PL was quoted in today’s Herald that finances were so healthy that a season without CL football would not be disastrous.
He might like to ask the fans views on a season wiith nothing meaningful to occupy them midweek.
Johansen terrible today. Ledly greqtq. Another disgrace for ctics donsizing project.

Ah agree wi yer thinkin….If the circumstances wur Normal..
Howevayhhh..
Ah Defiitely DO NOT AGREE ,with yer Thinkin..in this. Particular set of Circumstances.
Because..
Matthews, has not fully returned tae his excellent Form.. which he was regularly displaying.. Pre.. His.. Collar bone Injury..because of which..
He was off for many weeks.
He had newly returned ,from that injury.. when he wiz Struck down. by an Illness.
n then. he had some kind of Musculatr Injury.. from which he has just got over.. which caused him tae miss.. a few More games..
n, musta set him Back even Further, regarding his Com-back to the First team.
Na.. Neil.. Musta Known..
Like Me… An Ah said so, pre this Game..
That Matthews, surely musta bin.. too Stiff n Rusty, tae be used in this Important Game.
Sure, Matthews, did not mak any Mistakes..
But,he was pretty anonymous, all the same.. Which did not Help us,at all.
In Ma Opinion. Fisher, has shown pretty good Attacking Ability.. in Most of his games for us.. n his Link Up play with the rest of oor Defenders,had bin mair than satisfactory..
Na..Neil. Jumped the Starter’s Pistol…in this One..by playing a Semi Fit Fellow..instead o a Steady Eddy , Fellow.
In Ma Opinion,of Course
Kojo
But..
He was far from being

you make be laugh, once again I say something you come back talking about something different entirely
p.s. we are not deliberately losing, but we did lose and we can either bitch and moan or we can accept. we cant change the result so I prefer to look at the positives from, if not our perspective then Scottish football’s perspective as a whole.
is it so hard to understand that positives might come out of adversity?
I am a glass half full kinda guy hh

Superior resources do count. Have you looked at the league table recently?
Cup upsets are part of football. The main thing is to win the league. Lenny has done a remarkable job in preventing complacency and putting together a great run of wins in the league.
As I have posted earlier, Cup upsets are happening too often to Celtic who resources probably outweigh the combined resources of other clubs in Scotland.
There is a mental softness attached to Celtic.
As I read this blog I realise history is being made! A new language is being created before my very eyes. What surprises me is that some people already appear to understand it, as they are replying to it.
Depressing isn’t a word for it.
Neganon
Sadly we have fans who will use every Celtic setback to blame the board.
You are one of them.
In fact you go further than most…you believe they actually hold us in contempt, only caring about money and not interested in results.
For an intelligent guy you are becoming a cartoon character, steeped in negativity.
Criticise the board when it is right to do so….not every time something negative happens to Celtic.

Neil took a punt and I know why I would have done the same and possibly he thought like me. Who knows?
It failed but thems the crumbles from the cookie.
Off topic.
I hate Flower of Scotland.
Mental softness ?
Is that what Sammy washes his hair with ?

Yes we did get beat today.
However, I was not being wise after the event.
Earlier in the week I was pointing out the stellar qualities of sides who have knocked us out of cups in recent times.

Mental softness? So how did we put that run of wins and clean sheets together in the league?
Eventually you’re going to get a poor performance. Eventually, after so many games without conceding a goal from a corner, it will happen. Aberdeen got a lucky bounce of the ball in the box and scored. Second goal, Johansen made a mess of a clearance.
Virgil, our best player, missed a sitter.
Too many players had an off day. To listen to some people you would think Lenny tells them to play badly in the cup games.
Tully 57. whwther we believe u am a cartoon character or not. Celtic are disastrously letting eqch and every one of us down.
And for no reason.
Shameful.
You cintubue to pretend uts all ikay byt dobt expect me to accept it.

Are you in the possession of some type of decoder? ;-)
2 cup finals at Celtic Park and we won’t have any say in either. Disappointing but not the end of the world.
Any season were we win the league and qualify for CL is a success in my book.
I’m not too bothered about the league run, it’s all about preparation for CL qualifiers now. The season is ending with something of a whimper.
EL
Agree . I literally cringe when I see people who seem to possess reasonable intelligence singing it with gusto.
Is anti Englishness really what we’re about?
Horrible Plastic Jocks nonsense.
Best supporters in the world my arse.

The recent jolly to Turkey when Celtic should have been fulfilling a Saturday league fixture is an example of the contempt the Board has for the fans.
Another is the refusal with loads of cash swilling about PLresolutely refused to push the boat out in the January transfer window.
79 caps its claer lennon cant inspire them. Remund me. what is gis job?
I don’t mind the occasional posters who turn up on evenings like this, we know who they are and we would do the same if their side had a disastrous day. Our own lads putting the boot in is hard to take. We are all gutted but that is the price of making a huge emotional investment in a Club. If you want all the highs and fun of following Celtic you have to be prepared to suck it up on a day like this.

He certainly doen’t appear to be able to regularly get the best out of them in cup games.

Is it a punt when we’ve done it before and it usually fails?

National anthems. Rugby. It’s the 80 minute nationalist each year. Like the sport at the end they catch themselves on and carry on living.
Let’s not read too much into it.

It’s all if buts and maybes now.
But earlier before the game, when I saw the line up I was confused – a bit sorry for wee Fisher to be honest. You try to visualise the team and I saw Forrest playing the wing and Samaras and Stokes – who’s tendency is to gravitate towards a wing – leaving Commons as our touchstone midfield forward – but worryingly what I saw as four forwards.
Leaving two in mid and the back four – with two defenders who like to bomb up the wings – that’s when I worried and within 20 mins some were confirmed and newer had arisen – Matthews was not (IMHO) mentally or physically fit – Samaras was closer to Izzy at LB and was plodding about (Which might be his style – just not needed today I thought).
Acht – hindsight’s wonderful I suppose.

You Rehearsing for Gendarme part in re-make of Allo Allo?
Or fat fingers?
Samaras is undoubtedly talented.
But his talents are better utilized in a counter attacking system which is why he was so effective in Europe last season.
He is unfortunately a momentum killer in a positive forward moving system.
He is though tried and trusted by a cautious coach.
The omission of Fisher for an unfit Mathews today was a perfect example of a fearful coach.
Cautious coaching styles are not my favorites but some have had great success with it.
Mourinho is a classic example.
Unfortunately we have a coach who lacks the ability to implement playing systems properly.
He also has never been able to create a team out of a talented squad.
We never seem the sum of our parts.
To often we moan about losing the tactical battle.
Neil Lennon is an outstanding man but unfortunately a poor coach.
Winning a one horse race is not an indication of coaching brilliance.
Today’s result was not a blip but a common occurrence in cup games during Neil’s tenure.
Last seasons European run was laudable with backs to the wall performances getting results but Neil’s other European forays have been poor.
Our club is stagnating.
thomthethim
I was going to post something similar re them winning the cup.
The sfa can’t put them forward, cos they know they are not eligible, end of.
I reckon they have a decent chance now, honest mistakes will see to it me thinks.
Then the squeeling will begin, should be fun >}

I’d agree with you if GSTQ was written in the 1960’s. It wasn’t.
This was written in the 1960s, yet Scots sing Flower of Scotland. Eijits.

Just in from game.
Poor performance,no spark as opposed to Robson and Co. who wanted it more,which is worrying.
I would have thought after the NL abuse the team would have wanted to win badly instead we gave them a platform,when in the ascendency,to pour unrelenting abuse towards NL.
Samaras poor,Forrest after resting for the first 60 mins got a few crosses in,but in my view is no better than the less vaunted Hayes.
We were over run in midfield and tactically got out thought which is not a new experience in Cup games.
A poor effort overall,almost as poor as the support for the team by the stay at Home/Pub “fans” who crave the return of the fifteen percenters.
No luck as we wont be seeing them in any manipulated Cup Tie so if there was any upside to today then thats it.

Are you suggesting Lenny is insane? :)
I doubt all factors were exactly the same as before.
Voguepunter. Its fat fingers n moderb tech I am afraid.
Not read back , I take it the usual suspects will already have had their say , if supporting Celtic makes you feel that bad then just leave it to the rest of us who want to support the team .
Affoot tae get drunk .

Just back from the game. Needless to say, dire…
Reading back some of the blog and have a few questions.
Why is it when people make perfectly valid points, they are labelled glory hunters, huns, moaners etc?
Lennon’s records in domestic cups, for a manager of Glasgow Celtic, is abysmal. That must be obvious even to the ‘happiest of clappers…’ Also, there is nothing wrong with an inexperienced manager making mistakes but Neil keeps making the same mistakes again, again and again….
On top of this, the football on the whole, has been turgid, this result has been coming for months…
Celtic as a team, are not in a good place right now and haven’t been for a while. Subsequently the manager must shoulder responsibility. This isn’t just about getting knocked out, not getting a double and throwin the toys out the pram….
Calling and seeing all of this as it is, does not a ‘hun’ make.
