Brendan Rodgers

[el matador]

i dont want to stick the knife into brendan but hes gone to a pisspot league where celtic have no competition. Its a good move for someone looking to rebuild their reputation. I think he will do ok there. Its about his level.

Why is it referred to as Paradise? I've never heard that before.

Funnily enough we were talking about the Celtic park, Parkhead thing on Wednesday. After my Celtic season ticket supporter referred to the Upton Park, Boleyn Ground scenario. Who knows, it's always been Parkhead to me?

Brendan (typically) is the first person I've EVER directly heard refer to it as paradise. It's pretty cringeworthy, same as Theatre of Dreams is.

It's been a few years since I took a season ticket but, yes, it's tough going most of the time.

The 'Paradise' name comes from around the time Celtic moved from their original park to a newer one. Apparently when comparing the old park to the new one it was apparently like moving to paradise.

The stadium is in an area of Glasgow called Parkhead. (It is amongst the poorest parts of the country but a lot of regeneration work took place in the lead up to the Commonwealth games and the area has vastly improved. Stilla ****e hole mind )

You're right though it's cringeworthy as **** to see a manager refer to it as 'paradise' but then that's wee Brendan to a tee

You don't know much about Celtic's history do you?

i had to google it never heard it referred to as that. Is that mainly a scottish thing? never heard it before.

Does anyone actually care what this chancer does?

He's cringeworthy.

I hope Rangers absolutely ruin them.

Cheers spud.

Good luck to him. He did his best with us and came up short. His flannel started to grate a bit by the end and i can't see it going down too well in Glasgow but at least he'll get chance to gain more European experience. I won't miss him though

Thanks for THAT season..... But meh

[Fosterbloke]

I don't get the vitriol for him. Yes it became **** under him, yes he talks a lot of ****e, he's easy to take the piss out of and he's not a patch on Jurgen, but he got us to within two points of the title. Better IMO to remember those good times - those amazing times - that season and wish him well.

On a side note Celtic 'fan' Joey Barton looking like he will sign for Rangers

Him v Scott "Broony" Brown will be tasty!! Barton will probably look like a prime Xabi up there!

[Vermilion]

Managed LFC in the Premiership, go's to Celtic, but......'It's by no means a step down'.

Cheers Brendan.

They were Sparklers.

Christ, his ego will absolutely love that. Paradise indeed for Brendan.
