  1. Joe Filippis Haircut on

    We must remember our team are a work in progress not the finished article.Despite what we win this season there are some big decisions to be made in the closed season if we want entry into the champions league.We need to move on at least 3 first team players for big money in order that we can sign a creative midfielder.and a quality strker.We will all have our opinions on who should move on but that debate is for when the season ends until then lets keep cheering our team on.H.H.

  2. well done killie you held in there and goals win games.

     

    if that tackle on stokes was a killie player then pen for sure.

     

    Gollum should be demoted or removed for the amount of high level mistake he has failed on.

     

    all this talk of celtic doing 10 iar etc can be put to bed now.

     

    every team we play against us will up their game.

     

    look back at all the games when the opposition have 5 in midfield and hit on

     

    the break .that is now 3 major fails for lenny at hampden,ross county,ra gers and killie.today forrest and hooper were poor IMHO.Especially forrest and as a young player after 60mins lenny should have maybe changed it (every 1 in a group of 10 celts could see he was out of form)Then we have gary hooper also off form and playing poor missing a 1on1 and by having 2 strikers on left the midfield short and over ran.

     

    .As for kelvin wilson at C/H .please bring back darren odea as he is far better and that is how poor kelvin wilson has played in vital matches.

     

    lenny and his young team are still learning and still have high hopes that better days lie ahead.Next week the players will have a chance to redeem themselves against TFOD.Feel sorry for any of the young ones at their first cup final when the best team we could put out could not score against an average team like killie.Most of the celts in my company felt like it was like the raith rovers game at ipox was the disappointment of the loss today.When lenny was holding his head and we could not score and the time was running down and had run out of ideas i was screaming forrest an hooper off sammy and ki/commons on for last 20 mins but that might still not have win it.Right away to watch a movie now at least we will still be celts in the morning and hope neil and the bhoys can bounce back at ipox

     

    hail hail

  3. Lets be honest, the league is all that matters.

     

     

    The Celtic family have some great days ahead

  4. Disappointed, but so are many others, none more so than Lenny. Read back quickly to some comments on here and think some folk are far too quick to criticise team selections, substitutions etc. Very, very easy with the benefit of hindsight eh ? If we’d equalised in injury time and went on to win, no-one would be questioning a thing.

     

     

    Offered a double (or even The Championship) at the beginning of the season I’d bite your hand off.

     

     

    Add the fiasco at mordor for my treble.

     

     

    And as for the dewy-eyed congrats to that mob today, count me out.

    Talking with a few of his mates today, all on an obvious low.

     

    Don’t know he lad but by all accounts, he was a gem out enjoying Paddy’s night.

     

    More worried about his family than a defeat.

  6. dissapointed in the bbc commentary team

     

    dissapointed at the result

     

    dissapointed in our managers post match begrudging praise to killie

     

    dissapointed by the poor ref decision at the end

     

    however, ‘killie’ did not park the bus…..they are infact living proof that scottish football can still be exciting and competitive WITHOUT rangers….sometimes its just not your day…we have played worse than that and won many times in the last few months…plenty of chances created although we were never in complete control…..well done killmarnock,i thought pound for pound they just about deserved it .

    Anyone on here trying to conceptualise our defeat as ANYTHING which could be construed as a positive in relation to the Govanites is a fool.

    If we were to have won the Treble this season…

     

     

    Would that have given creedence to the ‘We need the Rangers’ brigade ?

     

     

    Jist a passin’ thought…

  8. Paddy gallagher

     

     

    That is horrific news the poor guys family must be in bits

     

    your right football scores mean nothing when tragedies

     

    like this occur

     

     

    rest in peace my friend

  9. Saint Patrick Gallagher on

    When you watch the performance of Bell when the disappointment has subdued, you will appreciate its genius.

  10. Anyone else get annoyed when the support sings about jelly and ice-cream when the game’s in the balance or the team has a slender lead?

  11. The Battered Bunnet on

    This notion that the League is all that matters is nonsense.

     

     

    Winning is all that matters.

     

     

    Winning.

     

     

    Today we didn’t win.

     

     

    That matters.

  12. anybody watching on TV meantion the tackle on Forrest which was given as a throw in..?

     

     

    I thought it looked a shocker and he was only making up the numbers after that..

     

    (tongue firmly in my cheek there…)

  13. thanks to Smashing MB mwd vhman and Ian at tyneside emerald that allowed six of the family to get to the game. result not good but a day out with our fans was worth it.

     

     

    double nugget any one

    Sandman,

     

    Stop foaming at the mouth FFS and calm down.My nephew is breaking his heart at losing the Cup today and I would gladly have sacrificed a defeat at Ibrox for him to be in his glory tonight.I know what your game is? You think I’m a Hun don’t ye?

  15. Awe_Naw_No_Annoni_Oan_Anaw_Noo on

    TBB

     

     

    Disagree.

     

     

    Turning up and trying your best is all that matters.

    =======================================

     

     

    No. Unprecedented times.

     

     

    Death throes of the vermin, a lifetime’s wish for hundreds of thousands of oppressed Tims gone before us.

     

     

    Celebrate it to the max.

     

     

    If you feel inclined to, that is…

  17. Garry Hooper has the first touch expected a barrowlands bouncer his clumsy

     

    response an awkward customer and his resultant outta the box delivery the wasted result.

    Saint Stivs,

    No, I don’t.

     

     

    Apologies for the typo sentiment in the first sentence – wasn’t aiming it at you, should have been written in general reference as was the rest of my answer to your question, which I still stand vehmently by, by the way ;)

  20. The Battered Bunnet

     

     

    Are you saying we didn’t try our best today?

     

     

    the best team wins the league, id sacrifice every cup win from here till eternity if we won the league every year,

  21. Agent Craig "Green and" Whyte!! on

    As i’ve already said…we lost today rather than Killie winning.

     

    I dont buy any of the hun press but i’ll guarantee the Killie keeper gets motm in everyone of them, for a decent preformance and nothing more.

     

    That maybe tells a story.Better finishing and today we score at least a 3 or 4.We made the keeper look good.

     

    It wasn’t to be.So onto next week.

     

     

    I think the state the huns are in i’d go with Izzy at left back.They will likely go with the self employed diver aluko on the right, so Izzy will take care of him.

     

    My team would be….

  22. Awe_Naw

     

    Again Agree.

     

    If the likes of Matthews and Ledley their hitherto pedigree decide to gift a result.

     

    Then we too should look to the hun avenue of liquidation for salvation.

  23. Sandman

     

    Yer damned right I do. At the moment every day is a joy. Today just a wee blip.

     

    The jelly and ice-cream should be kept until it’s two nil – just for my nerves!

  24. No treble for celtic this year, but as we all know they are very hard to come by,

     

    It’s now up to lenny to get the players to roll their sleeves up and lead celtic

     

    onto a glorious double……..In lenny we trust.

  25. Gutted. Team’s attitude was woeful, with the exception of Charlie, Sammi, and Ki. Possibly Victor.

     

     

    Real wake up call. We are not perhaps as good as we think, and we need to play well to beat stuffy SPL sides.

     

     

    I like Kenny Shiels, but Killie are a pathetic club – a couple of choruses of “Hello Hello” was the sum total of their fans’ contribution to the occasion.

     

     

    Oh and Hampden – possibly the worst national stadium in Europe.

  26. Lads not long in from the game, total nightmare.

     

     

    The day I had I should’ve took the hint, checked on friday night on the net to see where I was sitting and then left ticket in shorts and Missus put shirts in washing machine lol.

     

     

    I went to 2-1 game against scum at Hampden last year and now today, something tells me I’ve not to go there again lol.

     

     

    Remember bhoys we wanted all 3 but the one I want most is the title for Neil Lennon.

     

     

    Heads up bhoys as I said to huns, you have to be in it to win it.

    “And as for the dewy-eyed congrats to that mob today, count me out. ”

     

     

    My congrats are mainly to KS, I think he deserves the plaudits. But also to Killie for their victory today dispels the hun mythology of the SPL dependence of their beloved Pound fc

    What I’m saying is…

     

     

    … pretty much every aspect of our performance today was sub-optimal.

     

     

    You can decide for yourself if that was down to effort or just darned bad luck.

     

     

    Personally, I put it down to approach.

    tomorrow is a day closer to the end for themselves.
