Listening to SSB from Saturday they just played after match comments from both managers side to side,warburton comes across as an imbecile whereas our manager talks so eloquently,even praising the opposition.While the bread man refuses to talk about Celtic,guys a complete dunce compared to our beautiful man

I liked Warburton at first, however, he's basically just Deila. Once you've heard one interview you've heard them all - he never strays from his "We'll learn and improve" mantra.
Rodgers is the best manager we could have possibly have hoped for and every second he is with us should be cherished. Lawwell takes a lot of slack but this has been the best decision made by a Celtic board since Stein possibly. I don't want to denounce O'Neill, but Rodgers is a level above anything I've experienced in my lifetime. Meticulous, intelligent and has a deep understanding of the club.

Until Rodgers takes us all the way to a European final, wins a treble against a very good Rangers side and pumps Liverpool, Juventus and Barcelona to name but a few, we can safely say he's not been a better appointment than MON (at least not yet).
Our team under MON was the best since the era of the lions. This Celtic side have enormous potential and Rodgers has been absolutely fantastic since he arrived, but they're a long way off being close to the Seville team.

Brendan will likely never see his Celtic team play a decent Rangers team and that is not his fault.
I do reckon we are going to get further in Europe with Brendan than we have been since Seville.
MON and Brendan are two very different managers, managing in different eras with different constraints and different approaches. One laid the groundwork for the managers coming after him. We have not properly taken advantage of that over the years, but I think we have the right man to now and his potential and hard work should not be played down just because his predecessor battered Rangers into the ground.
A very big thank you MON, and onwards with Brendan Rodgers.

He may go on and be remembered more fondly but right now it's unfair to compare the two.

Missed the bit saying this is best appointment since Stein. Far too early for that sort of talk.
MON was absolutely the right man at the time and Brendan is now the right man to take advantage of what MON left us with.

Admittedly, it is definitely far to early for that talk. However we all sense its going there.
I may be daft but I suspect there is a real chance of us winning the Europa League in the years to come.

Rather astonishingly MON's 2003/2004 team had an even better league record at this point in the season having performed better in the CL and competing against a vastly better huns side. MON inherited a team that lost the league by a then record 21 points and a club that had been mediocre in Europe for decades. Brendan has some way to go before his achievements can match that.

Different eras but every Celtic manager who followed MON has benefited from his time here. MON is Celtic's most important manager in 40 years because he took on a monster and turned it into a quivering wreck.
The Huns (mark I) sped down the road to bankruptcy through illegality trying to overcome O'Neill as symbolised by their signing of Flo within weeks of their 6-2 trouncing. It all eventually caught up with them and we enjoy a financial superiority (based on our own merits, now somehow 'bad for the game') the likes of which we've never had.
All that said, Brendan Rodgers is the best appointment Celtic have made in a long long time and we are in for some special times. There is no better man to be leading our club and the board should understand that this is the time to back him and give him the players he thinks will genuinely make the route to the CL less fraught and then make an impact if and when we get there.
Fix the roof when the sun is shining, as some bastard once said. Over the years Celtic have been guilty of not doing this largely through complacency. Make the right decisions now and great times lie ahead with a young manager ready to stamp his name in Celtic history as one of our best.

MON inherited a team that lost the league by a then record 21 points and a club that had been mediocre in Europe for decades. Brendan has some way to go before his achievements can match that. We were under the thumb for twelve years and in one game he utterly destroyed them and brought us back to the top. They never recovered from the psychological blow of that 6-2 game. In fact, they spent the next two years simply trying to wrap their mind around what happened that day.
We were reborn. All the years of rebuilding suddenly came to fruition out of nowhere. I've always said this, but that result was the day they died. Murray went even wilder with the spending after that game, the EBT madness increased and it all came crashing down a decade later. His ego simply wouldn't allow him to entertain the idea that Celtic were biggeer, better and there was nothing he could do about it.
Rodgers has inherited a wonderful legacy and MON put that marker down. I love Rodgers but MON is my all time Celtic hero. He made all my dreams as a supporter come true.

I hope he dictates to the board what he wants and we fulfill his wishes as we can definitely go places under his management. We've struck gold here and we won't have a manager as capable as him for a long long time so lets do all we can to make it count.

Just listened to his post-match interview with Celtic TV in the tunnel. "Coming to Ibrox isn't just about the points, it's about defending the culture of our club." 
He sounded pretty gutted that his self-inflicted injury prevented him from celebrating with the players and the fans at the final whistle

I do reckon we are going to get further in Europe with Brendan than we have been since Seville.

Brendan has been in charge of the players for 6 (SIX) months, how good will be in a few years with him in charge?

Quoting limited to 3 levels deep

Brendan has been in charge of the players for 6 (SIX) months, how good will be in a few years with him in charge? That wasn't his first season and he'd been with us for 2 years by that stage though, Rodgers has managed to get us into the Champions League at the first time of asking and is unbeaten all in his first season; FWIW I think Rodgers has a far better grasp of the tactical side of the game than MON did, his constant dithering and unwillingness to change, particularly latterly in his reign, was a frustration.
I loved O'Neill but think Rodgers definitely has the potential to eclipse him, albeit the run to a European final will be an even bigger ask these days.

Haven't seen it mentioned before but noticed that our players never seem to overly complain when a decision goes against them - we just get on with it.
A few decisions went against us on Sat and we just carried on and concentrated on the things we could change.
Great to see tbh.

BRENDAN Rodgers has hailed the Celtic support for their brilliant backing of the team in last weekend's Glasgow derby success at Ibrox. Even when the champions were losing early in the match, the Hoops faithful roared on the players and they were able to celebrate a thoroughly-deserved victory together once the final whistle sounded thanks to goals from Moussa Dembele and Scott Sinclair. When asked about the fans' contribution in this week's Celtic View, the manager said: “It was brilliant. They didn’t panic either. When we went 1-0 down they stayed with the team which is very important and hopefully they are seeing there is a real trust building between the supporters and the players. “Sometimes you will have adverse times in games but if you have the spirit, the fight and the will, along with the quality, then you come through it, and the supporters are identifying that with this Celtic team. Like Celtic teams of the past, you find a way, and it was important for them to celebrate together afterwards." And the manager would have walked over to salute the fans as well at full time had he not suffered an untimely injury when celebrating Sinclair’s winning strike. “That was my only disappointment of the day as I was unable to go over there and be with them as I stupidly pulled my calf," he added. http://www.celticfc.net/news/11907

Great to see tbh. I think it has been very noticable and is one of the many reasons our game as a team is much better off. Broony tends to do any moaning he feels necessary to the ref, on his own, and that is how it should be.
Brendan is so calm on the touchline and the players must feed off of that.
