    We have been woeful for a long time bar a few games, lennon doesnt seem to recognize this and blames others when he should be looking at the team, he doesnt have a clue about what cbs to use either, its a joke how we can be so bad at the back at times yet he fails to sort it out, going forward we lack pace most of the time, and when we dont know what to do we start hoofing, not good enough

    I disagree with the first highlighted part. I agree with the second.

    I would like to hear Lennon explain why our defence is so rotten, and why we managed one shot on target in the first 60 minutes of the game. Why wasnt Wanyama starting and why didnt he change things quicker? But all we will get it how the referee made a bad decision, ignoring the fact our goal shouldnt have stood either.

    I think it all comes down to inexperience, on and off the park really. Neil Lennon will learn from his mistakes, he will know what he needs to do next season to ensure we toughen up and deliver in the big games. Also the players will learn from these defeats and hopefully use them to spur them on in big games next season.

    We are a * side, simple. Anyone who thinks we can compete in the champions league are crazy. We need to seriously invest into our team in the summer.

    Really? I tend to think when you have a Hun * in charge determined to see you don't win it becomes a game changer.

    Why did Wanyama not start? Because he's been out for 2 (or was it 3?) games and the team has done well in his absence. Maybe it was the wrong decision but you can understand Lennon not throwing Wanyama straight back in again.

    Why was our defence *? Well, they only conceded one legitimate goal so no that * but 3 of our 4 first choice defenders were injured - is that Lennon's fault?

    We scored a goal that was offside. That was just as big a game changer as the hearts penalty. We had 85 minutes to win the game before these two decisions and we didnt.

    Nonsense. * sides don't win titles and go on 26 game domestic unbeaten runs, whilst competing with the likes of Udinese in Europe.

    It didn't look like a bottle job to me today. Against Killie I thought a lot of players looked nervous and had a lot of bad touches etc so that looked they bottled it but when I saw the team today I thought they might struggle to score just because it was hard to see who would open them up.

    We struggled to score against Hearts at Parkhead earlier in the season and didn't score against them the first time at Tynecastle. We often struggle to break teams down, especially them. It's not bottle every time, I think it's more to do with them knowing how to set up against us.

    I'd rather be a bottler than a hun.

    I don't however think we can use the 'young team' bullshit. They're Celtic players, they don't have an excuse. Lennon is not to blame either; we have the squad to beat anyone, we've proved that, it isn't Lennon's fault when Ledley went missing and Ki was taking an hour to get to the ball. He can't baby the players, even if they are all quite young.

    Fuuucckkiking raaaaging!

    Treble on? * by Killie. Make History at Ibrox against a team on their knees and in administration? *.

    Ok, ill settle for the double then, players just need to play the way they can, and did last week, * again!

    Fed up of this hun refs fault all the time pish. If players had scored chances today, like they * should have, then we would have been through quite easily. Lennon running over and losing the plot AGAIN with the officials... give us a break man. Did he think they would suddenly change their minds? Of course not, he is now in even more * bother.

    Oh yeah, but we will do ok and go onto win the Champions league?

    * me.

    Hyperbole if i ever saw it, don't think anyone is saying we should never concede, always win our games, but the lack of fight and desire to get the treble this season has somewhat tarred it.

    We knew in february we had won the league, the rest of the season was then to get the treble and the players have failed in that regard.
