  1. Well done Celtic on the 3 points.

     

     

    Still concerned about the manager’s tactics and the standard of player that’s being brought into the club.

    One mans negativity is another’s honest comment

     

     

    No we’re not related…we are just two CFC fans with differing opinions to you …life mate …

    ………….. and your point is?

     

     

    My post was relative to home performances this season!

     

     

    ——

     

     

    We led twice against the team you suggest we need to be ‘doing us a favour’

     

     

    My point should be obvious

    Clearly Ross County are awful

     

    ————–

     

     

    You were just annoyed we scored another goal ( or 2 ) ;-)

     

     

    Any bets tonight?

  5. What is the Stars on

    Phil bhoy, beleive it or not up until this season I was a pro board loyalist, thought they had a very sensible policy, I used to think that pf and canamalar and others who criticised the board were being unreasonable and then lawell gave us Ronny, and that was it I took to the hills with my snipers rifle and I won’t come down until ronny is gone

  6. Yep. Won a European match tonight. Didn’t play well but won.

     

     

    Eijits with short memories think we re going backwards.

     

     

    Everything smacks of we deserve better mentality.

  7. the glorious balance sheet on

    Big wavy

     

     

    Boavista were a better team than Maribor and Astra. By some distance. At that time they were outperforming Sporting Lisbon and Benfica in the league.

     

     

    They were UEFA cup semi finalists so were obviously a team of decent quality.

     

     

    They had a goalkeeper Ricardo who went onto win about 50 caps for Portugal, and played in world cups and European championships.

     

     

    They could not be compared in any way to the Maribor team I watched earlier this season or to that really poor Astra team I watched tonight.

     

     

    Maribor provide 1 player for the Slovenian national team. That is how good they are.

     

     

    Nothing that we did in the Seville season can possibly be cast up to excuse or rationalise what we are being served up this season. It is a ridiculous comparison that bears no scrutiny at all.

  8. Ellboy - I am Neil Lennon, YNWA. on

    Fans have their part to play no doubt but there are a number of things wrong with our club both on and off the pitch at the moment. I don’t blame sections of the support for displaying their frustrations. Whether it be vocally or as is more often these days with the vast empty spaces around the stadium.

     

     

    Something ain’t right and if things are allowed to linger on (Not just the manager) then the longer we will see continued fan apathy.

     

     

    HH!

  9. Just thing out.

     

    Three points won, thanks very much, but the performance was poor.

     

    Tonight, it’d didnt seem to me it was tactics, or lack of shape.

     

    It was players not passing 5 yards, or running to close down, or make space.

     

    Seldom seen Scott Brown play so poorly.

     

    Scepovic and Johansen played ok.

     

    Gordon played very well.

     

    That was about it. Even Lustig looked out of sorts.

     

    Tonev, please no more, he may have skill, but hide and seek isn’t the game.

     

     

    But, three points, learn, move on and improve.

    Scepovic and Johansen scored …interesting that you consider that was a result of substitutions

     

     

    Agreed. Other than Wakaso winning the free kick for the 1st goal. Tonev?no, thanks.

     

    Kayal,?no,thanks.

     

     

    Disclaimer: This is not an anti- Ronny post. His selection was o.k., his formation was o.k., his ability to get the team up for the game?????????

    I forgot, it’s only the guy who scores that contributes to goals, thanks

  12. Just back from the game, my first in two months owing to work commitments.

     

     

    Feeling slightly more detached these days so went into this with few prejudices about how we were playing.

     

     

    But the only positive from tonight was the result. The performance was dire.

     

     

    We looked disjointed, shapeless, uninterested, slack… our possession was terrible, our passing really sloppy. We didn’t pose them a threat until Tonev came on, and even then we almost contrived to throw it away.

     

     

    Astra were a poor team, and yet they’ll be kicking themselves as 3 points were theirs for the taking.

     

     

    I shudder to think what would have happened if we had scraped into the CL. Ronaldo would be able to beat us on his own.

     

     

    Ronnie spent a lot of time, arms folded, in the dugout. Ocassionally JC would tap him on the shoulder, but the lack of energy from the technical area was noticeable. I am reluctant to read too much into this stuff, but I really get the sense that either he doesn’t know what he is doing, or the players haven’t a clue what they are supposed to do.

     

     

    Worrying times.

  13. Sun Tzu would have been all right about tonight.

     

     

    “Be extremely subtle, even to the point of formlessness.”

     

     

    I trust Ronny. Nothing ever got changed from top to bottom without blood, pish and a terrible amount of caterwauling. Including us.

  14. Had to work tonight and never seen the game,

     

    seems like I am the lucky one,

     

    but had anyone said we would have seven points at this stage

     

    I would have been delighted

  15. Pedro…….

     

     

    I have been following Celtic since the early 50’s.

     

     

    If there are any young posters on here complaining about Celtic, they huvny feckin’ lived!!

     

     

    Good night and god bless.

  16. On a side issue, when you look at how poor we were tonight, you look at the opposition, the fact it was the Europa Cup, you look at the closed top tier and the empty seats in the bottom, you really have to wonder how on earth Peter Lawell managed to steal £400, 000 in bonus money from our coffers.

     

     

    Its absolutely galling.

  17. No confidence, no composure, no passion no aggression, no shape, no ideas no pace. WTF is going on. Why does everyone try and play 1 touch all the time when we could take a touch and play a better pass?

     

    We won though it was awful for most of the game but fair play to Scepovic he kept going and took his chance ( at last). He has good movement and I think will come good. Major problems in the midfield we need a ball winner and we need some physical strength throughout the team. Lustig still does not look fully fit and he loos thin.

     

    Thank goodness for Craig Gordon our hero again he needs to be signed on a long term deal ASAP.

     

     

    Hail hail my fellow Tims and good nite.

  18. What Is The Stars?

     

     

    What Is The Effing Point, more like. A sad fud who wills Celtic to lose just so he can come on here to bitch and whine like a wee lassie and bore everyone to death with his anti-Ronny sniping.

     

     

    Me? I’m delighted with the win and top spot in the group. No, it wasn’t a vintage performance but who honestly expected plain sailing all the way? The pant wetting glory hunters who don’t actually go to the games, that’s who. GIRFUY all. You’re not Celtic supporters in my book.

  19. The team we BEAT tonight ….

     

    Knocked out Lyon in the qualification round

     

     

    That’ll be LYON

     

    who this season have beaten :

     

    Monaco

     

    Lille

     

    St Etienne

     

    Montpellier

     

    Rennes (twice)

     

    And drew with Paris St Germaine

     

     

    But just not good enough say some …..

     

     

    GET A GRIP

  20. Back to Basics - Glass Half Full on

    absolutely terrible. We were so lucky. This guy Deila is so lucky. We should have lost tonight.

     

     

    We were lucky not to lose in Salzburg and lucky against Dinamo.

     

     

    We should have 0 points. I don’t think it helps the Celtic fans that we actually have 7.

     

     

    All it does is paper over the cracks. This guy is rubbish. We are terrible. We don’t deserve 7 points (unlike all the other teams who have seven points and are BRILLIANT).

     

     

    Face it we’re just bad and getting worse. I’ve made up my mind about this guy. Where is he from? Lapland or something.

     

     

    Rubbish, terrible, awful. Even if we win the league, the cup, the league cup and get to the last 16 of the Europa league it will only be because that team are lucky.

     

     

    Hail Hail

  21. Glorious balance sheet

     

     

    At home . That night. We were pish. We booed the team thinking we’d a buy to the final, They were no great shakes and your post is revisionist at best .

     

     

    It wasn’t also the transitional season either. Not like for like.

  22. BOBBY MURDOCH'S CURLED-UP WINKLEPICKERS on

    PHILBHOY

     

     

    Ah,the famine years.

     

     

    You wanna hear my Dad when he starts on that!

     

     

    It’s even worse than his tales of a tangerine at Christmas.

     

     

    (Btw,the stocking probably had a hole in it so he had to find the bloody thing too!)

  23. Match went exactly as I forecast last night hanging on to a slender lead, biting nails down to the quik

     

     

    as we played out the usual four minutes added time except to_night it was three minutes. Astra played well in the first half and thanks to our terrific goalkeeper we shipped no goals. Obviously the crowd were having a go at the team and the tension and nerves became apparent. The worrying part for me was when players were not showing for the ball from teamates , confidence was completely shot.

     

     

    After the opening score Scepovic and the team finally started to play and should have put the game out of sight before Astra’s scrambelled score which some on here say was elbowed into the net. Three points and top of the group.

  24. Craigellachie10 on

    Skepovic will score lots of goals somewhere. He obviously gets into positions and we’ll have to wait and see whether tonight’s goal gives him the confidence to kick on.

    Everyone is going backwards apart from a very small elite, who are now racking up record score lines against once big names.

     

    To quote Bruce Hornsby: That’s the way it is.

     

     

    Or was that Run DMC? :)

  26. a light insanity on

    Who is to blame? Ok i blame the sfa for allowing television to run riot over fixtures ..Desmond Whyte was right.

  27. What is the Stars on

    Ipaddy. Ok fair enough, you can apologise to me at the end of the season. That could be mid February if we are not careful

  28. the glorious balance sheet on

    Big wavy

     

     

    I think we are going backwards so I must be an “eijit” as you put it.

     

     

    I think that because of results and performances so far this season, because of falling attendances and because the team is full of temporary loan players and players coming out of contract in June 2015 with no sign of forward planning for 2015 CL qualifiers.

     

     

    Still I’m just am idiot. What would I know?

  29. Taking my son to his first ever Celtic game on Sunday . Can’t wait, he is counting the seconds.

     

    When I was his age we were still one of the best in Europe , then we had thirty years of mostly heartache on European nights till Seville gave all of us too young to see the Lions our moment of glory.

     

    I celebrate every Euro win, even the poor ones like tonight.

     

    On Sunday I get to see Celtic with my bhoy and watch him have his heroes as we had ours.

  31. ....PFayr supports WeeOscar on

    People post a lot if stuff I am opposed to

     

     

    I don’t consider it necessary to personally abuse them …well most of them

     

     

    What do others think they gain from this ?

  32. I went to the game tonight hoping for a win ,we won i’m happy :))))

     

     

    Hopefully I never lose that explosion of joy that makes you feel like a kid again when The celtic score a goal:))).

     

     

    Some players not performing cant be blamed on the managerIMHO.

     

    Sleep well all .

     

    Ohhhh and I was in good CQN companyat the game plus met that fine looking fhella ACGR before K.O life is not to bad in leftclicktic land,
