  1. TET…the counter-argument to that is that Lenny was so poor last season…that anyone would be an improvement ;-))

  2. Who thought we could possibly be at this point so quickly? This manager and every single player deserve every single ounce of support we can give. So let’s hear no negativity of any kind. We look as good already as we have looked in years and the guy has just started. Where could he take us? I don’t know but I am more optimistic than I have been for a very long time.

    I don’t get much right but to be fair, I was delighted at the Hart signing. Not just as a goalkeeper but as a personality around the dressing-room. Hearing the way he speaks in his interviews you can just tell that he’d be a great experienced voice to have around.

  4. I said the other day that if we had just bought Anto Ralston and threw him into the team to a man we would all be raving about how good he was and how good our scouts were to find him, he has astounded me for sure.

     

    But we are still a ways short at the back.

    Take a bow Tony son…

     

    —————————

     

    Amazing and needs back up.

  6. Excellent, the improvement individually and collectively continues

     

     

    Remarkable what Ange has done in such a short time

  7. Ange says we’ll go to the Netherlands and “impose our game”. Doesn’t want to think about “protecting” anything.

     

     

    Starting to really like this guy….

  8. Woah. For the first time in AGES we got the breaks and a competent referee.

     

     

    2-0 is a great result, could have lost a few goals. 3-2 or 3-3 not unreasonable. And yet I’m disappointed we didn’t get that 3rd to make it 3-0.

     

     

    Tough return leg for sure.

     

     

    Away to read back…

  9. We will score out there, We look dangerous every time we go forward. Ange is not for compromising his system. On you go big man.

  10. Great night for Celtic….and you would need to be masochistic to vote for SNPcult with today’s figures.

     

     

    Celtic keeps the dream alive – the UK keeps us from a economic ARMAGEDON!! Hail Hail!

  11. L67/TLT/G78

     

    Aye, hindsight is the foresight of the gobshite >)

     

    Seriously tho, Joe is gonna be an inspired signing IMO, he needed a place to feel wanted and I’m, sure he has found it, for a keeper who is supposedly crap with the ball at his feet I honestly thot he did Ok, as a shot stopper, there are no that many better and the confidence he has instilled in the defence is working wonders.

  12. There’s every chance we’ll get beaten twice next week, but there seems to be enough about Ange’s gang that we’ll not crumble as we would have done in the past.

  13. Every one of the back four tonight made mistakes,every one.Every one of them played with courage and determination,and no little skill.A result no one would have predicted.Fantastic effort.

     

    Yet still some just can’t help picking on their personal whipping boys.

  14. Another good performance and great result, so much to say about that game, really good test.

     

     

    We rode our luck, got goals at the right time, great saves, last ditch defending but would you have it any other way!?

     

     

    Just loving everything about the work ethic, attitude, bravery, skill, no shortage of skill, sublime first goal…

     

     

    It’s like a new signing they say, more like it’s a new Club, or more accurately our old Club back…

     

     

    Hail Hail

  15. Ange being asked about replacing Ralston.

     

     

    “He was enormous defensively and with the ball. He has been all along.

     

     

    “We need to support him and this group of players. We can’t expect him to play at this intensity every game.

     

     

    “It’s not about bringing in people to replace others, it’s about bringing in players who will complement what we’ve got and create a strong squad.”

  16. some great crosses into the box tonight CRYING out for a big #9 Sutton style to get on the end of – If Edward leaves and will bring in the guy Henry or similar type, we will have many threats in and around the box!

  17. Weebobbycollins on

    JHB…Why do you constantly lower the tone? Sitting at home pretending to be at the game.

  18. Ralston is a greeeeeat example to all at Paradise work hard and listen to your coaches, ok its took him a couple of years or has it……is it just that now he has met a coach in Ange that is getting through to him. Either way I’m loving his transformation he is everywhere on the park.

     

     

    Also wee Kyogo how exciting is this ghuy? Incredible.

     

     

    Bring on the saints of mirren

  19. JHB @ 10:12 PM,

     

     

    Unionism on a night like this…

     

     

    You’re not much of a football man are you!?

     

     

    Each to their own I guess…

     

     

    Hail Hail

  20. As for Hart being captain, I don’t think there’s any need. Some players don’t need an armband to be a voice around the dressing room or on the pitch. Chelsea had three or four potential captains under Mourinho.

     

     

    McGregor has really stepped up since being made captain – he’s playing well, helping the new signings….why change something that isn’t broken?

  21. That’s me done for the day, it’s been a killer heat wise again and it’s gonna be the same the morra so I will bid you all a good night and nay fighting now.

     

    Sleep well Timland

  22. While I was very nervous second half …Great result….still think the tie finely balanced…..Welsh just MOM for me…..ralston VG and hard as nails which we needed….Taylor struggled …starfelt still can’t see it …..Joe Hart will do me……and I hope Eddie stays feck the money.!!!

    TB – Well said. Although mistakes were made there were plenty of positives from the back 4.

  24. NEUSTADT-BRAW @ 10:08 PM,

     

     

    Good to see you posting, how’s things?

     

     

    It’s a braw, Grand team we have.

     

     

    Hail Hail

  25. Pleeeeeaaase don’t feed the troll

     

     

    Bouncing about a few sites…RIP Sean Lock…am so glad his everlasting memory and gif will be “That’s a challenging wank”…they should put it on his headstone lol;-))

     

     

    Now to strengthen the team and squad before the window ominously squeaks shut

     

     

    H.H.

  26. Ralston MOTM, took a couple of smart fouls late on to run the clock down, Hart went to AP when he was down,got messages for the rest of the team,professional leadership there.Welsh ,Rogic McGregor VG,not a night for negatives, tie is far from won,they are a very good team.
