  1. ‘GG, Group stages for the money, 3rd place there for a run in the Europa. That would be my perfect scenario, as Kojo might say AAHHH alwiz aim for perfection. Talking about said Kojo, he rarely misses a live updates blog, hope he’s still Laughing.

    Would like to see a raft of our young uns head off on loan…

     

     

    ———————————————————————————

     

     

    To which Scottish Championships sides?

  3. Roy Croppie- that’s Kevj got a new wallpaper now.

     

    Also great to hear that uber-Hun commentator Tom Miller enjoying the 6 goals today, a stiff upper lipped Churchillian performance from him, well done Tom for hiding your pain so well, wee McCann should take heed.

  4. A few obvious concerns but the was a real TEAM performance.

     

     

    I notice a few malcontents missing in action this afternoon and a few negative whingers who don’t even go to games vanishing from the blog as the ran out of steam when the 3rd or 4th goal or so went in.

     

     

    What a great time to be a celtic supporter onwards to 4 and more in a row.

     

     

    European Champs League music at CP soon too.

  5. Big Joe

     

     

    I’d give Falkirk Balde. They couldn’t hit a barn door last night against the zombies….

  6. How did Craig Gordon play today/organize those in front of him?

     

     

    How was the back four with Efe and RB?

     

     

    DID VVD and Jason work well?

     

     

    Did our midfield really work box to box, protecting the back and supporting the front?

     

     

    Questions, questions, questions.

    It beggars belief how new roads and better network makes leaving CP much worse than ever.

     

     

    At least it is all we have to moan about today though HH

  8. Rwe

     

     

    Craig looked class

     

     

    The centre halves looked class

     

     

    Efe fantastic

     

     

    Would still like to see more protection of backs

  9. Big Joe

     

     

    Hearing that Jason Denayer is valued @ 10 million.

    Thing with this money rich clubs now is that they are happy for young players to go on loan for 3-4 years before they call them back to their first team squads. Crazy but we’ll take what we can get these days.

    Great to see Fergus get to take the plaudits for where we are today.

     

    Champions playing like Champions. Some great displays today thought Izzy was outstanding and the young centre half Denayer looks a superb young player. Very composed with quick turn of pace but for me his best attribute is his timing in the tackle. Well seen he’s from the new generation of young Belgium players.

     

    Time for fans to cut Ronny a bit of slack and let’s see how his pass and move football develops.

    I watched the Falkirk game, but switched it when the huns got there second.

     

     

    I believe he should stay in Scotland…………….

    He’d be a revelation and he would probably decapitate elbows by accident….worth it for that alone

    Mincey. I think it would do them good to get game time at a higher level. H.H.

    But imagine the delight of playing against thon Deid club, and the 2 Edinborough giants and beating them.

     

    Better than just playing development games.

    Cant disagree with any of that……………

     

     

    However…………………… Jason Denayer will now have Celtic DNA..

     

     

    YouneverKnowwhatwillhappeninthefuture

  16. can we have some perspective on things.

     

     

    our celtic are unbeaten at celtic park in the league in how many games ? its a lot that i know.

     

     

    drubbings for quite a few in the last few seasons, including beating united 5-0 at seasons end.

     

     

    ronnie said he would be offensive at home,

     

    so added all up, today we saw last years players doing what they do, with added new players getting it.

     

     

    so, today was what we could expect when it clicks.

     

     

    now they need to find the defensive qualities for a game away from home in europe.

     

     

    sack the board anyways.

     

    downsizing from the top.

  17. thomthethim for Oscar OK on

    I believe that you can replace up to three players from the registered group of 25 for the Group stages.

  18. Joe Filippis Haircut on

    RWE. Craig Gordon didnt have a lot to do but what he had to do he did well.I thought personaly Efe looked good at right back VD and the new bhoy looked good the midfield played well and did work box to box well for me there no failures today a first class team performance. H.H.

  19. hartson –

     

     

    best player of all time – maradona

     

     

    best goals – 9 against rangers

     

     

    best stadium – celtic park.

     

     

    best player with – larsson & bergkamp

    Izzy was brill. Could turn on a tanner or spin on a shullen as they say!!!

     

     

    He has great ability, touches and composure Jude, but he is suspect defensively…..and consequently targeted by our opponents and height-wise at the back post……well…..Maribor will be looking to capitalise on that as much as any team, but they sound like doing so is part of their game as it is.

    Only watched it in the pub mate……………..

     

     

    However……………………

     

     

     

    Efe played well, really well……………………….IMO

     

     

    iloveEfeanywaythough

  22. RWE,

     

     

    Gordon was good and made two good saves. He also saved at the feet of a DU forward, showing he is not afraid to risk injury.

     

     

    The back 4 were also good, although maybe suspect on an over the top ball. That may change as they get used to one another.

     

     

    The midfield was also good with SF being the box to box midfielder. Maybe they could move the ball forward a bit faster but again, it is early days. What little I saw of Armstrong, I liked and he would bring something different.

     

     

    We need to see a few more games to get a sense of where the team is now.

    Personally I thought the young guy was pretty slow, looks a player, strong and can play football the right way, but looks slow.

    European Football is different from European game. God forgot to take my pills. Meant from Domestic game, but then ye knew that didn’t ye.

    does god take your pills? !! holy shit !!

    A few years ago the polis used to hold the traffic to allow buses to get straight on to motorway, anyway on the move now and you’re right rather we moan about traffic than the team

  26. MoaningMinnie2 will be on later to say well done to the team then get ripped into PL and the board. You can bet your life on it.

  27. antipodean red on

    mncelt,

     

     

    If you played in the 21’s, I would have played against you a few times in the Dunbartonshire Secondary Juvenile League with either St Stephens or Leven Valley, I played in goal for both.

     

     

    AR

  28. Thunder Road,

     

     

    Agree on Izzy. Going forward he was impressive today and you could see his confidence soaring as the game progressed. However, put a couple of big forwards in his area of the penalty box and he will be in trouble. He has lead in his boots. Hopefully, RD will set up to give him assistance, either from a left sided midfielder or Berget.
