  1. Shocking performance by us today.Wrong selection by the manager,piss poor performance by the players.

     

    Refereeing decisions,well,we know.

  2. madden takes the string out the game – we have been terrible. mikey Johnson at least tries to commit a player and run at them – we have been woeful today and I’m worried about the run in

  3. The Blogger Formerly Known As GM on

    Such a disappointing performance.

     

     

    Really, really disappointing.

     

     

    We never had a foothold in the game from the first minute to the last. Never had a midfield platform to play and were looking for a piece of individual brilliance to dig us out. Unfortunately too many players were well aware off it.

  4. Maybe a reminder that although Celtic have come very far in a year there is still a long way to go

    I think CalMac gave his all in a par-populated midfield.

     

     

    Pish. Just pure pish !!

  6. gutted with the result and the performance but after such a long, imperious run it was bound to happen.

     

     

    Two ways this can go now….Sevco can gain the momentum and end up with a double or we put this behind us and take it all out on Ross County.

  7. Dont blame tCeltic, we were never going to be allowed to win today.

     

    An absolute disgrace of a refereee

     

     

    Something must be done about the blatant bias

     

    Scandalous

  8. yeah, maybe CalMac gets pass marks, the rest nope…

     

     

    All you can hope is that it focuses the minds for the league run in. Kick up the butt.

    Yeha Ange has to take the blame for an unmotivated team for 2 hrs, who look tired after 80 mins and had a week to train.

     

     

    What have they done all week?

     

     

    Madden shouldn’t matter.

     

     

    All on us. Hatate been done for weeks.

    Madden played a blinder but we never showed up.

     

     

    Rogic should have been hooked at half time, midfield not up to it and Jota? £7 million? Pass….

  11. seriously bhoys that terrible today – we didnt even try something different. We have Julian on the bench who is as threat at crosses – instead we refuse to put the ball into the box.

     

     

    Perspective says – trebles are very difficult to achieve. but the concern is the lack of energy.

     

     

    the league is the priority and the double would be amazing first season for ange – but he needs to find another format with the fresher legs. Hatate has been finished for weeks yet he kept him on into injury time.

     

     

    the laws of probability get them into the final – the laws of probability high mean hearts win it

    Don’t agree, Madden did not win the game for them, we allowed ourselves to be outplayed, end of…

  13. We were poor all over the pitch and too many players were completely not at the races. Decision making poor from first to the last whistle.

     

    Madden a masterclass in cheating, bordering on match fixing. Commentators all mention it but instead of asking what is going on here? All have a laugh at it, Scottish punditry at its best!

  14. terrible performance midden defo motm for them he’ll earn his money on the hun circuit like the rest anyway onwards and upwards to the league COYBIG

  15. Utter garbage Celtic, gave them the midfield and paid for it, way too profligate with Hollywood crossing with no one to head the ball, we didnt even look as fit as them and that is on the conditioing staff and the training regime. A game there to win we lose and they get to a Cup Final, wrong midfield Ange and we paid for it and Kyogo is nowhere near match fit.

  16. had we turned up today MIB doesn’t matter one iota , they were stronger and wanted it more than us , we looked short of ideas and strength of mind and body, outplayed and well beat.

  17. Nothing between the teams.

     

     

    Baffling that Sevco looked the fitter team in the second half.

     

     

    CCV should have killed it.

     

     

    Ref was a disgrace

  18. Bad performance, very bad.

     

    Rogic and Hatate absent.

     

    Taylor, goal apart, not up to his new standard .

     

    Manager left Hatate on too long.

     

    Forrest offered nothing.

     

    Welsh was simply awful. He has regressed. Ralston caught short as well.

     

    I suppose we were due a bad performance, sooner the cup than the league.

     

    On the positive side, we are way ahead of schedule with our rebuild.

     

    Win the league and this will be mere blip on year.

  19. Tough loss, we were out thought and out fought. Just remember that results like this bring out the trolls so hurting though we are don’t make it worse by taking the bait. Six points clear in the league and a trophy in the cabinet already is way more than any of us could have hoped for. We go again…

  20. The squad still haven’t settled down.

     

    Too many not playing for each other.

     

    AP still has a huge job on his hands.

     

    We are nowhere near the finished article.

     

    Not even close.

     

     

    MF is still all at sea with a DM sized hole in the middle.

     

    Plus we had too much Hollywood football — making chances with a final ball to the stands.

     

     

    I wonder if there will be any drugs testing after the game — what is the SFA policy?

     

    Plus BM gave a season’s best performance regarding the Ludge MIB standard.

     

    Full on low intensity / snider central honest mistake masterclass.

     

     

    Will we ever learn?

  21. Lots of players below par today but Hatate is a real concern. Since that explosive start, it’s starting to look like he’s struggling with the pace of the Scottish game. In such a vital area of the pitch, this is a concern. Doesn’t look like Gucci or McCarthy will ever be trusted as starters or even back-up in the midfield.

     

     

    Say it quietly but I think we could’ve done with Biton today.

    Very good from Madden he really did swing it

     

    Overall we never got going

     

    But when we did our final ball was shocking

     

     

    The league. All that matters.

  23. Strange performance for a semi final.

     

     

    Still, the cups were always a bonus this season.

     

     

    Hopefully a wake up call.

  24. quadrophenian on

    Got to get this off ma chest: Ange’s bloody mindedness in persisting with hot n cold Hatate rankles; Reo has not the appetite for these feisty encounters; too nice; needs more mongrel.

     

     

    We’re a lovely bunch of guys; this Celtic team eh? SW is – definitely – a Dundee Utd player.

     

     

    That WAS game craft of the most loaded order Madden; what a corrupt cnutt.

     

    If you’re good enough, the ref doesn’t matter said a famous man once. Aye, right !!

     

     

     

    Gutted; nite all.

  25. Don’t know what the possession figures were – but *Rangers had 90% of meaningful possession – we just didn’t turn up…..simple as that. They forced us to play their game, and we couldn’t shrug them off – the best team won the match.

  26. My question is how did Ange not see what we could all see in that first half? We were poor throughout. The midfield was poor from the start and the defence got worse by the minute in extra time. How many of our defenders, three I think , could have played the ball out of the park as it was crossed into the middle for their second goal. Incidentally we made the left winger look like a world star every time he got the ball.

     

     

    A sad day, football wise. Not sure about the run in being so easy now. Ange needs to do a lot of thinking this week. I feel saddened saying these things as Ange has made a tremendous difference so far. But today our back four and the middle let him and us down badly.

  27. Game was far too open today.When we needed a Biton he was not there.Too much kick and rush which suited them.First big test for Ange,and he made a James Hunt of it.Kyoto on to the start,Hatate too weak for this game,we have watched him struggle,yet plays him before Kyogo.God give me strength.

     

    Gutted,but I was when I saw the team.

     

    Asshole.

  28. I love big Ange but starting with Hatate and leaving him on until last 10 was a blunder .

     

    He looked tired from the off

     

    A sore one
