Still Haven’t Found What We Are Looking For.
And we will NEVER find it if we continue to play like that. I’m fed up. This joke is not funny anymore and it has really become bloody embarrassing. LLLLLLLLDLLL is embarrassing. It is nearly up there with AEK Athens record of 21 games without a win. It’s nearly up there with Anderlect’s poor run of 18 games without a win.
One thing for sure last night proved it is a psychological defect in the team. Time for sports psychologist to roll up at CP and earn a mint to put right the wrongs and banish the demons in the player’s minds. What damage such an inept performance will do moral and belief is a question that will wait to be answered. But the lack of the right ingredients to make a decent fist of a game last night was frightening.
People are talking aboot how the English cricket team will get up for the next test after a collapse from a match winning position. Well how will the hoops pick themselves from a performance so far off the mark that it was only luck that we didnae get a humping. It’s a result that will make the English meeja ignore us again.
Only Celtic can make a party into wake and give such an apologetic and biscuit arsed performance, which will make euro watcher sit and wonder why we have qualified. It was a performance that lack ingredients of a team, cohesion and fight. It lacked heart and we lacked a physical presence, which meant we were bullied off the park.
The performance lacked all the ingredients that we showed against man u when outplayed we hung in there for grime death. We surprised oor opponents that night with oor resilience and spirit. After last night THAT performance against Man U has to be savoured and remembered by us. Nights like the night against Man U have to be remembered cause when we are bad we are bad.
We gloated after Man U. we celebrated after Man U. last night put us right back in oor cages and gave the whole of Scotland something to laugh at. Yes it was that bad. Another one to put in oor pipe and smoke it along with the roll of shame that is Porto, Bratislava, Rosenberg, Lisboa, Donestk et all. I would go as far to say that last night was worse than Brastislava.
Why? We had a chance to push on from the high of qualifying. We had a chance to go oot give a decent performance and show we deserved to be in the last 16. Instead we gave a performance that was in tune with a wee team that has got lucky by qualifying.
One moment summed up oor performance. Aiden doing a Regi Blinker. You heard his bottle crashing on the moon when he charged through one on one with the goalie. His performance wasn’t much better than that moment but then NO ONE got pass marks.
Bobo proved he is a prize coo at this level, Jaro, poor Jaro scores a goal but gives a performance, which at this moment in time makes me so mad that if he kicks another ball for the hoops it will be too soon. Kenny Miller became Philip Sebo for a night and proved he was no Henrick Larsson.
Who else thought aboot Henrick when Naylor sent over that pinpoint cross at 1-0. How many times have we seen chances like that converted? It summed up oor striking problems at the moment in that we haven’t got one.
GS starting line up has to be question and his press conference afterwards when he stated aboot KNOWING what the problem is was laughable. Let me see. 4 away games under his stewardship 14 goals lost. Average of 3.2 goals per game. Not exactly rocket science is it to work oot the problem.
GS failed to combat the only trick and tactic a poor side had in their locker. Long high balls and set plays. It was skool bhoy stuff. Nothing complicated aboot it all. GS must take his fair share of the blame for last night s debacle.
I don’t mind getting beat. If we get beat from the better team on the night then so be it. THAT’S fitbaw. But what I do mind is a bunch of prima donna’s and charlatans cheating a support. They never turned up last night. Players were posted missing once again. I want to see a bit of effort and pride in the jersey and in you. That was missing. The fans again are left wondering if this team have the ability to jog on in Europe.
It has happened to often for it now not to be a deep lying problem. Lack of quality seems to be the only logical answer. Ma description of the team as bosman’s, journeymen and middle order signings last night done a disservice to the honest professionals everywhere. Harsh I know, but what is more galling as this team has ability. They can and should be doing better.
That’s what makes it so hard to take. I’m not looking for scapegoats, not calling from anyone to be sacked I just want it not to happen again. But the psychological damage of this performance, not result, could have a massive bearing on GS’s team 2.
Well at least we are in the super dooper last 16 and it will be at least March until oor next European jaunt. This will all be water under the bridge by then. But somehow I’m hoping for an English team so we don’t get that much travel sickness.
Stamford Bridge anyone………?
FORZA AND FOREVER THE HOOPS

(I think the top is okay but not on a football field):-)
Not having Sky I haven`t seen most of our away days in Europe this season but I have imagined it all from listening to the gleeful Mr Begg on Radio Scotland. (wonderful, wonderful, WONDERFUL Copenhagen).
I think that every player and system has been questioned so I`m sure that we are not yet good enough to be competing at this level. In defence we lack authority and pace, in midfield again no pace or guile and up front a lack of presence oe threat.
What is GS going to do about it? Can he live with seeing our team ripped apart in every match away from Scotland? Maybe he can but can the support?
On to Dunfermline on Sunday and a vital game with 2 away days in a row coming up. Will McManus miss that one, it seemed an age before he came off from his injury last night.
surely we have better players than Dunfermline and it`s vital to win the game before playing Rangers!
honestly mate i cannot believe u think last nite was worse than bratislava.
at the start of the group if someone had said u will get humped in denmark in the last game but will be through already everyone would have taken it no question and have been over the moon.
wot about man u, where they not beaten away from home by the same poor danish side and benfica couldn't win there either.
the deal as u say was already sealed by beating man utd.
would u rather we had won a game away from home and went out or would u rather we did wot we did and qualified.
i thought everyone was poor last nite but jarosik was arguably the best.
Hi Seven, wise words.
Kevin you`re right, if that spider on Rathlin Island had taken a dozen tries rather than 7 then Robert the Bruce would have chucked it there and then and we`d have been talking with cockney accents.:-/
Maybe Gordon Strachan will convince the board to attempt to improve the squad when the window is swung open.
I actually think we are better off playing the 1st leg at home. At least we won`t be starting at 0-3 when we take our seats in February (good health!)
Most pundits had us competing with Copenhagen for 3rd before the section kicked off but we did it.
Be happy but determined! :-)
i agree we aren't playing well.
we seem to play well in spells in games but haven't had a full 90 mins good performance in ages.
why do u think naka didn't start, he played well when he came on.
i think we miss caldwell more than people thought. hopefully big mick isnt too bad.
i would love to see riordan get a chance.
If we are so lacking in quality (going by comments I`ve read elsewhere) then perhaps we shouldn`t be dismayed if we win nothing this season. However we do have quality and other CL teams have lost heavily too. Milan 0 Lille 2, being a recent example and who would have thought HSV would have bombed like that?
So it`s time to look forward. Remember lubo`s reaction when the final whistle went against Ajax at Celtic Park? We had just lost the game.
Forza Bhoys
Lubo raised his arms in triumph when we first qualified for the CL (at the final whistle v Ajax)so we can do that now that we`ve reached the last 16. Most of the teams lost away in Europe. Not every team won all their home games.
I do think that we could have played more defensively but the groups are now finished and the two legged rounds will be played differently.
As for Dunfermline, we expect it to be tough but hopefully the Bhoys will succeed.
Come on the Bhoys!
We have poor weather forecast for Sunday. Rain and strong winds may affect our style of play.
Forza Celts
i know wot u mean mate but on the beaches in brazil u don't get many gale force winds.
mcmanus is a big miss, hopefully he will be back for ibrox.
anyone fancy hibs at 4/1 tomorrow.
haha you are right regarding fife.
any news on wot stage kennedy is at?
before this season i always thought odea was a full-back and i never realised he was as big. i think it has to be him and bobo on sunday.
i like bobo but for i know wot u mean he has his faults and he will always have them now.
regarding the forwards not scoring enough, when was the last time we didn't have a regular man scoring most weeks in the league.
i hope we don't go with jarosik upfront again at the weekend as it doesn't work.
I think the anger in the team should be channeled into scoring Goals!
Trends in football: are holding midfielders being replaced by the box to box players?
Interesting that Jarosik played the 90 minutes yesterday but I think that he didn`t always complete his passes. It was good to win and stay 16 points ahead and be on 47 points. At the moment we need 45 points, 15 wins to the title. Just looking for another angle on the points lead. :-)
Ian- had a wee rant aboot mental toughness but later on in the week will speak aboot how we have evoled since last season.
Yesterday we played well in spells but Jaro flatters again.
15 wins and counting......
