Not in my opinion, no....

Night and day from our last performance at Parkhead. Referee took every chance he had to ensure a Celtic win today.
Thought Doyle Hayes played with plenty energy and bite. He has given himself a chance to start in the next game and can hopefully stay fit.
Did anyone expect an anything but a 0 point return today.
More disappointed with the 🔴
We don’t qualify for Europe with games vs the OF.
Onwards to Motherwell at home.

Just back from the game, hibees were immense today, you can’t ask more from ten men at parkhead. Proud of the club today, stood up to wave after wave of attack. Fair play to Lee not taking any pish and sticking up for his players and club. Always get the impression Celtic want everyone to turn up and just roll over to them while they get jizzed over for spanking everyone. Hopefully Lee has seen this is how we need to play the old firm home and away.
What he says is fine, and without having seen the game, seems an accurate assessment. “Final third entries” and “box entries” is like a computer has written answers for him though. Unique phrases aside, he talks a lot of sense and slowly starting to back up that talk.
Tell you what...after the last visit there I left angry, disillusioned and fed up with MY team. Today I left frustrated and annoyed with the officiating and the attitudes in
this country when it comes to the 2 establishment favourites.
Today we saw the biggest library in Scotland find the volume button after nearly 90 minutes of entitled sweetie paper rustling.
I wonder what attracted the 60,000 book borrowers from Dublin, Arbroath, East Lothian and Inverness to the Glasgow Celtic?
Glory hunting weirdos...
Definitely. And despite being unfairly hampered for most of the Match they executed pretty well. However any intended subs probably changed as soon as the red was given...as the intention of attacking was replaced by the need to defend for longer then he definitely planned
Good to see Hibs are questioning the decision's today .

If Hanlon impeded Carter Vickers it was before the corner was taken, he's almost on the deck by the time it was taken. Ref not even looking at it either but still gave penalty.

I think it’s really soft in the end. And McLean must have eyes in the side of his head. But I also thought it was really poor from Hanlon. He was wrong side, not looking at the ball. Gave the boy a chance to buy it, similar to the one Porteous got against Aberdeen earlier in the season.
Funny how Hanlon ended up booked for it but Starfelt didn’t get booked for his one.
McLean was a disgrace today. I thought Johnson should have been stronger with his comments afterwards. Missed our penalty, gave them one that wasn’t and an absolutely disgraceful sending off.
It is poor from Hanlon in that sense.hes an experienced defender and shouldn't be wrong side there. Also, the marking in the second pic is horrendous. Stevenson has lost his man and there is another unmarked coming in.
Don't think it was a pen, but I don't think Hanlon's position helped.
Pretty gutted for, that all we stood up to today, we’ve been done by two corners. And at both, we survived a VAR check following the award of both corners as well.
Expected nothing heading through but to get so close to getting something, having put in so much, was a sore one.
Had a really interesting chat today with a random person next to me (who was great company). He was reconciling how he wanted LJ sacked and now doesn’t and is struggling to deal with that - might be on here for all I know. Think the point I’m making is it’s ok to change your mind with something Hibs related.
McLean's quick reaction to the penalty that was overturned and Marshall's yellow card was a strange one , I'm sure Cliff pike said he was 30 or 40 yards away from it , makes you wonder how he was so sure it was a penalty?
Massive 4 games coming up for us. Could be sitting in the driving seat for a 3rd place finish, or could see us end up finishing in the bottom 6 come the split. We have got to win the home derby when it arrives. Pleased we are still in the hunt , having just cane through back to back games against the Huns and the soapdodgers.. would be absolutely fantastic if we were to finish 3rd , be the weirdest season ever as well..
Spot on .. To be in with a fighting chance of 3rd/4th as we enter the final round of fixtures seems crazy given our position and general mood in the camp tail end of last year.
Like you im not saying i think we will get 3rd , but its all to play for and we have at least given ourselves lots to play for. If ever there was a derby match to go and win for a complete change in mentality at both clubs then the next one is just that. Would be massive for Lee Johnson, and give us some payback from the last couple seasons derby performances.
Thought Johnson got his set up right today and the red card killed it for him. However, thought he maybe made a mistake in bringing Hoppe on out of the three available strikers. And, I might be wrong on this bit, but am I right in thinking that although you can make 5 subs, you can only stop the game three times to do so? Hence why we couldn’t bring Myko or Nisbet on towards the end.
We just look like a proper team again.
We have a spirit and dare I say a bit of siege mentality. I like the fact that the CEO is putting pressure on the officials. We have had some shockers recently.
Going into livi game was expecting we would be c8 points or worse behind Hearts when we got out at this point. Not only have we not lost ground but they are imploding and talking about crisis player meetings.
We have four winnable games coming up before the split including a derby that is now critical. 10 points before the break and we will be very close to 3rd.
Where is jonnyboy's analysis today?
It was a great defensive effort for the most part, under that much pressure we were really compact and difficult to play through for large parts - considering the possession they had in the final third.
Credit for that. Going down to 10 and a referee determined to make things right after the audacity to give us a pen - It was a fight we couldn't win. His apologetic booking of 'Oh' for removing his shirt said it all to me. Everyone knows its a booking. He knows. Just book him.
Really minor moan here, but for the Celtic 2nd goal in the build up to the corner, Lewis could easily have punted it for a throw. Gives away a corner a bit cheaply and when you’re defending 15 corners, you’re gonna switch off or lose your battle once or twice.
As I say, minor niggle but just annoyed me watching it back
Lee Johnson - Not something I want to do . If it wasn't LJ that put the ball on the park , I wonder who did .
