Celtic v Hearts, Celtic Park, Saturday 16th December, 3pm kick off

[Andy H]

In defence of MJ the quality of pass he was getting from AJ was terrible. That meant he was having to stretch to get the ball under control as the first touch, giving the hearts fullback time to close him down.

 

[Brimcbhoy]

Absolutely totally correct.
Kyogo was virtually ignored today.
Wtf do they do on the training ground every feckin day.
HH

Run roon an roon cones that don't tackle back.

On the game, Mikey Johnston's first half performance was as bad as I've ever seen from a Celtic player in 55 years of going to Celtic Park. So bad I almost felt sorry for him.
Obviously not good enough, obviously has zero confidence so why in season 23/24 is this perennial underachiever still a starter? That is where we have come in 6 months

What is really worrying to me, Gary, is that obviously he has his admirers on our coaching staff to start a match in the first place. And then, that BR allowed him even half a match on that awful performance, considering we were 2 -0 down and with time running down. We could not afford the luxury of essentially playing with ten men. It was a classic case of management by sentimentality or hope. Neither of which were acceptable under the circumstances.

You know even Ralston looked an improvement. I don’t know where last seasons AJ went but this one is shit

Sorry not having that, he was one on one on Cochran a few times and couldn't get the ball past him. Jota would have had him for breakfast.

1 pint gone, still hurted, I'll try another.

It'll still hurt after the first gallon, Brim. So keep going.

My son said at the game that in our game at Tynecastle earlier in the season Cochrane had cramp after 20 minutes and needed treatment after chasing Maeda. Today he had the easiest 45 minutes of his career.

Raldo made a few perfect crosses to Palma who squandered them. I thought TR played well.

 

[POD]

Sorry to say but the combination of a manager who refuses to budge from an outdated system that everybody sussed out how to counter years ago, an absentee and unaccountable majority shareholder who thinks he can treat our club like his own personal plaything that he can pick up then toss aside whenever it suits him and the insidious overbearing influence of Del and Rodney Lawell (without any of the charm of course) is why we are where we are.

Egos egos everywhere and all the while the team and fans suffer! We need fresh blood and a new strategy in the boardroom, in the dugout and most importantly in the starting 11 otherwise it's rinse and repeat!

Perfect summation, S2.

 

[Steviebhoy67]

Think we need to cam down.
There's a reason they're 2nd just now.
Yes they seem to improving. We're indifferent I'd say. We will get there. Brenda's tactics/substitutions are suspect. We'll find a way.

 

[Gary67]

Another gripe. You're 0-2 down and chasing the game. On what planet is bringing on Tony Ralston and Allessandro Bernabei, two full backs going to turn things around? Particularly Bernabei, cant work out how that boy is a professional footballer.

That's what we said under Lennon 3 seasons ago, how did that turn out. And they have a decent manager now which they didn't back then.

 

[Brimcbhoy]

Allessandro Bernabei

Well done for typing his full name. I'd have given up after allice.

 

[Shadow2]

Perfect summation, S2.

Wish for all the world it wasn't the case mate but unfortunately just sorting one of these problems without sorting the others will just see history repeating itself again and again. We finally seen a little progress under Ange but instead of kicking on we reverted to type and the same tired old strategy.

 

[Gary67]

Given the chants of Sack The Board and Lawwell Get To Fuck, and the big bad bogeymen weren't in the stadium today, will Big Peter ban us all for next week's game v Livvy?
He'd probably be doing us a favour

 

[dungloe67]

All the problems started when Peter Lawwell came back and started interfering with everything. Get him out the door along with the rest of the board.
Bragging about £70m in the bank but £20m of shite on the park.

Fukin USELESS at set pieces again!!

GET MIKEY JOHNSTON TAE FUK!!

Bang on m8

Aye cos they've played 2 games less...they win them (sure the refs will lend a helping hand on that front) and we're the ones sitting 2nd. We've turned a 10 point lead into 1 point deficit in a season where they bought a lot of duds and sacked a manager Steviebhoy....the fans have a right to be somewhat pissed off me thinks.

 

[Brimcbhoy]

Probably get pelters for this, but does anyone think we done enough to get something out of that game today? Apart from having lots of possession?
How many wake up calls do we need? Rodgers football is fukking boring when we win never mind lose.
