Just in and back on line (my broadband wouldn’t work this morning).
Only one word for today: carelessness. I heard our manager’s post match comments and he was spot on, imo.
starry plough – excellent point about Charlie. With every player match fit, does Charlie actually fit into our strongest starting eleven?
Truth is, he’s the new Jackie Mac, a Celtic fan in the Hoops who can play in a number of positions.
P67 has mentioned a few times that we need Charlie’s deliveries into the box and it’s a very good point, but who should make way for him?
Going back to the starting 11 today, Kayal will not be hapy about the h/t substitution, but he needs to work much harder to remind us of the player we had in his first season at the club.
Miku going straight up the tunnel when he came off spoke volumes. He won’t stay and we won’t miss him!

I think Tuesday game is more important
We’ll kick on in the league after the CL is finished
I´ve been watchin Celtic since the Fifties.
For god´s sakes guys I don´t know what ye´s want!!
Ye cannae win every gemme.
It´s only the end result that matters & CFC survive financlally !!
Hail Hail.

He went straight up the tunnel after taking about a minute to saunter off the pitch ….ghuys around where I was sitting we going mental
Two things still made me happy today.
One, my cousin in the Killie end has supported Killie every game for over 20 years! Well done to him.
The other was my mate would the half time prize – 15k!!!!!!!!!
At least there was one Celtic supporter happy on the road back to Kilmarnock :)
Good evening CHAMPIONS
Not long in from the game and bitterly disappointed. But, what the hell, We are Celtic Supporters faithful through and…………….. .I thought killie played us the way we played barca. Just my opinion. We got what we deserved, zilch. INHO of course.

Just back in from the game today. Really poor lacklustre performance and even although the players must take a lot of the blame glad to hear Lennon taking the responsibility.
5 changes from midweek why?
These are not thirty something’s we are talking about young athletes who are mainly under 25 and can’t play on a Saturday after a game on Tuesday?
Just put out the strongest 11 and be done with it. And why start Ambrose in midfield and move him back into defence after 20 mins. I suppose it just shows that the manager still has some learning to do. No slip ups on Tuesday night!
Just read back a few comments. Thought I’d better add my tuppence worth. I thought Michu got not service whatsoever. I wouldn’t blame him. There wasn’t a midfield worth speaking of: Commons, Mulgrew and Kayal couldn’t muster a forward pass between them. It seems glaringly obvious that we need to keep Wanyama, if our captain is not able to play regularly.
For me, there was no urgency, no drive and no entertainment. Poor poor fare.
Professor Green
The switch around with Ambrose was puzzling and pointless
Doc is Neil Lennon
What really got me today was the lack of urgency, btw in all departments,and to see Miku saunter off the pitch, whilst been replaced, goat ma dander up,and to make matters worse,this was the first game I wore my Brand New CQN Badge,its getten fired inta a drawer tae wae bounce back, maybe a point aff Barca!c,mon PJ yive loast it Big Time.

How come things just go wrong……somrtimes they just do. If it happens to often then we need to to do something about it otherwise. lets enjoy the ride
How come when I cut the ace of hearts
You always draw the ace of spades?
How’s it when your best friend
Brings you lillies on your birthday?
How come, how come
I ain’t superstitious, but these things I seen
How come, how come
I ain’t a superstitious fella, but it worries me
How come when the local clergy calls
He tells me that you shouldn’t wear black?
What kind of bread are you gonna bake
With that hemlock in your spice rack?
How come, how come
I ain’t superstitious, but these things I seen
How come, how come
I ain’t a superstitious fella, but it worries me
The spider’s run, the cobweb’s gone
Did you eat it when the moon was new?
I drowned your cat, what do you say about that?
I’ve even broken up your broom
How come, how come
I ain’t superstitious, but these things I seen
How come, how come
I ain’t a superstitious fella, but it worries me
Neganon2,
You could well have admonished me for my judgement of your reaction to today’s disappointment.
You chose not to.
That makes you the bigger man.
We all see these things differently.
As an old, deceased Celtic friend used to say to me under the pylon at the London Road side of the Celtic End, when I would complain about a performance, ‘ Behave yourself. You have to see the bad ones to appreciate the good ones.’
Thanks, Arthur McArdle, I have never forgotten your advice.
Losing is what makes winning special.
o.g. rafferty
Indeed a comedy of errors for the first goal, which left two minded Forster stranded. It’s a cliche to say a player that has come back from injury didn’t look fit when he plays poorly, but Adam Matthews didn’t look fit.
No scapegoats though we didn’t play as a team, – Kilmarnock did.
The CIS St Johnstone game takes on new significance.
BSR
The St Johnstone game was always more important IMO
Okay Bhoys and Ghirls have a good evening, I’m off to the snowy field to wait for the Great Pumpkin and ask him if we can have our Celtic team back for Tuesday night…
Sayonara..
Papa John, I had all three of my CQN badges on today, and all season so far, I’ll keep wearing them;-)
I think Miku thought he was just getting a round of applause when he was going off, then realised he was getting told to move.
He wasn’t good, but the team was below par, I’ll reserve judgement.
A point off Barca would be, well……
Looking forward to that already.
starry plough,
I said on here about a month ago that I don’t think Charlie Mulgrew can expect to be a first pick. There is only one major reason for picking him and that is his dead ball delivery. Today, Commons was taking all the free kicks, apart from the one from which Charlie brought a good save out of their keeper. He doesn’t have the pace of Wilson or Izzaguirre; Ledley has to be our LM
Mulgrew started the game at the back and was swapped with Efe almost 30mins in. He was a great midfielder in Moscow……
Ive been saying since season start, in my opinion, mathews isnt good enough and his pace gets him out of many situations due to his poor positional sense.
Last point, im not a fan of the rotation system, play the strongest team available and change if tiredness kicks in. I appreciate the rigours of Europe but i guarantee every player would rather play than train.
Pfayr
Especially when the 2 played on Tuesday and both looked comfortable in there positions. Why change.
We seem too keen to change the central defence for no apparent reason. In my view its the one position on the park where you need a solid partnership who know each others strengths and weaknesses. Changing it for the sake of it seemed very odd.
Don’t tell me that jinx cathedral view was there today, that explains a lot

I thought Fraser might come for it too, but I think he saw a red card looming and decided not to take the chance.
What confused me most about today was that there are Celtic supporters who chose to stay until the end just so that they could be seen to express their displeasure through booing.
Wife/partner/mum/nanny: “What was the highlight of your day?”
Disgruntled Tim: “I got to boo a Celtic team aff the park!!!”
Simple message lads, it’s not big, it’s not clever and you’re not welcome.
Lenny the tinker man today.
He made too many changes, in personnel, tactics and formations.
Chas started at CB, Efe in centre mid, Kayal right mid, joe left.
Forrest on left, Miku up top and KC right to mid.
No right side forward.
I think the idea was for the full backs to go forward, with KW, Chas and Efe forming a central back 3.
Kayal never did find out where he was supposed to be, joe was lost as Izzy, then Chas moved into left mid, when Forrest was already there. We couldn’t go right coz we had no one there and Adam lost all confidence after a few early mistakes. Miku never had a chance, he
didn’t get the normal support that Hoops gets.
So all in all a poor performance.Broonie, Vic and Sammi 3 out of our most effective midfield missing today.
We are only good when we all know where we are and where our teammates are.
Today we had no fulcrum, no base to build on.
If Vic doesn’t play, his replacement has to play the Vic role, ditto the other two.
At no time today did we look fluent or comfortable, or like a team. 11 individuals.
Lessons will be learned and Tuesday will be better.
I hate it when we get beaten.

Last Saturday afternoon my wife asked me, “where would you rather be, here or watching Celtic?”
Without missing a beat I replied “watching Celtic”.
We were on a beach in Greece in 30c sunshine at the time.

It astonishes me hiw often we finish a game with a different back 4 to what started

I thought that bit was really funny, he then moved about 100mph to the shower room!
Some good comments on the blog today.
A couple of things…..
Why do people count the left-sided players in a team and not the right-sided players. many teams have 7 or 8 right sided players, you know…..
I worry a wee bit about Charlie. He has made the Cb position his own. Now a combination of Wilson picking his game up, and Efe arriving has caused the manager to try and fit Charlie in elsewhere.
I’d hate to see him shunted around and trying to get a game all over the park.
I wasn’t as surprised by some at the performance, given our midweek exertions……
PF
Neil Lennon and the coaching staff have some work to do between now and Tuesday, our record in the CIS / League Cup leaves room for improvement.
Upper tier closed, low crowd, devalued competition Sevco lying in wait (⊙_⊙)

I think he was a bit embarrassed when he realised he was getting a rocket rather than a clap.
weeron
Good point, it was amazing the amount of times the ball was played into midfield for shot and it was on the players wrong side, the left footers everytime cut back inside and lost the chance
People pay their money and can boo if they want, I support their right to boo if they are unhappy end of.

100per cent agreed. I stay until Every final whistle and would never, repeat, never boo my team.

Keevins was making a big thing about the FIVE changes we made today.
Noticed a few posters also saying we shouldn’t have made five changes.
I suppose Sammi and Broonie should have started, just to keep everybody happy.
It’s called squad rotation, giving some a rest, keeping some on their toes, resting some cos they are carrying niggling injuries, ok, it didny work out today, it did last week, didn’t hear too many bumpin their gums about it then.
Seems if we don’t win evey game, the gloryhunters are out in force.
You either support Celtic through think and thin, win, lose or draw, or not at all.
There is a team the other side of the water who are in the positon they are in, cos they wanted to win everything, see where it got them.
Just my humble opinion mind you.
I was with oldtim before the match… He reckoned we would win as a matter of course
I predicted a cl hangover
Wishing i was wrong now
Feed big Roy. The last time we had a settled central defence was 10 years ago! It’s bizarre
Hamiltontim, for the record I was not one of fans who booed at full time but surely after the 90mins is up, it’s not unreasonable to voice some displeasure at a losing performance?
Big no no during the game but after the game why not?
Kilbowie kelt at 20.14
Spot on, mhan
Everything has to be earned
We don’t do ‘entitlement’
Leave that to the other mob
celt55
I think you’re dead right.
Forster also made a brilliant save at 1-0 not long before the penalty.
