Ange Postecoglou

Yes, you are right. It was not the right spot to write this but it was in reference to Ange as well. Point taken.

 

Too many people in the EPL knocking on Ange's door. Stay at Celtic Ange and be happy.

 

No. Rogic wanted to move on and try a new challenge, he said as much himself. In truth he probably wanted to leave last summer but Ange coming in convinced him to stay another year. O'Riley was brought in, in the January window because the club knew Rogic would be leaving.

 

He is already planning for next season his own comments they can knock he won’t answer

 

Ange will defo do another season at Celtic.
100%

 

It is astonishing how good he and his scounting team has been. I have never seen anything like it.

 

Hopefully we get a re-run this January to take us to the next level.

 

Boys are tiring playing every 4 days. One more on the weekend and they can mentally rest a bit on the flight to Oz.

They will get a great reception in Sydney!

 

Give him a big contract.

A big Australia sized contract.

Write it upside down to make him feel more at home if it helps.

 

Great first half to the season.

Should be at least a 7 point gap with 23 games to go.

For context, we've only dropped 7 points in the last 23 league games.

 

I'm hoping maybe his family are super well settled and he will feel like a * for uplifting them again. He said himself his wife has settled in really well, and his kids are school age, maybe they won't want to move again. Plus the big man himself seems to be in his element at Celtic

 

I really appreciate his position on not releasing players for international games over this next week.
Football fans in Australia have been shafted too often in the past when international club teams visit. The promotion for these games always bigs up the star names that will be playing and too many times the star names get late 'injuries' and don't show up. Ange get this. He's seen it happen.
These Celtic games in Sydney have been planned for a long time so to have players missing at the last minute because of these recently scheduled friendly internationals would have been hard to take. Rangers already did their bit to mess this up. Scotland and Montenegro managers can nick off.
It is just another example of how he gets the fans' perspective and holds the line on important things. Some manager!

 

CELTIC manager Ange Postecoglou has urged the SFA to address the issues which have led to VAR causing a storm of controversy in Scottish football before the season reaches a “critical juncture”.


Fans of the Parkhead club were incensed when a Jota goal against Motherwell at Fir Park on Wednesday night was ruled out for offside despite television evidence appearing to show the Portuguese winger was onside.

The SFA released a statement yesterday admitting that one of the cameras which was positioned on the 18 yard line had not captured an “appropriate view” of the incident.




Postecoglou, whose team won the cinch Premiership match 2-1 and maintained their seven point lead over Rangers at the top of the table, has questioned if the new technology was ready to be rolled out last month.

The Greek-Australian has also warned there can be no re-run of the mistake when the title run-in heats up ahead of Celtic’s final match before the World Cup break against Ross County at home this afternoon.


“We won the game on Wednesday night so it was not an issue,” he said. “They are saying they have evidence that Jota was offside. That is fine.

“Look human beings are involved and you have to allow for human error. But the fact is the camera wasn’t pointing towards where it should have been. But when there is a decision at a critical juncture in the season do they have the evidence to support the decision?

“Okay, they have introduced it so let’s get on with it. But don’t make it the star of the show. I don’t think it helps anyone – referees, clubs, players or supporters – to have VAR as the focus of the discussion. For me, it is about the impact that it has on the game.”

Postecoglou added: “For me, it is not about the decisions. You are always going to get decisions that you perhaps don’t agree with. Our focus is on the process.

“We had a whole week of fanfare before it got introduced. But VAR is not a new thing. We have had it in Australia for three or four years now. It has been about for quite a while now. Our referees have used it in Europe in the past.






Were we ready? They should have been prepared and ready. They said there might be teething problems. I don’t know why. As I said, it has been around for years. If they were not ready to start it then why not wait until they were ready?”

Meanwhile, Postecoglou has stressed that Sead Haksabanovic will be travelling with Celtic to Australia for the Sydney Super Cup this month despite the winger being named in the Montenegro squad for their friendlies against Slovakia and Slovenia.

Scotland manager Steve Clarke this week expressed his disappointment that the Scottish champions’ players would not be involved in his side’s match against Turkey because of their commitments Down Under.

“Everyone who isn’t going to the World Cup is going to Australia with us,” said Postecoglou. “It is not an issue. FIFA have allowed clubs to make their own decisions because it is not an officially recognised international window and we have made our own decision as a club. Sead will be coming to Australia with us.”
