Ich lass das mal hier so stehen
Where do I start? Let's begin with the absolute nonsense and rumors that have been circulating this morning, with many of our fans foaming at the mouth.
Kairat Almaty have allegedly fielded an ineligible player, and many of our fans are now demanding a 3-0 win... Have a day off; how embarrassing would that be? We are either good enough to win a game or even a tie over two legs, or we're not. Let's stop clutching at straws over the possibility of a player being fielded who is ineligible. I certainly wouldn't want to qualify in the same scenario we did against Legia Warsaw all those years ago, as it's highly embarrassing for the club.
Moving on, Celtic as a team last night were absolutely abysmal all over the park, and as I have stated many times, the Celtic board have hung Brendan Rodgers out to dry. The manager has called for quality players to be brought in ALL SUMMER, and here we are on August 21st with the first leg of arguably one of our two most important games that we will play all season, and our squad is down to the bare bones when we are speaking about 'quality.'
That being said, Brendan Rodgers also must take part of the blame. We, the fans, have been saying for weeks that Adam Idah is not good enough, yet the manager persists in playing him rather than playing Maeda through the middle, which I don't understand. Your price tag should not guarantee you a place in our team.
The only players that deserve even the slightest mention from last night are Yang, and I can't believe I'm saying it, but Liam Scales. Were they excellent? No, but they stood out above the rest of the shite that was on display, and once again, Brendan Rodgers has had what can only be described as an embarrassing result against one of Europe's minnows.
The Celtic board must take their share of the blame, and they must do it publicly and acknowledge their failures. They appointed Paul Tisdale as head of football operations on October 16th, 2024, and since his appointment, we have regressed at the speed of light. So it begs the question, what the f**k has he been brought in for? Because at present, he is doing sweet f**k all and deserves to be ousted from his role.
Do I honestly feel we will go over to Kazakhstan on Tuesday and get a result? I know it sounds defeatist, but sadly I don't when I factor in the journey, the heat, and the altitude, which our lads won't be used to, not to mention the fact that Celtic Football Club has NEVER won away in Kazakhstan.
Are we a club in trouble? No, but we are f**king embarrassing at times, especially in Europe against these absolute nobody teams.
There are a lot of people to blame, but it starts at the top of this club's food chain, from Dermot Desmond right down the line. Get the f**king checkbook out and get the money spent—after all, the money is effectively our money. This is our football club, NOT your business.
We, the fans, pay our hard-earned money year in year out, and when prices of everything go up, we are always there paying our way, so we expect you parasites to do the same. You can't increase the prices for every single fan on ticket sales, merchandise, confectionery, etc., and not increase the player quality on the park. It simply doesn't work that way.
This board, while being successful for years—and might I add, over half of that period was with a piss-poor Rangers side who were out of the league for years and, once promoted, still pathetic—so spare me the bullshit of how good they have been for this club.
Happy clapping does not set standards; all it does is help the parasites that run this club, and it must end, and it must end now.
I could say so much more but for now it's not the time.
