Sick to the stomach with these performances in europe.
1. ronny needs to pick his own staff
2. if it still doesn't work, get DiCanio. don't think he'll be a yes man ans maybe install some pride and mentalness into the team ;)

06 Nov 2015 08:51:32
Time and time again RD makes basic tactical errors and awful substitutions that cost us points. All for a change but wouldn't have DiCanio anywhere near CP.

06 Nov 2015 09:08:03
Could tell you a story ir two about Paulo and the way he treated staff at SAFC. Not what any club needs.

06 Nov 2015 09:51:37
Agree Jim! Loved the guy as a player but wouldn't touch him with a barge pole! Last thing we need! Is there anyone on here who actually thinks RD should stay, and can say honestly that they trust him with another crack at Europe next season? Just a question to see what people think. my opinion hasn't changed from last nite. not even angry anymore! Just totally disillusioned with where our club is right now! Think it would be best for both club and Ronnie if he went, along with Collins and Kennedy! Can only see more nites like last nite ahead if they stay! If u actually look at his European record its woeful! And that's without us even kicking a ball in the CL proper! And we'll struggle to attract any player of even a half decent standard if this decline continues! Ronnie cannot say he's not had enough chances either, because he's had more than enough!

06 Nov 2015 12:42:45
Agree Dh88. Time for a change but who can we attract?
I am more embarrassed that angry. was watching Bayern v Arsenal the night before, oh how lucky we are that we didn't get into CL!

06 Nov 2015 13:30:41
Doesn't really matter Dh, any manager would be hamstrung by the policies of the club. It's a constant rebuilding job. I'd like Ronnie to stay, like NL before him, with a fair crack of the whip. But it won't happen. People can call for a new manager all they like, we'll see similar patterns with the way we're run. The club needs a shake up and to wake up. Operate like a CL club at every level do we Peter? Don't make me laugh.

06 Nov 2015 14:36:21
Again aye agree Jim! Well apart from wanting RD to stay! Lol. yeh I get that Lawell and the rest Havnt backed the last few mangers we've had and acted like the CL club we're supposed to be! And I've said for long enough now it's changer from top to bottom we need! And that includes Lawell! My problem is mate that the way we're being beat by mediocre teams is utterly embarrassing! And that's got nothing to do with how much we spend on players! Molde Malmo Warsaw Maribor Zagreb Salzburg. all these teams have been more organised than us, and at times passed us off the park! All of these won't have the wage bill we have or budget! So for me it's RD who is clueless when it comes to simple tactics and organisation! Ask urself this mate, if before the Malmo game we swapped mangers and RD managed Malmo and hariede managed us who would have went through? U and I both know the answer to that! And it's not because hariede is the worlds best manager! It's because he knows how to set up his team and use players in proper positions! And If sum things going wrong during the game then change it! Something Ronnie cannot do! Looking at that 2nd half last nite tells me the players ain't playing for this guy anymore! Molde were quicker hungrier and smarter than us last nite! Not to mention fitter! And this is a team at the end of there season who u would think would be gubbed!

06 Nov 2015 15:27:04
It is poor to watch. I'm not blind ignorant. On paper, said after the summer, we lack a quality striker, experienced CBs and pace and width in midfield. RD has to change things aye but he's really got his hands tied.

06 Nov 2015 15:49:51
Dh88 Salzburg will probably have a bigger budget than ronny has you just need to look at the other red bull team in Germany to see that red bull invest money in the teams they take over and it would surprise you the wages Warsaw and Zagreb pay am guessing at least Zagreb have more players on 35 to 45 grand than we do I would like ronny to stay with his own people in at every level and with the freedom to sign and sell the players he wants to

06 Nov 2015 18:25:00
Going to try to get Di Canio would really be cutting off your nose to spite your face .
I honesty think that despite the horlicks Deila has made of it so far, he is probably the best to get us out of this cess pit and back playing fairly well in Europe . We have a group of young players and a young manager, let them mature together .

05 Nov 2015 22:19:02
So this is my take folks .

i think i just watched a re-run of a match a fortnight ago. The opponent let us have the ball, knew we would retain easy possession. but also knew that there were 6 candidates in hooped jerseys who would eventually make an abysmal pass. they would then attack with pace and make us look exposed. this was a REPEAT. of what we witnessed previously.

The shambles that is our defence repeats mistakes nowadays as a matter of course. The midfield repeatedly misplace passes and at one point tonight boyata made a hopeless pass only to get out of jail by getting the ball back . only to to then give the ball away again as a result of passing the ball in to traffic

Celtic players don't mean to go out and lose but this is what really shocked me

what members of the defence are prepared to go in where it hurts and put their body on the line for their teammates and the club? Firsst goal, good strike but Boyata doesn't attack the danger and turns away from the shot with no real desire to get in front of the ball

goal 2 and 2 decent opportunities to win the ball . Rogic first (but fails) and the Boyata at the opposite post . again no strength or desire to win the 2nd ball. the molde player wanted to score more than Boyata wanted to avert a goal. big worry

Folks, MOLDE FK could have had 5.the second half was dominated by a decent team who CAN pass, and have super pitch intelligence. They knew where to press and when to press and when to come forward in numbers.

We were predictable, one paced and second to too many balls; was there a decent tackle all night or a point where a player rallied the troops?

This was not a form thing. Tonight was not an economic mis-match. They were put together for a budget (4m euros) that we recently spent on a centre half who has played 3 games in 10. So this wasn't about money AND THAT IS THE GREATEST AFFRONT. That is the biggest worry.

Tactically, they came with the same plan and we didn't even attempt to counter the plan they had for us. What was our plan for them? We failed in the same areas we failed in a fortnight ago. We basically watched a re-run of a horror show.

Now RD will probably roll out with "we had good possession" blahblahbah . but we are now looking at a horrible set of stats

malmo 2goal giveaway
maribor home bore and a loss
fenerbahce 2 0 lead handed back
a resounding 5-2 loss to molde
2 leads thrown away to ajax
a crushing away defeat to a dinamo zagreb side that is the poorest of its class in 20 years
a royal pumping from legia warsaw

No amount of PR spin can alter the simple fact of the matter that we are very poor. With the exception of the turks above, money wasn't a handicap. This is more about management, set-ups, tactics, closing games down, good possession, good field intelligence, desire, hunger, heart, organisation, developing, progress et al.

Losing is bad enough but losing and going down with a whimper is insulting. Losing happens but when you lose and you endure a lacklustre performance it's a worry, but more alarmingly we are seeing the same mistakes week after week after week after week after week. Does that not concern anyone here?

If Celtic are progressing I am happy. Even routine blips (results wise) doesn't bother me if i am witnessing week on week month on month improvement and progress. My issue is that I watching the same mistakes week to week and gaping deficiencies going unchecked. Where is the redress?

The Scott Allan signing was a cheap stunt. The RD rant that attacked the press and Rangers (why? ) , and scottish football more generally was a deflection tactic. It was designed to make us think that the aggregate of the above noted agendas is clouding our judgement as fans.

I have no reason to dislike RD. But for the avoidance of doubt, I do not rate him. I have no agenda against RD, but I expect any manager/coach of celtic to improve his squad and get the very best out of them whether that be development, temperament, tactical noose, hunger, desire et al.

RD is NOT progressing the standard of first team play and I would not trust him in the 2015/2016 european campaign.

I know he doesn't necessarily get to sign who he wants but I assume he gets ti train, develop and pick the team and establish a style of play (and tactics) to thwart the advances of any opponent (or where we play superior opponents, the ability to suppress their qualities)

That being the case, he needs to be held personally accountable for a series of european debacles.

There is better out there who can get more from this team and drive a better european co-efficient without the need for any more money; I'm convinced by that now.

I hope we do turn it on against Ross County but should it be "a get out if jail free card" for the current management regime, NO!

I will leave PL and Mr Park for later but tonight needs to belong to RD solely and squarely

You'll disagree Old Bhoy I'm sure.

05 Nov 2015 22:41:41
Agree with every word of that paradise!

05 Nov 2015 22:49:44
Paradise Ronnie has signed 19 players. I don't believe he has not been part of the selection process. This is 19 not 5 or 6. We know he went after Berget ax he played for him before. I am sure he is more involved than some people want to admit to. Either way he ain't going to make it. Have said it since last season he has to go.

05 Nov 2015 22:57:40
I agree with everything you have written, Paradise, I mean I can't disagree with any of it, apart from the Scot Allan part, I realy rate him as a player, and if fit he should be in the team, there is a lot of whitewash and camouflage blaming lawwell and parks, but the only man to blame is Ronnie, you and others might blame LAWWELL for signing on the cheap, I have no idea how much he cost, but you just need to look on these pages and at the editors to see in a short space of time who became Ronnie diehards, they were mesmerised ito his way of thinking, they were following his dream, but footballs not like a jack black motivational lecture thing and he finishes and tells yo to go back and change your life but remember to come back next week with your chegue, ffootball is you have to perform every time you go onto the field, but the thing is I'm all mixed up now, but I think Ronnie is aswell, he has'nt a clue how to improve the team now, I have to admit Ronnie has to go, but I don't blame Lawwell for giving him a chance, I think he should be applauded, its a pity we did'nt get Paul Le Guen, at the time insread of Rangers, Paul L e Gue was very hard done by those idiots for trying to bring Ibrox into the modern world, but at least he had a proven history at top level football, Ronnie was our PLG, he had some of his modernising skills but not his management skills.

05 Nov 2015 23:21:03
Agree with the lot Paradise;
I have supported Celtic for over 50 yrs and have seen a lot of rough with the smooth and have been blessed with the sublime to which all Celtic teams and managers should strive to emulate.
We have a board who run a business with many perks but who care not a jot for the support or the football principles and philosophy that were instilled with our foundation.
We have cut so many corners and economised on quality and standards so much we have went alarmingly backward in terms of reputation, expectation and Acceptability.

I have given RD the benefit of the doubt for long enough, but he has all-but destroyed our European ambition and we have deteriorated drastically under his reign.
The promises and philosophy appears to be nothing more than the patter of a snake oil salesman; with no sign of the high tempo, slick footballing team with superior fitness!

I think virtually any manager could win the title with the resources and facilities at our disposal in the situation we are in these past few years and if that is what this board see as success then we need to give them a wee hint that we are as mad as hell and we're not going to take it any more - to coin a phrase.

05 Nov 2015 23:45:23
I have no axe to grind with RD; I don't know the man…

but managers need to be judged on performance and progress. The benchmark is often results, but the real clue is in the performances because results can tell a story that isn't quite accurate

RD's playground is not the SPL…. it is champions league qualification and/or europa league competitiveness

There are teams in the champions league who spend less than we do and are able to put on a performance and compete

we used to expect to qualify for the ECL and push for the last 16

then we were happy just to get in to the ECL groups for exposure (with no hope for last 16)

then we were just happy to make it to the final qualifying game to enter the ECL because it guaranteed european football to christmas (through the Europa League)

then we expected to qualify from the second tier europa league

now we are propping up that 2nd tier league with 2 points from a possible 12 …2 from 12 folks with the benefit of having played the "group whipping boys" twice

unfortunately we didn't see the weakest link trouncing us home and away

just how far are we prepared to drop

more importantly, what do we need to do to reverse this pitiful trend that could see us failing to get through to the 2nd round of qualifiers for the Champions League never mind the final qualifier

this could see us playing in a play off to get in to the 2nd tier competition

what will become of us when we don't make that competition

progress?

progress my backside

and to make matters worse, a squad that doesn't know if it is coming or going with players who performed in the past suffering from a crisis in confidence

we have had the commons debacle
the ciftci selection head scratcher
the awol scott allan
izzy's relegation and re-introduction and relegation again
ambrose's countless bombscare moments
a 1st pick centre half (boyata) that looks bewildered and plays every week as though it is the first time he has kicked a ball
a hapless goalie who looks less sure of himself than ever before (on a new contract)
a stop-start forrest
an awol GMS
an ineffective armstrong played out of position and becoming progressively worse and less relevant

thank the lord for young kierney …but does that not really say it all?

05 Nov 2015 23:49:50
JJ

very well put sir!

05 Nov 2015 23:51:30
Paradise won or two I don't really care, we were stiffed tonight, the defence is absolutely shocking and I for one worry about young Tierney, playing in a defence like that, he is a smashing young player and I just think his confidence could be affected playing I'm a defence like that . Now I'm fed up coming on here and reading all your shit, more than half of you come on here and want to write war and peace, and the other half want revolutions, this is supposed to be a banter . Page . ffs I've not seen any banter on here for months Jesus Christ, I am retired, but some of you guys on here need a serious look at yourself. Talk about grumpy old men ffs. Get a Grip.

05 Nov 2015 22:35:50
That's probably your best post PW ever

Over to you Ed? we know you like to let the dust settle mate but in the cold light of day you will be hurting too

We got a "fluke" goal against a poor team and are piss poor

What's your take on it? (y)

{Ed007's Note - Disappointed, Jamie but not surprised, it was another game that we could have won and ended up losing. Simunovic going off early was another example of how our luck seems to be going in Europe but you can't blame RD for taking the risk when you look at the alternatives, our defence is so fragile and low on confidence we seem to be rushing him a bit too much for me and the Molde player played it cute going in for that tackle.
The first goal would never have happened if Scott Brown was on the park, that's his area and Elyounoussi wouldn't have had so much time on the ball.
All the usual suspects in key positions let us down, Griffiths miss when he was 1 on 1 with their GK showed again that he shouldn't be first choice in Europe - and as for Citci, did he get a touch when he came on?
Blackett, Commons, Forrest, Armstrong, Boyata were all unimpressive and Bitton and Rogic had the type of game you just need to forget about with young players - we all want them in the team but when it goes wrong a lot of fans pounce on it and blow it out of all proportions - it will happen with Tierney at some point, fans are putting that lad under far too much pressure with their expectations already, it's time to take a step back and let him develop.
Is Craig Gordon even worth mentioning? And I got grief for questioning that signing to replace an England internationalist (rofl)
We tried to bring in Gordon Strachan to mentor NL, it's time we brought in a Director of Football to wrestle the power back at the club back to football rather than balance sheets. Sacking RD will achieve nothing as Rocky and Bullwinkle will still be in control, they're the problem.}

06 Nov 2015 06:41:18
Celtic Jerseys don't shrink to fit inferior players - Need to find out who is doing the laundry at present.
While I still feel RD is not experienced enough for the managers job, he has no backing. Collins (dont get me started), Defense (Kennedy and McGrain - nice guys but the results of their work are plain to see) . PL - I don't think I need to comment on his part.
After the last debacle we went out and humped Utd and for many, everything was coming together. Part 2 coming up - humped by that lot last night then we will destroy Ross County.
Just not good enough - No fight, no passion and a bunch of also-rans who are supposedly professionals. Losing is bad enough but its the way we are being beaten.

06 Nov 2015 07:18:49
To costa Tim

That is the most patronising post I've ever read

A
You don't need to read lengthy posts
B
I will post prose as long or as short as I like
C
Grumpy old men? I'm younger than our manager Ffs
D
Read A and B again and again and again and you'll get the gist of what I'm saying.

{Ed001's Note - I think the word irony is relevant here. An old man ranting about others being 'grumpy old men'!}

06 Nov 2015 09:18:02
Utter bollocks Paradisewon. You have a vendetta against Ronny Deila and like to portray yourself as having all the answers.

The key points to the situation we are in are:

1. John Park is solely responsible for dross that we have in squad. He is the one who is the weakest link at club and untill he is removed, no matter who is manager we will not progress.

2. Peter Lawwell is far too interested in his ego, thinking that he can continually do things on cheap in a trial and error manner hoping every signing will turn a Wanyama style profit. He is not football minded and has to go.

3. Backroom staff. My main issue when Lennon was appointed manager, was him having no experience. No member of coaching team, should have no experience prior to being appointed. John Kennedy was appointed out of sorrow for an early retirement due to injury. We should of appointed someone like Joe Jordan

4. How many managers knocked back job before Deila was appointed? Nobody of significance wants job, because there is far too much interferance at boardroom level. Expect someone like Owen Coyle to replace Deila if he is relieved of duties.

Untill Lawwell is away, expect things to get a hell of a lot worse.

06 Nov 2015 07:13:32
Insightful as ever ed.

06 Nov 2015 09:22:37
Think you can split the people on here up into a lot of categories, there's the ones that think Ronnies a good manager and he's just not getting the backing and the players just are'nt good enough, then there are the ones that think Ronnies not a good manager and he's making a group of good players look bad, then there are the people who have their favourite players like what's hisname, who seems to have an unhealthy hatred of Scott Brown, then there's the Ed, who can say Griffithsshould. nt be first choice in Europe cause he misses a chance, but Bitton and Rogic were just having a bad night, me, I am glad Johansenn is banned for the next European game, and I don't think Ronnie is a good manager,

{Ed007's Note - At European level top strikers put chances like Griffiths, away, that's the difference and that's why since the day he signed I have consistently said LG isn't and never will be good enough to play at any higher level than the SPFL.
Bitton has probably been our most consistent player this year and this is Rogic's first season as a first-team regular but you've decided neither of them are good enough because of last night - as I said, it'll be young Tierney's turn soon enough when he plays a bad game or makes a mistake.
You forgot to mention the category that don't know what they're talking, get their opinions from reading the media trashing our manager and team and just jump on the bandwagon, then there's the morons who seem to revel in us getting beat as it gives them some kind of superiority complex because no matter what RD does they'll nevrr be happy.

06 Nov 2015 13:45:25
Did'nt mean to be critical or over critical, of Bitton or Rogic, was just trying to point out your over critiscm of Griffiths, as even the best of strikers miss sitters now and again, which is similar to celticforever constant critiscm of Scott Brown, am sure Tierney will go on to have an outstanding career at Celtic, which makes me wonder how is that young Irish lad that plays CB, is he not good enough to get a chance in the first team.

{Ed007's Note - So I'm wrong to criticise LG after missing an absolute sitter even though it backs up what I have CONSISTENTLY said since he signed?}

06 Nov 2015 13:57:19
A think Ed sadly RD is getting to a point he cannot retrieve it mate!

I cannot see why people are up in arms about the youth what do they honestly expect to get from Blackett and Boyata? before arriving @ CP they had hardly played a FULL season between them in terms of experience!

But you of all Ed must see how UNFIT they look? (said last night even LG looked knackered after 60 mins! )

But they look not only that they look as though they are NOT even trying ffs confidence gone when a goal down

PL ain't coming out saying much and that is MEEK IMO (y)

{Ed007's Note - I wouldn't blame RD for chucking it, he should tell Pedro to ram it and then we'll see the level of coach that comes in next. It'll be another young coach brought in to work with players that Rocky and Bullwinkle have decided are in the right financial bracket rather than having the football ability to play for CFC.
What do fans expect when we're signing average players like Gordon, Armstrong, GMS, Griffiths, Ciftci and mixing it with dross like Forrest and Commons?
Whomever replaces RD will still have the same problems, the player recruitment at the club is a joke.}

06 Nov 2015 18:39:01
I think the Ed 07 is fairly spot on with his assessment . Hindsight is a very valuable commodity but one or two posters on here were forecasting a Celtic victory because Scot Brown was missing . I disagreed before the match and watching the match confirmed just how much we missed ou captain and best midfielder .
I wonder can we play Bitton and Rogic on the one team . In the second half especially both were caught taking three, four or five touches of the ball.
People have derided Ambrose and he has made mistakes but he would have attacked the ball better than Blackatt who just hasn't got it . Griffith's really should have scored in the second half, it was ridiculously easy and when a striker like Griffiths misses a chance like that, it doesn't help the rest of the team or the manager .
Two borderline off sides , a couple of close calls, a couple of fantastic saves by their goalie plus the Griffith miss added to two bad goals given away, yet Deila gets all the crap.

05 Nov 2015 21:19:00
Gutted no fight no movement no idea.

05 Nov 2015 21:08:58
Its time for lawell and park to pi** off pair of idiots you get whit ye pay for and we saw that the night humped off a team that was average at best over two games tyler blackett i would have let him aff the nyt 2 bob rocket hahaha 4 million clause to sign him permanent ad pay that tae send him back noo.

05 Nov 2015 21:35:33
Everyone has an opinion of who's to blame but one things for sure Deilabolicle can't influence the course of a game and make the appropriate changes
The team lacks organisation and drive
Worse I've saw since the macari era.

05 Nov 2015 20:51:56
Celtic missed a trick the past two seasons in Europe let's not make a third time to get someone that at least has a game plan hail hail we should part with Ronny on good terms before it gets any worst.

05 Nov 2015 20:29:22
Massive failure tonight, RD won't survive this tonight IMO this is torture folks

Lets just digest this it was woeful!

Sure RD has been short changed but of NINETEEN signings we are sitting with a squad of such inexperience its embarrassing ffs

PL took a gamble, embarked on a project an experiment and he needs to be held accountable for this sham!

05 Nov 2015 20:23:19
Enough is enough for me. A disgrace. We can't win a game in the Europa league. Wasn't so long ago we had were getting to the last 16 of the Champions League under strachan and Lenny. Going backwards and UNACCEPTABLE.

05 Nov 2015 20:16:36
Literally suffered through that _while_ lecturing to my class about Hamlet's demise (2 screen power-point trick) , but I'm no pleased.

"there's a special providence in the fall of a sparrow. If it be now, 'tis not to come; if it be not to come, it will be now; if it be not now, yet it will come: the readiness is all: since no man has aught of what he leaves, what is't to leave betimes? "

Ronnie must now tender his resignation. If he is rebuffed, the board need to immediately rectify the problem with first rate signings.

05 Nov 2015 20:54:35
Agree with somethings you say but we won't pay for another Manager and Ronnie will be here till at least the end of the season. For all the shouting on hear no one has even come up with a near credible name to take over the managers seat. Truely hacked off though!

05 Nov 2015 22:28:52
DesH Roy Kean is coming. You wait and see. Not sure if it's now or in January. I think it will be at end of EL campaign do when we finish last in group it will be easy to get rid with most supporters then wanting him to go, but DD wants Kean. PL didn't so now it will be DD turn and he will subsidise Keans wages.

05 Nov 2015 23:21:36
I don't think he deserves the sack; but I do wish he would offer to go with the dignity he has shown thus far: put the board in the jackpot: make them convince him he will be given options or thank him for his time. An honest bloke and a sincere effort - but not Celtic class whatever way you look at it.

05 Nov 2015 20:10:35
How demoralising was that to watch? Honestly never even flinched when molde scored. Only young Tierney gets pass marks. No point in having the same old rant after these European games. Enough is enough!

05 Nov 2015 20:09:05
Where do we go from here sack the board. It will be like this we will go back to beating all the rubbish of the day. Teams like Aberdeen st jonstone and ict. Teams that can't even beat part timers to get into competitions like this. And when we start doing this all will be forgotten again. Deluded people will tell us all how good the team is and how fit they look. Ronnie will be roaring and he will be a genius for the way he has turned round Neil lennons team. Well not for me. Yes there has been a massive lack of investment but he still has a team and players if managed properly that can take care of average teams like that. Even more importantly take care of Maribor and Malmö. The team is a total shambles whenever it's asked serious questions and that lies with the team management. So I will say this for the first time enough is enough Ronnie. Time to go. Your a nice man who conducts himself in the right way but you are struggling. I did t think we could see as bad as we seen in Malmö and molde but that was worse. celtic park is a traditional fortress tonight molde walked through the front door and could've left with anything they needed. And they did.

05 Nov 2015 20:05:21
Where to start I think it's fair to say that our expectations were lowered from the first few results. It wasn't the ability to score goals it was the lack of being a good football team that has really cost us. The edges of the dice we have rolled for years are now spherical and now I feel we are off the euro map.

05 Nov 2015 19:55:00
Held back untill now because of all the hype around him before the match! But it is clear as day that tom rogic is a poor footballer whom all our hope of progression going forwatd should not be placed upon.

05 Nov 2015 20:04:32
Think he could be a good player but takes far too many touches, one thing for sure if the young lads in the development squad are as hungry as tierney then we should b introducing them to the first team.

05 Nov 2015 20:24:57
Been a Ronnie supporter from day 1 but sorry to say he has lost it whatever it is. The team are rudderless and heading for wherever so a change at the top is required. I know some will blame the hierarchy but that team on the pitch tonight were useless. I've been reading lately about how good players like Bitton, Rogic are well who are we kidding they are run of the mill average players earning good money and delivering very little when faced with reasonable opposition. We've been fortunate or unfortunate if u like, that RIFC have given us some laughs for a while now but that has just meant us taking out eye off the ball for too long hence we are where we are!

05 Nov 2015 19:48:25
Make what you want of that guys, not 1 positive apart from the young lad Tierney.
Something has to give.

05 Nov 2015 19:58:40
Utterly demoralised tbh. Can't bring myself to even say anything, shambles.

As you say though Tierney was a credit to himself looked like the only one out there who gave a feck.

05 Nov 2015 19:39:19
Where do we go from here?

05 Nov 2015 19:49:44
Pickets 'R' Us.

Well for a start the manager should go! I came on here against my better judgement and willed this man to do well even after the molde game away and look what happens! Back to back defeats against a team who is 6th in Norway league! Tactically naive and clueless! He must go! He cannot be trusted in Europe again next season! We've went from CL football to European laughing stock! No more chances for this guy from me! Shambles! Make the change now and let a new manager bed in! Then let's here Lawell explain the decision to appoint this guy!

DH88, that's it for me RD is not cutting the mustard. He needs to go now.. My only concern is that if we do not get investment we will fail in Europe for the foreseeable future.

Abilty in abundance, but heartless.

I said at the start of the EL we would finish bottom of our group. I asked the Ronnie supporters what they would say then. Only got one response saying that wouldn't happen and we would qualify. So here we go again. Before the game Ronnie is saying we know what we have to do. We will win? Talks a good game but can't deliver. Bottom of the group. Just unacceptable.

05 Nov 2015 18:50:23
I'm sorry but this defending is a disgrace by the way! This just ain't good enough for our club! It's the same old naive tactics once again! For me Ronnie will never learn his lesson in Europe! I honestly hope for his sake that we come back from this! Back to back defeats to molde is unthinkable by the way! Forget the SPL! I'm talkin Europe here! This is shocking once again!

I think we still have a chance, but Dh88 you are Correct, the defense is Sh--! We need a Keeper as well. The manager has got the whole structure wrong again, where is the super fit, high pressing, intelligent football that we have been promised or the last 18 mths, TONIGHT WOULD BE A GOOD TIME TO DELIVER.

Malika give it a rest. This is what we have. No one is happy.

05 Nov 2015 18:36:09
Time for johannsen to be dropped by the way! Awful from the start of the season! He's a player that doesn't look interested to me! Give Allan his chance in there! On another note, our central defence is terrible by the way! I really don't know how these players keep making the same mistakes over and over again!

05 Nov 2015 18:52:28
The defence are mistake prone and it commanding. There so nervous on the ball and struggle with the absolute basics. It's almost comical.

05 Nov 2015 19:12:14
We can't seem to attack a player defensively without giving a foul or preventing a shot when it counts. Tierney has been doing his best and blacket looks terrified and out his depth in professional football. If we can keep busy up their end we might have a chance.

It's been perfect so far.

I'm beginning to think the problem is a psychological one. The players are playing within themselves and need to unlock this European psychological barrier that is up. Griffiths would have buried that 99/100 times in the spl. Never mind who the goalie is he didn't hit the target. The same applies to the defenders. The young LB is the best out he who back 4 and that's because he's playing with no fear and with courage. The rest could learn from him.

If what I have heard is true about the SPFL re examining all things to do with Cheaters Fc, is it not time the SFA did the exact same thing and even looked at one of their own employees holding a top job with them and now found guilty of receiving EBT's step forward Mr Ogilvie and tell us all when you intend to repay your fraudelent tax free payments.

05 Nov 2015 14:33:56
As much as I'd like to see that Tim, it's the employers responsibility to pay tax, not the employee, so I think it would be unfair to punish him.

05 Nov 2015 15:48:47
I have never trusted the SFA, SFL, SPL, SPFL or any guise the establishment adopt - especially where Rangers, Sevco, Newco or Oldco are involved and the fact that the tribute act are playing at a ground and training at a complex that should have been re- possessed or sold is all the proof I need to continue my scepticism.

05 Nov 2015 15:53:58
JB, anyone with any self respect or integrity would not hide behind their employer's responsibilities. oh, wait.

05 Nov 2015 17:14:41
Tiny Tim its the players responsibility is to pay their own tax probably through a company so the transaction is nothing at all to do with them. They have zero liability. Let's not muddy the waters. The blame lies with David Murry and the Directors at that time. Now if Murry has taken written advice depending on the strength of that advice he may also be off the hook. However it absolutely depends on the advice he received in writing. If there is any warnings on the advice he may be liable personally so would other Directors for the "duscrepancy". If one of the top tax companies put in writing he is 100% legal and if HEctor comes after him he can go after the company that gave him advice. So the issue is with the Rangers Board 100%. Now why are HMRC going after a company that is now liquidated? They either want the assets that were sold to Whyte for £1.00. They can try and claim that Murry sold them off to escape the liability for the tax scam. It is no coincidence that this tax case has come back at the same time Green and co, the eventual owners of the assets are in court. HMRC are not spending money chasing nothing. They are going after Ibrox, Murry Park etc. You wAit and see. once ownership us established the fireworks will start.

Hopefully with Biton signing a new deal. Rogic looking to sign one and the vast improvements in those players Griffiths and emergence of Tierney and hopefully Simunovic. We are starting to see what Deila was brought in for. Hearing Rogic speak about his injuries it sounds like he knew he would always get his chance. It makes you question the attitude of certain players Scepovic Boeriggter Watt and even Stokes when they haven't even been given a chance. Time now to get rid of anyone whose attitude isn't right and continue building.
