    On reflection, I don't think anyone can dispute the fact that we have lost more than we've won in terms of winner takes all games in the last two years. Two cup final losses out of three tells you that. But that is purely lack of experience, the team is only 23 on average mind. The bottom line is you only get three points for winning a league game not 21, whether its against the champions elect or Dunfermline. They know this, and they will feel it when broony lifts that league trophy in a week or so. Hud that ya orc *.

    Braga, Utrecht, Rangers at hampden, Inverness, Sion away, Udinese, Killie at hampden and Rangers.

    The only game we have got over the in was Motherwell at the end of last season.

    That's our 9 biggest games under Lenny? We have won one... You do the Maths.

    I said earlier questions have to be asked but all of the facts have to be put out there in fairness. Ludicrous to say we've won just one big game under Lenny, ludicrous.

    * right, how stupid a statement is that, team does bottle it sometimes yes that is my opinion but to be this far ahead in a league title (even bar the point reduction) is something in itself, at the end of the day some people on here need to get a grip AND yes some Celtic players need to get a grip....and if we all get a grip of each other at the same time it will look like a massive * huddle So C'mon people!!!!!!! Get a grip!!!

    This season we've done wonderfully well to get into the position that we were in in terms of going for the treble and that should not be underestimated, but it's gutting when you get so close to achieving something special and the team is found wanting in these final games that could make it happen.

    Last week was a gut-wrencher and in many ways I wanted to win more last week than I did today because the league was already won whether we won today or not, and at that time we didn't know whether we were going to Ibrox with the chance to officially wrap up the league, but we didn't win last week so that was that. When the result came in yesterday from the Killie game I was buzzing at the thought of us going there and winning the title - to create a bit of history, but yet again we've been let down.

    We've got ourselves into the position of doing something special in the last two seasons, but we've failed to deliver when it really mattered in both seasons. Should we be happy with just getting ourselves into these positions or should we be critical for falling at the last hurdle?

    We will win the league this season unlike last season so we've achieved our main objective for the season, but this season like last season could've delivered so much more and I can't help but feel a bit disappointed at the way it's all turning out.

    Maybe it's just a case of special achievements should be reserved for special teams and I think it's fair to say while this being a very decent, young team, this is not a vintage Celtic team.

    Tell me another one then which would have resulted in massive financial gain or a trophy.

    We lack experience, we need to buy experience and quality in the summer.

    Is that what we're basing it on then? Gold and silver?

    Every game against the huns is a big one. His record against that lot is decent.

    Take your pick from the many important games during our winning run, if we'd dropped points in any of those games then we were potentially staring down the barrel.

    Eh, next weeks? Or the week after? Or the week after that.

    You see, when you get yourself into a great position such as ours you can afford the odd slip up.

    Why are we ALWAYS sluggish and off in the big games?

    Why is it?

    The Cup Semi against Ross County when it was the only game that actually meant something that year?

    The Crunch knock-out European games against Braga, Utrecht & Sion?

    The Cup Final last year against them where we were heavy favourites?

    The game against Inverness last year were we BLEW it. Forget the games after it, the league was handed to them that day.

    The Cup Final against Killie last week. 8 to 1 favourites. Killie - a side that isnt good enough to make the Top 6, couldnt beat them. Don't dare tell me that they should ever be taken a trophy of us if our application is anything near 100%. Absolute disgrace

    And today, could have won the league at their place for the first time in 40 odd years and we BLOW it. No excuses for a poor and off performance on these days.

    Dont get me wrong i like Lenny but he has to change his approach. As is rumoured maybe the soft approach to the players and being all nice nice to them isn't working. Maybe its the players themselves? Maybe they freeze on the big occasion? Maybe they think they're better than they actually are and can play in 2nd gear to be safe because they're soft as *? Who knows?

    Whatever it is , it has to change before the CL Qualifiers next year or we will be right royally * out of it again. You heard it here first.

    This is the most depressing league title win ever, bar none.

    Personally, I don't see us qualifying. FC Timbuktu will embarrass us and that will be that.

    Why?

    Because we've had a dip in form all of a sudden we aren't a good team any more?

    what the * is wrong with people today?
