Had we not fucked up the SC final and got into Europa league not so bad, but we didn't. Massive pressure on our board to deliver on some promises No..a disaster was where we were 4 years ago. They should be miles ahead of us.. they're not. Keep a wee bit of perspective. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gaz52 11,837 Posted August 23, 2016 Share Posted August 23, 2016 Rodgers believes in duds like Forrest, Brown, Janko etc. Plus Dembele doesn't look like the world beater he's made out to be, he's a powerful runner but his finishing seems to be a bit wayward. Sinclair was anonymous and lightweight tonight when the going got tough. They're a pretty weak side that aren't unbeatable, yes they're in a better position but we need to believe we can make it awkward for these cunts and they will start to crumble, the Celtic way Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

We have spent minimal amounts building a team that will compete for the long term. Rodgers is a chequebook manager and a shite one at that. As already mentioned they should be miles ahead of us considering what we've been through the last few years. Fuck the tims. Our future is bright no matter what's happening over at the tattiedome. Time to concentrate on ourselves again. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

He can also do some great tackles off the ball. Barton also just passes the ball, he doesn't run with it much and doesn't do anything fancy. Knows what man he's passing it too before getting the ball, gets the ball and passes it. Which I can appreciate, just a good bit of directness and as we've seen with Niko, it's a huge benefit. He does have some proving to do, but I think we'll see a bit of brilliance (or horror) at the old firm. People know he's a wind up merchant and will happily take shots at him, thus giving us free kicks. We keep possession and so on. Another pleasing part of his game is the number of chances we create from his tackling/breaking up of the play. A few times he's made some fantastic crunching tackles, laid it off and we've went up the park and created clear goal scoring chances, which has already resulted in us scoring. His lack of pre season, not being in the US, and not having 'normal' pre season friendlies hasn't helped his integration and match fitness IMO. That's not an excuse but I think we will see him get better and better as the season goes on. As I said though, I think he's been okay so far. The old firm game will certainly be an eye opener.......... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

In saying that he might find that the English style of play we employ is easy to walk into. He's making progress that's a certainty. I could see a few yellow cards depending on the Ref.

The Mailman 330 Posted August 23, 2016 Share Posted August 23, 2016 Honestly couldn't give a flying fuck that they qualified, would rather they didn't but fuck them, our success this season will be determined by us, not them and how much money the have.

Think i'd be more worried about Handsome than Joey losing the nut. I think Joey's days of losing the nut are long gone (he says!). He's already been done a few times this season and took it like a man. He's defo grown up these past few years. He will defo rile and wind up legoheid though........
