Fucking hell

Can't believe there's some people who would keep Matondo and Raskin.

Our record there is pretty poor but nearly any time we played them under gerrard I expected us to win, that’s been lost since he left imo 

I’ve not given up on the league yet.
In my eyes we were never going to be good enough to go to celtic park and play for a draw, so not a whole lots changed in terms of what we need. Yesterday was an absolute shit show so can’t be bothered getting into that, but as long as the next old firm can take us top with a win I will keep believing, however unlikely it is that we’ll win there 
They haven’t played anyone decent themselves since Hearts beat them and apparently their first half on Saturday was grim again, so I am not convinced they’re now some winning machine. 
Won’t bother posting too much until we beat Dundee because this place actually makes a bad result seem 100x worse than it seems when you just process it in your own mind

Drop at least one centre back
Drop Tavernier
Drop Lundstram
Drop Dessers
That’s all I ask for.
 

Well there’s a chance mate I’ve just got to believe. Has to start by beating Dundee and comfortably.
ive had lots of thoughts over the last 16 hours or so. The players do need some blame but clement needs to pick his best side. Dowell from nowhere starting was wild, last weeks team was pretty wild as well. He’s imo not showing respect to the other teams by thinking he can fanny about keeping players for other games etc. we aren’t good enough to not start our strongest side. We should have enough to beat county but we’ve seen it far too many times over the years we need our strongest side out, some of our squad players would only be squad players at the other teams in the league and that should never be the case.
im deflated as fuck but it’s still possible and until another set of dropped points with them winning happens then I’ll just need to keep hoping 

I really can’t see us winning it now mate but whilst there’s a chance then what’s the point in just giving up? 

Let’s hope that the players don’t think this way. 
 
its a massive massive task now but we need to not have the mindset it’s gone till it’s gone. No team has ever won 5 out of 5 in the split which obviously doesn’t help us but it actually does show that if we can keep at it then we can do it.
i was at ibrox the year they “won the league at ibrox” sadly for them they never and we were champions 3 games later.
not trying to polish a turd cause yesterday was fucking despicable but it’s still there to try and win and I hope they can at least muster something starting on Wednesday 

Can we stop putting benfica in with the league games. I think the league record over the last four games is poor enough without adding in a team such as benfica. Don’t think it hammers home any point other than for people to make it sound worse when in reality 1 in 4 in the league is bad enough 

We need to start winning trophies. If anyone has the mentality that only the league matters then fuck off. Part of our problem has been accepting mediocrity. 
Next Sunday isn't a bonus, it's a fucking must. We need to start fucking winning.
We NEED to win the Scottish Cup this season

The excuses folk come up with to excuse these players and to a lesser extent the manager is incredible.
He picked the wrong team last week and arguably today.
Today at half time Sterling should have been on to stiffen midfield yet some think it’s about tiredness, managing minutes, sports science and whatever else.
 
 

Time for a break.

I think you know this is a stupid reply

Beyond ridiculous even adding in the Europa final.

I really don't think we need reminding of the failures we have endured under them. It's engrained in my mind.
 

Today was a shiter but the league isn't gone.
Effectively, the only thing that has changed today is a draw at Parkhead won us the league but now wins them the league.
If we win all of our games we win the title. Same for them. Either of us could still drop more points elsewhere to change that situation.
Given where we were in October I'll take a game at Parkhead decider for the title.
We fucked up today, they could fuck up at any time as well. 

Aye I get it, I'm pretty numb after that result. I expected both sides to drop points in the run in, but I really hoped it would be them that did it first. But at this stage, if we all turn up thinking that way then it isn't going to help matters. But it's all raw right now. 
Aye, more trust that the manager can find a way. Last few weeks gave undermined the trust in him though. But we don't really have any other choice at this point. 

I thought that was a bit shite as well. Tbf though, I can see why the manager was trying to gee up the crowd, we need everyone pulling in the same direction for the final push - but it's fair to say it's the players who are the only ones pulling in the wrong direction in recent weeks.

Can't even get excited on Liverpool losing.

4 points from last 12 available, 3 of the games against bottom 6 sides.
 
A complete capitulation even for this bunch of losers.

Really wish I had been wrong with that one mate 

It is one of those games where you can tell they're off it quite quickly from the way they pass. Not had to mention it for a while but whenever the passes start going behind players and the ball is bobbling about under their feet with several touches, it's usually a sign that players are retreating into their shells. You hope at half time the manager can maybe instil some calm and get us back on track again, but the opposite happened.
On a tangent here but semi-related: I had a pop at @Stunels earlier in the thread at half time because I didn't really think the "serial loser" chat was fair when we were winning 1-0. We could all see it was a poor performance, but I thought it was premature to be hitting out with that while we were winning. Sadly, it's turned out to be the case. A real bad one.

He's not going to throw the players under a bus with only some games left to go of the season.

If we win all our games we win the league - dont see this group of players doing it but they damn well better die trying.
