    I hate when this happens!!!

    As much as I have a lot of respect for Hartson- I absolutely hate it when an ex member of the 'Celtic TEAM' go public and have a go!!!!:31:

    Need to gag these people- think about the amount of destruction this is causing!

    Fans bickering.
    Ex players sticking their tuppins worth in
    And the press - they are laughing their c*cks off at us!!!
    You will notice that I have not mentioned the huns here- deliberate that!

    Cometh the hour cometh the man!!!!
    Were the top with PRIDE!!!

    We will be back!!!!

    In context!

    -

    To be fair if the praise was due then yes- but what is going on the now just really has me motivated to try and turn the negs into a 'positvie passion'.

    Maybe it's the 'rebel' in me!!!:56:

    Hartson CARES about the club, you can hear it in his voice. He was only asked an opinion it`s a Democracy after all - He`s Correct were NOT good enough and NOT guaranteed to beat anyone just now... where is the Doctor now with his wee digs at the Huns. - thanks to his bullshit and tight fisted NO VISION board were now a laughing stock.

    shocker of a comment :38: are you the only person in the world who can't see we're losing goals at an alarming rate?? John hasn't stated anything that isn't obvious. I see not one thing that "smacks of arrogance" just someone with a love for the club and the game who knows more than you'll ever wish to know about playing football.

    Big Bad John is only reiterating what I and many others on this forum and other Celtic messageboards have been saying for months now that we are regressing under Mowbray at a rapid rate of knots. It is when you really care for your club that you want to articulate your feelings and emotions as to how you see the state of affairs.

    Quite frankly I have never felt so down and low about Celtic than I do today.
    Not since the bad old days under TB, when Walter Smith ( What a curse that man is to us ) had the indian sign over us, and their nine in a row.

    When the patient is dying on the operating table it is no use sticking plasters on him.

    It needs major and radical surgery to save his life. We are dying under Mowbray, and if we don't do something about it, it will be a slow, lingering death.

    You'll have to explain that to those not on your punctuation wavelength. Do you mean,

    "Not surprised,

    Signed,

    Another Thicko"

    or that you have failed to surprise another thicko?

    what age is this guy and what type of movies has he been watching????

    would you rther he was more like that * hateley whom's views we only get to hear are when rangers are doing well???

    BBJ is asked questions as he is a paid football pundit. he gives HONEST answers which is what i want to hear.

    someone else mentioned it earlier about the cringeworty celtic tv panels which gave us the worst interviews i've ever seen.

    if we're bad i don't wanna be patronised by ex-celts, i want the * truth otherwise their opinions are of no use.

    Here Here Conorbhoy - some of our Deluded fans dont want to know the truth !!!

    Hartson would NEVER let anyone push him about and He Cares that much you can hear it in his voice..if only there were people on the Board like him and not those dobbers REID LIARWELL and LORD LUCAN DESMOND.

    I've always thought that John Hartson was a grand pundit. Mainly because he never B.S'd anyone on any point, always honest and very rarely biased against any decisions/teams etc.

    i feel colin hendry also fits in to that category.

    pundits i feel fall into the opposite category are:

    scott booth (the guy just has to be controversial against the old firm)

    burley (never had anything good to say, even during the golden era of martin o'neill)

    mark hateley (only hear from that * when rangers are going well)

    rebel???

    The 'rebels' stood outside Celtic park and protested about how thier club was not run,not blindly sticking thier heads in the sand thinking everything is tickityboo, that is rebel to me, when you see bad things happening you have got to speak up in life not turn away.

    He's right, it probably is too late and we have been leaking goals.

    But I'd put most of this down to inconsistency rather than anything else. Inconsistency in team selection, which leads to inconsistency on the park.

    This is especially evident in the defence, were we've made a lot of changes through buying and selling and a lot of injury problems. Up front had similar problems, although we seem to be doing better having settled with a Fortune/Keane pairing. Comapre that with the midfield, where we have been pretty consistent, and which has done best out of the three areas.

    Mowbray has to keep a consistent side for the remainder of the season to get them game time together. The more game time they have together, the better they will play. It's the reason the Hun has gotten by under Smith.

    i actually feel the centre of the midfield has been pretty bad. n'guemo has not impressed me as much as he has others.

    i feel the wings is where we have got most of our success this season.

    hartson is only saying what everyone is thinking he only played for us so he will say it the way he see's it he doesn't need to back the team as a supporter that is probably why he is talking about us this season because we probably look a mess from the outside

    Im with Patto on this one and wholly agree that Caldwell should have been given a new contract ,surely the club and he could have sorted the gulf in what he wanted and what they thought he was worth.To me I feel because some of the fans were giving him stick and forgetting what he had done in the past the club and Mowbray thought it " fashionable" to sell him.I had faith in him when he was getting dogs abuse two seasons ago and knew he would come back strong as he proved in the next season.Ok he had a poor start this season but even when he knew he was on the way out he still gave his best .* could we do with him now!!!!
