Their amount of safety nets this season (since introduction of conference league) only highlights how this is the best time ever to ‘speculate to accumulate’ as the risks right now are far less than ever before. The problem is we have been brainwashed into a complete ZERO RISK strategy & accepting this as wise & ok. This however just isn’t football. There has to be risks taken in football for any genuine hopes of reward. We will NEVER be rewarded if we continue the ‘also ran’ attitudes Link to comment

sheepcrooky Posted February 24, 2022 Share Posted February 24, 2022 Celtic have missed some sitters. Some of the Noggie birds in the crowd are tidy. Link to comment

JamieMT Posted February 24, 2022 Share Posted February 24, 2022 The joke's on the rest of us as much as it is Celtic. Celtic losing 5-1 on aggregate to a club with a smaller budget than Aberdeen, Hearts & Hibs, should have all other SPL teams asking serious questions of why there's such a big gap between them and the Glasgow clubs.

RED_JOHN Posted February 24, 2022 Share Posted February 24, 2022 Kjetil Knutsen showing Celtic that he would easily win the league with a team like Aberdeen if he was offered the opportunity to manage in Scotland. An outstanding manager who we didn’t approach as all our cards were on the table trying to get Jim Goodwin. 1 Link to comment
JamieMT Posted February 24, 2022 Share Posted February 24, 2022 Outstanding manager, but we were never going to get him. Aberdeen are bigger than Bodo, but we'll be significantly smaller than his next destination. The time to approach Knutsen was at least 12 months back. Link to comment
JamieMT Posted February 24, 2022 Share Posted February 24, 2022 Assuming we did go for him, it's a bit disheartening that learning of Knutsen's apparent lack of interest, we went for one of the usual suspects. That said it's all academic. Goodwin's got the gig now and he has my support. Link to comment

Jigsaw666 Posted April 13, 2022 Share Posted April 13, 2022 Oh so the automatic Champions League spot for our league winners is not quite as automatic as we've been led to believe. God please let this come to fruition. The squealing from the victims (assuming they win it) would be too good to miss out on. I know its a long shot but I can pray. Link to comment

TheRedPrawcess Posted April 13, 2022 Share Posted April 13, 2022 I heard this one earlier from a Celtic fan. Something to do with Villarreal and Benfica still being in the current Champions league and outwith the Champions league spots in their domestic leagues. Think it needs one of them to win the current Champions league which is probably unlikely. He also mentioned that Russian teams and their potential for not being involved in the next Champions League might save Celtic should this be an issue anyway. Link to comment

Your grasp of European football was laid bare when you claimed we'd not be playing Qarabag as they would be knocked out by your Cypriot club. They knocked your lot out, hammered us at Pittodrie and got to the groups where they never lost a game and eventually got knocked out by Marseille. Nurses n fitba. Pfffffft! Link to comment

Jigsaw666 Posted April 14, 2022 Share Posted April 14, 2022 Whichever of the two get to the pot of gold first has got themselves some advantage over the other. Play their cards right and hold onto that top position for 3 or 4 years and the financial gap between the two could be significant. Every chance our league could turn into a permanent one horse race unless of course the other one spends way beyond their means to try to keep up. ? Link to comment

Aye you'd think with sales in recent years of the likes of Tierney, Armstrong, Ajer, Frimpong, Edouard etc. that the gap is considerable enough given the huns don't seem to have sold anyone?
