There’s no doubt Barca players make a great team but it’s depressing to see how well-schooled they are in claiming fouls, feigning injuries against them and in committing cynical fouls. Professionalism some call it.

I just feel like they have been clever, they have done their homework.
And have identified our 11 players as a possible weakness.

Man City have an equaliser in injury time so it’s 1-1 at half time
notthebus on
McGregor, Rogic and Sinclair passengers in the first half.
And we need an out on the right..Paddy or James please
bognorbhoy on
The ref isnae fussy letting quite a lot go , mind he might change second half..
DubaiBhoy (nee LondonBhoy) on
Paddy on for Rogic and Forrest for Calum
Let’s go for it!

Putting up a decent showing here. Moving the ball well at times.
Dare I say we need to be a bit naughty? Break their rythym at times with a trip here or there? Barça ain’t shy in slowing us down that way.

Paddy or James to take people on. We need more of the Bhoys to believe in their individual abilities.

I just read your “in their faces” :-)
For what it’s worth, I think Broony has been magic, Craig Gordon just makes saves that’s what he does and should never have been out the team……….
Carrigan on
The Bhoys are playing well.wondering what Barca will be like when Messi call’s it a day.
We need a couple of buzzbombs in our team alongside Broony who in my biased opinion is the best player on the pitch.
Brendan to go hands in with 15m left 2.1 to the CFC.

The most depressing thing about it PATMCGRATHTAKESAPENALTY is that they everyone knows that they don’t need to do it. They are good enough to just play off of their talent.
World football is so in the shitter that this is now the acceptable face of winning.
You have talent the likes of which we could only dream of playing for Celtic embarrassing themselves with impunity.
We’ve competed well, their goal was a thing of simple beauty, they make passes few other teams do, I think we’re still well in it but I fell we need someone to go at them.
It’s not coming off for Rogic, so I’m guessing we’ll see one of the wingmen sooner rather than later..
Well played Celts…

We’re probably trying to play too much football.
I would have 8 in our half and crowd out the space for their front 3.
Then a long ball might get SS and MD in a 2 v 2 situation.
Think the ref has been ok. Our guys have fallen over as well.

Boys have been brilliant. Skoosh one of the nest players in Europe this season, Forget this Scotland pish
If we can be a wee bit more composed in the final third there is a goal in this game for us.

Paddy for McGregor would be my priority. Celtic doing well imo.

Spot on. Rogic and Sinclair I would have expected more of.
McGregor, not surprised.
Disappointing goal. Ball watching while a runner drifts past the defence to score, just like the last game.
dessybhoy on
I didn’t expect anything else of Barcelona but to play act every chance they get, poor goal plenty back but nobody preventing the pass, great save CG kept it 1.0 we need to replace Rogic and McGregor but with Sinclair looking like he took a dull yin that will scupper that idea, not created a clear chance but they look very cocky to the point of overconfidence at the back, may get a chance or two next half. Cmon the Hoops

am I right in thinking that we need Man City to win today to have any realistic chance of EL football?

Gerry, would love to chat about your football playing days.
Sure I read you chatting to someone on here about under 21’s when you played and league you played in.

The cynical small fouls in the middle third are an established tactic of big European teams.
We have never really adapted to this ploy.
Always think of Liverpool knocking us out on goal difference when McMannaman was allowed to run from his own defensive zone to score.

wee jamesie for scott sinclair
Derek Rae is an awfully nice man.
COOYBIG we can get something here
James for SS – another kick in the teeth for Paddy. Hope Sincy ok for Sun
FK. Izzy takes
SM flicks. Cleared for throw
SA passes to Messi but gets back to recover
James is on left direct replacement for SS
Get him off – not good enough . Sorry
CM dithers after poor FK from Barca. He dwelled too long
Is it arrogance that every time they lose the ball they expect a foul so just flop?
McGregor soft shot saved.
FFS
callum should have buried that
Why is Brendan so blind to Paddy ? Even Ronny player him him eventually
Great performance,but what is Mc gregor doing on the park.Just made an arse of a great chance to shoot.No conviction.I am angry at BR here.
…. I will admit that, last season, I thought that we had seen the best of Izzy … but he has done a good job since coming back into the team for KT.
