Well I've heard it all now! "It's not results that are to blame for the pressure on me. It's the media" I'm sorry RD but it's very much the results and probably more so the performances! Don't worry about what the media write just concentrate on your job, that's If your given to fix it!

The media has a big part to play, I'm sure all other Celtic managers would agree.

Another load of absolute garbage from this guy! No it's your embarrsing European campaigns that have put u under pressure, Nobody else! And one of the worse performances I've seen from a Celtic team on Saturday has added to that! Honestly the more I hear from this guy the more I'm convinced he isn't up to this job! And while in know way do I agree with putting out idiotic petitions for him to be sacked, that's not the way fans should be acting! I just feel things will never improve under his stewardship!

The media do play a part but you don't admit it at this point without looking terrible.

Whatever he says he's going to be criticised.

Every time I see Ronny it kills me because he is the salt of the earth and nothing is self motivated! The problem is we are not improving, even slightly! Lawwell disgusts me, purely because he is an intelligent guy and has been winging it for years! If it was anything else we would walk away but he knows the fans are obsessed so just gives us his platitudes every few months! My problem with Ronny is he thinks every player is brilliant, he loves Stokesy, loves Mulgrew, loves Broony even more. Darren McGregor is brilliant, Boyata is about to be brilliant, Ambrose is 1 mistake away from being world class, - young Teirney is going to be the next Maldini - why do we lose every big game? The players have no character, and not much ability, and if we played Molde tomorrow I think we'd lose, so is Ronny delusional, I honestly don't know, something doesn't add up that's for sure. I think it could be worse, we could have McNamara or Coyle, it could also be better, there are plenty of options out there - even me, Ed, DN, JimTim and JohnnyMac could find him!

Cmcbhoy if he turned round and said I accept certain results have been poor and performances haven't been up to scratch and we are striving to rectify this! I'm sure fans would accept this rather than trying to deflect the obvious failings on the media.

Even listening to Scott Brown there, what sort of support is that, talk about half hearted - he thinks people are being harsh! Absolute chancers the lot of them! You would trust Scott Brown and Peter Lawwell as far as you could throw them!

Scott Brown has always been a mercenary and a money grabber, the exact reason he chose to sign for us and not Oldco because we offered him bigger wages, he hasn't changed a bit and I bet he can't believe his luck we were foolish enough to offer him a new one on decent money again. He would be playing for the likes of Charlton if he was lucky had we not gave him that contract and he knows where his bread is buttered.

On Ronny I'm completely finished with the guy, he's had plenty time up against no competition domestically or he shouldn't be anyway and is making hard work of it. Add in the £40-60M he's potentially cost us in money these last 18 months and he's been a complete financial disaster.

19 players signed under his stewardship and the only one with pass marks was Denayer who had real quality and that was a loan. Just not good enough.

Think brown talks just as much nonsense as RD! We've not played well since the start of the season but we're going to go unbeaten til the end of the season! It's only 1 game apart from the killie game! No sorry Scott it's not just one game! Where does this it's only one game against Motherwell pish come from honestly! We've been woeful in 90% of the games this season! Utter garbage from the boardroom to the changing room by the way! Theyr fooling no one either, as the rows and rows of empty seats at Celtic park on Saturday proves! And this I keep hearing from brown griffirhs and a few others, the fans should stick by Them! Give us something on the pitch to stand by for sake! disillusioned is understatement by the way!

Iceman, someone would still find fault with that. Why shouldn't he speak out about it? Half the time people are on here slating the media and then as soon as our manager (who you should be behind on this) speaks out its shocking. Have some consistency people. And as far as folk on slagging off brown and people making up petitions are not real Celtic fans or at least not the ones I know. They're the embarrassment to the club. Slagging brown because he's agreeing with the manager. Any excuse to have a dig at RD. Get a grip or "support" another team. Sorry for the rant but I'm sick of folk using anything as an excuse to get rid of the manager. Some of us still have faith in him including the players.

Well said cmcbhoy, it's getting ridiculously embarrassing with some of these 'supporters'. Any slight hiccup and they all come out the woodwork loving every minute of it. With a young inexperienced team, there's always going to be a few setbacks until it's right.

Celt for ever who appointed you as the sole arbitrator of the ability of Deila signings .
(19 signed under his stewardship and only one got pass marks )
Thankfully the club and board don't rely on your biased assessments .
Such lies about Scot Brown . I suppose you know him from the first day at nursery school. The fact that he has spent 8 years at Celtic and prevented his agent from tauting him to EPL championship teams where he could earn a hell of a lot more money than staying with us shows the stupidity of your remarks .

Deila was right to tell the truth about the SMSM, most Celtic Managers start off trying to win the SMSM over to their side but sooner or later our Managers realised that the SMSM are joint to the hips with Rangers and theSFA.

Gerrybhoy a few setbacks! U having a laugh? U can't be serious! What's that 10 or 11 games in EL without a win! 1st time ever we've finished a European league group stage winless! Put out the CL qualifiers 3 times in a year! 2 wins out of our last 8 games at home! A few setbacks, slight hiccup! Away and gies peace mate! Wake up and see what's in front of you! Did u by any chance witness that sh**e on Saturday! Don't gies this climbing out the woodwork garbage!

It reminded me of the time Kenny Dalglish reacted to media pressure - although we're not at the Bairds bar stage yet - and every Celtic has had this pressure, although some handle it and react to it better than others.
His interviews are usually grounded and honest, but the minute a manager points fingers the media will smell blood and the players and fans will lose confidence or respect.
The pressure will really increase if/when Aberdeen go top on Boxing Day and he stands in the dugout at swine castle and the team have another bad performance?

Jungle Jim2 I honesty hope you are wrong . I have the greater respect for the vast majority of Celtic fans, I recognise what I think is a small% of fans are gullible and easy led . Jim you say that the minute a manager points finger at media the fans will lose confidence and respect.
I believe this to be utter nonsense and think this will actually build confidence .

Thank God it's Christmas season, we won't laugh at the idiots that think the SMSM cannot affect the confidence of a football team . It nearly seems as a long a time as Batter was fiddling World Football since the SMSM has been building the confidence of Rangers and trying to destroy Celtic .
Then we have idiots who expected the SMSM to report and conduct investigative journalism into the Rangers cheating EBTs and the SFA assistance .
