Can't argue with that. Embarrassing performance. Send the young lads out next time, they could not be any worse than this lot.

Just because your team aren't playing well don't have a go at me.
I have just as much right to post in this thread as you do son.

You have zero interest in Celtic, you just come into Celtic and SPL related threads to troll and get on people's nerves with your brand of bull. I just have no time for you and your inflammatory comments

Looks a nice footballer young Maguire.

Celtic really are awful.

Possibly the only irishman on the pitch?

The young fella Forrest has struggled out there.

He's still having a go at least to be fair to him.

Calls for Lennon's head is a bit pre-mature imo, he's not out there playing, there the ones the finger should be pointed at.

Should never have been appointed in the first place. Managing Celtic is a big, high pressure job. To put someone with no experience in charge is just insanity.

It's a match thread, if you think someone is baiting, don't rise to it. If every Rangers fan on boards was in here tonight taking the p*ss and supporting Utrecht there's nothing you really could do about it.

22 minutes to go, it doesn't look good but it's not over yet...

All 3 clubs look like going out and with that Scotland's extra Champions League spot next season.

This is actually worse than Artmedia

Shameful and embarrassing stuff. To think I refused to watch the paint dry to watch this ****e is unreal

Didn't realise that :eek:

Will the winners have to qualify now?

Mr.Nice Guy

This van Wolfswinkel lad looks impressive.

I don't know why you are getting so upset. The guys name is Ricky Van Wolfswinkel so I made a (bad) joke because you don't often hear that chant with a long name like Ricky Van Wolfswinkel at the end.

You have to calm down before you post on forums if something like my post sets you off.

I'm fully entitled to post in whatever thread I want to post in. It is a forum after all.

They were more than likely going to have to qualify next year anyway as Denmark have basically taking that spot.

And now with just Rangers left it will mean the winners of the SPL next season will probably enter the CL at the Second qualifying round, unless Rangers pick up a rake of point in their CL group.

super_furry

Lennon gone by Christmas.

Raskolnikov

Should have been 5-0, too greedy.

Wow, I didn't realise things were that bad.

flahavaj

Utrecht are just waltzing around them now - too easy.

Raskolnikov

I guess it only goes to show just how great Strachan was for twice getting Celtic into the last 16 of the Champions League.

Raskolnikov

Barry Maguire doing his Messi impression.

Recent Scottish Co-efficient:

It doesn't make pretty reading if this kind of form continues in Europe for the next few seasons...

Delighted to see those scottish bastards out.

Raskolnikov

van Wolfswinkel has missed buckets of chances. Celtic just want the pain to go away now.

The worst performance since Nuechetal Xmax in 1991. The Celtic board should be hounded from Celtic Park.

John Reid is a War Criminal!! We get what we deserve!!

They only thing thats keeping Scotland that high up at the moment is Rangers run to Uefa cup final in 07/08

Oat23

Looks like Motherwell are going out too.

Shamrock Rovers v Rangers in the 2nd Q round next year?
It'd be great.

All over. 4-0 Utrecht.

applehunter

One shot on target.

LuckyLloyd

That was horrendous. If Shamrock Rovers or Bohemians did that they would be lambasted on here. I don't really follow Scottish football all that closely and am really surprised at how poor that Celtic line up was. Shocking.

PauloMN

Deary me. Wonder did Johan mean 90 minutes when he said "a long run in Europe"?

Out of Europe in August. Disaster of a result, beatable by literally anyone.

Dolph Starbeam

Disaster, everything went wrong, Majstorovic looks like a joke, why were Juarez and Samaras taken off, strange ones imo. I couldn't even be bothered thinking about it, depressing is all it is...


F****n'.... BOO!!!!

Lennon has not come through ONE game of significance since caretaker or now real manager.

What an appointment.

Broxi_Bear_Eire

Have to say I am shocked thought Celtic would have went through with a bit of ease but if your first shot on target is in the 81st minute well

Scotland only has that season and the 06/07 one keeping them where they are right now, without those two years Scotland could be the 28th ranked league in Europe by 2013.

How is it the boards fault?

super_furry

Been saying it for a while, but Scottish football is circling the drain. Rovers/Bohemians/Sligo would be upper/mid-table sides there.

I'm not quiet sure the line up was that bad, they hadn't been playing too bad the last couple weeks so we were expecting better, they had even collected a few clean sheets but just tonight everything went wrong, 2 penalties which on another night might not have been given, they should have been down to 10 men also. Anyways ye terrible, there are no excuses.

Unfortunately we did embarrass Irish football this season in Europe

Gary Twigg reckoned Irish teams could compete in bottom half of the SPL anyway.

Even tho he couldnt, inspired opinion there.

ah sure, they always got the ultra-competitive SPL

Yeah thats the thing, apparently he was looking like an SPL standard at Airdrie but when he moved to England he wasn't good at all. Still likes scoring against us though :rolleyes:

Terrible for Celtic though, when they went 3 nil up you could see the heart was gone.

Bob the Seducer

I'm finding it difficult to be impartial in how I look at Celtic's players.

Zaluska is barely Dundee standard, Fortune is nowhere near even being able to do an impression of a top class striker, Samaras waste so many chances it's not even funny, Maloney should never have been brought back - ditto Mulgrew. Daryl Murphy, I don't know what to say to be honest, surely Stokes would have been a better option.

I could keep going but I won't. There are a handful of decent players at the club, Cha and Juarez did fairly well at the World Cup, Ki is a former Young Asian Player of the Year (even if he hasn't shown much of it at Celtic), Paddy McCourt has probably got more natural ability than any Northern Irish player since George Best. Overall, standards have slipped to the point where I could see problems for the club if they were playing in the Championship in England nevermind the Premiership.

An appointment of an apprentice manager, have we not learned the lessons of the Brady appointment of 1991??

The lack of spending during the Jan transfer window the year before last when all we signed was Willo ****in Flood!!!

We will pay for the mistakes of this board for years to come.

We have gifted a bankrupt institution a Champs League fortune for two years in a row.

Old Firm indeed!!!

EuskalHerria

So many questions after tonight and no quick fix. Over the last number of years the quality of the team has deterorated and with that the fight of the team has evaporated.

The books at CP have looked well and need to have some real investment onto the pitch. Nothing ridiculous, but something that would effect the attitude of the players and improve the overall quality.
