Chris Sutton

He's said a couple of silly things but I don't think he should be branded a * like many have called him on here.

If he turns out to be anything like Burley then it will be justified.

 

It shows how bad it is when huns like Billy Dodds agree.....

"I WATCHED the Celtic versus Inter match on TV and I thought Chris Sutton and Steve McManaman were so harsh afterwards that it was unbelievable.

It was as if the Parkhead club shouldn't be celebrating their late equaliser because they should be beating teams like Inter. Okay, so Roberto Mancini's side aren't doing that well in Serie A but what a statement that is to make.

Celtic were just unfortunate that Craig Gordon had one of his worst games since his time at Hearts. Or maybe his entire life. I couldn't believe what I was seeing from Craig, I just didn't think he had that in his locker. He is at an age when he shouldn't be affected by a mistake like the one which led to Rodrigo Palacio's second of the night, but he will still need all his experience to get through it.

There were plenty of mistakes on Thursday night, but it made for a great game. Celtic showed some bottle to come back and it proves that the spirit is there. Ronny Deila was ramping up the fans as usual afterwards - he has been doing it against provincial teams like ourselves at Ross County - and he is quite right to get caught up. Having being two down after 13 minutes, Celtic showed great nerve to fight back for a draw.

Inter might not be the team they once were but you can get carried away by thinking they are there for the taking. They scored three at Parkhead and there are not many teams who do that. I agree they didn't conform to the usual Italian stereotype defensively, but I still think it would be in Celtic's best interests to do what most teams to do to them domestically. That is go and sit in against them.

Ronny Deila loves to press the game, and is huge on sports science, but I think Thursday night will be an occasion to alter his plans. Inter have got dangerous players and I wouldn't be playing open football against them, letting guys like [Rodrgio] Palacio and [Xherdan] Shaqiri get the chances that come their way. Celtic need to sit deep, deny their flair players space, and see what stage that takes them to in the game. If Deila does press the game, you can see Inter passing the ball around them. There is not really an onus on them to do that away from home.

Stuart Armstrong and Gary Mackay Steven have really fitted in and I was surprised and delighted to see them playing on this stage. Not because I felt they weren't ready. Just because I know the club. Ronny Deila threw them in straight away against Partick, but their performance levels really were excellent on Thursday night. We have some talent here in Scotland, of that there is no doubt.

Both have been involved in Scotland squads under Gordon Strachan in the past and it goes without saying they will come into the reckoning for the matches with Northern Ireland and Gibraltar at the end of the month. The fact they haven't really made their mark yet just shows that it is hard to get in the international squad again but as usually happens when you go to a bigger club, there is a realisation you are ready for international level. We can't afford to leave that kind of quality out.

I think Ronny will go with the same team again and while Inter Milan are not quite what they once were, Celtic will need an absolutely enormous performance to go through. I can't help feeling they will be unlucky losers."

 

^Exactly everyone can see it apart from our own, because they are blinkered because of his achievements as a player.

Glad you didn't take time out by the way.

 

Not that I've ever seen.

You're right, it is against Deila more so. But, as every game passes, Deila becomes more and more apart of this club. The fans have pretty much all be turned on to him. The players are motivated and performing better than we've ever seen these players. The performances are great and the results are matching that.
Sutton keeps this up and he will find himself forever on the sidelines with regards this club. He needs to bury what ever childish grudge he has and start to support the club/manager and fans.

If it isn't a grudge and is all media * sucking for a pay cheque, then he's sold out and his voice is worth * regardless.

 

The title of this thread is below the belt

 

Did Sutton leave on unfavorable terms with Celtic or what ?

 

Lawwell wanted him off the books and told the manager not to play him, he was dropped from the squad and left out the backdoor without saying goodbye, so in a way, yes

 

Sutton didn't like WGS probably thought he could do a better a job.

 

Fair and balanced analysis by Billy Dodds there. See Sutton it's no that hard.

 

Arseholes are usually below the belt unless you talk out of it, like you!:bbpd:

 

Yes i'm a * for not calling an ex player a *

 

Wish Sutton was as honest as you.

 

Call him a * then yea *







Being serious Sutton is a * but it's just how he is some people are like that and it's needed we should never settle and always look to improve but the comments about celebrating are ridiculous

 

Final warning!

There has already been one warning to cut out the personal stuff. There won't be a third. Warnings or bans will be issued if it doesn't stop. Debate the subject and cut out the personal insults.

 

Would be good if Sutton's moderators could issue warnings like this when he spouts his personal attacks on Deila.

 

*.

 

As is Sutton's shameful negativity towards the team he supposedly "supports".

 

Even if there was a mod for Sutton I doubt they'd say anything to him since his comments don't refer to various unmentionable body parts.

 

Sutton said himself that he couldn't work for WGS as he was insisting on two training stints a day . This created difficulty for Sutton . I think Sutton thought he should be bringing his children home from school as well as having most of the afternoon in the bookies . ( maybe if Sutton had stayed at Celtic he wouldn't have become bankrupt ). I am sure Ronny and the Celtic fans are worried about the views of a bankrupt ex multi millionaire and failed football manager .
