Coffee ones were the Devil’s concept.
He chose them and the Huns as his earthly deviants :-)
Night all, great result.

NFL I’m your man
WiTs,
Fair dos, I know how you feel!
Hail Hail
Good Night Hamilton Timaloy & Hail Hail.
Back from the boozer
we had a good result
How many on here would have took the DRAW..
HH
Caprior bere needed the run last week strongly fancied 3.05 Ayr tomorrow they also fancy Quiet Reflection 4.15.
Both each way prices might be worth a look
That’s a no brainer buts-bhoy every hoops minded folk would have
accepted a draw before the match started a draw away from home
in Europe is not a bad result hail hail
Have noticed a huge difference in Ronny’s demeanor this season.
We need to back our manager 100%…anything else is disgusting.
Hail Hail.
THE_HUDDLE @ 12:07 AM
Fair-dos I just wanted the bhoys to play like they meant it – they did, God bless Izzy, he tried too hard, but at least we tried!
Hail Hail
Malta Mick Fgura
Please mate do not take any derogatory banners to Istanbul. Respect I’m sure will be welcomed, but the Turks are fiercely proud and passionate lot. It would not be wise to display such a banner.
Hail Hail
Fred c dobbs
Respectfully disagree
The manager is not up to the job

Thanks to Googy Bhoy and Tontine Tim for the steer. Ended up in what was formerly The Glenroy which was interesting with one or two Ajax fans watching as well :-)

Back to Basics – Glass Half Full on 17th September 2015 8:18 pm –
============================================
Hun wank.
Anyway, to more important Tim matters: KevJungle – keep on keeping on, brother.
Told yeez 2-2 at lunchtime today. Also told yeez wanks like firstmentioned would populate the board in the aftermath desperate to envisage their own tragedies as anything more that the truth – shite lower club with limited budget trying to come and play with the big bhoys. Bitter that we continue to thrive against adversity.
But, y’know…
Ronny Deila doesn’t know a substitutuion if it jumpred him wearing sussies and a low-cut corset. Izzy – having a great game, by the way, does what Izzy does and gets a yellow. He did it against Quarabag, then got lucky with a lunge 5 mins later. Hooked? Then? No. Tonight, no. And, bam!
Ronny’s favourite stats – those pesky percentages – dictate that some winger somewhare gets wise, sleekit, and lucky – jings! tonight in Amsterdam! – and off Izzy goes before RD reacts. Some 15-20 minutes after the yellow…
Lustig, playing out his skin, takes a cramp, hooked immediately. Nonsense. Give him 5 to run it off. A panic sub, as attested by his replacement, Efe, later replaced by Janko. Jeez.
Kris Commons – lovely game-defining touches but legs gone after 60. Down to ten, a cert for sub. But no – off goes wee Forrest, the only man we possess with genuine top-class pace and capable of alleviating the pressure by taking the ball for a run/giving them anxiety by his very presence on breaks.
Johansen stays on too. Hopeless, ball-gifting bigheid. Culpable at one of the goals. Unwilling to play for the jersey above himself.
And to top it all good old zonal marking has all the right patches of grass covered when the ball flights in for their second, everything covered except the fecking ball itself; nobody remotely making an attempt to attack and clear, The Cat bewildered by the surrender monkeys in front of him, having to guess the possible flick/touch coming among the crowded box.
When will you learn, Ronny Deila? Ever? Zonal mark all you fecking like but at least appoint ONE man to attack the ball and clear. Such a maxim only required implementing three times in the last three games and we’d be in the CL and top of the league.
Overall, decent performance, good result, f#ck the SMSM, and here’s hoping we take Fenerbache, who’ll come looking for something.
I had to run out almost immediately after the game, so I have had time to reflect.
Why does it feel like two points dropped instead of unexpectedly gaining one?
Celtic have had this capacity to take you on a roller coaster ride, raising hope and expectations and then somehow letting you down.
A point away in Europe is a disappointment.
I’m confusing and confounding myself.
A poor goal lost for their second.
The defence was unsure and hesitant at the free kick and Gordon was unsighted.
Well I hope he was, otherwise it was a bad error.
The central defence will gel better once they get a few games together.
Armstrong’s return will provide better options in midfield.
A run of games for Ciftci is an imperative to take the pressure off Griffiths.
There I feel better and more relaxed.
What is the Stars,
Excluding the cheating the man would most likely have won a treble last season.
Yet you want him gone? Give the man a chance and some support.
Hail Hail.
Sandman
Ambrose was NOT substituted.
Janko came on for Commons.
Efe had a magnificent inspirational 20 minutes.
what’s in the pipeline
everyone can do what they want with their money but
as the wise cliche states fools & shekel’s are too easy to
go different directions also gambling can also have a
bad trap door like chasing ones loses, that’s for sure.
But personally I now feel RD will do not a bad job @
our Club he will survive that’s for sure & will not be
hounded out like wee NL was go on the Hoops hail
hail.
sandman
Efe was not replaced by Janko- he stayed on from 70 minutes to the end of the game.
Janko came on for Commons to play right mid
Fred
He has also failed twice to qualify for the champions league
Twice against very beatable opposition
He got a result tonight and well done to him but. ….
hail hail all & good night.
Things are beginning to look
green & white/bright.
come-on-you-bhoy”s in green,
Glasgow’s green & white
yeah right & damn tooting.
Peace & love & God bless you all.
Later’s. :-) :-)
Very good defensive performance, all things considered imo. Very little composure, and joined up thinking from mid to front.
What is the Stars,
The man needs time and SUPPORT..that is our job.
Hail Hail.
We now have four home games in a row.
Dundee, Raith Rovers, Hearts then Fenerbache.
Time to get working on our defensive structure, especially at set pieces, and for Simonuvic to get to know his team mates.
Time to bring Ciftci up to match fitness.
Time to determine whether Allan or Armstrong is the better replacement for Johansen whose form is wanting at the moment.
Time to determine how best to use James Forrest or to twist with GMS.
I’m sure Ronny and his team will be focused on working out the kinks before we face the Turks and will have them all primed to put on a great display at home.
6 points and a cup win will lift confidence and get the fans, all the fans behind the team.
I’m as relieved as I’m happy with tonight’s result. Izzy and commons restored to team gave me more assurance. Poor goal to lose for 2nd . Looked like Keepers ball all day long.
THE_HUDDLE on 17TH SEPTEMBER 2015 11:53 PM
One thing not said tonight was how great are Ajax for trusting playing such a young team, you can see 3 or 4 of them going onto bigger things. (not their keeper :O)
================================================
I liked the guy who had wee Forrest in his pocket.
Surprised he wasn`t switched to the other wing.

setting free the bears for Res. 12 & Oscar Knox on 18th September 2015 12:35 am –
================================================
Sorry, bhoys, I wordeed that wrongly – I meant positionally. He ( Efe) was thrown on at Rb then Janko subbed in for Commons to replace him and Efe moved to mid/centre.
A cooler head may have put Janko in as Mick’s straightforward replacement (once it was ascertained Mick couldn’t continue, ergo my ‘give him 5 minutes’ point).
Panic, it seemed.
And btw I believe Efe to be a worthy member of CFC (as I’ve advocated a number of times previously)- but properly played as a defensive/holding midfielder in front of the back four so as to remove last-man culpability from him and let him relish breaking up opposition attacks. I don’t buy into the ‘he’s shoite, it’s his fault’ knee-jerk community, particularly as there are greater and less worthy impostors currently occupying first-choice jerseys.
Sandman
I agree that Efe should be tried as a holding midfielder for a few games games or part games.
This would free Bitton to be more attack minded and display his undoubted skill in a more threatening forward position.
I’m positive that Ronny can make a couple,of wee tweaks to help us regain form in the next three matches before Fenerbahce come to Celtic Park with their expensive signings.
‘GG on 18th September 2015 1:31 am
============================
Yes.
Never been a Ronny fan. But tonight I was surprised and happy to se ethe formation include JF and KC in advanced roles. A million miles from hids hesitant tactics of recent times. a sign he’s got some balls again and is willing to be brave?
Dunno, but the back 4 should be the first choice anytime, given tho’ that Izzy’s blind spot has cost him, so young Tyler should show what he’s made of now.
On that note- thought big Jozo slotted in like a custom-made lego brick, on a very tricky night under real pressure, and looked every inch the fee we paid. One blot – if only he was freed from the inhibitions of zonal marking and designated to attack the ball with his height advantage we might have won with the ten men and seen Keith Jackson loup over the edge of the Kingston…
Just woke up to this – well done Celtic! Will read match reports later but off out to work now, with a spring in my step.
Just checked on Fenerbahce’s recent signing spree to the tune of more than 23 million pound.
Nani from Manchester United for 6 million. 5.5 million too much IMHO
Kjaer the Danish defender for 7.7 million from Lille. He better be good at that price.
Tufan a midfielder from Bursaspor for 7 million. He better be a genius at that price.
Van Persie from Manchester United for 6.6 million. He was a great player in his prime but he didn’t look so hot latterly for United. Couldn’t get a game ahead of Fellaini. That says it all for me.
It’s going to be an interesting night in Celtic Park two weeks from now.
Sandman,
Agree Ronny is out of his depth. Joke he is in charge of Celtic.
Memo to Boyata whom I thought had a good and reassuring game.
A) Learn to blooter it
b) Learn when to blooter it.
That result isn’t cause to celebrate.
It was a draw.
I expected, and backed us to win the game.
Acceptable is all that it is.
Saying that – in recent history, two games that stand out for me were the 3-3 game the day in Killie, also the 2-2 cup tie at deadland.
Both draws, due to circumstances however, was like the victory – and yet, in the long run, they games contributed to victory of league and cup.
Rejoice and be thankful.
HH.
Craig Gordon.
Zonal marking?
Protecting his knee?
Hasn`t suddenly become a bad goalie.
