Didn’t expect much yesterday but along with the other 270 Saints fans who were there, I watched as our hopes of achieving anything were very quickly dashed and the Parkhead disco lights were put into action.
Thought our keeper played well and his double save before Burke pounced on the third rebound was something to shout about before the disco lights burst into action again.
Watching the Saints play a 5-5-0 formation on the edge of our 18-yard box wasn’t particularly encouraging and parking the bus there did nothing to stop the celebratory lighting effects of the Stadium DJ.
Celtic were miles ahead in every area and you didn’t need any additional lighting to show that up.
The introduction of Kyle McAlistair allowing us to break from the 5-5-0 was a positive but to be fair Jackson was as good as zero up front and couldn’t do anything in the couple of times he crossed into the Celtic half. Hopefully McAllistair is the player who can do something to brighten up the rest of our season.
I just wonder why it took so long to bring him on?
Except for the pitch which did look diseased, Celtic Park looked good last night and the stadium is different class but the approach roads for the fans were dangerous. London Road was an Ice Rink and I witnessed a few fans falling on their arse, which was mildly amusing as they were all Celtic fans.
We need to turn up on Sunday against Hibs. Hopefully McAllister and our new striker (whoever he may be) can turn things around. From our point of view he was the only shining light  last night and the mystery for me was why he was only on the park for about 20 mins.

Reality check for those who can admit it?
that was not Celtic's first choice team last night, and by all accounts Airdrie gave them a better game than we did. Didn't expect us to win, or even be close really. But the tactical naivety that Oran continually displays is frightening. That was the weirdest starting line up I've seen, and as soon as we needed a sub we are bringing on players who apparently have no place at the club?
its all well and good shipping out 15-16 players to save money, and try and recruit quality, if you can recruit it? Our new goalie, centre back and midfielder have been part of a team that's shipped six in two games, and we have nothing on the bench to worry them about being dropped.
can only assume that Anton is injured, and was never going to play last night or Saturday? Which begs the bleedin obvious question? Why the f**k is he taking up a squad place? Shouldnt you have someone on the bench you can bring on?
I have read, posters and even our managers comment that 'games against celtic wont define our season'. What utter pish! Does that mean Oran is up for surrendering the draw he got against them in his first game, and his comments after that?
the damage to team morale after such an inept performance will be harsh, it does matter how you lose! It also matters very much to potential targets you may be in for!
Do you think they would take more notice over a few comments on here questioning their worth, or perhaps be swayed elsewhere after seeing the level of performances their prospective teammates are capable of..?
Dundee have shown they are up for the fight, we struggled with Alloa, now an indifferent Hibs are up next, who have made some good acquisitions. This is a MUST win game for us given what follows on its heels. If Dundee pick up points on Saturday, and next week, and we dont? We will become detached at the bottom no matter what Hamilton do!
 

An abject performance to say the least.
The lack of awareness or concentration from our players, especially the defenders is absolutely criminal. If they're not stopping and watching opposition players work a chance for themselves they're putting in half-arsed challenges that wouldn't dispossess an under 12.
Nobody is expecting to go to CP and pull off a shock but what I think we all expect is 100% effort and to see basic defending carried out. What do we work on in training on a weekly basis? We have no defensive shape or structure, the midfield never tracks back to help the defence and going forward we're horrible in possession - We are not a cohesive unit at all.
Can't get too carried away as it's Celtic and there's a huge gulf in class between both sides but after watching that tonight I reckon most if not all Premiership teams would've taken one or two from us.
Worrying.

Admittedly a game we never expected anything from but watching any St Mirren team roll over like that is a disgrace.
All this chat for months about giving OK time with his own team, he should be capable of coaching players to do basics at the bare minimum. We’re now entering into the territory of it no longer being Stubbs’ team and we are still making the same basic errors we were in September. Concerning.
Finally, it’s time for 3/4 genuine quality players with a bit of fight - not faffing about with loan deals for Right Backs when we have 2 already (ironically 2 of our better players!)

He was very guilty of this in our cup game against Aberdeen when JR was still manager, couldn’t believe what I was seeing.

Looks like Paul Lambert is facing competition from himself for Lee's signing going by that sham of an article.

Got real concerns if it is McA. He appears to be constantly injured and has not progressed since moving on. He was good at championship level but we need players who are ready to hit the ground running. 

We are going in to the Alloa, Celtic and Hibs games with holes still all over the squad.
Pretty poor from the club in my opinion to again be underprepared for crucial games. Gus is supposed to working full time on ensuring this type of situation doesn't happen!

I really dislike being negative. The team have clearly done a lot of work to try and get this window as right as possible. 
The route of 'young English lad who can't cut it so got loaned out and didn't appear to do too well at league one or two level either' just feels so much like a path we've been down so often before. Can't be too hard on the guy cos I've not seen him but we've heard it all before.
For 'big clubs looking at him', see Heaton. 
For 'premier league club saw fit to sign him' see Jeff King, Cole Kpekawa, Ellis Plummer, Dominic Shimmin (remember him? Only an injury prevented that one) 
I think we've had our fingers well and truly burned too many times down the years with this type of signing for me to be anything other than completely fatigued by even the idea of it. 

I struggle to put into word how underwhelming that sounds.
22 years old, been on loan at League two level and not scored goals. f**king hell, why are we wasting our time with this level of jobber?

Spot on.

Or he’s an over the hill, injury prone defender that couldn’t get a game at left back in our pitiful team ahead of a 17yr old central midfielder and decided to take the best offer he could which was a team placed 4th in League One.

Shows you the level he's now at when Forfar is his only/preferred option.  A player that seemed to get better in the minds of fans the longer he was out of the picture
