Why do you think some of our Celtic supporters are not happy at Celtics fightback today?

The manager bought these guys, then selected them for the starting line up.
Your career hangs on your decisions.
He has to walk.
But I see what you're saying. I wouldn't mind seeing the back of a fair few of them. Big Dan, Forster (Zaluska is better), Bangura (£2.2million, I could cry at that), Hooper, Ki and Kayal all fall into that.
Some of them have the ability, but they have been spitting on the fans support for weeks and they deserve some time sitting in the stands.

I've got a real problem with players with bad attitudes.
The Gers have had probs in the past - it looks like some discord behind the scenes for you guys now....
The ingrates still pick up their wages though...

Results are one thing but performances cannot be ignored. Killie were the better team by some distance for 84 minutes of today's game.
Without doubt a good comeback but Stokes bailed you out almost single handed.
Kayal should have been sent off before he was subbed.
In the end even tho killie were knackered and Celtic had got it back to 3-3 still missed an absolute sitter.
There are few positives to be had in Celtic doing well for a 6 minute spell after being 3 goals down.

Pie,
Couldn't agree more.
One of the reasons big Marvin Andrew is a cult hero at Ibrox is cos no matter what he looked like he would run through a brick wall for us.
Some of these players need to appreciate what they've got in life...

It's not just a player attitude thing. It's more a problem with society these days.
You would never have seen players 30 years ago (im only 25 btw) not giving 100%.
But then 30 years ago our street weren't swamped with junkies, tramps and neds.
Football players acting like Celtic players did today is unacceptable for fans, but in todays society it is.
I play the game, at Saturday morning amatuers. Not a great level, but if I went out and gave 99% and not 100% my manager, and my team mates, would tell me so. And I'd probably be dropped. Then, I'd spend Saturday night getting it tight from my dad about no matter what level or circumstance you always give 100%.
For professionals to go out and intentionally under perform is unforgivable. But they just seem to get away with it these days.

The fightback today showed us that we still have some players that actually care (ie, Stokes) but anything less than a win today was never acceptable. Lenny has lost many of those players in that dressing room which will cost him his job, but what if the likes of Kayal and Commons don't like the next manager? Whether we stick with Lenny or bring a new manager in we will have to offload at least half the players in that squad if we are going to improve.

From the radio it seemed Forrests attitude was head and shoulders above the rest.
Cause for some optimism?

I listen to TalkSport quite a bit. And they were discussing Carlos Tevez.
This is something that makes my blood boil, this topic.
He refused to go on the pitch!
The FA should get right behind Man City and they should fine him the entire wage for the rest of his contract. If that amounts to £30million, then that's what the greddy little cretin gets.
I would LOVE to have had the abiltiy and fortune to have made it in football. But I wasn't that lucky or good enough. These guys that are adored by millions should be more appreciative.
The same thing is happening with Rugby Union since it was professionalised and players are earning 10 times what the fans are.
All this aside, Celtic are still a complete joke just now and Lennon still needs to walk.

Probably cause he came through the ranks, and is scottish. He knows the club, he knows the fans, he knows what it means.
He plays football cause he loves it, not cause he wants to be rich and famous.
It's a shame we don't have more like him. Stokes, Forrest, Ledley and Matthews should be the only ones to escape too much abuse for today (or for the season so far)
The rest of the players owe us, the fans, BIG time.
Even if we get a new manager, I will not simply forgive the players for giving less than 100%. They can only try and repay us.

Tevez is a disgrace.
Most of us would lose a body part to play for our team - I just don't understand these guys...
