The BIG Football Thread

OK, I concede, but I'm sure most players wouldn't say no to that kind of move and increased paycheck.

 

More sad news in the football world.

Dr Jozef Venglos has passed away aged 84.

Fondly remembered by Celtic fans in his single season as manager he was the man who signed club legend Lubomir Moravcik.

In a varied career he was the first non British or Irish person to manage in the EPL top flight when he took the reigns at Aston Villa in 1990.

He also had spells in charge of the Czechoslovakia, Malaysia and Slovakia national teams, as well as roles on the Fifa and Uefa technical committees and will be remembered as an absolute gentleman and mentor to some of the best players the game has seen.

RIP Dr Jo.

 

Very sad day for football Dr Jo was a legend even before he joined Celtic. Always seemed such a nice person any time I watched him do an interview and was a master tactician that had the knack of turning average players into top class players.

RIP Dr. Jo

 

Hibs 0 - Rangers 1 Alfredo Morelos

Rangers very lucky to get the win. Morelos should have been sent off in the first half for stomping on Ryan Porteous. How the ref and his assistants missed it I will never know. He shouldn't have been on the park to score the goal.



Celtic 2 - Hamilton 0

A goal each for Leigh Griffiths and French Eddy

 

Good to see our strikers are doing what they're paid for at last!! I didn't watch it, decided to watch the UTD game instead. Starting to think I'm the jinx.... Celtic lose... Utd win.... Celtic win... Utd lose!!

Bad loss against Sheff Utd tonight and missed the chance to go top again.

On the continent tho..... This is just porn from Sevilla. 37 uninterrupted passes involving all 11 players resulting in a goal against Valencia. Fantastic!

Even worst it was Oliver Burke who played for Celtic a while back who scored the winner against Man Utd

 

Yarp. Insult to injury. His first goal in the EPL too!!

 

If it's true that Zlatan racially abused Lukaku then he can go fuck himself. I can't stand anyone who is racist/homophobic/transphobic

 

Two ex UTD team mates none the less @Flame!! Totally agree with you @AmandaRose but then I can't stand Zlatan. Most overrated player in history imo.

Absolutely loved this tweet last week exposing the great pretender....

 

As a Rangers fan it's not even funny anymore to see the Celtic result today. So sad to see how the Celtic team are falling apart. Will we ever have a season that ends up like helicopter Sunday again? Our league is shit something needs to be done to make other teams more competitive. Every year one team dominates the league and the rest of the teams aren't even close to the winners.

 

All im saying is Lennon got the job first time round after Tony Mowbray capitulated against St Mirren 4-0 away from home. He should lose his job immediately after that. 2-1 loss at home is as bad a result.

Not that we were catching up anyway but this is a fuckin shambolic mess of a shambles now.

You better look after my trophy. I looked after it with great affection for 7 and a half years after we got it back from you lot with a broken fin!! I expect to win it back next year in one peice!!!

 

Your trophy who's the most successful team in the world again?

 

Yeah... The NEW one. It's MY trophy. They're (were) ALL mine.


That was the day after the Invincible Treble was won. Got my pic with the EPL one when Leicester won it too!

 

Olivier Ntcham wants to go to Marseille their fans were setting fire to their training ground the other day and attacking players and that's still a more attractive prospect than staying at Celtic. Shows you just how bad things are at Celtic at the moment

 

Andre Villas-Boas has been suspended by Marseille after criticising the signing of Olivier Ntcham from Celtic. Andre Villas-Boas had offered his resignation to the Marseille board; former Chelsea and Tottenham boss did not want the club to sign Olivier Ntcham; Celtic midfielder arrived at Ligue 1 club on loan on Deadline Day; club to launch disciplinary proceedings.

More news to follow lol

Edit some more news

Hopes of Rafa Benitez taking over at Celtic appear to have suffered a blow as reports in Italy suggest he'll return to Napoli.

Parkhead boss Neil Lennon is under pressure after a disastrous title defence, with Rangers sitting 23 points clear and all but certain to stop 10 In A Row.

The manager's position was due to be reviewed in January but so far there has been no communication from the club about the results of the process.

CEO Peter Lawwell will depart at the end of the season and, while Lennon insists that won't affect his own future, many expect the Irishman to follow.

Celtic supporters are hoping for a bold appointment in the vein of Brendan Rodgers and Benitez has been touted after leaving a lucrative role in China.

 

Meh, that soap operas borin now. Ntcham situation is hilarious but they can fuckin keep him!!

Currently watching the red devils rip the saints apart!! 4 nil half time and thats what they get for not giving us forster and then not playing him!! Another 4 goals please utd!!

 

@Lostbhoy good night for both your teams.

 

Outstanding! 9 nil and Southampton down to 9 players, goal chopped off by an offside kneecap and absolutely no sympathy from me!!!

I used to call Southampton Southceltic since they would sign a lot of our players but they played like us tonight hahaha!! Glad I watched that.
