Jacky1990 Posted January 27, 2021 Share Posted January 27, 2021 16 minutes ago, Erih Shtrep said: I base it on Gallagher being far more commanding than Davies - who's never impressed me at all. Gallagher being taller, stronger, two footed, and Gallagher playing at a higher level than Davies. Gallagher also knows the league and would be an excellent fit at Celtic. Gallagher is everything Shane Duffy isn't. Serious question, do you watch much of Preston? Cause earlier you referred to Davies as "this chap". But saying you have never been impressed suggests you watch him fairly regularly. If Gallagher signs for Celtic, he'd be no more than 3rd or 4th choice centre back come next season if Celtic had any realistic ambition. He's a good player for a mid to lower table Premiership team, but so was/is Jack Hendry. Maybe even good for an Aberdeen or a Hibs. But he isnt good enough to start for either Celtic or Rangers IMO. Being better than Duffy isnt exactly high praise since Duffy might genuinely be the worst central defender in the league. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The moment he lost 5-1 to Celtic with a team that wasn't even his, he was done. If a new manager comes in and takes a bodying in one of the two Old Firm games left, he'll lose a lot of support. It's not fair, but it's how it is. He certainly wasn’t written off by the board though, he was given a fair whack of financial backing. Its pretty evident our board dont give a f**k who the manager should or shouldn’t be (in terms of fan input) anyway otherwise Lennon would have been binned months ago. Tbh I cant see a proper derby drubbing with the lack of fans driving for more. We were absolutely there for the taking in the first game this season and it just ended up being a 2-0 win as they decided to not really go up a gear when it was clearly there.

Lenny decides to try three at the back again , Dec in the middle of the three Sorted ! Edited January 27, 2021 by ewan14 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aye, seemingly doing well out there at the heart of a back 3. Hope he stays out there or comes back to a club where he will actually get game time. If he does that, he wont be far away from the Scotland squad once the Euros are done I'd reckon. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When we signed him I said he was still way too raw and not good enough, he was a panic buy when he had 1 fit defender for a knock out European game. Despite all that we may actually make money off him as his loan buy out clause is more than what we paid. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gallagher is nearly 30 and hasn't been especially impressive this season. Davies is much better on the ball as well as being left-sided which they don't currently have. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You've never seen his play but you've concluded he's a better signing that Gallagher. Having seen both play I would sign Gallagher on the basis he's far superior at playing the game of football. Davies is actually quite decent with his right foot and of course Gallagher is completely two-footed so there's not a huge deal between them. For me Celtic lack a commanding CB which - at nearly 1 ft taller - Gallagher. Gallagher of course will be staring in the Euros playing against the likes of Harry Kane and has experience against Morelos, Edouward and in Europe. Clearly a higher level. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

d31 Posted January 27, 2021 Share Posted January 27, 2021 I'd just like to remind everyone that I called it on here after five minutes that Barkas was not a goalkeeper. Quite a few wanted to defend him. Oh dear. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why? It's never been disputed that the Scottish Government gave permission. The criticism was for going ahead with the trip just as cases soared and as Scotland was going into a national lockdown, and for ignoring the very protocols required as part of that permission. And of course criticism didn't just come from the government. Just about everyone thought it was a daft – and pointless – thing to do when the club's own fans couldn't leave their homes. And the way the club handled the criticism – sometimes acknowledging breaches, sometimes denying, apologising then not apologising – was shambolic.

The issue was that, given the deterioration in the Covid situation at the time of their trip, Celtic still chose to go on their jolly. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If only they had followed the rules laid out by the JRG, the trip itself was never the main issue. Though some people would say that the change in circumstances since the trip was approved was enough to cancel it. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dylangt7 Posted January 29, 2021 Share Posted January 29, 2021 ..unless the lockdown rules and restrictions changed after the 12th Nov but before the trip. or the approval was based on the existing rules... politicians will say anything for self preservation, the condemnation from them only followed the condemnation of the bulk of the country Just cos you are allowed doesnt mean you should... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G51 Posted January 29, 2021 Share Posted January 29, 2021 Celtic changing a CEO, a manager, 10+ players and possibly hiring a new DOF all in one summer? That's a hell of a lot of decisions to get right. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm genuinely baffled as to why a high profile business can't just accept responsibility for its own decisions. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
