How To Throw Away 2 Points, When, Really, You Want To Throw Away 3.

"Spot The Passengers" 

I'm all for assisted suicide. Just not when it involves my fitba' team.

Great first half, we created chance and chance, which we missed but after 58 mins we were 2-0 up through 2 goals from the rapidly becoming enigmatic figure of Georgios Samaras. Then one slack pass fae the up until then impressive Paul Hartley, two errors of judgement by The Holy Goalie and massive clipboard failure meant that we hung on for a 2-2 draw and were left looking as bruised and battered as a Liverpool DJ who has spun Frank Sidebottom records all evening.

The goals are here, wie thanks to 101 great goals.

So, we come in at 54% possession, 3 shots on, 4 shots off and 2 shots blocked. All were decent chances. Dundee Hibs, had 3 shots on, 2 shots off and a massive 8 corners to oor 3. Again, all their chances were decent, in what, for a netural and not a neurotic freak, was a decent game of fitba'.

That is only the 2nd time this season that we have not won a game when we have taken the lead, yes, the other time was against Dundee Hibs also, and oor defences knack of losing goals in the 2nd period, 23 this season, and between 75 and 80mins, that's 4 this season, continues. We also have not won any of oor last 2 home games.

 "I was happy with the chances we made in the first half, and if there is anything we regret, it's that we didn't take them. We didn't start the second half very well but we got the second goal. I thought we could have got through with common-sense football but we didn't play common-sense football, as you saw." pointed oot oor manager, wie some sort of sense but while trying to climb his way back oot of Craig Levein pocket.

Levein saw, like 50 odd thousand others, that oor left-handside was a weak spot. Lee Naylor and Barry Robson were posted missing in the last 35 mins. He made the sub to exploit that area while oor manager did nothing to stop the flow doon that side. If anyone can gie me a decent argument for playing the limited Barry Robson in a creative wide berth at home then, bring it on.

If anyone can gie me a decent argument for not shooting Lee Naylor then, bring it on.

The lack of creativity from the wide areas means the "What To Do Wie Aiden McGeady " question, no longer becomes a sideshow. Oor manager said: "The reasons are that I wanted to stay faithful with the squad that played so well in the last two games. Also, everyone knows about this under-21 rule which we have complained about consistently since I have come here - as have other managers - but there is no change."

Whether playing McGeady, or even bringing on McGeady, in the last 20 would have changed the game is a if yer auntie had baws type question. The Celtic team were that ramshackle by this point a tightener was needed not a maverick. The loyality to the squad reasoning needs no backing, the not picking your best players is another ponder all together.

Last word to Big Sammy, the only player I have seen score 2 goals and have a performance that verged on the terrible: "We committed suicide. When you are two-nil up, you cannot lose two points; that is unacceptable."

Canny argue wie that.

Forza.
