    Ye maybe right . . .but i think skippy is the best out of all 7 if he pulled his finger out.

    we sold Miller cos he wasnt good enough. . .that leaves you with boyd and Lafferty. . .Smith wont even play boyd against half decent defenders because ha becomes null and void, Lafferty :56:

    We sold Miller because we got 3 million for him. He's a good player and I wish the shame never signed him. He was in good form for us when we sold him.

    Lafferty however was and still is pish and even our two are better.

    But back to the point, I believe we are better in every other department when the players are all fit but not by a long way. We only spent 7 million after all.

    But we have been better by a long way for three and a half years. . .something has gone wrong. . .I personally dont want any * about. I want it fixed now or we are gonna lose out on a huge opportunity here.

    the 4-3-3 formation today wasnt a bad set up.with the 4-4-2 not producing the last few weeks,a change was mybe what the doctor odered.plus with the pitch as it was,mc geady was always favourite to be on the bench.
    but it was the players he got wrong.he took caldwell out off the back 4,and played in centre midfield,with the likes off flood,crosas and hartley not selected.with 3 upfront,i was hoping hutchinson would get a start,with even mc court or koki coming off the bench.jan is finished and sammy lacks confidence.even skippy isnt playing that well,how many time does he get caught off side.a fit maloney would be certain starter upfront.how long is he out for?

    I have always been a Strachan fan, got total respect for what he has done and won for our footbal club.

    I honestly do think it is time for a change, and i really hope the wee man walks away in the summer.

    Think we need somthing fresh, and to me behind the scenes, something is not right, and i think it will come out in the wash soon.

    It is not a happy camp, if people dont want to believe that then they are looking through there green glasses, i just hope and pray it does not cost us the league.

    I just dont understand why wgs has to come out after games and says what he says, cause he must be watching a diffrent game from me. we as supporters are not stupit.

    Hopfully Gordon does get 4 in a row and passes the tourch onto someone else.

    But with a rolling contract am sure he has all ready told Mr Desmond and Mr Lawwell his plans :50:

    Totally agree. Who honestly thinks "levien, KEANE especially" etc would do better. (with the exception of Moyes)

    Some people tend to forget that WGS played some really nice football, Some might say "The Celtic Way" at times. but when things go * up everyone is on his case. I do it myself, am not gona lie. But we all know what happens in the EPL when a manager gets sacked there, the grass is always greener 'apparantly', and look what happens to the teams that do sack the manager. To name a few, Newcastle, in the CL before souness came in. Charlton, finished 7th in the EPL, now getting relegated from teh championsip. LEEDS, semi-finals of the CL not but 4-5 years ago. now in league 1 + struggling to get in the play-offs.
    Imagine what would happen to Celtic? Who have not even an 1/8 of the money these teams have.
    Things do need to change but changing a manager for someone less qulaified is not the answer.

    id pick tony mowbary over the likes off levin,mc carthy,coyle,collins,lambert etc.the reason keane would be more interesting,is dermot desmond would back him in the market,but keane isnt a yes man.moyles is out off our reach.

    When Desmond wants something he usually gets it mate, when strachan does go, it wont be guys like hughes, collins, lambert or levien.

    phil brown off hull,if hull go down could be possible.bruce might think he's taking wigan as far as he could,espically with their star players being sold.mybe steve clarke could be possible to make his name as manager.an owen coyle and paul lambert,as one and two.sorry just throwing few ideas out,i think wgs is leaving in the summer,and the club knows.just guess work though.

    with the likes off balde and naka off the books in the summer,and a few fringe players sold off by any new coming manager,as to be expected.id imagine the club would need to make 10m-15m available to entice a decent standard off manager.but we need champions league football as a must.we need to win the league this year to make us look better proposition

    we should have hammered home any advantage we had over rangers in the transfer window. Just keeping our noses in front off them is not the way to go. I don't want to see my club's standards dragged down by just keeping ahead of that load of govan *. The boy is right we are very poor and its not just a blip, the team are just not doing it! I Hate to say!

    I feel everyone's pain with this one.
    The footie being served up has been * for about 6 months.
    Motherwell for 45 minutes away earlier in the season (Crosas pulling the strings in midfield) has been my highlight and my Son mentioned that whilst drinking myself into oblivion to ease the pain of another awful (but better than usual) away day performance.
    From being very optimistic regarding a clean sweep this season, we have opened the door to the fires of Mordor and I don't think I can take a gloating two Brother in Laws and the rest of my good lady's great unwashed in Oz, if we don't win the league at least.
    Champions League will be so difficult from next season onwards with better teams being touted. I couldn't stand going out to * Chelsea or Arsenal in the qualifiers.
    I believe on a more serious note, that Strachen will be gone no matter what he achieves this season.
    I've never see so much anger and bile directed at one person before - other than Barry Ferguson!!
    It seems all myself and Son do is argue with fellow supporters in the North Stand these days.

    Poor poor football, been going on far to long.

    Team has major problems.

    Bad management, ludicrous tactics,

    The problems lie at the back, so we all know what area needs strenghend, Why was it not fixed during the transfer window????? A dont believe 1 little bit of peter lawells excuse!!!! NO 1 WANTED OUR MONEY!!!!! BULL *!!!


    Been poor all season, been rank rotten for 3 months, disjointed mess who struggle to spring a dozen passes together, strikers are firing blanks especially jvgoh!!! looks as though he,s never played football before.

    Once the defence gets the ball, they hump it to * up the pitch, very bad to watch and frustrating as *, when naylor gets the ball its the same old *, takes a touch knocks it to the wingers feet then runs for the 1,2 then if he does get it cutts inside and crosses the ball in to the stand:38:

    Am afraid the title will be going to ibrox this year coz i cant see thses problems been fixed, and i am discusted!!!!!":47: big time.

    Call it a bad day at the office or what ever, ther,s been far 2 many and am sick of it, we could have took our chances but we didnt and now by not spending in january i said at the time we may have sold our league title, and to be honest we probly have:97: so thanks a lot peter lawell and gordon strachan you 2 seem to be doing all you can to hand the power back to the hunns:38::38::38:

    Should strachan go?????? I * hope so:52:

    Time for the board to grow some balls & sack WGS.

    No point in waiting for us to slide further down the table, hoping he'll turn it around.

    He won't turn it around, he can't turn it around - it's not particulary his fault, he just doen't have a clue about what to do.

    He won't drop underperforming players, if we sack him, the new boss will not have the same dedication to underperforming players & will hopefully shake it up in time for a go at the tiltle.

    If WGS stays, Celtic will lose the league & then he will leave in the close season anyway.

    The board just don't want to pay compensation now & are sitting with their fingers crossed hoping the players turn it around.

    I don't think I could bare pish football and odd tactics for another season tbh :54: I fully appreciate what WGS has done for us. I quite like him actually but I think it's best for all concerned if he moves on. I think things have gone stale and we definitley need to freshen things up.
