Musnt grumble. Got to say iv been a much happier supporter over the last 3 games. If we can keep this run going then naturally a feelgood factor should return through out the club. i'm no RD fan, but credit to him and the team for recent run of games. Keep it up Bhoys.

If league results don't fill their glass they use the European results to empty it when since Seville have we actually sustained consistent success a couple of last 16 qualifications and a few freakish results but this is a tool used by the Keith Jackson and Hugh keevins to run us down and try to make us feel we are missing the Govan mob since they died? English championship teams fling about 5-6-7 million pounds for players even more now and we are to compete in Europe on our budget. I know the moldes don't spend mega millions but they are just trying to do as we do buy small and turn into gems sometimes the gambles pay off.

Bigp, it's not a case of glasses being half full or half empty, but the fact is that we are having to buy small because we are not getting the Champions league money.
With not qualifying for the last 2 years, it's probably cost us around £30-40 million, that's an awful lot of money we're letting slip through our fingers, it's money that had we earned and spent wisely would have ensured that sevco would be trailing in our wake for years.
I don't think that we can compete in Europe on the pitch, but I would like us to earn what we can from it, so we can try and buy a slightly higher quality player, rather than the poor standard we have been getting, it also saves the coaching staff wasting a lot of time and effort on players who basically are not very good.
I thoroughly enjoyed the match last night, we are starting to play with a lot more belief in ourselves, I hope we can maintain these standards, especially in the cups.

{Ed007's Note - Do you really think if we had CL money there would have been more investment in the team because I don't? It's never happened before so why do people seem to think it'll happen now?}

I don't imagine that they would have spent large amounts of money, but I would like to think that the signings might have been a bit better than the likes of Cifti.

The amount of posts repeating the alleged lost of money for not Qualifying for the Champions League this season and last makes me wonder are most of our posters only following Celtic for last 10/ 15 years . Celtic's European history apart from the 60's& 70's but is really pity dismal
This past 15 years have been mixed but RD seems to have to have different standards than others . Let us reflect how he has performed after 5 years with Celtic .

20 Jan 2016 19:37:08
Chris, back in the 60's and 70's there wasn't the money in football that there is today, can you name any other way that Celtic can make any money without qualifying for the Champions league, we can't get the sort of TV money that clubs in other leagues get, and because our crowds are dropping off, we're not making much through the turnstiles.
When you say that Ronny has different standards to previous managers, what exactly do you mean?, Jock Stein made us famous worldwide by winning the European Cup, the style of football we played was admired everywhere, remember the standing ovation we got in Madrid, to try and link Ronny and jock in the same bracket is ridiculous.
I enjoyed the match last night, but keep things in perspective, we hammered a very poor team, it doesn't mean that Ronny should be mentioned in the same breath as the greatest manager who ever lived.

Good performance, good result. But mark my words and I know I'm going to get loads disagreeing with me as I usually do on here.
Anyway, if Ronny starts players like Armstrong, GMS, Gordon, Johansen, Brown, Boyata in next seasons CL Qualifiers we have no chance of qualifying again. These positions need to be addressed in the coming windows including this one or we face CL Qualifying failure.

Celticforever, you and many others are far too short sighted to see the bigger picture! It's hard for RD as the transition is being made on a shoe string budget and selling our top players, now RD is having more of a say in the transfers next season is when he should be judged as loosing an excellent CB partnership and starting from scratch it is an uphill struggle I'm not getting carried away by a couple of results but I can see what the end game is!

I think the team/ squad needs more experience to help the younger players learn and improve even more.
We have stated the new year very well and are playing attacking football with style that comes from a confidence that was missing.
Of course everyone has their own ideas about who should go and even who should never be there to start with, but it's hard to offload players who are either not playing or are unimpressive - so it may take time to shuffle the pack and the club may again have to cut it's losses and release surplus players?
I mentioned getting experience in, as we seem to be doing the same as last season, where there was a marked improvement and progression after we were knocked out of Europe - and I think the pressures of CL/ EL football is too much for certain players, who were decidedly ineffective or made to many mistakes.

Ed I thought the opening to my post was a factual observation not in need of editing lol! that might be the case that they are currently doing a better job on a lower budget but it doesn't mean that our budget isn't shoe string in comparison to the size of our club! And we have people making signings in our club that shouldn't be! There is a larger emphasis on having a coach to produce the next crop of Celtic first team players and RD is giving any good enough a fair crack of the whip!

21 Jan 2016 01:09:17
Maribor Malmo and Molde are operating in an area wh re the top layers rarely move out of their area. It's a bit of a parochial thing so these clubs can buy reasonable quality players at a cu price . Bringing up the result of a match last season is a pretty low strike for a Celtic fan to repeat on a weekly basis.

Interesting game tonight-: good points, Ambrose surpiseing but been good last few games, Bitton before being moved to defence, Macgregor, Rogic, Allen, Mackay-Stevens and Giffiths is outstanding.
Bad points why did RD not have a defender as a subsitute, Armstrong needs to improve, Won't get that time and space in Europe. Cole and Cifti don't look good enough have too pass better tackle better defend better if Europe is our goal.

We win 8 -1. One of our best wins and best performance for years and we post negatives about RD and a player who didn't cross the line . Should we not be allowed to enjoy an eight one victory with Celtic playing quick incisive football right from the start .

Agree about Armstrong although he's been playing out of position he hasn't done himself justice when he has played the '10' role he is behind most of the Bhoys we have in that position. Great delivery for the first goal though and should've scored a few too.

8 goals against an SPL side is to be praised and enjoyed. I am concerned that with a team who were dead and buried we let them score. Without taking away from the result it just shows up our defence weaknesses again.

I'd rather we took our eye off the ball momentarily when we were 7 goals to the good rather than 1 or 2 like we usually do. I'd rather not at all obviously but at least it's progress. Brilliant performance all round tonight, gutted I couldn't go.

19 Jan 2016 22:38:06
We've been losing goals all season, rarely keeping a clean sheet. However, recently we have started to play with more confidence and desire going forward and scoring eight tonight is outstanding.
I know it was Hamilton - and they are struggling, but we were struggling not so long ago and the turn of the year has brought a string of victories, good attacking play and a few players at the top of their game - and that helps compensate for the bad defending/ poor goalkeeping we have endured for most of the season.
Without European football, we have to assert our authority domestically and go for every trophy in the coming months, but it is also important to use the 'windows' wisely to be better prepared for the qualifiers and learn from previous mistakes and I still feel we need a better goalkeeper than Gordon.

I wouldn't be surprised if Johansan could be for the road . After winning player of the year last year, he has taken very badly the abuse and hatred he has received on social media and from the stands. He seems to be fully aware that his form has dipped from last season but doesn't think he deserves what is written about him .
After the team and Forrest and Allan all played with confidence tonight, hopefully if he returns to a confident team, his confidence will return and we will have a better player than he has shown us all season .

DN30 he is our manager and he is giving it 100%. Is he good enough for Celtic? No he is not. You think he is great so good on you. Will he qualify for CL, will he get Celtic plYing attractive football, will he convert the fans? I don't think so. However he needs some kind of support so you hang in there.

Shows you what the effect of having the right manager in place can do, Hamilton went down when Alex Neil left, although a few players went as well, and Norwichs fortunes revived when Neil located there, I suppose you can say it is the Hamiltons players fault for not performing on the field or you can say that Canning is'nt as capabablame Ronniele a manager as Neil, much like at Celtic, some people blame the players for many of the inept performances and people b.

It's the wages I'm concerned about if this goes through. He might do a bit for the team but not what we want longer term. Added to coles wages it won't be a penny under 30k.
Given a fair run neither of them will score more goals than Griffiths.
Hope it's coincidental.

19 Jan 2016 06:19:54
I think that's the main thing rglen, his wages. He's scored 12 goals in almost 3 seasons. I'd fancy Griffiths, or most strikers to get that sort of record. I see the argument that the type of player he is, he may be suited to the pinacle in a 4-2-3-1, but there are so many out there better than him. If true, it really is just another highlight of the sheer unimaginative, unadventurous, chary nature of our scouting system. To go against the grain of our flawed transfer policy for somebody like Fletcher is just bamusing. I can see the excuses down the line already. "Oh but we shelled out significant money on Fletcher and look how that turned out". PL said that if the club seen value in 6-8m striker then we'd do it. If the people in charge between then and now haven't managed to find a player worth 6-8m, even if the intention is to sell on and make a profit, they need rid.
