F.C. Copenhagen

I agree with that.

When you look at our sort of recent Champions League history, you go back to the last time we were in it under Eric Ten Hag, where we had the games against, was it Galatasaray, Bayern Munich, Old Trafford? I know we beat Copenhagen.

But they were poor.

We were poor in that campaign.

He ain't getting there, is he, by any means? For Van de Ven's weakness maybe on the ball, his pace is a get out of jail free card.

And just because he got there before him, it was a bit like Xavi's last year, or even Johnson did it in Europe against, was it Copenhagen, wasn't it? But we've also seen a few of these not given.

There was quite a few back in the last season.

I think Arsenal had one.

And then who are they playing again in Andorra? Two Danish sides.

They will host Copenhagen and Aarhus.

And then their other away game, slightly disappointingly, is against Gaddafi in Madrid or in the south of Madrid.

So it's not a huge journey.

absolutely zero intention

to go anywhere near it again I mean I think as Tony says for what I've people I've spoke to and for speaking to you and other people I think it's more and more people are doing the same thing and I've never had a big issue with people staying on it or whatever but I'm glad that people are finally wising up to it and saying what the fuck's the point I've said it before they clearly don't give a fuck about Europe why the fuck should we this is really that simple but where does it all go rang summer probably when we fucking decided that the best people for the job were the people that were in there already and our infinite wisdom and this is why this is why it was being compared before with the whole sort of Neil Lennon thing when he came back and we gave him the job and the showers and it's the same thing it's very much somebody came in and just was the right person to just hold it together no change too much and just get it out of the line that's what O'Neill Maloney Fawzi that's what they've done and that should have been brilliant thanks very much see you later we'd have to move the club forward now and go in the right direction and try and get the club an identity and get things in place and we did and now we're paying the price of that it's really that simple we were speaking earlier before Darren about there's been loads of stats and stuff flying about and I mean I've said it on here we've all said it on here before games or after games this season about how fucking bad we are no even in terms of own the ball and in possession which I'll come on to in a minute but the sheer volume of fucking shot and pressure that we face is genuinely criminal and it genuinely might be one of the worst Celtic teams I've ever seen it just stopping the opposition get chances whether they're shot for 35 yards or a tap in it doesn't matter but we give up chances like nothing I have ever seen in my life there was a few stats about teams that were faced in their last guns at home faced 20 shots last guns away faced 40 Rangers away 13 finished arrows 14 Rangers at home 15 Benfica 26 Hearts 20 Celtic Eagle 22 that's fucking disgraceful whatever way you want to dress it up is disgraceful I seen an arse that as well and it was not even just about the team just now just about Celtic and Europe in general and it was Celtic have conceded twice within 10 minutes of the same half in 12 of their 40 European games over the last 5 years there's one team who've done it in more matches in that period of time and it's Carabao right again disgraceful our performances in Europe are honestly so far away from where we should be where teams of a sort of similar size where teams of even a smaller size it's so far away from where it should be and it really is disgraceful that there should be so many people removed from their positions because they have got us to where we are now and it's such a bad level of mismanagement that it wouldn't stand anywhere else in football a team who really wants to consider themselves is a big club that's what we want to be we claim we're we want to be world class we've heard all this shite before but any serious football team that wants to charge fans top dollar absolute top dollar and you serve up that shite there would be people removed because they're saying you're fucking terrible at your job I know there's a bit of there's some people looking at you in the background and I'm sure they'll be on Twitter and things about comparisons in terms of seats ticket money season ticket prices and all that with comparative clubs when you look at like Club Rouge and Copenhagen and really the value for money that we get and we get fucking shafted absolutely shafted and it's stuff like this that you serve up and you go what the fuck's the point like I say that's why so many people now are turning and saying ah fuck that I'm not going to bother my arse we can all take getting beat we can all take losing games of football but it's the fashion in which we do it it's the fact that we don't even fucking bother trying well if you're not going to bother trying I'm not going to bother coming what's the fucking what's the point in terms of the game it's like the management team don't have a clue it's as simple as that like Tony said it earlier when we come up a team we better know how they show us up it doesn't need to be a lot I think we'll get away with it a wee bit more this season because I would say the standard of the league is worse than it was last year when you look at Motherwell obviously fucking half a cliff they are in serious danger of relegation from what I've seen of them this season Hearts I know they are suffering a bit of a fucking crisis of injuries at the minute but also fucking chronic so I think the standard of the league is poor but even when we play games domestically like we gave up so many fucking chances and you go into Europe and let's be honest Celta Vigo they're not the Celta Vigo of old either Iago Aspas is 39 year old like he's not one of their starters anymore and he was out there like he was 24 loving life just completely schooling us from start to finish and it's it's just a complete failing of the management team it's no having any structure of your play it's as the boys mentioned earlier on it's And nah, we're not going to sign any defenders because we're pretty set in that position.

Who looks at the four defenders that we typically have at centre-half and thinks, brilliant, we don't need to improve them? Three of them are never good enough for Celtic.

And Carter Vickers is a bit shaky now because since he's been back, again, it might be an injury thing.

Kano Zalgiris against Bran.

Red Star Belgrade against Copenhagen.

Paphos against Riga.

And then Jablonic against Brighton.

It's the same old, same old with Manchester United.

It happened last time we got in the Champions League, do you remember? Well, we're in a group with Copenhagen, with Galatasaray, with Bayern Munich, and we thought we've got a chance of qualifying from that group.

We finished bottom and we didn't even qualify for the Europa League when you still could qualify for the Europa League by finishing third.

Last season, Spurs, I think, got out of the league in the Champions League.

You've got Monaco, good team.

Freiburg, Atalanta, Copenhagen.

There's some decent

teams there.
