    St Stivs 11.30pn

     

     

     

     

     

     

    ha ha … you “keep it lit” sometimes it feels like you are fighting fires … but keep the photos coming your like Port Glasgow’s … Roy Croppie :-) 🍀

     

     

    —————–

     

     

    I wish Roy would post again, he found stuff we never seen.

     

     

    I post stuff that is out there already.

     

     

    right night,

     

     

    I have a plane to fly tomorrow.

    It’s not out of any angst that I reckoned earlier subs woulda done us good. What I saw was when players got tired, their accuracy, energy and effect on the game etc was compromised – hence why sharing the playing time among the pool so others are match-fit seemed, like you hinted, a fairy nuff reason.

     

    I thought Aberdeen had more possession than they shoulda given the gulf in spending/class; and they had more penalty box threat in the 2nd than we did.

     

    We were good for the win but I can still make my observations without it coming from any sense of worry!

    St Stivs has asked “where can you be”

     

     

    Holehills …. ???

     

     

    Maybe if Neil gets the 10 …… Roy C will spin some tunes ….

     

     

    A “Celtic Off” … Roy C v St Stivs ….

     

     

    Whooft … that’s a Celtic v Celtic

    hoops versus the shamrock tops.

     

     

    how very retro

    Surely “we” are all delighted about today … not saw any of the Neil Lennon dissenters on the blog … funny how at the first hurdle they are on with their Cluj & Fetenvarocis … but now praise for our manager … some have been known to write down in words “I never wanted him to start with” …. I sincerely hope Neil leads us to 10 but if he doesn’t he is still a Celtic legend for me

     

     

    “Blind Faith CSC”

  6. Of course people who are disillusioned with our manager/performances will come on after a defeat and say “I told you so.”

     

     

    It’s the same as people who back our manager coming on and saying “I told you so” after we win.

     

     

    That’s what happens when people have opposing views 😂

     

     

    I’m sure SFTB will have the term for it – confirmation bias or summat.

  7. Majestic Hartson 12.19am

     

     

    My bias is with Neil Lennon for one simple fact … since the year 2000 he has been one of the most influential Celtic players/managers for two massive decades …

     

     

    So for me he deserves our full backing

  8. I was sent a message earlier/ it’s not a tweet so I can’t link…

     

     

    “Today’s win marks 1626 days since any club in Scotland won a major trophy in this country other than Celtic.

     

     

    To put that into perspective, WW1 lasted 1568 days”

  9. MH 12.19am

     

     

    So the Neil Lennon dissenters can sit back and enjoy the good times … but if things go wrong (a draw) they are allowed to batted in and go for for our manager …. ???

     

     

    Like it or lump it some of our “fans” unconscious bias is too go for our manager …. led by Sky & the media

  10. I will clarify my last point … many were composing about Neil sitting in the dugout with his arms folded … that’s what Sky want you to see …. if Neil was bout coaching they will never show you that picture …. think about it … most complain about the media then just follow the media path

  11. MAJESTIC HARTSON on 1ST NOVEMBER 2020 8:35 PM

     

    Tremendous stuff today. As someone earlier said (my apologies for not remembering whom) it’s no coincidence we are playing better with Rogic in the team.

     

     

    Let’s keep him fit – and banned from travelling for Australia games.

     

     

    xxxxxx xxxxxx xxxxxx xxxxxx xxxxxx xxxxxx

     

     

    Let’s keep him fit – and banned from travelling for Australia games.

     

     

    but its the only chance he has of playing in Qatar lol

     

     

    what about Celtic_lite … err I mean Scotland, can we stop them as well??

     

     

    nothing ‘s putting me off my crumpet this morning, be well mate. peace

     

     

    dont mind contrary opinions frae the Celtic minded.

  12. We are in a decent place domestically….imagine letting the weight of social media form yer opinion

     

     

    Bada n Stivs

     

     

    thanks for the illumination….;-))

    “I thought Aberdeen had more possession than they shoulda given the gulf in spending/class; and they had more penalty box threat in the 2nd than we did. ”

     

     

    I certainly did not see this. I thought the 2nd half was extremely boring and trouble free. The stats show that Aberdeen had 42% possession, which is fairly meaningless unless you count where they had possession and how they used it. The stats show that they attempted15 shots with only 1 being on target; that suggests that we kept them to safe areas.

     

     

    Of course, because we fear a loss or a draw, we will want action to be taken earlier and earlier in a game; so much so that if Neil has not made his first two subs by half time he can safely be acused of complacency. Every sub is stick or twist decision, when it worls the team gets calmed and improves. When it does not work, it disrupts the rhythm and makes the team weaker. Some of our fans see subs as only positive moves but they can be good, ineffectual or downright bad for the team. Today, Neil has the luxury of being able to poit out that his decision to “stick” and not twist until the 73rd minute was completely supported by the end scoreline. Those who felt we were raising the risk of a lost goal were proven wrong. Now, those that called for Ntcham to be subbed earlier on Thursday have a very strong point. He had been a magnificent player in the first half and everything he did in the 2nd turned to merde. There was no-one in the Ntcham category today.

     

     

     

    One thing’s for sure. Scott Bain will tell you what an easy day he had.

     

     

    Oh! and if you are not infected by 10iar Angst then you are in a minority of one in our support.

     

     

    This is a big season and it is almost impossible not to fear losing out on a highly valued prize. I keep hoping that we will see the same resilience and defiance that our support showed in Seville when we lost out on a huge prize but I think there is little likelihood that we will do so.

     

     

    Aff to ma bed.

     

     

    Tomorrow morning is the first day of my official retirement. My time is now my own, though my wife disagrees with this concept.

  14. The hand of God on

    Hopefully yesterday’s result will set us up for a nice long run of wins.Good to have Rogic and Eddy back in the team when we get these guys upto speed I’m sure someone will take a hammering. Tom of course has had several assists and I’m Sure as soon as Eddy gets going the goals will come thick and fast.

  15. SFTB 12.55am

     

     

    I hope you have a very long and very happy retirement ….

     

     

    Hopefully more time ,,, to put the negations on here right ….

     

     

    P67 might not bd happy … might be less negative traffic if SFTB is on duty all day :-)

     

     

    All kidding aside well don and enjoy (fellow happy clapper) 🍀🍀

  16. SFTB – on here, it’s all – and only – about opinions.

     

    But it’s patently wrong to insist you can only make subs out of fear; you need to blood young players into games esp when you have a well-earned lead and I still think wi games coming thick and fast, we should be able to spell a Rogic or Broon or Cal with their eventual replacements. But I’ll watch the 2nd half again with your perspective in mind.

     

    I hope you do enjoy yr retirement and hope your missus lets you.

     

    Mine tells me I’m one-in-a-million, so I’m happy to be in the minority of resilient Tic fans as well.

     

    Nite nite and HH

  17. The hand of God on

    GFTB….you seem to know the inner thoughts of Celtic fans…I’m sure many who have come on criticising NFL for recent results and performances are aware of how the media portrays him and dislike it as much as you do but NFL is the Celtic manager and his selections ,tactics and formations will be discussed and praised or complained about on a Celtic blog.Im sure 90% of the guys criticising his management still desperately want him to succeed.You are having a go at people that come on the blog after a draw a defeat or a bad performance but you do the same thing after a win.As long as people are respectful to NFL they can say what they like about the team’s performance and NFL’s also.

  18. Well done Bada bing top timmery on posting

    Only going on the vitriol aimed towards “our” manager … I don’t know anything apart from the views I read on here … unless you think they have been positive forwards Neil … maybe we read the sane words but don’t agree the way the words or sentiments of said words

  20. He ain’t worried about tomorrow

     

    ‘Cause he just made up his mind

     

    Life’s too short for burning bridges

     

    Take it one day at a time

     

     

    another all nighter, sigh, had so much to do today. ack well, nae bother. why put of today what you can put off again tomorrow.

     

     

    bugger it, another crumpet and may as well watch the game again

     

    be well

  21. MAJESTIC HARTSON on 1ST NOVEMBER 2020 11:24 PM

     

    Saint Stivs,

     

    To be fair on the people who have not been happy with the tactics, we are playing better since we have changed tactics. Maybe they had a point….

     

    ——

     

    And on tactics…

     

    Can anyone explain to me why changing to a 3-5-2 after Christmas helped us win the league yet we have struggled with it this season and are now reaping the benefits of 4 at the back?

     

    …..

     

     

    I’d like to hear comments on that too.

     

    I remember clearly when we lost the game against them in December last year the talk was all about our midfield being overrun by theirs because we stuck to a back 4. Then after Dubai it was 3 5 2 or 3 4 2 1 and the rest is history.

  22. Hand of God

     

     

    I think I said or posted … surely Neil’s fans should be allowed to back him up as the many many detractors are quick enough … I apologise if I didn’t make my position clear … I take it you don’t fancy Neil as our manager … you seem pretty defensive after a day Celtic reach another final …maybe I kissed your joy :-)

    Very pleased with that. Two great goals and another two assists from Rogic. Great to get a much needed win under our belts. Well done Bhoys.

     

     

     

    Hail! Hail!

     

     

    ……………………………………..

     

     

    I’ve got to say that you are just about the most poisonous Celtic supporter I’ve ever encountered. You are totally incapable of coming on here and just enjoying a Celtic victory and discussing the points of interest in the game and what it is likely to mean for Celtic going forward. No, none of that for you. I have read your posts tonight – laced with poison. You’re the one who constantly drip, drip, drips the venom on here. There are Celtic fans on here who have been supporting the team and going to games since before you were born. We have watched players and managers down through the years, too numerous to mention and we have the right to form and state our opinions on them without having to suffer the semi literate sniping from shit stirrers like you.

    Happy finishing paid employment day.

     

    Retirement is not what you should call it.

     

    Don’t know your line of business but if it was like mine, tomorrow morning you’ll waken up unfashionably early & almost get your mind into work mode.

     

     

    Happy Days Ahead
