@yogijunior3 @ACSOMPOD Whoever it was if he thinks that's a scout report tell him not to give up the day job😅

I have permission to use this. Posted in the @ACSOMPOD group chat by a member who doesn’t use social media. It’s a pretty comprehensive look at our apparent new boy. Make of it what you will🤷‍♂️ Have seen every minute of every game that Cvancara has played for Gladbach (half of them in person). Here’s my scouting report for what it’s worth: He’s been a complete disaster at Gladbach. Signed for 9-10M Euro from Sparta Prague (it’s never been clear exactly how much but that is a big fee by Gladbach’s standards). Scored a screamer on his debut and also a last min pen in same game to secure 4-4 draw at Augsburg but only a handful of goals since then although one was a last minute header to win a game v Union Berlin. There was a dressing room revolt against him in April this year as top players went to the coach to say he was disruptive. Shipped out to Antalyaspor in August but they stopped paying his wages so he’s back in Gladbach but will not play for the first team again this season. Good-ish in the air and might be OK in Scotland but have seen him in numerous one on ones with keepers and he’s never scored. Czech international at one time but not any more. Looks like a giraffe and very fast - has a real burst of pace. Likes the ball to his feet to run on to. Not a target man to hold the ball up. I wouldn’t touch him but he MIGHT do something in Scotland. Gladbach want rid and would be happy with say £1M and him off the wage bill. Roland Virkus, Borussia’s former DoF, never quite recovered from signing Cvancara. Gladbach fans will be delighted to see the back of him but tha doesn’t mean he couldn’t be a success in Glasgow.

@CraigCelt @AidanCregan Romanticising is a strange take. It was a very valid point to make that while the squad is average and needs serious work it was still capable of a lot better than the results Nancyball was serving up with his kamikaze tactics.

@AidanCregan I mean, you’re telling me there was not one person romanticising it while Nancy was in charge? You’re confident of that.

People romanticised O’Neill’s first stint as interim because he won games, but a lot of the football was grim. Tonight is the reminder: Three points is all that matters, but this squad is going nowhere without MAJOR signings. No matter who’s in charge.

@Robbie_Bhoy1888 @GrainneMcw5503 Not sure mate think it was Tisdales recommendation but baby Desmond not far off delegating some duties and the change in tone in some of the clubs recent statements and the aggressive nature of baby Desmond at the AGM is all too much of a coincidence

@GrainneMcw5503 I am convinced this whole Nancy idea was a Ross Desmond project with daddy Desmond giving him a shot at playing football club owner this season

@yogijunior3 @ACSOMPOD Imagine what we could do with a proper setup and a bigger budget.

@yogijunior3 @ACSOMPOD Hearts put on a boy as sub in a recent match & the commentator goes this boy was playing in the Italian fourth tier last season. Within a minute you could tell he had brilliant feet, close control & a minute later had a chance to cross from deep and put a cracking ball in the box

Saw info this morning confirming what I’ve been saying on @ACSOMPOD for weeks, about the supposedly unique data analysis tool created by Tisdale, confirming it was a sham. It’s genuinely mind boggling that we fell for this con when our opposition are using Jamestown Analytics. Our decision was to use an Excel spreadsheet put together by a twat in a hat with a seriously patchy record in the deep recesses of English club football. I know it’s easy to gloss over, but when you contemplate what that actually says about our recruitment process for management & players, it’s just staggering.

Class this. Would love to see more of the larger CSC banners on display at CP again. Better than any pyro display seeing all the banners unfurling in random areas of the stadium.

Stop working with the police to attack and ban Celtic fans then you horrible bastards

Now for the shopping list...

Do it and do it now. @CelticFC 🍀

A shambles from start to finish. Next appointment is massive.

It looks like HMRC have done us another favour and taken him off our hands🧐

@coachtonymee Loads of folk love the game & are desperate to be involved & 'monetise' it as if you want to do it full time it needs to pay bills. But on the other hand it can't be a free for all & a line needs to be drawn somewhere. I think the quality coaches & genuine people are easy to spot

1/7 With the dawn of a New Year I’ve decided to step back from the football coaching community for a while. I’ll still be doing some coaching but I’ll not be engaging so much on here as I’m falling out of love with the whole mess of the game.

@JohnMcC28171320 Pumped 0-3 but sees good things. Absolute car crash

Don't think Nancy has any idea what he's walking into on Saturday.

@lionsroar67 A safe pair of hands who dramatically increases our chance of winning the league, reasonable ambition. Sorry to break it to you but we ain't winning the CL this season.

If this is the sum of fans ambition whats the point? If Nancy goes, just go get the next permanent boss Fed up of all this O'Neill till the end of the season bollocks

Martin O’Neill needs to be in the dugout on Saturday never mind the Sky Sports studio.

MON won 6/7 Nancy has lost 5/7 How, in the fuck, can anybody on here even contemplate, for a second, that the players are to blame?!?!?!?

@CelticFC Nancy gtf

Match report ⤵️ #MOTCEL | #CelticFC🍀

@lionsroar67 It is a useful but overused metric particularly for straw clutching new age philosophy managers who win a far lower % of matches than their teams ability suggests they should

Under O'Neil 5 league games XG for - 11.31 XG against - 4.27 Under Nancy 4 league games XG for - 13.56 XG against - 3.78 Just interesting stat before folk shout about how O'Neil won his games

Incredible. Gone from a structured unit favourites for title to looking more likely to come third, lost a cup final and players not able to face their family and friends. Enough.

@SPFLWatch In a subsequent post he said he was mocking MLS with this post.

The Americans are some bunch eh?
