Moan all you want about refereeing decisions but the most damning statistic today was the number of saves the St Mirren keeper was forced to make
“If you’re good enough, the referee doesn’t matter.”
A quote attributed to a previous Celtic manager
Jeez, are we hard to watch, or what? Commons gives us a great start, and instead of pushing on to make refereeing decisions irrelevant, we revert to type.
Every single outfield player for the Paisley Club ran their guts out for 90 minutes. We did not.
A few questions for Neil:
Why, when we lose Victor, do we defend so high up the park? Why, when we break, do we do it so slowly? Why are we virtually incapable of putting a shot or header at goal? Why were there so many punts upfield direct to Goodwin? Why were Charlie’s first 3 corners all identically inept? Why doesn’t Lenny do something to adjust during games? And why, oh why, does he give Tony Watt just a few useless seconds on the park? He puts in a lot more effort than Hooper, Stokes or Sammi.
Finally, does anyone know why Chuckles Green was in the stand wearing a St. Mirren tie?

I am just waiting on kev jungle for a treble,the first two have just came up
Just back from Paisley.
Never a dull moment when a Scottish referee is in control, eh?
I have just seen Alanmac’s highlights (thanks GG). They confirm my view that a red card was harsh and the penalty was a joke. My first live viewing of their disallowed goal suggested to me a clear and intended foul by their player but Sammi’s hand ball error did seem a clear penalty.
We were not great today but it was an exciting match. McGowan, Newton and Teale played well for them. Beram Kayal, Victor and Izzy showed drive and determination for us. There is a need for improvement in Ledley, Stokes and Hooper.
The league will be won after the split against a top 6 side.
I will celebrate like mad when it happens.
Many thanks to CRC and pals for my ticket today, and to Senor Pablo Diablo for his company also:)
There has been a real end of term feel post-Juve, has infected the players and some of the fans also.
Scottish football will never revive unless the refereeing issue is tackled. Why bother paying good money to watch a sporting contest which can be artificially skewed by the bias or incompetence or whim of a rotten official?
Hail, hail
TallyBhoy,
One of Phil’s best, imo.
Connolly, a bit of a hero for me… And theres few of them… His quote in current times, is interesting
“If you remove the English army tomorrow and hoist the green flag over Dublin Castle, unless you set about the organization of the Socialist Republic your efforts would be in vain. England would still rule you. She would rule you through her capitalists, through her landlords, through her financiers, through the whole array of commercial and individualist institutions she has planted in this country and watered with the tears of our mothers and the blood of our martyrs.” Shan Van Vocht January, 1897.
Not going to let today’s performance or result spoil my Easter Sunday – all the family coming round for dinner -bit of a squeeze round the dinner table 9 plus 2 highchairs -can’t beat it – might be back on later.

Anyway some good football news for Celtic
St Kevins Academy Under 13 tournament final
Celtic 2 West Brom 1
Celtic came from one nil down at half time to win with two goals by Ciaran Diver
Including anwell taken overhead kick to equalise
A very enjoyable weekend of football

“brings on tony watt,for f–k sake, if i was u tony i would have told him were to go.”
Why don’t you just pretend you are Tony Watt? It’s no different than pretending you support Celtic.

———————–
Still too cold in his shadow to even mention his name?
Anyone know our win percentage when Kayal has started this season?
Don’t think it’s particularly high?
I have said before his headless chicken routine unbalances us.
He can’t tackle or pass so fail to see why he is picked.
Wish Timbhoy2 & Mickbhoy 1888 would go back to Follow Follow and leave us alone.
JimmyQuinnsBits
Agree. A very fine piece by Phil. We should never forget the sacrifices that many brave men and women made.
What is the Stars
Well done the young Hoops.
HH!!
I didn’t think Hooper was playing until his number came up to get subbed , we may regret not selling him in January.
Martin O’Neill anyone ?
Good Mhan What is the Stars for keeping us updated on the khids. Brilliant Stuff well done to all concerned.
Atp masters on.
Hope Murray wins as the huns hate him due to his allegiance to his…green & white background.
Kojo
if you’re still about,I was reading back the match updates and saw you refer to Goncalves as a player,what do you think of his role in the penalty they got
Looking at the league table, if the top 6 stays as it is we are due home games against 4 of the remaining five teams.
We would definitely be away to Kilmarnock but having to make a 3rd away trip to either Motherwell, Ross County, ICT or St Johnstone.
What a farcical setup.

Another quote from the great man take a wee bit of notice of the first line.
“Without fans who pay at the turnstile, football is nothing. Sometimes we are inclined to forget that. The only chance of bringing them into stadiums is if they are entertained by what happens on the football field.”
I would rather take notice of the fans who attend and pay the wages rather than take notice of Internet apologists who are always looking for approval of their posts
Did our players come off that pitch today in the full knowledge that they gave absolutely everything and had no more left in the tank? Doubt it. Whilst I appreciate Lenny will want to publicly back the players, the standard was quite simply unacceptable and the fans deserve better. Too many jerseys have shrunk to fit inferior players in my view.
Fan a tic
if you were at the game today, you would have seen Kayal at the forefront of all the necessary pressing that we did. You would have seen him exhorting the troops to maintain discipline and effort. And you would have seen 3 gorgeous slip passes in the first 15 minutes, one to Hooper should have led to a goal. His was a driving performance of a born leader.
Mind you Scott Brown gets the cheap “headless chicken” jibe too. It is equally ill deserved. We would have lost today’s game without Kayal & Izzy.
Gordybhoy64
By your own admission you never seen the game so how are you able to comment on conclaves negative or otherwise
why was Mel the yorkshire man at the match today.
i heard RS say something earlier about a story in the people,
dont have time to scroll all way back , can someone summarise for me.
i thank you.
Sftb
Kayal izzy and Commons surely ????
i did see that the classy Andrew Little signed off his “championship ” twitter with a cheeky wee WATP.
instead of the grammatically correct WATZ.

Goncalves is a Player.. Ma Kinda Player.. Perhaps, no YOUR kinda Player..
He . Battles.. Yep.. He Battles..and He Maks things Happen..
Ah thought that the Penalty, wiznae a Penalty..
Na..No because. Ah thought that He hid Dived..
‘
Na..
In Ma opinion, he wix clearly fouled bythe Late Tackle..’
But..
Ah don’t think that It wiz a Penalty.. As ..
‘
In Ma Opinion..
He wiz Fouled..
OOTSIDE of theBoax.
A Free Kick.. no question.. but, Nevah.. a Penalty.
Ah don’t believe that he DIVED.. Let me Mak that Clear..
Na..
He is a Player, alright.. we could use a few Mair in oor Team wi his
ATTITUDE.
Kojo
Goncalves is not good enough.
Miku & Lassad would look sensational leading a St. Mirren front line.
Remember Fernandez, Sylla and Laursen??
Wieghorst was a welcome exception to that rule.
mickbhoy
Agreed. Commons was very creative when on. I would also include Wanyama to make 4 acceptable performances today.
mickbhoy1888 16:14 on 31 March, 2013
Why do you go to the effort of pretending you support Celtic?
None of us are fooled.
Kojo
What part of Izzy touched what part of the cheating diving Portuguese simulator?
Kojo
I will grant you that Goncalves is as good a player as Adam Virgo and Mark Miller.
Sftb,
Spot on
Mickbhoy1888,
The link to the penalty was posted by gg about half an hour ago,that’s the only part of his performance I wanted an opinion on,is that good enough for you

Ha Ha, playing to the gallery will not help as even the thickest of the zombie nation realise he can’t cut it.
Ten Men Won The League: “We would definitely be away to Kilmarnock but having to make a 3rd away trip to either Motherwell, Ross County, ICT or St Johnstone.”
Fir Park III it is then. Would anyone bet against it?
We are no talkin Aboot..
Lassad, Miku, Fernandez.. or .. Tom Cobley..
F.Y.I.
We are talkin aboot..
Goncalves..
Keep up wi the Program,pal..
Kojo
It was never a sending off.
It was never a penalty.
We did not play well.
But imo there is no other word
for what happened today.
Cheating.
Setting Free the Bears
Pal…
There ye go again.,

My , ye ur so Full o..
Non Sequiturs..it is Laffable..
Kojo
