    Seriously doubt that Brendan came to us to continue with that business model.

  2. HT

     

     

    I know but come on, he did his best. It wasn’t good enough but I’m just so pleased with a draw.

  3. Ok, you heard, ignore major moments in the game incase it involves, gulp, mild criticism of a player who could and should have done better.

     

     

    That’s what a football blog’s for, right?

     

     

    It’s just John Hartson saying it too, what does he know about scoring goals,eh?

  4. That performance tonight tells me 1 thing.

     

    We are progressing at every level with Brendan.

     

    In fact getting better every game.

     

    Salivating at the prospect of where this man can take us!

     

     

    Well done Celtic

  5. Celtic are going places under Brendan, the players who performed tonight will be his players next season and the ones who can’t cut it at this level so far, will improve under Brendan r they will move on.

     

     

    It’s a long time since I felt this positive about Celtic…

  6. Probably a draw was a fair result – though we had a late chance to win it. Just a pity it didn’t arrive at Sinclair’s feet. Midfield (with the exception of /) at this level is weak – first touch/ tracking/ tackling – improvement needed.

     

    Still on a positive note:

     

    Win our last 2 games – City lose 2 and BM lose to Barca and we’re in last 16!

     

    Win at least 1 game – BM lose 2 and we’re in the Europa!

    Tremendous performance on a net spend of £4 mil, when we seen the team at start of the game , probably feared the worst, 90 mins later we are disappointed not to have won against a Bundesliga side……

    Spot on big fhella.

     

     

     

    I’ll check tomorrow just in case anybody tops this post.

  8. Ach …pure dead brilliant..perhaps a more thoughtful grasp of what may just be possible to follow….but what a brilliant wee retort from Borussia Monchengladbach… love the sense of humour.

  9. Re not humping it at the end.

     

    They are a counter attacking team, a top quality CA team, possession is what it’s all about, they can’t score when we have the ball, end of, I remember Brian Clough was a great exponent of possession being what it was all about, he didny do too bad IMO.

     

    One of the best goals we have scored under Brendan was against Dundee, Broonies goal, we kept the ball for an age, over thirty passes if I recall, we went back a few times but we kept the ball and scored the winner at the end of the move, quality.

     

    We will get there under Brendan, he is a cut above what we have been used to for a while.

    That says it all for me.

     

    Brendan will not settle for being an also ran.

  11. mullet and co 2 on

    That performance was outstanding. The passing back and forth in and out of packed areas was fantastic.

     

    Thoroughly enjoyed that.

     

    A centre mid and a right winger in January please.

     

     

    Might need a back up striker for Dembele mind.

  12. Interesting stat at one point this evening. Our passing accuracy was 82% -same as BMG. We had completed more passes as well.

     

     

    You tend to notice your own teams misplaced passes more. That’s why the stat surprised me. I thought we were more wasteful in possession. We weren’t.

  13. MACJAY1

     

     

    Thanks for that, will have a look, stayinguplate you say?

     

    what about 5 o clock rise? my eyes are hanging out my

     

    head :-)))

     

    H.H Mick

  14. Progress.

     

    I believe BR will insist on keeping a core to build on for the future.

     

    Plus… it’s no over till the fat lady sings….

     

     

    KTF

     

     

    This team has work ethic in abundance, and belief in their gaffer.

     

     

    Roll on The Future…

  15. Joe Filippis Haircut on

    Humping the ball forward in the last 5 minutes at this level of football is as likely to cost you a goal as it is to get you one.We did the right thing we tried to keep the ball and seek an oppening MGB could not do us any damage if they did not have the ball thats European football my only concern is can we hold on to Brendan.H.H.

  16. we’re improving and learning at this level,when was the last time we were disappointed at not winning away in germany,when we should have,a lot of this team would have folded and indeed did last two years onwards and upwards COYBIG

  17. Real progress being made all over the park. Proud of them all tonight and overall happy with a draw. When we have reached the point where we are disappointed not to get 3 points away to a Bundesliga side, then we are most definitely on the right road.

     

    It is churlish to look for negatives tonight, let’s just sit back and enjoy the ride fholks.

    Yeah plenty, I kinda regret my post. Just so wanted us to win tonight.

     

    A wee bit frustrated.

     

     

    MACJAY

     

     

    I hope so.

     

    I know it’s really cheesy, and I’m old enough to know better- players like Wanyama leaving hurt more now than they used too.

  19. JOE FILIPPIS HAIRCUT

     

     

    Well said Joe, BMG’s goal came from a big daft punt up the park, gifting them possession without making them work for it.

     

     

    The getituptheparkbrigade are going to be disappointed under Brendan…

     

     

    We need a quality midfield player to dictate play and who can partner Broony up.

  20. Cosy Corner Bhoy on

    Thoughts from an ‘ Auld Yin and Happy Clapper’ Retha game.

     

    I read here lots of critical comments about not going for the win in the final minutes! I think all you Tims have been having too many Latin lessons in thae ‘Catholic’ schools to learn how to coont!!

     

    The objective is to finish above BMG! Have a point or not have a point! That is the question!

     

    Get your abacus out and move the beads!

     

    Having said that we still have to take points in our next two games and hope ‘Die Deutschlanders’ don’t take more!! Simples.

  21. Well done to the Celtic….a bit of passion was showing through….if we can up the concentration…then hoopy days ….bring on Barcelona….and citey….

     

     

    Braw.

     

     

    Krombacher going down well…

     

     

    Smiley thing…..

    MELBOURNE MICK on 1ST NOVEMBER 2016 10:00 PM

     

     

    I got up O.K , but I couldn`t watch , mate.

     

    I was feart of a cuffing.

     

    Will watch now that my blood pressure is under control.

     

    Gorgeous day in Sydney.

  23. GlassTwoThirdsFull on

    Brown excellent. Gamboa’s best game. Roberts made a big difference when he came on. Should probably be starting again now. CG doesn’t always look comfortable passing short. Onwards and upwards!

  24. Starry

     

     

    Interestingly enough It came not long after the German commentator on sky said….. ‘Celtic Glasgow play a ‘kick and rush’ game, which will suit the composure of the foals (Gladbach).

     

    Big hoof, big punt up the middle in my book any day.

  25. Brendan has been our Manager for just under six months, what progress!

     

    It has been a steep learning curve, yes we’ve made mistakes but by God we have learned. We have a way to go but we have our pride back. Yes tonight some of the decision making in picking out certain passes or when to pass rather than shoot could have been better. However, I would have settled for a draw before a ball was kicked.

     

    Tonight is not a night for apportioning blame or pointing the finger. Tonight is one for recognising the efforts of Brendan and each of the Players that played.

     

    A couple of more quality Players, one of whom should be a holding midfielder and we will progress further.

     

    As TD67 would post, hurting Huns GIFUY!!

     

    Brendan is Celtic, I am Celtic, you are all Celtic.

     

    Keep the Faith!

     

    Hail Hail!

  26. TTR

     

     

    I’m ecstatic!!!

     

     

    However, that doesn’t alter things, he should have done better.

     

     

    I think City will beat Gladbach which means we go into the final game with the chance of obtaining third place in our last game in Manchester.

  27. FAVOURITE UNCLE

     

    Worked for a Govan Fairy (an Oldco S/tkt holder) for a short time.

     

    Long story………………………..

  28. I know Armstrong made a few bad passes but I thought he looked much better at this level than he has before. A few nice touches and contributions going forward. Put in a hard shift too.
