Strachan must go... - Page 4

Martin O'Neill never got sacked because he got to the UEFA Cup final and because he's Irish. Strachan on the other hand will always have people whispering because he's not 'one of them'.

Well, he got to the UEFA cup final, as Stew said.
Never won fuck all mind, but his success in the transfer market, I think, has been unrivalled in my life time.
You could argue Wim Jansen's case, since he found THE GOD, but, overall team wise, it goes to O'Neill for me.

Seriously, compare Strachans signings to O'Neill for a second..

You really are a total specky retard

There are a hardcore that never liked him, but not because he "wasn't irish", idiot.
It's because he played for Aberdeen, and was a wee wanker then aswell (I could point out specific instances when he held complete contempt for the Celtic support) and STILL, as OUR MANAGER, talks an absolute pile of pish.
There's nae denying Martin O'Neil's irish charm warmed us all, but a spade is a spade, a good guys a good guy, and an arseholes an arsehole.
And yer man Gordon is a bawbag, I've witnessed his bawbaggery first hand.

Not a "crisis" by any stretch of imagination, it's swings and round-abouts.
A few seasons up, and a few down.
I just plain don't like the man.
Get him oot.

It sickens me that "fans" can turn on a man ager so quickly.

The crowd were fuckign shocking again last night, although a large amount were part time supporters that had got public sale tickets.

You support the team that's on the park, you don't scream at them with fuck all reasoning.

AWESOMEUS MAXIMUS · 19th March 2008, 7:14pm

Agreed.
Absolute torture sitting infront of two tadgers that moaned, hummed, haw'd and shouted all game.
Frustrating, but some of the abuse I heard Caldwell & Donati get was unreal.
We know they aren't playing the best, but theres nae need for calling them X, Y, Z, especially at the game when we should be supporting them.

Luckily my old dear told them to shut it haha

Hopefully that wasnt directed at me, old Christopolos?

Caldwell is amazing.

You're a grumpy wee cunt and I rarely agree with you, but I save the real rage for the prawn sandwich cunts at parkhead

Fans pay their wages, and if they're not doign their job fans have every right to complain.

Just checking, because although I'm saying get him out, I don't sit and abuse his tactics or the players on the park.
What ever team is on the park or wearing a Celtic top and are supported through and through, week in and week out.
Regardless of who is the manager and who is playing pish.

But I reserve the right to an opinion on the man (which isn't voiced anywhere other than in conversation/discussions).

I've defended the guy left right and centre (give him a chance, as long as he is delivering on the park who gives a fuck about what he says etc), but the guy has been a tosser from day one, and now, as we stare a full season with no silverware smack in the face, my patience with his attitude has finally been lost.

Again, aye and naw.
As a supporter, or even a human being, of course you have the right to judge the players by their performances...
but voicing them in the form of "FOR FUCKSAKE CALDWELL YA WANKER, THATS FUCKING PISH" etc, is beyond a joke, and surely contradicts the whole point in being a supporter.

Aye, I think there are pish players, but when I'm at a game, as a supporter supporting my team, I do just that.

I'll wait till its all said and done before voicing my concerns.
Getting on their backs does fuck all.

Aye, that's pretty much the same for me - I've defended him and backed him when others haven't but he's an a downward spiral now and other than miraculously winning the league I can't really see how he can continue. Lawell will have him as manager forever but thankfully Dermot Desmond doesn't seem to be someone who would carry on with someone throwing good money after bad and I reckon he'll tell Lawell to get shot of him.

Here's hoping mate, eh?

The hardcore don't like him because he didn't play for Celtic and he isn't Irish. I'm sure people have other reasons but if you're telling me that a % of your fans don't hate him for that i'm pretty sure you're wrong.

And i don't wear glasses thank you

Zippy · 19th March 2008, 7:48pm

Fingers crossed - the one thing that will hurt the PLC is low attendances and they've been on the slide this season. A Scottish Cup quarter final having such a low attendance is unheard of at Celtic Park since the stadium was rebuilt, the PLC will notice this and that'll add more pressure to Strachan.

I hope he fucking pulls it out the bag, wins all the remaining games and wins the league and if he does I'll consider myself a tit for saying all this.

What's Irish got to do with it? Don't be fucking mental, Liam Brady was Irish and we hated him - Tommy Burns isn't Irish and we fucking love him.
