At Ibrox only 2 BR permanent signings started, SS and ON who like most others didn't turn up. No doubting his ability to coach and mentor but judgement in the transfer market has been shocking, - other than a few. For me BR and the board need a good window because the mob smell blood and will reinforce + will get help from the refs. Fact.

Turn it up, thereā€™s been umpteen games heā€™s changed formations and personnel and itā€™s worked. We got beat as sore as it is it will be the rocket we need after having it so good these last few years. CalMac has played 50 odd games already this season we need a break and a few additions and we will kick on.

I said the exact same after the summer window, when most on here were slating the board, when infact most of Rodgers signings have been woeful and got slated myself. People seem to think that because most of the signings have been shocking the board haven't backed the manager.

Not blowing my own trumpet but I was saying these things months ago what people are saying now. " his signings", "this trying to build from the back when we don't have the quality of player to do it".

Again people are claiming bias from the ref why? Was that not the same ref that gave us a penalty in the 5-1 game at Ibrox? I thought the ref had a good game myself and can see why refs don't take any action when players kick out as the review panel will just undermine their decisions and recind any cards giving.

I did say after Morelos had his red card recinded at Pittodrie that they were setting a dangerous precident so don't blame the ref!
What angers me the most was the arrogance to play Calmac at LB and Johnston up top thinking the 3 points were in the bag.

I got branded a person on here for having a go at our transfer policy and it's not going to change.

Congerton/ Rodgers have been a disaster millions wasted. Plc won't commit any real money as it affects their bonus. Vicious circle guaranteed we will sell our best playes if the bank balance is under threat. Ooh look a squirrel/ hotel.

We will need to get really lucky. Maybe this 18yr old for 6mnths will get us over the line.

31 Dec 2018 10:34:39
It's not our transfer policy that is the problem Happy, it's the management team's lack of ability to spot a player. Far too many duds and squad players who are nowhere near good enough. In terms of our transfer policy in buying young to develop and sell on for massive profit is a credit to the club.

30/12/2018 was The Feast of the Holy Family and it's sad that on this day you lose the foundation stone of your family, your mum. What can I say that hasn't been said, condolences and my thoughts and prayers are with you and the whole family circle. Christmas is a family time, full of joy but also sadness as we remember those who are no longer with us. Mrs McGarvey was born 95 years ago for this earthly life in this "valley of tears" as the prayer says, yesterday she was reborn for the peace and happiness of heaven in the communion of Saints.

My mum was 10 days short of her 91st birthday when she passed away. I hope, like me, you can take comfort for the fact that your mum had a long life, no doubt coloured by many happy events and enriched by you and whatever siblings you have and the grandchildren that Iā€™m guessing she probably had as well. Every year, on my mumā€™s birthday, my brother and I go out in Glasgow for a meal and a few jars and recount a few of our favourite memories of her. We like to do this as itā€™s almost like a part of her is still here. Iā€™m sure you also have a ton of memories thatā€™ll bring a smile to you face for many years to come.

Its all If's and buts. What if we didn't have such a bad start to the season? What if they won their games they dropped points in and were now way ahead of us in the league? What if Hearts were still unbeaten? It's all irrelevant. We currently head the league on goal difference, we're still in Europe, the treble treble is still on, in fact the quadruple is still on this year if you are super confident! We go into the New Year top of the league. All the fairy stories from the MSM can't deny us our place. I haven't looked at a rag today but I know exactly the gist of what they are writing about.

We got beat fair and square and it had to happen some time. They were the hungrier side. We retreat, lick our wounds and come back stronger in January. Maybe add a few new faces but let's face it, if our current squad were up for it, we wouldn't need anybody else. We have a squad more than capable of horsing this league.

Sevco and the rest of them can pretend they are title challengers but the old cliche says leagues are won over a season. We will all drop points in the run in but we should be good enough to stroll it.

A 4th fredo red card incident has came to light, when he elbowed Christie in the face knocking him to the ground. The same linesman who was screaming to get Jozo sent off for a similar offence just 9 months ago was 10 yards away and obviously turned a blind eye, like his fellow officals had done all day.
Sevco players are celebrating by putting celebration pictures on social media, which they deserve to do, but fredo has a picture of himself glorifying after stamping on young Ralston who is lying in agony.
I don't think i have ever seen anybody get away with 4 off the ball incidents in one game before.
I know we deserved to get beat but there was plenty of times under smith they deserved to get beat and didn't cos its all about putting the ball in the net.
Although sevco played well the 4 officals played there part also, which i could have guessed after watching anyone but Celtic the previous day.

Can see fredo being taken out of commission by a rogue tackle. Really don't rate him, if he was as good as is made out he would of been away. Jelavic the sequel.

Ones who will be glamourising his photo will be same ones who would of complained about neil simpson tackle on ian durrant.

When he wasn't diving all over the place he was running around assaulting people. Just seems he can get away with punching and kicking in almost every game. Not surprised the dream team never sent him off that's why they got the game in the first place. Surely a ban coming his way.

No excuse for our performance but beaton gave sevco every close decision it was embarrassing there was an incident when eddy was breaking with ball and advantage should have been played and he stopped the game but gave advantage to sevco in a exact same scenario.

30 Dec 2018 20:06:38
There's no doubt we were a poor shadow of ourselves yesterday, but as I have pointed out time and time again - it's not the big decisions you have to watch in every game these days, it's the 50/ 50 decisions that ALWAYS go against us, it's the play-on to opponents when we are refused obvious fouls and the blind eyes and lack of yellow cards for numerous infringements and assaults off the ball that all 4 officials fail to spot or react to. The Establishment is playing a blinder this season and too many people just accept it an excuse or put it down to paranoia. It's rife and getting worse - believe me.

Hi. there is a lot of panic merchants on this site. wrong therm wrong tactics even saying that there were some players who did not do themselves justice sinclair bottled it every time and not for the first. Time. ntcham clearly does not have the appetite for crunch games like these. lustig should never be an automatic pick. forrest let Halliday charge up and down the left all game . yess we were crap but no reason for fans to panic. tierney. rogic. edouard fully fit mcgregor in midfield and Iā€™m sure replay that game we would win it. br must take blame for tactics that clearly did not work . we move on and sign a penalty box forward and a r. b and a class midfielder who can burst out fast onto the box. armstrong like . so relax Bhoy we are still the best team in the league geogeo.

30 Dec 2018 16:48:01
Gordon doesn't know when to pass and when to punt either that or it's stubbornness and see if a see him clip the ball head height to lustig who gives away possession because there's nothing he can do with the ball al scream.

Phil, was just on their page and actually seen "mind the gap" lol, let them be the masters of their own downfall, it happens all the time, they believe the hype, then reality bites them. 55 will not be coming, not until after the 10 has came to us, we move on, and come back stronger, they won't like you knowing, but they're still second, we're champions for a reason, HH.

Agree1 Disagree0

30 Dec 2018 17:14:02
Tim 55 is a fantasy and cannot happen unless they pay off all old rangers debts and ask to bring back old club like Fiorentina did. Until that happens their next title will be their first.
I believe they will eventually win their first title but it will be club number 3 that will achieve it, after we win 10 in a row they will fold again and start all over again debt free. After all its Scottish football and they can do what ever they want.

Agree3 Disagree0

30 Dec 2018 18:18:16
Fife bhoy yes saw that "mind the gap" comment as well. Talk about making a ar$e of it šŸ˜†šŸ˜†šŸ˜†.

30 Dec 2018 19:01:09
Fiorentina went into liquidation and started up a new club called FLORENTINA and started in seria d.
Within 2 years they paid off all Fiorentina old debts.
The Italian f. a let them change back to Fiorentina and fast tracked them into seria a due to league reconstruction.
A question a have asked on here before is if sevco had 80 million would they pay off old debts and try bring back the old club if allowed ( which the sfa would) or spend the money on new players to try and stop 10 in a row.

Agree1 Disagree0

31 Dec 2018 05:26:07
Leon Bhoy i never knew that about Fiorentina. Seems to be quite a lot of teams going bust across there.

I bet they would attempt to stop 10 in a row as by paying debts would be an admission of guilt regarding newco argument.

30 Dec 2018 08:50:04
Having watched yesterdays game I have come to the following conclusions.
Firstly our signing policy for the last 18 mounths has gone badly askew.
Secondly the top teams in Scotland have improved whilst we have not.

Remedial action on both these fronts need to be adressed. Better quality signings with a degree of experience and a high number of first team games is a must, Players who can slot in with little time needed to adapt. These cannot be so old as to have no resale value.

There to we must also accept that staffing levels are too high with a number of players collecting saleries without making a significant contribution to the club.

Competition at a club like Celtic is paramount to success, therefore any player who the management feels would not progess the team over the next 18 mouths must be allowed to leave. This would free space for developing young players and bringing in new blood.

We should start now to prepare for next season.

Gordon, Ntcham, Sinclair and Brown has to be told his position and future is under threat. Lusnig that no new contract will be forecoming so to De vires Boyata, Gamboa, Simunovic. Compper, Isaguirre, Bitton. Kouassi, Allan, Benyu, and Malumbu, Hayes,

Hendry and Morgan sent out on loan to gain first team experience and toughen up.

This would free Thousands for new blood to either come in or be developed.

Believable4 Unbelievable0

30 Dec 2018 10:09:24
Brown and Ntcham together doesn't work anymore they're slow on the ball and pass backwards too much, teams know if they press us high we give the ball away too easily. That was our downfall at the start of the season. If Edouard and Tierney are good for the bench surely they should've started. Tactics all wrong and for all the great saves Gordon made a lot was largely down to poor distribution and us getting pressed at the back. This is what we should've been doing to them as their defence has been guilty of doing the same in recent weeks. Agree most teams have got stronger but our away record is shocking this season and that's let teams close the gap on us more than anything. Agree with most of them players leaving a lot of the mentioned are squad players only but it doesn't fill you with much confidence if they're on the bench to change a game when brought on especially if your strongest 11 can't get it right. Sell most of them then surely we can add a few more quality players in positions we need.

It wasn't the ref that was playing crazy passers from the back or couldn't pass the ball to a teammate we were rank only issue I had was the buffallo should have been red carded for a few incidents and got nothing.

Agree0 Disagree0

30 Dec 2018 12:40:18
No excuse for performance but ref was absolutely shocking Ado. Four fouls by Moron-ess including two kick outs and two stamps and not even a booking. McGreggors ā€˜goalā€™ was marginally offside but the conservative and unionist MP on the touchline was never giving it. Strange he wasnā€™t shouting RED CARD RED CARD (or even YELLOW) when Brown was kicked twice at his side of the park.

Agree0 Disagree0

30 Dec 2018 13:20:42
FFS. Always excuses. Canā€™t blame the ref, linesman or politics. We were beaten by a team that were up for it while we were looking forward to a trip to Dubai. Transfer window opens this week and we will rectify the problems we have.

Agree2 Disagree0

30 Dec 2018 13:30:48
Can't blame the ref we never won a tackle all day. Never won a second ball or put any effort in. We were embarrassing if the ref was that poor why were the players not complaining. Simple answer they chucked it. Heartless Heartless performance. Can put up with getting beat if we leave everything on the pitch. We left everything in the dressing room.

Morelos is an animal, another game this superstar has failed to score against us.

Think next old firm 30th march if im right? We will be a far stronger unit. Felt as though we missed rogic goal scoring ability from outside box.

30 Dec 2018 14:29:04
I donā€™t really agree that the other Scottish teams jabbed improved noticeably.
We have definitely went backwards with almost every BR signing failing to produce consistently for more than a year now.
Poor signings, very poor transfer window, complacency amongst players and management.
Tactically we are a one trick pony, granted when enough players have a good day we can look a decent team but when a team gets in our faces our frailties can be easily exposed.
Between now and August this team and squad needs a total revamp, BR has said on enough occasions the squad was to big, well itā€™s going to have to get even bigger!

Looking back at yesterday's game, I'm not sure if there was a bit of arrogance in rodgers team selection, I'm not sure he didn't underestimate rangers due to the injuries etc they were apparently carrying and thought he'd get away with playing Johnston up top and McGregor at LB. That's rangers team who by the way are no where near a good side were right up for the fight yesterday and done everything we expected our team to be doing yet once again away from home this season we failed. That win for them yesterday was always going to happen at some stage as a few posts have already said, what angers me, like the game at Easter road there was absolutely no fight, nothing and for me from a Celtic team is totally unacceptable. We've no god given right to win any game but what the fans expect is us to compete and get stuck in. We were all over the place yesterday. It says it all for me that our best central midfielder ( who for reasons unknown to most other than rodgers) was our best player and that's even playing at LB. Rodgers took so much away from our midfield yesterday by making that move and ntcham did him no favours either with his performance. I know we are ravaged by injuries at this moment but that team, with the exception of McGregor should've still been capable of putting up a fight, not necessarily win but compete and it didn't happen. For rodgers to come out after the game and say we defended well? No Brendan we didn't we were rank rotten across the back except McGregor. Week after week we sit with our hearts in our mouths watching the ball getting passed across the back, then back again then Gordon lumps it out the park. We invite so much pressure onto ourselves by playing like this it's unreal and so unnecessary. Losing that game isn't by any means the end of the world, we'll bounce back I've no fears on that, our players will come back refreshed and ready to go and hopefully a few new players added but the away form needs addressed.

Believable4 Unbelievable0

30 Dec 2018 09:45:11
There's no doubt we have given encouragement to several opponents this season with our predictability and dithering about at the back.
Why can't BR see we are simply not good enough to play out from the back every single game? The goalkeeper (who made some good saves yesterday) is under the delusion he is a footballer, when 90% of his kicks either find an opponent or go out of play, while the only centre back who is comfortable on the ground is a loanee.
Lustig, Brown and Ntcham are often caught in possession and/ or play a stray pass deep in our own half and the 'out-ball' is very rarely held or even delivered in the first place.
The puzzling thing for me is that we have beaten teams with ease playing a certain way (usually with McGregor in CM) , but BR tends to shuffle the pack and disrupt a winning team just for kicks?

Agree4 Disagree0

30 Dec 2018 11:33:14
Gary agreed BR got it massively wrong yesterday playing McGreggor at left back which took all the creativity out of the midfield when there was no need as Hayes or Emilio could have played there. As a result too many changes to accommodate KTā€™s absence unnecessarily. Whether it was arrogance or just bad judgement only Brendan knows. As for playing from the back I just happen to be reading his autobiography at the minute and that isnā€™t going to change as its central to his philosophy as to how the game should be played. I have no problem with that essentially but neither our keeper or back four looked comfortable doing it and thatā€™s my problem with BRs tactics yesterday which Stevie G string also figured hence the high pressing. The game was there to be played on the front foot and taken to the successors of Rangers but we did the exact opposite.

Agree0 Disagree0

30 Dec 2018 12:23:51
JFP I agree BR is not going to change his philosophy of building from the back and I have no problem with this either. However there is a certain. Way to build from the back for example CH or full backs taking it from the keeper and moving it into the midfield at a pace and tempo. What we do is slowly pass the ball along the back four and Gordon allowing teams to press us high up the park. We've done this all season away from home resulting in only 4 wins from 11. This has to change or will will without doubt continue to drop points.

Agree1 Disagree0

30 Dec 2018 12:49:16
Ice Man it was bombscare stuff yesterday along the back four. I watched Hibs v Hearts and Effe Ambrose was more effective bringing the ball out of defense and driving into midfield than anybody we had on the park yesterday.

Agree1 Disagree0

30 Dec 2018 13:09:54
JFP, I donā€™t doubt itā€™s rodgers philosophy on how he wants his team to play and thatā€™s fine but weā€™re watching this nonsense week in week out and the players at his disposal arenā€™t good enough most the time to do it. If he wants to continue this then buy players capable of carrying it out. Itā€™s easy for myself and others to blame Gordon etc but the real blame with it lies at rodgers door. If he doesnā€™t do something to sort it weā€™ll continue to drop points, invite pressure and concede through it as those guys arenā€™t good at it and Gordon must dread the ball coming back to him as his passing out is shocking.

Agree0 Disagree0

30 Dec 2018 15:09:01
Once upon a bhoy i thought Gordon pulled some quality saves off but like you mentioned i was concerned at kick outs.

Brown looked very uncomfortable on ball.

Agree1 Disagree0

30 Dec 2018 15:26:25
Gary something i never realised till i read your post, was rodgers pre match interview. Maybe im reading into this wrong but to me sounded like he just wanted to get last game of 2018 out way and strenghten in January whilst going into 2019 top of league with game in hand.

Agree0 Disagree0

Looking at the starting 11 for our 4 away league defeats and their is a glaring similarity in the sides. Need to be more pragmatic and less self indulgent with all the passing about for the sake of it at the back. Played hearts away (when the grass was too long to play football) and won easily. Bring in a target man, only rotate for home matches and bring back the hunger! Ralston won our first 50/ 50 today and he came on at half time doesn't matter how much better you are if you don't match the workrate first of all.
