Morning, there has been a delay getting this match mumble out…other things happening. But let’s share and focus on football, it’s why were are all here, hopefully…
The title of this blog are not the words of a wise old sage but words of a fan who wears his client reference like a prisoner number and has the perplexed look of a ducks ar$e after we draw 1-1 with Dundee United.
Drawing with a team whose manager is just a walking German helmet and whose best player reminds you of that famous advert when the star is asked if you get potato and leek soup from a chicken is now deemed a sackable offence. The glue must be good in that world.
Us failing to hang to a 1 goal lead changes the perceptions of the reality. The ‘we would have lost that last season’ take on the game suddenly become ‘that’s pi$h we shouldn’t be dropping points at home to mobs like that‘. What? Mobs that have got a decent handle on us in recent seasons grabbing more than their fair share of points against us?
Hard fought last minute wins – the kind that win championships – now become lucky. The defence of Rogne and Danny becomes dodgy and Ki and Ledley become bad players. More flip flopping than your average Mediterranean beach.
Goodwillie trouble us on Saturday make no doubt about that. Though created from leftover grease from a Subway deal of the day and some ready salted crisps he will trouble most defences especially ones as suspect as ours. For once the stats lie. No matter the lack of goals that are scored against us we are dodgy.
Big Danny realises this. He is of limited ability himself but has an acute sense of danger. This see’s him charging around trying to do the work of 4 men. See the cup game against St Johnstone for the perfect example. Saturday was the same.
Twice he stopped danger out on the touchline after leaving his post unmanned. It’s not his technical ability that has got him all those caps. It’s his reading of the game. That proclamation is undone when you consider the equaliser but it’s then whole package not just a loose bit of wrapping paper you have to consider.
Rogne is learning. Looking like a startled Zac Efron when faced with a decent acting role is not a reason to claim the insurance on him yet.
The midfield can get over-run. This leads to this panic in the back-line. Our manager seems to take the ‘think of the simple sub and do the complete opposite’ approach to changing his team during game play. He has grasped how to change the game when we are on top but when things are looking pear shaped he still seems lost.
Still, not a case for revisionism concerning the progress we are making or the ability level in the team.
with all that is going on with the secterian.f.a at the moment you would be better off across the water along with the scum.look at things sensibly there is a common denomenator in our defeats or dropped points this season every time he plays we play whith 10 men when he gets the ball he runs up blind alleys and gives the ball away has a shot when there is none on giving the ball away passes ball to opposition instead of one of his own players gives away stupid free kicks when we have the ball so giving ball away again. as for a one trick pony that everybody knows about.his free kicks are rubbish time he stepped aside and let someone else try a lubo or naka he aint.
Is this a guessing game? Who is the scum?
Plus it’s a toss of a coin whether you are talking about Maloney or Samaras.
update: Ahh, your talking about both.
you know who i was talking about but your deleted the names are we not allowed to name the players who are letting the club down week in week out. give lenny a break a he will get rid of the dross he’s hardly had a chance to get full squad that he wants so iff you want to slag lenny go to mordor with the scum.
I deleted fuck all. Read the blog , it’s pro Lennon, and off course you can name players. I’m glad Samaras is fucking off. He is no loss. Blog earlier this week had a go at Maloney.
Your nurse is due at 4.
Totally agree, we all have our gripes and moans when the team doesn’t do well but I hate these schizophrenic people who one week think we’re the best team in the world then the next think we’re the worst. Teams will lose games over a season, drop points, give away goals and often play crap. I think we played well on Saturday, we just didn’t put away our chances and the old defensive frailties that are there came back to haunt us.
Such sensibility will see you marked as dangerous.
Really ! are you having a laugh I mean come on give the man a chance to get a team together he is a rookie manager and in my oppinion he is doing a fantastic job yes there are little things that he needs to learn from like not picking Samaras is about the one thing and learning that if the game is not going your way dont do what O’Neil done and wait till the 80th minute to make subs! Lennon is doing a great job ! only bad results were against Hearts in my opinion the Rangers game is just a non entity because they play negative football which works for them because they have no talent in the team Lennon will get it right you can see this as he has the passion and drive to be a success at this club and make Celtic a force again!
Did you read the blog?
Utd will beat Rangers no problems, we will be top come Sunday night.
Good luck Utd
Hail Hail
Heh liammcguiness1873. Fail.
I agree that Lennon must go. He is definitely out of his league right now. He can do well with a younger team and different types of pressure but he does not have the mentality or maturity for the big job. He has really screwed up this referee situation. I feel that he is trying to be a martyr in thye eyes of the Celtic fans..just what the Celtic borad want right now because it will bring fans back to the stadium. We have to face reality and move forward, while only focusing on football at hand. We do have an abundance of top players and they must be allowed to gel….and also allowed to have a bad game here and there. They are not machines. The side show can be handled in a different way.
In amongst the many things that you say that I disagree with but how has he messed up this ref situation?
take maloney out that position and install another central midfielder that will make us much harder to beat and that still gives u stokes hooper mcginn cha and esageere going forward simples
can’t disagree with that. Esageere that’s a new one, we just call him Lizzy.
also ki
Lennon, who cheated as much as any player on either side of the divide, is offended and incensed when a ref makes the right decision but feels the need to lie about being right because he feared the usual backlash of cheating allegations. You couldn’t make it up.
Get the green tinted specs off guys. Support the team but don’t be mindless about it.
Again, when did Lennon lie and cheat?
