    Sick is the right description. They were sick when the big wall made four

     

    fantastic saves and the rest of the bar applauded.

     

    I remember now why I don’t drink in sunny Greenock.

    Watching the CL highlights

     

     

    Quite a number of goals scored on the counter attack / quick break

  7. Dan Supporting Wee Oscar on

    Just back from the game. Enjoyed a fabulous occasion. The fans were magnificent from start to finish. The TITO looked amazing at the game. The atmosphere electric. Game wise, we were obviously up against a far superior side technically. However the turning point was the Brown sending off. It was at the other end of the ground so did not get a good view, but just watched the television pictures.

     

     

    Scott Brown, hang your head in shame. An utterly stupid sending off offence. Good free kick to give away, from a footballing sense, well worth a yellow card to stop a dangerous move. But he then has a sly kick at the Barcelona player whilst he is on the ground. Does not make any difference is there was little contact. Why would any player, let alone the captain of your club act in such a childish, selfish way.

     

     

    The fans were magnificent. The players gave their all against superior players and if Brown had not been sent off I think we had every chance of getting a draw, or even snatching a victory.

     

     

    If I was our manager I would hammer Brown. Somehow I don’t see Lenny doing that.

     

     

    Anyway, despite that an uplifting experience tonight, thank you to the Celtic fans.

    I think I offered Croftfoot roundabout not Glasgow Green :-) But you’ld be a no show in any case.

     

     

    And, if you ever live up to that commitment you made to honest posting, you might have re-produced the one exception that I foresaw, for which it is valid to criticise Sott Brown tonight, should you wish.

     

     

    But that’s enough preaching to the BNP- I want to talk to fellow tims tonight.

     

     

    You can go and practice hiding under a table and waiting for the “strong man” to rescue you

  10. SydneyTim on

    Last year we needed one goalscorer to improve the team as we only had one

     

    Now we need 2

     

    Some great performances tonite but we do need a goalscorer

     

    Yes we have the odd player who will score occasionally but we need goal scorers. X 2

     

    A real fear we could end up scoring nowt in this group

     

     

    But Peter will have his bonus

    a lot of hurting huns on tonight…what a surprise…don’t rise to them

     

     

    proud of my team….Broonie needs a slap but that’s it, move on and beat Ajax

     

     

    Am sure there are, however, we need to be clear that our skipper let us down tonight.

     

    I hope you are on board with that.

    Great victory against Celtic! It’s always tough to win away games in Champions League. Atmosphere at Celtic Park is the best in Europe.

  15. Fess19 on

    Thought Broonie had a great game until the sending off. Reminded me of NFL in the amount of ground he covered, great engine.

     

    Ordering off, ref was only yards from incident and took out yellow, after questions from Barca players (linesman in ear?) changed to red. Captain let himself and team mates down but still want him in my team.

     

     

    CQN’ers Live Updates!

     

     

    Don’t know how you do it, my computer on, signed in but too busy watching my team to take eyes off and switch to keyboard. Keep up the good work as it’s not always possible to get live Celtic games here in Indonesia.

     

     

    Long way to go, bring on Ajax and Milan

    3 for 2 Fanad. but in a game like that you must bring on fresh legs. He just called it that Matthews was better option then Lustig at the back for last 20 minutes.

  18. Tom McLaughlin on

    Can’t believe people are crucifying Neymar for reacting to Broonie’s kick.

     

     

    There isn’t a footballer alive, not even a Celtic player, who wouldn’t have reacted to being kicked on the back by an opponent while lying on the ground after being fouled by the same player. Or are we to believe that a Celtic player would have looked up at the kicker and said, “I say old boy. That was rather unsporting, wot?”

     

     

    Time for a bit of perspective. Brown was stupid and deserved to walk.

    ————-

     

    We hardly created a chance, even against Milan with all our failed crosses (20 plus) I don’t remember us missing many sitters.

     

     

    Don’t see how a Van Persie up top is going to make much difference to us if we can’t create any chances.

  20. leftclicktic oscar in our thoughts on

    Just in

     

    AC Milan & Barca and being disappointed to get nothing out of both games but for me deal with Ajax and we should still be in touch.

     

    I would have settled for that when draw was made.

     

     

    As a team we are mixing it with the best and IMHO improving as a team of course individual errors can cost us but I like they way we are going as a unit.

     

    Again our wonderful fans have done us proud and will along with the players have enhanced our position at the top table of club football.

     

     

    Nobody and I mean nobody will play us and leave thinking that was easy.

     

     

    we are on the right road.

     

    Good night all

     

    Tomorrow I will still have that wee twinge of what if but i am already looking forward to Ajax with plenty confidence.

    Why the need for so many to lay into Skoosh.

     

    He obviously must have been doing absolutely nothing for an hour for one poster to give him 2/10.

     

    Nice to have a scapegoat though.

     

    And for those slating Izzy. He was not afforded the cover from Kris as Michael Lustig got from Sammi. This is not a criticism of Krissy.

  26. gordybhoy64 on

    Sydney Tim,

     

    wondered how long it would take for PL to have someone have a dig at him,not surprised it was you

  27. fan-a-tic on

    Lets not blame ref.

     

    We played exceptionally hard against a technically better team.

     

    Brown undid a good personal performance with an act of stupidity.

     

    At this level our system lets us compete but is not creative.

     

    When a Celtic player has the ball everyone is to concerned with holding a defensive posture leaving no outlet for a pass.

     

    Compare our opponents who always had at least 2 outlets.

     

    This is also often the case in the SPL but our superior players create room for themselves.

     

    FF. he’s back!Brilliant.

     

    Lustig.did well against a world class player

     

    Effe.brilliant

     

    Virgil.Brilliant.Whoever scouted him deserves praise

     

    Izzy.Did well when he was often out manned.Left side still our Achilles

     

    Commons.Not involved

     

    Mulgrew.Not good enough at this level

     

    Brown.brilliant then brutal

     

    Mathews .Looked unfit not at his best.Did well when moved back though

     

    Sammi.Europe suits him

     

    Stokes.Lost

     

    JF did well in short time his pace is vital in Europe

     

    Kayal.A foul was his total contribution

     

    Pukki did more in to bring players into the game in a short time than Stokes did all night.If we go with one up front the last two games in CL j

     

    Have confirmed Stokes is not the answer.

     

    Coaching.Well organized but still to reactive at this level.Will have to start giving players more creative freedom and improve our non existent off the ball movement

  30. DeniaBhoy in awe of wee Oscar's Courage on

    Bet Barca are really worried with all these CQNers saying they are no longer their 2nd favourite team . . . Come on guys, get a grip. The better team won, just. But don’t blame playacting or cheating for that. Their passing accuracy of around 90% to our 40% (and they passed several hundred more passes than us) tells the story. Possession is king. Make the ball do the work. Make the opponents chase. Barcelona were without the best player in the world tonight, of course they are not going to be as fluid and attractive as usual.

     

    We played ok, lots of heart and lots of aggression. Nothing more than that. We were careless in possession and we were toothless from mid to front. Sammi played his heart out but there was no other tactic other than give it to him and let him run until dispossessed. Reminded me of the McGeady days. Everything went to him and Barcelona simply crowded him out and took the ball back.

     

    Winning tackles followed by quickly giving it away is too often our signature in CL games.

     

     

    We can play much better than that, we should have played much better than that but that doesn’t mean we would have drawn or won. Barcelona might not be the team of 2-3 years ago but your dreaming if you think they are still not one of the top teams in Europe.

  31. Turkeybhoy on

    Lenny said earlier,time will tell if we are as good as last year.Lenny,we aint.We played Barca tonight without a replacement for Wanyama.A beast for us.We sign a replacement for Hooper who does not get a start.You played Stokes who you thought was not good enough last season,for the simple reason,we did not buy a STRIKER.It will come back to haunt us.

  32. Margaret McGill on

    Pictures of Samaras all over American sports channels tonight now spilling over into news Channels. Seems the gorgeous Greek is getting mucho attention tonight.

     

    One comment:

     

    “How can Celtic lose when Jesus is on their side”

  33. Saint Stivs on

    Ozil to arsenal.

     

    The cl highlights and their EPL performance, they might just have found their young lubo

     

     

    Turning into a German like efficient on the break team.

  34. fanadpatriot on

    Corkcelt

     

    Of course you are correct,but I thought Lustiq played Naymer well.IMO I would had sat in and taken a point .HH

  35. Auldheid on

    We have a good but not great team at CL level and have a wonderful club.

     

     

    Inches in both CL games were the distance between points and no points.

     

     

    First half I thought we lost possesion when we could have kept it. Unforced errors although Barca forced even more.

     

     

    That got sorted 2nd half and Broonies we fly kick was not fly enough to escape the ref or linesman’s eye and that made defeat likely, but with 10 men we still matched a very good team.

     

     

    Next 2 games vital and hope we find ourselves getting a better rub of the green when we meet Milan

    But they’re on track!! <:0) Who the france is their accountant? Merlin the wizzard??

  37. SydneyTim on

    The huddle. Natural goal scorers make those runs to get into positions

     

    Non natural goal scores don’t

     

    Think crosses and think Hartson and sutton Players who make runs and attack balls

     

    They cost money

     

    We got pukki

    How many games will Brown miss??

     

     

    The significant thing is that he missed the most important segment of the game tonight

     

    (through his own stupidity, no less). Brought it on his self and our team.

  41. ....PFayr supports WeeOscar on

    Thought we might have been in for a tanking tonight …do 1-0 not a disaster

     

     

    Really pleased with the effort and application

     

     

    However we have little or no goal threat……I will not be overly surprised if we go thro this group without scoring …..not impressed with any of our strikers

  42. gordybhoy64 on

    Fess19,

     

    it looked to me that the ref had a yellow out for the initial foul,

     

    then Broonie had a fly kick and the ref brought out a red
