    Sammy's general play is miles ahead of skippy's, he doesn't have the same goal scoring natural ability though - but more than makes up for it with his 1st touch, running ability, attitude & he does also scores goals too.

    Mowbray can't be held in account for players making mistakes, it causes him much more concern than it does us I bet.

    End of the day, we let in 2 goals & Caldwell tackled a man from behind in the penalty box...how long has that rule been in place?....10 years?

    You might be right. Or you might be talking *. Over to you, justice - justify these views. I'm ready to be converted

    Are you wrong? Yes you are.

    I knew as soon as we lost another game the old 'Mowbray's not a winner' * would come out again. Sorry, but yesterday's defeat had zilch to do with Tony Mowbray. Aiden McGeady tried a stupid header, Glenn Loovens went to sleep and the whole complexion of the match was altered. Having said that, even with 10 men we were still the better team so Tony Mowbray must have done something right in the way he set his team up.

    * me off the way Mowbray gets the flak when it's numb-nutted defending that is costing us dearly. Loovens is *, McManus is * and Caldwell's not much better. That ain't Tony Mowbray's fault. If Tony Mowbray brings in a new centre-back in January and he turns out to be no use then that will be the time to criticise. For the moment, give the man a chance.

    Blantyre Bhoy your view on the two strikers is 100% correct and if BTM lets it fester much longer we are finished as an attacking force.We must get centre backs in NOW.Then sort they two schoolboys out.

    Would you say skippy is celtic class ?

    And as for mowbray not been a winner is a bit harsh , he did after all win the championship which is a harder and better leauge than the spl , he also came 3rd with hibs which is basically winning to teams outside the old firm

    Missed the first half, stuck in traffic. But samaras never cost us the 3 points & if you think that then your wrong. Problem is our leaky defence & there is no fight back in the team. If we go a goal down in a game, it takes us a good 30-40mins to recover & actually look like scoring. First goal wins in the old firm showdown!

    In all competitions this year.

    Skippy: 13 goals - 3 assists
    Samaras: (less minutes played) 12 goals - 4 assists (Greedy Greek?).

    Whenever celtic lose, even though Samaras scored/played very well, it is his fault. Not Skippy's for doing * all. But Samaras's/ Not Caldwell for costing Celtic another game? But Samaras. Not Loovens... Samaras - and maybe Tony! These threads are a disgrace.

    Skippy was the right choice to take off, he has been blowing out his * for weeks and his contribution to the cause equates to moaning at Samaras every time he doesn't score. I think it's went beyond just being a moany faced little * now to actually being a negative presence in the side. Our 2 form strikers just now are Samaras and Fortune and those are the 2 I'd start in the next game.

    Sadly thats where the buck stops though, if the team arent performing its the managers that need to go. I would give him to January and if at the end of the month we are any more than 7-10 points behind the shame I would say get someone new in

    He could be a shout, although I would leave that until the time to speculate to be honest :50:

    Lol... he was being facetious with that response. No way in * we get Mark Hughes. Remember all the wild candidates people had in mind after Strachan and MON? What makes you think magically we are going to start spending in that upper bracket of top managers?

    Because we need scapegoat after every bad result. This time it's Mowbray. * forbid we don't win against Huns, server will be down due to number of "Mogga out" threads.

    After our recent form and the way we have been playing then I think Mogga deserves until the end February at least. Then we can look at where we are in the league and who we have signed.

    However if we get beat by the huns and go 7 behind then it may be time for him to go. A lot depends on that game.

    Yes, because nobody has ever come back from 7 points back in the winter to win the title.......... except the last two years in a row.
