    than 3 playing like the huns

    lennon i wish you were still playing in that team

    an i hope scott brown mans up and learns to be a real celtic captain, as one poster said on here he talks the talk but doesnt walk the walk

    where the * is our youth system if half the youth team is getting let go?

    time to go back to basics, kayal and emilio are gems but buying abroad is not the future

    and for * thinking im over reacting, listen i still think we'll win the league but 9 months of hard work where potentially lost in 90 mins

    unacceptable, by any means neccasry and i hope lenny learns, stop doing a MON impresionation and sticking by players who dont deserve it

    im 100% sure lenny gave his best team speech of the season ahead of the ICT game and thats hows they react? Bottlers doesnt describe it
    we need men, he picked Maloney to win that game and im sorry he bottled it, just like he did at Villa, lack of height is no excuse
    where the * is heid, mcmanus, robson win you need um
    rant over keep the faith but we all know those other hun-light will roll over

    couldnt care less about the celtic way tbh, winning the title is so much more important. il take dodgy decisions all the way till the end if it means we win it. Rangers are a crap team but they have a good manager who knows the scottish game inside out. Will be glad to see the back of him.

    Difference between what they * do and any other way.

    Did Strachan do it the Celtic way? THink you'll find that most Celtic fans will say no.
    The Celtic way apparantly means good, attractive football. In most cases I wll agree, football should be played well and entertaining. But right now I would take boring 1-0 win every game for this title. If we lose this title (which is looking more likely) then aye I'd rather play drab and win.
    See the huns don't just play *, boring drab football. THey also get away with murder, staff and fans.

    At this point in the season useless hyperbole about "tradition" means * all. It's nice to set your stall out at the beginning of the season to try and play a certain brand of football but we had 4 games left, we now have 3 and we should have done everything possible to win them, and we would have been champions. Now we have to rely on the best of the rest of the country to make Rangers drop points. I'd rather we won that Caley game and the next three 1-0, thus winning the title on our own, than win the next three 3-0 and then Rangers dropping points. We're only getting the title by default now if we do finish top, because Rangers will have lost it like we did in 05.

    I hope to * your kidding, i couldn't bear to watch us for 4-5 years playing quality football then falling at the final hurdle then watching they * lift the title, ofcourse we want to see our team playing good but id take the title if it meant playing ugly in the games needed. Think of the clubs financial decline losing out on the title year after year.

    I was as depressed as any one else on Wednesday night and I will be if this season doesn't take another turn. But I am proud of the way that Celtic try to play football. Sometimes I just think the parks here are not suited to it at all and hey, sometimes it just doesn't come off but I hope we never stop aspiring to play beautiful football.

    you'se have misunderstood my point

    take that st pauli post in the forum. they st pauli fan basically said were the good guys, rangers are right wing racist * who win like thier fans look, ugly

    but this is my point, we play good football but we are too NICE. articles like that spread the myth. i want to win play football but be nasty. LOOK AT BARCALONA. diving all over the place against madrid, doing whtever it took to win. we are not going to out physical rangers, not with * like elbows (mcclullogh) and whitaker in the team. we need to lie, cheat and steal our way to the title, just like rangers has done this season. i stil,l think a team will do us a favour this season. but we have too many nice guys like maloney, ki and mccourt in the team. we need to get * mean on these *

    when hartson, sutton, balde was in the team that rangers team shat it, we need to find the right mix between footballers and 'inforcers', its a * word for it but u know what i mean

    thats how im * critical of Brown, bar a few games when he came back he's been *. he's got the ability to grab the game by the scruff of the neck but he doesnt, he hides, and its unacceptable

    we need more local or irish players to install that cos if your looking at mercanarys like big dan, carear journeyman who dont know whit it means then we wont win any big games anytime soon

    Lets lose 10 in a row! It doesn't matter because I'd rather not win the title unless we win it by playing good football!

    and i just cant seem tooo get eeee-nuff !
    We need to win no matter how we play. Rankers never * WIN te league. Celtic * give it to them ! They havent been better than us this season not by a furlong. Maloney can get to *. I was screaming myself into a coma watching him against ict. Lennon made ridiculous subs. Claiming hooper an stokes gave very little.. Because the had * all service !! Maloney should of been hooked for mcourt imo. Murphy looked determined but would of let stooper stay on for longer. Despite.. Still 100% behind NL.

    There's only one type of football and that's winning football, attractive play is all well and good but nothing beats the feeling when you land the big prize at the end of the season :shamrock:

    I think in MON we had a guy who very quickly realised that a mix of power, pace, strengt, experience, game intelligence with a reasonable amount of skill (but nothing too fancy) is the way to win the SPL. Strachan we had a guy who could not afford thee player quality but he was very tactically clever, cynical and had no illusions about SPL opposition, SPL pitches etc having played in one of the best ever SPL sides. He often picked teams to counter pitches and opposition and although he got criticised when occasionally it didnt work, noone can match the guys SPL title win rate. No Celtic way nonsense crossed WGS and MON's minds. I personally think there is a pattern of losing when we attempt to play a more pretty game and managers who stress style- Tommy, Barnes and Mogga.
