Chris Sutton

I didn't see Sutton and McManaman on BT Sports due to me living in the States so I don't know what they were saying exactly but from what I have read from articles I've caught the general jist of it and I think it's really pathetic if they were that overly critical of the team. The way we battled for 90+ minutes, held our own against one Europe's biggest names in football, and fought back from being behind not once but twice was an excellent feat and for it to be slaughtered is ridiculous, especially by someone who was an excellent servant for us for about 5 or 6 years. I could understand criticism if it was warranted due to us playing *, but we played out of our skin's and got a well deserved result.

Also, for McManaman to say that we should have had the mentality of winning by a 3-goal margin is beyond stupid. This was Inter Milan for * sake....not some * Scottish Championship side. He was completely delusional if he thought we should have won by that sort of margin before a ball was even kicked. Steve McManaman does commentary here in the States for football and he's honestly one of the worst pundits I've ever heard. He is pathetic.

Regarding the celebrations at the end....I think they were very much warranted and there was nothing wrong with them either. To criticise the match celebrations after scoring a great goal in the 92nd minute against Inter Milan to bring the scoreline to 3-3 is quite frankly bullshit. The team should have been * praised for tonight's efforts....not slaughtered.

 

Agree on all points.

 

Not publicly of course.

But secretly.

It shines through.

Sutton has wasted all the monetary capital he earned in his playing days.

Now he is in a hurry to waste his goodwill capital as well.

Soon he will be bankrupt in more ways than one.

 

Totally finished with Sutton. No two ways about it, the guy is a *. The whole BT panel last night were. The guy presenting saying the game lacked quality, McManaman saying we should be beating Inter comfortably, and Sutton just doing his usual whinging and moaning without having a good word to say about us.

 

Is there a process you can go through to put a complaint in to bt sports? Not just the punditry but the whole coverage in general. It was appalling.

 

Big Ronny would knock him out, *.

 

Suttons mad Ronnys making the job look easy with peanuts to spend compared to his pal Lenny.

 

Cant resist a wee dig at Lenny as usual. Why dont you just open Leeny's an * thread to vent your hatred of him.

 

At the end of the dqy i dont really care what Sutton or McManaman have to say.

As for the 'celebrating'. Well * me it must be a bad day when this becomes an issue. Jesus the difference between losing 2-3 and finishing 3-3 is obvious. We can go there and win 1-0 or 2-1 and progress. Lose 2-3 and we are alking having to win 2-0 or 3-2 just to get toE/T.

Thats a big reason to celebrate for me. They seem to forget the prize on offer for winning this trophy n'all sometimes

 

Sorry i dont know who Leeny is

 

I just think Sutton has * high standards. He did as a player, he doesn't adapt his view of what Celtic should be to what we currently are.

He's right about us defensively in Europe. 6 goals in our last 2 European games, we've not won any of those due to conceding 7. We need to tighten it up but we are on the right track!

 

Gary McAllister and they other presenter who where at CP commentating,where * drooling after the game,you could see that they loved it.
Sutton was sadly being his normal self these days,quick to put us down,out lining ronnys tactical frailties,even agreeing that this is the worst inter team in 15 years or so,that Celtic should be winning by 3/4.
Lost a lot of respect for big Chris

 

Everything about Bt was disgrace last night, Derek Rae in during the game said ' that was naughty, he's left one on him' or something like that, as if Johansen elbowed the inter player and on the replay it was nothing but a 50/50 barge. Only ours could possibly make up things that aren't even there. It's embarrassing..

Was disgusted with that channel last night, McAllister shouldn't be doing every Celtic game..

 

Mate, he is just being a *. When McManaman said we should be beating Inter Milan comfortably, I was done. The guy presenting it said the game lacked quality :smiley-laughing002:

Sutton gave us no praise whatsoever. You can't prepare for the errors Gordon made last night, and the heart we showed to get back into the game was incredible, because many teams would have packed it in. He didn't priase the football we played, which was very good to watch at times, nor did he pick up on any the snide comments made by the other two * on the panel. To begin with, I thought he was just hurting by the performances, but I think he has a problem with Deila.

 

Good retort. Respond to a typo rather than the post.

 

I don't think so mate, I think he just judges us with the same standards as when he was here. Not one player in that Seville side would have thought that was a good result last night.

He doesn't judge us on where we are just now. We need to cut out the silly errors, he said we were good enough going forward and deserved to win the game, if not for silly errors.

People get annoyed hearing stuff like that after games like that but it's bang on.

 

What was he saying last night ? Can't be arsed reading through the full thread :smiley-laughing002:

 

I can respond in anyway i like ...good retort herp de derp

 

He is just constantly negative about us. He needs to remember the team that got us to Seville was built with slightly more money than we spend nowadays. The teams Sutton played in had many an embarrassing performance on the road in Europe. I used to watch the away games hiding behind the back of the couch. We were utterly abysmal at times, and defended as bad, if not worse than we have in Europe this season, with a team that cost far more than this one to assemble. He would do well to remember that.

 

This basically. The fans deserved a show of appreciation from the players, the support when 2-0 down and making mistakes was incredible. The players also entertained for 95 minutes and got a deserved result in the end so the fans wanted to show their appreciation.

Bad craic if you don't celebrate with your fans.
