watched ‘there will be blood’ last week not great IMO but day lewis made it worthwile…
seen django and gangster squad not fussed on the impossible and ‘les mis’ doesnt seem like my cup of tea
ah well
B-)
My 6 year old grand daughter was having a wee sugar high last week.
My wife gave her a row a couple,of times and eventually threatened a 5 minute sentence on the “naughty step.”
That provoked a full blown strop that only females seem capable of.
She claimed nobody liked her, she is spoiled rotten by us, and that she was getting out of our sight.
Cue a quick visit to the fridge, a raid on the biscuit cupboard, and she packed her school bag with the goodies.
She then went into the small bathroom, locked the door and started playing music.
We left her for 15 minutes, thankful for the peace and quiet before she eventually emerged when Jaffa cakes were finished.
After consoling her with even more sweets and biscuits we handed her back to her mother still on a sugar high.
Point? Is there one?
We can’t act like prima donnas when things don’t go our way.
We don’t just love our kids, grand kids and football team when we they are angelic.
And finally
Trust the person in charge to take responsibility to sort out the problems.
‘GG. (Grand dad and Celtic supporter)
Oh well, these things happen.
Frustrated but there are still bigger fish too be fried.
Well done, St Mirren. You deserved that today. Hope you win the final.
Not surprised that a few interlopers are here no doubt we can expect some more soon.
I can see their point though.
After all, their team did manage a draw this weekend so I guess that gives them the bragging rights.
Appalling record in the LC
of late an appalling record at Hampden
We’ve won one cup out of the last six attempts( domestic cup competition) and only made the final three times…..poor record having regard to our squad and the quality of opposition
Hod oan,is it no Swur Aliks fault, as L/pool getten gubbed 3-1 as well,Brenden wis at that Managers meeten as well as Neil.
Jist sayen like PJ
That was one of the poorest performances I have seen for a long time……
Many (all) of those bhoys did not deserve to wear the hoops today…..
I can only hope they somehow recognise their failings…..
No tracking back, no winning of the second ball… no attitude…. they were in a word…..
Rubbish…… I could single out a few for specific criticism…. but on the piece they were shocking……. Mulgrews penalty….. which was a rather soft award…… but would have killed the game….. it was a pass back…… where on this earth did he ever think that was net bound…… All round, the finishing was poor, the defending was even worse……
Neil needs to take a look at this lot of chancers…….. ask them if they want to turn up and play for the shirt….. or they just taking the money….

Same here, didn’t really think much of There will be blood apart from the Day Lewis’ performance. Lincoln is similar, you can appreciate the effort but I wouldn’t call it enjoyable.
TT
Hampden is becoming a particular Dead Zone for Neil – in his latter years as a player and as a manager.
He keeps getting the first half wrong – and runs out of time to get the second half right.
He moved from a 4-3-3 to a 4-4-2 because of St Mirren, yet kept Lassad in the team – I’d love him to explain that logic – because the man did nothing this game to justify his appearance in either formation…
U
Let that be a lesson for Dundee Utd, don’t take the wee teams for granted.
No complaints today, other than the parking attendant who gave me a ticket.
Could be worse, could have manflu!
Katherine Jenkins is foxy
Uly
Lassad was no worse than most today ….it’s very difficult to pick out a decent performer
Just home …. Poor show from the whole team… Poor management… And the usual cup semi final support made up of 30% kids and loads of bhoys and ghirls who only seem to go to semi finals. Not having a go at them … Just wondering how many will be at juve but not there today
Well troops my introductory weekend is at an end and I’m back to working & lurking tomorrow. If any of you clubbers are bored get down to SWG3 for ShamPain launch night tomorrow, we’ll be on the decks. Bit of what to expect.

KTF…HH…Later
St Mirren keeper saved the pen ….anyone recall any other saves of note that he had to make
A fine lunchtime meet in the alternative gazebo featuring (in no particular order) Bournesouprecipe, The Battered Bunnet, Dontbraatbackinanger, Goldstar10 and their various friends and family. And then it was off to the game…….
Still – I’ve got my health (I think) ;-)

In fairness a family of four could go today for less than the price of 1 Juve ticket. The pricing of these League Cup semis is to be applauded as it allows a lot who can’t afford the grossly inflated prices for season tickets, spl games and European nights to go to a match
An Dun,
Didnt mean to be glib but time and times move on. The Glasgow Cup and the Glasgow Charities Cup were prestigious tournaments in their day even up to the 60’s and 7
0’s. The LC is an irrelevance. If we have to play in it – play the youth team.
……….oh oh………….
well……so we took a gubbing….happens to the best of them…….remembering all the abuse i handed out this morning……and whats heading my way tomorrow am……theres a lesson to remember……however…………itll be my turn again in a couple of weeks when we do to juve just what st mirren done to us today………..swings and roundabouts…….mon the hoops!!!!!
HH
I blame the efficient ball boys/girls returning ball too quickly at 1-1.. They should ve played for time..
It’s on day’s like this I know how much I love Celtic……..just like the rest of life it’s
only people you love that can let you down.

Another absentee in this Celtic team is the lack of desire/passion to come from behind . The ability to build momentum and overcome a deficit, even at Celtic park, has been lost .
This lot seem beaten when things go awry .
My thoughts are about St. Mirren. They played very well today. I watched them at home against Ross County and they were dreadful. Two thoughts come to mind:
Why don’t they play like that every week?
Why are they second bottom of the league?
Scottish football is a strange place indeed.

I suppose my reasoning is that – he has no pedigree of making the difference, plus he was poor today…

Charlie scores with the penalty we win the game simple really
Plus on chances alone we should have been out of sight
On chances alone Barcelona woulda scudded us…lucky for us we took our chances,,,, they missed theirs…today was a game where we squandered possession, missed chances,,, and the saints took theirs. We were well beaten.
Well beaten my arse
Borderlandbhoy, not at all saying that they’ve become bad players overnight at all, BUT it is fair to say those good players, Sammy, Charlie, Lassad were awful today, and others, Victor, Joe L, Hoops, Wilson and Izzy were very poor. The attitude was poor from the start today and we’ve all been over this course before – Killie in last year’s final, Old Huns before that, Hearts in SC semi, lot of home games this season.
It does seem that when we are big favourites, we think that just turning up is enough – challenge for Lenny is to instill a much more professional attitude in his team, so that their ability will win the game, but to do that, the attitude must be right. Today it wasn’t. It’s is a lesson that should have been learnt by now and it clearly wasn’t. Team was complacent and lazy in its defending today.
Just back from Hampden- even the traffic was slow in getting away.
At the risk of upsetting Philbhoy, I will say well done St. Mirren! Their players and fans showed more hunger than ours and their win was, unfortunately, fully deserved. No complaints about the ref (except the usual one about calculation of injury time) and, without making excuses of any kind, I think the Hampden surface remains poor, though St. Mirren did well enough on it.
I thought Neil was right in describing our performance as “soulless”. We lacked pace and urgency for all but the 15 minutes after half time. Only Brown and Hooper get pass marks (Commons tried hard but was off form) and that is not enough to beat even a limited team like St. Mirren when they are fired up.
We do have a Hampden hoodoo now to go along with our previous League Cup hoodoo.
We lost a good chance of a St. Patrick’s day final and, of course, the very rare and hard-to-win “treble”.
Overall, I remain pleased with my team and my manager but, today, we let ourselves down badly.
Ole Man flued Eurochamps67 dodges another bullet.
Why does it always rain when Celtic lose?
Came on, just as we left and the now cup shock conditioned Celtic support prepared to exit the embarrassing stadium that masquerades as national, *no running water* after another head scratching performance where ‘better’ players were beaten by a team second from the bottom of a league, we’re winning in a canter.
Personally I think it’s psycholigical and I’ve witnessed ‘rotten’ Celtic sides, wipe the floor with St.Mirren and their like, and here we have a ‘last sixteen side’ eliminated. It’s happening in football every other week, but I won’t bother with Neil’s after match interview as I’ve already heard it, but he’s not analysed and discovered why Celtic don’t play at Hampden, it’s not an isolated incident.
Too many poor Celtic performances and fingers could be pointed in too many directions today, so not a day for Blogging football talk, meeting CQN’s finest, eases the pain, along with a mazy quick run home.
Lassad’s a finisher.
How many chances did we create for him today?
The one I remember him getting he put his shot on target, hit the St.Mirren captain’s chest then arm and we got a penalty.
apart from that a few flicks and touches arounfd the box and a couple of slide-rule passes unlucky not to set someone through.
But if he’s to be judged, let us judge him when he’s been given the chance to use his ability in front of goal.
Similar with Zaluska – feel sorry for him getting scapegoated by some given none of the goals were his fault. He was unlucky with the 3rd, did well to get a paw on it given the pace Thompsom hit it at. He, like Lassad at the other end was let down by the poor efforts of those between them.
And Gary Hooper will have impressed none of England’s top guns with his first touch – not a chance of surviving in the frenzy of the EPL when you can’t make the ball stick more than 2 out of 5 deliveries with your back to goal.
….I suppose we shouldn’t be surprised,
afterall………
some of our number also venture onto our opponents sites too..
…
Our defense allows looks uncertain playing in front of Zaluska.
And with his recent performances its understandable.
Did not think he was particularly to blame today but he didn’t do anything to give us the chance to win.
First goal was not his fault but his attempt was pitiful.
On the penalty neither he or any other player or supporter of Celtic expected him to get anywhere near it.
Third goal was a decent shot but his effort again was pretty poor.
If Forster leaves or is out for extended period then our season is in jeopardy as having Zaluska in net has a negative effect on the team
juve will think we’re a walkover after today
Hurry back Fraser Forster. I’ve got a lot of time for Zaluska but he is a shadow of the keeper we signed from Dundee Utd. Made up young McGowans mind for him at the penalty.
Maybe FF has just spoiled us.

==============================
Plenty of big European teams have thought we’re a walkover.
Plenty have fallen.
Keep them thinking that, suits us fine.
I’m all for our players being ecologically-aware but does Charlie Mulgrew have to play the semi-final of a major cup with a hibernating woodland creature balanced on top of his head?
