    Im quite a pessimistic fan, so im not one of these 'happy clappers' who finds the good in every situation, however we have got lots to look forward to for next season and years to come.

    1) We have a brilliant set of supporters who follow us thick and thin, the spine of our great football team
    2) We have a potential cup final to look forward to
    3) We dont have a significant amount of debt, unlike some team i know :rolleyes:
    4) We have some great prospects to look forward to, Ki looks the bussiness and hopefully we will see him shine next season, Rogne, even though its early days looks like a no nonesense defender who really excites me, real gem of a player for me who looks composed and like he has been playing for years, have we finally found our Balde replacement? Josh Thompson also very young has looked solid in nearly all games i have watched him, already a better option than mcmanus for me despite his young age. Only going to get better
    5) A chance to beat them at CP and show them that next season will be so different


    Thats just 5 reasons, i could find a few more and im sure everyone can. Its been a tough season, will Mowbray be in charge next season? Who knows but one thing is for sure, we will get behind whoever is in charge and roar our team on, let them have the title this season, they are just keeping it warm for us :50: Keep the faith lads/lasses, our time will come

    From a passionate 18 year old!

    Nice to read someone being positive for a change. Not sure it'll catch on though. :87:

    nice positivity mate, though number one isnt really true at the moment, you only have to look at the amount of empty seats at CP to see that.

    1) True & False. There are guys who will follow Celtic through thick and thin, these guys are to be commended. there are also guys like myself, who are utterly * off with the current situation, see the club more of a business, see lacking improvment and quality on the pitch, yet an increase in prices. So you can look at No1 which ever way you like. I personally like to think Im a realist, and refuse to give my hard earned money to a cause that doesn't appreciate the fans for what they are. I.E. lack of spending etc...

    2) Potential cup final, that we will not be favourites to win, and to be honest, i would take or leave the cup final for the league to be finished asap.

    3) means nothing really while playing in Scotland, you say Rangers have an amounting debt, they have walked the league the past 2 seasons, have a stronger team throughout than ours, and a better base. they will no doubt have their debt cleared in the future due to a buy out, and we will undoubtably be looking for a new manager. So look at number 3 the way you like, I personally dont think its much to gloat about.

    4) You name great prospects for the future, Ki, Rogne, Thomson. I personally think Ki is a player, rogne only seen once, and I think thomson looks very unsteady at times. Celtic fans done the same with McManus, Odea and Kennedy, treated them like a future Celtic star. So for number 4, what about the 4 loan players we have? Guys like Samaras, Odea etc... Uncertainty of the future McGeady Brown Boruc etc...

    5) No 5 is a nonsense post to be honest, like they will be quaking in their boots thinking whats in store for next season due to a meaningless result.



    While we have posts like yours mate, and people like yourself who do not see that there is a mini crisis at Celtic park with the manager and playing staff, supporters sick of whats going on, decreasing attendances, we will never move forward.

    I do not care if some of the green tint, dream brigade come on here and lambaste me for this reply, but I feel its the truth, and if what the 1st poster says are the positives we have to look forward to and go on for the future, then we are in dire straights....

    Take your point but cant blame our fans for not going, nothing to play for and with the recession its nothing more than what is expected, the supporters who go to the games now with nothing left to play for deserve a medal imo.

    Crisis? I would say Portsmouth are a club in a 'crisis' who face the prospect of going bust completely, just because we havent won the league for a couple of seasons doesnt mean we are facing meltdown, I respect your views but Thompson unsteady? He has barely put a foot wrong and kept the SPL leading scorers out until the 94th minute of the last OF game, of coure we can also thank O'Dea and Rogne for that matter. I understand your point but i think you are are looking for the negatives rather than the positives, i am simply finding the goods out of a bad situation, and to be honest mate your negativity isnt going to help the cause one little bit

    He was also part of a shambolic defensive display at Pittodrie and got his * felt for one of the goals we lost at Dunfermline.

    A positive for me=
    I actually enjoy/look forward to watching Celtic play, regardless of result.
    Unlike under wgs when I used to cringe & hide.

    Celtic in crisis……have a word. Lol

    I said mini crisis mate, i know theres a world of difference, but if you could gauge the statement from my post, you would understand the meaning of what I said.

    As for thomson, we will see in time, but im willing to bet with any man on here he will not be a Celtic regular, as the previous poster said, part of the shambolic defensive display at Aberdeen and also Dunfermline.

    Its all about opinions bud, and i would rather look at positives also, but they are majorly outweighed by the negatives at the moment.

    Again, I said mini Crisis, again, a wold apart from major crisis, I think its simple to understand the meaning of what I said in my post...

    And you actually look forward to watching Celtic regardless of the result, maybe you should be having a word with yourself bud, thats just completly ridiculous...

    So from what you say, you get up at the weekend, and say to yourself "I am right looking forward to this game today, no matter if we win lose or draw!"

    You aint serious mate ???

    A reason to be positive..........

    I think the players we have signed this season look more promising than the ones we've sold.

    My hope this year is that we get to the Cup Final against the Huns and Robbie scores th winning goal!
    It would shut the feckers up for a bit.

    Im not sure that completely correct to be honest mate!

    Just an example... Fortune v McDonald - No matter what you think or thought of the wee man (and I at times was a big critic of him) the boy knew where the goal was. Was a league winner, scored in Europe and against the Monkeys consistently. Up till now, Fortune has shown glimpses.

    Who else are you talking about mate when you say the ones we have brought in are better than some of the guys and proven league winners we have got rid of. (Again, I was a critic of McManus etc... but up till now, i do not see any great improvement in whats been brought in by Mogga)

    ... ?

    McDonald was probably the best player we sold imo. So I wasn't really talking about him. I was thinking more along the lines of Flood, McManus, Killen etc.

    Out of what we've bought I think only Zheng Zhi looks like he has nothing to offer. All the others are either untried(so can't be judged one way or the other) or look to have something about them.

    N'Guemo's been a success
    Fortune'e is coming on to a game now
    Rasmussen looks like a player who'll score goals
    Keane speaks for himself
    Ki looks to have good passing/technique and potential

    Hooiveld and Rogne we can't judge yet but I liked the little I saw of Rogne too.

    I think these guys are better than what went out on the whole. I think it's just been the sheer speed and volume of change that has * this season up. We've changed too much too fast. I think it's really that simple.
