    Inquisitov- I’m looking at the reaction of their fans at full time and listening to their professional fans commentary and punditry on the game. They seemed strangely OK with not winning today. Given that so much is at stake it makes me curious. If it were us in their situation we’d be in uproar.

     

    I find it strange, even though they have shown time after time their capacity to ignore the facts.

     

    ——————————–

     

    It’s probably because they are in a Euro semi final, that’s a great achievement for a Scottish club so is softening the blow of losing the league.

     

     

    If they go out, then they might start re-evaluating how the season has gone.

     

     

    Do the Huns have a bigger wage bill than us??

  2. SuperSutton on

    A game we should have won and could have lost. We’ve dropped our performance levels recently. Nerves or opposition worked out how to negate us?

     

     

    Either way we are 6 points ahead with three games to go.

     

     

    Happy with that.

  3. Paul The Spark on

    My hope for this season was that we would be competitive and hopefully ready for the start of next season. I would have given my right hand to be in this position and already have the League Cup in the trophy cabinet already. I do think the success we have had over the years has made us greedy and some do not appreciate how difficult it can be to get us over the line.

  4. IniquitousIV on

    I think a lot of fans, including me, are just a wee bit frustrated that we didn’t, or couldn’t, take the very rare opportunity to win the league with a win against the Orcs, and rub their faces in it.

     

     

    Spoiled rotten I know, but I guess we just want it all, and we don’t want to wait.😊

    Performance outliers always need to be investigated.

     

     

    Drug (mis)use is a big issue in just about every sport.

     

    They have been used before in football so it needs to be looked at.

     

     

    JW and his Gullane Sands commando training was always an interesting story.

     

    Given how performance drugs had links to Scottish athletics in the 70’s through contacts with the US.

     

    And then WJ — ex TFOD1.0 — suddenly gets caught at the 78 WC.

    Currant buns in totes panic – I just heard on a hun alert podcast

     

     

    ‘is van brinchunst the manager if we lose the scottish cup final?’

     

     

    we won today.

  8. ziggydoc1 on

    The huns thought they’d lose today and are happy with the result and their performance. They had to win but didn’t. A draw was fine for us. We’ll win in on Saturday.

  9. mncelt on

    RT – I think the reality of their season will hit with a bang if they fail to get past Leipzig.

  11. MadMitch on

    Us vs Them …

     

     

    Who has the bigger wage bill?

     

    Who will have the bigger T/O?

     

     

    Hopefully the wage thief that is PL really has left the building.

    Here’s hoping. The thought of that shower going to Seville would turn my stomach.

  15. MadMitch on

    The TFOD2.1 Booster Club has been turned up to 11 regarding their EuL campaign.

     

    I think that every lever has been pulled / every trick has been turned to help them on their way.

     

     

    They have been kept afloat by their efforts in the cups.

     

    The Hibbee three goal miracle wasn’t in the script but the EuL borefest most certainly was.

     

     

    If they don’t win then they don’t eat — one way to keep things focused.

  16. IniquitousIV on

    ROBERTRESSELL

     

    Thanks. Methinks you are correct about the anaesthetic effect of reaching the Europa Semi. Reaching the Scottish Cup Final by eliminating our chance of a treble undoubtedly also helps.

     

    When they sell out all their season tickets, all will be right in their world anyway.

  18. Turkeybhoy on

    OK,I am glad to see most agree with me on the ridiculous decision to play Hatate today.Bringing on Biton when all around are playing like headless chickens is ridiculous.I say most,so many saying Hatate would be the key man today,no idea what you have been watching.

     

    I thought Ralston would have stepped up today,but he was crap.Sorry Tony.Maeda,seems to be a golden boy for some,not me,shit himself for the header.Good cross for the goal,but that was it.

     

    Today,Jota was the only star.Calmac,CCV,Taylor,O Riley,get passes,some of them dodgy.

     

    Manager,has done a miracle to win us a double,but in big games,eg,playing Hatate,not so sure about his occasional decision making.

  19. teabhoy on

    Fellow CQNers. Take a deep breath, hold it for a moment, exhale and relax.

     

    That’s the league

     

    Enjoy tonight , sleep well and awake knowing they failed

    This season, probably yes

     

     

    They also face a rebuild in the summer probably without the security of CL cash. Their best players are in the last year of their contract or are out of contract.

  21. KINGLUBO on

    When, if ever, is something going to be done about the refereeing in Scotland. I know it’s deeper than the ref’s themselves , but there simply HAS to be some kind of inquiries made by a football authority higher than Scotland.

     

    Ref today was almost as bad as Madden, but, ffs, he gave us nothing unless it was blatant, but always give them the benefit.

     

    It can’t go on surely

    imo Joe hart shouldn’t be in goal next season, badly need a replacement , jota has to be played from the start on the left wing.

  25. MadMitch on

    Our wage figures look a bit low.

     

    Plus I think we will have substantial bonus figures on top.

     

     

    Poor bonuses for the SPL might explain some of their performances.

     

    Their cup bonuses would appear to be a lot higher to go with the effort they put in.

  26. BillyBhoy1967 on

    Absolutely sickened by that second half performance. I already had two correct scores on the Superbru competition and had 3-0 today. It could easily have been that at HT. We simply didn’t come out for the second half.

     

     

    I’m convinced that we have the better squad, more good players in every position and a superior bench. Yet, for the third time in a row I’m having to seriously question that. We almost turned a potentially convincing 4-0 into a 2-1 defeat there.

     

     

    I’m not sure who’s at fault here. Recently, I’ve been quite critical of Ange in the last few weeks but I felt today was on the players. Too sloppy in possession and not clinical enough in the final third.

     

     

    Its a better result for us than them I suppose but to me it almost felt like a defeat.

  27. IniquitousIV on

    Looking at the salary tables provided by ROBERTRESSELL, Jota is near the bottom. He needs a very large percentage raise, or we are going to lose him. Just for comparison, Julien earns THREE times his wages.

    KL @ 3.02

     

     

    Some of the MIB decisions seemed to be taken in sow motion.

     

    SPL VAR must have been in play today.

     

     

    4th official offering advice in a lot of situations.

  31. Saint Stivs on

    dearie me, usual nonsense typed during the game.

     

     

    i enjoyed it, get some perspective, 6 points clear with 3 games to play. and a goal difference of 61 versus thems at 42.

     

     

    we scored 10 more than them, conceded 9 less.

     

     

    TWENTY NINE GAMES UNBEATEN

     

     

    they had to win they tried everything, we got a bit of luck, but so did they with the reffing and our lack of compusure in front of goal.

     

     

    the scenes after the match will see a ban on away supporters, it really is too dangerous.

     

     

    already looking forward t clinching it next weekend.

  32. PeteTheBeat on

    BIt odd that only 2 minutes added on at the end given the subs and the YCs, plus Sevco finishing strongly.

  33. setting free the bears for Res. 12 & Oscar Knox on

    Turkeybhoy- It may not have come across on TV but I would add Carl Starfelt to Jota’s name as a good performer. Thought it was his best game in a Celtic shirt.

     

     

    Overall our 2nd half performance was as poor as the semi-final but we had a very decent and creative first half

  34. NorrieM on

    May be just me 🤔

     

    We desperately need a better quality left back, as a starter for next season

     

     

    Let’s get this season dusted, and allow Ange to build bigger and better next season

     

    We also need to be moving on

     

    Barkas, Bolingoli, Julienne, Soro & Ajeti.

     

    There will be more I’ve missed, but t move these 5 gives us significant funds to improve areas required

  35. leftclicktic on

    One victory out of three games and we are champions.

     

    Would have eat your arms and legs off for that at start of season.

     

    Bring on the jambos.

  36. notthebus on

    Mixed feelings on that.

     

     

    Nervy performance

     

     

    We dont have a back 4 or a keeper who can play out from the back. Totally committed to the philosophy but we need to improve the quality

  37. IniquitousIV on

    Tuchel going Tonto on Chelsea bench. Not happy with his players, or the officials, or both.

    SFTB @ 3.04

     

     

    Please don’t give them any ideas …

     

    Silence is a virtue in circumstances like this.

  40. RC on

    once again we were timid and weak until gio came on ,why oh why did thems look far superior fitness wise , full of running ,we are a burst flush after half time.

  41. Jinkyredstar on

    I’m delighted that we are about to win this league. After last year it is beyond my dreams. Yes today was tight and we could have scored more in the first half and yes we have work to do for the future, ‘‘twas ever thus. The league is over the whole season and we have proven to be the better side.

     

     

    Also – been doing a bit of digging- when we do get over the line that will be 16 championships this century – our actual 16th title came in season 1921-22

     

    I’m a a sucker for a stat or two🇮🇪🇮🇪🇮🇪
