    The players are pathetic man.

    Just got papped oot the cup from a championship mob and they serve up another pish performance by the sounds of it.

    I was expecting a big reaction today, shocking.

    That's just it though, he isn't a lone striker, not naturally at least. He's done a * of a job this season in improvising as one, * it's fair to say we wouldn't have won the league without him imo, but he needs support.

    The fact he's managed to bag almost 40 goals this season, playing as an isolated man up front with a completely lifeless midfield is actually remarkable.

    I don't think i can every remember a team so not * bothered...talk about not wanting to get over the finishing line.
    I hope to * our next manager is watching and taking notes....this side needs ripping apart and replacing with players with balls and fight.
    That team today has about 7 players needing replaced.

    Regarding Roberts cutting in all the time, has it ever occurred to management to play the guy in his natural position or is that too forward thinking.

    One of the worst, most tedious campaigns ever.

    Honestly wouldn't surprise me if we * up against Hearts and the sheep in the next two weeks. Bunch of disinterested, bottling *.

    He's a professional footballer player. His ball control for a player at this level is * woeful.

    He might not be a lone striker but that doesn't mean he shouldn't be capable of picking out simple passes or controlling the ball.

    He does get played in his natural position.

    Have people never watched players like Arjen Robben? The majority of top wingers these days cut inside onto their stronger foot.

    Ronnie should have known after a few games that he did not have the right players to implement the brand he wanted. Didn't work in SPL didn't work in Europe. Surely a good manager then would replan his ideas to get the best out of what he had. Two lines of defence in league games blew his plans immediately. So for me as much a nice guy Ron is, he was completely brutal as manager. One up front is what he'll be remembered for. Shame for all parties really. And I do believe we have some talented young guys. We just need a motivator and someone with a plan B.

    I can see why you would play a left-footed winger on the right, but it does not work when you are playing teams who put 10 men behind the ball and play narrow. Surely you want to stretch them and that means overloading on their flanks?

    ...and their you have it. The team are gonna blow Ross County out the water.
    "We're doing this for Ronny." Aye right.

    Possession wise Ronny can say what he likes, but the entertainment value is not there at all. It's a * state of affairs when watching Celtic is a complete waste of an hour and a half.

    That's the problem, defenders know he's never going on the outside

    Thanks for the reply! Sooner the better we get across the line and prepare for next years Euro Qualifers, does it not depend on goal difference as well so a win next week should do it!?

    That's his fault though, not Ronny's.

    If he got shifted onto the left wing he'd always go down the outside because he's so one footed. He needs to work on his right foot.

    Of course, it's the right thing to do and all that seen as he's a pure nice guy.

    Anyone know if the Dalai Lama fancies a 4 year sabbatical away from the Monastery?

    Honestly don't see us winning another game this season at this rate. The players have the end of season awards tonight too, shower of * that they are.

    Our board room should be the first place to see a shake up. Starting with those couple of Tory *. Disgraceful. Who brought these * in? Did they make a wrong turn going to Ibrox?

    maybe

    but our goal difference is far superior to aberdeen

    so likely if we win next week that will be that, officially too if aberdeen drop points which i think they will
