Snake Plissken
You miss my point completely.
Why any Celtic fan would take the time and trouble to phone up a panel consisting of 2 ex-Rangers players and publicly criticie anything to do with Celtic is beyond me.
You then have the crazy situation of a Celtic fan attacking the club and an ex rangers player defending our club.
The only people that enjoy those type of calls are Rangers fans.
Brown on Snyde just now talking about the “harsh” sending off. He felt that there were other fouls in the game equally as bad that escaped a card. Aye by your players !!!

Future:
We need MCCourt in behind the front two. Forrest right of him, Commons left (if he’s interested/off the burgers), Kayal (again, interest level?) and Ledley/Wanyama/Broon the two sititng in front of a back three, shoring us up.
how about wanyama and kayal in front of the defence, mccourt behind the front 2, commons left, brown right?

Ghuys, love the sound of this formation/line up, BUT ‘n’ it’s a big but.
We would need a strong back three we can depend on to play it !

the players still have time to prove me wrong i would keep james forrest he is young and still has a lot to learn and will be good in the future, kayal is a good player but he thinks he is a class above the rest of everyone else i think we need 1 CM 1CB (2 would be class) 1 GK and the strikers have until january before i have completely made my mind up about them because hooper is just back from injury, stokes is good enough for the now, bangura is only new but im not sure about samaras i think he might have to go
When I left home it was 3 – 1. When I reached the pub it was 5 – 1 – and I saw the sixth goal. It was priceless to see the faces of our Irish ManU supporters packed into the pub to watch their heroes. Very few of them have ever been or will ever go to Old Trafford, but they are ManU supporters. The pub won’t show Celtic so I had to transfer to the GAA club. Mised the first goal but was happy to observe our English supporting “twits”.
Mediocre fare at CP today but 3 points in the bag. As Mort said some time ago it’s better to watch a crap match and get 3 points than watch a super match and not get 3 points.
Missed the boat this morning! I blame J Jameson!
Just back from the game.
Today’s performance was a mixed bag. We played well and dominated the stats.
7shots on target and 8 off target when Aberdeen had 1 in both those categories.
The foul count was 4 to their 17 so their bookings were justified. We played well in patches but we are slow to break upfield and always likely to make a slip in defence.
Main thing is it was 3 points after a Europa night.
BTW the foul count in the hunfest was 12 by Hearts and 14 by der hun resulting in 4 Hearts YCs and only 2 huns booked.
Have Huns stopped phoning BBC?
You think they would follow there leaders lead.
When are Utd and City going to play the second set?

yeah thats a problem but maybe we could play stokes on his own but im not too sure if that would work then

=====================================================
Yeah, either or like I said alongside Kayal.
Point it, this 4-4-2 isn’t working against mediocre sides whose limitations allow them to set up against KNOWN methods.
Throwing in a handful of variables in the shape of Paddy, commons/Forrest/etc (even Sammi) in a 3-2-3-2, whilst still having the defensive players for security gives them more trouble than they can handle.
The SPL players we come up against are allowed to sit in their comfort zones.
The SPL sides we come up against have little to think about beyond their discipline and organisation.
About time we gave them a load to think about, took them out of their comfort zones and matched up man-a-mano. Quality will win. Barca do it every week – force teams to abandon plans, to go head-to-head in all areas of the pitch. Once you drag them out,t here’s no going back and you go for their throats.
We did it agaisnt the Orcs Jan-April then got hesitant, blew the lead.
Winning breeds confidence. We need to get bakck to winning and being confident. The 4-4-2 doesn’t work with these players, who ARE good enough to bury the SPL. I just want to see Lenny give the right players with the right attitudes the chance to shine. The winners will emerge.
It is very blue all over Manchester tonight.
Well done the hoops.

very well said i agree completely
but who will be our back 3?
Just realised that was our first win 5 games in all competation….
Just back from game, good result but we are an awful team at the moment. Too many players not good enough and a pedestrian style of play that is very easy to defend against. Defensively we go from between vulnerable to a shambles, and the keeper is bag of nerves. Too many similar type players in the midfield and a striker who doesn’t look fit or interested.
heard Terry o on snyde coming home from match..
he speaks sense and they are unable to answer his questions…
re the match…
Hooper needs a rocket uo his erse and wee Forrest needs rested….
Stokes seems to have got the finger out..
a victory for the hoops….

I saw no nerves from the keeper and spotted several smart saves. Funny game the old football opinions
Paw Broon, darling of the shortbread sports panel is piqued the sending

Murdo McHun and the Beggar are in despair the Ref’s ‘curious’ decisions.
I was reliant on the posted commentary to supplement the poor BBC feed at it’s
Hun gruel best to relay the events impartially!
Well done our men.(CQN and CFC).
Retard Gordhun is a classic case; Hun turned

lies down to broadloan.
The Emphasis must always be on the pressure that ‘Lennon’ is
under and the absolute necessity of a Win because The Mighty
Rankurs are so fabulously skilled that they shall be soaraway and
defacto prizewinners come Juvember.
Elsewhere the scowling hun whispered is afforded “shame game” summits
and new Timmy law enforcements to appease his shameful club in what should

Just in from game. Haven’t read back. So, this is only my take on things. Firstly, a win was badly needed. We got it. I think we deserved it. But, and it is a big big BUT, we don’t play as a team; we don’t pass and move; we don’t play to any real tempo; we don’t play with confidence. Partly, this is because we have a couple of passengers, imo, Ki (and I know he scored) is worst at the moment. Did he break sweat?
Perforce I had to listen to Radio Scotland. Their current scapegoat is Kayal, whom, I thought, was much improved on last week. MacLeod lambasted him for shouting at the ref to let Matthews back on because he had the ball. MacLeod failed to mention that the whole team and the crowd had been screaming at the ref for the previous minute for just that. They were obviously upset that Aberdeen didn’t get anything out of the game. I am glad they didn’t. They have now joined the knuckledraggers. My mate and I dismissed before the game the idea that Brown would hve his team kicking us all over the park. Well, we were proved wrong. Will they get away with that next week? Will Radio Scotland fail to mention it, as they did today?

I saw total indecision at the very end of the game when he should have easily gathered the ball but let it hit off him and out for a corner, an error he raised his hand to. He is a poor keeper with no confidence, a combination that will cost us.
Just in.
Hooper needs dropped or sold. He is not fit or not interested. I know they are youngsters but watt, george or keetings are better than him at the moment. Three points bagged but another nervy poor home performance. :-(

Our team is lacking in confidence at the moment and its one of the demands on the manager not only to pick the team or set up the tactics but to build up the players confidence and unfortunate it doesnt appear tp be happening.One good thing after our win today is that we have pulled back two points on Motherwell and a win is a win.H.H.

Just realised that was our first win 5 games in all competation….
I bought a pair of hoops ankle socks before I went to Sharm. Wore them flying out v Huns.
Wore them since. We did not win a match.
Went out this morning and decided not to wear them.
Should I throw them in the bin?
googybhoy
get them in the washing machine first…
Listening to Snyde tonight you would have thought we had lost today. Keevins forgot to mention that this was a victory following a good result in France.
Well Done Charlie – He really cares and knows what it’s all about.
We were 2 wrong decisions in front of goal short of a 4-1 win. Paddy should have cut back and how did Stokes totally miss that header in front of goal ?
Snyde were sniggering about NL’s claim that some team, soon, are in for a hammering from us. I hope the Team let the bar stewards laugh on the other sides of their mugs midweek.
Watching the coverage (in french) it looked like the team were doing what in rugby would be termed going through the phases. I missed the point where our strikers converted their chances. We had plenty, by the way and for a while I imagined another of those games where the keeper has a career day. What I also saw was players gesticulating to each other. There just seems to be something missing. Hooper was the most disappointing.
Is Hooper just lacking in confidance?
He didn’t become a bad player over night…I mean this time last year we were asking y he never made the england U23 squad (can’t remember if it was euros or world cup) now we have punters on saying he should be sold
Charlie is my darling – I knew he would be good for us…he shouldn’t be our stand out player though…but he most certainly is POTY 1 horse race?

As a rule ah never criticise anything to do with Celtic,while on clyde ah agree with your sentiment.
Ah made an exception today because ah thought they made light of a previous callers impassioned defence of Lenny and finger pointing at the board for not backing him sufficiently.
They wer making ther usual snide comments about the guys call,it made me mad combined wae the frustration of watching ‘make do’Celtic players wearing our strip
.Ah decided to break ma own rule an go on an back the guys criticism but ah take yir point..
blantyretim Snake Plissken Kevin thanks for the acknowledgement.
I also wonder whether there are players who are thinking about their long term health playing in the SPL.
Hooper needs rested. I suspect 3 weeks on the bench and he comes back on fire..?
why was bangura not on the bench today? injured? he doesn’t look the part but i’d have thought that we should have had at least one striker on the bench?
Just in from the match, grateful for the three points
Stokes, Mulgrew and Wanyama justfying by their workrate and commitment the right to wear the famous hoops
Team needs much work in the training pitch, far to many faults
Referee was a complete joke today, £800 for that as for the North stand Assistant pathetic love to know how the man in the stand scored them today
Kayal33
that incident happened at the opposite end to me so I will watch it closely on TV later. At the time I thought he was risking injury from the Aberdeen forward to challenge for the ball and I was questioning how those 2 were isolated together. As with the goal, I was asking, what were the defenders doing. 2 missed easy tackles and 3 formed a screen, without blocking the ball, to allow Jack to curl the ball with the keeper unsighted.
Did you spot the “nerves” before that 90th minute incident when he was cutting out dangerous crosses and coming off his line to collect balls in the air.
I fear some fans have gigantophobia

agree re. ref. an embarassment, as was his main stand side linesman
Are we not ever so lucky to have a guardian angel in the deserts of Nevada to explain to us how our team is underperforming ?
I am sure you are as grateful as me for his measured analysis.
God Bless our colonial adviser.
