Hamilton 1 v 1 Celtic Post Match Thread

* off ,

The manager and players are at fault big time , blame the ref all you want ,

The players was * the manager was * , * clueless takes off * Kayal and leaves Mc Court on who done sweet * all tonight .
wrong starting 11 and wrong subs made .

 

Playing Hibs the way we played tonight - * angry we had a great chance to have our tails up with a win and go and try and win and go TEN points clear....I dont know another team who puts its fans through the wringer the way they do.

 

the foul

stokes's penalty

 

And after the overwhelming positivity of the Old Firm game, we're back to square one.

Some folk on here are Jekyll & Hyde with their emotions after results...just like the team I suppose.

 

What did he do against the Huns?? Still running after 90 mins isn't enough in my book!

 

Going a bit over the top now mate... firstly regardless of his managerial ability, Lenny is a Celtic legend, he doesn't deserve personal attacks like this... and I hardly think it's fair to put him in the same boat as Mowbray, Brady and Macari... this time last season, Celtic had drawn 5 SPL games and lost 3. We were 9 points behind Rangers with a game in hand. I'd say our current progress this season has been a marked improvement.

 

top fella

 

Emilio played fantastic tonight, stokes isn't good enough, kayal wasn't bad, mccourt running into people, ref's poor decisions, same old.

 

The team gave plenty of effort but from a footballing aspect it was an awful performance, i understand playing against a 10 man wall can be hard but seriously we have got much better players than hamilton and shouldve at least created more opportunities, lacked shape, sharpness and had to many players spending to long on the ball especially paddy who very selfish throughout.

 

It is most certainly not aimed at you and I apologise if you took offence at it.

However, I must stand by my view that Lennon will not do.

He has no ability, and we have no time.

Sorry !

 

You my friend really are "wired to the moon"

 

Didn't want to say anything in the heat of the moment. Apart from the referee, part of the problem was that we never got enough players attacking the 6 yard box. Mulgrew put in some decent crosses in the first half and they were easily dealt with as they just had to cope with Stokes. Maybe Ledley can work on arriving late in the box and Freddie can give him a few tips. That's the only reason I can think why Kayal was taken off instead of him. Our wingers were playing narrow at times which meant there was little space. Maj could have done better with a header from a corner and as the game went on we seemed to be playing as individuals with McGinn and Stokes having solo efforts. I noticed Paddy having a go at a couple of team mates as well athough he didn't have the best of games himself. He was doing what McGeady was often criticised for and that was ignoring a team mate he could have passed it to. When it comes off he deservedley gets praise but no player can do that every single game and sometimes the simple ball is the best option

But it would be unfair to single out one man as too many players never turned up tonight until it was too late

 

It was all one Neil Lennon after the victory at Ibrox and now, here we go again, the same old *!

Could he have done anymore tonight? Probably not!

Hamilton goal was offside, mistake number one. Forrest sending off, mistake number two. Two penalty decisions in there, one which we did get, the other we should have got instead of a booking for McGinn. Disallowed goal, at the time I thought was a shocker but seeing that picture, it's an error on Izzy's part. Baffles me that the linesman spotted that and failed to spot the Hamilton player offside for the goal.

Some positives, Izzaguire in the 2nd half was outstanding. His workrate and effort to create something was top notch. Alot of Stokes bashing going on too in the last couple of days but he wanted that ball and he still had to score the penalty, despite the pressure that would have been on him. He's not a lone striker, that's all it is... him and Hooper work incredibly well together and I think once Gary is back, Stokes will improve too.

To say that we have a 'pish' team is a disgrace.

 

problem was our lack of someone to put it in the air to. Not the best for fans. But you need it sometimes. Stokes up on his own had to run from side to side to get a sniff and by the time he levelled up his man, the rest were back in their box. Plenty of effort, but you're never guna get anywhere with width in those circumstances. We missed height up front.

 

I still can't believed there goal stood, forrest's red card was very unfair.

 

Paddy needs to learn quickly to stop always looking to beat his man, with no space. moving it on quickly to someone else can be just as good, if not better than him wasting time or running the risk of being tackled

 

Late cross was out but if he can see that then he should have saw the offside earlier, simple.

 

Hopefully hunskelper will be here for Saturday.

 

Yeah long balls are useless to Stokes. Also we could have done with a runner from cm even to distract one of the CB's when the ball came in from a wide position

 

Feels worse tonight than the night we lost at Tynecastle - expected that

Tonight NO excuse 64mins to get a FIRST shot on goal and a PENALTY to scrape a draw against the BOTTOM team with 12 points.

Cant even look forward to easter road on saturday were we should have been going for a 10 point lead...* livid with the players and managers team selection.
