Terrible Scottish league. Should be a First Division with the clubs only playing each other twice. Like to see Aberdeen or Dundee United or a club other than Celtic or Rangers win it. I was going to support Dundee United if my London club had gone bust .... Eamonn Bannon and a great team.

I know. How could Bezos or Musk not get into golf, buy a castle in Scotland and find £1000M behind the sofa to throw at a football club? We need some Scottish honeytrapper to make that happen. It's a weird football culture, to be honest. 90% of the attention is on two clubs. Without some rich benefactor taking a Hearts, Hibs, Aberdeen or similar and just burning money on them then I don't see how any club breaks the monopoly. They'd need to produce an entire team of kids who are already a level above the pros they have.
Not entirely fair. Just inexperienced. He had bad injuries to deal with and because he was inexperienced he had no plan B. He could’ve changed up formations, encouraged different tactics. Although the reaction he had after he was sacked showed his immaturity.
In retrospect it looks like John Barnes was pretty decent, I was quite young at the time and all I remember is the toxicity. Any way without his failure we might have not gotten MON and we might not have been able to dominate scottish football for the last 25 years.

Rangers were at the height of Murraynomics at the time and also had a very good team. Dick Advocaat came in as manager and spent £25M on players like Kanchelskis, Numan and Van Bronkhorst.
Brazil often used that formation. Nothing wrong with it if you've got the players (i.e. a pair of strikers who complement each other and two absolute beasts at full-back).
John Barney’s won manager of the a month and on the next month lost his job overall he did well for a young manager Nice man who was a world class player
Yet another great video. Morten Wieghorst was a legend in his own right, who's sadly been forgotten about by most football fans. Not only did he fight his way back from getting Guillain-Barré syndrome and came back stronger than ever, he' s also received the Olympic Commitee Fair Play award. I can't help wonder though, if he wouldn't have ended up playing for one of the better mid-level teams in the English Premier League, if he hadn't become sick just when he was reaching his prime, because his playing style was perfect for the English game at the time.
I can not believe how good and thorough your videos are. I hope you don’t get discouraged and keep making videos. This stuff is amazing when im bored at work
This season was my introduction to following Celtic from afar after family who were already long time Celtic supporters started inviting me over to see games after Petta signed from Ipswich Town, who we had(have) season tickets with. Petta was one of my favourite Ipswich players as a boy and following his progress at paradise led to me becoming a supporter too. Great video mate, interesting to relive it as an adult.
this is a great video mate. well done, have never seen this season analysed in such detail. it was definitely a season with a big question mark around it
This was a really well put together video. It seems like Barnes' tactics were very much feast or famine - where they would either smash 5 past the opposition or end up losing narrowly. Sadly that isn't consistent enough for them to be winning trophies.
Call me ignorant of Scottish football , but I did laugh at the " next up was a tough test against the stalwart defence of ..... KILMARNOCK...."..😂..and I admit it is quite funny watching the John Barnes interviews in a row getting more n more stressed bless him man.
First time watching one of your posts. How refreshing. Direct information, quick & concise. The pace of your commentary is spot on. Question. Was it Barnes or the players???
Thanks! Mixture of both I reckon. Mark viduka had an amazing season but was big trouble behind the scenes, as was Berkovich. Barnes himself was just too inexperienced to handle it all.
Stephane Bonnes, or Steven Bones if you prefer, was seeing a rather attractive young lady who lived round the corner from me when I was growing up. We chapped the door regularly to ask if Stephane would like to come out and play. He was playing for Partick Thistle at this time. I remember him asking me for money when I informed him that I sold him for several hundred thousand pounds in CM01/02. Another time he sadly informed us that he was going back to France.
I don't blame Barnes, I blame Kenny Dalglish, the board, players with attitudes like Mark Viduka who refused to play a 2nd half cup tie while losing to a newly formed Inverness Caley Thistle.
Great player ,even when he lost his pace he hardly ever gave the ball away and was great in a deeper position , as a coach hmmmmm, but I agree Dalglish got off lightly ,he let Barnes take the heat .
As someone who’s from south of the border I’d love more videos like these on Scottish football. Unlike most of the people down here I don’t shit all over Scottish football.
U should do this for every year onwards a loved looking back with u..do rangers too..might b alot of work but its work thatl get liked✔️👌🤞..plus a enjoyed the local lingo😂❤
Im not a celtic fan but found this an intriguing watch. I remember the time - tbh it sounds like their were problems in the background with the players that didn't get a long. That story would have played out in the media when a result went against them - when that happens and especially in Glasgow its curtains. Some of his results were actually quite good.
if you haven't already, it may be interesting to explore the purchases of other SPL stars celtic made in the 2010s like cifti and johnny hayes, who rarely lived up to expectations.
Big LFC fan Barnes was my idol, although it looks with hindset that he want manager material it didnt seem to be going that badly, the larsson injury was a killer. Probably shouldve been kenny with barnes as assistant to learn the ropes a bit more
For sure, the team even played some very nice football with it sometimes, just think that Barnes never had a plan B for when it wasn't working and was too stubborn.
Very good show mate, really well put together. So much footage. Proper content, ha. Can't believe he was only 35 when he came, should we could have pulled on his boots for us. The anti-celtic media in scotland tore him apart but that what those animals are paid to do. What was Dagliesh thinking?? What a terrible gamble, made everyone looks stupid. Did Viduka really not play the 2nd half v ICT?
Man, this brings back so many memories! I think what one of the journos said about Barnes being ahead of his time in regard to formation and system is possibly true. This was a time the general perception of football in the British Isles were firmly rooted in, quoting a famous manager, "four four fucking two". Anything else was deemed sacrilege. Even Glenn Hoddle received a lot of flak for playing 3 at the back during his England days. Some would argue that system style managers have never truly been accepted as such, remember the vitriol Sarri received at Chelsea? He was just as stubborn as Barnes was. It is odd that Barnes never went on to another managerial role. He certainly had the talent.
Although Barnes was obviously out of his depth, a lot of the players need to look at themselves too. I always found Berkovic to be an irritating wee fanny with a god-awful attitude, and Ian Wright's attitude wisnae much better - "wouldn't it be fun to have a bit of a laff and a joke in old jockoland to finish my career? Play at 50%, have a laff, and show the jocks how it's done. Nice easy little earner before I put my feet up". The other story about Wright is that on the pitch he was constantly telling opposition defenders how much money he had and how they should be lucky to be on the same pitch as him. Wee prick who's time at Celtic was mercifully short.
Some team on paper, this was when the gap in finances across the European leagues wasn't as huge as it is today ,some really good players in the spl then ,not everyone went bankrupt acquiring them though 👍
What a team Celtic had then. Tbh, my recollection of Barnes was that they were incredible under him, and it was clicking. Which this video kind of shows… But it seems the rumblings behind the scenes were his undoing. Especially Berkovic. You also can’t change that much in a winning team. Souness did it at Liverpool too, and it similarly didn’t work. You feel Barnes should’ve been given another go somewhere though - when they got it right - it was sensational
".......we lost in the right way, apart from the 2 bad goals we gave away, particularly the 2nd one with the basic error......" Dear oh dear. That quote says all you need to know about John's managerial prowess 😂
Still chuckling at the comment about the French kid who impressed in trials. A professional expletive free presentation and then just out of the blue and after a slight pause calling him shite.
Am I the only one who watched this and thought “it actually wasn’t that bad?” I was only 10 at the time, I remember it being a shambles, but after watching this I think everyone was overreacting badly. Being only a few points behind a decent Rangers team, and winning 5-0 every few weeks, does not strike me a catastrophe.
Viduka and berkovic were toxic and then when larssons leg broke the season was over . Then barnes not fully understanding how big a club and how big a demand celtic were .
When Larsson broke his leg, it was all over for Barnes. People seem to forget we were beating teams by 4 or 5 before Larsson broke his leg.
but then that means the manager is not good
It still makes me throw up when I see that leg break even to this day 🤢🤮
Well yes, Celtic's season nosedived from that moment on, it's easy to forget that they did actually win a trophy that season in the CIS Cup
Don’t forget Lambert’s broken jaw in the Old Firm. You have to say Barnes had nae luck in some ways.
Can I just say. Your graphics are getting better and better. Very much the scottish hitc alfie. Great stuff
Only interesting
High praise, I agree!
But without the annoying wet voice. Which is a massive plus.
Alfie does have one hell of a sarcastic 🙃 voice. This guy is much smoother.
It's almost like he is improving with the more experience he gets
Imagine that
Just realised that next season it will be 40 years since a team other than celtic/rangers won the Scottish premier league. That is truly depressing.

John Barnes time at Celtic was to put it bluntly… Scheidt
Not entirely fair. Just inexperienced. He had bad injuries to deal with and because he was inexperienced he had no plan B. He could’ve changed up formations, encouraged different tactics.
Although the reaction he had after he was sacked showed his immaturity.
Dr Jo brought in Lubo. BBC Scotland laughed. Lubo put a stop to that.
After signing Raphael Scheidt and Olivier Tebilly the rumour was we were going Davie Weir and going 3 at the back
Weir Tebilly Scheidt

JB had done really well for a time and it just went wrong in middle of the season. His time as manager was not as bad as everyone say.
Forgot how fast Barnes spoke😂😂
Although Barnes was obviously out of his depth, a lot of the players need to look at themselves too. I always found Berkovic to be an irritating wee fanny with a god-awful attitude, and Ian Wright's attitude wisnae much better - "wouldn't it be fun to have a bit of a laff and a joke in old jockoland to finish my career? Play at 50%, have a laff, and show the jocks how it's done. Nice easy little earner before I put my feet up".

Celtic should never have signed clapped out players living on past memories looking for a last payday.
His ego was a real problem. And he never learned anything from it. Failed as a manager. He still thinks he was just unlucky.
Exactly… always moaning… he was absolutely unbearable to listen at talksport
Seen viduka at Cardiff vs Leeds live . Incredible player
Terrible times. A scattering of great players though. Stan used to come round my drive thru for his breakfast, he couldn't speak English then.
Some team on paper, this was when the gap in finances across the European leagues wasn't as huge as it is today ,some really good players in the spl then ,not everyone went bankrupt acquiring them though 👍
Such good content
Tebily gave me the fear, but I liked the big guy.
I’ll give the other mob from the south sides fans some credit . Their banner “ at least Barnes could rap” aimed at Mowbray was quite funny
If absolutely nothing else, his teams always beat the crap out of Aberdeen.
What a team Celtic had then. Tbh, my recollection of Barnes was that they were incredible under him, and it was clicking. Which this video kind of shows… But it seems the rumblings behind the scenes were his undoing. Especially Berkovic. You also can’t change that much in a winning team. Souness did it at Liverpool too, and it similarly didn’t work.
