    His team selection never fails to amaze me. He stubbornely refuses to drop his "favourites", even when they're playing *. Nakamura and Naylor have been underachieving for weeks on end and he persists with them. Going by his body language I think Naylor would thank you if he was dropped. Never have I seen a player who so badly looks like he doesn't want to be there..and as for JVoH, a player with so much experience....the guy is taking the *!

    His subs have always been weird as we all know, but what was he trying to prove by hooking Skippy and then Hinkel. Mark McGhee must have been laughing his * off at how stupid Strachan is. His tactics were laughable and for all the pressure, can anyone honestly say you thought we were gonna get 1 goal never mind 2?

    I wouldn't even bother with an inquest...any fool can see how ordinary we've become under Strachan and even his most die hard of supporters must have been cringing watching that * up!

    Apart from the first 15 minutes we were * *. We had the majority of a second half against ten men and still couldnt score. We were so bad today.

    I couldnt believe Donati and Hesselink started. Nakamura was * pish again.

    League's over, absolute disgrace. A * Rangers team are running away with it. *.

    That has to have been the worst match I have ever seen at Celtic Park. A lot of peeps got up and left at half time and to be honest I don't blame them as it was dire if not gut wrenching to watch. The fans at the end let Strach know in no uncertain terms what they thought of him. If the man had any integrity he would leave.

    I've defended Strachan often but today was the last straw. When I heard him after the match saying that today was just a cameo of our season, we made loads of chances but couldn't take them and then they had one chance and score from it. Well I'm sorry Gordon that is not good enough.

    It is your responsibilty to stop that happening and your inability to make changes when the team is failing is there for all to see.

    Next week the hun fans are going to come to Celtic Park and rip the pish out of us and thanks to you we deserve it. I don't pay over £500 a season for they * to mock me. For the first time in my life I am thinking of staying away from a old firm game.

    I've watched some poor Celtic teams in my life but never have I see one as gutless as this one. I am totally * off and have no confidence in this side whatsoever.

    Mate, I really feel for you. Those of us that are overseas hurt watching how * we are on TV, but guys like yourself who are putting out for a season ticket then watching that crap in the flesh...must be heartbreaking. Makes me glad I'm not at home...I'd barricade myself in the hoose for a week after today's *!

    Exactly. I've never been disgusted with a Celtic team before, but this one makes me sick to my stomach. Going to Celtic park is * depressing under Strachan, I dont know how much longer I can take it.

    The man has to go. I dont give a * if Rangers 'do a devon loch' and gift us the title, like they basically did the last two years - the team is heartless, guilless PISH, unwatchable, heartbreaking.

    OK watched it, he's pish

    go watch it yourself, and see him nearly sell the jerseys by turning on his slow * and passing to a benfica attacker.

    Think it was about 67 minutes in, of course ppl have selective memories

    He lost my support after we let the Scottish Cup slip away against Aberdeen, our best chance of a trophy surrendered to a * Dons team.

    But today was different, for the first time in a long time at the football he made my blood boil with some of his decisions. I'll admit that I booed them off at half time then booed his decision to take off McDonald.

    His choices today bordered on negligence, at best you could blame them on a complete lack of ability or bravery.

    We're a goal down against a team with 10 men in a game we need to win and he replaces a striker with a striker then replaces a midfielder with a midfielder. What exactly has he done there to change the game?....* all. It was obvious to me and to everyone around me that 1 lone Motherwell striker does not require 4 defenders to look after him.

    I've had to wait to post anything because I was so angry after the game I needed to calm down before trying to compose my thoughts on it.

    Shocking. No other word for it.

    Totally agree Doctor absolutely shocking today. Strachan seemingly just will not change from his beloved 4-4-2. Why not take a defender off and put on Samaras and go with 3 strikers or at least an extra attacking center mid and play 3-5-2 with 2 attacking centers.

    Lou Macari for me was the worst period on record in terms of peformances and general enjoyment or lack of it as a fan. WGS is not to far behind him IMO.

    i never shared the feelgood factor that was displayed at the start of this thread.we played alright last week but not that of team that was fighting to retain the championship.this week,win or bust game,we were bollocks.but not as bad as the managerial decisions that were made.ffs donatti,the guy is pish,taking our top scorer off,whit are you playing at,the big dutch diddy hasn't kicked a ball all season,naka,me thinks he would like to be somewhere else.all in all a poor show.HATE to say this but it is time for a change.bye bye gord.davie moyes for me,but would take one * of a deal to get him from everton.if not what about mark mcgee.tight budget,best out of mediocre players,might make the best out of * situation.lets face it mr.strachan has taken us as far as he can take us.thanks for the memories but time is up.
