The Dundee United game gave an indication that Celtic had a major issue, no midfield defensive cover. Five shoots from around the 18 yard box that hit the post/bar. How many goals have we lost in the same area?!!!

You'd have thought the fans had stormed the Vatican. Martin should stick to football and keep out of it

Paul Cuddighy detail on another podcast on the meetings with the club and lack of listening and no proper engagement.

@dqcelfc 10 hours ago

Excellent summary from John and absolutely spot on about the executive running of our club.

Great show John. Josh and Lewis' comments where balanced and sound. HH

I don't know what Lewis does for a living, but Josh, you're a mainstream journalist. Do you say anything to MON about how furious the fanbase are at the utter mess our team has become in the last 18 months? If not then why not? If you do then how is he responding? It's ridiculous to me that we've got journos on podcasts if they're not passing on the realities of how supporters really feel and just allowing them to believe their own ridiculous assumptions. Press conferences should be massively uncomfortable events for our manager and any members of the backroom staff atm and if they're not, then that's just a dereliction of duty as far as I'm concerned as it's just not expressing the realities

@stevengordon3183 10 hours ago

i think the other issues over an above is midfield is diabolical
and the defence is worse
more holes in it than tetley tea bags

elephant in the room; our captain has aged in position, stopped International games to stay affective, and slowed down considerably, while the club dithers.

@stevengordon3183 10 hours ago

it is clear our dressing room
is divided & not filled with any confidence

@stevengordon3183 10 hours ago

People have to remember Martin was heavily backed in the transfer market when he was appointed manager in 2000. He was never a great coach. We’re seeing a significant decline in terms of player recruitment, identification and low quality football coaching. We’re approaching an inflection point. Martin’s only reason for staying is financial.
