    Can I get money back from my ST? If I had bought a car it was so * a few weeks later I could?!

    Yes, he's been left short as * in terms of squad depth, but he has to take his share of the blame tonight.

    Anyone with even half an eye could see Abada right and Forrest left wasn't working.

    Our fullbacks are too * and too inept in terms of any footballing brain to learn how to play cutting inside.

    Bullied, yet again, by even the shitiest of footballing teams who show any form of physicallity.

    Bitton over Welsh, another poor choice.

    Turnbull has been a * ghost, Christie (as * as he's been) has been bursting his balls, should've started.

    Edouard has offered absolutely * nothing. Ajeti would be as well packing his bags and walking away if he can't even get a substitiute appearance over this * charlatan.

    Aye, things are looking very VERY grim...

    Too early to judge but I'm not feeling too confident in him now. Can see why we wasted 4 months on howe.

    Folk are point blank refusing to blame him. That starting 11 is more than good enough to beat Hearts. Our front 5 were anonymous, created next to * all, and he waits to the * end of the match to make some subs.
    He needs to wisen up defensively and quickly. We are constantly being caught out short at the back

    You’re not listening: this has little to do with the fans and everything to do with market confidence and the share price.

    Sooner or later, the board - and eventually Desmond’s status as largest shareholder - would be very unlikely to survive a manager suddenly quitting and blaming the board’s lack of backing.

    The difference with the Bielsa situation is that it’s a matter of observable fact that we’ve not filled certain positions before the start of the season. Ange would therefore have evidence of what he’d be alleging.

    Having no plan is going to cost him regardless of what players he has.

    When he does something good he will be praised when he * it up he should be criticised.

    Tonight for me Ange got it wrong, his set up, tactics and subs where awful.

    We are wanting to win the game and going two up top would have made a difference. He left it too late to bring on fresh legs, like he did in midweek and we got punished for it.

    I’m not saying he is not the man to take us forward but he looked lost out there tonight when his plan A never worked.

    people can go on about how bad we are at the back, I get that but we are worse in the final third and that’s frightening when we do have quality players on the park.

    Still no competitive wins for Ange, this has to change in the next week.

    Forrest should never have started on the left.
    Bitton should never have started.
    Subs too late.
    Edouard lasting 90.
    The f/bs are poor, let them do their job. Implement the system when you have the personnel.

    All on him tonight.

    The share price doesn’t change as much as people think it does, and it certainly won’t change rapidly because a football a manager leaves.

    We lost a chance at £40m+ the other night and I bet it barely shifted. You’re kidding yourself if you think a Celtic manager chucking it is causing any sort of change in the Celtic boardroom due to share price shifts. I’m sorry it just doesn’t work like that.

    Even if it did Desmond and his cronies own enough of the shares to dictate how the board is formed.

    The only thing that will force serious change at Celtic is a significant reduction in season ticket income. Period. It’s as simple as that.

    The whole business is built around it. Celtic is a service and we are the customers, who pay annual subscriptions. If we cancelled those subscriptions the business will change, because it would quickly fail otherwise.

    The board still take the majority of the blame for me tonight.

    You shouldn’t hire a manager with such a defined philosophy regarding how he wants his team to play and then mess him around when it comes to actually bringing in the required personnel. It’s disgraceful that we not only allowed anyone to inherit that back line, but that we’ve continued to * around when it comes to making new signings - particularly in regards to the fullbacks. The squad is threadbare, to say the least, with a serious lack of depth and quality in numerous positions, yet the board don’t seem to be in any sort of rush to address it.


    In saying that, Ange does need to take some criticism for tonight. He absolutely needs to sort out the situation with subs. You shouldn’t be waiting until after the 70th minute to make a substitution, particularly when there’s very obvious subs to be made that potentially would’ve made a difference. I hated it with Lennon, and I’m hoping it won’t become an issue with Ange.

    The state of the squad is on him.

    This board is in no position to negotiate, given the masses baying for them.

    I doubt they’d be messing about if the manager was threatening to walk two months in.

    Getting wide to interviewers when they've not said anything remotely cheeky isn't a good look especially after a defeat
