I've got to say it was one of the most peculiar things I've seen at a game.
I wouldn't go as far as disgraceful but surely you're fans should be getting behind your team rather than the opposition. I would prefer to stay behind them and hope the powers that be make the right decisions with regard to coaching peronnel before I'd ever consider supporting the other team in any way.

Mate....we are at the end of our tether with the coach and no balls board.....we get behind our team but at the moment we are all pi$$ed off big style with the dross that is being served up......

Think your getting confused. At no point was anyone cheering Celtic to win. The cheering was toungue in cheek and aimed at having a pop at the players for thier lack of effort.
To some it was seen as a mini protest against the current regime and style of play.

Spot on.
I honestly didn't care if Celtic won last night or not. Not so long ago we were putting 80 on better teams than Celtic.
Our fall in ability is a disgrace.
The only bigger disgrace are some of the players who cannot be bothered.
The fans try and support the team and have done for the last 2 seasons. We are being treated with contempt by the people who owe us their livelehoods. The players, coach and board deserve everything they get. Agars comments are pathetic. You want the fans to cheers the players? You mean like we have done all season for ABSOLUTELY NOTHING. You want to concentrate on slagging of and punishing some of the people that deserve it. And it's most certainly not any of the fans, however they may act or feel. You can start by grabbing a mirror and seeing a major root cause of our current predicament.
I distinctly remember interviewing Lee Radford last season and him saying that after the initial run out onto the pitch all players zone out when it comes to crowd noise, unless it is exceptionally loud.
The last time the noise was at that level was the last home derby win.

Agar and Sharp have to go now. How many last straws are there going to be. Criticising your own fans is not on. They had every right to feel frustrated after the season we've had. We are fast becoming the joke of super league and this has to be rectified now if we don't want next season to go the same way.
Its going to take a top coach to sort this mess out and he needs to be here by the start of pre season training and yes he will have the backing of the fans so long as the team try to entertain, show some guts and look as if they care.
So come on Rule,Hetherington and co, do something about it.

As has been pointed out, no one was 'supporting' Celtic. It was a pisstake. A little protest at the drivel we've had served up by supposedly professional players all season. If they, and the coaching staff, cannot take criticism (however sarcastically delivered), they should find alternative employment.
Christianity: because you're so awful you made God kill himself.
That was a PR disaster of a magnitude that I thought only our board were able to produce, a word in your shell like Rich, If we get tw@ted in the derby game and your team put in the same effort and spirit the have shown in recent games, then theres two possible outcomes, firstly very few will turn up to the next home game or the calls for your head and the feelings for the team and their efforts will grow louder still.
Since the CC victory of 2005, when we looked like breaking the monopoly of the top 4 and our GF appearance the club have praised the fans to the hilt and promised them the earth, and what have they delivered..........absolutly jack all, and understandably patiants are starting to wear just a little thin, and if Agar and the club cant grasp that im worried for our future!!
THE MORAL OF THE STORY IS................YOU GO IN UNDERCOOKED & YOU END UP GETTING ROASTED!!!!!
