More thoughts on WOW's
Scott brown may well turn out to be one of Celtics greatest signings ever, he may not as well.
My question is how can you call him a WOW signing?? We throughout the years have plundered the SPL's best talent which comes as no surprise, so Brown is never a WOW signing. In fact Donati is closer to that mark but hardly a WOW either. Its all very well talking about being more mature with the signings this season. You could read that as we will have quantity over quality?
Strachan is now on team 3 but there is still to many wholesale changes for my liking. Auld Fergie has the right idea. Build a good solid team and supplement it each summer with a few WOW's, not this mass clear out and rebuild. I believe we should still get rid of Pressley,Hartley, Jarosik, Gravesen, Miller, Virgo, Riordan and maybe even Wilson and Caldwell and replace with 4 top quality (WOW) signings and continue with the quality each close season and not mass numbers. Rant over!!

yeth

Bhoy Molloy, you don't like wholesale changes, yet you reckon we should get rid of 9 players.
???
I agree with you on the wow factor, still waiting on that here too.
Hard To Please CSC.

Bhoy_Malloy,
Scott Brown is a GIRFUY signing with a WOW price tag
Hail Hail

Bhoy_Molloy
And if those named individuals don't want to leave without a bumper payoff what then?
-
Bhoy Molloy, why the fixation with WOW signings?
Great for the kids and the newspapers, but they have no correlation to great Celtic teams in the past.

Paul67,
I remember last season "exceptionals" that you peddled. The WOW is the same, the bluechip whatever its called. In the space of 12 months you have went from "exceptional" to a more mature signing policy. Well thats your call. Me, I love to see (i am not greedy) the odd player come here from a top side with a proven track record. There has not been many but its great when it happens.
-
Hi there, new to posting on the ite, but read whenever new articles come on and always enjoy the ensuing debate.
I just subscribed to Channel67 to watch the match tonight and was wondering if anyone else is a subscriber and is it worth it? At £4.99 a month it doesn't seem too pricey anyway.
Paul67, always an informative read, keep up the good work!
Cheers!

Bhoy_Malloy
I don’t think it’s WGS intention to buy and sell on players like you suggest. I’m sure he bought in the likes of Jiri, TG and others to become a permanent part of the team. We all know that some players don’t fit into the jigsaw, but that can only manifest itself on the playing field. Life would be a lot easier if signings turned out the way you hoped they would.
Other signings are stop gaps due to injuries, and not part of the overall plan.

Anybody having trouble with the link to the game?

Thats correct. I wish it did not have to happen but thats how it looks for team 3. Littered with journeymen and very unfortunately 2 failed "exceptionals" This year is a double whammy for me. I am as worried about certain players leaving as I am about the quality coming in.
-
wgs
Is that the channel flix one ? If so then yes.

-
The MLS tv channel is showing the game for $4.95,or~£2.50
I guess the answer to my own question is the game kicks off soon.

Bhoy Molloy, they have their place; they sell tickets and merchandise. I agree with HHBhoy on Scott Brown, he was box office. I would settle for a couple of reliable pros.
Porridgeandbananas, you are very welcome. C67 is excellent.
DD, I’ll ignore that.
-
channelflix is supposed to come on after 8.45
-
Danny,
Yep
-
Paul...Apologies!
-
Porridge,
Ch67 is fine. Comms are a bit inane....but most comms are...:)
Any other link is taking money away from Celtic. Not very responsible.

Like Pressley and Hartley or like Sol Campbell and Ryan Giggs??
-
I am only saying those 2 cause I've heard their names linked.
-
bhoy molloy
consider this
look at boruc and nakamura
imagine u saw them doing what they do for us at other clubs and we signed them.................
they would be "WOW" signings!?!?........i am sure some people would agree they would?
goes to show its not all about WOW signings
JVOH was also probably a WOW signing
-
anyone after a link to the game just go to the celtic forum on bbc. As others have said you need to load the software but seems ok.

Celtic get enough out of me.

Bhoy Molloy Jarosik was never an exceptional player, and Graveson had stopped being one a year or so before we bought him.
It surprises me though that we have been unable to move on either of them. With Jarosik having done well at Bimingham I thought we would be able to move him on easily.
Going back to the wow factor, the last player who genuinely had me really excited at the thought of watching him play for the hoops was Jorge Cadete, as I knew he could score goals for fun in scottish football. It was a shame how things worked out there, he really could have scored a barrowload for us. More than Larsson if he had stayed with us for the same period of time I think.

i don't see it on the mls tv schedule?

No changes at the back.

JVOH was a top drawer signing and will be our no 1 striker next season.
The signings of Gravesen, Jarosik and JVOH last summer was very exciting. Its not really happened yet for me.

We have made these guys WOW signings for other teams if they were to sign them (Spurs or Villa for example), but they were unknowns when they arrived at Celtic Park.
I did not take a sharp intake of breath and go "Ya beauty".
-
it's so much better to have a US Tour game that's not in the middle of the night. The Star Spangled Banner is being played just now.
-
what channel/sites can the game be viewed on this evening ?
-
maleys bhoy, it's on C67.
-
bhoy_molloy,
I share your concerns over the idea of Pressley & Hartley being first picks.
However, I'd like to think that Hartley has been given starts in both US matches because he wasn't involved in the earlier pre-season games in Switzerland & England.
I'd like to think it...
-
Game on live for US Celts on Fox Soccer Channel.
Ch67 resolution is very poor.
So it's FSC for vision. CH67 for audio.
Weather conditions could prove a problem. Weather channel say temps around 80. Probably humid as well.

ah, the huddle. only ten minutes after the Teams came out the Tunnel. Almost ready to go, then.

kickoff. 'mon the Hoops!

Is the game on TV back home?
-
Where and how are you watching it matt?
-
Gweedorebhoy,
I guess we come from different places on that issue. If Celtic are selling it, that's where I'll buy it.
If enough people went the other way, there would be no Celtic.
-
Tidy start by the Fire, Celtic under some pressure already.
-
San Frantic,
No, only on Ch 67.
Lubo.
-
"Cor blimey.
CH67 audio is about 30 secs behind TV.
Bang goes that idea then.
'GG
-
it's not on TV in Scotland, I'm watching seriously grainy pictures on C67. :-(
-
Even, but much more composed start from Celtic.
-
Hartley shot from distance well over.
-
Hartley has a dig from 35 yards out with not much movement in front of him, goes 3 or 4 feet over the Bar.
-
Early days, but....
A reasonable start. Hartley looking busy. Unlike Capone. Surprised that different CB's not being used....
-
Good move , poor cross McGeady
-
911 (999) situation in the Celtic defense
-
Celtic looking a bit more direct.
Magic cross is long.
Playing going from end to end.
Corner to Fire.
-
Corner Chi-town, good punch Boruc
-
Hartley playing himself to difficulty and concedes a corner from just inside his own half. :(
-
Hartley messes up in the middle of the park and ends up giving away a corner.. which nearly lead to a goal .. lucky we have Boruc..
-
No Lennon to blame for the slow build up!!!!!
-
Artur almost caught out with corner.
Phew.
-
I've got Audio link to Ch. 67.
Anyone got a video link that works for Mac?
-
JVOH offside but hammers it home.
Confidence builder?
-
JVOH great goal, offside called - correctly
-
JVoH has the ball in the Onion bag, but the flag was up. good finish, but he was half a yard off as the ball came through
-
testing
-
Quick break from Celtic.
Magic looks energetic.
-
We've had a couple of crosses so far, without really getting anyone in the box challenging for them.
-
Any live feeds folks?
-
Hi Guys
Have been out all day, so haven't read the posts
Is there a URL to the game, even if it's PPV?
Thanks in advance
-
Good passes from Capone. Early doors as they say, but best display I have seen in the US ever. We look like we are better team.
-
Was magic not linked with a move to Fire?
-
sounds like we have started with a bit more urgency tonight.
Wrote a big diatribe earlier, which was lost due to not having a google account and have messed about for an hour sorting it out.
You did not miss anything earth shattering!
Mon the hoops
-
After 20 mins it's been a more positive start from Celtic.
We still haven't troubled the keeper yet.
JVOH and Magic have run a lot without really getting control of a ball.
-
Corner Chicago.
-
Corner came to nothing, some good tackling by Elvis, too.

Looks like a good turnout in the stadium again.
McGeady loses ball in midfield and Fire hit the bar.
-
Fire chip onto the top of the Bar from the edge of the D. goalkick Celtic.
-
Fire stepping it up a litte - looking dangerous.
-
Fire with lot of pressure. Lot os space give up by Defense. Chi skim the bar.
-
FK Celtic
-
not the first time headband has scythed down Aiden.
-
Corner
-
McGeady fouled outside box. Free kick about 12 yards from line.
Big men up. Headed for corner.
-
Another corner
-
heavy Challenge on McGeady, Freekick Celtic about 8 yards out near the left touchline. Comes in, headed behind, Corner Celtic.
-
Sanfran
Aren't Fire regarded as a very poor team in the MLS this year?
-
Any feeds guys?? PLEASE??
-
nice wee move ... just overhit by Al. Coming more into the game.
-
El Diego yeah they are not doing so well.
-
Corner Fire. They head wide
-
1 nil Fire. Balnco
-
goal Fire.
-
Goal Fire.
Centre of defence AGAIN.
-
All in slo-mo.
-
-
Ran on to his own pass. Played through Fire player off side so Blanco goes after ball. Celtic defense reacted too late.
-
Centre of defence slept ... very disappointing.
-
their striker was well off as a ball was played towards him, and the Celtic defence stopped. but the guy who'd played the ball through ran onto it himself and went round Boruc.
-
Could have been called off side he ran after it once he saw his own player ould not cos he knew he was amile offside.
Fire lifted. Celtic can still win this one. Great ball Capone
-
i know it's all about fitness but we need to get into the routine of shutting up shop at the back.
we are conceding every game.
we have a 2 legged cup final in a couple of weeks time.
the chance has been lost tonight.
We cannot allow this run to continue in defence or we are going to struggle.
Emjay
-
The Chi-lites have a record of 4-8-4,so they're not setting the heather on fire.They're bottom of the Eastern Division,and are averaging less than a goal a game.
Heather Locklear.Hot,but not on fire.
-
Commentators being nice about our poor display last week. Altitude etc. better display today. Against poorer opposition mind you. MLS all stars are a good team
-
Corner Celtic. Capone to take.
-
More Keystone Celts n defense Boruc punches clear
-
who are the main perpetrators of this defending?
I keep saying and saying we need a cb
Can not blame the heat for basic mistakes which it what it sounds like running through onto his own ball
-
What are they for,these games?
Fitness?
Bonding?
Bedding in new players?
Gladhanding the locals?
Trying out new tactics and formations?
-
Emjay
By the sounds of it.We are not creating a lot either.
I will get my first chance this season to us live on Thursday.However ,just like last season i am concerned.
The thing is, this year ,we won't have Neil lennon for the big games.He provided much need protection for the back four ,and he kept possession so that we could build up play,and not be constantly under pressure.
My one shining light is that we did win the double after a dismal pre season.
I wonder who can be blamed for our slow ponderous build up's now.
-
JK and Mick starting center backs for me - elvis has left the building along time ago!
-
Good save by Boruc after the ball came to an unmarked Fire forward at the edge of the box.
-
carved open again. lost in mid. Pressley should have been carded for pull back.. Boruc earns his corn again
-
What is the team?
-
predictions for the final score i think it will end 3-1 chicago fire
what aboot u
-
Half time at Toyota Park:
Chicago Fire 1 Celtic 0
Blanco (30)
Not a bad team performance by Celtic so far, certainly looking a lot more composed than on Thursday. Chicago's goal a product of the offside trap being caught out. Celtic however by no means out of this game.
-
We are managing to be as slow and uninspired in mid without N. Lennon going fwd without the protection he offered.
-
------------Celtic FC Chicago Fire
Total Shots:-------3---------9
Shots on Goal:----0---------3
Total Saves:-------2---------0
Fouls:---------------3---------7
Offsides:-----------2---------1
Corner Kicks:-----3---------3

Pressley can be embarrassing sometimes....:( Little is working for Aiden. I don't see Capone getting a contract.....and it seems like a long time since we got a real good game out of Mark Wilson.
The biggest weakness that I can see is that the ball NEVER sticks with the strikers. JVOH doesn't hold it up that well.....and majic is made of chocolate. He never wins or keeps a ball when there is an opponent in the neighbourhood.
This is not a bad game, though. Hartley is busy, as is Brown in fits and starts.

ANYONE got a link to this game??
Really wanna see second half...

Dontbratbackinanger.
I understand where you are coming from,but there doesn't seem to be any improvement in performance or tactical awareness.
We were caught cold against Artmedia.
Unless we shape up ,we are in danger of losing the biggest matches of our season.
Nothing is better for bonding than winning.Lets face it we are not facing Liverpool,Chelsea or Man U here.
This is bottom of the league outfit,from a very ordinary league.
Surely it's not too much to expect some shot's on goal ,and for us to create some chances.

Thats all he does, is foul on the edge of the box. How he is still with us and being considered a first choice is mind boggling. He really is an example of the old pals act.

does anyone know why my ch67 is now showing the Basle game?
