    Judging the manager or even any of the players based on the St Mirren game is nonsense.

    The only thing that should be judged based on Sunday is that awfull * strip that should never be seen again

    Ange is at the toast rack at Circular Quay. I think that's the Oyster Bar down below.

    Fun part of Sydney.

    Agree with most of your post here, definitely a massive overreaction from many in our support.

    Just one small point to clarify though. Ange never actually admitted he made mistakes in team selection.

    He was asked in the post presser about this, but he said (and I’m paraphrasing here) “Well IF there were, then that’s on me as the manager.”

    He also mentioned there weren’t any “Standout performers, as a collective we just weren’t at the level we needed be.”

    In other words, the team he picked didn’t perform as collective. There were no standout shocking performances from individuals picked, it was a collective underperformance.

    Now some may have interpreted this as an admission that he got it wrong, but he never actually definitively said so.

    To me this is just what all good managers do, they are willing to take the flak for a bad game. Rather than come out in the media making excuses or publicly criticising their players.

    He also mentioned there “could be a 1000 reasons but ultimately we didn’t perform to the levels we have been.”

    And if you watched that match you’d know he’s speaking the truth. Nobody stood out individually as being particularly worse than anyone else. The entire team were rubbish - I can’t really think of a single player that looked good out there.

    Beat off St Mirren and he’s * off home with his tail between his legs.

    What a job wee Gio is doing.

    I reckon we will se Abildgard get a run of games after the international break... at centre back.

    Running off to Australia to do the rounds on its sport media obviously just adds to the rumour mill. If you want to quash a rumour, you don't engage in endless rounds of interviews where speculation about your future is inevitably going to come up. Maybe I'm just being negative but I don't think he'll be here at the end of the season.

    We'll see what happens. Fingers crossed I'm reading too much into it.

    Here comes theee hypothetical question of the day....

    If Leicester sacked Rodgers and Ange left for them (I don’t think it will happen for what it’s worth)...

    Would you take Rodgers back?

    Yes but he'll never do that, he'll head off to another mid-table Premiership club, so it's all moot.

    Im guessing your not serious,but so you understand(if your serious)we are on an international break and will be playing in oz int the future.
    Ange is gone home(possible to promote the competition) and of course the media will want to interview him about his time at celtic and because of his success questions about other clubs sniffing around are inevitable.

    He hasnt run off anywhere

    I'd take him back... out the back for a good old fashioned kneecapping!

    That's how you deal with the treacherous ones.

    Too much? :84:

    If I owned a tanning salon near Parkhead, I'd take him back in a heartbeat.
    I could probably retire in 3 months.
    But other than that he can * off

    I take it the players get time off if they're no playing internationals or do they just train with the b team or whatever ?
