Thread: Player Fracas At Celtic Park

the biggest jeer was definitely reserved for Samaras who took an absolute pounding.

Why is it always Samaras who takes all the abuse, I'm not saying he's a good player, but he does try his best, him and 3/4 of the squad are simply not good enough for Celtic, simple as. They all deserve the exact same amount of stick bunch of gutless bastard.

If I'm Lennon I tell everyone to walk away, listen to what they say and think about it and I'm going to answer the questions.

You'd tell the players to just put their heads down and walk away because you'll deal with the questions? Everything must be rosy in the world you live in. Time you realised shit at Celtic never runs accordingly especially when cunts like Reid are at the helm. The fans there today had a right to boo and jeer as much as they like. When you're getting paid 10k a week to lose matches they deserve the stick. What a fucking easy life those cunts have. They wouldn't know a hard day's graft if it hit them in the face. Brown should have stood up and been a man. Instead like a cowardly snake he decided he'd try and slither away unnoticed with the others. As a Celtic captain that my friend is a disgrace. It shows in one episode why the Celtic captaincy should never have went near him. His conduct on the field matches his off-field conduct. Absolute embarassment.

Singling out Samaras is also across the line, the guy does his best and is a genuinely nice bloke. Certainly doesn't deserve all the stick from our fans.

being a nice bloke gets you nowhere at celtic football club
Mogga - nice guy but shite manager
WGS- not the most popular but got the job done

Someone please tell that Irish and proud cunt to shut the fuck up and stop licking mcgeadys ring please. Fuckin complete fanny.

If Brown had stopped to "apologize" he would have been in a fight in 2 minutes, we all know that. Is that what you wanted so you could complain some more?

They would have appreciated an apology.

A fight within 2 minutes ? Don't talk nonsense.

I am well entitled to complain about the mess we are in although I would fucking certainly rather be celebrating right now. I wouldn't have liked to see a (an unlikely) fight anyway as you seem to imply.

Ah they thoroughly deserved it, they won't give a fuck anyway after they go back to their big cooshty houses and shit whilst the normal Tims scrape the money together to follow these mercenaries all over the country again.

And today, the whole team was getting abuse, certainly in the area I was sitting in. Not just Samaras.

Hardone has spoken. He says, 'Stop being so nice'.

Well from where I was sitting today, every single player was getting abuse not just Samaras.

Have to agree. For some strange reason i actually like the big guy although i do believe the stick he got today was merited. His desire leaves an awful lot to be questioned. Having said that it seems he was the only one as well as Keane that responded to the situation appropriately. Hope he trains harder over the coming weeks to prove every doubter wrong because he is a nice guy that has got the talent but sometimes it just doesn't happen for me. I call him a donkey from time to time because he is an infuriating player as well as the well known Samantha. But in all honesty he is useful when on his game as he's unplayable.

Everything around Celtic is crashing down. Wtf is going on?

The players aren't politicians, they would have given answers that make Lennon's job even harder. Truthful answers. Managers can't have that, so yes I would have told them to do just that because I'm not a fucking idiot. You guys here are so naive as to what players are allowed to/not allowed to say. There are clear rules and impromptu q/a sessions with a mob of angry fans certainly is not a good idea from a team morale point of view. Things would have been said that would have caused internal arguments. Drama that happens after losses such as this would have been leaked to the public. If you think Lennon's going to let this happen then you're insulting his intelligence.

I think you've made my point for me. The fact that you believe Brown has the capacity to come out and say that Samaras played shit today leads me to believe that deep down ( although unadmittedly) you don't think Brown is fit to be captain of Celtic?. Captains of Celtic know what to say and when to say them. They know what's accepted and what's expected. They know the level of performance that is desired. Brown hasn't a clue about anything. When the camera panned to him after the defeat today he hadn't a fucking clue what to do. He looked completely dejected. We need a man as captain, not a mouse. We need someone that can pull all this together when it starts to come apart. The next few months are going to be a nightmare and i expect our coming seasons to be even worse.

Dark days ahead fellows, dark days indeed.

No interaction with that crowd was necessary. They were there, completely justifiably, to vent their anger... not be apologized to. If they were there to be apologized to there would have been a different tone to the whole thing. More of a shaming atmosphere that your mom gives you instead of the angry atmosphere that your dad gives you if you get what I'm saying. The fans deserve an apology but if you're confronting people like that it's not the best way to get one. The players should apologize in the media, or at a team function with the players, not in a volatile situation such as today.

I just don't like the way that Brown, Naylor and N'Guemo just snuck away but ah what the fuck you gonna do about it. It's done now, fuck them.

I would keep clear of any functions for now, they might turnn up in hoodies again

I'll excuse the others mate. But what Brown did as Celtic captain was pretty fucking spineless and it's a spinlessness that's branching out to every department of our great club.

Anything less would have been a mistake, but Lennon's a smart guy. He knew how to handle it.

And I'm not so grim on the outlook for next year.

Keane didn't run along to his car nor did O'Dea or McGeady. The players weren't under any instructions. They done as they pleased. I'm a bit annoyed with what O'Dea and Aiden done although i don't know what was said. However, answering back to the fans isn't a nice thing to do and as someone said here, Tommy Burns would be disgusted if Aiden has done anything deemed offensive.

Today's been a bit of a mess by all accounts. Think we best forget about it and try look on the positives, what's left of them.
