    I think you could be right mate, if I was Kris I would certainly be starting feel that way.

    I've always been a fan of Commons but questioned his European performances at times but in our three EL games he's been our best attacking player by a * mile. Said to my da about 30 secs before the sub that I would take Johansen off for Cifti, then saw 15 on the board and was just baffled.

    I thought the way Deila answered the question about commons was poor, saying it was unacceptable , he should have just said he wouldn't discuss it with her, what is unacceptable is his tactics and yet another * poor performance in Europe.

    Agreed.
    What about Brendan Rogers ? I wouldn't mind that.

    He is the only guy that has the ability to make anything happen in Europe for us, our best attacking player by a mile. Head and shoulders above the rest, Johansen is a * man down, yet Deila loves him and never takes him off, naw I back Commons here, Ronny Deila hasn't got a * clue.

    Because he goes against his ethos that hard work beats talent? Not that Commons doesn't work hard, he's not got the legs of some others though. Mainly Johansen.

    Yup, the annoying thing is I * like Ronny, I like the way he talks about football and his ideas but he seems more of an ideas man than someone who can implement those ideas.

    Shocking attitude from a guy that has shown petulance regularly with Celtic.

    Doesn't matter what anyone's opinion is of the substitution, himself included, the team comes before his opinions and his feelings. We are due an apology.

    Commons hasn't got the legs to last 90 mins on the wing, Johansen should of started out wide but shouldn't of started anyway. Commons has stayed on the pitch while playing absolute pish several times this season. Expect better of Commons though than to throw a fit. Least he showed his passion though.

    Fans come before the management and team for me.

    He wasn't the only Celtic man in that stadium going off his nut at that...

    I'm in the camp of...I can understand his anger. But save it for the dressing room.

    He's not a 'Celtic man' so let's not pretend that's why he acted like a spoiled brat.

    To act like that in front of everyone is a disgrace and in the cold light of day I'm sure he'll agree.

    Normally I would be in 100% agreement.. But there's something about what happened tonight that makes me feel like Commons was right.

    He's not a Celtic man? He's been here 4 or 5 years.

    Shows that we should be angry and disappointed with what we are getting, rather than meekly accept our dwindling position.

    I actually think that transpires better to a wider audience than doing/saying nothing and us just saying the polite nonsense to the media.

    100% with commons on this.! Respect is earned not just given. The guy loves the club and he can see it falling around him. If we had 11 guys with that passion about a club we would be doing alright.
    Collins is a wee rat! And kennedy I like the guy but he isnt a first team coach not yet anyway.. Deila needs to go as hes lost the dressingroom it was evident to see..
    Defo things need changed #1 get collins away 1st build from there.

    What dressing room ? Deila lost the dressing room long time ago.
    Why do you think Commons behaved like that ?

    Totally agree mate. He talks the perfect game but he's just * lost the plot. He was tactically outclassed and to be frank - tactically embarrassed by Erling Moe and Age Hareide this season.

    Malmo and Molde made us look like schoolboys when we travelled to their respective countries.
