Anyone know why he was in Paris yesterday?

None of the dumb-dumbs in the press seemed to pick up on that wee nugget.

Reading Harry Redknapp's book and there's a wee snippet about him that is interesting. Harry's a fan


" I knew exactly how I wanted the England team to play.

And I knew the man to get them to do it, too. When Tottenham played Swansea on 1 April 2012, I pulled Brendan Rodgers aside after the game and said that if all this speculation about England was true, would he consider coming to the European Championships in the summer, as my part-time coach? I loved what he had done with Swansea, the way he had taken players who had not been encouraged to play adventurous football previously and turned them into outstanding technical, thinking footballers. I thought he would be perfect to develop those ideas with England. I don’t think a guy like Brendan would be a gamble for England at all. At Swansea he had Garry Monk, a journeyman professional who used to be with Barnsley, Sheffield Wednesday and Torquay United among others, and Ashley Williams, 159 games for Stockport County, and suddenly they were knocking it about like Franz Beckenbauer and passing the ball into midfield. I thought if Brendan could do that with them, what would he be like with Rio and Terry, or Rooney and Gerrard?

And Brendan was up for it. I told him I wanted England to play with as much technical ambition as Swansea and that he would be ideal for the summer tournament; and he seemed really keen. If I got the job, he said, he would speak to the people at Swansea to get their permission. ‘It would be a great experience for you, Brendan,’ I told him. ‘I want England to play like you play. Pass the ball, play and play and play.’ Some people reading this may think it means I was distracted, but I can assure you the conversation took five minutes and the idea was in my head before the job became available. I had been saying it for months previously, that the FA should get a guy like Brendan Rodgers involved with England. I was convinced his way should be England’s way, too. So there was never a distraction. I was still totally focused on Tottenham. And we beat Swansea 3–1 that day, by the way.

So on 1 April I was contemplating the way forward for England with Brendan Rodgers – and on 29 April the FA offered the job to Roy Hodgson."
Well said 'arry

It must be great to have a manager at your back who will stand up for you in the face of unwarranted criticism.

Only thing to debate was if jozo is fit or Not. There is nothing else to be debated from the starting line up.

There were people round me shouting (and me a few times) but not for the ball to be launched up field but for Celtic to move the ball quicker, to run at them and get their passing quicker.

PATIENCE IS KEY Brendan Rodgers says Celtic won’t resort to throwing long balls in the box after frustrating draw with St Johnstone
Rodgers was unhappy with a section of Parkhead fans who urged their team to punt the ball up field as they were trailing the Saints

I get that Brendan says we have to be patient, and if we're moving the ball about well then sometimes you do need to go back but there was no pace to our play yesterday and too many times players were taking the easy option to pass back rather than looking up and seeing the pass in front of them. A few times in the second half McGregor and Sinclair were in good space but brown/bitton decided to go back the way rather than look up and move it on. Think that is what the fans were being frustrated at.

There is a heavy set guy to the left of the Celtic dugout in the lower section of the Main Stand - Grade one feckin' idiot - In his 50's wears a Celtic top and is as wide as he is high - Stands up and shouts and bawls at the slightest wee thing - Lennon had regular battles with the fud and he was getting to Rodgers yesterday as well - Rodgers eventually gestured towards him to calm down.

The clown is a feckin' embarrassment especially given it is mainly kids around him.

I would like to think thst everything Brendan and the team have done for us over the past 12 months deserve a bit of patience, yes they were a bit flat in the first half but that's understandable based on the exertions of midweek however he acts swiftly as always and changes things at half time and we would have won it comfortably based on the amount of clear cut chances we had in the second half.

He is also brave enough to say blame him when we make a mistake at the back as it is the way he wants us to play, building up from the back and pulling the opposition around - you didn't see people complaining when we scored our goal of the season last year against st Johnstone which emanated from passing around the back, which included Gordon.

I think we need to trust him and his judgement not get on the teams back as that will only drive him away which I am sure will be blamed on PL and not the impatience of fans who don't know when they have a good thing - enjoy this while we can because you never know what's around the corner!

Sounds like a guy who sits behind me too without the Celtic top. Grade one clown though as he is never done moaning, or using profane language. Anytime a pass goes astray or misses it's intended target he goes aff like a two bob rocket. :nono:

That's the guy who caused bother with Neil Lennon and another fan. Big guy was giving him dogs abuse and Lennon thought it was another guy who was actually defending him who went tonto. Got an apology at Parkhead and on Radio Clyde eventually. Totally mental and all because the big guy is an idiot.

Brendan needs to realize that Brown, Boyata and especially Gordon are going to cost us in this seasons CL before it's too late. They are our weak links and Brendan must grow a pair and make sure neither of them are in the side in our opening game against PSG.

Nonsense.

He picked the right team but in the first half we had a few players well below par. At half time he switched two of those and then when we were still chasing the goal he switched it up again and we were all over them. A three or four one win would not have flattered us.
