    If we're all being honest, this is the truth. Hearts were the only team that looked like winning that match before penalties. It was disgraceful.

    Are some people just so in love with Lennon that they fail to see how much an inept manager he is. Deila or anyone else for that matter would be gone months ago.

    You epitomise the word of "spoiled"

    Think it’s beyond any doubt the guy isn’t up to the job as Celtic manager, 1 thing I will say and I hold my hand up if he hadn’t played Turnbull id have been raging but he did play him and the guys proved he will be a good player but he was as * as anyone in the final, because I want soro n Turnbull to be the answer I’m not gonna kid myself on and ignore the fact he had a terrible game against as everyone keeps saying a championship side

    The cup final win has given him a bit of leeway. Yes we all loved doing the quadruple and yes we have won our last three games and this, perhaps, has led to many fans thinking that we have finally turned that corner they were all going on about. Unfortunately this is not the case. We struggled to beat hearts, a championship team, and our Achilles heel (our defence) was, once again, laid bare for all to see. He also, once again, failed to make substitutions when needed and played Brown till he was clearly beginning to tire. So, for me, I loved him as the player who gave his heart and soul for the club. He had to suffer both physical and verbal sectarian abuse for simply being a Celtic player and manager and we should never forget that however, he isn't a good manager and is tactically naïve and that's why we now need a new manager.

    You've just shown exactly why he said you are accepting mediocrity. Anyone who thinks people expecting to beat a Championship team are spoiled isn't worth listening to or taking seriously.

    Expecting a club with our riches and talent to win the vast, vast majority of our domestic matches isn't spoiled. It should be a given.

    Spoiled. Weve lost 1 cup in 13. 1. We haven't lost the league, haven't lost the other cup. Yet the toys are thrown out the pram. Back the team, no change will be made until summer.

    Delia was behind aberdeen at this stage of the season and never had riots. So no he would not have been gone months ago. He got to win the league and bow out. Lennon doesnt seem to get this time.

    At least Strachan had the excuse that Oldco spent similar similar level money to us in transfer fees & wages back then (and as we've also now learned they were tax cheats who had players they shouldn't/wouldn't have had), Lenny has no such excuse given our transfer fees & wage bill well eclipses theirs, plus Lenny has lost the last two at home, * shocking manager we have in charge.

    Typed up a big reply there but it's pointless. Brain damage reading your posts, regardless of the thread.

    It's like paying £300 for a steak and you're happy by getting a tough bite of meat. I expect a top class steak, precisly as done as I asked it to be.
    You call it spoiled, I call it reasonable expectations.

    I'm sick of those thick supporters who think they can decided who's a good supporter and who's not. What are they ? * *? Get a frip ya *! Celtic supporters get angry because thex * care for their club. And I have no right to claim some fans to be real supporters and others not! Even a * like honda I acknowledge that he's a real fan even though he's annoying as * with his happy clappy attitude and thinking that only he and his cohort are the super duper fans because they are happy with literally being served * every game for over 2 months.

    No chance mate, Christie doesn't have the same level of first touch, control, skill, awareness, technique, hold/link up play, composure, passing ability as Rogic in the 10 role behind the strikers.

    Success breeds expectation, when expectation is fulfilled on a regular basis it turns to demands that nothing less than the best will do. Honda does have a point, we are victims of our own success, we have been Spoiled, its an unprecedented period of dominance that we are lucky to be the ones to witness it. However its not the case that standards have gradually dropped as is the norm, nothing lasts forever, but we've went from a relentless winning machine to the worst Celtic side in the last 20 years. Speaking out against that isn't acting spoiled, we can clearly see where the problem lies, it's the manager and his tactics, team selection and by the looks of it since our players looked * after 60 mins the fitness program. It needs to change and if we have to be called spoiled to achieve that then so be it.
