    just reading over this thread, you never cursed mate, you insulted someone and verbally abused them, if we done that to other posters we would have gotten an infraction.

    i'll probably get one now, so sorry if i've just went against the rules mate, just saying.

    and on McManus, i don't think he done much wrong today, some of his tackles were pretty good, and he's captain, so he's no going to get dropped no matter what.

    Whats that, pointing out a factual trend, pointing out that O'Dea who cant even get a start for Celtic, wouldnt be near the starting 11 for Man United!! It was a ridiculous statement to make and then you changed it to "he's on par with O' Shea" which further proves that you make ridiculous statements.

    I still remember your comments about Celtic during the run in last season. Didn't you promise never to post here again if Celtic were to retain the title??

    I dont mind that you are back but you do make some really mad statements sometimes.

    Well as Ive already said, I think we have better players in the squad already without having to bring in anyone. .

    Doumbe has a better touch and more composure than Hinkel and Wilson put together.

    Crosas oozes class, is sharp, quick and can move the game forward. Hartley drifts around the back four in a ten yard radius passing to the nearest defender, turns like an aircraft carrier, has zero pace, skill or quality and plays facing his own goal.

    Caldwell has the touch of a baby elephant and thinks he's Franco Baresi when he's more like Frank Carson.

    The second goal Caldwell left a gaping hole behind, as he went out to the ball and got nowhere near it. Mick tried in desperation to fill that hole but failed to do so. Perhaps he could be faulted but for me if Caldwell had stayed instead of going after a ball that was un-winable then Mick would not have been left with a last ditch tackle.

    I agree with you about Mick´s limitations and he showed them on more than one occaision today. However for me Caldwell was more at fault today at both goals. He also missed a header in his six yard box, a few minutes after the second Well goal, if the striker had connected properly it could easily have been 4-3, just not strong enough.

    How about we have a bet, if you can prove i made that quote i'll leave this site for good, if you can't you give up your mod status, and give it to someone more deserving like ellboy or Gary B say.

    Any comments i make i stand by unless i inform you otherwise.

    We have to do some quality control on TC, we like to have people that talk sense on TC, and when they want to make some barking mad comments, they need to fully explain their comments.

    There are enough forums out there that talk the world of pish about Celtic, we're not letting TC become another one!

    True mate true. Both have many flaws, yet I think they are at times 2 great defenders. It just seems when one plays well the other does not etc, and when one plays badly they whole defence gets quashed for it.

    As for this thread, it was started about football and will continue about football - leave the immaturity to the immature.

    I personally think he is a good defender but has too much going on to focus on his game.

    Its a big ask to be 24-25 and captain your club and country. I think people forget he is still trying to develop his game with all that added pressure. I personally like the guy and his style and im 110 percent behind him.

    Celtic 4 Motherwell 2. WGS put out a winning team, at half time we were feckin' Brazil. Motherwell caught us on the hop and we will learn from that! He put out the right team and the right captain to beat Motherwell!!!

    Dempsey, you need to stop posting unless its about this threads topic, your not making any sense whatsoever.

    Im sure you will be dealt with by the grown up administrators.

    fair points matey but the highlighted bit reminded me of a certain peroxide blonde, North of Ireland international who became captain, later to become 1st team coach.

    ...Just cant mind the name :rolleyes:

    didn't you also insult several people in the Abortion thread?

    Becoming a habit for you.

    Why do you come on forums, if you think your above it? just a power thing?

    Right Ellboy, to finally get around to your question.

    McManus is the best in the air defender in the first team, balde doesnt count, he's reserve. He's a good tackler and a good leader and organises the defence well. He lacks pace and not a particularly good passer and he doesnt have the intelligence to not get caught for pace.

    He's better than Looven and O'Dea but Caldwell is his equal. What he lacks in the air he makes up for with the ball at his feet.
