The scary thing was he did get offered a new deal but knocked it back! Says a lot about the clowns running the club! But totally agree, good riddance to him! Never rated him.

I actually do know he cancelled his sky lol. Believe it or not. But my mate works for them and said the whole floor was chatting about it. I dismissed it as there's probably more cartoons on Virgin hence the swap. But there u go. U know how these stories can grow but apperntly said he would have to move to his new place before phoning them back. I apologise as it's crap but actually true lol.

I have this image in my head of Rodgers being named soon and ed in like a big sports coat with a big cigar quoting Alan partridge "am I right? " And we're all "you're not wrong". I am not actually fussed who we get as long as they play the celtic way. And please two strikers. Not because I used it in FIFA and fm and won countless titles (winks) but because I always feel if the one striker is having an off day the other one can dig out a goal at least. Relying on one is too big a gamble especially with the new co now among us. Just my humble opinion. Great site mate. Can't wait for the summer and wade through the fletcher finboggason rumours for something that excites me. Hail hail.

Big efe changed the game today just a shame it wasnt for the better but hey still won! As for the ref next time he gets a celtic game the players should just walk off pitch at kick off blatantly obvious how much he hates celtic i reckon one of our players will be seriously injured with him as ref bcoz some of those tackles that went unpunished today were brutal.

Believable3 Unbelievable3

08 May 2016 19:10:02
Football is turning in to a game for pansies if you think today was brutal I saw players getting stuck in competing I didn't see the physio on the pitch dealing with brutal challenges or maybe I missed them and the stretchers🤔.

Agree1 Disagree1

08 May 2016 19:24:23
To be fair? Efe's booking I though was very hard to say the least . He got the ball and the Aberdeen player collided with him! The Roberts megs their player and is obstructed? Yes ref was poor.

Agree2 Disagree1

08 May 2016 19:29:19
You at the wind up some of the challenges madden waved play on at were out of order i don't mind the hefty challenges when both team get the same treatment from the ref but with madden letting some bad challenges go will only encourage the other team to tackle as they please till one of our players are seriously injured.

Agree4 Disagree1

08 May 2016 19:45:40
I am just still trying to work out when Efe came on does that give the opposing team a boost or do we just c*** ourselves that much waiting on him making a mistake?

Agree0 Disagree2

08 May 2016 20:07:30
How many times was the physio on dealing with brutal challenges? i'd much rather watch teams play like that and get on with it rather than watch players play dead only to suddenly recover after play has been stopped. Give me a competitive edge any day of the week.

Agree0 Disagree1

08 May 2016 20:10:48
Think it's a mixture of both tony! I've honestly never seen a defence go from coasting to terrified so quickly in my life! It just amazes me that here we are after years of this half wits mistakes and we're still talking about him! The worst defender I've seen in my time supporting the hoops! Pathetic exuse for a footballer!

Agree1 Disagree2

08 May 2016 20:34:32
The Patrick Roberts one was never a penalty for me and Ambrose challenge although he got the ball was by the current standards classed as reckless. There was only a few instances for me of bad decisions but all the people round me were screaming at him for stuff that was nothing like a foul. The same people were also screaming "snap that c£&t in half and DOOO HIIMMMMM! Morons.

Agree0 Disagree2

08 May 2016 21:04:26
Efe played a great pass for our third goal, then our midfield went missing. Their first goal had nothing to do with him Celtic had a break and Biton passed it right to the Aberdeen player, we lost the middle of the park again! In the second half. Efe and Erik were poor for the second goal when they couldn't mark the Aberdeen players from the free kick which from where I was sitting didn't look like a foul in the first place. it was the same old problems today fortunately we won't be seeing them again next year.

Agree1 Disagree1

08 May 2016 22:34:55
Efe was not on the park when we scored the third goal Grout.

Agree0 Disagree1

08 May 2016 23:06:54
He was Tony he sliced a pass to McGregor

Agree0 Disagree0

09 May 2016 10:46:19
There's no doubt Ambrose causes panic in our defence and can be relied on to make a blunder or two, usually caused by over-confidence or casual play; however we had a surplus of sand-dancers in midfield today who continually lose possession, give the ball away and are far too soft in a tackle. Any team with a physical presence or a bit of pace has caused us problems all season.
This Celtic team lacks ball-winners, guile and fight and at 3-0 previous sides would have shown a ruthless streak.

Agree0 Disagree0

09 May 2016 12:06:07
Mcgregor Biton and Ambrose were all guilty of sloppy mistakes that nearly cost us a goal. Biton was punished and a sloppy tackle then defending the free kick was punished he got away with another though and Mcgregor got away with one as well. This was all down to them not being able to pass a ball. Brown has been guilty of this too often too. These players are meant to be protecting our goal not putting it under pressure. The 4-2-3-1 is ineffective if your 2 DM pass to the opposition. That is why we need proper DM playing there and not a makeshift CM with no strength to hold a player off.

Agree0 Disagree0

09 May 2016 21:37:19
Its certainly no surprise that Efe appears to have lost some confidence that affects his over-all performance, the abuse from people who call themselves Celtic fans from the stands and the abusive writings by people who certainly don't support Celtic on Celtic forums certainly don't do anything to build support.
Even yesterday when we clinched 5 in a row what fans were giving him and Johanson in particular was grossly wrong. Stewards should have removed these loudmouths.

Agree0 Disagree0

08 May 2016 17:54:33
Came in from the game, had my tea, then watched the match on tv (Mrs T had taped it) what I found most telling was the after match interviews when Deila was asked directly if he had improved the team, he did not answer, then his other comment summed this clown up perfectly, he said the team were "nervous" when 3-1 up, ye Gods, playing at home with a massive crowd behind him, the league title all but guranteed and he says they were "nervous" that is what Deila has brought to Celtic a bunch of nervous players scared to make a mistake.

Believable5 Unbelievable10

08 May 2016 18:04:02
I don't see what is wrong with him saying that I think you are been severely over critical and just wanting to take pop's at Rd just for the sake of it if they where that bad we wouldn't have won today.

Agree5 Disagree2

08 May 2016 18:12:36
Of course they were nervous! He put efe on! Our own players are reluctant to pass to him . Big Eric was marking ambrose all second half :)

Agree4 Disagree1

08 May 2016 18:27:23
Have to agree timalloy very worrying how many off these players adopt the invisjbility cloak when things go even slightly awry, all well and good bringing in young players but you have to balance it with a couple of old experienced players to act like glue and bond them together that to my mind was deila's biggest mistake, that and the fact he wasn't a strong enough character to go to lawwell and demand the money for those type of players, this criticism has to apply also to Collins and Kennedy who could also see what the problems were but lacked the conviction to seek to have it rectified, the new man will have to hit the ground running and take some difficult decisions almost before he gets his coat hung up, can not gamble again on yes men like the 3 there now, time to get in a leader who actually leads, deila's 2years could take a lot more than that to put right.

Agree2 Disagree3

Timalloy I have moaned for nearly two years about rd, today me and my youngest son couldn't make today's game as he was playing in the Peterborough league tournament just missed out on a semi but recorded the Celtic match, when getting home watched the game same old Celtic under rd and not surprised with his comments, but I will say this I will remember rd as a the nicest manger in my life at Celtic, but as nice just wasn't good enough simple as that, but my 12 year of old was more excited than me that it was done and dusted we are champions why ain't you celebrating dad he said and when I really thought he was right good bye to rd thanks for your help at going for ten, two belongs too you, roll on the next 5 , I lived through the cheat years and r s might not be pretty under rd but he did the job and I'm now listening to Charlie and the boys and booked tomorrow off, so what I'm trying to say is iv been as poised off as you big fella but pick a glass up and celebrate we are champions, the next season is a different chapter in are history but that is then this is now so too all tims out ther hail hail, enjoy the moment.

Chris30 To tell you the truth none of the names in the frame would be my first choice in an ideal world I would push the boat out and bring in Rui Vitoria, but were we are today, I would say to a punt with moyes and round, not cheap Option I understand but what we need at this time, experienced, worked abroad, and has been involved in Europe, most of all would sort out the dressing room, and command their respect first doors.

Agree with most of that Connolly , Ronny's biggest failing was he was too nice a bloke , from the minute he agreed to take the job and told who his assistants would be and accepted it the writing was on the wall. On the bright side I truly believe we have a talented bunch of players (with a few obvious exceptions) who this season have only performed at the bare minimum for various reasons e.g playing a system not comfortable with, continually playing out of form and injured players and imo a split dressing room , with all that we still won the league relatively comfortably. Would like to see a management team come in that first of all command respect but just as importantly they ALL have a likeability factor.

Agree0 Disagree1

08 May 2016 20:17:07
Exactly mate we are champions yep it not been great under RD ill admit that but hopefully the board can get right man remember it's ok saying if we get Moyes or Rodgers we got a good manager but would still need to convince good players to come to spl Iam no expecting world class players but I reckon Moyes and Rodgers got more chance getting good players to sign for us than lennon has but honestly can't see Moyes or Rodgers taking it bit hopefully Iam wrong.

Agree0 Disagree1

08 May 2016 20:42:14
Fair post Connolly.

09 May 2016 03:50:17
another boring rant about Ronny by timalloy some people on here need to take of the green tinted specs to say that it is all Ronny's fault that our defence are bottle merchant's is way off the mark it's been a problem for a long while before Ronny got here why not just wish the guy well and save your bitterness for the next non Celtic minded manager.

Agree0 Disagree1

09 May 2016 21:50:01
Some people think P L is really stupid . These idiots think that a strong manager and assistants would have embarrassed Lawwell into releasing funds for a particular player. Surely it wouldn't take a genius to know that Lawwell is wise enough to not appoint " strong characters" who will cause him problems down the line.

I was saying to my old man at the game, it's a shame that he's so prone to mistakes because he's a guy who always gives his best and doesn't hide and that's something we've really lacked this season, players willing to take responsibility and lead.

Kevbhoy the guy a bombscare mt wee Erik was crusing at back today then he comes on puts us on backfoot and it no first other cb that has played with him that has to try and do his and he's own job when efe plays, they're probably is a player in him but he just been woeful for us mate.

Looking forward to the game today, for one thing the atmosphere should be better with a 50,000+ crowd which I think will help lift the players.
I also want to say some posters on here still playing the "poor Deila card" and "give him a good send off" this tim says NO NO NO, the sooner this clown is away the better, he has set us back 2 years.
Next season, hopefully with a manager who knows what he is doing the team will be much better. I think, no I know, that Celtic have underchieved this year under Deila, and with a couple of shrewd signings, a clearing of the deadwood and getting the best out of the players from this season who remain I am confident of a good season, which in my eyes is a minimum 2 trophies League and a cup preferably Scottish cup, entry into the group stages of CL, and if I dream, maybe even further in CL after Christmas.

Timalloy if you know anything about club, you would understand blame lies solely with one person PL.

You obviously were happy to putter below expectations for previous 4 years under Lennon cause where he was born and fitting celtic minded chat.

Agree4 Disagree3

08 May 2016 15:46:36
We underachieved under lennon domestically in my opinion Timalloy, iam no saying Neil never done anything good as manager but a lot a shite times under him especially in cups, closet we've come to winning a treble was last season and we were robbed by a referee n linesman. Aye I think it time for a change think job was too big for Ronnie but hate to be a broken record here there's more people at the club they need to take blame PL the the prime suspect for trying to do stuff on the cheap, certain players in my opinion shouldn't get to pull on jersey again Forrest and Commons especially, I will say the manager been at fault with he's tactics and of course he picks the players to go out on pitch but I wish him all the best. I don't know know if it was my eyesight but didn't see Commons celebrating with team in dressing room I know he was on pitch at end plus never seen Forrest at all and that's why I don't want Neil back because I think he'll keep these guys at celtic park they should have been chased both of them and possibly some more. Anyway enough of the negativity 5 in a row hail hail still the best team in Scotland☘☘.

Tim who would your preferred choice for manager be?

Agree0 Disagree0

08 May 2016 17:02:58
Campsie Bhoy I posted on rumours page a couple of days ago I would like Di Matteo with Steve Clark as coach.
DN30 where on earth did you read anything about Lennon in my post, I was solely talking about deila who has set the club back years. Yes I also know Lawwell and Park have contributed massively to our poor form as well as Ronnie.
By the way I was never a big Lennon fan but at least he gave us some good times to look back on and brought the fans back on side. This clown deila has alienated most of the fans, even today the fans were very flat at times as was the atmosphere, all down to deila.

Agree0 Disagree4

08 May 2016 17:46:47
Agree way Clark as a coach but RDM as manager no sure about that, I never seen anything you mentioned about lennon in your post but your saying Deila was dragging us back aye agree but Iam just saying we were going back the way under previous manager aswell and Iam no saying you've said you want Neil back but I can't understand why a lot of celtic fans would want him back but RDM as manager strange 1 there but your opinion and would love to hear your reasons mate.

Agree0 Disagree1

08 May 2016 08:36:29
Celtic need to put a manager in place who demands respect. A figure who is able to make tough decisions not someone who hides behind tactics, shapes and systems. All that rubbish has ruined football.

I think we have seen a few honest teams this season play proper winning football both clubs play hard old style stuff.

I hope Athletico Madrid clean up in Spain. And win the Champions league. Clubs like Leicester City have proved that fans make the team play get the crowd on side anything can happen.

The Daily gutter rags up here put punters off before a ball is kicked in paradise. Celtic deserve a blue chip gaffer they tell you the club are penny pinching.

Scottish football is what it is like it or lump it Roy Keane, Brendan Rodgers, And Davy Moyes won't make it any better all the best managers we have had apart from Martin O'Neill were products of the Scottish game and in my opinion he wouldn't have won much without The # 7

The only Candidate who cares for the club has the desire and tools to make it work and cares as much as Tommy Burns is Neil Francis Lennon get him in back him and we will be fine Hail Hail.

Believable1 Unbelievable13

08 May 2016 09:29:50
The reason why they won the league down south imo and I'm sure ranieri said it was because he learned over the years to play to a players strength and not tactics and formations it's why football has become a bit boring and stale all these teams just playing not to get beat rather than to entertain the fans.

Agree1 Disagree1

08 May 2016 11:07:47
Totally agree Gordo, it is only common sense to play to your player strenghts rather than trying to get players to fit your system, the kind of madness that Ronnie tryed to inflict by playing players out of position, to fit his system, is almost certifiable, if he wanted to inflict a crazy system on the players, he should have done it gradually, easing players in or out to fit their abilities.

Agree2 Disagree2

08 May 2016 14:48:49
Now that the league is officially won and RD has been allowed the moment of glory I am guessing that things will move quickly this week on the manager front.

No he doesn't hide behind tactics and systems its agents and gagging orders, why would we want Lennon and all his baggage anywhere near us again. Yes the abuse his family and himself suffered was nothing short of horrendous but so was some of the stuff that he did but people think it's okay to turn a blind eye too. The "senior" players that would like Lennon back are the same ones that need moved on and caused the problems for RD. Lennons had his time and wanted out for pastures new what's changed for him to come back? Would be a massive step back to appoint him.
