  1. Hate to pick on any Celtic Player, Taylor plays his heart out for us but he is a weak link at this level.

  2. glendalystonsils on

    We are now talking about small margins and fixable tweaks in order to progress in Europe . Unfortunately some of the fixable elements include quality recruitment and that goes beyond the talents of the team who worked their socks off tonight or the excellent coaching /tactical abilities of the manager .

     

    We are getting the most out of what we have at the moment but we need to continue to upgrade the squad , with a bit more top end and a bit less bottom end . That will take another couple of transfer windows .

  3. Atletico did not bring out that strip specifically to commemorate 1974. Every club in UEFA competition has to register 3 strips at the start of the season and must use only those strips in European competition for the season.

     

     

    Yes, they probably decided to use that one tonight but according to Madrid media it was for superstitious reasons, having beaten Celtic before in that strip.

     

     

    It was the Scottish media who pumped it up to being a celebration of that night in 1974. Nobody else.

     

     

    We fall for their dirty tricks every time as they look for a headline. Every. Feckin. Time.

  4. in hindsight we should have put on a 3rd centre back against Lazio and took the point other than chasing a winner and losing all 3.

    Really enjoyed watching us tonight. Very credible in all 3 matches in the group. Keep building Celtic!

  6. RC

     

     

    Which must mean we are learning from our mistakes

     

     

    Chill the pill and dont shoit on what was a fine performance this evening

  7. Mod 10.39.

     

    Agreed..

     

    Thought Griezmann was outstanding..what a player…

     

    Brendan just needs that wee bit of luck..

     

    3 at the back..worked when it was needed..

  8. Thanks for the updates.

     

    Sounds, overall, like a heads held high night for our coaches, players and fans.

    Strange ? That’s why I am plumber and not a football Manager 😩

     

     

    How you off for a tap 😂😂😜

     

     

    ==========

     

    Anyhoo… Good performance , could have got 3 points , didn’t have many clear chances second half to win it so a draw it was .

     

    That’s how atletico play the game , it’s how he puts them out to play , they are the Huns with better technical ability ,like 74 they can play the game but they would rather play games .

     

    Onward and upward , happy clappers unite …

     

    Mon the Hoops

  10. @Peter 1045..Exactly my feelings ..loved the wee triangle passes and one touch flicks…

     

    We are a team growing together…And a team that will live in the minds of our young generation..

     

    Bren bhoy is back…..

  11. Thoroughly impressed with our performance tonight. Well deserved point made….. the group will now be looking behind them from here on in.

  12. Athletico were a fantastic, skillfull, energetic, and intelligent team, we matched them for lots of the game putting on our own wee shows, tiring towards the end, and we ran them into the ground. Were definitely moving in the correct direction. The players we bought this year will be more experienced for next season, etc etc. Couple of additions needed in the next couple of windows. but not too much needing tweeked imo.

  13. Good evening all.

     

     

    I wanted to win as in every game but if someone suggested a draw b4 hand I would have taken it.

     

     

    GT constantly gave the ball away.

     

     

    The rest put in a shift and can be proud.

     

     

    I still think we need a LB, GK and Striker to keep everyone on their toes.

     

     

    D :)

  14. Great game tonight but when we should be talking about a fantastic performance at least 50% of the coverage will be about the GB’s open defiance to the Board.

     

     

    Time to shut the GB down . I would refund their season tickets and tell the to gtf…..

  15. we are getting great plaudits from the panel on TNT match nights , saying we have played some of the best football of any of the teams in the champions league this and last season

  16. this place is not about flags

     

     

    It’s about Celtic

     

     

    Guaranteed if I look at your public facing social media accounts, those flags and those opinions are not there

     

     

    Don’t bring it here

     

     

    It’s not welcome

     

     

    And has nothing to do with Celtic Football Club

  17. Watched the game in Spain, so without the bias of commentary. Thought we were excellent in spells and overall very good. We tired at about 60 mins and Brendan wasn’t able to freshen the team adequately. Though he had more on the bench that he used, Bernardo for Reo was a huge risk and I though it backfired. He showed little in creativity. I also thought Maeda was poor. Too many bad decisions and lost the ball on multiple occasions.

     

     

    Thought their penalty was a weak decision, but Taylor was exposed yet again at this level several times. Callum was also ineffective. Despite having a few players off their game, we had a great chance to win the game. We are close to having a CL team and streets ahead of anything else in Scotland. We’ll get there.

     

     

    Their manager is a first class idiot.

  18. BT Highlights programme analysts very complimentary towards us. Some of the best football in the competition to date has come from Celtic according to one of them. I think we can certainly give Lazio a game and look to finish strong against Feyenoord.

  19. Loved that tonight, 2 goals as good as any Celtic legend

     

     

    Tactics and subs by Rodgers were perfect. Massive press until you score and then rest

     

     

    3-5-2 change got us a point

     

     

    I would have subbed Maeda earlier for Oh but i love the Ayrshire Superstar and he brought control

     

     

    The defending when they were on top was phenomenal. Across all 11 on the park

     

     

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

     

     

    Happy Tim having a wee pint before 7.15 flight home tomorrow 😎

  20. RC on 25TH OCTOBER 2023 10:40 PM

     

    disappointed at the result , great performance but once again a cross to the back post and we lose a goal , poor defending

     

     

     

     

    A bit harsh. Both headers from Morata and Pedro were world class finishes.

  21. The Celtic Board should do more about the GB

     

     

    Reduce the numbers in that area to make them more visible and manageable .

     

     

    Employ proper stewards that will intervene and remove flags , displays anything inappropriate.

     

     

    Restrict access to that section it has become a magnet for the Ned’s .

     

     

    As you can tell I have no love for GB .

  22. dearie me.

     

     

    i was going to come on for a celtic performance comments.

     

     

    but that MOD fella

     

    is at it alreadry.

     

     

    give your self a break fella,

     

     

    goodnight.

    what can we expect from the bbc???

     

     

    they are no friends of ours

     

    —————

     

    Exactly!

     

    Was hoping they’d at least give us some credit.

     

    Fall over themselves to praise the Huns when they get a decent result. Even when it’s against pish opposition.

     

     

    Feck them!

     

    We are on the right track with Brendan.

     

    Just hope he gets finds in January to spend how he sees fit.

     

     

    Will be too late for this CL campaign, but can set us up for next season’s expanded competition.

    Superb night no surprising in Parkhead where the Hoops turned the clock back against the odds, and some naughty old La Liga foe.

     

     

    Tynecastle style BR played his best side, the best Celtic way and again scored before the opposition, any opposition had settled. Kyogo to O’Riley twice and back again saw a dink developed in Lennoxtown from the Japanese talisman’s unfavoured left foot, which meant much more early door ecstasy.

     

     

    Celtic were playing silky Brendanball and the yellow card count started with the Madrid side, who took twenty minutes before a debatable penalty got them a Greg Taylor foothold. No slacking saw Maeda running like he did round Gorgie and his cut back for anybody, was tailor made for a composed Luis Palma, who had already picked the same spot as had Kyogo, not long before.

     

     

    Simeone responded with complementary subs and tactical switches that brought the game level again but couldn’t keep the cards in the referee’s pockets, still no idea why De Paul wasn’t dragged off, before he eventually

     

    left.

     

     

    Reo Hatate’s early recurring hamstring at least gave game time to Bernardo and the Portuguese wasted no time in grabbing the jersey he’ll wear again at Easter Rd come the weekend. O’Riley was awesome in midfield, and Liam Scales has new contract stamped all over himself.

     

     

    With most of our bhoys already out on their feet and the Spanish club deservedly down to ten men, a draw just like Lazio was expected, except this time we got what we deserved at the very least.

  28. CONEYBHOY
