    That was pretty tragic viewing, to be honest; I don't expect it'll be the pattern for the season, but still it's pretty galling. Should've been more changes from midweek.

    Dunno what the * Christie was thinking with that tackle.

    I was just curious as to what you thought there. Today was brutal, but I don’t think they’re better.

    Even before Christie got sent off we looked slow and struggled with the pitch. Then after going down to 10 men we never had enough fight, Jullien Brown and McGregor were very poor today.

    We should of went for a physical line up today, start Bayo up with Eddy and Hayes instead of Boli. Hindsight is great but it we could all see this was going to be a battle, needed fresh legs after Thursday

    Considering we beat the mankys at Ibrox, and now if they win today they will be ahead on points and goal difference, things could definitely be better.

    We can blame the pitch all day long, but every team in the league has to play on it.

    Tactics were wrong today.

    You can't play football on that surface, pointless playing wingers.

    Should've been a diamond in midfield with Bayo and Eddie both up front. Ball has to move faster, particularly when they've just attacked and out of shape.

    Bauer isn't anywhere near Elhamed's level. I was cringing when he shat out of a 50/50 near the end. Hate to see that.

    Big, big lessons to be learned from today. It isn't just a case of turning up every weekend with a few flicks and go home with the 3 points. Too many didn't want to put in a graft.

    noticed we had more away fixtures -- and yes they will drop points, The shock for us is that we dropped points to Hibs when they are all over the place and then we lose to Livi who i don't think have won at home this year , certainly not recently

    Losing 5 points within a week in the manner we did is what hurts ,, and those cnuts going top for the next month or so is just rubbing it in

    Roll on November

    That win at ipox has been trashed now really, all that hard work and last 2 games sends you banging yer head against a wall.. Even at 11 men we looked like it was going to be a struggle. Flat as a fart here, players looked like they where aw put on the transfer list coming out onto the bus there.. Ah well few more beers then back down the road... This is how it feels to Celtic....

    No overly concerned they where top a few times last season. It's a long season we will be fine.

    People saying we were absolute dog * last 2 league games isn’t necessarily being hysterical mate, we still 100% win the league, it’s even more frustrating when you know how good they same 11 players and how pish they were last weekend and today

    They don't have to be better than us to win the league. I can think of a few years where we had the better team and lost the league... one season under Burns and the Seville year stand out.

    How does the best team lose the league? Weeks like this one.

    It's a red. To the letter of the law, it's unquestionably a sending off.

    What riles people up is Collin's inconsistent application of the rules.

    At Pittodrie McGinn went in with 2 feet off the ground a matter of yards away from Collum - no sending off.

    Today a Livi player recklessly dives in at the end with no intention of playing the ball - no sending off.

    Julien grabbed by the neck - no penalty. Guy puts 2 hands on Julien's back in air - no penalty.

    Yet he was only too quick to point to the spot in that same Pittodrie game for 2 theatrical swan dives.

    It's irrelevant if he's a cheat or incompetent. He can't do his job. Call him out like the huns did and let's see if he doesn't officiate another one of our games for 6 months.

    We were robbed last week not getting the penalty, and it was uphill today after christies red card. We have played 5 away and 3 at home while the huns have played the opposite. They will drop points and probably sooner than some think. I hope Lenny drums a siege mentality into our team from here on out. We need to go on another run of wins and looking at our fixtures sheep away is the only hard game we have for the next couple of months. Just go out and start smashing teams 3, 4 and 5 nil. And lets see how they * handle the pressure of being top.
