Moaning.....Unnecessary or Justified???

I was there too. I was only 10 right enough....I was there with my dad. I had set the VHS on timer to record the game in the house. It was going to be our first trophy in 6 years. I remember Andy Walker scored with like 5 minutes to go and everyone everywhere around me was going mental....that was going to be the end of the trophy drought. Then they equalised. And beat us on penalties. That was the norm in those days....us failing all the time....you got used to being pish.

There's also footage of me on Sportscene somewhere when I was a boy, at old Parkhead kicking a can about behind the goals with some other kid. It was at half time and we were getting beat 0-3 off Motherwell. The camera zoomed right in on us kicking about this can...bored out our * and used to defeat in those days. That was the times.............the bad bad old times

 

When you weigh it up there's deffo an unconscious selfishness about our support that deffo wasn't there..

Who cares

Cheers for bringing that game up.. I was there too very back row of the club deck, made it even more surreal as it felt like we weren't actually there(pish view) * were unscrewing the Huns wee name plaques off their seats. Squinty has done this now in any case..

Remember afterwards walking past the main entrance and wee Brian McLaughlin was standing outside and I said you must be pish if you cannae get in that side wee man. (Might have been injured lol)

Don't ever remember losing 3-0 to Motherwell at Celtic Park but I do remember losing 3-0 to St.Mirren.

Doesn't necessarily mean we're spoiled though, most people just want to see a fair level of investment.

Aren't folk already saying this ? Hence the thread.

 

We may moan but its to keep moving forward. Even the worlds best teams can become complacent and mess up. Lets keep improving and strive forward.

 

The moaning is part of football for people and its what makes it great and the forum is all about opinions, now we wont all agree but if you look at the reasons behind it then make your own mind up;

Unnceccessary

Invinvicible 6 in a row and treble campaign in 2016/17.
Sold out Season tickets for first time in over a decade and waiting list is now in place again!
Qualified for UCL 8-4 on aggregate.
Last 32 EL.
League Cup in bag.
11 points clear in SPFL.
Scottish cup 5th Round.
Best manager in last decade.
Group Turnover £90.6m last year.
Group Turnover to exceed that this year.
New Hotel and Musuem on the way.
£2m Desso Pitch on way.
£24m cash at bank on 30/06/2017 with a significant increase due in interim accounts next month.


Justified

Team has dropped a lot of points at home this season and dont seem to be comfortable playing at CP.
We have signed a 32 year old CB for £900k and looks like a CB from Dundee coming in when we all admited we needed a quality CB and it looks like it wont happen in our opinion
Team needs a few signings and except from the 18 month loan for Charly it looks like it wont be this window.
We have the aforementioned £24m sitting in the bank doing nothing for us in terms of squad enhancement
We have not built on a position of strength whenever we have been on top previously.
Investment in player personell isnt at the level fans would have hoped and performances have dropped as players have became comfortable some times like watching paint dry this season.
Moussa incident handle terribly.
Manager seems to be agitated therefore fans are seeing that and becoming like that themselves.

 

Great post!

 

Constructive criticism is justified.

Moaning and whinging like a * * and losing your head because we haven't bought 18 players in the January window is not just unjustified, it's spoiled as *. This isn't Football Manager or FIFA kids. I keep having to remind myself we now have a generation raised on MON's team.

 

Who really haven’t known tough times when buying players from spl clubs was the norm with the odd foreigner flung in!

 

Weaker in that we've had key players injured? We haven't sold anyone we don't want to and we've strengthened in both transfer windows, with the likes of Ntcham and Musonda coming in.

You're talking nonsense regarding us not hunting for CL level players. I'd like to point out Forster, VVD, Wanyama, Hooper, Ntcham, Roberts, Musonda, Dembele.

We can't sign elite players, everyone knows that, but we have done a good job of sourcing diamonds in the rough, so to speak. Inevitably there are duds that don't cut the mustard, but I think the accusation that the club are fleecing our fans is nonsense.

 

That's my point mate. Someone that's 18 now and going watch the Celtic would have been born in 2000. So apart from the disastrous Tony Mowbray season...they'd have known but winning and trophies.

Early to mid 90s were truly awful. The old board's answer to oldco rangers dominance was to re-sign players that were successful for us in the past. They thought bringing back Charlie Nicholas, McAvennie and Andy Walker would bring back the good times. Well they were all pish when they came back. Remember folk were touting Brian McLachlan as the new Jinky......oaft.

Wayne Biggins got booed onto the pitch by our own fans when he made his debut as a substitute. We knew the signings were awful....Cascarino, Lee Martin..Gary Gillespie, Stuart Slater, Rudi Vata, oaft

 

Every club is guilty of not building from a position of strength - hence why so few clubs go on to win 3+ titles in a row. The problem is it’s very difficult to build from a position of strength. In fact, it is very difficult to just maintain a position of strength.

We’re indentifying the right players and carefully adding to the squad. In the last year we’ve added Kouassi, Ntcham, Roberts, Musonda and Compper to a team that was invincible (minus Roberts obv.) but because we haven’t identified ANOTHER CB we are not building, apparently.

I can’t be arsed reading back so I apologise if I’m wrong, but did I read someone say that if the Hun closes the gap to 4 points and we lose at the * pit then we’ll all change our tune?

Come on to * man. What kind of * thinking is that? We should be panic spending another £10m so a bankrupt mess with a youth coach as their manager don’t catch us? If they catch this team from this position then £100m wouldn’t have saved us ffs.

 

At least the Seville generation would have an excuse what with only ever really knowing success. Anyone over 40 who moans about these times needs their head checked

 

Yes a superb post indeed
