So glad David Moyes isn't our manager. I was all for it before an appointment was made. Looking at it now though, it could only have been Brendan :worthy:
I was the same, honestly think we dodged a bullet there.

Quoting limited to 3 levels deepideally like two. :brickwall:

Splob seems to find it a tad difficult, when the other chief-exec's/club recruiters (who are actually worth their money) sharpen their blades and go out to play :nono:

Christ on a Bike, he even struggles with Kieth feckin Wynness, and a player who's desperate to sign, with a buy-out clause in his contract :cuckoo:

If BR didn't truly understand the script before, he certainly must do now, and his reaction to yet another 'sit on your hands/wait it out'
if its james mccarthy your on about you are talking pish
Considering how much he was signed for we wouldn't even entertain the buyout clause.
:thumbsup: bang on mate

That's because you're a dinosaur, Roughie.
You often wonder why Scotland are a backwater and haven't produced a player of note since the 80's.

Then you realise tubes like 'Roughie' and his ilk still have some influence on our game.

I don't think the SMSM have yet realised that most of us could not give a eff for their, or their pet former players', views.

You kind of have to admire the bravado of a newspaper printing an article based around the opinion of someone who explicitly states he doesn't understand the thing he's talking about.

That's an awful article with Rough.

Rodgers has had the honesty to come out and say what he thinks but yet it isn't good enough, it's an excuse because he wants to get his own man in.

Then Rough goes on to say that being a goalkeeper is all about shot stopping and hints that De Vries isn't good with the ball at his feet because of one game. Then he's 'heard' De Vries is injury prone and hasn't played a lot of games, didn't he play almost every game for Forest last season?

He states, quite wrongly, that Gordon is comfortable with the ball at his feet and then goes on to tell us that he's lost some bad goals but seems to be trying to make some sort of rationale for them.

What he's ignoring is that Gordon has been poor for a while now and has looked extremely uncomfortable since Rodgers arrived with trying to play in his formation.

I hope Rodgers is questioned over this at some point and we will see the comment destroyed in the manner he's done so far.

I would also say that it is likely that Rough has absolutely no idea what Rodgers has or has not said to Craig.

That's top class barrel scraping

Rodgers want's his "own man" in goals - well that's a shocker Alan, you would have thought he would bow to convention as a new manager and stick with the team he gets for ever.
Failing that he should just tell the press the truth that he thinks Gordon is shampoo - as has been done by no manager ever.
And how dare he suggest that keepers should be able to play the ball - its all about making saves (conveniently ignoring the number of times Gordon has failed to do so in important games)

They have spun and polished every turd in the Ibrox cesspit and are now looking to throw some of it about incase the real questions about their current financial state get asked.

Glad to hear him mention the need to be better at retaining the ball. If he can manage to coach that into the players while mostly playing against domestic teams who panic and give us the ball back after 3 passes he'll be doing well.
Agree. I think don't think we've seen a truly possession oriented Celtic side for quite some time. We tend to just have the ball a lot because Scottish sides are so much worse at keeping the ball. The possession stat is always high, but not so much through design and there hasn't really been a need to actually be especially good at it.

I'm I the only one seeing the beginning of the lets try and undermine Rodgers campaign in the papers. Attempting to cast doubt in Celtic fans minds about his judgment. It's early days but a few ex players have now come out and bemoaning his treatment of Craig Gordon and his supposed ill treatment of him.
remember when the press thought we should play Kris Commons in every game? That's gone a bit quiet. Like Joe Hart , Gordon will have his pals in the press who think they know it better than the manager, yet they are being ghost-written for tabloid junk while BR moves forward apace.
Trust the manager. Ignore the idiot snipers :thumbsup:
Commons was the example I was thinking about. The press used him being left out to undermine deila and get some fans against him from the very start though deila never helped himself. I just believe the press are starting to try and antagonise Rodgers as they see him a threat

Christ on a Bike, he even struggles with Kieth feckin Wynness, and a player who's desperate to sign, with a buy-out clause in his contract :cuckoo:

Think you'll find the clue is in Keith feckin' Wyness :thumbsup:

Absolutely delighted with BR...but can't shake this niggling anxiety that he's never been a financial trader in the City of London.

He's getting praised on follow follow for the job he's done. That genuinely shows how well he has started . They are petrified about Saturday . He's put the fear in them . Hope Brendan gets a convincing victory
