  1. Aye MadMitch…’cause forgetting about history means….it won’t happen again….Brexit talk about starving the Irish in 2018 never happened…you are a clown…

  2. Not long home from the game.

     

    Great performance again.

     

    My mom, was Ralston, followed by Welsh.

     

    As for Taylor, I admirhis commitment, but he’s very poor. As for Starfelt. Still don’t see a player there.

  3. That was an impressive display by the team.

     

    We played and pressed well.

     

    Joe Hart- good idea ParkheadcumSalford tho I would add as vice captain.liked the way he took instructions and gathered the Ccelts round at tony Rylstone injury

     

     

    Tony Ralston i agree m.o.m for me.

     

    100% effort and application.

     

     

    Welsh is reading the game well played brilliantly

     

    Starfelt is improving,he will come good hopefully if we get someone in beside him.

     

     

    The team respond to Ange.all available for a pass

     

    Tom rogic fantastic cross.

     

    Kyogo what a finish.chance,anticipate,goal brilliant

     

    Calmac what an engine

     

    Eddie stay and sign a wee extension

     

    Not a fail anywhere.well done Celts making this tim content tonight but knowing we can get a wee bit better.

     

    Stay positive Celts

     

    Onwards to St Mirren with a smile.

  4. a new pet hate.

     

     

    if a celtic player is not awarded a gaol because it was a deflected shot, well why is that not given as an assist.

  5. Welsh was brilliant tonight and according to some Starfelt will improve with someone beside him , how does that work.

    ———————————————-

     

    Because It wasn’t meant as an assist, but if i were your bookie I’d pay out anyway ;-)

  7. rather than try and concentrate on what starfelt might have done wrong , 3 passes maybe,

     

     

    try looking at what he did right, 6 blocks, 3 devensivr headers, 3 recovering tackles.

    if you shoot and it hits off your team mate and deflects into the goal, they get the goal, you get the assist.

     

     

    if you hit the ball off the opponent, should still be an assist

     

     

    imho

  9. The Comfortable Collective on

    Is the fact that every time I heard Starfelt name in the first half I had my heart in my mouth and in the second half I didn’t actually hear his name in commentary a positive thing, in terms of he just got on with stuff in the second half?

  10. To be honest Stivs…I think all Celtic players should be awarded a personal gaol…they can then keep all their personal insecurities in them ;-))

    jail isnae good enough for them,

     

     

    -)))

  12. Starfelt’s only improving as the game goes on because mistakes are not being punished. He had better get to grips or he’ll turn out like Hendry, eventually exhausted by punished mistakes.

  13. my new pet love.

     

     

    ange out the dugout, in the extra time, telling them

     

     

    no, dont take it into the corners and count it down.

     

     

    no, dont take it all the way back into our half.

     

     

    take a cross, build it up again around their box, we want another goal,

     

     

    thats what i saw.

  14. last for tonight.

     

     

    Ange with a jumper on in the balmy temperatures of a scottish august.

     

     

    he aint going to last till october,

  15. Really watch-able football tonight.

     

    Easy on the eye. By both teams.

     

    The good guys won, partly due to a good keeper. Good to excellent performances from many.

     

    And a wee bit of luck!

    —————————————————-

     

    If you shoot and it’s on target, takes a deflection off an opponent, and score, it’s your goal.

     

    Forrest’s attempt at goal could have injured a ball boy tripping up over his laces going to fetch.

  17. Ange seems to be bringing us the luck every team we’ve played against up until now seems to get against us. Maybe…..just maybe….it’s not “luck” after all

  18. Why oh why on the back of a really good display in Europe, which we rarely see, does there have tae be a negative comment about big Gas Meter, he’s gone FFS.

    Great performance. Hard working, skillful, courageous.

     

    Ralston, Welsh, Taylor, Rogic are like new signings.

     

    Kyogo is the real deal.

     

    Turnbull back to his best and Harte, a real keeper.

     

    McCarthy to get fit and the re-born Christie to come back.

     

    This is a revolution.

     

    We are not through yet. That was a hard won match and AZ are Dutch standard.

     

    Cmon the Hoops

     

     

    ————–

     

     

    What that guy said !! HH

     

     

    Also, great man-management for Ange to insist that new signings are being brought in to support the incumbents, NOT to replace them; good message to Anthony and others to let them know they’re valuable and the guys in the box seat. He’s a very good manager!

  20. Double take…Jamesgang posting anaw…these glory hunters are coming out the woodwork tonight ;-)) Gotta disagree JG…the luck was theirs ;-))

  23. Not read back…

     

     

    Watched the last 50 (buffering) mins of the game in the Regent Bridge Bar in Aberdeen.

     

     

    For all our concerns about the defence I thought they played well. Yes there was a couple of moments when AZ broke through or we made a mistake… but the defence were excellent at covering there teammates. Mega encouraging!!!

     

     

    Starfelt gave them a decent chance that boy beside me highlighted. I defended the new bhoy and then over the next 5 or 10 minutes he produced clearances/blocks/headers.

     

     

    A real spirited team effort. Magic x

    ——

     

    It kinda was …. Some incredible scramble defence by them

     

    And it kinda wisnae …. They’re a good team and fairly carved us open a few times.

     

     

    But…..there’s thunder, pace and purpose again. Oh how we missed that. Existing players performing so much better, and some new gems.

     

     

    Much to be v pleased with. Esp young Ralston.

     

     

    Tooting Tim and I saw him make his debut away to StJ some years back. Better and stronger than KT at the equivalent age. Would be great to see him find his way in the Hoops.

     

     

    Aff out. Beauty sleep beckons

    Does anyone know the words of the new fans’ song about “Kyoto doing his thing” etc?

     

    ————————————————————————————————

     

    I’ve got your picture, I’ve got your picture,

     

    I’d like a million of ya over masel.

     

    I want a doctor to take your picture,

     

    So I can look at you from inside as well.

     

    You’ve got me turning inside and turning out,

     

    And turning in and turning ’round.

     

    Kyoto dae yer thing.
