    Always the same. Why do we stop pressing when we go a few goals up ?

    Goal difference may count at the end of the season.

    Anyway, fans pay to see the whole game. not 30 or 40 mins.

    Complacency still exists.

    We could have been sitting as league leaders right now instead of the huns.

    Disappointed.:54:

    Don't agree.

    The league will make us more cash next season.

    Tuesdays game is why we took the foot off the gas and thats all the explanation needed. We won convincingly still so who cares.

    Ha. Mate, it's not all about cash. Anyway, we had sure win and lads didn't want to risk any injuries for Arsenal game. We are all aware of our chances on Tuesday night and we must count that Europa league is a possibility and that it may be less cash in the bank at the end of this season than last seasons when we had CL groups guaranteed. But we must give our best, injury free.

    Sorry pal,

    Tell Lawell it's not about cash.

    Tell the player who might have come if the wages were right.

    The league is important as we go straight into CL like the huns. Loadsamoney.

    we better play 100% against the huns and take 12 points off them. far more important than today's 2nd half.

    understand your point, and agree, but theres no point in risking the players fitness for the next game.

    if the champions league game was 1-2 weeks away, then im all for going 200% the full game instead of 50 odd mins. hopefully it will be a goal-fest this season though! you cant argue that 3-1 is a good result. it should of been 3-0, but 3 goals in a game is good for celtic, considering half the games last season were last minute 1-0's ..

    simple,because the hard work is done.we start the game to get ahead quickly ,the boss tells the players what he wants,when the players do what the manager wants and get ahead .then the feet come off the gas untill we find ourselfs underpressure and pick it up again,or change it with a sub or 2

    Why do some fans always like to complain even when we play well and win?

    We took the foot of the gas because I'd imagine the players minds started to wander to Tuesday's game.

    The game was won in the first half, of course it would be great to see the first half performance for the whole 90 mins but there are a lot of games in a season.

    The players wouldn't have wanted to pick up a strain or injury by over doing it when the game was already won.

    Tim,

    We did not "pick it up again".

    You know that is a difficult thing to do.

    by the way I'm sure last season we would have been 1-0 up at half time and it would have ended 1-1.

    More money in the league? If you haven't noticed, Setanta isn't supplying SPL with bags of cash anymore. Shity contract has been signed, so no much is in the game from TV rights. SPL is poor, we won't make much money there. CL is another story. There you can receive loads of cash by playing much less matches, but having proper competition. Europa league will be good for us, I think we'll be successful if we enter there, hence more cash in the club.

    'Cos the huns done the same and won by 1 more goal putting them at the top of the league ?????????????????????????

    Psychological advantage. It would have been nice to have met Arsenal as league leaders ?
