Glasgow Celtic have a habit of late smash and grabs on Heart of Midlothian. Henry Smith will need to be as watchful on those high crosses as an English top order batsman in Australia on a tempter just outside of off stump.
This is shit although he has a system and heâs playing it, even if the players havenât got a notion what heâs drawing on his clipboard.
Presume heâll get serious wedge in the January window.
Mark McGhee isnât around today.
McEntee a meath or cavan man? Fair play to him
Hearts fan singing âkeep the board, keep the board, keep the board.â
Celtic managers are supposed to be messiahs.
They are not supposed to be seen using tactics boards. The optics of this are utterly horrific.
Unfortunately it looks like the decision makers at Celtic Park have been fooled into believing they were signing Gil Scott Heron rather than a Fisher-Price Ruben Amorim.
After less than one game, it already looks like the players have decided âwho they fuck is this guy?â

Maeda being really petulant at times. MON had him back firing but this is âeye on getting out of here in Januaryâ attitude.
Tiiiiieeerrrrrrnnneeeeyyyy
VAR might find a way to disallow this.
1-2. FT. An awful lot to ponder there.
An awful game and an awful performance
Perhaps Celtic might have been better off appointing Stephen Kenny as interim manager rather than God.
God is a hard act to follow and God doesnât use tactics boards.
I canât help but think Monsieur Nancy is a victim of how he looks. When he speaks, people expect him to speak in the voice of the Godfather Of Soul. He doesnât speak like that at all. And thus he is damned.
You kinda goâŚAnge lost 3 of his first 6 games & people were ridiculing him & the team but he had the force of personality to bend everybody to his will.
We already have Boyd post match with the âmanager playing connect 4 on the touchlineâ stuff & the media, as I say, will pounce on this & try to make Nancy a figure of fun.
I didnât like how the manager seemed to panic at 0-2 & Celtic became very ragged, but itâs one game only.

The tactics board is a disaster.
Itâs the sort of thing Iâd use if I was put in charge of Liverpool just to rile the fans up even more.
It doesnât get any easier for Monsieur Gaffer. Evan Ferguson will be along on Thursday to bag himself a confidence boosting hat trick.
The optics of Coach Nancy with his clipboard looked as bad as Jofra Archer walking into the Gabba yesterday with his pillow, presumably anticipating a relaxing day.
Well that was a very damp squib.
Really fell off after a bright start to both halves. Second goal was sloppy as well we the first.
Seemed to lack belief in the new system then. Didnât move it quickly enough and left the centre backs on the ball a lot. Few disappointing individual performances too.
There will likely be an overreaction to the new manager element. As @Bandage said some of the optics werenât great. But the OâNeill era was always short term and the biggest underlying problem is definitely the squad. Didnât even have enough credible subs to bring on.
Celtic could have won 5.2 today. We were very unlucky not to be 2.0 up in the first 20 mins and could have levelled it at the end. Hearts werenât great.

A lot of Celtic fans are wankers , gettin on the players early .

Celtic supporters saw Martin OâNeill come in and demonstrate that all the stuff about âneeding timeâ is bullshit.
Most Celtic supporters wanted Martin OâNeill to stay in charge.
When you dispense with one of the clubâs biggest all time legends, the new man in that nobody had ever heard of had better hit the ground running to justify the decision to hire him instead of the all time legend.
