Time to face facts

I think they played very well.

If Celtic had played as they did last night, we would have been over the moon today.

 

i don't get this players haven't played together pish,is it too much to expect international footballers to be able to pass a ball 5 yards to a * in the same strip as you,thats our problem,can't keep a hold of it!

 

The standard of passing last night was even worse than against Ross County ffs.

 

wow! we lost a game in europe woooo!!! so * what we lost before and we will lose again. not end of the world is it. true i thought we would have won last night but the defence * us and the strikers seem scared to shoot. all this talk we cant compete in europe get a grip eh. * that was the 1st competitive game of the season there plenty more time to go. if we go out in the cl? then we have the europa to look forward to.

 

not the fact we lost, it's how we lost

 

of course! we played that last night if we were still in freindly mode! not good.

 

Quote 1: That was a pointless thing to state.

Quote 2: Samaras IS one of the worst strikers in the EPL ever

Quote 3: It's worth playing in, IF you can compete in it. Whats the point in being in the group stages when you finish 3rd or bottom? It's a waste of time

Quote 4: Unfortunatly, thats what we have done this season.

 

how? cos its no cl? got to remember uefa and the big countries got the cl the way it is to make more money which in turn! devalued the europa tournament, diffrent story when they finish 3rd though eh it is worth playing in we havent won it and iv always liked that tournament.

 

Europa league not worth playing in? Colin Macrae were you saying that in 2003?

 

Exactly and will he still be saying it if we're all heading over to Dublin next May for the final

 

hopefully we get a good run in the europa..

 

it worries the * out of me as to what direction this club is going. i dont blame the manager it all boils down to money and its crippling our club. long gone are the days where we could spend 6 or 7 mil on a proven premiership striker. now we're relyin on spottin 'potential' and snappin them up cheap. this has been the case with most of our signings. the facts are if we get these signings wrong again like after mowbrays disaster in the market theres a huge possiblity the old firm domination could well be broken up. keane saved us last year. whos gonna do it this year??? the answer again is we're relying on potential.. ras, fortune, hooper etc none of these are proven strikers at a high level. thats just our strikers. zaluska.. is he good enough? not in same league as boruc imo. loovens? hes a poor mans mcmanus. mulgrew? never rated him. brown? im afraid son your not a celtic squad player never mind captain. hate to sound so negative but im lookin at a bleak future boruc gone, aiden and hinks to follow. prob our 3 best players. we havent improved the squad and its sad to not know when again in the future we can enjoy a trip abroad to a european game against europes top sides. we'll still follow u through thick and thin but im just gutted at the demise of our great club when our budget is bringin in sub standard players who i dont feel are big enough to wear our famous hoops

 

Tbh lads i think we are out of the CL now and for the europa league it could help lenny more to develop as a manager get a good run in it improve the team improve his management and maybe just maybe take us far we can hopefully be 1 of the big guns in it this year if we can get this team playing good football we will be feared again just keep the faith.

 

If we are it wont be to watch us mate. I'll pay for your ticket if it is.

Not a prayer of that mate. Its simple really. Buy players from the Championship and you end up at Championship standard. Ie, pish.

 

I dont think one celtic manager in history has ever progressed in europe in his first season so " chill out dude "

 

Not a prayer of that mate. Its simple really. Buy players from the Championship and you end up at Championship standard. Ie, pish.[/QUOTE]

Championship is a strong league mate most players arent celtic class but 2 players weve signed from it hooper and ledley were probs among the most promising players from it last season! so how can you judge it on that? thats like saying when we signed mcdonalld from motherwell and robson from dundee united that wer signing spl standard of players ie.. pish. give the guys a chance to prove themselfs man

 

Do the words " celtic class " make anyone else cringe or is it just me?

 

And whys that then??

 

I'll hold you to that(message saved for future reference). :icon_mrgreen:

 

Not a dig at you mate, just see it all the time on here and my pals say it ...

Just makes me think " Celtic class so wits that? a player thats good consistent and under 50k wages a week? Aye cause theyrs a shitload of them out there"
