Good on you KC, I promise never to question your weight again. 3 points is 3 points but hmmmmmmmmmm.
Roped into going to the panto tonight, bottom line , much happier winning than not winning.
Ohhhh yes I am.
HH.
(a), (a) & (a) – why would Gauld or Robertson bother signing? To get an 88th minute lecture on where to play for 5 seconds
Lenny is happy because we have achieved something unusual – unbeaten all season – not because he thinks we’re playing like Barca. Some on here want to get some perspective.
Happy Christmas ya bunch of greetin’ faced weans! :-)))

I agree, why don’t you go support someone else in protest..

Tin hat on here…..
Would you rather;
a) Celtic dropped 3 points in one of the upcoming matches in January but subsequently abandoned a nonsensical pursuit of going the season unbeaten and used the rest of the season to plan ahead, generate some interest, blood some younger/fringe players into the team?
b) Watched this turgid procession to the Championship from now until May?
Seriously, these types of performances would get football stopped.
—————————– ——————–
I said from the very start,once the huns had hit the liquidiser,that we should use the four years to build a team from our youngsters.
We have wasted a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to do just that.
And for those who will reply that I wisnae too happy with the level of signings we made,naw,for me,sign quality or sign no-one.
Let the fans know the deal,and we will support that. To say we are spending money is correct,but we are spending it on dross when all we should be doing is developing our own.
Good win – grateful for it.
Pretty unsatisfying stuff though.
Our manager’s reaction at the end is slightly worrying.
We don’t aim high enough – and subsequently don’t reach the heights.
Big Yogi, sat 2 seats behind me at last champions league game
Delighted with the 3 points but game itself was disappointing. We shouldn’t underrate ICT or expect to steamroll every team and all credit to our defence. However its not the type of football to get the crowds flocking back.. Aberdeen back on the 23rd November were last domestic team to score against us and that is something to celebrate. We can play better, thank God we have a midweek game to look forward to.

Sorta HAPPY
Neil becomes only the 3rd manger in our history to go unbeaten in a league campaign into the New year.
That and another 3 points are the reason why he is rightly smiling.
I seem to remember MON team getting knocked out the cup at Inverness and also Neil’s team loosing a league there.
Any win there IMO is a good win !
Yes , the fitba wasn’t great but we have seen glimpses of great performances we are capable of late.
Every game is different.

Could you blam them? I’ve earned my stripes since 1958 enough to know when I’mbeing short changed
Dexter
I respect your right to protest, indeed I am suggesting an action that would benefit you and benefit the real Celtic supporters.I am sure we will struggle on without your “support”.
How about Thistle? they could do with a guy like you.

I think we are , as they say, on the same page. We should be better than today. I still think we are.

Many on here and elsewhere give Fat Sally plenty of stick for struggling against the plumbers and part timers in division whatever!
However we have a budget many times that of our opponents -so do we give Lenny the same stick!
His team selections and tactics have been baffling at times
We hit on a system that did well at Hearts and Motherwell -then abandon it to no great effect
Why? -to accommodate the managers favourites?
If it’s true that he is protecting an unbeaten record and that he values that more because it will good on his CV -then his boss should have a word
Our home form has not been brilliant -there is little to attract people back to the ground
Grinding out a meaningless record of staying unbeaten -while persisting with guys just going through the motions -will empty the ground this season and more importantly beyond!

new article posted.
we play in a leage where a hammer thrower can commit 7 or 8 “yellow card” fouls and leave the park unpunished.
We see it week after week.
Today was no exception.
SPL is hardly the place for the silky fitba we all crave.
It will come, mais pas toot sweet !

You must have been suicidal when we lost the league up there, instead of todays
short changing.

For somebody that couldn’t see the game you don’t have raise the drivel bar.

Cheers,bud.
Next time yer in Trowbridge,gimme a shout.
We can cry into our pints about missed opportunities.
The revisionism on this site after the final whilstle is astounding! If you care to track back and read the comments during the game, the CONSENSUS was that the performance was crap, Samaras, Forrest and Stokes were crap, the lack of substitutions was crap. This was in full awareness of the scoreline and likely extension of the unbeaten run.
The match statistics will demonstrate ICTs numerous attempts at goal and the fact that we were hanging on.
Suddenly, at the final whilstle, its all “well done Lenny and the Bhoys”, “the 3 points are the important thing”, “unbeaten going into 2014”, “mineshafters”, “unacceptable comments”… Where were you during the game?

Missing the ball and going for the man…
What about the performance, tactics, management today? All ok in happyclappsville?
What were you sayin few wks ago when racking up loads of goals away at hearts an well? Nothin because u don’t seem to get any joy from them an only seem to get any pleasure from criticising team. An please, comparing us to teams who get min of 50m a yr may be the most pointless comparison yet. Nobody forcing u to follow Celtic, maybe you should apply for job as manager as such an expert
notthebus, I think you are being unfair to dexter. He is not my favourite poster but he is a Tim and is entitled to express his view without being told to go and support some other team. I have to admit I didn’t enjoy that game, I enjoyed the 3 points and extending the run but that’s it.

“Only positives are the victory and the clean sheet. A complete snooze fest.”
If that’s “the only positives” we’re truly doomed, doomed, doomed….

I await, with interest, any critique of the points made during the game that do not stand up to scrutiny from someone who had the benefit of seeing that wonderful performance.

———————————————————————-
I know we are better than today jimbo, but samaras, forest and stokes have been unacceptable with the displays expected of celtic players, especially the lack of effort recently ..I clearly heard lennie call for forest to move on more than 1 occasion today,him and sammi throwing arms up in the air instead of trying to get the ball back off a player who has just taken it from him is as I said totally unacceptable.
Just in to say….
I’m no gonnae hing aboot long enough tae listen tae Neil going oan aboot….
“In the CL – we over-achieved last season.”
“This season we couldn’t compete with the other teams in our group after, losing the quality that we did.”
Aye, Neil….ye know what ? See if ye urny getting the money tae spend or, if somebody else at the club is daein the spending ?
Tell us the noo – don’t dae a Peter Grant and come oan the TV or, Radio – 3 years doon the road – and tell us awe that ye were after players but, others were brought in instead !!!
Gonnae no ?
Anyway – 10k crowds are joost aroon the corner….don’t say yeez wurny telt.
Off oot.
Promised myself to stay off the site for a while but…
People on this site chastising the Celtic manager for celebrating a win at one of our main bogey grounds.
Yes that’s right…smiling and being happy because Celtic won is condemned!!!
What is wrong with some people for Gods sake!
Watched the game ,haveto watch what i type on here. firstly our performance was awful.why did it take 80 mins to make a change,Samaras, Stokes,Forrest,should have been subed in 50 mins, the 3 of them , as for lenny i dont know what he had to smile about at the end of the game,Time all Celtic Supporters wise up to him and his staff, in my eyes

To address your flippancy, you know that I am not an expert and nor could I apply to be manager. NL is an expert- he has the medals to show it. Hence my frustration at the seeming blindness to basic footballing realities. Am I missing something? Tactics were clearly wrong… selections repeatedly wrong combined with aversion to substitutions… clear lack of desire by the players…
If you think we cannot mirror Swansea city, your expectations are somewhat lower than mine.
I am happy with the 3 points, whenever we do not play as well as I’d like I just think about the Sevco franchise, fairly puts a smile on my face.
Och I know the mineshafters are hurting but fear not.
This unbeaten run cannot continue. You will have a Celtic defeat early on in 2014 to make you happy and this blog can get a record number of posts again.
I love getting 3 points
At a difficult away fixture
On a rutted pitch
Against agricultural opponents
At a place where we lost a league just two short years ago
At a place where MON’s team lost twice.
Well done Celtic on an unbeaten 17 match run in the SP, on 6 consecutive SP clean sheets, and in another dissapointing weekend for anhedonists everywhere in our support.
See you on the bus for the Thistle game TBJ. I’ll buy you a pint after the match.

” a helluva lot of those middling games I saw between 67//8 and 82/3 were far better than the stuff I’ve seen pre- Milan at CP and post Barca this season were of a basically higher standard”
I would agree that, if you choose our golden period as 66 to 74, you are quite right.
Your inclusion of 75 to 82 puzzles me. We exited Europe at the following stages
75 EC 1st round
76 CWC 3rd round (Zwickau)
77 UEFA 1st round
78 EC 2nd round
79- not in Europe
80- EC Q-F (our last great year till MON)
81- CWC 1st round
82- EC 1st round
Our league finishes in those years were :-
3rd, 2nd, 1st, 5th, 1st, 2nd, 1st, 1st
So, I fear there is still a rose tinted hue to our reconstructed memories. I remember being very disgruntled about our performances back then. We lost leagues to an agricultural Jock Wallace managed team.
