to be honest whether we win or not. I am still fuming at our loss at the weekend. Especially at our manager who is rightly still giving the players a hard time but yet still fails to take a look in the mirror at some of the poor decisions he made on Sunday.
To have a go at Murdo is just a joke. What he said was a 100% right and Lenny knows it. I just wish our press had the balz to ask Lenny why he didnt change things earlier at the weekend but of course they are all scared of him!
Now before some of you have a go I amnot another Ritchie and I am 100% behind the manager, the players and the club but the performance on Sunday was just unacceptable to me and I feel more of the players should have come out and said so. I know Ledley did and good on him but the likes of Samaras, who was always quick in the past do run to the press, were very quiet.
Anyway tonights game. Not that its going to happen but I would bring Stokes back from the start and drop Lassad. He showed more appetite in the 10 mins he was on than Lassad did the whole time he was on. Either that or Watt up front with Hooper. Id also drop Sammy who needs a break for his own good and play Commons from the start. Id kick Brown up the backside and remind him he is the captain of the team and cant be posted missing. Wanyama also needs a swift kick to remind him he aint at Man Utd yet! Mulgrew had a shocker and should be dropped but due to Ambrose being away he wont. I would play the new guy, Greshon is it? and lets see what he can do. I would also play the new Aussie guy but not sure if hes available yet.
Of course none of these changes will happen because they never do. I predicted we would lose on Sunday and I was right. I predict we will win quite comfortably tonight because the players will want to prove a point. I predict another 4 goals and then the players will be quite chuffed with themselves and last weekend will all be forgotten right?
Tonight? Don't really care......

"This should have been an easy treble with no Rangers around"
Rangers are around are there are no easy trebles
You think we can go the season winning every game just cos we have a superior squad?? it doesnt work like that ...im not sure there has ever been a team in all of history to do such .
Ah so what you are saying is with hindsight we should have changed tactics well done you
As far as im concerened we had two main goals this season...to win the league and to get into the champions league through the qualifiers ...we are winning the league and we have surpassed any expectation i had with regards Euro progress
Yes losing at the weekend wasnt nice but the reaction to it has been nothing short of a disgrace !! what an over reaction to a one off game !!
All of a sudden the manager is clueless and certain players are duds ???
get a life ....
Youre the dud and its you thats clueless

If the OP doesn't care if we win tonight or not then he's not fit to call himself a Celtic supporter.
Lenny made mistakes, the players made mistakes but come on guys. Brown should be stripped of the captaincy? Garbage.
I'm looking forward to tonights game and the rest of the season. If we go on to win the double and perform well against Juventus most of you guys will be on here showering praise on Lennon, Brown, Samaras, Mulgrew etc.

Wow Tornado you are the dud my friend! First of all check my post on Sunday am. I predicted we would lose because the players wouldnt show up. Secondly, go on the link for the game posted on here on Sunday and look at my post at half time. I said things werent working, Lassad needs to come off and we need to change to a 442. That is not hindsight you fool!!!!! Oh and btw many people that day agreed with me.
Irvine. I am Celtic through and through and I already said that in my post. I am just still hurting about Sunday. Perhaps it was because I knew it would haooen......not hindsight Tornado!!!!!........and I feel let down by the players and the manager. As I said, I aint no Ritchie.

CT...Having a pop at Murdo is not fair..considering 99% of the time murdo bigs up Lenny and the team. He has to learn to take the rough with the smooth

And btw Irvine I love Brown, Sammy and Mulgrew but just said they needed a mental break after the weekend.

Listen mate I don't want to get into an argument with you but I really can't stand people saying they don't care if we win tonight. You are either a Celtic supporter or not, you don't pick and choose when to support them.
I've always taken the view that they need our support most after a setback.

charlies ....Its nothing to do with what he has wrote previously
He said losing a treble was just careless like it happens so easily unless there is an oversight
So in that regard Murdo is wrong !! And there are loads of stats to prove that he is wrong!! Murdo should know better.
Oh so you predicted the doom and gloom on Sunday ....without knowing Lennons team , his formation or indeed St mirrens .
CWPOTY remarkable
what was your prediction pre Barca game??
posted on 30/1/13
Tornado, thems the facts sir
I predicted we would win at home to Barca btw so girfuy!
Irvine, thats fine mate good for you. You were probably one of these people that thought during the Mowbary era that it was ok to los3 and to continue supporting the ream......take it on the chin etc. Well done indeed.

Celtic were Careless and showed St Mirren a lack of respect on Sunday.
He's on twitter again saying to a fan he'll quit if they are not happy..that sour grapes on his part
