“And to those saying we should not expect to win every game…why not? ”
—————————–
I would go with the likelihood of that happening being rare. In around 130 years of league football in Scotland, only 4 teams have ever had an unbeaten league season, two of these were in the 19th century and two in this century. Only one managed to win every game, the old Rangers in 1898/99 over an 18 game season.
So, usually when an event is highly unlikely I do not expect it to occur or criticise players for failing to achieve the unlikely targets.
In short, I expect to be able to win each league match before we play them but I don’t expect us to win all of them at the end of a 38 game season
the long wait is over on
Anyone seen their pen award.
According to shortbread it “looked like a stonewaller”.
But then they would say that wouldn’t they..?

Beaton adding mystery time on at the end of the half to allow another Sevco attack that leads to a penalty. Missed. Justice served.

Penalty was a definite. Cantwell diving at every opportunity though.

It was a penalty but c#ntwell played for. He was already falling & had booted the ball across the box. That was his second dive in the match. Chest

I don`t think Newco will close the gap today. Then again, I was confident we would win yesterday !

as I said they will never score sitting in the dugout and to say OH is a proven goal scorer, heaven help us
lets all do the huddle on
to me the argument isnt really whether bringing on JF and MJ was the right or wrong thing to do at the specific times in that specific game yesterday.
you could give pros and cons either way.
my point is that despite numerous transfer windows and numerous signings that we even have that as an option in an important league game.
thats a worry.

the manager talking sense and seems pleased.
——————-
Celtic manager Brendan Rodgers declared himself satisfied with how his team have navigated a difficult start to the cinch Premiership season despite dropping points against Hibernian on Saturday.
The league leaders lacked urgency until the final quarter at Easter Road as they were held to a goalless draw.
Celtic were looking to follow up wins at Ibrox, Pittodrie, Fir Park and Tynecastle in the opening stages of the season but still retain a healthy lead in the title race.
With six of their next nine league games due to take place at Celtic Park, they can look to extend their lead before Christmas and the subsequent visit of Rangers on December 30.
Rodgers said: “After 10 games you’re judging your team. We’ve won eight and drawn two. We’ve been to virtually every tough away ground in this country.
“We couldn’t get the win but we just take our point and move on to the next one.
“It’s been a difficult start for us in the league but we’ve come through it well.
“Saturday just wasn’t our day in terms of how we wanted the game to look.
“You have to give Hibs credit, they defended well in numbers. You have to respect that.
“We’ve won eight games and drawn two. The squad is getting better and we’ll get players back. It’s still early but after 10 games I’m pretty pleased.”
Rodgers admitted his side were too slow in possession for much of the game. Daizen Maeda forced an excellent save from David Marshall but the best chance of the first hour fell to Hibernian forward Martin Boyle, who volleyed over from just outside the six-yard box.
Rodgers had started with the team that played the bulk of Wednesday’s Champions League draw with Atletico Madrid but Celtic improved after he made a raft of attacking substitutions around the hour mark.
James Forrest hit the crossbar, Mikey Johnston forced a good save and David Turnbull kept the ball moving.
Rodgers said: “It’s not a league where you can always make wholesale changes and think you can win games.
“They’re all tough so it has to be strategic without upsetting the flow of the team.
“Over time every coach or manager would like to strengthen their squad. We’ve got what we’ve got and over time the players have shown their qualities in this opening period of the season.
“We’re not entitled to win every game we want to. But it’s not a day to point the finger at the bench or anyone else. The squad will get stronger hopefully in the time I’m here.”

In the SPL this season we have won 8 and drawn 2 games. We sit 8 points clear. An excellent start
In ten games we have used 28 players
2 goalkeepers,
10 defenders
7 midfielders
9 attackers
After ten games 17 players have made more than 5 appearances
One central defensive crisis with 5 of our cbs playing 5 games or more
We seem to have completely forgotten the Injuries to first choice CBs, most creative midfielder, first choice right wing, first choice right back.
We’ve settled on a starting 11 but it isn’t like the rest of the squad haven’t contributed

“sitting in the dugout , they never will”
——————————-
Your point was that it was bizarre to field Forrest, Oh and Johnston, proven goal scorers, at 0:0, instead of Iwata and Yang, unlikely goal scorers.
That is the opposite of bizarre.
2 minutes added,penalty awarded 2.35 seconds
c8ntwell made a bad touch in the box and lost the ball just as the hearts player made a challenge, got very lucky.
