    Expected a decent result.

     

     

    Ajax are nothing special. I expect a win at Celtic Park.

     

     

    Negatives?

     

     

    Blackett. Oh dear. Thought Griffiths did fine but the transfer horror show ensures he is all that we have. Goalie isn’t as good as some of us think. Shambolic second goal.

     

     

    Bitton immense. The manufactured crisis is over.

    BACKTOBASICS

     

     

    We had just lost one experienced full-back to injury. To sub Izzy at that point may have been a good decision in hindsight,but not at the time. Not with a hugely inexperienced replacement our only option.

     

     

    Ronny had every right to expect Izzy to show a it more nous than he did.

  3. KEVJUNGLE on

    Good result Celts…well done.

     

    Good performance away from home in Europe.

     

    Nit-pick…Izzy put himself before the team just like Broony did athome to Barca in the Neymar incident…coz they don’t ‘fear’ big Ronny…imho.

     

    Hope the fans get home safely….Ajax fans can be animals.

    Shortbread were obviously hoping fo a heavy Celtic defeat. Heavy criticism, arguing about how ba d our defence is. First question to Ronny – “that must feel like a defeat”

     

    Sad people.

     

    Any other Scottish team would be getting seriously bigged up.

     

    Looking forward to waking up a tim tomorrow.

     

    Spurs trailing at home to qarabag.

  5. Ellboy on

    How good was Efe when he came on? Well done big man :)

     

     

    Hats off to Ronny too, even though I was screaming at him to take Commons off for most of the second half for Janko. Was good to see a proper plan tonight with our wingers denying space & the midfield three keeping its shape, for the most part it worked great. Disappointed to see Izzy sent off for two soft yellow cards, Ajax had a few similar challenges that went unpunished. A couple of negatives was Gordon once again looked awful at two cross balls. Lucky to get way with the first one that hit the post but the second, while it was a tremendous ball in he shouldnt be beaten by a direct free kick in the center of the goals. Also Simunovic looked poor in the air but for a debut he did well.

     

     

    All in all 2-2 would have grabbed your hand off before the game but we should have won it. Great away point though & proud of all our Bhoys tonigh. Great performance. HH!

  7. Stopthewhingers on

    Feel sorry for the whingers who are now at a loss struggling with their Ronny out, oh wait mebbe not routine, same as last year!

     

     

    We drew against one of the biggest clubs in Europe away from home. Fact.

     

     

    Unsurprisingly the blog overflowing with positive comments from true Celtic bhoys rather than the usual suspects who will just have to settle for complaining about who got kicked off the bake-off last night!

     

     

    Delighted for Ronny and his much maligned players

     

     

    HH

  8. bournesouprecipe on

    Superb away performance from Celtic.

     

     

    Against the favourites Ajax, Ronny Deila stuck to his favoured 4-5-1 (despite the Celtic experts) and were it not for the misfortune, it might even have been all three points.

     

     

    The group is now wide open with our draw, and with Molde’s away win, ticket sales will surge.

     

     

    Too many excellent individual performances to pick out, no failures in what was a tremendous tactical result for the manager and his squad who all played to his tune, though Kris Commons over 80 minutes showed why he’s right to be ‘unhappy’

     

     

    Brown and Bitton were both awesome Simunovic and Boyata were steady and Ambrose did well to cover for first pick, but limited Lustig. The Izzaguire second yellow was avoidable, but the Ajax player simulated and the referee was too eager to buy it.

     

     

    Well done to the CQN Bloggers that saw the Celtic comeback, from Saturday as a given. Suddenly £66 for ST holders makes the Europa League, look a nicer Celtic proposition, and the flailing of Dundee is back on.

    Back to Basics – Glass Half Full on 17th September 2015 8:18 pm

     

     

    Well said, I agree totally

     

     

    Who is this sticker you speak of ? :) ooops striker

  12. San Diego Bhoy on

    Fantastic.

     

     

    2-2 versus Ajax in Amsterdam has been a great result at anytime in our history.

     

     

    Defence playing more like a unit. Every game will see them improve.

     

     

    Get out of there safely Tims.

  13. BOBBY MURDOCH'S CURLED-UP WINKLEPICKERS on

    KEVJ

     

     

    Cheers,mate. The effort is greatly appreciated.

     

     

    Hail hail.

  14. Captain Beefheart on

    Boyata and the Croat boy did well considering they are a new partnership. Good distribution from Boyata.

     

     

    Think my Polish mate wanted a Milek goal but he wisely kept schtum.

  15. voguepunter on

    Good result tonight,bet the team are kicking themselves …could have had another

     

    win in Amsterdam.

     

    Don’t kick too hard ,need you fit for Sunday.

     

    Well done bhoys hh

  16. 21Nov2006 on

    1st of all fantastic result, well done Ronny and all the Bhoys.

     

     

    2ndly WTF is going on at BTsports, a draw in Amsterdam is almost treated as failure (apart from big Chris that is). Who is the other muppet that commentates, you can almost feel his desire for Celtic failure?

     

     

    3rdly I have too many positives to list and the real supporters amongst us will understand the inner glow I am feeling, but I do feel I have to say that Izzy should have been hooked after the foul before the foul that got him sent off.

     

     

    4thly (is that even a thing) Izzy was superb and IMO, if he had played in Malmo we would have qualified.

     

     

    Fifthly Hun Interlopers ………………… Crisis? My Arse GIRFUY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  19. weeron on

    Good result. Should have been a great one.

     

     

    Ronny D…what were you thinking when Izzy got booked? And when he got away with one after that?

     

     

    I agree with Glass Half Full. What is Mjallby doing these days?

     

     

    Some really good stuff from many of our players. Happy for the fans that were there.

    Bloody hell!

     

     

    Thanks for that,mate. Coulda sworn it was the way I posted earlier.

     

     

    Apols to all for the confusion.

    BACK TO BASICS – GLASS HALF FULL on 17TH SEPTEMBER 2015 8:18 PM

     

     

     

    Efe Ambrose – stupid

     

     

     

    ——

     

     

    Have you mistyped?

  24. wycombebhoy on

    Thought we would hold on for the win until Izzy, after a good performance till then, blotted his copybook once again !

     

     

    The ball for the second goal is a perfect ball, not to cast doubt on football knowledge but if you think that was Craigs fault or even our shaky defence’s fault, they really don’t understand professional football.

     

     

    On Ronny, he should be telling the press we’re not pleased with the result and that we can play much better, not saying how proud he is ! Tell them that in the dressing room.. but let everyone else think we’re not satisfied with a draw !

  25. corkcelt on

    We were never going to qualify from the group tonight, our 3 home home games should decide that. What we have done is greatly improve our chances. If we do end up tied with Ajax for second place we have an away point and two away goals to our credit. Nothing at all decided but nothing lost either. Hopefully the Molde result will stop our resident football experts from belittling teams like Molde, Malmo & Quarabag.

  26. sipsini on

    YOGIHUGHES on 17TH SEPTEMBER 2015 8:10 PM

     

    One other point. I thought that was Boyata’s best game for us. I should give him confidence.

     

     

    ________________

     

     

    Agreed, the bhoy looked lacking in confidence when he came in, game time might be the making of him.

     

    Time will tell, here’s hoping. HH

  27. Burghbhoy on

    Certainly a result I would have taken before the game.

     

    Up until Izzy was sent off we were comfortable.

     

    Don’t blame Gordon for the goal.

     

    That was a perfect cross cum shot and virtually impossible to defend.

     

     

    A lot of back pages being rejigged as we speak.

     

     

    As TD67 would say GIRUY

     

     

    Onwards and hopefully upwards

     

     

    HH

  29. Greenpinata on

    As we will analyse individual performances, one thing is already apparent.

     

     

    We were not “gutless” . Maybe Izzy tried that wee bit too hard to dispel the gutless accusations. This is the effort and attitude we expect and demand moving forward.

     

     

    I also know that Ronny will not be cowed by media or fan pressure. Bringing Efe on at that stage and in that position was a brave move that many of us would not have taken. It worked and well done to both. We now have had a glimpse of how he handles pressure.

     

     

    HH.

  30. prestonpans bhoys on

    I’ve not got problem with BT coverage of our games. However I do with Sky which is why I and many more have left them. Anyway great result:-)

  32. clogher celt on

    Much better tonight.

     

     

    Good to see so much effort and fight.

     

     

    Onwards and upwards.

     

     

    HH

  33. Clink\o/ on

    Theres only one f in Efe.

     

    Where I watched the game the cry of anguish that came up when Efe came on was awful.

     

    It was like they had never ever seen the positives anout him.

     

    Oh and Izzy is better than the Manc loanee

    BACK TO BASICS – GLASS HALF FULL on 17TH SEPTEMBER 2015 8:18 PM

     

    Genuinely glad some Celts are happy.

     

     

     

     

     

     

    Should have won. Up against a bunch of wee boys managed by an idealist (Maybe De Boer would say the same about Celtic).

     

     

     

     

     

     

    Efe Ambrose – stupid

     

     

     

     

    Emilio Izaguerre – stupid

     

     

     

     

    The guys on the bench that don’t know that Ambrose is stupid – stupid

     

     

     

     

    The guys on the bench that didn’t know the Izzy was going off (when all of us did) – stupid.

     

     

     

     

     

     

    Some individuals in the team are really talented. But overall game management appalling.

     

     

     

     

     

     

    BTW – Boyata played well? Watch a slow mo of the second goal.

     

     

     

     

     

     

    Bitton, Commons – well done lads.

     

     

     

     

     

     

    Deila – get rid of the bore from Galashiels or you’ll both be out of a job. Your the idealist, bring in a killer as your assistant.

     

     

     

     

     

     

    Before anyone asks … the glass genuinely used to be half full.

     

     

     

     

     

     

    Gets tiresome watching stupid people doing the same stupid things.

     

     

     

     

     

     

    Hail Hail!

     

    :..:..:…………………..

     

     

    Rearrange these words into a well known phrase or saying:

     

     

    off Hun feck!

  38. Auldheid on

    When Griffiths hit that cross from Commons into the side net around 60 mins (it was a half chance) I’m thinking only one team can win this, CQN servers can breathe more easily.

     

     

     

    Izzy, who was playing well had a dark purple patch when he was lucky to stay on had the ref seen his tackle on the winger after his yellow and I reckon ref got a word and was just waiting to put matters right.

     

     

    Izzy’s replacement is not ready for a first team place yet and with Lustig already off I can understand RD leaving Izzy on but I would have expected Brown or Commons to have a word.

     

     

    The problem with watching us just now is that we are like Forrest Gumps box of chocolates , you just don’t know what you are going to get over 90 minutes.

  40. bigshuggy on

    Well done the Hoops. Thought a grubbing was on the cards, but buckled down to the task. Izzy played very well in first half, then lost the plot, leaving us a man down for 20 minutes. Disappointing to lose 2nd goal from a free kick. Well done to our travelling fans. HH Now 2-1 Spurs.

  41. Hamiltontim on

    I thought Ronny’s eyes looked very sunken when he was interviewed after the game.

     

     

    Despite grumps and doubts I hope he realises that we’re all desperate for him to succeed.
