Celtic faced a familiar problem yesterday. Hearts packed the midfield, which sat close to their defensive line, making it difficult for Celtic to get through, over or wide. Their best chance in the first half actually came from a Hearts corner kick, one of the few occasions the visitors ventured forward.
Sure, we need to beat Rangers, but dealing with the challenge of teams sitting tight and packing midfield will be key to winning the SPL, and that starts at Perth on Sunday. St Johnstone will not be in confident mood after their 0-3 pasting at home yesterday, so you can expect them to sit three central midfielders in front of the defence.

Danny is the best player i have seen in the Hoops.Tin hat time,Terry Butcher was a great defender and captain IMO.

Ah,Dearest Maggie…….!
I doubt we’ll see her like again.
The joy of being alive and British,in her most enlightened stewardship.
Maybe it’s just me,but wasn’t the air crisper,the blue & red of the Magnificent Union Jack just that wee bit more vibrant,with her sainted hand on the tiller of the Ship of State ?
Oor Maggie,Ronald Reagan,and Pope John Paul,facing down the Evil Empire……and watching it crumble into Dust…
Lump in the throat time…79 caps?

Cheers mate

I don’t see things like yesterdays penalty as a minor moment. The referee in last weeks huns game altered the top of the league by two points. The ref yesterday tried to alter the top of the league by another two points. The laptop loyal won’t highlight these things so why shouldn’t we.

1998 feeling old tonight,always mind drinking in the 5 ways before the game and someone getting in a right sweat about lubo playing that day.
Does anyone know if wee Lionel Messi ever enjoyed the privilege of being in the same Barca team as Henke Larsson?
Henke
The boy Warner survived a bad car crash that evening as well if I remember correctly.

VP- totally agree with your point,but a good player is a good player.

Thatcher and John Paul 2 couldn’t have been more different.
Surely you’re not serious classing them as like minded individuals.

Reminds me of Lubo & Dr Jo against the Horrible Undignified Neds in 1998 – I don’t think they knew what they’d let themselves in for either. (Tony Warner in goal that day for us as well!)
____________________________________
Brings it all back. Just before leaving the car I heard Nicholas & Co in the Clyde studio anticipating a big hun victory. They started sniggering (trust me, they did) at the Celtic line-up. ‘No recognised striker’ was what they said.
They weren’t sniggering at 4.50. Larsson and Moravcik had done their best to compensate for the absence of a ‘recognised striker’.

Don’t support rangers so not bothered what happens in there games.Penalty went against us yesterday got 3 points life goes on.Before anyone starts going on about injustices cant let it happen,i agree but if you think debating the life out of it on Celtic blog is going to change anything your deluded.Fans not going to away matches,burning ref(penny for the guy) types at home games maybe.Talk is cheap walk the walk.
PF, V etc. Yesterday I turned round to my mate after 3 minutes and said we will get f’ all today. The Linesmen yesterday at the jungle side was shocking. As I keep saying the wee decisions are the ones which kill you more than the big ones.
the purpose of a blog is lost on some

sorry you missed Jinky, surprised as your posts carry the gravitas of someone older, an assumption I have made in error. I caugt the tail end of Jinky and loved the wee man . I met him a couple of times outside CP and he always had a word for the fans. Henke was a different breed, more deference, a different person but a true Celtic legend (IMHO) . I was at the Armadillo for the “greatest ever Celtic team” night and had to explain to the bhoy why his big ugly father was weeping tears of joy a a bunch of football players. He`s older now and understands why. Nothing more needs to be said.

We won yesterday stop doing the journalist’s job and analysing everything,3 points game on.Maybe if most of you went to the game/or had a life you wouldn’t need to debate the death out of a minor moments.
…………………..
LP there were two big moments yesterday at CP and naturally CQN’ers want to discuss it, are you the Gestapo or thought police, with respect :>)
Ps Celtic supporters don’t need to go to the game to be …. Celtic supporters, ergo we can discuss what we want without a roll call of were you at the game crap.

that wee baldy steward was right in front of me when he failed to flag a jambo who was about 2yds off
he was much more precise in the second half
i had the same feeling
Murray even looks like one…self important cretin
Yep,with Maggie,we were……pixellated!
Hah,HamiltonTim…the very one who was spouting the nonsense about Maggie bringing the Surveillance Society to our Blessed Isles….I think you’ll find that it’s your NuLiebore pals who were culpable for turning us into East Germany-on-Steroids… and dismantling our borders.
What a Parcel of Rogues……..

Lubo – looked almost embarassed by how easy he was making it look.
Dr Jo – I loved this guy. His expression was brilliant – ‘Did we just score again?’. Paul Lambert spoke highly of him – enough said.
Funny how some games are etched permanently into the brain. Yesterday had that feeling written all over it.

Bullying gees piece,my opinion may be different Fae the clique but bullying.Anyway what kind of clothes do the thought police wear not into that gestapo stuff,style is everything.
The Singing…
Never mind your pseudo intellectual clap trap that response had nothing whatsoever to do with my point.
Bizarre in the extreme to think those two people were in any way similar.

I too was a fan of Dr Jo, I remember how he filleted Keevins live on Clyde one Saturday afternoon. Keevins was carrying a torch for Mark Burchill and was demanding to know why he wasn`t selected for a match at Tannadice. Dr Jo calmly asked Keevins how many games Burchill had started that season, how many sub appearances and how many goals he had scored?
Our Flanders look a like said “that`s not the point” , Dr Jo said ” I know the answer and that is the point” 1 nil , giruy Sinex man.
