Steve Clarke now having a pop over BRs firemen comment


Steve Clarke is spot on.

The Kilmarnock manager told Press Association Sport: If you look at the majority of what Brendan said, it was correct and proper - but that (firefighter) line wasn't really befitting of a Celtic manager.
It wasn't so much disrespectful, it was just a silly line to use in what was quite an honest post-match analysis of the game.
We don't have to go there and play the way Celtic want us to.
We went there to play the way that is best for us to get a result. It's my job as a manager to set my players up in a way that gives us the best chance of getting a positive result and that's what we did.
If you are the team with 73 per cent of the possession then it's what you do with it that counts and on the night Celtic didn't do enough.
They only had one shot on target, which for that amount of possession I'd think would be disappointing for Brendan and his team.
If he wants to insinuate that Celtic could not have broken down 11 amateur players, which is what he was insinuating, then I think he underestimates his own abilities as a coach and the ability of his players because I'm pretty sure Celtic would beat 11 firemen.
I didn't see Brendan after the game, we didn't have the usual post-match chat so I don't know if he was frustrated or not after the results we've had against them this year.
I don't think he should be too frustrated seeing as they have two trophies in the bag already and the chance to make it three next week.
Would it have harmed them to have a bit of a go in a meaningless match against a team with no strikers?

Most probably a 7 - 1 defeat. ;)

Short corners, when done correctly, are better than the usual standard cross.
Generally agree. :thumbsup:

Any of them can be effective if done properly though. Same as 3 or 4 at the back, same as zonal v man-for-man. There isn’t one approach which is absolutely right or wrong. Just effin practice the one that best suits the players and style of play, and get better at it.

Not only is Clarke correct but Rodgers would do well to takes notes for when the tables are turned in the champions league

I'm pretty sure a Stevie clarke managed Celtic wouldn't ship 7 goals in Europe, albeit I also expect the football most other weeks wouldn't be sparkling either

It's up to our manager to find that balance and the pressure is on him to do that next season because while my own expectations are pretty low as soon as we hit the group stages, a couple of humpings is not on

Fair enough. I would be nowhere near as confident of navigating the qualifying rounds if Clarke was our manager

Rodgers could have chosen his words more carefully and Clarke has responded in a pretty civil and professional way.

For the lads discussing set pieces I started a topic on it after one of the games in March - 8 pages of discussion and some links to articles discussing the effectiveness of corners and I think there was something written by CelticByNumbers as well. :thumbsup:

http://kerrydalestreet.co.uk/topic/11064416/1/

General consensus was that we aren't very good at them. :lol:

Edit: The CBN articles:

This. There's absolutely nothing wrong with what Clarke has said. We've had the same condescending crap from clubs in the Champions League when we've defended well.

Perhaps Rodgers should take note and actually learn the value of being able to set up an underdog to scrape results.

Clarke is a class act, he isn't one to let BR's comments go without having a pop back but he's been clever with his response.

I like BR but there was no need for his comments the other night. He did this at Liverpool too towards the end and his mask slipped.

Every manager has his moments.

Clarke wasn't moaning about refs when his team was winning every week, for example.

His mask slipped. Aye, his carefully cultivated image of not saying anything to annoy Kilmarnock players and fans has just been exposed. I expect the whole facade to come crumbling down soon anytime soon.

Feck it - I'll bite - Explain "his mask slipped"?

Love how this comes from a Killie fan who have had such football luminaries as Wiliamson,Hunffries,Calderwood and Elbows managing them in the last 20 years or so - That shower of feckers didn't even bother with masks.

Hunffries....how long did that take you to think up?

Am I not allowed to be critical of BR? Anyone who watched that cringeworthy documentary he did with Liverpool can see that his persona is an all an act.

I'm sorry if supporting another team and us not having great managers such as Macari, Brady, Dr Jo, Barnes et al stops me from commenting on somebody making daft comments.

A year ago Rodgers wouldn't have moaned about grass, calling teams 11 firemen.

Take a look at his latter months at Liverpool and you'll see comparisons.

Rodgers has complained about pitches in Scotland, including our own, since he arrived at Celtic.

I don't agree with the firemen comments. I do agree with the moaning about carrots growing their grass long to prevent teams playing a decent passing game, cos I prefer that to hoofball.

He's doing a decent job for a manager who has a fake persona. Just glad the players are too stupid to see through it all.
