After watching Northern Ireland's match against Poland, I'm glad we didn't go for Michael O'Neill as our manager.
I would hate to see Celtic adopting those negative tactics. I understand that he doesn't have great players to work with but you still have to try and score a goal at some time in a match.
If they don't try and be a bit more positive, then I can't see them scoring a goal in the whole competition.

M O 'N brought defensive football to a new level. He seemed to be content with only Lafferty up field and everyone else either covering ex Celt Mc Govern or covering the defenders.

So why would we want will grigg when he can't even get a starting spot over that big clown lafferty?

{Ed007's Note - Haven't you heard the song?}

Ed the song is pretty catchy but the green brigade didn't make it up so it won't get sung 😉.

{Ed007's Note - Fingers crossed that the GB won't be needing any songs about him.}

Agreed Ed there is far better out there than grigg what do you think of Norwood.

{Ed007's Note - I've never been impressed by Norwood and would rather have Brown, Bitton, Johansen or McGregor than him in the team and I'd prefer seeing Armstrong get a run in the middle than waste money on another average midfielder. We've still got Kristofer Ajer still to come in, Henderson returning from Hibs and Mark Hill who I hope will make the step up to the first team squad next season so we're not short of numbers. Oh and Scott Allan.
Bitton and Johansen could be possible exits this summer and I'm looking for a bit ambition from the board than Norwood.}

Was thinking the same thing and oh aye defences are terrified when grigg sitting in the bench. Boys meant to be a goalscorer and that big plonker starts before him.

{Ed007's Note - I still can't believe there were people wanting Michael O'Neill to replace RD!}

There is only one player in the six counties team that is anywhere near Celtic standard and that is S Davis, who has written in his will that he wants his ashes spread at the sports direct stadium, so we won't be signing him (thank god) the rest are pish.

12 Jun 2016 20:12:28
I agree Ed we have better all ready.

12 Jun 2016 20:25:26
Ed the ones wanting him to replace RD will be the ones wanting Allan to get a run in the team, thinking cause the zombies wanted him he must be decent.

Ai think if we sign a midfielder he needs to be one hell of a midfielder . We have loads of fairly good midfielders at Celtic including Ajer . I am confident that B Rodgers will be able to field a very good midfield and also have alternatives.

Just read an article by Noel Hunt absolutely raving about BR about his man management skills his training and he was an absolute gentleman to boot.

12 Jun 2016 11:56:07
Desparately trying to talk himself into a move perhaps?

12 Jun 2016 12:11:46
Nah he's about finished he's doing his badges was saying when he was injured during his time at reading BR used to send him to watch games and how he got him to learn tactical side of game.

12 Jun 2016 14:45:27
Quite a smart idea. He may do the same with Brown as he's quite keen on doing his badges and helps out with the youth teams a lot.

Kevbhoy I am sure Brendan Rodgers has some good ideas, not just good dental hygiene but also ways of encouraging the best out of his players .
He seems to know how to sell season tickets as well . Without been seen to do anything himself, he has now sold the most season tickets in any one year in his career so far .

12 Jun 2016 18:28:57
The season books are all sold out because he's the highest profile manager we could have hoped for and the club have showed some real ambition in bringing him in.

Ed, seen Valdes has been released by Man United. Ball playing GK with a better presence than our current. What's the chances if any?
