    Barry piles into Dailly - fully 15 secs gone

     
  • At 16/04/08 19:48, Blogger The Narrowbhoat Tim said…

    Rangers tried to cheat from the start by taking a quick kick off while a Celtic player was tying his bootlace.

    Robson gets right into Dailly face from the start.

     
  • At 16/04/08 19:50, Blogger Cubist Funk said…

    First 2 mins played in our half

    RFC corner comes to nothing

     
  • At 16/04/08 19:52, Blogger Cubist Funk said…

    RFC unsurprisingly going to target Andreas in the air via McCullough

    hey there, does anyone here know where i can listen to some live commentary for the match?

    im here in the states, and cant find any outlet right now....mabye some streaming radio?

    STAND UP FOR THE CHAMPIONS!!!!!!!!!

     
  • At 16/04/08 19:54, Blogger The Narrowbhoat Tim said…

    The plan seems to be feed Aiden the ball at every opportunity.

    He looks up for it.

     
  • At 16/04/08 19:55, Blogger The Narrowbhoat Tim said…

    Dave google livefooty and watch it

     
  • At 16/04/08 19:56, Blogger Cubist Funk said…

    Paul H chaperones Darcheville away in our box - good play - Barry looks off the pace - Gary seeing a lot of the ball

     
  • At 16/04/08 19:57, Blogger The Narrowbhoat Tim said…

    Naka puts JVH in on goal and he fluffs it.

     
  • At 16/04/08 19:58, Blogger Cubist Funk said…

    Whittaker & Broadfoot doubling up on Aiden - will be a real challenge for him

    Naka lovely lazy drifted pass - JVOH steps over ball - would have been 1-on-1

     
  • At 16/04/08 19:58, Blogger hoopla said…

    JVoH thru on goal but fails to control it...

    oh i hate this lot

     
  • At 16/04/08 19:59, Blogger hoopla said…

    LOL - Wittaker and Broadfoot going to need some reinforcements against Aiden by the looks of things...

     
  • At 16/04/08 20:01, Blogger Cubist Funk said…

    After first 2 mins it been mostly midfield & in their half

    Hartley booked for foul on McCulloch.

    Looked worse than it actually was.

    Deserved booking though.

    Hartley booked for scratching Elbows McCulloch

     
  • At 16/04/08 20:02, Blogger LenSpol said…

    Agh! working late so cant see this, but delighted about hartley and robson in midfield

     
  • At 16/04/08 20:03, Blogger The Narrowbhoat Tim said…

    Hartly booked against McCullouch, he is rolling around like a wee lassie but replay shows Zico did not touch him.

     
  • At 16/04/08 20:03, Blogger Cubist Funk said…

    Paul gets yellow - foot was threatening but no contact - McCullough hit by sniper - another soft tissue issue - perhaps something to do with the hygiene at RFC?

     
  • At 16/04/08 20:05, Blogger Kojo said…

    Celtic have to score, to make the G.A. come out and play..

    The G.A. are playing for a 0-0 draw.

    Why not ?

    A tie is a perfect result for them.

    We must score...and soon.

    Kojo.

     
  • At 16/04/08 20:06, Blogger ZonalMarking said…

    Header by Caldwell across the goal. No takers

    fourth corner....really putting the pressure on...

    cleared

     
  • At 16/04/08 20:07, Blogger The Narrowbhoat Tim said…

    Celtic plying on the pressure

    Corner cleared of the line by the huns.

    3rd corner headed out by ugly Betty.

    4th Corner huns clear.

    Robson put in three good corners.

    Naka !@!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

     
  • At 16/04/08 20:08, Blogger The Narrowbhoat Tim said…

    Naka scores from 30 yards out

     
  • At 16/04/08 20:08, Blogger hoopla said…

    That was about 30 yards out, swerving all the way.

    Who says Naka never shows up against the Rangers?

     
  • At 16/04/08 20:09, Blogger The Narrowbhoat Tim said…

    Who said that you should never play Naka against the Huns.

    Another corner Mon the Hoops.

     
  • At 16/04/08 20:09, Blogger ZonalMarking said…

    What a screamer

    22 yds, cuts across the ball and swerves it away from McGregor.

    Mon the hoops

    Corner Celtic 6-1 on corners
    Comes to nothing

     
  • At 16/04/08 20:10, Blogger pastyface said…

    The support is in full voice now, sounds like an european night.

     
  • At 16/04/08 20:11, Blogger Cubist Funk said…

    Dipping and swerving (to the tune of Burnin' and a Lootin')

    Naka Dread - full stretch - just hit it

     
  • At 16/04/08 20:11, Blogger Liam said…

    Darnel keeper had a cheek o dive for it.

     
  • At 16/04/08 20:12, Blogger Kojo said…

    Kojo.

     
  • At 16/04/08 20:13, Blogger Kano said…

    Cumon Celtic.

    Cracker from Naka.

    Don't lay off now.

    Keep up the pressure and give this mob a good going over.

    We need to rub them into the turf.

    Show the real difference between us.

     
  • At 16/04/08 20:14, Blogger ZonalMarking said…

    Big Jan winning a lot of the flick ons.

    This is a much better performance. POTY Cuellar not had the best of starts.

     
  • At 16/04/08 20:14, Blogger The Narrowbhoat Tim said…

    Celtic letting up a bit now, don't let them get back into the game. If we get another goal now I feel we could get a barrow load.

    Mon the Hoops kill this game early.

    Calm my nerves please

     
  • At 16/04/08 20:15, Blogger HHBhoy said…

    Naka, I thank you

    HHB

     
  • At 16/04/08 20:16, Blogger The Narrowbhoat Tim said…

    Another corner for the bhoys, whats that our 7th.

     
  • At 16/04/08 20:16, Blogger ZonalMarking said…

    Corner 28 mins.

    Naka to take. Midfield is playing very well.

    Cleared....

    Hinkel on run but stopped. Celts well on top

     
  • At 16/04/08 20:16, Blogger LenSpol said…

    Lads does anyone know the fixture list for rest of season?

    BBC one is all messed up...

    Yes Celtic, now let’s see what the Fod can do when football has it’s say.

    Yellow for Bentfoot, no tbefore time.

     
  • At 16/04/08 20:18, Blogger ZonalMarking said…

    Broadfoot booked for lunge on Aiden....

    Run at him all night now wee man...

     
  • At 16/04/08 20:19, Blogger Cubist Funk said…

    Aiden a real problem for them - Broadfoot gets yellow - now has to watch himself

    Barry still struggling with the pace of the game

     
  • At 16/04/08 20:21, Blogger Cubist Funk said…

    RFC pushing us back - excellent defensive header by Lee

     
  • At 16/04/08 20:23, Blogger ZonalMarking said…

    Hartley missed header nearly puts in Whittaker.

    Scotty nearly scores from wide right. McGregor concedes corner.

    Robson to take.....
    Hartley fouls JCD

     
  • At 16/04/08 20:23, Blogger Cubist Funk said…

    OOOOOOOOOo - Scott bobblyhits - almost in at near post

     
  • At 16/04/08 20:24, Blogger The Narrowbhoat Tim said…

    Great break from Skippy corner Celtic.

    Another good corner by Robson giving the Huns defence trouble.

     
  • At 16/04/08 20:25, Blogger pastyface said…

    Naka seems to be playing in central midfield and Robson on the right.

    Barry's having a good game

     
  • At 16/04/08 20:25, Blogger Cubist Funk said…

    McCullough appears to get final warning

    Even when JVOH doesn't win header he stops them getting a clean defensive header - problem is we do not have anyone to pick up seconds - always gets picked up by their deeplying dentral midfield

     
  • At 16/04/08 20:27, Blogger The Narrowbhoat Tim said…

    Nice back tracking from Aiden to take the ball away from Whitless

     
  • At 16/04/08 20:27, Blogger ZonalMarking said…

    Another wayward header from Hartley lets in JCD.

    His run and shot were err.....very poor.

    Hartley needs to get a bit more quality into his game...

     
  • At 16/04/08 20:28, Blogger The Narrowbhoat Tim said…

    Naylor down injured

    Paul's touch has been poor but his positional play has been great

    Darcheville works an opening edge of our box a la Motherwell - thankfully blazes it over

     
  • At 16/04/08 20:29, Blogger The Narrowbhoat Tim said…

    Naylor back on the pitch. Celtic has taking their foot of the pedal at the moment.

    Scotty given offside when thro'.

    Sorry just on...at least level

     
  • At 16/04/08 20:32, Blogger ZonalMarking said…

    Naylor loses the ball after slipping. Whitless puts in JCD, McMamnus gets back and blocks shot just wide. Nearly an og

    Corner cleared

     
  • At 16/04/08 20:32, Blogger Cubist Funk said…

    oooooooo dear - we nearly conceded the sucker break on HT - corner them

     
  • At 16/04/08 20:33, Blogger The Narrowbhoat Tim said…

    one minute injury time before half time.

  • At 16/04/08 20:36, Blogger The Narrowbhoat Tim said…

    I was dreading the huns scoring before the half. Don't think Artur had a save to make so far.

    We need another goal to calm my nerves. Samaras to come on the 65th minute, what does everybody think? who should go off?

     
  • At 16/04/08 20:38, Blogger deliasmith said…

    On the matter of who might be a good captain, I quote cubist funk:

    Barry piles into Dailly - fully 15 secs gone

    I'd like to hear if Hartley got stuck in too.

  • At 16/04/08 20:40, Blogger Ignatius J. Reilly said…

    Celtic have got it spot-on do far tonight. Very few long high balls. Passing through the midfield and very mobile in all areas. What about Naka’s goal? How to send the keeper the wrong way from 30 yards. Superb!

    Thanks you Scott Booth: “Rangers never concede early. They’ve only lost one goal in the first twenty minutes this season.”

    20 minutes – Celtic 1 Rangers 0.

    Scott Booth really is a joke. After 15 minutes it comes up – possession for Celtic 78%. Scott Booth: “Rangers won’t be worried about that.”

    10 minutes in: “Celtic need to score early.”

    Er…why exactly?

    20 minutes in: “Celtic haven’t created any chances, apart from that one by Hesselink.”

    Whit? So Celtic haven’t created any chances except the one they did create?

    30 minutes in: “Celtic haven’t really created any chances apart from the goal, and that wasn’t even a chance.”

    Beam me up Scotty.

    I think you are right, Artur is only there tonight to take the goal kicks.

     
  • At 16/04/08 20:42, Blogger Tic Talk said…

    Watching on Setanta with sound off (best way, I promise you) and mainly happy. Great goal, good possession and mainly in control. I don`t think we need another but it would be nice....as would another and another and another ad infinitum !
    And we`ve still got Samaras to come on !

     
  • At 16/04/08 20:44, Blogger HHBhoy said…

    If all goes our way, we will see G. Samaras coming on to score.

  • At 16/04/08 20:44, Blogger Kojo said…

    If I were king....

    I would take Jvoh..off...

    I would bring on Samaras very, very early in Second Half.

    I would love to see Macko and Samo... two penetrators....

    That being said... Jvoh will stay... and make a fool of me, by scoring a rip-roarer!

  • At 16/04/08 20:51, Blogger Cubist Funk said…

    Kojo - at 1-0 if we don't make unforced errors in our defensive third I can't see them scoring from open play - dead ball situations offer them possibilities - then JVOH is a handy man - if wee go 2-0 I would bring on Giorgios as they will be forced to leave some space

    Interesting - Novo on for Broadfoot

    Lee injured - replaced by Mark

    To be honest, if we start just like it was the 1st 45, we score and win.

    Good football - Scott McD's earwax blown out by Paul in a better position 25 yds central

    Wilson at fault for goal. Naismith gets yellow carded from running on the pitch from the subs bench, surely that is a red-card offence.

    I simply must insist that Scott McDonald scores tonight.

    It's his time

    Now is the time to bring on G.Samaras - AND leave on the strikers… for best known reasons.
