I'm as devastated as the next Bhoy and the older I get the more I worry about my club (reckon I had about 3 hours sleep last night ) - however.......
Things do change quickly in football. Who would have quessed that less than 15 months after we trudged off the pitch at Sion in August 2011 that we would have beaten the mighty Barca and then qualified for the UCL last 16 shortly after? .
Our Europa League campaign that 2011/2012 season was the making of Lenny and his team in Europe the following season .
But to repeat history...... we need to sign the following before the deadline - left back, centre mid and at least one striker.
So let's be positive - at least until the feckers let us down again on deadline day
Trying to be positive...........

"I can't feel positive Steve.....it's that nagging feeling that RD is out of his depth."
I really hope this guy proves me wrong, and if he does i will take whatever stick comes my way.

Steve
I have a sense of relief that we are still in Europe but won't meet Bayern or Man C.
Club football in all uefa affiliate nations outside the Big Four have taken a hammering.
As I have said often and got pelters for it europa is about our level at the moment and we're in it.

I think we all have doubts when you see a display like last nights.
I was really angry after watching that display last night- many profanities were uttered throughout and though I appear calm on a forum in the aftermath I was quietly seething when I wrote about it yesterday
From my own point of view I dont think yesterday was a reflection of the sort of football that Deila wants us to play. There was no pressure on the ball at all, we sat back and let them have the ball for long periods and that wasnt good enough.
I'm not convinced that a guy who has spent his time talking about pressing the ball and quick passing would send the team out to do the exact opposite.
Maybe thats me being naive but after 8 games I'm prepared to give the manager the benefit of the doubt.
If it goes the way of Mowbray that opinion will gradually change but until he has proven that he cannot learn and adapt to Scottish football then he will have my backing.

Agree Europa is our level but it's the manner we went there is what is breaking me.

Tc...good points as always. It may be that your approach is the right one. However I'm a wee bit hesitant about the idea that ronny will have to prove he's a numpty. To be honest a strong suspicion will be enough for me. But for the Dundee united game I'd be giving him his jotters right now

Celtic played well to keep it down to one.
A brave effort indeed.
No need to panic just yet.

Ah, but think of all that lovely money that's been rolling into Parkhead oper the past 3-5 years bhoy-o.
Celtic are streets ahead of anybody in Scottish football in terms of finances with the ability to add to their squad almost on a weekly basis.
As long as they stay ahead of the pack (who cares if they never win the Treble?) and qualify every year for Europe, they will always be the top team team in Scotland forever and ever with lots of cash in hand to develop their youngsters then sell them on and make even more money. It's a no-brainer really isn't it?
At least until Rangers get themselves sorted out but that doesn't look like happening any time soon, so why should you be devasted?
You could be one of us!

Really you will get humped in that as welll unless celtic make some decent signings.
