We should ensure that none of our players leave for this international carry on
We need to focus for a big game next weekend
I see the usual po-faced moaners are out in force.
We have a very young team still getting to grips with fighting on two fronts. We’ve just had one of the greatest results in our history but the panic merchants want to wail about how terrible it is that we’re not about 10 points clear at the top of the league by early November.
Some people seriously need to come to grips.
Googybhoy
I hope so
At present I don’t subscribe to such an arrogant approach ….
In a marathon the runner paces himself, in a boxing match you will cop a dig, the champions will be standing up and being counted when the medals are won.

Your assumption that the league is ours is stupid!
We are falling behind now.
Please tell me the games we will win and the opposition will lose to and so we eventually win the league.
Well?
===================================================
Do you want a spreadsheet?
Or a bib?
Dry yer eyes.
For the benefit of your sensitive constitution:
We will win around 80% of our remaining matches. We will inevitably drop a few points in around a half-dozen games which will mostly be draws with a defeat or two. JUST. LIKE. TODAY!
We will win the title in April.
No other side in the SPL can match Celtic’s consistency when we hit a winning run; they have neither the finances nor squad quality to outlast us.
They will chew each other up in pursuit, going tit-for tat at taking points off each other.
That above is a summary which will in all likelihood play out. I hope it plays out against a backdrop of Champions League progression.
If it does, expect more dips in momentum like today as the team comes off high-tension, emotionally-draining weekday contests with the best in europe.
If you can’t handle that, the best I can offer is to advise shutting your eyes and ears and asking someone to poke you with a stick when we’re back to winning ways.
Any further breakdowns of above requried/detailed spreadsheet projections – you can pay me from your offshore account…

5 barca`s starting eleven on wednesday didnt start todays game.
We had 10 that started on wednesday starting today.

They’re professional athletes in the peak of condition with every legitimate aid known to medical science at their disposal. Tiredness should not be a factor.
Complacency.
As poor today as magnificent on Wednesday.
Absolutely no urgency.

PFayr.We dont have the same resources or the quality of player that Barcelona have you cant compare apples and pears.You will be telling us next if we were in the Spanish league we would win it and we are now favourites to win this seasons Champions league.Come on man I know your a clever man but show some realism.H.H.

Sorry are you saying this team is not capable of going 20 domestic games unbeaten in this league?
If that is arrogant then so be it.
Maybe this sports psychologist will do the trick, because it’s a mental not a physical think that’s wrong.

What winning run?
Just give me the spread sheet.
Your arrogance and overconfidence is breathtaking.

Wednesday’s CL disappointment doesn’t seem to be affecting Barca … 3 up away to Mallorca.
Obviously Mallorca NOT in the same class as St Johnstone mate!
Barcelona having a euro hangover ??
Well I’ll be damned
No bhooing…..
10 /10
…………terribly obvious.
terribly predictable…………

Barca threw on Pique, Villa & Fabregas against us, there is no comparison re depth in squad. For those advocating mass squad rotation for today, I again ask, name your team. I’m as disappointed as anyone we didn’t get the 3 points today but I was realistic enough to know we would struggle and will continue to struggle until we get 3 or 4 more established players fit again.
Never usually comment in here after a game.
No wonder when people in here with more faith in our team who reckon we will win the league are described as ” arrogant and over confident”
Off now got better things to do than trade insults with fellow Bhoys.
The General view on Jim Mcguinness is that he is a very inspirational man.

‘For those advocating mass squad rotation for today, I again ask, name your team’
Who from the first team squad is fit and available and didn’t play on Wednesday?
Which of the development squad players are fit and available?
I’m offski as well googybhoy, still grinning after Wed.
Big shout out to the guy who walked back to Tesco with us after the game.
Thanks a lot mate.
You saved me from the Bournesouprecipe post match rant.
Mrs BSR, sorry, you’re it.

Capability shouldn’t be mistaken for certainty
Btw,,..I meant no offence with my last comment
What do the bookies make of things ?
Have Celtics odds increased after this weeks results.
2 points from 9.
Can anyone tell me. Not a betting man

Lenny has said players are exhausted, make sure every last one of them is pulled from international duty.
6 from 12 is unacceptable and for me it all comes down to attitude, other CL teams dont struggle as we do afterwards, maybe the jump in class from spl is a factor but the bittom line we shoukdnt be dropping 4 points in two games to st johnstone.
As a side issue, Kris Commons showed off some tattoo work undertaken on Friday over what i woukd estimate to be at least 4 hours of work. From personal experience that would have a massive physical impact on the body…..not the best idea.
Anyway, onwards to what will be fantastic atmosphere at Pittodrie……..and well played again, Tony Watt…..more desire and bravery shown today.
Awe naw
80-1 on
Ie invest £80 to win £1 :-)))

Re Commons tattoo …should only be a allowed closed season IMO
Just back in.
From heroes to villains in just a few short days eh ?
What a support, Jekyll and Hide (not mis-spelt). Vast areas of empty stands that were packed midweek is a sad sight.
I just can’t fathom some of our fans out. As soon as St Johnstone came in to it they found their snide, negative voices, beforehand they’d been quiet. Wailing at Brown, then Mulgrew anyone they could vent their wee frustrations at.
Samaras was getting abuse for being “6’6 and losing a header” and if “you’re no interested get tae !*!*” both came from one clown. All directed at the same guy who played with an ankle injury on Wednesday.
Petulance, arrogance and ignorance in abundance all counter-productive.
1/80 is about the best you will get, many at 1/100.
Jfh
You don’t think that there is the same gulf in class between Barca and Mallorca ….and CFC and StJ .?
Incidentally I was being a touch obtuse
Awe naw
Betfair
Celtic 1.1 (1/10)
Hearts 32 (31/1)
Looks like we have lengthened from around 1.05 1/20.

There is nothing certain in life and we do have improve our league form.
My question to you was are we capable of going on a run of games unbeaten that will see us win the league.
I think we do not just based on capability but on proven capability.
My evidence last year.
No offence was taken mate.
Hail hail
ernie this has to be my last post as I have to go out, but I’m not quite sure whether we are at cross purposes or not. If you look at Club website you will see circa 23 outfield players listed, 6 of them are out injured, leaving you with 17 now in a normal game you would use 13 , so there are only 4 players totally unused, probably MCCourt, Imbrahim , Twardzik & McGeouch up to today. Now I know there are under 20 players there but overall we do have enough fit players for any kind of meaningful squad rotation. That is the only point I am trying to make. Sorry got to go, will take it up with you some other time if you are interested.
Lhaads and lhaaasies. Infrequent poster as i am, i attend as many games as i am able. Wednesday was breathtaking, today was, well, pretty nondescript.
Perhaps lenny needs to thump into the bhoys that unless they turn in performances that will win the sphell, then there aint going to be the occassions we witnessed on wednesday with the old ground rocking
We will win the league but as season ticket holders we deserve better on the bread and butter stuff.
I wouldn’t like to see an under 20 team out, but today was crying out for a good mix of experience and youth. Dylan, ibrahim and fillip could have started but then again i’m not nfl.
It will come good in the sphell, but sooner rather than later would be good particularly if you’re travelling a distance to support the bhoys. Never too far to see the bhoys mind.
Back to lurking and a big h.h to celts everywhere.
Totally off subject…..

Celtic’s Champion League stats
Played 8 Won 6 Drawn 1 Lost 1
SPL Stats
Played 18 Won 9 Drawn 6 Lost 3
The club is playing a lot of football particularly the high pressure games in the Champions league. Both games against against mighty Barcelona and the massive occasion on Wednesday night were hugely draining – I’m still suffering the after affects myself ffs – just look at a hardbitten dude like Rod Stewart bawling his f….n eyes out.
We have a mounting injury problem which is not helping Neil’s team selections. Any word on Tony Stokes and let’s not forget that Skokesy as well as scoring goals also created a fair amount of assists. Not to worry we have a good team and can get back to winning ways next weekend.
While I know we can’t assume we’ll win the game in hand but if we do we’re a point clear. If the trade off for doing far better than I’d expected in othe CL is a tighter league race then I’ll take that every time. Do you think any of the teams will open a 15 point gap? I seem to recall that being closable before.
