saintlyscot Posted January 11, 2015 Share Posted January 11, 2015 Injuries to Broonie, Biton and Guidetti during yesterday's loss against psv. Also Ron said he is interested in signing players from the national team and says the Norwegian league is much harder than the Scottish league claiming that if Stromgodset played at 80% they would lose 5-0. Considering his team has dropped so many points and isn't top of the league that is crazy talk. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
northernscum Posted January 11, 2015 Share Posted January 11, 2015 Are there any actual quotes for this? Or is it just the usual bullshit paper talk? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iainmac1 Posted January 11, 2015 Share Posted January 11, 2015 says the Norwegian league is much harder than the Scottish league claiming that if Stromgodset played at 80% they would lose 5-0. Don't really understand this bit? Lose to who? Is he saying stromgodset would pump celtic? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
northernscum Posted January 11, 2015 Share Posted January 11, 2015 Don't really understand this bit? Lose to who? Is he saying stromgodset would pump celtic? Think it means if Stromgodset play at 80% in their own league they would lose heavily, whereas if Celtic play at 80% they win more often than not in the Scottish premiership. Like the OP says though, bit of a hard neck when they are having one of their worst seasons for ages! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

deecie Posted January 11, 2015 Share Posted January 11, 2015 Seems fair enough from Delia, that's why Celtic are so far ahead at the top of the league Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Like the OP says though, bit of a hard neck when they are having one of their worst seasons for ages! Ah gotcha. All that means is that there is more teams around the same level. In Scotland we have many teams around the same level and then celtic generally a level above due to far greater finances. The last amateur team I played for if anyone in the league played at 80% they would lose as it was a very similar standard for all teams. Does that mean our league is stronger than the Scottish premiership, not at all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SMcoolJ Posted January 11, 2015 Share Posted January 11, 2015 If those comments are even close to accurate it simply further confirms that he's a total clown. The whole "holiday" thing is a nonsense too. That all said, he is at least making Scottish fitba interesting by being completely inept and clueless. My prediction is that Celtic will win the league by 8 points (which isn't really much of an achievement) with Utd and Dons winning the two cups. Celtic will bin him in the summer.

I'm sorry, but I don't accept that prediction at all. Aberdeen will win the SPL. United will win the League Cup. Partick will win the Scottish Cup. Hearts will win the First Division.

northernscum Posted January 11, 2015 Share Posted January 11, 2015 The bit i find most interesting about these "quotes" is the apparent injury list with Brown, Guidetti & Biton. That, if true, could be a far bigger worry to Celtic than their dodgy form up till now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Squirrelhumper Posted January 11, 2015 Share Posted January 11, 2015 Biton was their best player at Rugby Park. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Angus_Young Posted January 11, 2015 Share Posted January 11, 2015 Biton was their best player at Rugby Park. I only watched the first half. Henderson was more of a standout IMO, although granted you boys didn't exactly make it difficult. I can only assume Celtic thought they would be a bit more comfortable in the League by now when arranging this. Still in the cups and challenging for the league, as well as Euro games coming up. Add to the fact a good few of their squad are involved at International level, it doesn't make any sense adding more games to their calender. If it means they win feck all then I certainly won;t be complaining mind you Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

northernscum Posted January 11, 2015 Share Posted January 11, 2015 Are Celtic still insisting on calling this a "mid season break"? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kps022000 Posted January 11, 2015 Share Posted January 11, 2015 It's a glorified kick about on what looked like a closed door stadium. The break is to train in the warmth, play some games and have a bit of bonding. For those concerned, Scott Brown was a cut that required some stitches and the other two are fine. Given the choice I would have preferred us playing in the league but the conditions this week make the decision understandable. We will just focus on one competition at a time and see where this terrible season takes us. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rossy Posted January 11, 2015 Share Posted January 11, 2015 Celtic, in their arrogance, thought the league would be over by the time they'd had this wee holiday. With all respect, f*ck them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fully agree we should be playing league games not a jolly abroad but to say we 'thought the league would be over' is just your typical pile of hearsay pish that gets trotted out on here time after time. Shouldn't really surprise me to see folk posting it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shouldn't really surprise me to see folk posting it. Just read that Celtic have six midweek games before the split, Aberdeen have one. Just as well Celtic have a superior squad.
