Defending shocking, subs shocking, stop playing with little board and get this team going I know I posted earlier that I could see what he is trying but he has got to put more into it cannot just put high balls into box does not have the players to play this way.

He should have never been appointed as he does not have the necessary skill set to navigate this difficult period of turmoil. He will have lost the fans by the time the January transfer window comes . Another disaster from our board.
They should have stuck with O'Neil or got an experienced manager who played a system that suited our current players.
Ted lasso and his wee board can do one on my opinion. It is about to get super toxic. Who could have predicted that? π€¬.

Shocking, 1st goal no one playing to whistle yet mcgregor not even strong enough, 2nd goal should been offside never a corner yet shock horror never deal with it, but why change it? Manager watch us been dire, start to get some wins, but with so few trainings decides he wants to play his formation, don't get it, he needs time to assess players to buy but not any time to play formation he prefers? Yes playing good high intensity football but no end product why?
07 Dec 2025 16:45:36
We have nothing up front. Tounekti is shocking, he gets to the byline and doesn't put it into the middle, he cuts back onto his right and by that time the defence are back.
On the right we did nothing.
Maeda could have put us ahead but we did nothing after that.
Controlled the game but did not threaten.
We are so weak up front.
07 Dec 2025 16:04:21
Poor goal to give away but totally dominated the game. Should have scored. hailhail.
07 Dec 2025 15:54:37
I can see what he is trying to do but yang never on the right, Maeda should have scored shocking defending for the goal keeper never had a shot to save prior to goal.
07 Dec 2025 16:03:16
McInnes has them leaving Trusty when he has the ball. They are covering CM because Trusty cannot pass the ball.
The amount of times Trusty could pass through their defence is unbelievable but he doesn't have either the confidence or ability to do it.
We are so dominant yet we cannot score.
Might be a long 2nd half.

Good turnout from the Celtic collective today and nice demonstration against the board outside the stadium. π
As could be seen from the numbers and the wide mix of fans in attendance, this is far more than just the north curve and the Bhoys.

@jFP - Makes you hate the board even more.
The board are tone deaf if they believe it is only the green brigade that have had enough. Loads of die hard Celtic fans are bewildered and angry with what they see going on at Celtic right now.
There was probably a window for reconciliation but that ship has sailed and the lot of them need to go now.
07 Dec 2025 13:56:48
That scurrilous line about fans' "only vocation" makes me furious. A blatant, classict dogwhistle implying that Celtic fans are unemployed militants. Surprised it hasn't attracted more ire and condemnation. Truly deplorable.
07 Dec 2025 14:38:07
Why are our fan media so much more talented than our board.

I never watched Nancy's first press conference as I have no time for the monkey's in the media and generally don't find the pressers that interesting.
Like many, I'm underwhelmed by the appointment but will be more than happy to be proved wrong.
Given the comment made about it not being the end of the world if we lose, if he doesn't fully understand the goldfish bowl that is football in Glasgow, and the hype whipped up by the media, he soon will.
Nancy apparently favours a 3-4-2-1 formation and with his first game in charge at home, against a Hearts team who have struggled in recent weeks, aligned with Celtic's record against today's opposition over the last 29 games (27 wins, 1 draw and 1 defeat) , as BuzzBomb posted just the other day, you'd think he'll get off to a flier.
One thing's for sure, as crass, out of touch and generally awful this current Celtic board is, the new manager and team will get supported, no doubt about that.
I wish π€ the new manager all the success in the world and hope he's at Celtic winning trophies long after certain members of this board have departed. π

Not been so apprehensive about a game for a while. Players and supporters have just enjoyed a perfect pick-up from MON and he will be a hard act to follow. When you add the acrimony and resentment between Board and Support to the pressure of todays game against a team managed by Slug2 - this will be a huge test for the champions.
07 Dec 2025 11:06:06
So putting up a poster of a board member's face with a red line through it, close to where a board member lives is considered intimidation and harassment.
Good luck proving that in court.

Weejoe,
individuals have to be very careful.
Venting dissatisfaction with the board at football games, whether vocally, with banners or even tennis balls thrown onto the pitch is one thing, but when it comes to the perceived threat to specific individuals at/ around their homes, that's a different ball game.
It wasn't so long ago that an arson attack took place at Peter Lawell's home, cars were set alight within metres of where his daughter and grand child were asleep, thankfully no-one was physically injured.
Incidents like this are in no way, shape or form acceptable in any decent society as it amounts to nothing more than a self appointed lynch mob and anyone caught should locked up for a very long time.
Protest through peaceful means but anything more is crossing the line.
βοΈ π βοΈ.
{Ed007's Note - Where's the "threat" in putting posters up on a roundabout?
The attack on Lawwell's home was to do with his ECA role and the safeguarding of young players against gangsters being involved with agents in poorer countries.}
07 Dec 2025 13:29:02
To be fair Ed, 'perceived threat' is what I posted but I'm no copper or lawyer and that's mainly because I would have been the wrong religion for one establishment, and I never stuck in enough at school, to qualify for the other.
I'm also as unhappy, dissalusioned and generally disgusted at this current boards behavior and actions as much as any supporter.
My main point being, it only takes one incident, and it's not a huge jump from posters near board members homes, to verbal or physical abuse of said individuals or even their family members in public to something even more serious.
We're better than that, more intelligent than that or at least, the majority of supporters are. I can't speak nor care for the rest.
I'm happy to agree, to disagree.

As ed said it is a couple of posters put up on signs and lamposts that are visible on their drive home. It certainly did not merit that hit piece in the papers, from Celtic PR team π€£
The board are trying to paint a different picture from the reality of what happened. It looks like a wee guy done it and it is far from a campaign of intimidation and harassment from what I can gather. It is a classic case of playing the victim and just widens the divide between us and them
It would be nice for the fans at the game today to show solidarity with their persecuted brothers and sisters. Re-enacting the scene from Spartacus would be tremendous gesture.

First impressions of Nancy π€. Not so sure but to quote an old game show host no longer with us 'points make prizes' so if he gets this group of players performing and winning we will all be happy.
A bit odd when he brough death into a conversation about the ups and downs of football. All things said, he has my backing and wish him well as we all do.
