For the third time in a month, Celtic lost three goals in a game to Scottish opponents. This is not a one-off, it is not a consequence of misfortune, poor refereeing, or injuries.
With 20% possession, Dundee can consider themselves unfortunate that a late penalty denied them the win.
You and I have discussed the need for Brendan to sort things. He is a fortunate general, his domestic opponents have both capitulated and the two crucial games ahead are at home. Not that will dissuade Kilmarnock or Young Boys. The manager has work to do.

Thanks for your reply.
I will get back to you later on it.
We are obviously watching the same games through different types of green and white tinted specs ! Which is ok.
I would far prefer you to be right which you might well be short term. I really fear for us medium to long term if the other side continue to take their medicine.
I believe our board are being negligent right now.
There is no need for panic in my view.
A number of individuals have definitely regressed recently and I think that given the absence of injuries this must be a “between the ears” issue. I assume we have sports psychologists? I’m
Thinking specifically of Idah, Bernardo and Hatate.
We miss Maeda despite his mixed end product.
Would we have lost the 2nd goal from out on our left if Daizen had been in the vicinity? Who knows?
Liam Scales looks like coming back in for a game or two at least and it’s hard to argue with that given ATs schooling at Dens.
Kyogo has been brilliant last couple of games and I wonder if he and Kenny might get a chance? Probably not- BR would likely simply revert to Kyogo up front once we have more options on the wing.
Speaking of which, it seemed very obvious towards the end of the Dundee game that they the answer was to GET THE BALL TO KUHN!!
Serious question
Who would any CQNrs prefer in their team :
£2m Igamane
£9m Idah

I kinda agree with Danny’s logic but not his arithmetic.
Ref awards the penalty at 90:54 at which time play stops.
Ref blows his whistle for penalty kick to be taken at 92:07 at which time play restarts.
The “setting up” of the penalty took 73 seconds and only 40 seconds added.
That said, Robertson could reasonably argue “setting up” is part of the game.
Penalty and direct free kick awards in dangerous areas require more of the refs attention and take longer.
Corners, low risk free kicks, goal kicks and throw ins should be self managed by the teams.
The most blatant time wasting happens with the last 3 of the 4 above and should be addressed first by authorities.
Solution is simple.
Ref raises his arm straight up with open fingers indicating 5 seconds.
If player takes 6 seconds or more to restart?
Ball is turned over.

Igamane.
I actually think Dessers is a better goalscorer than Idah.
BR has used Kyogo to the best of Kyogo’s abilities.

Looks like Kieran Tierney is being given the chance to come off the bench by Arteta, he made a positive impact albeit with less than twenty minutes against Spurs. With Zevchenko likey to go to Dortmund it would make sense for Arsenal to keep KT through to the end of the season, especially as they look like genuine challengers to Liverpool. Of course KT and his agent may see it differently but if he was to stay fit through to the end of the season with a club competing in both the EPL and EL why would you leave now with that in prospect?

Really, if Dessers was Italian his nickname would be whatever Italian is for wardrobe ,

At the moment Igamane… but Sevco have a habit of buying in players who have a great start and then fade very quickly.. Not saying that Igamane will do that but they’ll probably have to sell him.
There are Celtic “supporters” on here that have written off players before they have played a full match.
I don’t know if Idah will be a star for Celtic but I will not wright him off until he has a decent run of games.
I know Brendan isn’t everyone’s cup of tea. But can any of his detractors provide the name of a manager to fulfill the following criteria? Win every game. Never buy a dud in the transfer market. Buy players for £1 million and sell for £25 million. Oh and also qualify for the Champions League every year even though your best players will be sold just before the qualifiers and replaced with projects.

Good you are coming up on saturday,i hope its a worthwhile trip,will be around corner as i have a few tickets for folks.i understand if,with excitement building you cant make it
HH
Hmm.
Igamane or Idah?
I can genuinely understand why such questions are asked.
Standalone evidence across a two month period informs an obvious answer.
Equally though I can understand if people perceive this as being too narrow and not reflective of the bigger picture?
For my own part?
I hear the state rooms on the Titanic are the pinnacle of luxury.
If you don’t mind though? … I’ll happily sleep in one of the state rooms on the QE2 instead.

thoughts on any other currant buns ?
thoughts on yang ?
thoughts on any other celtic players ?

Agreed – idah pish right now wrt goals scored.

Your comparison is a shocker
You know fine well the £9m of our money is nothing to do with the player
He is going thro a tough time at moment,is this not the time to show your support instead of bolting of to your usual comparison with the new klub
I will stick with Idah,and you should too.
When did your confidence in idah drop off B78?
Hibs game last year wi last min pen
3-3 game vs newklub
Killie game to clinch title?
Scottish cup final goal to give us cup?
Show your support B78 and stand your ground instead of offering the preposterous comparison with a player who is still to cut it fully up here.
Playing for a zombie side who have a long line of failures since inception in 2012
Support our club and our player always B78
Dont be kackin yir pants just yet.
And that also goes for your persistent review and edit of Brendan and his management of our club
Get ye behind me….
Time to support the club,its management,team and players
HH

Tell us where the board are negligent and get enough shareholders to have the issue aired at an AGM, you don’t seem to be a backer of BR I dont care as long as he gets the team punching it’s weight ,we’re off the pace in games with little counter pressing he needs to address that by the next game

imo not any better than OH .
Been over here for many many years but I can still recall Big Bad John being called a waste of space as he took a bit to get started, however I will say this, IMHO if he had played in Seville we would have won that night, so mibbees just mibbees we should give big Adam our support, as my da used tae say, you don’t score goals sitting in the stand, oh and while I’m on a wee well fired roll, the Big Mhan signed Wispy to pair him up with Joe McGoals, so who was to be left out, Stevie hmmmm.
