Cracker from the worse player I've ever seen play for us! Or as some people call him efe ambrose! It wasn't a mistake against fenerbache,it was a mis communication between me and the goalie!! Aye it was the goalies fault u can't head a simple ball back to him! This guy makes my blood boil by the way! I really fear this clown will be near our team again! If he is I will not watch! Had enough of watchn and listening to this guy!!

Haha. Haven't seen the quotes but my view was he headed into the ground in front of an on running opposing player. Perhaps the miscommunication came when CG told him to either get rid or nod it back to him. The guy just looks stupid. That big grin across his face when he cocks up!

Does he pick himself dh? Give it a rest a support the team for a change

Agree3 Disagree3

15 Oct 2015 21:12:11
Support the team for a change!! Aye nae bother pal! Al never give it a rest when it comes to that clown playing for my club! Getting sent off or giving goals away every time he steps on the park! So how about u get your head out the sand and stop defending a clown that embarrasses the club every time he puts on the shirt! And yes rd picks him! And he's partly to blame! But that doesn't exuse him from being the worse defender I've ever seen at the club!

Agree2 Disagree1

15 Oct 2015 21:14:03
You're lucky you didn't have to watch Lex Baillie, Martin Hayes or Carl Mugleton! Ambrose was to blame, to be fair though Craig Gordon is terrified to come for a cross/leave his box, when he does - Inter/Ross County he makes a t1t of himself!

We have had numerous posts ridiculing Ambrose , it seems some people thinks he purposely makes mistakes. Maybe some even thinks Deila picks Efe just to annoy them. At the end of the day we all belong to the Celtic family and should support each other. The main stream Scottish media will always find enough fault and ridicule our players manager and board , in fact the whole club , we the fans don't need to help them.

So if RD picks him do you want him to say he doesn't want to play? He's probably a nervous wreck because of 'fans' like you.

Agree0 Disagree0

16 Oct 2015 13:03:12
Does he read these pages HenriksTongue? If the pressure of fans gets to him then that says a lot.

Agree0 Disagree0

16 Oct 2015 14:40:37
Pal stop embarrassing urself anymore than u have eh! I was going to put your name down but I wouldn't even mention an icon like the king of kings in a post to u! So it's the fans fault he's an utter shambles of a defender! It's the fans that made him make a mess of a simple header against fenerbache or it's the fans fault the Malmo player walked through him like he wasn't there in the build up to there 2nd goal in paradise or it was the fans fault he got sent off 2 games in a row at the start of RD tenure!! One of them being a FRIENDLY!!!! Do u actually believe the shite u post? He's a nervous wreck because he's a terrible footballer! Nothing to do with the fans!! In fact I think he's actually got off lightly from the fans!! How many chances has this clown been given after countless f**k ups!! The fans fault! Dear oh dear!

Agree1 Disagree0

16 Oct 2015 15:30:33
I never it was the fans fault but when he comes on the pitch and guys like you are giving him abuse before he even touches the ball then it's going to have an adverse affect don't you think? He's right in Craig Gordon has to take his share of the blame. Maybe another reason why our centre backs have been dodgy of late is because of the guy playing behind them. Look I'm not saying he's good enough to be in our team, he's not, but while RD is picking him I'm not going to get on his back because it does us no favours at all. Every player makes mistakes but some players seem to get away with it

Agree0 Disagree0

16 Oct 2015 17:35:02
So it's Craig Gordon's fault ambrose is pish! And I'm assuming it was big forsters fault before Gordon came in and he was making a mess of defending! And u say your not saying it's the fans fault but then u say me and guys like me are to blame! Scooby doo is less confused than u pal! It's so called fans like u who settles for mediocrity that allows Lawell and the rest to bring these sub standard clowns to be brought in without question! I will not support a guy like that just because he's in a Celtic top! He's had chance after chance mistake after mistake and Enoughs enough! He's a guaranteed mistake in every big game he plays in! Pittodrie scores at 1 each and he comes on end up beat 2-1! Malmo 3-1 up and he comes on and they get a 2nd away goal,giving them huge confidence for the return leg! Fenerbache 2 nil up and cruising and he steps up to gift them a goal and tops it off by standing like a statue for there equaliser!! Would u like me to continue?? Guys not fit to wear the jersey!

I think he might be the worst defender I've personally seen in the hoops dh. Henrik you admit he's not good enough (I know you're not daft) so does he fill you with confidence? I don't hear people getting on his back before he's made a mistake - when his name gets read out there's a 'mexican groan' around the ground though lol - but honestly the guy has made more balls ups after cock ups, more costly ones too, than anybody. Gordon needs rid too, said it all along he's no replacement for Forster, but he's behind Efe in the queue! That incident was all Efe's fault. It's not even about 'communication' at all, he failed to execute a header, as simple as that.

Agree0 Disagree0

16 Oct 2015 18:54:04
I think HenriksTongue is big Efe in disguise.

Agree0 Disagree0

16 Oct 2015 19:07:45
I was nackered after the African Cup of Nations and the fans have never forgiven me for my mistakes against Juventus. Neil Lennon should never have thrown me in to that game. Efe little thing is going to be alright.

Agree0 Disagree0

16 Oct 2015 19:10:00
Mmmmm interesting posts, get rid of Efe he shite, now let's get rid of Gordon he not a replacement for Forster. I seen many criticising Brown because he can't pass a ball. Izzy needs to get punted as he costs us in Europe time and time again, Forrest not good enough I keep reading let's dump him. GMS is not better than Forrest I hear let's get rid. We need a new striker so Griffiths not good enough and throw in Cifti. Boyata is the new bombscare so not anywhere near good enough, drop him. Johannsson ain't kicked a ball all season, he defo needs dropped. Guys I could go on but if we did this we wudnt have a team left to support lol.

16 Oct 2015 19:55:38
Paul McGuigan, Anton Rogan, Mark McNally were rotten it is a tuffie Ambrose or Scheidt difficult to split them as to who was the worst.

Agree0 Disagree0

16 Oct 2015 20:36:28
Anton Rogan wasn't rotten, - if we had more like him now the defence would be better. Ed will remember him, he gave everything every game and loved the club, he was no Maldini but left everything on the pitch. That's what this whole defence lacks, there is no aggression, no leadership, they're all too nice, that's Ambrose's biggest problem, he walks around smiling in a dream world. I blame him more for the second goal, because if he had anything about him he would have went on to show he had got over it, he wasn't brave enough though to go and attack that ball, - the big Brazilian had a free header from 6 yards. I remember Commons coming out and slating him on camera after that Juve game the lad mentioned in the above post, I don't think I remember that happening before, he should have said that to his face in the dressing room, it shows though how frustrated the players get with him also. If commons had said that about Aitken/Mjallby/Elliot/Balde he would have been on compassionate leave for a few months. We have no warriors in this team. Boyata seems exactly the same, he doesn't get in about it either, and none of them talk to each other. Oh for a Tony Adams and Martin Keown.

Agree0 Disagree0

16 Oct 2015 20:54:42
Rogan was a bombscare too Delph! The problem is none of the above IMO, The problem is that Blackett, Janko, Boyata even the big Croat don't HAVE experience! Prior to arriving @ us the four of them have hardly played a full season EACH (something like 130 competitive games between them) and the alternative's like Efe are mince! That is a shocking stat for a club like ours.

Agree0 Disagree0

16 Oct 2015 21:16:08
I agree about experience, it's their character though, that is engrained, so the centre halfs I mentioned were leaders, and aggressive from an early age. Rogan was slightly erratic, he was an attacking full back though, he was the first left back I watched in the flesh, that's when I got my first season ticket, I tell you what though he has made less defensive errors than Izzy. Coming from Belfast as well, the hassle he had to put up with, long before Neil Lennon, I'll always stick up with him. Big Billy signed him, and loved him!

Agree0 Disagree0

Hes made the most mistakes of any celtic player I've ever seen and I can remember from 1993 onwards.

Agree0 Disagree0

16 Oct 2015 23:07:25
I cannot remember a centre half playing for Celtic since the middle 1960's that didn't make a mistake, even the great King Billie who they are going to erect a statue in his memory made his share. Efe has had some bloomers, but some people keep on about them non stop, and even blame him for goals that he may have played just a very minor role in the conceding. I have heard and read at different times that Efe's confidence must be low. I often wonder why?

Agree1 Disagree0

17 Oct 2015 07:45:16
I think we've seen enough to scratch off the confidence issue with Efe. He can go on a run of a few good games and then bam, he makes a huge Tony Blair.

Agree0 Disagree0

18 Oct 2015 18:59:50
I suppose this is a daft thought,
I think we are all Celtic supporters and we are all part of the Celtic family . To me that means that we should always support our own and encourage them, as we want Celtic to win . If our own son or daughter did something wrong, would we shout abuse at them as they go down the street .
Inside a five min spell yesterday Efe cleared a cross that could well have finished up as a goal for M'well and then set Commons up for a great chance of a goal .
Now I wonder has any of those who abuse him in print on forums, or from stand ever done as much .

Agree0 Disagree0

James Wilson linked to Celtic very good young player like this lad but lone players only leave a problem

Absolutely pointless imo.

Times have changed Celtic fans gathered in their hundreds at Celtic Park to welcome Robbie Keane , treated him like the Messiah , when he came on lloan

RK was/even still is a different class to Wilson.

Agree0 Disagree0

16 Oct 2015 14:54:49
If we were to get the boy on a permanent deal I'd go for it, he looks decent for only being 21 although he has just signed a new deal so that's not going to happen. But I'm not a fan of bringing loan players to the club, why not give our own youth the chance to shine rather than bring another clubs youth player to get game time? Heard good things about young Nesbitt so give him a shot. Can he not play behind striker or as a striker?

Agree0 Disagree0

16 Oct 2015 23:09:23
Jim Jim did you mean RK was/ is a class below Wilson. I agree he was a class below.

Agree0 Disagree0

15 Oct 2015 11:08:39
Is it just me? We are going for a new striker allegedly, which is good, but, as yet I haven't heard any moves for defenders that would ensure Ambrose is never required to play for us again. Boyata is still a problem too. We need a defence.

Believable1 Unbelievable0

15 Oct 2015 15:33:53
I think we need to look at a few areas and sincerely hope RD is thinking along the same lines (to a certain extent)? Gordon has had his purple patch and surely, was never a long term solution to replace Forster. The centre back pairing has to be addressed and settled asap He must realise by now, what limitations and liabilities we have assembled and who he can rely on (if any). Lustig is class but has fitness issues while Izzy is great going forward, but even young Tierney has shown he is better defensively. Janko can do a job - although Blacket has not impressed and can go back any time. Johansen is going through the motions and seems a shadow of the 'player of season' last term; Needs his bum kicked. Bitton and Brown are important influences, but like most of the squad, must work on distribution and ball retention. Forrest and GMS hardly make a decent winger between them and are far too inconsistent. (McGinn leaving was a big mistake)
I would persevere with GMS as I feel Forrest has had umpteen chances and still leaves me frustrated more times than not. Although I had my doubts, I have to say, Griffiths has been outstanding - but we have failed miserably in recruiting other quality strikers for a few seasons and need to add at least another quality striker - after releasing Stokes and Boerigter in the January window. Sounds a bit like a letter to Santa!?

Agree1 Disagree1

15 Oct 2015 16:06:00
Basically you are saying that RD has failed to build a decent team in the more than ample time a coach should be allocated, I have to agree.

Agree2 Disagree5

15 Oct 2015 16:37:18
Johansen is carrying a back injury not sure why we are not resting him to fix the problem. The board in my opinion has not backed RD in the market so I don't think you can fully blame RD for the team that is on the park TTS who would you have in RDs place? For me he is the man for the job just needs more backing from the board and the correct backing

Agree2 Disagree0

15 Oct 2015 17:38:55
Something's got to give within the club. MON, WGS and NL all left mainly because of budget constraints and lack of backing. Year on year being a Celtic supporter is becoming less and less enjoyable and it's getting a bit ridiculous. We've had a couple of decent performances against Ajax and Fenerbahce but apart from that it's been rotten. I honestly haven't even missed domestic football during this international break and that's probably the first time ever. Maybe next year if we get a few games with the Ibrox mob it will spice it up a bit hopefully.

Agree2 Disagree0

15 Oct 2015 18:55:07
The board have put zero into the team. Zero. They have to go.

Agree1 Disagree0

15 Oct 2015 21:40:04
Jungle Jim kicking a player trying to play through a back injury is hardly likely to improve performances. Modern managers regard bum kicking as last resort. Any manager coming to Celtic and expecting a decent transfer budget needs his head examined.

Agree0 Disagree0

16 Oct 2015 13:39:41
Have only just found out about Johansen's injury -although I think he has been playing poorly since the January window - Playing a player with a back injury is ridiculous for several reasons and is very counter productive to the team and player. Arse kicking worked for the likes of Big Jock through to Alex Ferguson and is a well known cure-all for slackers.

Agree0 Disagree0

18 Oct 2015 19:05:53
TTS how do u know that one season and three months is ample time for a manager who has been given the task of hanging the recruitment and tactics of a club. Some very successful managers have taken a lot longer .

If u are sure Deila has long enough I am sure you could supply names of they who could do better . I would be happy enough to change to someone who is almost certain to do better . But to change for change sake would be foolhardy .
