  1. Eyes Wide Open on

    Very good ‘industrious’ performance.

     

    We ran ourselves into the ground, which we had to do because there will little guile or craft.

     

    It had to be workmanlike.

     

     

    Toss up between C Mulgrew and V V Dyke for MoM.

     

     

    CM’s intelligence and knowing when to cover team mates out of position was critical tonight – if possibly unnoticed.

     

     

    Wee J Forrest still has that aspect to add to his game when he wasnt as sharp at covering in the 2nd half.

     

    big Fraser looked like a great wall any time our defence looked like it might be penetrated.

     

    I also think special praise for A Stokes because he chased and harried like a tiger tonight – not something that comes natural to him and was therefore a conscious effort of knowing he had to go over and beyond.

     

     

    I dont know what Pukki is going to bring to this team, although I have faith in Lennon because he has gone pretty far out there in his pursuit and backing of the man.

     

     

    I see someone who isnt going to add to the physical nature of our game, isnt going to win aerial battles and wont be therefore capable of holding the ball up overly effective. He also isnt quick enough to run in behind defences.

     

    However, thats not his fault – so what do I see in his locker that he can influence..

     

    Does he chase and harry – I dont think so. Does he go in for tackles and put his leg in where others wont – I dont think so.

     

     

    So im a wee bit miffed at the min but as I said ill back Lennons judgement as being better than mine at this stage (he proved me way wrong on Forster!!)

     

     

    All I want for Xmas is Kayal to be given 90 mins on the pitch too by the way!

  2. Catman supports Wee Oscar on

    Just back from the game…….. In a word……Fantastic.

     

     

    I thought Izzy was back to his very very best closely followed by Charlie and VVD. Every player deserves praise as they gave every ounce of energy for us.

     

     

    Any links to the GB Tifo…..? Superb again bhoys

  5. cliftonville celt from belfast praying for Oscar the wee legend on

    Redknap just loves our club

     

    Hoddle loves our manager

     

    Wilkins respects us

     

     

    Jeff is an unrepentant Fenian

     

     

    Thought Pukki & Stokes were excellent their movement especially Stokes was fantastic – Efe and VVD are world class

     

     

    Glad to see Kayal score and put in a good shift against a good side in Europe will do his confidence the world of good – still think there is a player hiding in there !

     

     

    Off to bed a happy hoopy

    Jamie still on about Lenny on Sky

  7. DUSHANBE BHILLY BHOY on

    Pukki means “farts” in Russian.

     

     

    Says it all for me on tonight’s performance….

     

     

    …..a lot of hot air.

  8. TootingTim supports Wee Oscar on

    Terrific performances throughout an unfamiliar line-up.

     

     

    Well done Neil and the Bhoys!

     

     

    HH!

  11. Kayal33 on

    I was seated above the Ajax fans. There were about 100 of them intent on trouble. lots of seats ripped out and thrown. They kicked off twice during half time break when Celtic supporters produced Palestinian flags.

     

    What was also noticeable was it was the stewards who were holding them back and trying to keep order. Alex Army were standing by watching with very few getting involved.

  12. CultsBhoy loves being 1st forever & ever on

    James F bombed it a few times tonight. I’d have tried him up front on his own for 10 mins….he could spring a few traps!

  13. Living_in_the_Love_of_the_Commons_People on

    Imagine what it’s like to be a hun tonight in darkest, damp and grey Govan?

    The police where just waiting incase they sang ROH then they would have waded in :-) HH

  18. FFM - I’m the only conspiracy theorist in the village) on

    Pukkie worked his arse off, and settled well in a new formation as did all the Bhoys.

     

     

    Brilliant stuff from a brilliant team.

     

     

    My worry is are the complainants plants from Jack Irvine or plants from a Celtic PR company to deflect from the potential exposure of evil bastard Jack Irvine. My feelings on the latter don’t worry me too much though, as his cookie is about to be crumbled.

     

     

    Such is the workings of Masonic protection.

     

     

    Levels disintegrate.

  23. ASonOfDan on

    Ajax are one of the worst teams ever at Paradise on CL. In saying that Forster kept us in the game.

     

     

    I hate Forrest… Sorry…

  25. notthebus on

    I see Pukki has taken the much coveted “whipping boy” post from Beram.

     

     

    On a a night when a weakend celtic team grind out a victory against a decent CL team perhaps we should enjoy the moment before we start ripping into our new players.

     

     

    Still , each to their own

     

     

    me, I am just delighted with the result and i salute every one of our hooped heroes and I thought Pukki put in a decent shift.

  26. John O'Neil on

    So Pukki is the latest to be condemned? May he follow all the rest who have shut the moaners up. The guy needs time to adapt to a new system. Safe journey home all.

  27. timbhoy in spain on

    James Forrest has come back from injury looking really hungry for the ball.

     

    So glad for him & the Tic he hit a great penalty.

     

    Oh how good is it tae be a TIM ?

     

    Hail hail.

  29. 67Heaven ... I am Neil Lennon, supporting WEE OSCAR..!!.. Ibrox belongs to the creditors on

    Breathtakingly wonderful, not least when you consider the standard we have to compete against domestically…..teams where some of their players are bitter little (brutal) bhuns, and games where SOME referees are blatantly biased, NOT incompetent….

     

     

    To overcome that, and compete against FOOTBALL PLAYERS is amazing…

     

     

    God bless NFL……HH

    Correct…..we always have to contend with those who would be moaners….comical, really……

  33. The Battered Bunnet on

    Really enjoyed tonight’s match, and a result which puts us into an interesting position as regards the next two fixtures.

     

     

    When Forster eventually leaves us we’ll need to wipe our eyes with an unfathomably large pile of banknotes.

     

     

    Van Dijk is improving with every passing game, and he was pretty impressive to start with.

     

     

    Great to see reminiscent performances from Izzy and Beram. Both of these guys have had a rough old time trying to recapture form, but I thought they were terrific tonight.

     

     

    Charlie Mulgrew is living the dream. A remarkable sequence of performances stretching back 2 years now.

     

     

    Sammi: I run out of vocabulary.

     

     

    James Forrest, really well played, not least given the recent illness and whatnot. Cool as one of Kojo’s cucumbers fresh from the cool box.

     

     

    Easy to overlook Efe, but we’re pretty solid in the centre of defence, and he’s half of that.

     

     

    Stokesy worked hard to little effect, bar neat footwork for the pen.

     

     

    But Teemu Pukki. sorry chap, this is Celtic. That was a Champions League match. You were disinterested. I can accept that every player has an off night, it happens to the best. But indifference? I can’t accept that.

     

     

    Lenny will sort you though. He’s pretty good at that sort of thing. Another clever game plan from one of the best young managers in the business.

    Anyone slagging pukki off hasn’t a clue.

     

    He worked very very hard tonight.

     

    Pressed chased harried ran.

     

    Him and stokes were superb at defending from the front and forcing ajax defenders to make mistakes.

     

     

    Let’s see what wgs says now on ITV.

  40. John O'Neil on

    Battered Bunnet.

     

     

    That is one daft comment about Pukki. Disinterested? Not a chance. He ran and ran. That suggests interest. Good night all.

  41. Kayal33 on

    Listening to sportsound on way back. They were saying the UEFA stats had the Ajax keeper having 29 completed passes. Peter Grant said that’s more than he had in his career.

  42. Living_in_the_Love_of_the_Commons_People on

    How often in the latter stages of the game did Charlie Mulgrew pop up in the middle of central defense to make a tackle?
