What makes something 'the worst result in our history' exactly? Surely the criteria is entirely arbitrary.

I would think the worst result would be measured by how bad the consequences were. If we progress tonight then last weeks result ultimately doesn't mean anything.

The negativity on here is disgraceful towards everything Celtic, it really is relentless
It's effing brutal. A bottomless pit of misery.
If only there were other places to go where you wouldn't have see that?

Like anywhere else.

That's logic, right there.

Just means that we'll need to wait until tonight, before discussing it in cataclysmic terms.
Obviously some can't wait that long.

No doubt it was a dreadful result,however only half time and we really should turn it around ,I'm
sure when I was younger my da and his pals wouldn't have been happy bunnies losing to BK 1903 in
the first leg .

That's because the positiveity has been knocked out of us. Every time someone (me included) predicts a comfortable win against what appears on paper to be a much inferior team, we get skelped, humiliated and embarassed. After a while its hard to be anything else but pessimistic and scathing. Its a mental defence mechanism.

There's nothing mental about it. ;)

The one positive in the last year (?) has been the appointment of Rodgers, which was greeted mainly with positivity. The rest has got the reaction it deserved. Even that could go wrong pretty quickly over the next few weeks between qualifiers and transfer window. I'm sitting glad I didn't shell out for a ST after last week, just begging for something, anything, that will get me to that TO with cash. Was planning on doing last week until that result. Holding off now to see if it's another scam to persuade fans to shell out with nothing really changing. Seems unlikely but the way the fans have been treated over the last 10 years the trust has gone. They want cold, hard cash? I'd like to see what I'm getting first thanks. 500 quid to shout at Ciftci all year isn't good bang for my buck.

Yeah, eight games without a win in European competition will do that to you. Especially when there's a defeat in there to a bunch of taxi drivers and accountants (oh but aye, they've got professional players too :ffs: )

We're currently about as far away from the Champions League as we can be, failing to win the League aside. There can't be many who actually think that our European form over a long period suggests we will actually emerge successfully from this likely six game slog which takes in the delights of Gibraltar, (we hope) Central Asia and wherever else.

If people think the negativity is bad, they must have been asleep for all but 6 months of Deila's time in charge.

It's difficult not to be highly sceptical when, if we're being honest, we had hoped that someone at Celtic might have already warned Brendan about the seriousness of pitching Efe into any meaningful game no matter who the opposition, but that's clearly forlorn. Or that he and his team maybe might have been able to recognise the dangers of that for himself, with a bit of time to spare to rectify it.

The fanbase simply requires a level of competence resulting in no drama this evening and then, if that happens, a genuine sign of hope in what is most likely to be Kazakhstan next Wednesday. Hope that we can do what any decent team would do in these circumstances, win the tie with the minimum of fuss.

How longs the time frame before "really ambitious appointment" turns to "Lawwell's puppet/yes man"? How long's he got?

Never try and apply a logical solution to an emotional problem.

Shouldn't it be after the extra time and penalties?

This, last week was just silliness combined with a few players who have spent too long blaming others for their lack of hunger/ability.

A big win tonight and last weeks game is irrelevant.
