Spot on. Filthy hun mierda riding their luck. The scum will be put back to bed next season. Let’s suck the blip up.

They are better than us in every aspect
———————-
I’m not defending how poor we have been, but genuinely, you believe that?
Was it them who made Welsh miss from 5 yards? Kris Ajer scuff the follow up? Eddie miss an open goal? Mo take a heavy touch? Eddie take a terrible penalty? Griff sky it from a few yards out? A plethora of players in hoops make bad decisions in attacking positions?
Two really bad pieces of defending and 5 or 6 really good opportunities to score were the difference.
Creating chances is part of the game
But so is taking them
Just back from visiting old maw. Didnt watch or listen to it. Disappointing this season, no doubt, but cant resort to some of the language used here.
Look forward to club’s plan & , god willing, will be there next season.
Ironic a certain ‘mr Kudela’ wins the game for Slavia today.

We did not lose the game down Kenny’s side – he did take off the failing Laxalt
Ralston would have been no better- he will leave us on a free
JK is not responsible for players missing easy chances that his strategy provided
JK needs to leave as he is tainted by his association with this year’s failure
Only then will I be proved right or wrong
Well, Mr Desmond and Mr Lawwell have got their way.
Rules from the F.A.
https://www.thefa.com/football-rules-governance/lawsandrules/laws/football-11-11/law-12—fouls-and-misconduct
DENYING A GOAL OR AN OBVIOUS GOAL-SCORING OPPORTUNITY
Where a player denies the opposing team a goal or an obvious goal-scoring opportunity by a handball offence the player is sent off wherever the offence occurs.
Where a player commits an offence against an opponent within their own penalty area which denies an opponent an obvious goal-scoring opportunity and the referee awards a penalty kick, the offending player is cautioned if the offence was an attempt to play the ball; in all other circumstances (e.g. holding, pulling, pushing, no possibility to play the ball etc.) the offending player must be sent off.
A player, sent-off player, substitute or substituted player who enters the field of play without the required referee’s permission and interferes with play or an opponent and denies the opposing team a goal or an obvious goal-scoring opportunity is guilty of a sending-off offence
The following must be considered:
distance between the offence and the goal
general direction of the play
likelihood of keeping or gaining control of the ball
location and number of defenders
Don’t like criticising players but Moi can’t cope with Derby games. Having said that, our tactics make their nobodies seem like greats – where will they be in two years from now? They are ALL journey men that we let become famous.
Our season in a nutshell, pretty passing where it doesn’t hurt, inexplicable terrible finishing, strange managerial choices, why no Soro, pointless substitutions and I’d mention defending but that’s an alien concept to us.
Boardroom chumming up with a club they could’ve and should’ve buried
What a sad ending to our season everything thing lost ,by an incompetent manager in Lennon along with Kennedy,and the whole Celtic Board if it could be possible I would pay off Kennedy Strachan ,Woods tomorrow,Put Mc Manus and ODea in charge till the end of the season,bitterly disappointed but hopefully we can bounce back Next Season.When i think of how harshly Anthony Ralston has been treat especially when you see that dud Kenny getting a game in front of him ,anyway him along with Laxalt ,Elynoussi,Bain,Duffy ,are all gone
Christie – disgrace to the jersey
Laxhalt – disgrace to the jersey
Kenny – disgrace to the jersey
Edouard – disgrace to the jersey
Add to that Calmac , Turnbull , Elyonoussi not on their game , all adds up to trouble .
As soon as second spot is secured I would not give the first 4 another minute of game time .
I’d rather have 11 honest ‘Taylor’ type triers .
STEBHOY on 18TH APRIL 2021 5:05 PM
The club should attract itself. We shouldn’t be looking just to bring in a “name” with no coaching credentials that might be able to attract a certain type of player. Because those players will soon see through it once they do arrive.
Look at the difference between Chelsea under a “name” in Lampard and an actual coach in Tuchel.
Glendaly- 2nd is secured I think.
Aribo was already on a yellow card for the challenge on Ajer.
PHILBHOY on 18TH APRIL 2021 4:58 PM
‘But big Dom McKay will get us sorted!’
###
Remember the response whenever anyone suggested Lawwell should go?
‘Who would you have instead of him? Name one name etc.’
And it turns out the answer was right under our noses the whole time! Didn’t even have to leave the stadium to find him! Hell, didn’t even have to leave the comfy seats!
I hope I’m wrong, but I can’t see him being a new broom, never mind the next messiah.
We didn’t deserve to win. True. We should have at least been able to convert the second half chances into two goals to get us to extra time.
A penalty against Rangers. Unheard of. But it should have been two penalties. And two red cards, no attempt to play the ball denying obvious goal scoring opportunity.
Where to now. Major clearout and quality players needed. Not something I would have thought I’d be saying this time last year.
Disappointing season continues. Only remaining hope is that they don’t win the cup and don’t go undefeated in the league. But that may be forlorn.
Look at the head to heads since 2017.
We’ve gone from dominating and scoring 5 to losing regularly.
When coupled with the hun in Europe, there is little doubt they are way ahead of us.
To deny that, or blame luck or missed opportunities or any other excuse misses the point.
Failure to critically analyse ourselves is why we are here.
Puff pieces, such as we have read this week, really do us no favours.
Time for an appraisal of our situation. Without fear or favour, we must root out all who are more of a drain than a radiator.
I’d love Paul to write such a piece. However, that’ll never happen.
Until we admit the scale of the problem, we can’t hope to solve it.
You and I aren’t surprised by the result today
Do the people who run our club have shares in Steven Gerrard?
Shocking lack of direction, passes, fight. The Huns were on cruise control. Even if Edouard scores I had no belief (as did most of the team) that we’d equalise or they wouldn’t score again. There was more fight between the two of them for the penalty than there was with the rest of the team all that game. Ajeti on with 4 minutes to go while down 2-0 aye that’ll sort it.
Final two bug bears,we were gutless and could have played all day and not scored, how is McGregor now Dino Zoff? I could have played in goal for them today.
Lastly Madhun, cheat of the highest order, we should have had two penalties and countless free kicks which he ignored. The Hun who gave away the penalty should have seen red, clear goal scoring opportunity?
Finally I mean it this time, apart from Elyonussi who I think we should try and keep none of the other loan players should play again this season same goes for Broony he’ll be gone next season what’s the point?

———————-
No, but they don’t tend to have many players that constantly miss sitters; players that can’t take a penalty; a plethora of players that make bad decisions; players that can’t defend set-pieces…..
With that in mind, yes, we are far worse. The league table doesn’t lie and neither does the fact that we simply can’t beat them even when we play well.
Poor decision making on and off the field has really cost us.
Not being a Celtic Da here but sometimes in life there is a need to stop, reflect, refresh, start again. We should have done it a year ago. We didn’t. It is forced upon us now.
I may not watch another ball kicked until the start of the new domestic season. Internationals are not my thing. Good time to give the head peace from all of this on a personal level.
Timbhoy2
Agreed
And when you consider the playing Edouard up front
on his own tactic we effectively turned Ajetti, Griffiths
and Klimali into wage thieves.
And that would be more than a couple of bob.

>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
I really don’t think they meant it to happen as it did but the new club got lucky. Big Shane was sh””’, Eddie switched off and was misused, NFL was poor, JF and Chris got injured etc f it I am trying to defend the in defensible -the Huns are laughing at us FECK IT
Bottom line – better squad – poorly used
Uncle Jimmy
As sensible a comment as I have ever read on here.
MARKIEBHOY on 18TH APRIL 2021 5:17 PM
I think Griff coming back unfit and overweight after lockdown really threw Lennon’s preparations out.
We ended last season with a 3-5-2 with Griff up top with Eddie and we signed players to suit that system.
Once Lennon realized that we weren’t getting the Griff of last season, it threw Lennon a curveball and didn’t really know what line-up or formation to use – even in single games, let alone throughout the season.
From that point on, it was just one calamity after another – Bolingoli incident, Lennon’s Ferenvcaros comments etc…
SFTB,
3 at the back would have been better than that dumplin, Laxalt did not score an OG, sold the jerseys last time and sold them again this time, still manages 90 minutes. Kenny reversed just about every attack down his side, his slack passing ensured we were put under pressure and Kennedy watched the same game as me.
Should have been first subbed, disgraceful management.
Scullybhoy,
I would not put it past them to have planned this, undermine Lenny as they knew he would be a patsy.
Agree with the SFA if they close the season early last year on condition the hun would be given the title this year, they did after all afree the 5 way to keep them alive, what better way to keep the olf firm alive than buy into the 55.
Westcraigs – the use of cards by the ref in EL games involving the resurrected does not match the pattern of card usage in games involving the other teams. t got the stats if you want. It was the usage of cards that lead to them progressing, not the play.
CANAMALAR IT LOOKS LIKE OCD OBSESSION on 18TH APRIL 2021 5:22 PM
Agree 100%
Madhun was imperious today.
Totally controlled the game.
Gave 1 pen, was sure not to give the earlier one.
Booked Brown for a good tackle. Did nothing to Patterson for a bad one. Elbow by Aribo, straight to head – no red.
But we knew all that. He’s was a ‘known known’.
HH jg
3 games where we’ve been at least as good as them for long periods but never looked like winning.
It’s not tactics or personnel now, the big difference now is confidence.
Getting knocked out of the Scottish Cup cost Ronnie Delia his job and even though it wasn’t JK blundering away in front of goal today I expect the same fate awaits him. He’s had a fair go and come up short, thanks John for your service over the years and the very best of luck in the future,
Meantime, if our leaders don’t act now then they are not fit to lead, sure we can all see that.

What I didn’t realise until today’s game was that the Scottish cup was included in the deal .
Does anyone think Christie is better than any hun player?
Does anyone think Kenny is better than any hun player?
Does anyone think………………….Ajeti, Griffiths, Taylor, Barkas, Duffy, Laxalt, Bitton, Ralston I could go on.
We have poor players, poorly managed.
Covid19 will be gone long before we are anywhere near the level of previous seasons, excluding Europe where we are getting worse.
I despair.
