Let's face it Michael Beale masked a lot of Rodgers issues.

The 1st Celtic v Rangers win masked a lot of Rodgers problems. There was talk of pressure on Rodgers before the win. The win bought Rodgers time.

But Rodgers brand of football can't be hidden now that the other side have their act together. It's boring, no substance to it, no style, easy to play against.

Transfer windows. Do we really even need to go it them.

This has a C.V. season all over it.

Celtic need to win all remaining games to win this league. Is anyone confident we can do that? Sorry I'm not.

Fans go on about getting our injured players back. CVV not been at it this season. Remember Rodgers didn't fancy Hatate at the start of the season. They're the only 2 players we're missing. Could anyone argue they'd make a difference.

We have for some reason let them close the gap, that maybe never be re opened again.

We had the chance to bury them and didn't take it.

Now it's the who'll be partying in George Square. Not unless something dramatically changes with our play and within Celtic Park.

{Ed007's Note - TRIFC need to win every game to win the league - and we're sitting top at this minute - is anyone confident they can do that?
Brendan Rodgers has won against both TRIFC managers this season with 2 derbies to go, it's pathetic the amount of Celtic fans that are writing us off and basically conceding the league with 13 games to go.
Anyone that watched that game today could see we should have comfortably won when you look at the sitters players missed, CalMac, MOR had a few really good chances etc etc if they had went in would people be on here blaming the board, PL or Rodgers?
This is down to the players, they need to do better, Rodgers has consistently spoke about the need to break quicker, be more dynamic and it's not happening, is that down to DD, PL, the board, Rodgers or the actual players on the park that it isn't happening?}

Ed; I always appreciate your honesty and admire your faith and optimism. I just hope the players have the same belief determination, Because I haven't seen enough of it. H H.

{Ed007's Note - Are Them 'Uns THAT good?}

Ed. I hear what your saying. That lot aren't great but I personally just think at this moment in time they have the bite between their teeth whilst we're very fragile. As that game went on today (and I take note we had chances) you just had a feeling of the inevitable was going to happen.

Now TRIFC may get beat or draw tomorrow then there's a different spin on today of course.

But no one is scared to play us, the fear at this moment has gone. We can't score goals, struggle to break teams down. Eyes, more often than not don't lie and I'm seeing it with my own eyes.

{Ed007's Note - Do you think TRIFC will win every game left in the league? Are they as suddenly "The Galacticos" we'eve heard about under Warburton, Mick the Mole etc etc?}

Ed we could make that exact statement about every match we have dropped points in or won in the dying minutes. Most games we have 75% possession and do little with it. Playing sevco are the only games I actually feel confident of a good outcome. The truth is that since the last three months of last season we have been playing this same movie on repeat. Teams give us possession until we hit the 18 yard box knowing we have no clue what to do next. We have tried a gazillion wingers and not one can get to the by line, every corner ends up back on the half way line. Taylor must have made a half dozen runs into space behind their defence only to see passes going sideways. Celtic teams of old used to pummel defences until law of averages converted chances to goals, now 80 minutes of every game is taken up with meaningless passes as we watch the clock tick down. If players aren’t good enough that’s fare enough, then that becomes the managers job to look up and demand more. I’m 64 now and have watched the same failures of this club being repeated over and over and still have no idea why this club never wants to be a good as it possibly could. If that’s a conspiracy I’m afraid I’m guilty.

They are just as piss only they have hit some form, and create enough chances to score enough, we create and don't convert, no conviction, no Cohesion, no leaders!
The game plan is clearly affecting the players that much that the confidence has completely zapped out of them.

I'm not wrinotg anything off, I'm just absolutely sick of watching this style of play and how easy we are to play against, in high ball played is a gulp in the throat, Joe Hart again making some good saves when needed.

Let's hope CCV and Hetate can lift morale when they come back in.

At the moment they are head and shoulders above us, I know my posts have been negative, but I think it's more brazen bravado than confidence that this team can turn things around. I hope and pray I'm wrong but a large dose of reality is missing from your ethos ed. No disrespect intended.

{Ed007's Note - The reality is if Celtic win every game left this season they will be champions. No disrespect but I think you are more interested in what TRIFC do than Celtic. If Celtic win all the remaining games we'll win the league and the amount of Celtic fans that can predict the future is absolutely astounding!
Have you got a bet on for the TRIFC game tomorrow?
Is it not reality that if Celtic win every remaining league game they will be champions? I'm sure I've read that.
At the moment we are clear at the top of the league, the world could end tomorrow, would TRIFC be awarded the league title?}

Hey my friends Enrico agree with Ed here.

Some fans are giving sevco too much credence you know?

They do not have bit between teeth and better results. We have played poorly that is only reason it is as close you know.

BR is still the right man to be in charge.

We have beat these guys twice already and will beat them again.

Very frustrating result today guys.

The sevco had 2 chances to go too and bottled it.

We need calm focused heads and McGregor capitano must lead by example and must not let any nerves set in to him or anyone else.
