Had a few days to calm down after Sunday! And although I agree that the ref and his assistants were a disgrace I still feel it's papering over the other reasons we got beat! I feel and have most of the season that our forward line is the poorest it's been in years! I like we griffiths and he's a grafter but I feel there's a real lack of quality up top! I was astounded to find out that not one of our front players has reached double figures in the SPL! And I know there's not the money to splash on real top quality,and if there was chances are they wouldn't want to come to our league! But surely it must be a priority in the summer to buy a half decent striker! I never thought I would see the day when no celtic striker hasn't even hit double figures in the legue going into May! It's actually staggering!

Wiss67 we need a striker who is good in the air. i'm sure issue will be addressed in the summer and would not be surprised if club already had someone in mind.

Club has to keep pressure on SFA and its clear referees do not like the fact club has gone public, after hearing the pi$h kenny clark was spouting last night. At least something good can come out of this fiasco, referees get the message that no longer will we tolerate corruption

Sadly we lack quality all over the park not just strikers. Our one man up front doesn't suit any of our strikers and when our midfielders have off days we struggle badly. For me the only system that works regularly in domestic matches is two up front,yes we would have to change for some euro matches but does anyone seriously think this squad will trouble any decent European team.

Killy he was on BBC news basically saying it was a disgrace for celtic to go public regarding incident and that it should of been dealt with behind closed doors, through SFA specified procedures. That was main gist of what he was saying.

There is footage of McLean last year describing rules regarding handball. What he said in footage contradicts his decision for handball.

Have absolutely no faith in SFA and its time for Neil Doncaster to go. Its his responsibility to ensure all aspects of scottish game is developed and of a satisfactory standard. He has done nothing and no doubt the handball incident will be swept under carpet and McLean admonished

Ironically I bet Doncaster is a secure as ever if not more so now. I'd say PL probably had him in his sights, as let's face it he's incompetent , but any move against him now and they will be shouting it was only for the good of celtic and it's just PL flexing his muscles and taking over! bla de bla, while clearly the member clubs should have turfed the lot of them out a long time ago.

DN30, I think it's a bit strong to say that we are victims of corruption. I just think the officials aren't very good.
On Sunday, a terrible blunder by the referee played a big part in the outcome of the match, but I honestly think calling it corruption doesn't add up.
When we beat Dundee United in the league cup final, they had a penalty claim turned down, they had a man sent off, and we got a penalty. These decisions were made by a referee who is evidently a season ticket holder at Ibrox.
I don't think that if there was a conspiracy against us, that the referee would have given us these decisions.
Sometimes we find it easier to blame a howler from the ref, rather than be honest with ourselves, and admit that we didn't play very well on the day

Weiss, you seem to not be able to wait to get the boot into the Celtic side . Sunday wasn't the day are shortfalls up front all came to light . If so we may not have that big a problem as on Sunday we were missing three attacking players . We were missing Stokes GMS and Armstrong .
Celtic have been trying unsuccessfully for years to sign the right striker and I am sure been cheated on Sunday hasn't changed that . I have no idea whether Deila will be any more successful than his predecessor in getting the right target as Deila is using nearly the same scouting team as Lennon . Managers cannot do all the work themselves even though some people hold them responsible, they do have to rely on the judgement of other staff .

Wiss I agree with what you have said The thing that I can't get out my head is the fact that the penalty indecent was as clear cut as there penalty In my opinion there is NO WAY one or both the REF and the guy behind the goal never caught it hitting his arm /hand they BOTH had clear view. Any one can make a mistake and if there was video evidence to show both had obstructed view then fair play it was a mistake but that is not the issue here its because again in my opinion one or both could not fail to see the ball hit his arm that is the Issue

Would never give Clark the time of day for obvious reasons.
However, the main points regarding our lack of quality up front is an ongoing concern.
From Pukki, Baldi and Stokes to Berget, Wakaso and Scepovic we have got it wrong for a couple of seasons running.
Guidetti is not our player and Griffiths has his limits and we have been depending on goals from other areas all season.
There will be a big turnover of players at the end of the season for one reason or another and I hope RD has identified better players and learned lessons from the signings/loans who flopped.
Armstrong and GMS are excellent additions and hopefully we can strengthen in the important areas and improve.

Gerryc there was a clear line of sight in which McLean could see incident. It was a blatant handball which could not be anymore obvious or clearer to McLeans line of vision

Could have had Rooney for peanuts, proven scorer in spl as well but our fans would have started shouting about taking the cheap option and he is not champions league quality , he will probably score 30 for Aberdeen this year a total our strikes can only dream of .
