Bloody hell this thread is mad reading. It's like Brendan is the Significant Other we're feared of losing so we text him every 5 minutes asking if we're doing something wrong.
The next Green Brigade banner will just read, "WE CAN CHANGE" in huge eff off letters.

Odd that we aren't looking to strengthen before this tie.

I trust him 100% and we should be better than the Khazakstan champions but when you look at the amount on offer for qualification, surely we could have afforded to gamble a bit on a centre back.

It shouldn't but it's Celtic after all.

I think Brendan now realises exactly what the Scottish press is all about - last year was the honeymoon period when they were all waiting for it to go tits up, so they kept their powder dry, now they realise that we're going to get better, last season was no fluke and Brendan's here for the long haul, so what can they do? Look for anything that they can twist until they have a "story".
The press ask Brendan about Cathro's sacking - Brendan, who seems to have had a lot of time for Cathro, gives his honest answer, probably backed by what he's been told by Cathro. Press then go to Daly and tell him what Brendan has said (Daly claims not t have seen it before the press told him). Daly gives his response (probably checked in with Levein first). Press then go to Brendan and tell him what Daly said. They've bene trying their best to create a story from nothing. Probably the reason Levein / Budge didn't speak is that Brendan has the facts and they would have to lie to argue against them.
Brendan now knows what we've always known - the press hate Celtic and will do anything to create a negative story about them.

On Daly, my brother was telling me one of his friends who supports hearts told him, prior to the weekend's game to watch Daly as he has a real hatred for Celtic. Does anyone know why this might be the case (I'm aware he played briefly for rangers, but can't see his time there being long enough to make him so bitter)?

Daly would have been told by levein beforehand to adopt that approach if they got humped. He is 100% leveins lapdog.

If he gets the managers job,it will be laughable to suggest he isn't calling the shots there.

I liked when Jon Daly was talking about how formations and shape doesn't matter and then immediately went on to talk about which formations and shapes he contemplated using.

We'll be getting the 'Virgil' money as he us handed in a transfer request. So Roberts could work out as a 'freebie?

Former Celtic forward Kris Commons believes Brendan Rodgers is the perfect example of a football coach.

Rodgers took charge of Celtic in May 2016 and guided them to an unbeaten domestic treble in his first campaign.

Despite not featuring under the Northern Irishman, Commons was hugely impressed by what he saw.

"If you had a factory of coaching turning out the perfect coach, I think Brendan Rodgers would be first out the door - he's that good," Commons said.

"Bearing in mind he's only been in the door 12 months, what he's achieved in the 12 months he's now put an absolutely huge expectation from the fan-base. If Brendan Rodgers can guarantee Champions League football every year, he'll probably be the best manager in Celtic's last 10 years."

As well as winning all three domestic trophies - the Premiership by 30 points - former Liverpool manager Rodgers took Celtic to the Champions League group stage last season.

And Commons, who left Celtic this summer, revealed such success has come due to the manager's positive influence across the whole club, as well as the standards he sets in training.

"He's top of the pyramid but he's got a great set of coaches below him, a great understanding with the players, he's in touch with the ground staff and catering people - his door is always open," Commons told BBC Scotland's Sportsound.

"All his training sessions are tactical and he does a lot of preparation on every single game, no matter the level.

"With the reserves and under-20s, he's always looking to try and bring someone new in, always looking to give advice and do one-on-one sessions."

Commons was very much part of the Celtic squad when Rodgers arrived and he explained how the manager sent an early message to his players that helped lay the foundations for his reign.

"One of the first training sessions when we were in pre-season, the lads were walking off the park and I think someone said, 'look at him over there doing extra training'," Commons said.

"Brendan got the group together and said, 'Listen, if I hear that phrase again on the training ground you'll be out the door. There's a boy there looking to do extra work, working hard, wanting to earn more money, wanting to do better things in the game, improve his weaknesses,' and since that day everyone's on the training ground until one-two o'clock now."

Now 33, Commons is without a club as he attempts to get back to fitness following back problems.

He has been linked with a return to Hibernian, where he spent part of last season on loan, and revealed how his fitness concerns cost him the chance to make his mark under Rodgers.

"At the end of the season before last I had an epidural and a problem in my lower lumbar spine," said Commons, who won five league titles, two Scottish Cups and one League Cup with Celtic.

"I came back injured. He (Rodgers) said to me on day one, 'I'm not saying the door is shut, but if you want to play every single game, I can't guarantee it'.

"I never got fit enough to put any sort of pressure on the team in the first place, but they were doing so well it would've been almost impossible for me to get in there anyway."

Should it?

I always thought that would be the case when the window opened. Man City Get VVD, We spend the money we get from the VVD fee and use it to try and get paddy and throw any extra city ask for.

Shame it hasn't worked out that way :cry:
