GOOOOOAAAAAL!!!

1st?
-
KOJO and I quote - "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!"
How WRONG could you be??
A wee rubbishy scrappy heider.. was the term you were looking for
Nearly as wrong as and foolish as me ;0)
Do we care? NOT A JOT!

hat red card is going to prove important...i've drank a half a bottle of mcCallen my wife brought home from NY....McCulloch is a cheat..end of..disguted by him..bad enough skippy diving but that was terrible...no coment from setanta..big shock..booth obviously a hun...God i feel so happy right now..I love celtic
-
according to 5live
Kenny Clark told the 4th official to get down the tunnel. There may have been cards in the tunnel. Still waiting to find out if there was more info when I hear it
I hope Paul gets back soon to sort that front page out. I assume nobody else can help him out with that
-
Rob MacLean & co. talking about how many games Mythgregor will be out for
How about...
zero.
I would bet a months wages on it.
That's some magic sponge they've got at Murray Park.
-
just read my comment..god i'm drunk sorry!!!!mcculloch is a cheat though
-
Forgot to add... Celtic secure a great win... barney at the end of the game...
and the first item for discussion for Rob & co. is how many games Mythgregor will be out for.
Hmmmmm.
-
Im assuming the front page is not so good is it.

It's time FIFA made a new rule called the "penalty goal" like they have in Rugby.
If a defender handles the ball to stop it going into the net, he should of course be sent off, but a goal should be awarded, rather than a penalty. Obviously if it is a trip in the box, there is no guarantee that a goal was on, but with a hand ball on the line, it is definitely stopping a certain goal illegally. Where the player misses the penalty, the cheat has won. So how about it FIFA?
Great fighting spirit by Celtic.
Just saw the end of game incident. McManus approached Ferguson to shake his hand and Bazza refuses and pushes Mick's hand away violently. McManus goes nose to nose and then lots of pushing.
If Bazza wasn't booked after that, there really is something remiis in Scottish Football.
-
Walter Smith says to Chic 'he never saw anything or knows anything that happened at the end of the game'
-
Ah the bravery and dignity of Allan McGregor - soldiering on through extreme pain and getting treatment on the park.
OOPS - you just gave us time to score a goal hahahahah
We bullied them all night tonight and finally remember what it means to be CELTIC.
Even if it's not to be, season 08-09 already has a marker laid down.
Some often criticised players rose high tonight, McManus, Caldwell, JVofH can all build on this. What bravery from MacDonald (who had a stinker) to calmly nod into the path of JVofH.
-
Robson has to start every game from now on. I thought his spirit and the fight in him was what we missed for many a game this season.
There might be red cards for Caldwell and Weir, supposedly the ref has issue some cards in the dressing room.
Off to get a drink and celebrate.
3 in a row here we come.
-
Interesting article...
-
MOTM Naka.
One of the goals of the season so far.
Then another classic goal - denied only by the Cuellar handball.
Other standouts - Robson, McGeady, Caldwell
-
Delighted - great effort.
Justice was done in the end but we made heavy weather of it second half. Mitigation - it's difficult to play when the game is so interupted.
3 points for us - a red card and injured keeper for them.
Gordon blows away the jinx.
derbyshirebhoy - just about to write the same - Stephen McManus was off his head at the end - most of the players were VERY wound up at the end
BBC stats
CELTIC RANGERS
Possession
62% 38%
Shots on target
4 2
Shots off target
5 3
Corners
11 5
Fouls
13 11
Thought Mark Wilson did well getting forward - also big compliment to Scott McD - kept playing after the penalty miss - very composed header back across 6 yd box for JVOH
-
What a bonus if Gary Caldwell and Weir are red-carded - it would allow us to play either Darren O'Dea or Bobo, and for them to be missing both Weir and Cuellar for their next game.
What a difference a goal makes!!!!!!
-
Paul,
too much information.

Schoorley schum mishtake???

First post so go easy on me...
Celtic were superb tonight. In the first half in particular we threatened to run riot.
Some big performances from players who have been heavily critisised. Caldwell had one of his best games in a Celtic shirt.
WIth Cuellar being out for the next one and now possibly Weir, things are looking up...
Nice to see Naka back on form and I thought that he looked exellent when he was moved into a more central role and in fact, I think that he is better when playing central, any thoughts?
Felt even better to snatch it in the dying seconds.
Hail Hail

Long time lurker first time poster. I will apologise for my spelling from the start.
FABULOUS RESULT TONIGHT - just wish would learn to kill off teams (no nails left or beer).

Did you see WGS celebration..... me thinks the man is starting to understand now!!
Mon the hoops!

Gerry McNee on Setanta - I Don't think he likes us.

HAIL, HAIL
Watching the Setanta footage of the after-match tosh, the skipper of Dignity FC, Barry Ferguson raised hands to the skipper of Celtic FC Stephen McManus.
Celtic won that match fair and square, in the face of outright cheating from the alleged player of the Year, Carlos Cuellar, who denied Shunsuke Nakamura a superb second goal, which would only have been outshone by his outstanding initial strike.
Cuelllar's suspension will be significant, as he has kept the Rangers defence together, and the injury to keeper McGregor is a sair yin for them.
Outstanding from Celtic tonight. Let's have more of the same.
STANDING UP...jumping up and down with my brother

Agree NAKA was excellent tonight along with Robson, was getting ready to get torn in about him getting subbed, so glad it all worked out.
Anybody elses beer tasting so much sweeter now!

Hello all, first post.
Gerry McNee on Setanta - sick as a parrot.
Repeats 3!! times that there are serious problems with "this Celtic team", but fails to elaborate on this..........
-
wiltshire that's for you to delete your posts
-
Thats Football, anti football gets what it deserves.
Like all the Champions Legaue madness mixed into one, Man Who, Shahktar, AC Milano ralotterthem.
1st decent team they have played all season.
-
its only for yourself the bin
-
Weir and Caldwell reported to the beaks by the ref! does that mean they both miss the next parkhead game or can they just appeal the sendings off and still get to play?
-
-
imatim
wee Gordon's celbration was great but fdon't forget his celebration after beating Shaktar at home this season - I doubt there will be a better one for a wee while. For me, that showed is 'Celtic minded'
An aside, Weir confirmed as being reported to SFA. Gary CAldwell possibly the same. Maybe more to follow!!!
-
pastyface - any news on cards issued after FT?
-
According to Radio Snide Weir and Caldwell given red cards after the game for violent conduct
-
Just heard the Weir & Caldwell have been reported for violent conduct, therefore no appeal.
Come on big BOBO!!
Hail! Hail!

sorry my Yaasss was toooo long

cubist nothing from me but it seems other have. Still listening to 5live so the youth cup win by Man City is more important

neilybhoy - Swindon (must have sinned in a past life). Presuming you are in Bath.
many thanks to you and Pasty re the bin
-
caldwell and weir both red carded
-
d weir and caldwell sent off after the match - confirmed
Expecting similar punishment for Caldwell - more video evidence to be seen.
Rangers are rotten, tired and getting thin on the ground in terms of their best players.
we couldnt have asked for a better scenario if we are to claw our way back.
hail hail
-
Is Bobo back????????
-
me and afew mates had greyhounds running ther last year dont know why seemed a good idea at the time
-
Great result well done guys.
Clyde saying Caldwell and Weir red carded in the tunnel.
-
more cards were shown at the end of the game but a two red cards and a yellow. According to 5live, but can't confirm the players. A red card for each side.
But if its Weir is that a 3 match ban for their two central defenders?
-
Hello,CQNers,justwatched the game with o1 bhoy in Melbourne, on the way to the beach with the dog now. Hail hail
-
McNee is just a sad little man. He said Celtic's first-half dominance was down to Rangers sitting too deep and allowing Celtic too much room, rather than Celtic playing particularly well.
-
Weir misses parkhead and also Hibs the following week, he was already booked tonight then got his red card, thats the equivalent to 5 yellows = 15 points to his disciplinary score!! Hears hoping the Edinburgh Tims will do us a wee turn!!
HH
-
weir sent off and booked - takes him to 15 points - misses cup semi and game against hibs
-
Interesting to hear Weir sent off for violent conduct.
Rob MacLean at pains to point out that this is totally out of character.
Always is when it comes to them isn't it.
Funnily enough he's another one of those serial handshakers :)
GIRUY!

I could not have picked better companion,pal...in making a Public Spectacle of ourselves.
You and me we are two of a kind...
we both have developed the unhappy knack...of being so Right, at the Wrong Time...

So Wrong, at the Right Time!
Which, no matter how ye look at it, is quite a trick!
I think that makes sense?.....
However...babe...

My party piece, by the way...
Maxie... eat yer heart out!...
Wherever,ye are!
Yep...like I said yesterday....and everyday...
Celtic, had been absolutely DE-SPIRITED for so long...but, they made a 180... against Motherwell...and that convinced me, that they had regained their long lost ...... ESPRIT DE CORPS!
And they have done nothing this eve...to convince me,to change my conclusion...
Celtic are Back...
And ,look out Nellie....
It ain't ovah...'til it's ovah...
So rest yer tonsils a wee while yet,hen!

Remarkable closing lien from Sally McNair on Reporting Scotland:
'but with Celtic's confidence high, no-one can say it's all over'

GARY CALDWELL was absolutely magnificent tonight. every time, from 20 left, he drove on, and on and on.
if its big bobo, then he will do for me.
i could stay up all night, but heh, the smile on my face at work will be a real pain for them tomoro..........
take my advice, smirk at them. they hate it.
my last word for tonight

Your not alone!

Ulster celt-
seriously i would kill the wee git if I got the chance.

Apparently Weir is now through 15 pts - 3 game ban for him.
Surely it cant all go Pete Tong for them poor huns.
Incredible hun caller on clyde saying how can we be para' any more with Robson getting away with the tackle on Daily at the start.
God and we even got a dodgy penalty.
I always knew that Clarke guy was a closet tim.

Yes. Yes Yes. Best Old Firm game in a long while. We've broken the hoodoo now let's break them.

Hail Hail All!
What a game, great effort by all. thank the Football gods for that late winner. I have to say I was giving JVOH pelters from my living room sofa all night. Just goes to show you you that maybe wee gordon deserves more credit. I would have hooked him early into the second half. Thought Naka took some real confidence from the goal and was much more calm on the ball and willing to take that extra wee second to find a good pass. I thought Andreas Hinkel was superb tonight, composure personified throughout the whole game.
Big Gary Caldwell - oh how your ears must have been burning throughout the last 20 mins... I was mumbling and moaning for most of them to my girlfriend(who then left the room :)) my main complaint being your insistence on hanging onto the ball then deciding to loft it into the box, when hinkel naka hartley etc were all calling for it. Thank the lord your a stubborn man, great ball in and fair play to wee scotty for the great back header.
Anyone else have a delayed celebration? I was waiting for that wee numpty gilmore on the line to raise his wee flag again, oh how he loved to raise it.
Anyway, the bird is no longer talking to me, she reckons the neighbours are annoyed with me after the winner, let out an almighty roar followed by numerous GIRFUY!!
Come on! lets see how the can handle the pressure!
P.S I hate Ally McCoist. Fair enough he was funny on the lyin BBC's question of sport so my hatred for the fat one had subsided a small bit. but I am tired of his winking, cheating attitude and I am convinced he is behind their cheating tactics. When you all watch the re-run of the game, keep an eye out for him when cousin is coming on, rubbing his "pretend watch" and winking in the same manner of the ibrox game when cousin tried to take off mcmanus's head.
finally...the cheaters didn't win. perhaps its paradise...many a cheating team has tried that carry on and were sent packin.
-
I can't believe the last two idiots on 5Live, queuing up to have a go at Strachan. Especially the last one, "I'll not be back or buying any mechandise until he's gone" I can only presume he'd take no pleasure from us winning this title. Aye right.
It's obviously too difficult for them to grasp that we support the TEAM as a whole, not individuals.
Negative clowns like these only play into the hands of our rivals.
Together we are unbeatable, divided we are conquered.

thinking exactly the same. I bet the last one never spends any money

Weir & Caldwell reported to SFA plus 2 reds and a yellow for fight in tunnel (not sure who yet but one thought to be Rat Boy). Setanta/Real Radio Phone In

Tony Bananas - presumably Rob MacLean also pointed out that it's totally out of character for Gary?

positive thinking

Had a drunken rant all lined up but it failed, which might not be the worst thing to happen.
JUSTICE
Football won tonight. Cheating negative, cheating anti-football scum lost.
Justice
Thats why WE ARE CHAMPIONS!!
Keep the faith!!

fatty funny, yer havin a laugh! DOB that sums him up.

Not posted for a while, but congrats to whoever conceived that half time banner-Scotlands Shame (with a big arrow pointing to Huns!)

There is only one rrrrrrreally good way to win these games and we’ve just watched it.
Apologies for the personal data that made it onto the above article; trying to get round the blogger issue I scheduled an email to arrive but forgot to remove my signature. !*!*!

Joy... sheer bloody Joy!
Fantastic performance by the Celts against Cheat Fc. They got what they deserved.
Final whistle goes then Captain Fantastic (who was non existent the whole match) starts a brawl and then snakes his way out of view. Weir and Caldwell end up getting sent off. Nice one Bazza your a great example to young kids.
ps Ulster Celt I agree with your comments I can't stand that useless Spanish Hun.
Hail Hail
-
Thought Caldwell had a great game tonight. Red card obviously ruins a good night for him. Other stand out's Naka, McGeady and Robson.
Neil Lennon's celebration at the goal. Never seen him move that quick!
Squeaky bum time for the Orcs.
Hail Hail.

belfastbhoy

Just back - what a night!
Thought we played well in thh first half and should have had the game won by half time. Naka's goal was special.
Second half we let them back into it. The penalty was so poor and we didn't make too many chances after that.
I thought the substitution was strange. Robson was having a fine game and I would have left him on, taking one of the back four off.
What happened after the game? Saw a few fights break out but it was hard to pick out who was involved. BBC Scotland had only rumours, no facts.
BTW - did anyone get a picture of the banner at half time - "Scotland's Shame" and an arrow pointing to the huns. Sheer class!
-
Awe Naw,
prepare yourself for a visit - around 10th May.
My advice is get practising on the old karaoke...
-
So was it rat boy and Gary C that was sent off??
What about wee bawwy, he started it all of..... did he get booked/sent off or is that just a daft question??
-
We must use this win as a platform and begin enforcing our superiority. Need better penetration. Good idea to use the space created by Huns doubling on Aidan to allow Naka to roam, but why not vary more and, eg, also allow, Aidan to move inside, or over to the right, and Robson to take up the left flank on occasion - he coud do a Thommo from there. 2 things I noticed -
1- Wilson, nearly a villain, at fault for the goal but great overlaps (though hampered by crossing with his left), and he also played one delightful chip over the top to McDonald(?). He delayed a throw in injury time, when everyone was baying for him to rush it, to make sure his throw led to Celtic possession, and a few passes later we scored;
2- Caldwell, part-hero for providing the cross for the winner: however, I felt that for all his willingness to go forward, he took too much out of the ball (as ever) and slowed moves down without being able to play a good pass. I like centre halves to dd to the attack, but he should know his limits and move the ball swiftly to a better distributor (ie anyone except Mick). I'm not trying to run the guy down, I think he is an honest player with great heart but it worries me that he's encouraged to do this.
-
According to Real Radio phone in on Setanta Nacho Ned was sent off in the tunnel along with another as yet un-named player! Both Caldwell and Weir have been reported in addition to this, they weren't the players that were sent off!
-
Best moment of the night, other than the unveiling of the 'Scotlands Shame' banner at half time, was Neil Lennon's reaction at both the goals. He went charging down the touchline celebrating, never seen him move so fast in 6 years as a player
-
test
-
Celtic - don't you just love them?
But - why do we always choose to do it the hard way?
We have opponents, but none who equal ourselves.
Naylor instead of a fit Wilson. Why?
An off-form SMcD (for several months) instead of Samars' ability, skill and movemont?
Take off Barry Robson, hardly our worst player with both bite and spite (good on you Barry) and - (panic stations?) - change the sacrosanct "shape". After more than 2 and a half seasons.
The players won the match tonight, despite the "best" efforts of the manager!
And I'm not even his biggest critic!
Did anyone cover more ground, more effectively, than Paul Hartley, and not for the first time?
Shall we win the SPL? - Don't know.
Can we win the SPL? Very definitely.
One suggestion - stop giving the ball to Aiden unless we also offer support. It's bad enough opponents have caught on and double-up, at least, but we never seem to give him support and, therefore,options.
Gordon Strachan loves to talk about good teammates. If Aiden had any he would be seen to be twice the player he is now.
For me Aiden and Nakamura are becoming like Willie Fernie - don't pass to where we are, pass to where we should be - copyright CHARLES PATRICK TULLY - never famed for his modesty.
Cheers
Alex

Ya Beauty. Played them off the park and took the three points. There's only one team who deserves this league.
-
Never in doubt was it?
Whoever came up with the idea of the scotlands shame banner should have a medal struck for them.
-
just in from game. great stuff from the lhads tonight. special mentions to naka for a wonderful goal, robbo for a sterling shift, skippy for never hiding, and wilson for keeping the heid.
from my view it looked like caldwell swung a punch at the end, so would not be surprised if he is red carded.
big question now is how the huns deal with it.
and huge kudos to the "scotland's shame->" banner pointing at the huns.
genius!

Kerrydale Street have pics of the banner page 30 of the post match thread. Can't do a link unfortunately

Majic.
I love that area of Glasgow late at night.
The Rest Of The Season

Gary Caldwell and Weir confirmed on 5live sport news as receiving red cards in the tunnel
-
Hope it is a prelude to the title, but at least a marker has been laid for next season. The curse of anti footie!! Johann Cruyff would burn his tulips in frustration watching Watties 11.
-
This is the day, this is the day that the Lord has made, that the Lord has made.
We will rejoice, we will rejoice and be glad in it, and be glad in it
Thank you soooo much Celts.
Any manager stands or falls on his substitutions, so lets praise GS for his - it worked,& that's what he is paid for.
Was delighted that Mick took none of Ferguson's nonsense at the end -its about time that he stood up to the wee toerag
This game of course doesnt mean much if we dont beat the dons on Saturday
-
Killerheels.
agreed - FOB is the perfect description of the wee fat one.
There's another wee fat ewan on real radio who reckons rangers have two hands on the trophy.
Sorry Ewan, there a wee ginger man in the east end just reached over and slapped one of them hands off OUR trophy...come on the celts.
-
I sit in the front row of the Lizbin Lions Upper and a bunch of guys from further back brought the "Scotland's Shame" banner down at half time and asked us to help them, which of course we did. Did it make it onto TV?
-
The Banner
-
Just home from game, outstanding result, we deserved it no problem. 1st half we were excellent, what a goal from naka, rangers offered nothing much. Have not felt so good at half time in a long while at Celtic Park.
Nifty banner at half time Scotland's Shame and a big arrow pointing 2 tfod, cops pulled it down of course, no sense of humour.
Anyhow 2nd half continued 2 dominate but nohope scored a good 1, but i was sure a celtic player was fouled b4 this. Lost our way a bit after this but got back in2 it. Naka should have made it 2-1 but Cuellar cheated and stopped it going in, then we missed the penalty, nightmare, but what a finish. Bet those who left early are feeling daft now, silly people. A victory for all that is good, some pride back and not having to hear from smug gers friends, quality.
Thanks 4 that Celtic, thanks 4 everything.
Hail hail
