Good looking side today. (Are all tims good lookin? :)

We're wearing the Hoops - yessssssss.
-
mncelt
I notice Kenny Miller is a bit better looking these days.
-
Afternoon all.
Really looking forward to this, but what a shambolic production Setanta is.
-
Off to watch the first half.
Just wanted to mention 2 things from last thread;-
Paul- loved the Celticico tag - if you invented it , give us the prronunciation.
Kitalba- a very reasonable appeal for some forms of self censorship. I can go along with some of what you say. Still puzzled by UEFA's depiction of "pro-republican" chants. I don't think that's very carefully chosen or legally watertight nor is it the opposite offence to Ranger's sectarian chants. Clarification is needed from both our club and UEFA.
-
slack back pass by Caldwell cleared by Boruc.
-
Nice play by TG, set up Naka but shot blocked
-
Great chance for TG.
Should have hit it first time.
-
Good pressure from Celtic with nice play by Gracesen and Naka. Who the f*** are man U being sung :-)
-
Naylor just flattened diamond with a shot...right in the coupon.
-
Good shot by Naylor poleaxe's Diamong
-
Aberdeen showing absolutely nothing.
-
bit of retribution by TG there - lucky not to get booked
-
Gravesen getting a warning for hee-haw....nothing challenge.
McGeady looking a bit lax.
-
Chance for Aberdeen, cross from the right headed back across the six yard box but no Aberdeen players connected. Good counter attack from Wilson.
-
Great effort by Aiden from 30yds - just wide
-
Great shot from McGeady just past the right hand post, chance set up by Gravesen.
-
Gravesen is a real presence in the team already.
-
Oh Tommy Tommy
Tommy Tommy Tommy Tommy Graveson!
Excellento Celtico!
-
FK in Naka territory
-
off wall - poor effort
-
66% possession by Celtic so far,
-
Tommy g looks a cert for a booking today.
-
Great chance for TG - last minute tackle prevents goal. TG is a player !!!
-
20 mins. Gravesen just won the ball in the middle of the park, collected a bad ball from McGeady and made a chance for himself.
Celtic have had most of the ball but are still looking for cohesion. Gravesen and Vennegoor of Hesselink both look good on the ball.
-
Last ditch tackle by Anderson on Gravesen with only the keeper to beat . Gravesen made the chance himself by dispossessing an Aberdeen player.
-
Congratulations Noel90 :)
loved the pic of young Martin, got the strip on Thu no socks!
Graveson looking great, would have been nice to see him score great tackle from Anderson!
-
we'll score from this corner
-
Corner Celtic - good play again by TG.
-
ah well
-
Celtic stepping up a gear. Powerful play. Aberdeen set up to defend and doing it well so far. Only a matter of time before we score. Tommy G taking the game by the scruff of the neck. Excellent debut so far.
Come on the Celts!

Half time:
Aberdeen 0-0 Celtic
So far so good. Celtic are getting better the longer the game goes on. Naka is playing in the middle, both Jan and Thomas look in the mood.
Setting the bears, 12:38, can we refine that pronunciation to sell-teek-i-co
-
half time 0-0
-
Paul,
Wasn't a stonewaller but I've seen them given.
VB
-
Totally dominant. Don't think we'll see a load of goals today, but we'll get one or two if we keep plugging away.
-
Curly posted that the aberdeen fans he met last night were confident about today's game. Were they wearing black and carrying whistles, Curly?
The penalty award was just one of a string of mistakes, Lee Miller was allowed to get a shot in when he was clearly off side and there have been 3 bizarre throw ins awarded against Celtic.
Come on the Celtic-iko's
-
the midfield is a lot more flexible with everyone covering each other/swapping roles. Will be good to see this developing.
Thomas seems to enjoy his football !!

Let's call out his name, Tommy G, Tommy G
Tommy G fae denmark, Tommy G, Tommy G
He'll be driving on the Celtic team forever, wait and see
Now he's a Celticico, the immortal Tommy G
Do the Saw Doctors protect their copyright as much as celtic do?

HT Aberdeen 0-0 Celtic
Not a great game - both teams playing well defensively and keeping scoring chances down. Not sure either keeper has had a save to make.
JVoH and Magic not getting much in the way of service - we might see KM on there in 2nd half to give us some extra pace up front.
Aberdeen have nothing up front and seem to be looking to contain Celtic and try and sneak a goal
Boruc - Nothing to do
Naylor - Steady
Mick - Needs to stop punting the ball up the park - otherwise steady
Caldwell - One slip early in game but playing well
Wilson - Not put under pressure - could be giving us more going forward (As could Naylor)
Aiden - In and out of game but working harder than anyone else
Lennon - Always good use of the ball
Graveson - Great 1st half hour and then went a bit quiet
Maka - Needs to do better. Has had a tendency to get dispossesed too easily in last couple of games
JVoH - Not getting much service and finding it hard to find space in the box
Magic - Needs to get into wider positions and work harder
Need to step up a gear on second half or this is going to run out 0-0
-
Everton 2-0 up on liverpool coming up to HT.
-
Is Riordan on the bench ?
-
Yes
-
30 secs in to game and already 2 hopefull punts up park by Mick
Good chance for Magic - missed

setting free the bears,
What about "The green and white of Celtic...." to the tune of "The green and red of Mayo....."
Love them Saw Doctors.
Second half prediction:
Celtic to win by who knows?
-
I'm stuck in a concrete bunker near the M42 in birmingham.
Much as I love CQN, this is the first time I've ever had to follow a game on it. It's torture.
I can't see anything or hear anything, just you guys teasing me with your snippets!!
murder!
come on Celtic!!!
-
Riordan and Miller warming up.
-
miller coming on shortly
-
55 mins. McGeady brought down in the box, stonewaller not given.
-
that was another penalty.
-
kenny coming on for majic
-
Time for a change - Miller on for Magic
-
Magic off and rightly so. Naka next as he is not involved.
-
No penalty - good tackle.
-
Naka not giving us much today.
-
I can see young derek replacing Naka if we don't get the breakthrough.
Aberdeen making it difficult.
-
60 mins. Celtic still have lots of the ball, but are not creating anything. Aberdeen are defending very deep.
-
Naylor looks in trouble - got a knock on the face
-
If we are finding it so tough to create against Aberdeen then whats Wednesday going to be like? The lack of movement up front and the lack of support when the ball is up there is shocking.
-
TG booked for a nothing challenge
-
65 mins. Vennegoor setup Gravesen who shot well, keeper saved.
-
Good play by JVoH and a shot from TG well saved - first save of the game?
-
Is Riordan on the bench?
-
TG should have squared to Kenny. Naka looks exhausted - Pearson to add some much-needed oomph?
-
I would bring on Riordan for Naka and go 4-3-3. We are crying out for something different.
-
This is murder!
Finished work now so will get the denouement on the wireless!
Come on the Hoops!
-
Dire performance - 20 mins to go
-
dontbratt,
ain't you the lucky one!!!!
come on the hoops
-
Shot by TG saved. He should have played Miller or McGeady in
-
Great ball in from Wison - no-one challenged for it
-
mncelt - must disagree, its very difficult when you are away from home and the opposition are delighted with a draw. 14 shots to 1 in celtics favour, dominated the game, just not got in behind two often. One centre midfielders debut and our centre forwards first start. give them a break.
-
15 mins left. Not much invention from the team or WGS.
-
GOAL JHoH
-
ya dancerrrrrrrrrrr
-
Great!
-
dire performance?? on you go big jan......
-
GOOOOOOAAAAAL!
-
Amen!!
-
Looking very much like 0-0 :0(
Bit of magic (or a mistake) will win it.
C'mon Celtic 10 minutes to go.
Goal goal goal as I write !!!!!
-
Good play from Miller - shot from edge of box went through a few players and under keeper. More than we deserve today
-
Great goal for the Celts. JVOH got just what he needed: Kenny Miller!
-
Still think Naka should have been hooked ages ago, more so now but I would bring on Jarosik. I want Jarosik to get more time on the pitch so he can find his form.
-
Bhoy Molly
good point
-
mncelt
There's only one team trying to win the game.
-
Soft goal but hats off to JVoH for having a go & to Kenny - perseverence, rode a foul, stayed on his feet & squared for JVoH.
We need to play more keep-ball now - the game's too open.
-
Hats off too the away support!
-
5 mins to go
-
Shocking defending. 2 dons players standing unmarked.
-
Save of the century by Lee Naylor!
-
shocking defending - free header from a corner - again demonstrating our need for balde back and another centre half!!!!
still aberdeen dont deserve anything from the game.
-
Keep the ball Celtic!
-
EDB - Agreed - Said that at HT. Aberdeen are a lot worse than us.
Aberdeen almost scored. I think it was Naylor than cleared off the line, then McManus cleared off our own post.
-
Aberdeen deciding to play now inside the last 5 mins
Pearson on for JVoH
-
3 mins to be added
-
This is no' good for my auld ticker - desperate defending.
Blow the whistle, referee !!!
-
Naylor kept his eye on the ball superbly
-
I am not impressed by Strachans lack of tactics. Naka has struggled in the second half yet we bring on Pearson on 90 minutes for our best player at holding the ball up front JVoH.
-
Full time:
Aberdeen 0-1 Celtic
Excellent result, a Kenny Miller run stretched the Aberdeen defence to make space for Jan.
-
The best team won CELTIC!!!!!
-
full time 1-0
-
FT 1-0
-
great 3 points - hard fought game, deserved winners
-
..... and breathe
-
Aberdeen deserved to lose this game. They had only started to push forward after we scored. The way our defence is all over the place they should be kicking themselves for not going for it from the start.
Celtic struggled to break them down and WGS offered no alternatives. Wednesday could be painful.
-
If Aberdeen played like that in every home game few teams would take anything from Pittodrie. That was a good three points won today.
-
EDB
Thats Aberdeen's first loss at home since Dec. of last year.
-
Great 3 points.
Our defense only had to cope with 10 minutes of pressure and almost fell to bits!!!
Who the hell are Man United??
Hmmmmmm.............

Any team going to Old Trafford will find it tough. Not just us. Chill out and enjoy. Today was way more important than Wednesday.

3 points is 3 points, but we were severly lacking in the guile needed to open up Aberdeen. As for Aberdeen, if they always play like that they will not win any games. They might not lose many either but they will be dire to watch. As I said, they deserved to lose they played a cowards game.
-
mr angry
Are you happy today:o)
-
A hard fought 3 points. Given that we were the only team looking to win the game, Aberdeen got what they deserved. A poor performance considering they were at home.
Celtic worked hard to a man but struggled to create chances. The goal was no more than a half chance but that's what you get when you pay big bucks for a proven goal scorer. Well done to Kenny Miller for getting into the think of it and creating the opportunity for JVoH.
We are going to need to improve substantially on Wednesday - no reason why we can't by taking encouragement from getting 3 points in Aberdeen.
Good debut by TG - he is going to make a big difference to our play.
-
I'm well pleased at the performance and the result.
Celtic were going for it non-stop. Nakamura started better than McGeady, then fell away as McGeady's game picked up.
I thought Gravesen was man of the match. Immense energy and much better on the ball than I remembered.
JVOH is a match winner, as Big Eck just said.
-
Hope that's dampened the pre match atmosphere at ibrox.
Looking forward to hearing the bitter comments of that poisoned,strangely brown dwarf Jimmy Calderwood.
-
Nobody's claiming it was great but it was the best of our 3 away performances so far because we attacked more. We had a stonewall penalty in the first half but Mcgeady was crowded out legitimately in the 2nd- no pen. It would also have been harsh to award a pen. against Naylor when he headed off the bar and it dropped on to his arm- no intentional movement.
While overall tactics were reasonable, I share other poster's surprise at Naka lasting 90 mins. In an away fixture especially with that performance, and I am a fan of his play.
We're back on track with the points accumulation I asked for after the Hearts defeat. We're not yet there with performance but, what the hell, it's only Man U next.
-
Agreed. Excellent resu;t. Setanta saying we "ground it out." Bull. Aberdeed defended with eleven behind the ball for most of the game and never tested Boruc until late.
We never looked in any trouble in this one until that bit at the end, but I would disagree to an extent about shocking defending. Our man on the line (Naylor) did his bit, our man on the post (McManus) did his. In fact, the ball fell BEHIND McManus and he did not panic. He very calmly brought it down and hooked it away.
No fears here about the future of this team. Once the forward line has a chance to gell they will run riot. Setanta also said that Lennon was annonymous. Say rather than Gravesen did much of the work Lenny usually does
Gravesen looks like a class act. Anyone who thinks he will not score goals a la Petrov should think again. He will score plenty. His workrate is tremendous.
He's on TV right now. "This team gives me everything I've ever wanted." He thanked the fans for the reception. Said he just wants to fit into the team.
Gravesen wins Man of The Match.
JVOH gives him the champers.
There will be plenty more of it before the season ends.

Just listened to Tommy G. What a great Celtic loving guy. Would love a night out with him - especially if he brings his burd!
EDB
-
I agree with the comments they're making now about Anderson. A very fine performance.
We've been heavily linked with Diamond for a while. I'd take Anderson on today's showing.
-
Not that I'm advocating going for a player based on one showing.
Eck said Anderson is an Aberdeen lad with a young family up there and that "he just didn't find the right club when his contract was up".
Maybe Eck bid for him and was told to get lost.
-
not a good game. Naka looks like he doesn't want to play with SPL teams, he's not that gay from last season. I'm little disappointed with JVoH today. He has scored a great goal but too many times he looses the ball (especially in air) and his passing isn't good. But he's a strong player and we need him up front.
Kenny Miller and Maciej Zurawski both play indifferently. Magic runs a lot but he's not geeting much service, His first touch was terrible today. Kenny looks better after NT games but still he's not as good at Celtic as he is in NT. He's trying too hard.
I'm impressed with Thomas Gravesen play. He looks great but sometimes he played selfish :-) Lenny had a descent game but I would rather go with Jarosik/Gravesen than Lenny/Gravesen.
Oh! I almost forget! the referee was terrible! 2 pens at least. But who cares? We've got 3 points.
Hail! Hail!

Everton beat Liverpool 3-0.
-
Good result - a goal always changes the game & at 0-0 Aberdeen were always going to stick to their game plan. Given that TG & Jan haven't had more than a few hours to train with their new teammates I thought both were excellent (although TG will be the first to say that on two occasions he could hve played teammates in instead of shooting). Jan has just scored two important goals for us - a happy knack. Naka looked out of sorts to me. Quick suggestion to Gordon - we need someone on the edge of the opposition penalty area for all dead-ball situations, unbelievable how often the ball dropped into that area today.

The comments on Naka are not entirely fair. He started very well and looked every bit the match-winner.
He was picking things up and on one occasion had a great chance, but it broke on his right foot and he chose not to shoot from 18 yards. If it had been on his left I bet he'd have scored. He should have gone for it anyway.
Aberdeen's first shot on goal, blocked 12 yards out, came on 74 minutes. Their fans must be very disappointed in them.
To be fair to Jimmy C, not that I'm a fan, he has gone for it against us in the past and had a real doing. Today, they obviously wanted a point and played for 0-0.
-
EDB:
Totally agree, on all counts! She must have some tidy mates as well. I say we invite Tommy to next year's big CQN night, on the caveat that she comes and brings some of them.
That result from Merseyside is a real shocker. Andy Johnston (Tommy Gravesen look-alike) scored two. He looks like being a good signing. Liverpool, yet again, look set to underachieve in the EPL.
Speaking of which, thought the Troops in the Hoops were great today = especially slagging off Man Utd.
-
Shaun's imminent comeback might allow us to do something about Naka in these situations.
3:0 for Everton v Liverpool:- a couple of comments.
a) 2 goal for Andy Johnson- some Championship strikers can step up, let's hope KM is another.
b) Liverpool were as good as Man U last year- so where is the worrry?
SFTB taking crumbs of comfort wherever he can.
-
Don't want to hark back to the past but if we'd played like and won the game 3 years ago there would be congratulatory back slaps all round.
How things change!
I thought we played very well in the first half, in fact if Kenny Miller had started we'd have made the breakthrough earlier.
Graveson made an impressive debut and McGeady looked like a player. Bit more care and attention from both of them on their final ball.
I also thought McManus and Caldwell played well, especially Caldwell.
Big players such as Bobo, Jarosik and Maloney still to contribute.
Lets hope this is the start of a good consistent run of form.
-
ps
Jimmy Calderwood should be sacked for that formation today, a disgraceful way for an SPL top 6 side to approach a game.
He's making Jim Jefferies look jovial these days.
-
Strachan on Setanta:
"Considering Thomas only met his mates yesterday and Jan has only been here a week, like Lee, they are doing just fine."
"25 yards out today, we weren't at our best .......... but the rest of the performance was excellent."
"Could someone explain that performance, then?" - in relation to questions about Lenny and Gravesen's ability to function in the same team. "I don't know why I answer these questions."
-

El Diego Bhoy,
Last time it was Wojiech Kowalewski from Spartak Moscow, and he recieved great notes.

-
EDB:
Ha! Not THAT young .........
-
Naka needs a wee kick up the jacksie! If you're asking what have people done for you lately then Naka has to be the prime candidate for not much.
He'll be dropping out the side when Maloney comes back if he doesn't buck up his ideas.
Lenny and Gravesen doesn't work - not that the styles don't work just that Lennon isn't working in the midfield. Too slow and offers nothing at all offensively, I mean he's always been slow but it's getting dangerous how slow he has become. Against top teams we will be punished yet we need someone like him to play againstgood attacking sides.
Hope he gets his second wind as we don't really have another player like him that is 100% ready to come into the 1st team.
-
P.S. Thought Gravesen was excellent, do worry about him missing games through suspension though. We need two Gravesen types in the centre of midfield.

3:0 for Everton v Liverpool:- a couple of comments.
a) 2 goal for Andy Johnson- some Championship strikers can step up, let's hope KM is another.
Andy Johnson was already a top class scorer in the EPL with Crystal Palace, Miller had a stinker in the EPL with Wolves
b) Liverpool were as good as Man U last year- so where is the worrry?
ManU have had a tremendous start to the season and our defence still looks dire
SFTB taking crumbs of comfort wherever he can.
-
A great 3 points.
Gravesen was tremendous.
Well done to our support today.Were noisy throughout the game without resorting to any add-ons etc.
-
The Pookah
We might well need Kenny's nuisance value, or strong runing if you prefer, in closing down breaks from defence by the likes of Ferdinand.
I prefer Magic because of his goal threat but he's not in peak form just now and he might not get the service he needs on Wednesday. Still a good option from the bench when it's 0:0 with 10 mins. to go and we're looking for the winner.
-
Surely next Saturday should see full use of the squad. Jarosik, Riordan and maybe even Sno should feature. How far away is JK, Balde, and Maloney?
-
Bhoy Molloy
I need a dose of your reality like I need a hole in the head. Old Trafford will be hard enough. Your points are quite justified but what good will they do us?
Our team and our fans will need the confidence of expecting a point or a win. There is no intention of going there for an honourable narrow defeat. I have no doubts that our away fans share your realism but they'll leave it at the door when they head for OT. I am equally confident that serious hard headed pros like Neil and Tommy G will look at them and say- "Aye, they're good but we're better!"
SFTB who thinks realism is overrated
-
rangers 0-0 5 mins gone only 85 to go or 95 if they need a goal and miss the 3 penalties they will probably be awarded.
-
Without taking anything away from the efforts of Anderson and Diamond today had they been wearing the Hoops they would both have been sent off and conceded at least 2 penalties.
EDBwhoisalsoknownasmrimpartial
-
Thought we looked OK in the 1st half without doing anything special but the 2nd half was poor. We let the game get dragged down to a walking pace which suited Aberdeen, we really needed someone to take the game to them.
-
ah don't be too harsh on Naka, things didn't come off for him today but he's generally been fine. Don't forget he's had two 16 hour flights this week to get to and back from international duty. It does take it's toll out of you.
All the same, you could see it wasn't going to work out for Naka today so i thought it would have been a good idea to bring on Riordan for him and move Mcgeady onto the right.
Gravesen had a great debut but he could have set up McGeady and Miller for a goal today but took a shot instead, he didn't see McGeady though. This isn't a critism of him, when he gets to know his team mates he'll see them and things will be looking even more greener.
Chuffed with the result :)

I watched this game with one eye on ManU, maybe I should take it one game at a time, but my big concern was that we found it very difficult to create any decent moves even with all the possession we had.
I however believe that that game will be more open and because of this I think Miller should start ahead of Magic.
-
TMC-2.57 pm-
"Jimmy Calderwood should be sacked for that formation today, a disgraceful way for an SPL top 6 side to approach a game."
Well said.
I thought Tommy was treeeeeeeemendous today.
I thought Naka should have been hooked for Riordan early in the second half.
Bring on The Red Devils.

Just back from the game. Good win, excellent job Bhoys.Team looks much more solid throughout, less panicky in defence. Tommy G. did very well for his first start.
McGeady overcooked things a bit.
Great job Kenny for setting up the goal.He should start on Wednesday. CL away games are made for him. Jan keep pulling the trigger, man.
For the second game in a row Strachan made the right substitution.Intelligent.
Away fans,terrific.
We better get used to the Aberdeen style, most teams in the SPL will adopt it when playing against this Celtic team.
The other lot will not pick up 3 points at Pittodrie, cause the reds dont lie down to them.
For Wednesday we should be playing 4-5-1 with Miller siitting behind Jan and making diagonal thrusts into Man U's defence.
Lets hope we get the draw.
-
Setting Free the Bear,
I do not need to tell you,my friend...that I have been scathingly critical of Mr. Miller's Past performances.....
Nevertheless, We are not altogether wedded, to that damning opinion..... We are quite capable of encouraging and congratulating a player, whom we deem to be is putting on a pleasing show....
Mr. Miller, in our not so humble opinion...... Won the Game, with his chasing down the ball and providing the telling pass.....to Jayvoh!
If Mr. Miller's sole role, in slotting into the attack, is to be one of a PROVIDER...instead of a Striker........ THEN I CAN ASSURE YOU..... if he repeats what He has done today...... WE WILL BE WELL PLEASED.......We can certainly live with a type of player that Mr. Miller is beginning to show us that he is........
Our previous opinion of Mr. Miller was based on his being SOLELY A STRIKER...... now our eyes have been opened....albeit, Belatedly, to Mr. Miller's true role in the team's attacking formation.
It looks to us that Mr.Miller can/could be the missing piece in the Jigsaw, that we have been searching for.
He can set 'em up.....and Jayvoh and possibly Mr. Clean, as well... can certainly ...knock 'em in!
Sounds good to me?
You Bettyah!

Bardsley just scored for the Gers against Falkirk.
Is it a mortal or venial sin to include one of them in your Herald fantasy football team as I am feeling guity about earning points by his actions?
While I'm confessing, I'll own up to predicting a 3:0 win for rangers on Bet predictor. Forgive me father!
SFTB whose dislike of realism doesn't extend to betting and competitions, though I would never bet against Celtic. My father told me that's the 11th commandment.

Japan had games with Saudi Arabia in Saudi Arabia and Yemen in Yemen. I was wrong about him going to Japan, but it was still a lot of travelling to play in key matches in such a short space time.

I thought we did OK against a 5-5 formation.
Tango man must have forgotten his 2-8 formation.Sorry I have just realised the game wasn't at Ibrox.
Gravesen looks like he can do the defensive and attacking job in most SPL games.
Was today the end for Lennon as a first choice?
JVOH has already won 4 points for us.
It would be a shame if our best players were young loan players from England.

Just saw Morton went 1:0 up but it was not wee McGowan who scored. Some player called Greacen.
Wonder if it's Morton's 2000th goal.

Brilliant performances today from Tommy G and Aindeninho.
Posted missing (again) Nakamura and Magic.
Honourable mention to Kenny Miller who increased the pace of the play and ultimately created the winning goal.
I thought Gary Caldwell was immense today. You can only citicise Aberdeen for not creating chances for so long before you have to give the Celtic defense credit for winning crucial ariel challenges to prevent danger from being created. For me Caldwell excelled in this aspect of the game.
I think Kenny Miller has done enough today to ensure a starting slot at Old trafford. Magic has frankly been rank rotten since the season began and a spell on the bench is required.
I also think Nakamura needs to be dropped for Wednesday as he contributes almost nothing in a defensive capacity and on Wed night we will be on the back foot for long spells. I also think a spell out the team should follow for Naka when Maloney is fit. His form has been poor since the world cup.
All in all I'm happy with the showing today. A difficult away fixture. Good debut from TG and another goal from JVOH.
Also a word for the often criticised away support. It was noticable that the add-ons to the Maley song were not being sung and the bhoys gave the team great encouragment and created a great atmosphere despite the half empty home end.
Let the people sing.
