    The Cure live in concert on BBC 2. Remember listening over and over to A Forest in 1980 and living it. My son is not impressed by Mr Smith’s style 🤣

    Brendan not happy with the mole but delighted with Maeda:

     

     

    “Brendan Rodgers refused to let a team LEAK put a dampener on Celtic’s day as it rained goals at Hampden.

     

     

    The Hoops hammered in-form Aberdeen 6-0 in a Premier Sports Cup last four clash to book their final berth on December 15. A Daizen Maeda hat-trick and goals from Kyogo, Nicolas Kuhn and Cameron Carter-Vickers put the Dons to the sword. But only after Rodgers’ starting line-up appeared on social media before kick-off for the second game in a row.

     

     

    It also happened before their Premiership victory over Dundee in midweek and the manager has vowed to find the Parkhead mole. But after a scintillating display against Jimmy Thelin’s men he doesn’t want it to detract from their performance. On the team news leak, Rodgers said: “It’s clearly disappointing and it’s not ideal, however it comes out.

     

     

    “There are no real secrets in football, that’s the reality. But it’s not nice when it gets out there. And especially if it’s from Celtic supporters.

     

     

    “It might feel great for someone’s ego to put it out and pass it on to other people. But as a manager, I can tell you that I’ve had that before with opposition teams. And when I’ve got to know about it, it has really helped me in my preparation – and it has helped me win games.

     

     

    “So whoever is putting it out, if it’s someone from Celtic, you’re not a Celtic supporter. Because you’re not helping Celtic. We will do everything we can to find out (who it is). But I don’t get angry about it. It’s the modern world now, isn’t it? There’s so much communication.

     

     

    “But I’d like to think it won’t be until you play Celtic and you’re standing in front of them that you feel our intensity. You can never know that until you play against us.

     

     

    “It won’t dampen our performance and our achievement today, which was absolutely brilliant. We were outstanding. Aberdeen have been so good in the league so we knew how tough it would be. We had to be really good so it’s a massive credit to the players for their mentality and how ruthless they were.”

     

     

    Celtic had top performers all over the pitch but Japanese winger Maeda was the pick of the bunch with his treble. He gave Aberdeen’s defence a torrid time and Rodgers praised his desire afterwards.

     

     

    He said: “It’s a special day for Daizen to get a hat-trick in a semi-final. It’s just his hunger, isn’t it? He hasn’t been feeling great for a few weeks before he went away with Japan but has come back and been great.

     

     

    “I gave him a rest during the week but his appetite to work hard and run is incredible. He’s getting into areas now and has scored important goals for us this season.

     

     

    “Daizen is a joy to work with. He wants to run, we want him to run and we’re a running team. We need to be active in games and there’s no-one more active than him.”

     

     

    This was a statement performance from Rodgers’ team – even if he refused to admit it at full-time. Instead, he says they played too slow in the first half, despite being three goals up.

     

     

    They stepped up a gear in the second half to hit six and it set them up perfectly for a mouth-watering Champions League clash with RB Leipzig at Parkhead on Tuesday night. Rodgers said: “It’s exciting for us. We needed to and wanted to make a really good performance today. And we’ve done that.

     

     

    “Now, we’re playing against a top team from a great league so it will be another challenge for us. But it will be absolutely rocking at Celtic Park, so we will look forward to that. When Celtic really need a result, our fans can bring it closer to us and hopefully that will be the case on Tuesday night.”

     

     

    After a sensational win, Rodgers could laugh off a comedy moment in the first half at Hampden when he slipped on the turf booting a ball back on to the pitch – and picked up a yellow card from ref Kevin Clancy.

     

     

    He said: “To be fair, it was well deserved! I shouldn’t be falling over there. It was because I kicked the ball on to the pitch. I bounced up pretty quickly, probably from embarrassment. It was a bit slippy with my shoes so it was a good decision by Kevin.”

    Charlie Mulgrew the new scapegoat oan here noo

     

    An he wisney een playin….

     

    Dearie dearie me

  11. call me Gerry on

    How good was that TEAM performance today?

     

     

    Well, it was that good it makes it tricky to pick 3 out for Jobo. I expect most will, understandably, pick Maeda for his hat trick. Personally, I think Khun deserves a vote for having a telling contribution to 4 of the goals. The third vote was harder to pick for me, but I thought Hatate shaded it ahead of the others.

     

     

    So, my 3 for Jobo are :-

     

     

    Maeda

     

    Khun

     

    Hatate

    Disappointed with Charlie Mulgrew tonight , must be looking to keep his job on the box . That was a super performance from Celtic Charlie , don’t go down the anti Celtic road .

    BBC saying Dundee game is postponed- any info

    Because we’re playing in the League Cup final instead

  14. setting free the bears for Res. 12 & Oscar Knox on

    Well- how much fun can one bhoy take and live?

     

     

    There was some great football played today but, though I never heard what Charlie Mulgrew said, I agree we were not the complete package today. We were very good in spells but almost every player had a spell of slipping, careless passing and being caught in possession.

     

     

    That said- The Kuhn & Hatate performances were close to their season’s best. We ask a lot of these guys- to break locked down defences- but Hatate is charged with making the forward passes when other midfielders play safer and Kuhn is asked to run at speed and keep control. Like Jota, he is worthy of keeping James Forrest out of the team. I am also gonna keep Maeda out of the top 3, despite the hat trick as I have to find space for young Valle who can beat a man – he is already an improvement on Greg.

     

     

    As for Aberdeen their physical approach didn’t win this time. I was surprised that Thelin gave Calmac so much room- he put Jamie McGrath on Callum but he was merely shadowing Calmac- rarely tackling or disrupting. Unfortunately, Callum was not at his best to take advantage of the leeway he was given but he still contributed during our purple patches.

     

     

    Loved this semi-final- they are often fairly boring affairs but Celtic produced some great patches of play today.

  15. DeniaBhoy on

    Maybe I have got carried away with the score but I felt that was our most complete performance since BR returned. Aberdeen were brimming with confidence and were utterly blown away.

  16. Burnley78 on

    Brilliant today. Just brilliant.

     

     

    The govan lot will be conflicted tonight.

     

     

    Do they really want to win and then have to play us 64 hours after they play spurs in the europa cup in the final ?

     

     

    Do they want to see clement given a lifeline as manager on Sunday ?

     

     

    Do they want to be there and see us steal their imaginary girlfriend of a world record right from under their noses before Xmas ?

  19. DeniaBhoy on

    From FF:

     

     

    Really?

     

     

    There are actually Rangers supporters saying they want Rangers to lose tomorrow.

     

     

    Let that sink in.

     

    ——–

     

    Worse is Celtic fans wanting us to win.

  21. clunks on

    just noticed on CCV’s goal. watch daizen block the keeper…..

     

     

    Unseen, and giving the big man a free header

  22. Darwin on

    Brendan addressing the leaks saying what some of us have been saying on here for a long time – “if you hurt Celtic, you’re are not Celtic supporters.

     

     

    That equally goes for those who hurt us with UEFA fines for songs, banners, flags and pyros – they know who they are and we know those who defend them.

     

     

    The team-leakers think they’re ’smart Alec’s’, the others think they can do what they like at Celtic Park and elsewhere in the name of Celtic.

     

     

    They are not Celtic supporters, they are detractors that harm the club financially and reputationaliy – now it’s official straight from our manager’s lips. HH & God Bless Brendan Rodgers

  25. DeniaBhoy on

    Clunks – thanks for the link. Never noticed during the game that Kyogo was sent sprawling just as Maeda was about to score the 3rd. It is 2nd replay of the goal shows best angle. Maybe being cynical but it’s the kind of challenge that will put his shoulder out.

  26. YogiHughes on

    Obviously Maeda and Kuhn for Mom, but don’t ignore the big difference to the the team, IMP.

     

    I thouught Calum had a great game linking the defence to attack and always available to take a pass.

    Meaning we know how ordinary people can be demeaned. Basic civil rights should not be a party political issue

    The aberdeen boy had his hands all over him, its the nonsense he has to put up with every game

     

     

    Every now and again he bites back (then makes a big show of making sure the guy he has mullered is ok) but not for a while now – be good to see him bite bak every now and again

  33. !!Bada Bing!! on

    Difficult to pick Jobo’s 3…..not a weakness, brilliant to see Daizen back on it…..Hatate outstanding…..could go on….

  34. Turkeybhoy on

    Personally,I like Charlie Mulgrew,but in a first half we scored 3,totally ran the show,Aberdeen,no attempts at our goal,yet he thought we did not really play well !!!!!.

     

    Nonsense for me.

  38. MadraRua on

    All the team were brilliand and there is no team in Scotland can live with us when that happens.

     

    Maeda gets man of the match, but Hatate was sublime

    /

     

     

    What does he have to say about the 5WA colluders on the board?

  42. !!Bada Bing!! on

    I thought Brendan had a wee bit of fire in his belly at the presser yesterday, about squandering the 2 goal lead a couple of weeks ago, he obviously used it today to get the team fired up,I did fancy us to blow then away
