people by putting king Kenny in that group. He is not a Celtic man, he is a Liverpool man. Big Jock tried to talk him out of signing at the very last turn and he turned him down to sign for Liverpool. (His success at Liverpool was good but imo I could have won trophies with the bqackroom, youth programme and system he inherited. When that dried up he was out) and Only came back because no one else would take him and give him the money to buy the league (AKA Blackburn) and even then, it was Barnes who was thrust into the arena. When that failed and JB was humped KK did nothing to make us better.
Keane and all the others, same pitch about boyhood heroes but first chance to dump us and move for more cash. like rats up a sewer.
Club and policy need ripping up from top down. We are continually treating symptoms and not taking action on the disease.
