    That's bang out of order. A very poor statement to make.

    How are they more deserving. We are better at football than them, therefore we deserve to win the league. In every position our player is far supirior than there's. We should win the league. We have been top of the table for 90% of the season. Tell me how we don't deserve to win?

    we weren't a long ball team. having big players doesn't make it that. there's a diference with direct football and long ball.

    long ball is just lumping it. watch over our old games and you'll see that we played a lot of football from the wings.

    i'm not fussed on the passing game when it's not done right. barca do it but you see an awful lot of shots in their games.

    man u are direct, and i'd rather watch them any day than arsenal.

    when the passing game's done right it's great, but if not it's * awful.

    You think you know your own opinion more than me then you try and tell me I'm in denial :56:

    Your anger is clouding your judgement mate, like I say next Sunday afternoon is the time to be * off or not. Not now.

    Well said Benito - this board have lied to us all for years. The spin has been incredible and as for the "manager" - he's both disrespectful and patronising. The post match interview today was just unbelievable - showed how much he REALLY cared about the club. We have suffered enough under this imposter - sack him now!!!

    Yes people like you.

    You know fine well many people have been highly critical of certain aspects of the club for a long time now - so when you say "where were these threads when we were 7 points clear" suggests that everyone thought that everything in the garden was rosy and that any negative reaction today is based on one game.

    That's wrong and you know it.

    i'm not getting at the scouting network, never have as i don't know much about it.

    my biggest complaints are with the board and GS's post match comments.

    because we should be doing better.

    rangers are doing better than they should so are more deserving of it.

    the only time the table counts is after the final match. the other 90% means * all.

    I saw that period slightly differently tbh. We scored a huge percentage of our goals from corners and free-kicks. I didn't mind as long as we were winnig but a most of our games were brutal to watch. What can you do though? We had better players then. We had guys that could muscle their way past defenders. But the cost of buying these types of players is out of our reach now.

    I think we have to realise that watching scottish football is depressingly bad. Very little technique, every team comes to parkhead with their team set out to defend. Comparing us to the EPL teams just doesn't bare thinking about.

    I think the line under you're profile name says it all, your love of the ginger one clouds your judgement, and to say that everyone has been happy up until now is a complete lie and is typical of wgs looneys who think the sun shines out of his and the boards *, if lawell told you pigs could fly you'd probaly believe him

    i'm comparing using context. we are of the same standing in this league as manu are in england.

    well i'd say you're in a very little minority with you're opinion on or so-called attractive play.

    as for big players and muscle, what is steven gerard, frank lampard, wayne rooney, michael essien, didier drogba, most of the liverpool side????????????

    This thread is a reaction to drawing with Hibs. Fact.

    I do apologise, my green tinted specs must have skewed the thread title.

    The line under my name was a wee in joke.

    Everyone may not have been happy but they weren't quick to voice their opinion when results were fine and we were top of the league.

    Am I a wgs looney now? That's a new one :56:

    of course it is, just like many before.

    the odd result would not bother us as much, but this is so * often.

    i would come on and complain more but then you get shot down because we've won or are top.

    for the first of our 3 titles i wasn't overly impressed with our football and how our high earners (i should be calling them great players instead) were treated.

    we have just got worse and worse since then and i can't * stand it.

    The scouting network are the ones who are supposed to unearth the unknown players, and they havent found one thats gone into the first team since Strachan has been here.

    Can say what you want about this being reaction to the Hibs game, but whats wrong with that. Its the second last game of the season and nothing less than a MUST win, and we couldnt win it. There was no urgency, no backbone about the team. The players arent blameless but in football the buck stops with the manager in regards to performances. If we showed a bit of the football we all know the team can play then the title would still be in our own hands. As it happens we have handed both the league title and £10 million to Rangers. To me thats unacceptable, your opinion is clearly different.

    Post in a thread relevant to the opinion you're trying to voice then?

    We've handed the title to no one, this isn't over by a long shot and the fact there's folk throwing in the towel and slating everyone they possibly can is a sad indication of the state of the support Celtic has these days.
