    That keepy uppy at the drop ball then blootering it down field was the best GIRUY I've seen for a long time! Couldn't have done it to a nicer bunch!

    Those Jambo arseholes were fuming! :smiley-laughing002: :smiley-laughing002: :smiley-laughing002:

    Actually thought he was decent tonight, except for that blunder he made early on. * was he thinking?

    Great ball for Lassad tonight but he was still looking a bit off the pace for a lot of them game. That says a lot about him though when even he has a poor game, he still has a major influence

    Just watched the replay of the game there. I genuinely do not see what everyone see's in this guy.

    Hopefully I am not shot down and people understand my opinion and view, but I can really see why we got him for so little and no one has ever snapped him up. He averages one good game in 4 or 5 in my opinion.

    He looks overweight again too. No doubt there is talent there but he just seems a bit cocky. I guess he is one of those players I will never warm too.

    Needs dropped for Lassad I think, and push Watt up front with Hooper.

    Fantastic cross for Lassad's goal, but apart from that, he was pretty awful. His passing was poor and he should have buried the chance he got at 0-0. The only other thing of note was the keepie-uppies moment, found that rather hilarious I must say. Just because it was against that mob.

    I more or less agree. I like Kris, but he's not much more equipped to play for Celtic than say McCourt. He's just had a greater amount of luck. Neil's gave him the chance, and he's seized it. I'm happy, but I think we could do better. I called for a new winger and/or a playmaker in the last window, and I'll be hoping for the same in the next.

    I have always been a bit undecided about him is capable of great football but also gives the ball away far to often and is very greedy.I think if we can get a decent offer in the summer we should take it.

    Until Hooper scored you hardly noticed he was playing he's another who is'nt doing enough.

    You watched 1 game and came up with that opinion? :56:

    If he is good 1 game and bad for 4 or 5 the season we signed him he must have scored 5 goals in every good game because he scored 30 in 1 season....from midfield.

    An on form and fully fit Commons is a quality player.

    Second too assister and scorer, from a winger. He createdthe first goal and didn't get the reaks last night or else he would have had a couple.

    Don't see what people don't see in him.

    Spot on hammer.
    Commons might have been off the boil recently, but his start to this season was nothing short of amazing. He might be in a bit of a slump but he'll come good again and if anyone can get him back to what he does best is Neil Lennon.
    Could do with a break this weekend and that might freshen him up for the spartak game. Remember, he was injured a couple of weeks ago too and basically played in every game since he came back. Needs a wee rest

    True, but he rarely looks fully fit.

    He is greedy, arrogant on the ball and thinks he is better than he is. He also clearly struggles with his weight.

    Like I said above, there is a reason he was playing where he was for all those years. He go's through spurts of form, he was * pish most of last season, and was good for a few games this season, and again. looks overweight and pish.

    I formed this opinion from loads of games, but in general last night I noticed it the most. Other than his cross, he was dreadful.

    I would like to see him have a long run of form, because i agree, he can be good on his day. Just his days seem to come in short bursts but with long periods of mediocrity inbetween!

    He has been very poor the last few games.

    He did get an assist last night but didn't do much else but hit a powder puff shot set up by Hooper, and a few wishful strikes from outside the box (when he should have passed) that went high and wide. He also doesn't look fit, don't know if it's a weight problem or what but he looks quite stiff on the ball sometimes.

    I know he has potential but consistency is essential in the SPL so if he is not going to turn up in the half the games he plays then he isn't the player for us.

    I have to say that for as much good he does he does the same in bad passes.
    He seems to make stupid passes and gives the ball away reminds me of sammy at some points goes on a good run and either goes too far or makes a stupid pass but then out of nowhere can produce a great goal:31:

    I couldn't possibly disagree more.

    Then you are a Ki happy clapper, a guy that created and scored very little. Give me proper tangible substance over 50 yard Hollywood passes and 2 40 range efforts a season every day of the week.
