  1. It was aye I remember that. I'm sure Owen Coyle scored Airdrie's other goal that night from a penalty. We were heavily linked with Ian McCall (who was Airdrie manager at the time) to replace the recently sacked Billy Davies but that never materialised.
  2. We'd be better off forfeiting this game and taking the 0-3 loss, it's the only way we'll keep the scoreline relatively 'respectable' and we won't have to endure yet another spineless capitulation and listen to the inevitable pish about how "we gave it everything, we can be proud of our effort" from the players and Robinson afterwards and the "we can't expect to compete with them when our budget dwarfs ours, games against the OF don't matter" line from the usual suspects in our support.
  3. Just what I said on the match thread, playing us at Ibrox is the best possible fixture Rangers could have hoped for if they want to 'bounce back'. Anyone who thinks we are getting anything other than soundly beaten on Saturday is kidding themselves on.
  4. Own goal, same as last time. It's the closest we'll get to laying a glove on them. You've obviously not seen much of us recently. The 'physical' element of our game that served us well a few years back is long gone and as a side we are soft as shite and easily beaten. All you need to do is take the lead against us and that wins you the game, seeing as we are incapable of scoring an equaliser this season. This really is the best fixture you could hope for if you want to bounce back from a bad result, because we are gutless when it comes to games against the Old Firm and haven't won a league match against Rangers for eighteen years. Trust me, that will 100 percent still be the case come 5pm on Saturday.
  5. Our recent record against the Old Firm is dreadful. We have lost our last eleven meetings with both of them combined and the majority of them have been heavy defeats. That won't change on Saturday. And with Rangers losing in the Cup tonight we will almost certainly be on the end of a backlash. 6-1 Rangers and we'll probably be 2-0 down within the first ten minutes.
  6. Correct, we wouldn't have beaten any of the sides remaining in the competition and losing to any of them at that stage would be alot harder to take than losing to Celtic. That said our domestic Cup record is dreadful and it's galling that one of Hibs, Livingston and both Saints clubs will now with ANOTHER trophy since we last managed it. It's true that we get absolutely no luck in Cups with regards to draws and I have no doubt whatsoever that had we got past St.Johnstone then the Old Firm would still be in the Cup. But we also lack the necessary bottle and character to be a good Cup club. We are riddled with a losers mentality from top to bottom.
  7. How often do we see this when we are due to play one of the Old Firm, especially Rangers? They lose the game just before they play us and we suffer the inevitable backlash. We had little to no chance on Saturday anyway but even less now and as sure as night follows day, we will be on the end of a hammering.
  8. Goldson goes for it here....oh it's a goal, it's 1-0 to Rangers!
  9. That's how you win leagues, grind out tough wins from tricky fixtures against inferior sides who's sole tactic is to slow the game down and hope to draw you into a battle. Two very good goals from Rangers today.
  10. This question always comes every single time anyone suggests changing the manager. "Who would you replace him with"? Firstly, it's not my job to source and appoint a replacement, but I would suggest that we follow the process that any other club would when in the situation of appointing a new manager. Advertise the post, carry out an interview process and select the best candidate. There will ALWAYS be interest in the position of manager of a top flight, professional football club, I don't get why some people seem to think otherwise and that we'd be restricted to picking someone off the managerial merry-go-round of Scottish football. Changing the manager has benefitted us in the past, not every time granted, but it has worked for us. McGhee replacing Malpas, Brown replacing Gannon and even Robinson replacing McGhee back in 2017. There is literally nothing about this team and the current set up that suggests that things will improve and we it's becoming clearer by the week that a change is badly needed.
  11. Well we've got Rangers away next week and we all know how that pans out and looking at our other fixtures between now and the next St.Mirren game there's not one you would confidently back us to win in our current form. I genuinely wouldn't give Robinson another transfer window, given his dreadful performances in the last few, especially last summer. We are forever being reminded that we have a small budget so can we really trust this manager to use it wisely this time around, following several disastrous attempts? That's if, of course, we actually have any scope to enter the transfer market given the amount of dross we have under contract. I do worry though that if/when Robinson eventuay does leave that the job will just be handed to Lasley. That would be a wrong move and basically just more of the same as we currently have. We need radical change, a 'new broom' to come in, not simply handing the job to the assistant of a previous, doomed regime.
  12. Pathetic from us yet again. The team and the manager are a disgrace, the squad is full of lower League guff and the manager needs to carry the can for several horrendous transfer windows.
  13. Another dismal result and performance today. The fact that we are in mid December and we have failed to score an equaliser all season is absolutely damning. We have no striker worthy of the name at the club, just several 'forwards' who aren't good enough and we have zero fight or bottle in that team. Other sides know that all they need to do is score first against us and that's enough to win them the game, because we have neither the firepower or the character to get back in it. As far as I'm concerned Robinson needs to go, but he's not the only one. We need drastic change at the club, on and off the park.
  14. Unless we break the habit of the season and score an equalising goal then this is yet another dismal afternoon for us. I cant see us getting back in this mind you as it looks same old, same old. Flat, powderpuff and too easily beaten down the flanks. Robinson out.
  15. Absolutely no doubt that it will be. Celtic fans are hypocrites to the core, not to mention self entitled, petulant arseholes.
  16. It's absolutely glorious to see the Celtic support turn on their own and show their true colours for the second Sunday in a row. This is the same mob that proclaim that their club is open to all (as long as you share their extreme, warped views on political issues) and that they are faithful through and through (so long as they win every domestic trophy going and much more importantly, get to lord it over Rangers and the rest of Scottish football (and if not then they gather in the car park during a global pandemic and attempt to attack their clubs players and management team). Nobody does "canny take it" quite like Celtic FC and their support.
  17. Never liked Falkirk, a bunch of whining, mumping arseholes so glad to see them get their arses handed to them on a plate like that. Sounds like Rangers royally slapped them right into place too. #Ah-as I was walking by the Falkirk wheel, I seen a local ragin', for the Falkirk Bairns, got skelped 4-0 by the Mighty Glesga Rangers!# Well done Rangers, YATP.
  18. Perhaps, but given the numerous videos showing them shouting "Lennon, Lennon GTF" then it's pretty clear who's in their firing line here.
  19. That's not the point here. The point here of course being just how much the Celtic support have turned on Neil Lennon, to the point that hundreds/thousands are actively protesting against him and calling him for everything. When you consider that we're talking about a person who they have been holding up as a martyr, stopping just short of calling for a statue to be erected of him to make him out as some downtrodden hero of some sorts and he's now basically a hate figure, then it shows up the Celtic support for what they really are.
  20. This is what happens when you give the spoilt, loud mouthed playground bully what they want for long enough. You let them act the c**t, do what they want, say what they want with no comeback...as soon as things don't go their way, they can't handle it and turn on their own. BIG STYLE. They've been so used to winning everything in sight that they just don't know how to react when they finally lose out. I was having a wee read at a quote prominent Celtic forum post match and one particular quote stood out like a big, burning, gold trophy. It was dripping in hilarity and irony. In regards to the abuse Neil Lennon is currently taking from CELTIC supporters, the quote said...."He brings it on himself". HA-HA-HA-HAAAAAA!!!!!
  21. So Celtic's players are being told to leave the stadium for their own safety and the same hoardes that were holding candlelit vigils and sanctimoniously telling everyone that they "are all Neil Lennon" ten years ago are gathering in numbers outside the ground during a global pandemic and baying for the blood of their prodigal son? Thus Neil Lennon's personal safety is now in more jeapordy from Celtic supporters than it ever was from Rangers/Hearts or whoever "because of his background" and all that nonsense. All very poetic, but not surprising, because no one does the spoilt brat and angry, bitter wee man of Scotland better than your average Celtic supporter. And as always, when they don't get what they want, they show their true colours. "Sellic canny take it! Sellic canny take it"
  22. Our squad is full of sub standard, lower League players and that's at the managers door. Three summers in a row he has been given scope to bring in players and his signings have largely been utter dross and the standard seems to get worse every year. We really, really need a new approach, starting with binning Robinson and then NOT handing the job to Lasley, but sadly we all know that's what will happen when Robinson does eventually go. A new broom is badly needed.
  23. Just what I was thinking. When you look at White, Lamie and Seedorf all on the pitch for us it hits home just how woeful the standard of some of our players is. It's embarrassing.
