  1. We create very few chances. Thats why we don’t put teams to bed. Keeper in Milan had no saves to make. We were hanging on against St Johnstone and tonight our long ball up to Vigil looked like the only way we’d score. Having said that we should’ve scored when Lustig missed an easy tap in near the end!

     

    I wish we’d played the youngsters.

     

    Positives are more game time for Pukki, Biton and Boerichter and we don’t need to go to Hampden until April/May.

  2. Philbhoy - Bring it on!!!! on

    I think the truth is that we are not as good as we think, or are led to believe, we are.

     

     

    We should be beating the Morton’s of this world.

     

     

    Still, it wisny Neil’s fault.

  3. Scunnered.

     

     

    But, on the bright side, perhaps this will stir the team for Barca.

     

     

    Oh, and it further craps on the Armageddon peeesh.

  4. 2 hours and not able to score a goal against the 2nd worst team in the first division or whatever it’s called now.

     

     

    Far too many players not professional enough, only lift their game when it suits them, Commons a classic example, his attitude on Saturday was terrible, too fat, too lazy and wasting his talent.

     

     

    No doubt the usual guff will be rolled out, I warned the players before the game, we prepared properly, give players that are hungry a chance!!!!!

  5. Joe Filippis Haircut on

    Stringer Bell. Why with the money we pay for players and the money we pay those players cant we beat them all.?This a home game against Greenock Morton who in there own league are struggling our reserve side should be able to beat them at Parkhead. H.H.

    “Last week: domination at the San Siro but no goals.

     

    Weekend: domination and cruising at 2-0 but ultimately hanging on.

     

    Tonight: domination but unable to score at home against a team from a lower division in 120 minutes.

     

     

    It’s not hard to see where the problem lies.”

  7. Well…..Tonight’s Abject Performance….

     

     

    Only Vindicates Every Post That Sydney Tim Has Ever Made ….

     

     

    On This Hallowed Blog…

     

     

    We Should All Pay More Attention….

     

     

    To The ‘Oracle Of Oz’…….

    Viva Chris Torey !

  8. Playing a centre half as a striker in extra time ,what does that tell us.strikers cost money,so no why will PL sanction one.Morton FFS.

  9. Biton

     

    Rogic

     

    Boerigter

     

     

    All seem like total numpties to me.

     

     

    Only Van Dijk and possibly Pukki have been successful signings.

     

     

    Deeply disappointed and was looking forward to that all day.

  10. cliftonville celt from belfast praying for Oscar the wee legend on

    Just in WTF !!!!!

     

     

    So much for our squad depth !!!!!! It’s all about attitude

     

     

    Just watched cliftonville kids team beat glentoran 3-0 away in cup quarter final – difference they are all busting their arses to get into the 1st team !!!!!!

     

     

    Too many players just floating along with us maybe this is the kick up the arse the squad as a whole needs !!!!!

     

     

    Very disappointed very very disappointed

  11. Disgraceful.I said on an earlier blog that the money we spent on Balde and Pukki could have gone towards a REAL striker.The amount of balls that were floating about the Morton box,did anyone see Pukki anywhere near them.Balde on the bench.You go for the cheap option,this is what you get.28 corners,nothing.

     

    This performance has been coming.Pass,pass,pass,until we pass ourselves out.Meanwhile teams like this regroup.Scunnered.Dont care who disagrees,Pukki is not a natural striker.

  12. Borderlandbhoy

     

     

    I agree Lenny should take a hike

     

     

    I am sick of these abject failures when clearly the players don’t give a monkeys

     

     

    It’s a pub team we got beat off ( never a penalty tho brother madden will be be happy )

     

     

    I read today he was in court again which he could have done in June, an unnecessary distraction. Someone must take the blame for this shambles and the common denominator in all these failures is our wonderful manager.

  13. 27 CORNERS!

     

     

    25 SHOTS AT GOAL!

     

     

    AND ONLY 10 SHOTS ON TARGET!

     

     

    their goalie is’ni that guid oor strikers are just gash!

  14. Worrying that a lack of faith being shown in the players football ability and the long ball tactics deployed. Another St Patricks weekend disappointment..

  15. 27 corners, 25 shots (10 on target), 67% possession and we didn’t score.

     

    When you don’t have a natural goalscorer, a penalty box striker, you are always liable to a night like tonight.

  16. Darryl Murphy, Pavel Brozek, Amido Balde, Mo Bangura….

     

     

    Wouldn’t get on my 5 a side team.

     

     

    Apparently, we can’t afford a Champions League striker. We can, however, combine several strikers’ (sic) wages and transfer fees and waste the same amount

  17. Lenny under pressure. Striker position is his weakness as well as under estimating lower league cup teams.

     

     

    His substutions are baffling.

     

     

    Trebles thrown away two years in a row is not good enough.

  18. About 8 mins to go in the 90, Morton were 100/1 I swithered about sticking a couple of euros on them, just a gut feeling, thank feck I didn’t, I would have lost the couple of euros >}

  19. paolosboots Good Luck Wee Oscar on

    Not a good result all credit to Morton was talking to their 2 Slovakia players on Sunday and they were up for it. Makes you wonder why we didn’t buy alfie doesn’t it?

     

     

    Been busy working on our “new fans winter pack ” due out soon means you won’t be frozen sitting on cold plastic seats at parkhead or anywhere else for that matter. Your comfort is my priority bhoys!!!

     

     

    Looking fwd to bmcuw hootanay plenty of disecting to be done then.

  20. What a shower!…and I’m not referring to the team but some of the posters on here…sorry we lost, well done Morton…good for the game, now anyone can win it…

  21. Why are folk going on about no going to Hampden, it’s already closed till the commonwealth games.!!!!!!

  22. Celtic had 27 Corners!! 27! Thats a corner every four and a half mins

     

     

    Craig Brown would claim that as a victory

    But, on the bright side, perhaps this will stir the team for Barca.

     

     

    If any of our players need a defeat by a lower league team to get stirred to play Barca they shouldn’t be playing football

  24. If there was no possibility of Morton winning what would be the point? Football players tend not to be supporters, they don’t get why it’s important to win every game, players do need a massive boot up the ‘Harris but we should be big enough to acknowledge that we have no right to win all before us just for turning up. Tonight’s result also wees in the soup of the Armagedonnists’.

    Poor result,but that’s the magic of cup competition.

     

    Well done to Morton.

  25. Back to black for Celtic

     

     

    23rd September 2013

     

     

     

    and no cutting edge

     

     

     

    league cup no a good competition

     

     

    should be a pre-season tourney

     

     

    but what about our devlopment squad

     

     

    youth players

     

     

    we will beat killie in the league nae bother

     

     

    but barca will hump us silly on this form and just seen them demolish

     

     

    a champions league team Real Sociedad 4-1

     

     

    canny really celebrate a bank balance

  26. blantyretim is praying for the Knox family on

    Mini bt has now witnessed her first cup exit at Celtic park.

     

    To say she is angry is an understatement

  27. ....PFayr supports WeeOscar on

    Doc

     

     

     

    Utter bollox

     

     

    That rubbish cannot be excused

     

     

    We have no realistic domestic competition

     

     

    To suggest we value the SC more is nonsense

     

     

    Poor excuse for a team which consistently fails in domestic cup competition

  28. 'crushed nuts?' 'Naw, Layringitis!' on

    Little aside on Sportsound:

     

    From RM:

     

    Chick Young: No half of the Old Firm will be winning this trophy again.

     

    Richard Gordon: Is there still an Old Firm, Chick?

     

    Chick Young: I think there is.

     

     

    Translation of Richard Gordon: Is there still a Rangers, Chick?

     

     

    They don’t let up, do they?

     

    ££££££££££££

     

    It’s all about Celtic.

  29. In the old days cup games drew the biggest crowds. It seemed that the support realised their value and the fact that if we lost we were out. Often they made the difference. Like away at Love St vs St Mirren when we won 3-2 in extra time playing with 10 men. Now it seems to be turn up for the Final but up until then the expectation is that the Club will cruise through.

     

     

    Of ten or so Celtic folk I asked today only 2 could be bothered to go and support their team tonight. It’s these guys who have a real right to be annoyed tonight.

     

     

    I accept some folk have valid reasons for not attending. But whinging glory hunters who cant be bothered to go along are a tad hypocritical

  30. An b4 the the usual suspects blame the board for not spending, it was fucking Morton. That team more than enough to win tonite, down to the players. Both hooper an vic didn’t want to play for Celtic so both irrelevant.

  31. Snake Plissken

     

     

    the language you use to describe our manager and players is frequently out of order.

     

     

    only one numptie on here when you talk about Celtic layers in those terms!

  32. See some rubbish being said about Charlies corners.Every one right into the danger area.Every one.What does he have to do.Take it then run in and meet the cross.The heading tonight was dire,and they got plenty in.Of course blame everybody but the guys paid to score.
