  1. The Onlooker on

    Reasonably happy with outcome , close but only got a cigarello.

     

     

    At the game I’m usually tense throughout expecting us to lose the ball everytime we play out from the back.

     

     

    Back home watching game on TV , I can see the passages of great play, but also where we let ourselves down.

     

     

    Playing out from the back in a rush (before our defenders are ready) seems crazy. Defenders have no respite from defending the previous attack , and are immediately put under pressure.

     

     

    I have complained about our throw-ins since the Blog started , and we have never improved. So many of our shies are lost that we would be as well throwing the ball to the opposition, then closing THEM down to win it back.

     

     

    It is important that we get a grip of this.

     

    It has consequences.

     

     

    Greg Taylor committed the foul for the penalty, and is getting the blame.

     

    However , about 20 seconds before the penalty, Alistair Johnston was involved with a sequence of sloppy play from a throwin that lost us possession, that led to the penalty.

     

     

    22mins.. AJ takes throw-in to Matt O’Riley, ball bounces high,

     

    Matt can only play it back to AJ.

     

    Instead of clearing it, AJ controls it because he thinks he has time,…he doesn’t and is immediately closed down.

     

    He tries to clear, but ball come off Athletti player, It comes back to him, he tries a flick the ball to Daisen , bit the ball is lost ,

     

    9 quick passes around the edge of our box, and we concede the penalty.

     

     

     

    All avoidable, if we take a few seconds to move players into position to allow us to take a clearing kick from the throw-in.

     

     

    Liverpool engage the services of a throw-in coach, from Denmark.

     

    He works with a number of clubs, ( but only one in each league)

     

     

    He works on technique, but more importantly, he works on situational positioning for taking and defending this important set piece.

     

     

    Celtic see the throw-in as nothing other than a means of getting the ball back in play.

     

     

    I am bewildered that we have never addressed this deficiency.

     

    Small margins.

     

     

    Still happy.

    Good comments. Would love to see more football chat on here, but sadly that seems to be a thing of the past….

    Hood morning all from a relativly happy Garngad.

     

     

    Saint Stivs – good points, I always read and could listen to you all day.

     

     

    D :)

    Thats a Hood morning said from Da Hood.

     

     

    Now Good morning all.

     

     

    Loved all the flags all around the stadium last night.

     

     

    Oops are you allowed to even say flags🫡

    Took A TOP..team and welcomed them to sellic park……

     

     

     

     

    progress is good for our young team .

     

     

     

     

    Big j yer bet was close….

     

     

     

     

    Some lovely football played tonight …by one team…

     

    ……………..

     

     

     

     

    Cheers mate.

     

    Yes when KYOGO Scored so early, I am thinking ” Cmon the wee man, you have another 86 minutes to score a 2nd Goal” ?

     

    However, I did back the Correct Score of 2 – 2 at odds of 14/1, aside with a couple of other Scores of 3 – 1 and 3-2 to Celtic.

     

    I also had KYOGO to Score FIRST, and Celtic to win 3 – 2 at odds of 135/1….I thought wee JAMESY was gonna grab the winner near the end, but he was off balance and scooped the ball over the the bar ?

     

    I also had the earlier Correct score of FENEYOORD to beat Lazio by 3 – 1 at odds of 12/1, and BAYERN to win 3 – 1 on Tuesday night at odds of 10/1 ( I Think ? )

     

    LOL

     

     

    I HATED Athletiico back in 1974….I STILL hate them NOW !

     

     

    I watched GREIZMANN very closely last night….He ONLY gave the Ball away ONCE in the 95 minutes played. To be fair… he was outstanding for that Horrible Mob…..Sadly !

     

     

    I hope YOU and Wee INDIE are good and healthy.

     

    HH Mate.

    Simiones mantra on shaking hands after the game

     

     

    Simeone explained that he isn’t keen on shaking hands with opposition managers after the game because he feels it brings about a “falseness”.

     

     

    He said: “I don’t like the greeting after the match because they are the emotions of two sides in different emotional minds. I know in the UK it is a custom but I don’t share it and I don’t like the falseness it may include.

     

     

    FUD!

  13. Scaniel on

    Waking up in Türkiye, excited to read back on the myriad of enthralling posts about the game, the atmosphere, the opposition, the flag protest, the refereeing, the individual performances, the lullabies and battlecries……and then I see CONEYBHOY binned! CONEYBHOY!!! C’mon. What’s the world coming to. TLT as well, but you know he will just bounce back – you’re good at that, A. And then somebody thinks that no one is interested in SAINT STIVS’s input and historical insight which have illuminated these pages since god knows when! Jeez!

     

    If the MOD is having a word with Paul, then surely it will include allowing intelligent, insightful and respectful posts to flourish as the vast majority of posters on here have their own internal moderation device – known as scrolling – which we put to good use on a daily basis. To separate politics, history, emotions and passion from any Celtic supporter is to turn them into zombies….and you know where that ends.

     

    Love reading about Celtic’s footballing prowess on here, but equally enjoy the passion, intelligence and power of the greatest football fans on earth. Don’t genetically modify us.

    I really like the cut of Philipps’ jib and 3-5-2 in some games might work a treat

     

     

    —

     

     

    I’d be very surprised if we don’t start this formation away to Atletico Madrid. If we play a back 4 with Taylor at LB out there then we’ll be asking for a whole lot of trouble.

    I love how Luis knows Kyogo has scored before it has gone in.

     

     

    One of the best goals evah.

  23. Big Jimmy on

    SIMEONE is a Classless CHUMP.

     

    A CHEAT of the highest order, he always has been…he always will be.

     

     

    I have never liked David Beckham, but at the World Cup in France ( 1998 ), SIMEONE DIVED and FAKED Injury to get Beckham SENT AFF in Argentina V Engurlund game.

     

    Beckham BARELY touched him.

    Cmon big Jimmy’s bet.

     

     

     

     

    Kyogo to score two goals

     

    ……………..

     

     

    See that wee Kyogo fella….hes a pure diddy…so he is.

     

    He should be sold asap.

     

    LOL.

     

     

    In all honesty, DESPITE our great play especially in the 1st half, we hardly set up any more chances for Kyogo to score that 2nd Goal. Some of our ” Crossing” from the wings were rather poor.

     

     

    HH Mate.

    Some girnin´ posters on here after the match last night, complaining that they are not allowed to express their political opinions on here. Where have they been the last 20 years? Everything under the sun has been discussed on CQN. Show me any decemt debate after a Scotsman or Glasgow Herald piece during those years. CQN has debated things that no other forums in Scotland would allow. However when you begin to see people using their posts to make political points then that is a time to take stock and not allow this site to be taken over by politics. Of course life and death is more important than football and those posters should find blogs which deal with those issues if they feel so strongly about them

  26. Clinko on

    So proud of the Celtic support last night. Hopefully it will give a little ray of hope to a people under bombardment that the whole world hasn’t forgotten them. More than a club

    THE ONLOOKER on 26TH OCTOBER 2023 2:01 AM

     

     

    Good post, can’t disagree with most of it, especially the throw-ins. BR changed the way we took them the first time he was here, one of the midfield players made themselves available quite a bit away from the taker, it worked a treat. Perhaps they’ll look at them now that they’ve straightened out the passing and movement off the ball :)) which now seems well down the road!

     

     

    But to highlight the throw-in and other deficiencies and not mention the quality of the 2 goals and the play leading up to them makes the post quite lopsided. However, a good post, Hail! Hail! por cierto

    I held up a Palestine flag last night through YNWA and the CL theme tune. There were many other similar displays around me in the JS lower and all over the stadium. Even in the South Stand. So it wasn’t just the Green Brigade.

     

     

    UEFA are utter hypocrites after encouraging football supporters all over Europe to fly the flag of Ukraine in stadiums a couple of years ago.

  32. EKBhoy on

    Great match last night , Brendan spot on to make the switch to a back 3 which kept us in the game …. it goes without saying … but I’ll say it anyway …. under Ange I believe we would have lost that game by a couple of goals.

     

     

    We just need to keep learning at this level , looking forward to the remaining matches.

     

     

    Young Bernardo fitted in well last night and should be in the starting 11 at the weekend.

    Funny how when we score it’s always a great goal and not their defenders mistake.

     

     

    When others score v us it’s always Greg Taylor’s fault. Or even James Forrest’s

  34. EKBhoy on

    Madrid pressured the ref multiple times 3 of them surrounding the ref , complaining about the latest injustice. Pretty clear during the match that the refs patience was wearing thin ; in the return leg hopefully the ref will have a similar backbone.

    Bernardo with more game time will come good ,also Yang and Oh with more game time ,starting on Saturday v Hibs ,Shame Reo hamstring causing him discomfort last night ,seems he will be out for a while ,

    well said tom.

     

     

     

    hearts game we skooshed it and the negatories didnt turn up, they will be at it on here from the livr updstes first page,

     

     

     

    72 million in the bank blah blah blah

     

    ………………………………..

     

    So let’s see if I’ve got this right. There seems to have been a lack of negative posters following our brilliant performance at Tynecastle on Sunday. All good and yet one hour before a ball is kicked last night instead of talking about the team and the actual match, the best you can come up with is that negative posters will be posting negative comments from the first live updates page.

     

     

    Jeezo, you don’t like your fellow Celtic fans very much. You’re speciality seems to be sniping at any Celtic fan who dares to criticise anything about the Club.

    Morning all.

     

     

    Proud of the team and the support last night.

     

     

    Well done Brendan.

    Brilliant night at Celtic Park. I wasn’t expecting to get anything from the game but was hoping that we would give a good account of ourself and that we would see a further improvement from our last two performances in the competition. What a performance from Celtic, especially in the first half. We almost blew them away. I thought we used the full width of the pitch very well and moved their players all over the place. Our movement and passing was brilliant and our diagonal passes into the box were absolutely superb. I just wish the excellent Matt O’Riley’s shot had beaten the goalie to make it 3-1. Thems the breaks.

     

     

    I thought we tired around 60 minutes and we didn’t really have the desired quality on the bench to make the necessary changes to freshen up the team the way that Athletico did with their half time changes. We should be looking to address this in the next couple of windows. So many positives to take from the game though. We played with composure and confidence and attacked and defended well. We are scoring good goals from moves which cut teams open. We seem to have a big game player in Palma who has a goal threat. Our young players are showing maturity. Liam Scales was excellent yet again. Almost like having signed a new player. The fans were rocking the stadium again like old times. However, the main thing for me is that we are now playing like a Champions League team. Many fans used to say we are a Europa League team. I have always believed we should be a top level club. We are now proving that the Champions League is where we belong. Well done to our excellent manager Brendan Rodgers and the team.

     

     

    Roll on the good times.

  40. big wavy on

    Brilliant performance. Fair result. Lack of quality on the bench to help their comrades out. Transfer window? Telt ye.

     

     

    Crowd – god bless every one of them. Board – Effers to the core. Got it wrong again.

     

     

    P67 seems to have got the ole censorship memo sent & apppointed some uppity jobsworth to police it.

     

     

    End of days for CQN it seems.

     

     

    Sad.

    There was one excellent snippet last night.

     

    Griessmann goes down at a foul holding his head. Referee has to know he is faking a head knock.

     

    Oh you’ve hurt your head son. You better get off the pitch and have that checked. Griessmann makes a remarkable recovery but it is too late as the ref has made a decision.

     

    I hope every ref has seen this and the light bulbs come on
