Kilmarnock v Celtic - Comments

If all who sing these songs are so committed to the cause, why don’t they turn up when a Republican march is on?

To me it’s an either or.

Either they aren’t really that committed to the cause
Or
They don’t have the balks to face down the loyalists who turn out to oppose it.

Now if I were to see 6,000 marching with their 70’s shades on I may have more respect even if I would still prefer them to keep them for marching, but I don’t. I see a max 200 souls matching along the road.

Why don’t Irish fans sing them, yet we do and “ always” will?

Plastic Provos. If you believe that much turn out. It is used a stick to beat us.

I have no problem with people have heartfelt solidarity, but if that consists of singing provo songs when we are playing shit at away games, then forgive me for not thinking it’s real commitment.

Hit the streets and show your love for the BBB. At least that takes courage and is the right platform.

This divides the support. Half think it’s embarressing, the other half don’t.

I don’t think it will ever change and is one of the reasons I would never want us to play in the English Premiership even if they wanted us to.

That’s all I have to say about that.

Jedi mate let it go?
 
Lawwell and the Board aren't involved with the players. The Football and scouting are all under Brendans control. Ask yourself this what difference to the team and performances would it make if the whole Board resigned. None.

There is something wrong with the players. They are collectively hopeless and seem to have no motivation. Their confidence is shot. They are not playing for the manager, they seem to no longer believe in him.

I don't know how we turn this around.

Thursdays team had only 3 players brought in by Brendan. Today only Hendry. Mulumbu, Sinclair 3.
Brendan has bought around 20 players to the club. What significance has this?

Calm yourself, FB!

Lawwell has been in the job long enough. No one lasts forever, it's not a good thing to have someone in the same position for a long time. No one knows that better than Desmond. If anyone thinks DESMOND DOESN't have an ideal replacement lined up for Lawell then they don't know him.

Brendan won't be here forever either.

It's clear to all that our manager is not happy. It is also clear to all that Lawwell let him down; I suspect he lied over negotiating details regarding McGinn. Brendan had built up a good relation ship with McGinn, he knows what exactly went on, irrespective of what Lawwell told him.

I hope, that is all, that Lawwell's stranglehold over negotiations are coming to an end.

I think you'll find that the recent comments from the Lyon Chairman tend to disprove that belief.

Any winning team needs strengthened. The players ooze boredom at the minute. New faces are not a luxury, they are a necessity.
 
Monkee, the only thing that is embarrassing is your comment. Please enlighten me as to which song was sectarian. After that could you provide evidence that the Green Brigade were the culprits who were singing these so called abhorrent songs.
Any pro IRA songs sung are political and in no way sectarian, indeed many Irish republicans were ,and indeed still are Protestant. Some people may be offended by Irish songs but they are generally bigots themselves.
Would you make a similar comment if Afro-american people sang an anti klu Klux Klan ditty. Or a we shall overcome refrain. Eejit.

Your making a lot of assumptions there mate?
 
Monkee said:
So your saying Ira a songs are acceptable to sing at football matches? Celtic and other clubs have been warned about these songs countless times yet the gb can't help themselves. Sick of hearing them week in week out.

Appreciate that you do not like them but they are not sectarian and if you think so then you need a wee bit of education. A lot of Celtic fans find these songs a bit beyond the pale but to label them unacceptable only shows a level of ignorance in your attitude towards your fellow fans who have an Irish background.
Read some history mate.
 
There is clearly a problem between Rodgers and the board, that can explain a dip in European performances but it is clearly a management issue how poorly the team is playing domestically.

One point from St Mirren and Killie?

We signed St Mirren's best player in the summer, Killie's best player was released by Celtic seven years ago before playing for Partick Thistle and Luton.

Brendan Rodgers should be able to take full points from the last two matches without over exerting anyone.

Wednesday at St Johnstone will be very difficult, very.

What are these sectarian songs he talks about ?
 
Uztai said:
I've said it before but we should offer him an improved contract right now, add a £10m buyout clause so that he can leave if he wants anyway. It'd be a win for both sides.

Only problem is Uztai that he would have to be extremely stupid to accept it. A short term wage increase or a £ 5 m signing on fee ? I know what I would want m8

Brendan has bought way too many players who aren’t good enough. There is no denying that. From now on it has to be a couple who can actually improve us. It’s still Ronnie and Neil’s team.

That only 3 of Rogers buys played today is a damning indictment of his acquisition’s. He needs to stop signing duds.
