If you heard the Celtic Underground podcast interview with Stevie Woods and John Kennedy a couple of weeks ago you would have heard Woods let the cat out of the bag a wee bit regarding players where he told the story of him trying to motivate Boruc for an upcoming game against Kilmarnock and Boruc stating that it was about the 25th(?) time he was going to have played them and just couldn't get himself up for it.

I don't think it's a leap of logic to assume that Boruc was/is alone in feeling that way and given the pedestrian nature of some of our performances there's a few in our current team struggling to find the motivation to do what we all know they're capable of.

I know it's not all about blood and snotters but there has to be a point where the very least you expect is for those that are picked give their all.
Mulgrew said the same in the Si Ferry interview. He said a lot of the non-Scottish players found it really hard to remain fully motivated after a year or two and this was even true of the Scottish players, he included himself in this.

Perhaps they should think of the fans before sounding off like spoiled weans.

I've been watching the same opposition for 30 odd years , helping to pay the fat salaries of Chuckie and co. , and you don't hear me moaning. Much. :lol:

That must be about 5 or 6 league games we've failed to score in. Been a fair few we've only managed one anaw. The quality of play this season is up there with the worst iv saw since the mid 90s. We need more from Rodgers.
You don't half talk some rubbish. Do you actually go to the games and did you ever go? Even in the 90's?
Iv had a season ticket for 21 years my man, and was on the waiting list for two year before that. Despite that, I only go now and again cause the quality is so poor. Hard to motivate yourself to make the effort to go over and watch it.

Probably been to as many away and neutral games than I have home ones this year.

Whilst there is justified disappointment with many of our performances this season, some of the entitlement on here is staggering. Yes we are much richer than the competition, but that did not enable Lennon or Deila to win a treble, let alone two. We have been up for, and won, every domestic game we had to win. That's an incredible level of performance.

Europe has been poor, but getting there in the first place should not be taken for granted. We need to improve once we are there, but doubtless Rodgers knows this and wants more success as much as the rest of us.

It's fair enough to criticise the team and manager for some of our games this season, but no need to go off the deep end.

In every sport someone comes along from time to time and takes the sport by storm. Tiger Woods came along and lifted the sport of golf to a whole new level and won everything. Eventually though, the other players react and a whole new generation of young, hungry, brave players come along and rise to the challenge.

I think that to a certain extent that is what is happening with Celtic right now. Last season we were streets ahead of every other team and there has definitely been a reaction from some of the other teams this season. There has also been a dip in performance on our part. The challenge for us now is to kick-on again to the next level. Maybe it will take a bigger turn-around of players to get that drive and focus back, it certainly seems to be missing of late.

Having said all that Brendan needs to get more out of these players to finish the season well and ensure we get that double treble.
Young hungry brave players. :lol: Greer, broadfoot, Berra, holt, Hughes, mchugh etc.

Everyone needs to up their game, Rodgers included.

RE: Mulgrew's comments.

Aren't football players supposed to enjoy playing effing football?

Wanting to eventually step up a level is a separate issue, day to day you'd expect them to actually enjoy being out of the field playing. Its no excuse, Larsson looked just as delighted scoring against Livingston as he did in the Champions League.

Happy with that if BR was up for it

Tbh I'd expect Lennie would be more up for it

And given BR will have done everything he can domestically and doesn't have access to funds or willingness to adapt to players limitations in Europe to avoid dispiriting hidings I'd be fine with someone who can and would relish going for 8,9,10 maybe a little bit more than BR
