    Said the other day we should be using the Tierney money to bring in a left back and a goalkeeper.

    Bain was absolutely shocking. Had he ball in both hands and drops it for he corner which lead to the penalty. Then pushes it straight to Cluj player for the winner as well. Get a * top keeper in, one that can be trusted in the big games in Europe.

    Going forward we are very good, defensively we are an absolute disgrace. Sign a £7m player who still isn't up to speed and isn't playing in these important games. Sign a left back who can't be trusted so we have to shoehorn an influential midfielder to play there.

    Couldn't care less if we qualify for the Europa League. Just be more games to get turned over by some no marks.

    Shambles.

    Once again this result just shows how BAD Scottish football is. Why do we never learn every year and not have certain players in. Whoever paid 10 million for Julien and Bolingoli needs to be looked at. They must be average if NL doesn't trust them. That defending was shocking. We can blame the manager for the tactics but the players have to look at themselves as well.

    Absolutely terrible.

    Brainless from Brown for the penalty, Bain should do better for their third and then we're hit by a sucker punch. Second half was a bit better but it was mostly playing off long balls to Edouard and generally making things a bit more frantic - not an awful lot of thought behind it.

    At 2-1 we should have dropped the pace of the game and got control of things. We didn't and they equalised. We should have learned our lesson when it went 3-2. We didn't, they equalised again and went on to win.

    Not good enough off the pitch, not good enough on it.

    Brown should be getting dropped, no excuse for that

    The tactics at the end of launching the ball into their box was amateurish at best

    Sickening, just sickening. Words cannot express the disappointment. I didn’t think Lennon was the best choice but got us scoring well in the league. Thought he may just get us going.

    Then tonight, the most baffling formation, completely * it. Scott Brown, what the actual *.
    Lewis Morgan on, what the actual *.

    Finally, the board, failed us again to support in getting us to the group stages.

    The only positive from this is we won’t suffer the embarrassment of getting horsed in the groups with that awful decision making from the top down.

    I feel for the fans and I feel for blood and guts players like Christie and Ajer and the ever reliable James Forrest.

    Cluj, * Cluj!

    That was embarassing. Tactics and team selection down to NL. Not a good start.

    That's the tierney money spent already now we didn't qualify. Also we will attract a lower caliber of player when we cant offer CL football. The season looks grim already.

    Way too many here are confident 10iar is guaranteed. Our low budget yes man manager and board will * this.

    How long does this learning curve last as far as getting into C.L. Team did the damage to themselves giving away goals far too easily don't know what was going through Brown's head with the handball guy at the back unmarked to score the 3rd. Another incredibly disappointing night compounded by the fact that £10million spent on 2 defenders that didn't play. There is a lot of work to be done in getting the Team to keep a shape when they are defending

    Well there is the excuse for not spending the KT money, as if they ever were going to.

    Now the board can justify not spending big on new players since we won't be in the Champions League anyway. Excellent.

    I said it last season and I'll say it again, we seem to be the only team that goes into the qualifiers and never strengthen. Every other team can do it but us!!! Lawwell needs removing now!!!! * ripping us to pieces and lining his pockets from it

    If that was
    if that was bolingboli we’d be saying
    Always complain including myself why we have to play 4 qualifying ties before we get to champions league; this year and last year prove uefa quite right, can see teams like Ajax gripe for it but not us

    The winner of the Prague v cluj tie will be the absolute whipping boys in their group just like Athens were last year
