I love Brendan but I really couldn't disagree more with his assessment of the KT tackle.

He also seems really annoyed about the pitch. Seems like a straightforward answer, pitch is shampoo, sorted at the end of the season, yet he really focuses on it and seems pissed off about something.

Brendan Rodgers revealed he has told Celtic bosses to rip up the Parkhead pitch after watching his side score a sluggish 2-0 success over Motherwell.

'We need a Desso.'

(promotional video the stuff he's told Pistol Pete to shell out for:) :chuffed:

Not for the first time Brendan lets it be known he is not happy with the pitch - I reckon Pedro will be signing off for a new pitch soon.
When is the last time our pitch was so obviously cack?
I'd say you'd need to go back to Tommy Burns time as manager. The pitch then was really poor

Estimated cost £2m but doesn't say what the maintenance/renewal figures are.
Presumably the maintenance week-to-week would be less costly than as is, and if it's guaranteed for so many years then it could be close to what we are currently spending on a year by year basis over a period of time.

In the entire history of Scottish Football (or even British football) has any club ever been 27 points clear at the top before now?

Did we not replace the pitch at the start of the season?

He's certainly not happy, but at least he is saying it whilst we are winning, so no one can accuse him of excuse making. From my viewpoint it doesn't look that bad and no other manager or player seems to comment on it, but I think BR probs knows slightly more than me so a new pitch it is come the summer.

Think we got a new pitch in 2014 after the games which didn't take and was replaced in summer 2015. It's deteriorating badly though. It's been a relatively dry winter but you wouldn't know it. Wonder if it's more a drainage issue- pre 2014 the pitch was generally good

Should've upgraded to the state of the art at that point, utilising the revenue we got during the summer, no?

Of course, that would've been a football decision, which at that time would've been taken by the CEO (probably in consultation with the groundsman, so he could always pass the buck).

Whatever the problem, it is obviously not great and won't be helped with us having so many home games in a row. Get a nice new surface for next season.

We are very lucky to have this man. He is keeping everyone else on their toes and is also looking ahead to give us the best chances moving forward.

There's a close up picture (in the link) of the tackle on KT and it looks a very sore one.

I've played on the murryfield pitch and it's really heavy and I don't think it takes a short football stud :thumbsup:
