St Mirren v Celtic, Sunday 18th September 12 noon

[Bridie Bhoy]

A poor performance all round. Yes, we made too many changes but these players should still be good enough to beat St Mirren.

The Buddies had a game plan which was very effective and bullied our players, snatching a couple of goals against the run of play.

Both sides got what they deserved today. It is shite to lose 3 points like this but life goes on.

Entirely

Sums it up perfectly and that's all I have to say on the matter.

And get that strip tae Fuk!!

 

[POD]

For me, this is a case of the chickens coming home to roost. And have been for a long time. In January, we need to go out and sign a no nonsense, reliable, physical central defender, for these type of matches, as backup. Today proved it. It's not as if there is a shortage of them. Particularly in the Championship. St. Mirren deserved their win today. They got two shots on target and scored both.

One of those days
Poor from start to finish
We go again

 

[Lubos left peg]

It happens. Yes, we should be beating every team in scotland. We have the best players, the best management, the most money and the best training facilities but sometimes that all means fuck all if the team have an off day. Today is just one of those days. Not the end of the world. Ange now knows what formations with what players he can't trust...his failing as a manager today is not knowing before he picked the teams but sometimes you don't find out until you're in a competitive match. I'm sure it won't happen again. Still top of the league. Still the champions. Hail Hail

 

[Cairnsybhoy79]

I do.

Tough crowd

 

[Lmcbhoy]

Very very poor but surely lessons learned.
I hope!

Should always start your best 11. Chopping and changing not good? Poor allover the pitch can't blame the strips for it. Blame the team , we have to get better quality on the ball to see us through when teams park the bus.

 

[Vigobhoy]

Ange learns lessons from matches. Lessons learnt today. Don't make so many changes in midfield.

Hope so Gary. He was mainly at fault for that result. High press and a low block. Looked easy

 

[Andy H]

bawz - never saw it coming - just before an international break as well makes it even worse. Now its two weeks of arguing about stuff

 

[Jinky1962]

It took a year for us to lose in the league ange and his players have been fantastic for us I'm not going to stick the boot in.we have a 2 week break I'm sure in that time the manager will regroup the bhoys and get ready to go again.

Exactly they done wit teams need to do against us and we also dropped our performance levels it happens I don't want it to be easy every game that's not a good thing for teams mindset for me today's a boot the arse just to remind them what's needed as for others moaning about Ange using the squad that's wit has a does we know that didn't hear anybody moan the other week wen he changed 9 bodies HH

 

[The Shamrock]

We aren't entitled to win every game but we should have enough to beat St Mirren.

The midfield didn't feed the forwards and were happy to play the game at St Mirren's pace not realising that Angeball calls for speed, intensity and crisp passing. None of which we witnessed today.
I'm interested to hear what Ange has to say about the team's flatness.

 

[DILLIGAF]

Ange got the starting line up wrong, O'Riley and Jota should have started the game
Mooy and Turnbull, pedestrian
We missed CCv and his physical presence, but got to give the Buddies full marks for playing to their strengths, we did not
4 am kickoff, and they play like that, thanks Bhoys
Absolute gash
Oh well, we deal and move on
Can only hope St Mirren play like that, against the rest of the league
And it's goodnight from me

6 changes to many and we were off our game but the one positive is we are still top of league and if you are going to have a bad game do while you are yes the ref helped them the fouls off the ball ignored the trips ect but we should have been good enough to beat them be prepared for the Media frenzy tomorrow but hope this was a one off

 

[Espiritosanto]

The wee guy main bullied jenz and welsh all day,,,Carter vickers wouldn’t have allowed that,,,,turnbull,mooy,midfield horrific!!no sayin there not good players but there no starters,,,,

We arent huns so I won't go as far as blaming the strips, that would be a terrible excuse. We were beat bacause we were poor. Bur even if we had won today I'd still say it was a bad choice. Same colour shorts and practically same colour tops as your opponents is mental!! Especially when your whole game is based around quick movement of the ball. Some of our players don't even look up. They play the ball into space they know their team mates will be. It would be very easy, like Jota did, to see a flash of colour and think it's your team mate. That being said, our passing was so poor and slow, with very little creativity that I don't think the strip clash came into play.
