Celtic banter 6

29 Apr 2024 10:59:01
Hey my friends Enrico think good win yesterday. This team is well drilled so Enrico think the bhoys handled it well.

Guys we need to go out and demolish the little Sevconian next week you know.

Have good days guys.

If the 4 remaining games, match the same scores from the corresponding fixtures earlier this season, Celtic will win the league by 2 goals.

We would go into the last match top only on more goals scored, with Sevco pulling back 3 points and 5 goals in our next 3 league games.

Sevco would then actually go top at half time in the last game of the season, after leading 1-0 at Tynecastle whilst Celtic were goalless at home to St. Mirren.

Similar to the 1982 season,
Celtic would score 3 second half goals against St. Mirren to win the league.
With Celtic winning 3-0 and Sevco only winning 1-0,
Celtic would win the league by 2 goals.

I hope Celtic win it easier than that,
I don't think I could cope with that drama.

Buzz did you notice also the "random fixture computer" has the sevvies playing BEFORE us in 3 of the games, another ploy to put pressure on our team.

29 Apr 2024 10:45:11
TIm; I think Sevco-SLY have a big influence on KO times and even more so when it could have a bearing on results.

29 Apr 2024 12:45:01
I think the SFA computer terminal is based in Ibrox .
If u think about it, that makes senses as everyone connected with the Scottish Referees Board are avid fans of the Ibrox club . They are in position to have the best Rangers2012 interests fully implemented every time a decision has to be made . Of course Willie Collum isn’t allowed to be present.

29 Apr 2024 08:13:53
Let's see who we get for the baby sevco team (officials) I'm going for Robertson with Muir on VAR. And I expect baby sevco to throw themselves about go over the top with tackles and be allowed to do so . There will be no lying down in this game watch how animated Naismith will be yet just stood there calmly at Hampden.

29 Apr 2024 08:41:12
Hearts will be play a lot better against Celtic than what they did against sevco, its what they do, Hearts will be right in the faces of the Celtic midfielders and try win that battle, the Celtic midfielders will have to stand up to everything that Hearts through at them, l also expect the Hearts players to fall to the ground dramatically to waste time, and the referee and linesman will help them, with them getting free kicks, Celtic don't have wingers that try and get past the defenders, so that will be a area that Hearts won't have a problem with.

We should have enough to beat the mini Sevconian at home. It's how little we control games that has become a huge worry.

I'd be starting with idah and iwata at the weekend. Iwata isn't perfect but he at least can break counter attacks down. With McGregor hatate and O'Reilly we look soft and rarely win the ball back.

We need to start taking our early chances. Our midfield has been non existent almost all season but they need to turn up now and just get this over the line.

29 Apr 2024 09:03:10
One thing for sure we will have to improve on yesterdays game and be much more clinical in attack, compete and control midfield and defend crosses at the back post a lot better than recently.
The points are paramount in all games, but if we can click into place all over the pitch it gives the team and support more confidence.

29 Apr 2024 13:06:14
Celtic like many teams don’t use their wingers to try to beat man on outside and cross big long crosses into box, as even if Kyogo was playing well he couldn’t get on to the end of them and get header on goal .
First half yesterday was a very good example of Kuhn creating danger by cutting in and he got a couple of shots on target and on many an occasion slipped the ball into vacant space behind left back and midfielders or A J got crosses in from good positions.
JF on the left wing wasn’t intending to take on RB when he scored a goal in each half . If we played Idah more maybe our wingers should take on full backs . But IMO BR isn’t going to make changes at this stage.

29 Apr 2024 08:07:48
3 Points is 3 Points But. Wow, what is going on with us as a team just now? Why are we so bad? I was at the game yesterday and it's amazing what you can see that you maybe don't pick up watching it on TV. Kyogo unfortunately just now is like playing with a man short and offers absolutely nothing upfront, The Dundee defenders never had anything to do until Idah came on.

If McGregor is fit then maybe he is starting to show that he is losing it, he shouldn't be anywhere near the starting 11 at present, and Iwata should be easily ahead of him.

You can also clearly see that Scales has ZERO confidence at the moment, guy is a bag of nerves. I don't blame him at this stage, I blame Rodgers for starting him. No way Nawrocki should be benched when Scales is in the form he is in.

We need to really up it between now and the end of the season Because if we continue to play like that we will drop points and throw away the title.

HH.

Very valid and you would think the manager sees the same problems as us. We are used to seeing Celtic teams pushing and flowing towards the finish, but we seem to be stuttering and stalling at times.
I can understand him not wanting to rock the boat with wholesale changes but needs must and a couple of tweaks could make all the difference, especially when a few players are struggling badly.

29 Apr 2024 09:45:35
It's Brendanball.

29 Apr 2024 11:02:19
Kyogo tends to be a passenger in most games, if he doesn't pop up with a goal he doesn't have any real impact in the game. Idah is a menace and gives the defenders a torrid time and should be given more minutes. Our press is non existent without Maeda leading the way, giving up easy possession. Maeda is brutal but so important to the way we have to play. Looking particularly at the last two games the midfield three failed to turn up against Aberdeen and only Hatate turned up yesterday, that's the main reason we are struggling to play well. McGregor i'm certain is not fit enough to play and we are just trying to get him through to the end of the season. Delighted to get the three points but every game we currently play we look like we could drop points.

29 Apr 2024 11:50:41
Kyogo works best when we have 2. Quick aggressive wingers / wingbacks that can cross. We haven’t had that in a while. Don’t know what’s happened to MOR 🙄.

29 Apr 2024 07:19:19
2 more wins should give us the title.

29 Apr 2024 09:00:25
If Celtic win our next 2 home games against Hearts and Sevco, it would take a miracle to stop us lifting the title. 👍.

29 Apr 2024 06:54:50
Poor performance same old story can't kill teams off but we got the points. but if we play like that till the end of the season we will get beat at some point. forrest must play till maeda is fit and calkum nay be fit but is well off it as is kyogo the Dundee cbs must have thought it was Xmas they had nothing to do till idah came on. kyigo needs a rest.

29 Apr 2024 09:06:44
In 34 league games this season,
Celtic have only conceded the 1st goal 6 times which is brilliant but our problem has not been able to finish teams off.

29 Apr 2024 01:26:01
If Ange actually gets over the line for 5th place with Spurs this season, will his EPL achievement be better than Rodgers TWO fifth place EPL finishes and FA CUP win with a very average Leicester side?

On the flip side, if we get rid of BR at the end of the season, as some are suggesting, is Jack Ross still in the running?

29 Apr 2024 02:06:47
Firstly, Ange's achievements aren't anywhere near what Rodgers managed with Leicester.
Secondly, the only way Rodgers will be leaving is if Dermot says so or if Rodgers quits which will never happen as he has mentioned on numerous occasions since he came back that he will be here for AT LEAST the 3 years of the contract that he signed.

29 Apr 2024 03:22:26
Who cares what Ange does in his career now.

29 Apr 2024 06:49:15
Jack Ross really 😭 brendan will be the manager next season.

28 Apr 2024 20:49:52
Of all the Rodgers displays this season that was the rodgersiest.

28 Apr 2024 22:45:20
This was a day that Celtic were better team for the greater part of the first half and only had a super strike from J Forrest giving us a one goal lead at the interval . Dundee piled on the pressure from the restart and it took us a full twenty minutes to lift the siege . Forrest pressurised Dundee on the end of their penalty area won ball and then took short pass and scored his 2nd .
Celtic struggled for most of 2nd half but they didn’t give up and kept going to end.

28 Apr 2024 19:55:24
THE most important thing was we won. Regardless of how we played BUT regardless of IF we win or lose the league its clear that we need MAJOR fixing this next window. A LOT of players need shipped out permanently but also we need 4 or 5 quality players brought in ATLEAST and we need them in quickly not at the end of the window IF we win the league we still need them in ASAP but I hope we can ship them out as quickly I can't see us bringing in 5 quality players but I would hope for atleast 3.

28 Apr 2024 20:50:18
Tony, I think that goes for both sides, will be very interesting to see what teams are named for the first game of the season.

28 Apr 2024 21:44:45
We need a new manager.

29 Apr 2024 00:04:48
Let us encourage and try to build confidence in our current squad . We can’t change personnel to after season is over . Everyone trying to encourage our players might help us to win double . It won’t do any harm for all our supporters especially those at the game to support and. encourage all our players in our last 4 SPL games and Cup final.

29 Apr 2024 02:09:52
No we don't aindoh, what we need is for the board to fully back the manager we have and get him the players that he wants for the system he wants to play.

28 Apr 2024 19:17:58
Another hard watch and again powder puff in midfield. We really need a couple of strong tough tackling midfielders.

Positive another win and another game down. Four more to go, but performances need to improve.

29 Apr 2024 00:07:05
We need 3 points in next 3 SPL games .
Improved performances and us dropping points would be no good to us.
