We should be putting in an official complaint about Beaton. We could of had another couple of injuries today. He started giving out yellow cards at the end to cover his own ass.
Oh look, the huns are second.
PHILBHOY hope you are well luv you to bits now if only i could get fairhilbhoy on board id be doin cartwheels.lol.

Some pish on here tonight, but step forward to the top step
I would like to know who the referee assessors are, they are prob more culpable than the cheats on the park
BIG PACKY on 18TH FEBRUARY 2018 6:03 PM
GARY67 were you satisfied with our performance.hh.
No, as I said everything was too slow and we were taking too many touches. That’s what happens when you make 7 changes, that’s what’s happened (with one or two exceptions) all season when we’ve made too many changes.
Was satisfied with some individual performances, Ajer, Hendry and Kouassi in particular.
BIG PACKY
Watch that FAIRHILL BHOY, I think he’s a real TIM!
:-)
You can argue whether the referee is a cheat or just plain bad. When Beaton refused to give a foul against Foster because he knew he would have to send him off, that was clear cheating confirmed there and then. End of story.
Typical Glasgow weather even the drizzle was freezing.
Haven’t read back but posted at half that this game had loss of points written all over it as soon as the internet gave us the seven Brendan changes.
The next cliché heard will be. ‘that selection should have been good enough to beat St.Johnstone’ even though they manifestly weren’t from a very early stage in the game where St Johnstone for the second time at Celtic Park showed their mean side and teeth.
We opened brightly with passing football that didn’t produce a breach never mind the break through, and St Johnstone rose to the challenge of being better than a Celtic fringe side, put together because of ‘the more important Europa cup.’
A big let down for season ticket holders that get to see the squad if not the first picks, but more importantly how would they have fared against an overly physical Perth side given cart blanche by the SFA to break the rules with fear, of caution.
Time and again John Beaton either waved play on, or secreted away his embarrassingly overdue yellow card, of caution and from The Battered Bunnet’s seats you could very nearly see the smirk on St Johnstone’s faces who knew they were in for their bonus.
Beaton even blatantly allowed their wall to step up a metre, before spraying his ten yard marker, all a waste of time because anything we hit was woefully weak, and when the ball got in the box you could tell we made up our minds to miss.
Pitiful , now is the sight of Scott Sinclair bearing down the left wing random hammer thrower one, almost holding hands with hammer thrower two who gets him, only if the first one’s missed.
By the time the cavalry Forrest, Dembele and Keiran arrived the scalps had already been taken, the engine was running in the Saints bus.
Seen this movie too many times for comfort now Brendan.

Have been a huge fan of Rodgers since he got here. Massive, but he got it massively wrong today and he knows it. Listen to his post-match interviews. He’s rattled. Deflecting in a way I can’t remember before. He didn’t need to decimate the team and risk dropping points. Complacent garbage. The league isn’t won yet. Maybe unlike him, I care more about ten in a row than the possibility of an extra round in the Europa League. I don’t care if that makes me parochial.
NOTTHEBUS
Great post!
Notthebus
Sorry you disagree with me. That was unnecessarily rotten today and becoming a more regular feature of home league matches.
PETERLATCHFORDSBELLY
Your “ten in a row comment” is hunnish and shows your sense of entitlement.
I am only interested in winning the league this season.
If we can win the Scottish Cup too, that would be fabulous!
Not overly concerned about Thursday but hope we do well.
C’MON THE CELTS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Sportscene goes with –
‘that selection should have been good enough to beat St.Johnstone’
I got to Celtic play in Paradise today. Result
I met DBBIA at the Gazebo today. Result
Celtic extended their lead at the top of the league today. Result
After two minutes, having looked at the composition of both teams, I opined to Joe, next to me in the stand, that Beaton will have the ability to influence today’s game and he will use it.
Celtic were physically inferior to St. Johnstone and their agricultural approach to the game.
Beaton allowed their approach to dominate, even when obviously contrary to the rules of the game.
Jock Stein said if we score enough goals the the referee cannot influence the result.
Today we didn’t score and Beaton played a blinder.
No matter a full strength Celtic will pump the sheep then the Sevco.

What’s the excuse for when we don’t have euro footy ;O)
It wasnt an excuse, we’ll maybe a bit of one. And I just looked up the results and it’s not really true, either.
Ah well…..
Bad day at office.
Young Hendry still learning & will learn to give the keeper an option to give him the ball when he passes it back to him….
Missed Broony

I’m not interested in getting into an online barney with you or indeed Notthebus. If being preoccupied by ten in a row makes me Hunnish then you can group me with 99% of all the tims I know. I will never, ever be like those supremacist, bigoted Neanderthals. It’s not a sense of entitlement that drives me, it’s an understanding of the glaring opportunity we have to stick it to them for all their cheating and gloating over the years. We hold all of the aces, which is why taking unnecessary risks by playing the B team in an important league game at this stage of the season makes zero sense. Freshen up the team by all means, but retain enough of a core to do the business.
Would love to advance on Thursday and win the Cup, but I’m clear – the league takes priority over everything else.
EC67,
That’ll do nicely.
One of the worst aspects of some of our support, is the 10 in a row arrogance.
IF / when that is achieved, what other mill stone will they saddle the club with?
Imagine being a child of those demanding, entitlement driven people!
We unbelievably, have now failed to score in the second half of our last 4 league games at home………..
GARY67 fair comment pal.ktf.
PETERLATCHFORDSBELLY
No!
Winning the next 4 titles is your priority.
One game at a time.

” It’s not a sense of entitlement that drives me, it’s an understanding of the glaring opportunity we have to stick it to them for all their cheating and gloating over the years. ”
Your priorities are the same as mine as are your sentiments.
KEEP THE FAITH
Philbhoy
Agreed. If we play even close to our best team it will happen.
PETERLATCHFORDSBELLY
Agree!
Patience my friend!

Fine!
I know that you are a fine TIM too ;-)
“Celtic Plc are brilliant. Peter Lawwell has everything under control.
Sevco are mid table fodder. The Compliance guy will sort it oot.
Tottenham drew today too (FA Cup), so we will forget about our poor performances in the League and Brendan’s Team Selection today.
The stolen titles and EBT’s and stuff is all historical, don’t bore us with it.
Sevco aren’t cheating any more.
Anybody who raises any kind of a concern is a Hun and should be shouted down.
There is no player in Europe or anywhere that would improve that team for £30 or £10m or £5m.
Soon we’ll huv a Hotel to watch Tribute Acts in as well as the Sevco Tribute Act on the pitch.”
Sevco/SFA/Refs are all laughing at ye from the Lodge, while the Plc take your money. (What about Lawwell’s loss of £40/50m of CL money during the Ronny years?)
Some on here are displaying a lack of awareness and analysis which is now damaging to Celtic and must be absolute music to Dave King’s and Alan McRae’s ears.
Predictions for Paul67’s Headline/Squirrel tomorrow,
1) Brexit
2) SNP
3)EBT McLeish (still waiting for that analysis).
HH
The latest incarnation(s) are great fun, eh!
The charcaterisations and the story build up, unbelievable……
Just in from the game, has there been a poorer refereeing performance in the last 40 years?
The MIB’S are in overdrive ghuys watched Sportscene there and Madhun was every bit as bad as cheatin Beaton , i wish Celtic would be more outspoken about this , it really is out of hand now !
Thomthetim
Im very uncomfortable with this whole ten in a row thing as well . It is very ” we arra people ” sounding sorta thing . Even Paul67 said in one of his articles recently that the league is a given….. I disagree . Yes if we some how managed to lose this title it would be a disaster but Im old enough to remember singing ” We,ve won the league again fly the flag fly the flag ” A British Airways Ad at the time in the 80s. Well we blew that particular title spectacularly when Aberdeen clawed back a huge lead ( 12 points? or something like that ) when it was 2 points a win. It can happen and our domestic form is very worrying . We should be focusing on one game at a time and one title at a time and reign in the hunnish attitude
9pts clear
Off to Russia on Thursday 1-0
League cup in the bag
Morton a hurdle for Scottish cup semi
Dry your eyes CSC
GERRYBHOY, isn it good after a bad result we all get together, to be honest i dont know any posters on here who are not tims ,or if they arent they are hiding it well. kevj.only kiddin.hh.
