Apathy for this team

What you are describing is not uncommon. When the team you support is really up against it, or being beaten by it's most hated rival, then it's natural to feel defensive of the team you love and rally to the cause.

The Neil Lennon speech in 2011 was one of my proudest moments as a Celtic fan. The fact that we had just lost the league moments earlier didn't matter a jot.

I'm not gonna lie, this carry on with the living wage really bothers me. I think the board's stance on that issue is disgusting. It's a sad day when Hearts are showing you up and on that particular issue they most certainly are.

 

With regards the section I bolded, I think in the past we always felt, no matter how things had gone up to then, there was always a really good chance we would score late on, so the fans could get excited. I no longer feel that's the case. Nowadays I feel if we haven't scored in the first 80 minutes we aren't going to. I used to always think "ah there's 10 minutes to go, plenty time to get a winner" now when it gets to that stage in a game I just know we could play all day and still never score. It's hard to get excited when you know it won't change anything on the park for this lot.

 

We have a board that comes out with pish like the agm on Friday, a board that hires rookies who has us playing some of the worst football a have witnessed from any celtic team.

A board which has significantly lined there pockets for years while not spending at crucial times which ultimately has cost us cups and titles and champions league windfalls!


We have took a step backwards about 20 year with this mob at the helm it's totally scandalous and the funny thing is the majority on here accept it, any idiot that thinks were heading in the right direction is clearly blind or just plain stupid, the football on show is brutal in the European games we have showed no fight or a real lack of urgency, we look * when we go 1 down, not the celtic way!

Scouting needs adressed as well millions wasted on * through the last 15 years.

Nice post by the op

 

We were not competing on an even playing field in the 90's. Part of the reason we looked bad was we were being cheated.

Who is cheating us now?

 

There is something fundamentally rotten at celtic at the minute and every time one of the * on the board open their mouths it ain't hard to see where the problem lies
.we are being sold cheap * at every level players ,managers merchandising because we don't get the same tv money as the Epl but we still have to pay top dollar for it because we are a global club, if I wanted to watch youth or development football I'd go watch the reserves .
the current board must be putting jocks words to the test to try and find shrinking celtic shirts

nobody likes to be ripped off and sometimes it's hard to admit that you are being ripped off especially when it's something with an emotional attachment but that's exactly what is happening
I'm still in the anger phase if something doesnt change soon I could well find myself in apathy

 

Yesterday had 0-0 written all over it after 10 min the team are just too predictable at the moment Rogic who has looked good in the last few games looked knackered and most times the substitutions are like for like so nothing changes. The teams we are playing are nothing special and if the set up to defend we find it hard to break them down. It is hard to get excited about but still go to the games in hope of a better show

 

Rogic has to be rested after international fortnight.

He has been poor after every break, the travel obviously takes a lot out of him.

 

There is a difference between what happened in the 90s and what is happening now. Back then the fans were United under a single cause. Now the support is fragmented and the board see this and actively attempt to cause a further division by rooting out sections they don't like.

That is where the apathy comes in. From the manager to the players to the board to divisions between fans it's all happening at the same time over the last 5 years. It's completely ripping the soul out of the fans. I'll never stop supporting Celtic but I can certainly feel the apathetic atmosphere in the stadium.

I also agree entirely about how if we haven't scored by 70-80 mins we won't, in fact I feel we are more likely to concede than grab a last minute goal. The mentality isn't there anymore.

 

I think that Rogic has some qualities but overall I rate him as a poor player. He might improve and I wouldnt give up on him but he shouldnt be in our first 11. Not good enough.

 

I've only been supporting for 15 or so years, but the main thing for me is not being able to relate too many players as some have said. I don't think i need to explain why there was a great bond between the fans and certain players such as Larsson and Lennon, but you even felt players like Wanyama, Hooper and Ledley etc. in recent times were easily relatable. Players that made you want to go games as well as the fact you were lucky enough to be going to watch Celtic week in week out.

Within this team though, i feel as if i can only relate to Brown, Lustig, and at a push, Commons.

 

Its rather sad that celtic fans in part are unhappy about how we are or what is going on with our club because msm and the dead club will be loving it.

Guess some really do care about that lot despite their boasts other wise.

 

Yes I base my opinions on the MSM and sevco supporters, cop yourself on. The fact that sevco supporters are unanimous in their desire to see him stay tells ye something doesn't it?

Why would they want him to stay? Honestly why would they? We both know the answer to that.

 

Exactly mate, how can Ronny not see it?

 

They aren't even in the same league as us.

You are a pure rid neck.

Trawling hun forums for bad news stories about your own club, what a * brass neck, you need to have a word with yourself.

 

You're the one who keeps saying you can think for yourself.

Half the * you come away with slating the management
board, players, club probably originates from there.

They're just deflecting & denying their own problems, & you're buying into it for them.

Ask them if they're still enjoying the journey, ask them if
everything is rosy over there, ask them if they know that hector
is still coming for them, then ask them if they would swop how
their * stained little new club is run for the way our club is run.
The thick * would probably say no.

They are unanimously inbred thick * who can't see the woods
for the trees, but carry on worrying about them & bringing
their thoughts of wisdom about our club & how it's run
on here for the craic.

 

I wasn't "around" in the 90's, so this is probably the worst I've seen Celtic play(Since Mowbray).

Actually quite interesting. O'Neill had a win % of 75 during a period of about 5 years as our manager. That's pretty impressive.

 

It's bluff ya clown. I for one am not happy with Ronny at all just now but if you believe that he wouldn't run ring's around the toast man and that shower of * (they don't), then you are easily more delusional than most of them..

 

Have a few twenty beers, you will be surprised how quickly the apathy disappears. :icon_mrgreen:

It might not be for everybody but it works for me.

 

Probably doesn't work as well as I think but it works as well I think right now.
