I object to that too. I'm not taking any part in it, and haven't said a word.





1) He was certainly rubbish today. Can we afford to put him on the field never knowing if he's going to play or not? At the moment I'd say no. Ha she gone as a SL player? I am beginning to wonder.

2) Yes. Not for the first time. But not so bad in the first half.

3) Absolutely, as we keep saying, the amount of ball and territory that we can pi55 away when in the mood to do so is dispiriting.

My hand is up.

I thought it would be a knock on though, so they did surprise me on that score.

Umm Celtic 0 - Saints 4 When were they leading??

Platt didn't make any terrible mistakes today, but his defence was shocking. He needs to be dropped to reserves for a lengthy period. Halley had to come to the rescue several times as everybody else just couldn't be bothered.

I also said to the GF that we'd knock on from the kick off. I wasn't too far wrong. We're are at least consistent at some things..

Halley didn't impress me today. But then noone really did.



Apart from the Worrlord of course.

Is that the same Dave Halley who made the huge boob for Celtic's first try and was continually poorly positioned in the second half.

I didn't think Terry had the best of games today, some of the ball coming out of acting half was too slow, loopy and behind the first receiver slowing down an already slow player. And the penalty he gave away at the end was criminal - wasted time and gave them field position for the last try. Now I like Terry as a player but today was not good for him.



Losing Taduala was a blow as they switched Menzies to cover and as he showed when he scored he's a lot more effective on the right plus Taduala's work rate was missed



I'm not sure what's going on with Langley - he seems to slow everything down. And for a defensive orientated player he seems to miss a lot of tackles or maybe its just they are more noticeable misses?



If Nero comes back we can go back to Jeffries with Sykes/menzies and get back to winning ways soon. Had more fun watching the bull tag - who on here was playing again?

Could add more but got fed up with typing anyway at least there's some good telly on tonight

Trying to look at it from another angle, what did people make of Celtic's performance today? I thought they had the look of a strong mid-table side, not too much class but some big lads and very industrious. They didn't look like obviously the bottom club?

They didn't make many mistakes.

Keep hold of the ball and you have got more chance of scoring apparently.

Maybe we should try it...

Did the basics right, showed up and got the rub of the green

Still bigger than yours though

The half backs were AWOL all game.

Our kicking in general play was abysmal.

Kick offs were too easy for Celtic to handle and had no variety.

Too many player made hundreds of yards sideways and very little ground forwards.

Too many forwards took the ball from a standing start.

Er ........... that's it.



Oh, I did wonder that why should I bother going to the match if the people that get paid to go can't show more enthusiasm. Methinks there is some serious problem off field. Anyone know what it is. PM me if it can't be posted.

I can see we're going to have some fun with this one

Me club am still plenty big Paleface.

Typiocal glory hunting Bulls fans what you neecd to wake up to is apart from the odd game you are not as good as you were, not nice but thats a a fact accept it and deal with it it.



Mcnamara not the best coach but you have players who get a good wage and if some are seen as not trying then simply drop them its not rocket science.



Accept and deal with the fact.

Totally methinks something going on behind the scenes of our club too or maybe its a psychological problem alot of our players went missing today.

I was worried before the game started that we'd have our work cut our if it rained. In bad conditions Celtic are a match for anyone as they proved versus Saints.



Celtic were well disciplined, they had a simple game plan and stuck to it. They took all their chances too. They deserved the win, no doubt about it.



Our lot looked lethargic in the first half, we seemed lost for ideas when we got on their line in the first half and never really sustained any pressure. As a result we struggled for points. We really need to try to be a bit more creative, simply passing along the line or trying to simply drive through a defender isn't going to score us many points - it was rather like watching us early in the season.



In the second half I thought the attacking play improved, we seemed to discover the inside ball option. Trouble was we were let down by poor defending and too many mistakes. Sure the ref was very average but it was the same for both sides. Yet again we were chasing the game and it seemed that once we were a lot more urgency appeared, where was this in the first half??



As time wears on I can see us missing out on the playoffs.

sorry dad

Would it matter if we did?



I'm not totally familiar with the new play off system but I would assume that we would still need to win 3 on the trot to get anywhere near OT.

There's already a thread for taking the pi55 so any trolling on here will be deleted.

We've no chance of getting to OT but finishing in the 8 makes the club a more attractive prospect to sponsors, players, fans etc.



Finishing outside the 8 would represent failure IMO.

I think it's already happened. By the way tremendous skills on show.
