Where do we go from here?
Morning,all.
You saw it,we all did. One attack,goal. Why is that,maybe our mega money defence and goalkeeper aren’t as good as we thought? Seems so,much as we all hate to admit it.
Can’t really have a go at NL for the team he picked nor for the formation. If you can’t keep it out at the back,you won’t win anything. But if he can’t see there’s a problem at the back?
Well,every opposition coach does.
I could say so much more about last night,but I’d rather not. I know that you all expect a decent article with a good few words,but today,not for me.
It’s just heartbreaking to watch.

ive seen us beat the best in europe in my 50 plus years of watching celtic ,as has jim, its such a shame we have come to this, the cannon fodder of europe, long gone is the fortress of parkhead, and that makes jim and myself so sad, will we ever reach the peaks of european football again, sadly not in our lifetime, and untill we get that bassa lawwell out of parkhead, you younger ghuys will not see it either, all IMHO of course KTF.

A pub full of Celtic fans applauded it. Stunning goal.

I said on Monday morning that is was folly to persevere with a system without the personnel required to do so. As you pointed out,we didn’t cover ourselves in glory with various permutations based on four at the back with two centre halfs,but we can’t try to shoehorn a quart into a pint pot.
And if we are going to try that,we picked the wrong two matches to do so.
From CQN worth copying over.

‘We need a CEO from us CQNers to let Lawwell know what is needed.’
##
1. A new ownership model. Otherwise a new majority shareholder who is (a) a Celtic fan and (b) lives here and would attend matches.
2. A vision of how to take the club forward with a sense of direction and purpose.
3. A new CEO occupying a less prominent position in a more conventional management structure.
Once that’s done the onfield matters can be addressed.
Anything else will just be history repeating itself.
==================
Agree and am hoping a Celtic Trust under David Lowe will fill the vacuum which is the main barrier to change.
On field matters will have to be addressed at the same time, being the symptom of why fundamental change is required.

WGS and yourself seem to be in alignment in terms of the choices that had to be made as against those that were, plus more. I commented on CQN as follows:
What the team has lacked from the start of the season is balance. The left hand side was a cul de sac and NL would know that better than most.
So we get a guy who last night (and on Saturday) is a step above and will bring balance to the left.
Covid fate has dealt us a poor hand ,but not as bad as St Mirren or Kille so far, and unless they have discovered but failed to register they have a vaccine with the NHS (they have form) “The Rangers” will not be immune either. Covid robbed us of a game still to be played and 4 of the first team quad.
Lack of match fitness another 2 and normal injury 2 more.
Those aren’t excuses they are reasons.
Excuses are when you have the power to do the right thing but don’t. Reason are why you know the right thing to do but are powerless to do that and have to do something else.
Excuses are driven by emotions, reasons by thinking.
Another thing WGS said last night about “The Rangers” (before the wonder second goal) was that the 3 goals in last two matches came from set play and that is where Celtic need to be wary (when playing them).
WGS also said ‘Play our best players with the right mental attitude on Sunday.’
Individuals who come into that category play for Big money clubs.
So you need a team where there is a mix.
Best under technical ability for me are
Rogic
Frimpong
Eduaord (not fit for Sunday)
Elyanouusi
Next with a mix of both:
Christie
Ajer
Laxat
McGregor
Griffith
Ajeti
Julien (not fit)
Forrest (not fit)
More mental attitude than technical
Brown
Duffy
Space fillers
NtCham (who played better last night)
Taylor
Klimala
Unknowns
Turnbull
Soro
So who does NIL pick for Sunday knowing about attitude and skill more than us?
Last thing, Ajer had a great game last night yet I saw comments on social media criticizing him, there is a lot of confirmation bias going on.
Last last thing. With 2 minutes to go Liege put a ball into the box that fell to a player in the clear six yards out. It went through his legs in the conditions! Rangers counter and score a wonder goal.
Them’s the margins.
It was a hell of a goal I will state no worries.

Oh dear,never mind. But Giuliani really should be crucified for this.
Interested today to see that Sky are showing the ibrox mob at home versus the sheep on the same weekend that we are away to Easter road. Wtf is that all about? I think that’s twice lately they’ve had a home game on the telly and our away game has not been on. Can’t recall that happening to them. I hate sky. Really need to stop giving them my money.

We play at 3 on saturday so no live tv coverage
Craig 76,
That’s the question I’m asking. Why are we not moved to the Sunday and on tv and them at home on the Saturday? My understanding is that’s what happens, away games on the telly. I cannot remember the last time we had a home game on sky that wasn’t against the ibrox mob.
We’ve now got a run of 3 away league games to Aberdeen, Motherwell and Hibs. If Broonie picks up another booking does he automatically miss the next game ? 🤔
It was good to see the midfield triumvirate of McGregor, Christie and Rogic on the park together again last night 👍
ATOB- That will be another PPV game for us,have Sevco had any away from home yet?
The Scottish Govt appears to have taken its new restriction levels from Spinal Tap. What’s better than level 0 ? 🤔

Re Twitter links, if it doesn’t work 1st time try it again and it usually works.
Done it with Mahe’s link there.

Guiliani is a sleezebag, just like his boss.
FYI, the old get the missus to eat a curry at 8 months pregnant so the kid will like spicy food trick doesn’t work, at least not all the time.

If Borat has that on Guiliani what does Putin have on Trump?
Great interview with Bruce Springsteen by Dermot O’Leary on Radio 2 😎
Mags Does it matter ? Trump supporters are racist morons so they’ll vote for him regardless 😜

I watched the BBC I player series on Trump’s time as a President. Giuliani was not only an enabler but a sleazebag.
Is there anyone connected with Trump who is not a lying crook or a sleazebag ?

Article penned, time for feet up, beer opened, and Borat part two on.
I never laughed so much at that first. A classic.
I hope part two IS NICE!!
Fair play to the real fella, not a copy cat at all.
HaHaHa Mahe..my wee guy went to bed a couple of hours ago asking for my Prime password to watch it!
Mackers when I first moved here, into a shared house with the chick, they called us Mork and Mindy as I was forever ‘what’s that?’ ‘I don’t understand we don’t do it like that were I am from!’
I can see why 😉
They actually display a bell that is broken here and charge people into see it believe it or not.
Strange effing place.
Being pale has really helped I admit.
Hail Hail
Mahe, believe it or not I watched an episode of Mork and Mindy a couple of weeks ago….fuck me lockdown can really mess you up!!! Anyway, it was a bit more risque than I remembered, there was a few saucy lines in it when the old man realised Mork had moved in with his daughter!! 😳😁
Yes daddy
Sorry, really bad version of that!
Here’s abetter version….
Great tune wee man
Didn’t get Afghan s read on game …I bet he was bang on .
