To be fair with much the same players Celtic have had similar results and under par performances at the likes of Easter road.
However it was always with a possession based game that was not working and the main gripes we all had was the ‘too slow’ or ‘too many safe passes’.
Today was very different.
We actually defended very well and credit to the manager for that once again.
But going forward and general play was shocking and 3rd rate.
Very worrying.

My motivation for criticising Olly’s performance was the evidence of my own eyes. He played poorly and wasted possession on numerous occasions. He was dispossessed almost every time a Hibs player challenged him, and showed no positional sense at any time. More worryingly, he showed little appetite to even put a shift in, which imo illustrates his conviction to the Celtic cause.
Lennon watched this, why did it take him so long to hook him?
I think the team are nervous, we play hoping for a mistake, one glaring miss today hibs centre half misses a cross eduard showed zero anticipation of the error it hit his thighs and over he is not a natural 6yd box predator, going forward we need a finisher big-time, lots of square stuff again today, 9 ahead with 12 up for grabs, please win next week against another team who can park the bus, it won’t be simple , need total committment from all.
I remember saying on here the other day regards ntcham, I think there is a player there somewhere, im not so sure now ,thought rocky had a great game.hh.
So the unthinkable scenario that has been slotted never to happen of us winning the title at Ibrox edges closer as a running bet.
It would be one thing winning the title at Ibrox in a canter towards the title.But if it does get that far the manky mob will go into that game with genuine hope that they could pull off the title.
It will be a very dangerous in terms of safety fixture from a player and limited celtic fans point of view.
Hello again all you young rebels.
Not our best day, so many things i could pinpoint, but another step
towards the illustrious 10.
I suppose we’ve got to accept the other team are busting a gut to either
impress future employers aka Mcginn ,or just they don’t like Celtic.
Me, i’m happy with a point, and when you calm down and think about
it we don’t need to win every game.
But you negs will have a different attitude as is your right but ffs lighten
up.
I await your brickbats.

CQN’s great Celtic mind ThomTheThim predicted some moons ago that ‘the late goals’ wouldn’t always come’, prophetic words following NFL’s ‘ my job is to get this team over the line ‘. The task given to him by the flak evading power broking multi millionaire’s of Celtic, passed the baton firmly to Neil ( he brings it all on himself) Lennon.
Celtic weren’t hungry,today, good players passed the ball, and the buck, after Andy Walker’s early anti Celtic excitement when Hibs threatened to get a corner, the is the only ex Celtic player that gets enraptured, when his old club get denied a penalty? It was admittedly one way Celtic traffic where in an identical fixture BR-exit ‘screwed up’ big time bringing home nil points, this season.
Neil Lennon opened with what he saw as his best hand, but too many of the let down with 12 games to go, let him down and couldn’t give him another cup tie, and reverted to running on empty, like the Livingston game.
Too many poor performers to ‘escape goat’, inadequate challenge, or even cover in both full back positions, total lack of variation in system thought, never mind midfield, Ntcham?. Tired ‘been there done it’ dynamic from the players, let down the big Celtic end, and anybody but Celtic Scotland, have their touching distance, if not this season maybe next?
The treble, treble challenge was gifted to Neil, when BR ratted on his club, his contract, his players, and his fans, I hope Neil takes the challenge and saves the blushes of the Celtic hierarchy,that helped caused this ‘legginess’ they might not see nine in a row, without much thought and big spend in summer.
M.O.M. Kris Ajer
My heart sinks when i see Ntcham’s name in the starting 11
The upside is i thought Rogic was quite good when he came on
The whole body language was wrong- management and players alike.
The tactical and personnel decisions by NFL were very poor indeed.
I have no confidence that we will win, effectively without fans, at Ibrox. Yes we will win the league, but (as we so often do) it will be done with a sour taste left.
I have no idea what Timo Weah has to do for a run in the side. He was given 5 mins and actually was more direct and more creative than Forrest had been in the previous 85. Wee James should never have stayed on. Scott Sinclair is filling a shirt. That’s all. Ntcham was on fat longer than he should’ve been and Rogic should’ve been picked ahead of him.
The dieing embers of the Rodgers era..we need to get over the line and press reset in the summer.
The good thing with Rogic is he’s physically quite big and has a great touch. Means he is useful at holding the ball up and bringin others into the game
Ntcham does really ‘have’ anything honestly
The dieing embers of the Rodgers era..we need to get over the line and press reset in the summer.
Perfectly put.

I don`t think there has ever been a League game which Celtic did not win but were still considered to have performed well.
Not, at least, if I am to judge by CQN` s majority response.

Play like that over a season and we won’t win the league — simples.
Very lazy performance by a squad that needs new blood and new leadership.
We are very sloppy and very wasteful.
Very disappointed if ON has lost his edge and now wants away.
Great player with a huge talent but a waste of space if he doesn’t want to be here.
Should have had a huge future with us.

Are you for real ? ” winning a league title will leave a sour taste ” ffs
i think some of you negs should be transported back to the dark days
when supporting your team meant exactly that.

The blog is about as slow as the Celtic attack today.
Love you Neil. One of us
But sadly you are not the person to take us on
To Sadly Start Hayes who sorry is at best an Aberdeen player who has Really no idea about Celtic ( Celtic tv struggled to even name Di canio). Not good enough Neil
Poor today was a peter lawell strike force ( 30m in bank )
See Forrest his usual mr anonymous
How can a player play the whole season and only play About 5 games
set pieces poor
lots of good possession but poor distribution (TR and ON)
fannying around something dreadful on the 18 yard box
all over the hibees
and a warning to the board – when we are without the players which are above spfl quality, we are shut downable
well done lennie, you’ve put us in there for a rebel treble
Ignore the trolls bhoys!

As far as i’ve noticed you’ve posted twice in the last few weeks
maybe thats why, but then again maybe i’m just pissed off when
anybody slags the Celtic.

“Play like that over a season and we won’t win the league — simples.”
What is even simpler is the expectation that a team will play like “that” for a complete season. “That”, whether it is good, average or bad “that”, is present throughout a season of ups and downs. What is to be expected is inconsistency. Consistency or uniformity of performance would be the surprise. Barca, Man City, et al have off days. The best teams have fewer off days and more on days. They still win leagues
Very lazy performance by a squad that needs new blood and new leadership.
It was an end of season performance and it was end of season. Unlike the last 0:0 draw I witnessed at Easter Road, in the “Buy Steven Fletcher and we win the league” season I saw a much more tired and worn out performance than I saw today and that cost us a league. And Steven Fletcher, on that pitch, was more tired and inept than any Celtic player was.
On balance I have been in the “Don’t give NFL the job” camp since the beginning. However, I am grateful for his availability and service in steadying our ship when Brendan left us shocked and reeling, split from top to bottom by those who were still pining for him, and those who saw him as the 2nd re-incarnation of MoJo. NFL has done a great job in seeing us over the line- I am sure we will get there, having done the hard work but Neil is still not my first choice for the club. I would place him higher up in consideration than Davie Moyes, Malky McKay, Paul Lambert, Alex Neil or Shaun Maloney. If he gets the job, I will stand by him.
But, if there is an interesting coach of a higher calibre available, I would let NFL go with our thanks. Winning 9iar and 10iar is going to be hard and harder. Neither continuity or change will guarantee anything. Gutting from top to bottom engenders wariness at the absence of familiar dependable. Doing nothing engenders complacency. I hope and believe that we will go for a more balanced approach.
We are very sloppy and very wasteful.”
Yes, we have been on a number of occasions, including today. And including every season I have seen Celtic, even our recent Invincible season.
Peter lawell is not Celtic
He holds our club back and we end up with poor quality
SFTB. Agree 100%
But rumours abound via Chris Sutton that we will cut cut cut to maintain large balance sheet for AGM

“See Forrest his usual mr anonymous

Nice to see you on here enjoying some dropped points :-)
You may have to take some sedatives when the POTY announcements are made for this season.
The Celtic Star website currently has James Forrest polling 57% to the next placed Callum McGregor (30%) and Kris Ajer (11%).
When JF wins the award from Celtic Supporters and his fellow professionals, and this is coupled by an English Championship Award or large transfer for 27 goal and 9 assists Teemu Pukki, you might need a darkened room.
See you at the 8iar celebrations!
SIDNEY TIM
Peter Lawell is not Celtic, we are Celtic the fans, the support, get over it.
i’m sure you know what i mean.
H.H Mick
SFTB Indeed I can see where you are coming from it’s JF or the rubber plant at reception
8 in a row should have happened over 6 years ago , but PL heated drive way Came 1st
Not nice to see our club struggle in CL qualifiers against teams on a fraction of our income
Melbourne. pL is unfortunately Celtic
Today is a reminder why I don’t come on this blog after dropping points. I’m not over the moon about the result or the performance but witnessed much worse under the snake this season. If we win next week then we are on 81 points which can only be equalled and not surpassed by only one team. We could conceivably win the league next weekend without kicking a ball despite the fact that “sevco are far superior to Aberdeen.” ?
ST
I read Chris Sutton’s comments and I am sure his sources are probably better placed than any I have.
There may be a need to get some high earners off the wage bill but the approval for all those contract extensions in BR’s time (Forrest, Rogic, Tierney, McGregor, Ajer etc;) were approved by both PL and DD.
I cannot see a huge reduction in player outlay risking any last, last, last, last throw of the financial dice by Sevco in going for 9iar.
However, were we to lose Scott Sinclair, for example, who has contributed a lot of goals but some indifferent performances, I would not cry much. Or Ollie Burke. Mikel Lustig going, I would regret as we have no adequate replacement in either Toljan or Ralston yet.
I predict that Karamoke Dembele will be putting the pressure on James Forrest’s position next year. He looks good enough at the moment to get a 10 minute appearance in one of our final 2 games this season.

Emm The CQN KGB keeping an eye on number of posts an individual makes in set period of time? I do not post as often as I used to mainly because it has become a major pain navigating the ads and the frequent issues with being able to type an opinion or indeed reply to another posters opinion on CQN, none of which have been addressed by the blog hosts/ admin despite numerous requests from posters to sort. That coupled with the fact that the blog is not as vibrant as it once used to be with many long time posters having left. Me – I praise and slag Celtic as I see fit – today we were pish poor – fact. The blog should be about differing opinions – IMHO

“SFTB Indeed I can see where you are coming from it’s JF or the rubber plant at reception”
Fair play.
That was a good joke.
These days we are a PLC.
The share price seems to be important to the major shareholder.
Fergus McCann was the only option available unfortunately.
This league win, if/when we win it will be the sweetest – sorry – I know many of you saw the dead rangers stopped and you witnessed helicopter Sunday and MON but there’s something about this year – BR pissin off, a squad ageing, the great lennie comes back, we are assaulted on the pitch, the baseless talking up of the hun will make this stepping stone to 10iar sweet sweet honey.
I see the usual suspect the antipodean Mona Lisa is back on, we must have dropped points the day.
I said after the Livi game that 5 draws would give us the title and given one of them would be against secco it still stands, however I hope no, let’s gub killie next week and then win it up at the pen the following one.
celtic undefeated for 18 games.
but back to back 0-0 draws has the bedwetting ingrates of cqn slagging everyone from a title winning manager to the player of the year in waiting.
as someone else typed, it took 4 excellent saves from the hibs goalie to keep us out.
we will win the league next weekend, how anyone can mention another helicopter sunday is hysterical nonsense.
celtic supporters my arse.
Ntcham was Hibs principal ball winner in the centre of the park.

I have no doubt you are a Celtic fan, maybe with underlying
reservastions but how can we not be happy with the prospect
of ten in a row?
Think how the stickeys will combust when that happens, omg
