A lot of knee jerk reaction today but equally understandable after 2 consecutive dreadful performances at home. From a position of "strength" last week where we were perceived to have a decent euro n domestic home game coming against them having a tough 2 away game schedule we now find ourselves severely questioned with the real threat of a euro departure on thurs.
2 reasons for this - the obvious is the lack of funds provided by the board. over the last few seasons despite what lawell states investment has been made by sales of personnel.i said here yesterday that the board have learnt nothing over last 3 seasons and today reinforces such. Indeed its the same old story going back decades with our short sightedness or greed to invest, good balance sheet means absolutely nowt to the fans in May.
Secondly - NL should be questioned on team selections. Forget the "we love NL for various reasons" and look at the facts. Poor selections in europe over last 2 years, continuing selection of players who shld not b near 1st team (u all know who they r), continuning tinkering of defence (why r we changing back 4 today?), lack of force in making board buy, its endless. As for earlier posts about switching manager and getting berated, why? facts are facts. NL has pulled together a fractured club after Mowbry, wouldnt have been hard. we lost the lge again to a sub standard rangers again, lost a cup again to a sub standard side. Had it been anyone else in position I doubt the ride would be so smooth

C'mon we must have seen this coming..Hibs game wasn't good, Aberdeen game was poor & Dundee Utd scoreline didn't reflect true nature of game Our luck ran out & i'm glad it happened today... Celtic have been 'winging' it with a poor team for a long while now Without Kayal, Izzy, Hooper & Kelvin Wilson - we have nowt. I'm hoping its a wee blessing in disguise and some signings are made, would accept the odd loan deal as well.

Agree with alot of the post but not the Lennon knocking. What we need is decent money spent on the most important area of the pitch (up front) look at them and take Jellivic out of that team they would be poor,hate to say it but he is the type of player we need but they dont grow on trees(this for the board they cost decent money 3-4 million buys a bit of class. You cant get away with huff ,puff and hard work in most areas of the pitch apart from a Keeper and up front stop penny pinching and buy someone ie Jellivic or Long type. Rant over

I agree with a lot of this and was slated a couple of weeks ago for criticising. We are looking at premature Euro exit AGAIN Tinkering and players out of position is Neil Lennon's fault. Too many gloated at their poor start and Malmo result while we could not cover 3 injuries with any quality replacements and several repeat offenders who should never be at Celtic

Calm down pal,lenny will get it right,i know wee strachan done well but his nakamura team bored the tits off me,mowbray enough said,listen to the stadium its noisy again like the oneil days,have faith yes we need a few players in true

I hope that after todays dissapointing result the board can now finally see that the team needs investing in. We never had a plan b today and we clearly require a big striker to pit away the chances created. I wouldnt go as far to say that todays result is the end of the world but maybe its the wake up call the club as a whole needed.

By the way i still beleive lennon is the man to move the club forward. He was raging today after the 11donkeys let the support down badly but lets all get behind lennon he will get this mess sorted.

Dannybhoy84

The board knows full well what the team need. The fact remains theyve sold their season tickets and their 2 new kits this season and couldnt give a s**t what the fans want. We've seen it all before. We wont buy anyone and will sign a substandard SPL player in Jan.

Hammy1888

I am so disappointed with both the old firms lack of commitment in the transfer market, if our teams do not invest, Scottish football will sink. They need to speculate for the sake of all Scottish teams.
A woorried blue nose.

Agreed mate with the worried blue nose, were both sinking fast and i dont think much will be done in the transfer market, but for celtic not to win against st johnstone shows that we are crying out for a striker, if a goal scorer isnt brought in i`ll be furious, sick of being taken the piss out of, and as for the scottish league both sides of the old firm need to be playing european football after xmas to salvage anything, johnny

Another blue nose here. whats going on with our beloved clubs lads? could this be the season that teams that finnish 3rd and 4th will be closer in points to us this season? personaly id like to see that but its not that they are geting better it will just show how poor we have become. all the best for thursday night by the way.

Back to that original post and backing Lennon, he was raging today etc. He picked that team and no matter what anyone says we should be able to put out a second string at home capable of beating St Johnstone. I like Lennon but he put that team out, he couldn't get his tactics right and he couldn't motivate them therefore if we're being honest it is as much his fault as the players

No pass marks today for anyone, but big Dan was really bad. He was not interested, how many times did he put his hands up in the air to apoligize for a bad pass. The players need a good kick up the arse, and better start by winning on thursday.
paddybhoy

NL neeeds to take a look at this squad of players and have the GUTS to say to the board that it is not good enough, we need investment in the team, Centre Half, Creative Midfield player and a out and out striker.

Couldnt agree more paddybhoy, im up at 405 and spent all game watchin that big arse apologise all game

Guys and ghirls, we are not very good- should not have to be in this league right enuff. Thu is going to be difficult, rangers are bringing guys in, although quality remains to be seen- big doreen no bad player.

We need to spend soon and freshen up, get rid of maloney, mastorovic, loovens, if big offers come in we should sell ki or kayal- no where near £10 mill/ £5 mill though. If they went ftom prem team to another prem team amybe.

If we scored that penalty different story, remember bhoys we booed them off on Thursday maybe a confidence thing, and the fans got on there case again the day, my faith is still there and never will fade for Lenny, he turned this club upside and brought back spirit n pride so get off his case.

Hooper, K.Wilson, izzy, kayal these are players who are out which is 4 of our starting 11 this is gonna make a difference, wait till Thursday when we have 3 of the 4 back different story, it's the 4 game plenty of football to be played get off his case.

Hail Hail

In Lennon we should all trust

Cumby Bhoy

Im not upset at lennon he gives 100% , the whole world can see that we need a big striker who can mix it up in the box , i dont know why ki doesn't hit the penalties hit the ball so well . maybe this is the kick up the ar5e that the team needs .

Absolute nonsense shud av more than enough to beat diddy teams like that

Maybe it will, just wait till Thursday n see what happens, n who seriously disagreed with getting off Lennons case lol he's our manager lol

Cumby Bhoy

We all have faith but it's not unusual for a few to vent their frustrations after a match like that. That said however, i have to question Lennon's selection again. Commons has been poor since the start of the season and looks about 2 stone to heavy, yet he is continually given game time, he needs a stint on the bench, maybe that'll shock him into action. One man upfront against a team like St Johnstone is bad enough, it's even worse when we are the home side, we had Sammy and Murphy on the bench and despite their criticisms i'd much rather have one of those two on the park than Maloney, infact its time we gave big Rasmussen a chance. As for Brown...meh, he can bust a gut all he wants, the boys supposed to be a midfielder yet he couldn't pass water. Why Forrest isn't in the first 11 defies belief, his wilingness to run at players was sorely missing against Sion and again today.

Forget all this Bridge / Bellamy cobblers Lennon and get your finger oot.

TrampsPants

This might be hard to understand but I have it on good word that commons is always first at training n last away, my source a guy called ************* who works at Celtic fc and takes Celtic fc in at under ****** level, if you don't believe me look him up you will find him, and unlike everyone else's source inside Celtic I have been asking and everything is being played really close to they chest.

But we need to buy it's a must

Cumby Bhoy {Ed007's Note - Cumby mate, you do not have to prove your sources on here. Putting your name etc to everything you post is good enough for me, and there are friends of mine that don't want their name splashed all over the site, that is why I edit/delete them. I hope you understand buddy.}

No problems ed, just putting my source you knw what some ppl are like lol, but makes no diff to me just good to knw that I don't need to do it to prove a points


Cumby Bhoy

What a load of rubbish, thats st johnstons 1st win this year, there 1st win against us in 13 years, so what if we had 4 1st team players out, what a load of crap, rangers had 13 players out of theyr 1st team squad, went to motherwell, top of the league, NOT been beaten, rangers coming calling, thrash them, and in the manner they did, scares the living day lights out of me, we get beat off a team that hasnt scored a goal all season, wer rubbish, am totally gutted, and if we get put out on thursday, lennon should go, hes won 1 cup out of what? about 8, thats all competitions, and he says hes bringing the fire back, CMON TO FXXK HERE BHOYS, its NOT good enough, wev got the CHEEK to laugh at rangers, bloody CHEEK.....

He has won 50 games in 66, has beaten Rangers 4 times and has made incredible progress for our club and because of ONE defeat at home(our first in 10 months) you want him sacked? Ludicrous

21 Aug 2011 17:18:02
Lennon needs to have a real good think about his team dan is a diddy, scott brown is not captain material. i do respect lennon but he needs to get his finger out two games in a row without scoring at celtic park is embarrasing Chrissybhoy

As a rangers and Scotland fan, with many celtic supporting relatives and friends, I agree with the comments about Scott Brown. What does he actually do? He didn't exactly impress last season, yet was granted instant idol status when he made a gesture at a rangers player, who to be quite frank was totally s**t and sullied the name of our club. I saw a similar picture in the paper taken the other night against Sion. In someones face trying to wind them up. Is that the sum of his talents now? Maybe if he concentrated more on finding some form, and less on trying to curry favour with the crowd, things would improve for both Celtic and Scotland. P.S. Good luck for the return in Switzerland. I hope for the benefit of Scottish football you get through.

21 Aug 2011 17:10:58
today just proves we need another 3 players one a striker 2 a left back and 3 an attacken midfielder a gd one at that if we dont get them in i really fear for our season ahead soory about speling guys

Dont think we need any midfielders i think we need a solid centre half to go with wilson and a proven goalscorer

Yeah but brown is pi.. commons needs to find his game again ki or kayal will be sold i honestly think kayal will be sold i would bring back mcginn think hes a top player lennon is blind sometimes i think we should honestly try and get big crouch he would be brill with hooper

21 Aug 2011 17:06:36
i think this shows the board need to spend money on players instead of trying to find bargains all the time,just look at long scored two in two he would have been a great signing but the board just dont want to spend any money.wish they would listen to the fans for once

21 Aug 2011 17:05:31
Sack Lennon. Now.

Missing Hooper for a few games should not lead to our team falling apart, and if it does then Lennon should know that but clearly didn't identify it. The fact he hasn't yet brought in a striker and is willing to rely on the current set of idiots who couldn't score in a brothel shows he's not up to the job.

Stokes, Commons, Maloney and Brown need a swift kick up the backside or need to head for the exit. Their performances in the past 2 games have been totally unacceptable and they need to know they're not automatic starters if they don't perform. {Ed007's Note - Sack NL now?? Sober up mate.}

Been saying commons contributes nothing without goals but was shot down and the less said about maloney and our supposed captain the better

Keep taking the pills son Lenny has lost three major players in three weeks, Izzy Kayal and Hooper.

Try mouthing off at Lawell/Dermott who aint backing him properly

DazzaBhoy

I agree - any other manager would get sacked, but cos it's Lennon he is untouchable We are on the verge of getting KO'd from Europa first round 2 years running - not good enough. If we lose on Thursday I would replace him asap {Ed007's Note - With who?}

He has won 50 games in 66, has beaten Rangers 4 times and has made incredible progress for our club and because of ONE defeat at home(our first in 10 months) you want him sacked? Ludicrous

Sack Lennon? You are either a person in disguise or you are just truely a class A tit away n bile yer heed

In Lennon we trust

21 Aug 2011 17:02:31
wit the fluck is going on with us and they think we will git a result in switzerland a dont friggin think so,absoloutly pathetic dont deserve us,getting sick of watching them now those players shoudnt be playing in our jersey,as for lennon if plan a doesnt work he hasnt got a plan b,sorry im starting to doubt him,hes just a puppet for that board

21 Aug 2011 17:00:35
utter garbage. Losing to st.johnstone? they cant score then beat us total garbage. Majstorovic what a waster, needs a goal brings on james forrest? aye total genius that

21 Aug 2011 16:55:31
I can't believe how crap Celtic are this year. Poor in Europe, no better than dog turd in Scotland. Lennon should be sacked. We are doomed. Celtic are no better than amateurs. I fear for them. TimTin.

Get a grip PretendTim........you've got a whiff of h** about you

"I fear for them", back to the cupboard under the stairs son

DazzaBhoy

Instead of posting that rubbish do you not think you should get your homework done and get your bath for school.

50 wins in 66 since taking over and you want him sacked? PATHETIC

21 Aug 2011 16:54:53
The problem with playing McCourt is that Celtic become one dimensional,its so predictable.But Maloney has to go,the boys awful,dead ball specialist?My a**eSick of hearing it/saying it,but we desperately need a striker,Id even be happy to see big Rasmussen given a crack.

Can no one in our side score bloody penalties?

:/

We've had that problem for years. Even Larsson had a few wobbles from the spot.

{Ed007's Note - Some of the stuff people are trying to post is just ridiculous, they won't get posted so don't waste your own time or especially mine. I have better things to do than read the BS that people are trying to post up. Grow up and accept that this is an adult orientated site where people from CFC and Rangers can talk/banter. If I need to start banning people I will, I am getting severely scunnered with all the nonsense that some people think is funny, it is not. If the site isn't what you are looking for I apologise, but it is what it is so go and find another site to pollute. Even though you don't leave a name I still see your IP address and know exactly where you are. Absolutely childish and pathetic.}

Here here.keep up the good work ED, i think people just get bored and talk shxxe.(grow up)

bristolcelt {Ed007's Note - Sorry lads if that was cheeky lads. Nothing against any the regulars (CFC and Rangers and others) but if you can see anywhere on this site where any one is called a Fenian/Orange B, the H word or anything like that? It is never posted, so why try to? And even worse name calling, it is absolutely pathetic. It is water off a ducks back to me, I will just delete/ban as needed but you really are wasting your time, I have been called it all before 30 years ago, I am actually an adult and treat others with the same respect they show me, regardless of their creed/colour/team, I suggest some of you do the same.}

Well said ed, I post a few times a day sometime n the reason for that is because you don't read that stuff on here, alot of old firm fans need to take a long hard look at themselves. Keep up the good work mate.

Cumby Bhoy {Ed007's Note - Thanks Cumby, this is actually my hobby and I am just lucky enough to be able to do it regularly. I don't make a dime from doing this. I want it to be a place that fans come back to, it is still busy after the window closes talking/craic over football, and we don't need cheap hits, I would rather post 10 good posts a day than 1000 BS ones. We are Google accredited which means a lot prestige wise, so I can wade through it all (and the Rangers Eds are the same BTW) and as I have said before, it is all you guys site as much as mine, I do this for all of you and for my love of CFC, if you don't like it or my opinion then this isn't the site for you. We do appreciate the praise we get as it makes it worthwhile, and as you know any suggestions/input is more than welcome and if possible we will try to implement any ideas etc that people come up with. I think(??) I have got a FB page for the site going, but the technical side confuses me lol}

True Ed, this site is for rational supporters to participate in some banter not any bigoted crap from the 17th century

DazzaBhoy

Hi there ed have you ever heard of freedom of speech,i do agree with you on fen**n and oran*e b ,but the rest is banter,this is a banter and RUMOUR site isnt it,its a water of a ducks back for most people not just you pal,and by the way all this ip adress stuff and turning on peoples web cam,what if people just put a rizla over their came,REMEMBER IT ALL BANTER IN GOOD FUN,EVRYBODY IN THEIR OWN HOMES,SO COME ON MATE NOT SO SERIOUS AS YOU SAID YOU DONT GET PAYED,SO DONT GET STRESSED(will you post this debate?)or ban me {Ed007's Note - I know exactly what the site is, it is the stuff you guys don't see I'm talking about. I am very far from stressed mate, and if you had to wade through some of the bile I have to you would maybe understand. There is banter/craic, a laugh and a joke and there is complete childish bigoted hate filled garbage. That is what I am talking about, you see what I post up, even from Rangers fans, some I disagree with but accept their point of view and it is put across in a civilised way. Out of all the Eds I am probably the biggest WUM and enjoy baiting Rangers fans (and others from the Man Utd site) but there is a line. Would you accept complete strangers saying disgusting things about your wife/family? I need to read the stuff and yes it is water off a ducks back to me, but it is sad that people think they can post that stuff. So please don't come on and tell me to lighten up, I am making a serious point about the site, and you have came on and passed an opinion on something you know nothing about. Bad mouthing my wife, family and friends is not acceptable to me, if you think that it is then I suggest you find another site to post on.}

I understand mate, but if anybody was bad mouthing my wife/family and friends and i could get thier ip adress,well you know what i mean,(plus if your going to run a internet site then its part and parcel mate ps what happening at celtic itsa disgrace

Well done,its one of the few sites l come on thats not got the West of Scotland/Northern Ireland sectarian bile. {Ed007's Note - Thanks mate, that is not what we want the site to be.}

Do not believe this 5m for Kayal s**te, he is worth more than that Lennon has already asked those above him not to sell him or Ki. Before the Daily Mail edited the article it said McLeish watched him against Sion (even though he was injured and not playing). Just more media lies (same as paddy handing in transfer request, Lennon confirmed he has not on twitter).

Spot on mate. McCleish must have been sat in Kayal's front room watching him, wach it on TV. Absolute trash.

As for McCourt i believe the Sun's headline read 'McCourt: I Want Out' yet there was not one single quote from him to back this up. Absolute trash.

Kayal worth more than 5 million?,are you sure?he is playing in the spl ffs,he hasnt been tested in europe even,,,same as the gers fans talkin aboot 15 mill for jellyfish,lmao honestly,,get real

If u think u will get 5 mill for Kayal ur off ur head...... Wouldnt get any more than 3.5 for him..... People just hyping up his price same as the jelavic story......
