    Indeed, Sammy is playing below par [again] and Commons had another off day. It also appears we prefer the slow attacking build up of Barcelona, rather than teams attacking us with pace, as last week showed as well.

    We've played ****e ALL season in the league. But the fact that it's not surprising doesn't make it at all acceptable.

    Who the **** wants to spend their money watching that ****e and how many kicks up the arse do these players need?

    Any of you worried about all the dropped points recently? Obviously you want your team to win every game but this season there seems to be the feeling that it doesn't matter as much when you don't win.

    Speaking for myself with Rangers, during all those away games when we were drawing, aye it was embarrassing but at no point did I think there might be a chance we wouldn't win the league. I imagine it'll be the same for most Celtic fans.

    Yeah, no panic but it is frustrating. More the performance than the result. Especially when we now know a little bit more about what these players are capable of.

    Not worried about winning the league. After all, win the game in hand and we're top. And at some point, we'll go on a run of 5,6,7 wins and pull away.

    But the performances have been ****e. And a contributing factor has to be attitude. A sign of undue arrogance on the part of the players imo.

    Pretty much spot on. Though the way we are going the league might actually become competitive to the point where our players actually start trying again.

    The home season ticket holders are not getting value for their money , champion league games have been fine ,league cup games great 9 goals but we've had to pay more money to see them .The team has no width , Ledley , Brown and Sammy all want to slow the game down and go backwards . Commons from a 9/10 against them in cup was a 2/10 today , Miss Hooper big time .

    Forrest, Izzy and the other injuries have narrowed our game. Good to see McGeough get out there. He was looking good until the injury.

    Analyse it all you want, but it comes down to one thing.


    The Black Socks.


    They have to be gotten rid of now.


    If Lennon cant see that then he has to go as well.

    Guy sitting behind me claimed Commons only played a pass right to a st johnstone player as they were wearing hooped socks... Serious as well!

    Game was ****in terrible today. Neither team strung more than 4 passes together. Really surprised at our line up, felt we would need fresher legs, particularly in midfield. And it showed.

    Who was worse today Celtic or brines ??? Now this is not me being bias , the decision to allow Watts to run up the line while awaiting to come back on was unbelievable , no wonder their manager lost it ,the tackle by Ambrose looked a foul , but they got a corner , how many fouls dis he let st Johnstone committ go unpunished ???

    He was ****ing terrible.

    I was serious earlier, Scott Brown was reffing the game for him for a little while. He literally had to ask for a free kick at one stage.

    To be fair to Brines there, he had actually waved Watt on about 5 seconds before that. He just hadn't moved anywhere once he stepped back on. But other than that, he was ****ing murder. As usual.

    Today was a wee downer but what we experienced midweek is unforgetable , win , lose or draw we're still the greatest team in the world .

    Yesterday, just wasn't good enough and as Harry says very unfair on season ticket holders especially those coming from Ireland as an example.
    In the bad days I could attend nearly all the the home games and never see Celtic lose. I think we have been exceptionally unlucky with injuries this season.
    Missing Forrest Izzy Hooper and Stokes Lissad and Miku is nearly all the attacking options. Sammy I think is been played to try and get him fit for the next
    European game. Once we get the next couple of European games out of the way, hopefully we will get a run in Europe.
