Out of curiosity I watched the last 20 mins of the Falkirk Sevco game I must say looking at it I am worried the guy is a tactical genius the substitutions he made to change the game were phenomenal. Peter Houston is up there with the mourinhos of this world hope Falkirk don't come up next year because if they can do that to the best footballing on form bestest record breaking team in Scotland what would Falkirk do to celtic? That lot are a shambles a total lack of organisation nowt to worry about well done the bairns.

I like Peter Houston, he tell's it like it is, - I remember him giving Lennon dogs abuse during and after a game. And for the fans that want a Celtic man in charge, well he was a supporter as a boy! I couldn't care less about that but for me he would be a better candidate than Stubbs. Don't get me wrong I don't want either but Houston has good experience, at Hearts, Scotland, he was the head scout with us, and has done a brilliant job at Falkirk so good on him!

I wish I could share the optimism everyone on this site has regarding the cup semi final. They seem to have goals from all over the park. We have goals through Leigh Griffiths.

{Ed007's Note - Off the top off my head we've scored around 100 goals this season and LG has scored 35 of them.}

18 Mar 2016 20:25:48
So he has scored over 1/ 3 of our goals and probably been involved in over half of them. That seems a large percentage. Maybe i'm just being the usual pessimist but this game worries me.

{Ed007's Note - Tomorrow's match will be a tougher test for us.}

They are better than we played them the last time IMO but we should have way too much for them (y)

Well joeshmo i'm sitting watching the game against falkirk just to see for myself what were up against and i can honestly say i'm not worried in the slightest they've nothing for me even tothink abut not going through this tie . Put it this way all the paper talk and some of our own fans are saying crap like if they keep playing how they have been and we keep playing hiw we've been then they'll have a great chance to beat us, just hold up for a minute here youll notice its all iffs n buts so turn it all round and ask yourself what if they go off the boil and we find form will we leather them? On any given day if celtic play their best then it won't matter who we play, just as i'm writing this falkirk have had 3 great chances! c'mon the hoops.

18 Mar 2016 21:45:51
Well it's just a pity the media can't do anything about that result tonight! All this pi-s about how we are in disarray, the ex and biggest bigots telling us how worried we should be in the superhunboard and the daily blue tops well f the lot of them let's show them lot what we are all about here we go oh Hamden in the sun!

Was looking at Larsson's Best XI he played with:

Victor Valdez

Roland Nielson RB
van Bronkhorst LB
Mjallby CB
Puyol CB

Lambert CM
Xavi CM
Moravcik CM

Sutton CF
Ibrahimovic CF
Ronaldinho CF.

Can't believe Valdez gets in before big Rab D lol.

{Ed007's Note - I'm surprised he didn't go with Andreas Isaksson.}

18 Mar 2016 19:49:56
Was thinking the same Island Celt lol. However, he did mention Hedmann. :S.

19 Mar 2016 02:25:03
was Van Bonkhurst at Barcelona with him? and was he really all that? Would have thought one or two of our LB might have got the nod.

I think he played with van bronkhorst at feyenoord and Barcelona.

I've been highly impressed by Ronny this morning. Once again the SMSM tried to get him to bite by bringing up Moyes etc. and once again he's given them absolutely nothing they can twist in order to fill their back (or front) pages. The guy's temprament when faced with these jokers is unbelievable. Always extremely classy and dignified. Well done RD!

Hail Hail to that kev.

The time he got stirred the most was the interview after the Ajax game.

I don't think anyone mentioned would bring anything better, I can't honestly see the benefits of the likes of malky, moyes or even Lennon.
I loved Lennon as a manger because despite the indifferent record, he always brought a bit of spark. I felt it was time for him to go when he walked but I don't regret his tenure.
I'm a Ronnie supporter for different reasons - I feel he has a bit of style and class about him and I still think with the right support we will be onto something.
I don't buy into the he a 'lap dog' argument, he wanted to come to manage Celtic and give up his home and family to do so. He was offered terms and accepted - fair play to him.
I appreciate for some the results/ performance has not been enough for some and everyone is entitled to their opinion, but for me I'd like to see everyone get behind him and the team for another season.
It must be hard enough for a manager with the media, ex players, pundits all sticking the oar in.
I would like to see any player who doesn't support the manager shown the door - commons.

Jesus, whatever we think of R D, surely no one would expect Celtic to step down to further even lower standards by considering Lenon, Malky, or Moyes . I see no real reason to get rid of R D but if we are the Board will have to pull off some sort of miracle and get an experienced winning Manager who can win week in week out on a very small budget, possibly replacing best players every season .

18 Mar 2016 20:04:24
Chris that shouldn't be too difficult, I reckon just about every manager in the SPL would do just as well if not better than Deila given the huge difference in resources between us and everybody else.
When you look at the size of our club compared to all the rest, it's pretty embarrassing that we're struggling to win the league.
In my opinion, Ronny is a nice guy but a poor football manager.
