    This is the type of typical pish you read when a small team that some expected to be hammered do a bit better. They were nowhere * near better than us in any area of the park, never mind every.

    I was at the game today and County absoluted dominated Celtic, alot of the County fans were let down with a draw and I feel that was a fair point. Celtic were missing a cutting edge they desperately needed a striker to get on the end of things and put the ball away. A few times Emilio whipped a decent ball into the box yet no one was there to meet it, Samaras is not an out and out striker and that is obvious we missed Hooper and Stokes alot today. Lustig was very poor and got targeted alot down his wing he does not look Celtic class, I thought Kayal was ok today he drifted in and out of play today but looked impressive at times. The formation was not working and I thought it took Lennon a bit too long to change it but fair play i will give him his due he took Watt on and changed and then we started to press alot more. All in all a hard point against a very solid County side they are hard to break down and they proved that last year in Div1.

    Thats absolute nonsense, Countys defence made Celtic look mediocre. They were absolutely solid today and made Celtic look poor. Take your tainted glasses off

    I agree with most of that, however we weren't dominated

    Celtic had far more shots, far more shots on goal, far more corners (Ross County had one/Celtic had 9) and more possession. I don't understand how Celtic were 'dominated' by Ross County today?

    'Tainted glasses'? :56:

    And we weren't dominated by any stretch of the imagination.

    I only really thought Celtic started pressing in the last 20 minutes before that County were quite comfortable and retained possesion well. Too often we would panic and punt the ball long rather than retain and work the ball forward

    The last couple of posts before I posted:56:

    A bad result....could have been worse...could have been beaten so I'll call this a wee hiccup....teething problems......Ross County aren't mugs, they are a good wee team and although we should be beating them....today was like a cup tie for them, they'd be right up for it and that obviously showed today...

    I am a Celtic fan yet I can admit when we are poor and are outplayed, many other Celtic fans cannot.

    Don't read the last 30 pages then, you would think we got beat and then Lenny and the Bhoys grabbed their AK's and slaughtered the whole County support :56:

    Ross County played very well but that doesn't mean they dominated us. Just look at the stats.

    I think Celtic were very poor today, and by all accounts Ross County played at the top of their game. But bearing in mind the match stats, I don't understand how you can conclude Celtic were 'dominated' or 'outplayed'?

    I think we were outplayed in the sense that the contained us and limited us in terms of chances. We didn't play well, stuggled to keep possession.

    Although I do agree that saying we were dominated is a bit far.
