    Even worse that the only highlights on the field were in July & August respectively....promised much and has just been down-hill since then.

    I stopped reading at that point.. Rogne was signed as potentially a first team player and not a mainstay in the defence for the remainder of the season.. He has played about 150 minutes of football for Celtic in which time we haven't conceded any goals.. He's been first to the ball when he's been challenged for headers and he's cleared his lines well , and he looks a threat when attacking crosses at the other end.. Thompson wasn't even considered as a first team player for this seaosn and has done well.. At least he wins the majority of headers as that's what defending requires.. His distribution has been suspect , but due to not getting Ramis or St Ledger in January and not having a fit Hooiveld in the team we've had to use Rogne , O'Dea and Thompson more than should have been done... I don't think there's much blame to be thrown around about using the patched up centre of defence due to circumstances out of TM's control.. A manager identifies players he wants and then it's upto the board to get them..

    i really want to back the big man because hes had a tough time of it , its true hes been unlucky but alot of this mess he brought on to himself with silly decisions regarding subs and formations , but lets see how we end the season that means closing the gap abit between us and rangers that includes winning the last old firm game and stopping the treble by winning the scottish cup, and for once i want to see a bit of determination from the management and players but after yesterday i wouldn't hold my breath

    I just hope TM and Peter Lawell get together and take thier complaints about the standard of refereeing where they need to. No doubting Celtic have been very poor this season, and TM is responsible for that. But the decisions which have cost us vital Old Firm point will show that we potentially could have been level, or ahead if refereeing decision did not influence the OF games.Therefore, I say yes....back him and review the situation in January.

    Cmon lads let all stick together, and we can fight off the scummy establishment! :50:

    I say no. His choice of subs on the whole have really annoyed me alot. Some really bad decisions which defy logic.

    Someone with sense. Totally agree fair enough if we dont see the results we are looking for by next christmas then for me thats the time to change and it would also still give the new man adequate time. But I hope it does not come to this as I am still optimistic.

    What is the point if he doesn't do well in this years cup and continues to lose games this season why should we give him more money and then sack him. Then a new manager will want to change the squad.

    We should change either now or at end of season if downward spiral continues because I can't beat a 3 or 4 in a row with a rangers team who are skint and not bought anyone for 18 months

    Do u honestly think Mowbray will go on and win leagues and cups and someone like mark Hughes or Paul lambert would not do a better job.

    Mark Hughes what makes you think he would win anything, I always liked the thought of Lambert in there with hitzfield but again what has he won, we have had people on here moaning that all Mowbray done was win promotion to the epl which he done at a canter. I hope Mowbray does go on to leagues and cups, I would just like to see him get a fair crack, dont get wrong if things dont improve by next season Ill be the first one on this forum moaning.

    Lawwell won’t allow him to leave as I think it took £4 mill to bring him Venus and Grant to ph,and we all know what the board feel about money. And what if a new manager has the same outlook ie,it’s not my team i want to buy 10 new players ?. But the reality is who the * would want to mange Celtic ? a post that would have once tempted/attracted some of the best managers in Europe last season was down to Coyle, Martinez and Tm. With all due respect “who the * are they “, the simple truth is Lawwell ( the board ) want someone they can control, somebody used to working within a set budget ( small one ) and most importantly won’t ask the forbidden words , “ please sir I want some more “. So I don’t blame him he was 3 rd choice for the job.

    Yes, although the league is gone and it's extremely hard to take I'm just looking for signs of improvements over the remainder of the season, if we get that and consistently put in performances then we can build on it for next season.

    Big if though but I'm still willing to wait and see if we get those signs of improvement we are all looking for.

    No. I have to be cruel to be kind. If I am being totally honest with myself
    I feel Mowbray dozen't have the hardness and street savvy he needs to be
    successful in the SPL and beyond.

    We need a hard nosed pragmatist and intuitive manager who has his finger on the pulse of everything to do with the Club, and who has steel balls to stand up to the Hun establishment, and beat them at their own game.

    Mowbray has got to go now, that way a new man can be given some time to re-build towards next season (coz this season is well and truly *!!). I'm not sure how TM attempts to inspire a celtic dressing room but to me the guy is a * zombie, he's passionless and in way over his head. Get him out now and let's get this * mess sorted.

    Hail Hail

    With 35% of our team here on a short-term basis, what's the point? We'll have sign new players to replace them and build yet again.



    Why can't people just admit the Mowbray experiment has failed big-time? He's took the club backwards, knocked the confidence of every player, annoyed the fans, doesn't look interested, failed in Europe, timid cup exit, lost at Killie for the 1st time in 1000 years and his constant absurd substutitions are among the worst I'v ever seen from any manager.



    He just simply has to go as a lot of fans won't be renewing with him in charge next season, the board will know that and act on it.

    To be fair, that's a pretty good post.

    I've tried to be positive, but the fact is that we have failed to win more than 3 games on the bounce all season - in a league as * as the SPL, that is a crime.

    We could debate it all day long as reasons why he should stay or go , or how long is long enough before a manager has to go.. Some managers have a goal from day one which isn't short term and to reach that goal they don't go out of their way to please people , and they stick to the same goal as they know it will eventually come to fuition.. You can't prove it won't happen for him and I can't prove it will happen..
    Neither of our opinions are going to change anything..
