  1. Comfortable first half were we should be ahead.. ?

     

    One point in the half when we lost concentration we lost a goal .

     

    Came through the sticky patch and Sinky scores a peach ,end the half on defensive .

     

    All In all a good first 45

  2. Nye Bevans' rebel soldier on

    Nearly there bhoys and ghrils, anyone who backed Sinky

     

    for the first goal the black’n’tan bookie is paying out yippee!!!

  3. The Green Man says SACK THE Board on

    Well done bhoys, keep it tight 2nd half and we are there:)

  4. Celtic have played well, could be a couple ahead. Few slack passes and failure to cut out crosses into box only hope for Astana

  5. HT Good to see Celts with the ‘vital’ away goal.

     

     

    Just as the first leg Celtic infinitely the better side and created the most meaningful chances, and we could do no harm by playing to win as promised by BR.

     

     

    Good luck to those posters smart enough to take Sinclair to score in each half.

  6. Not sure it was a collision with Ntcham, looked like a dig in the ribs on follow through. Similar with Broony earlier, fouled twice in succession before free kick. Tactics seem to be to dive at every opportunity, and if that fails, just take out Celtic player. Great first half,. keep it tight for first 15 of 2nd half and we’ll be done and dusted.

  7. The 1 – 10 squeaky bum-o-meter was 1 this morning, 3 when I heard Jozo was out, 5 when we went a goal down, then back to a big fat 0 when Sinclair scored his peach.

     

     

    Just playing our normal game, remarkably open and the players clearly have total confidence in the way we play. Shout out to the 120 fans making themselves heard.

  8. As I wished with the away goal they have to score six In the second half without us scoring. I think we will get at least one more

  9. Agree about commentary being awful. Some of the camera work too. Griff won a free kick out on our right and the next thin we see is Craig Gordon being closed down with the ball at his feet. Same type of thing when they showed replay of a Celtic scoring chance and when it goes to real time they are preparing to take a corner and if I see another shot of the EUFA official in the green trackie top causing a total eclipse of the action, I’ll crush a bloody grape.

     

     

    COYBIG. You’ve done the job now let’s put a shine on it with a win.

  10. The Subjective reporting of CQN:

     

    General Comments.

     

     

    Stage 1. First 26 minutes: We are playing well. Very controlled. Great to see such composure.

     

    Stage 2 . Astana Score: We are very loose. Beginning to panic. Struggling to pass the ball.

     

    Stage 3. Sinky scores: Playing really well again. Very composed.

    Thanks very much for that clip.

    I think they’re letting one of the ball boys operate the camera.

     

    Nothing to worry us apart from maybe our defending of corners.

  12. Still a bit to go.

     

    ON has been some find.

     

    Usual suspects either hiding or playing us into trouble.

     

     

    Hopefully LG moves up a gear.

     

    Looks a bit lost at the moment.

  13. I had planned on a celebratory Singleton if /when we qualified. I am thinking it is safe to have one now but I am going to be as professional as my team and wait `till the end.

     

    Just thought. I wonder if the choice of Singleton was made subliminally after Scott scored…hmm?

    Oh and who would those ‘usual suspects’ who are playing us into trouble be???????

     

     

    I think you’re talking rubbish. The team are playing very well. We created the best chances in the first half.

  15. TV pictures are coming from the Kazak national broadcaster.

     

     

    Group stage draw is Thursday. BT Sport 2 4.30pm

  16. Corners need a bit of work. Defending them that is. I suppose the makeshift central defence is playing a part in that but you should always look to learn.

     

     

    We have a very good attacking side. Goal scorers right across the park and on the bench.

     

     

    Teams will have to score at least two or three to beat us – and I include CL teams in that – because we will score in most games against most teams in my opinion.

  17. If the moons lign — and it is looking good.

     

    Interested to see how we move on from here?

     

     

    ON has set the bar very high.
