    Just read my note back, and the spelling and grammar are atrocious… Sorry! but I think you can get the gist of it!

    after the next game i would let wilson go,he is a marshmallow of a player.

     

     

    Kelvin is a player whose confidence can be fragile at times. Notts Forest shennanigans

     

    this week can’t have helped.

    Important not to concede a goal at home – sure we will score out there.

     

     

    The Elfs are an average side.

     

     

    Confident we will get through.

     

     

    Hh!!

  5. NegAnon2 on

    Not a bad result – no away goal is critical.

     

     

    We need to score over there to get through. We have shown we are capable but would have liked a bigger safety net.

     

     

    We NEED a striker – once again we are gambling.

    FF – 7

     

    ML – 7

     

    EA – 7

     

    KW – 8

     

    EI – 8

     

    JF – 7

     

    SB – 7

     

    BK – 6

     

    KC – 8

     

    GS – 9

     

    AS – 7

     

    Subs

     

    JL – 7

     

    CM – NA

     

     

    Broony improved in second half, whilst defence was reasonably compact, easily dealing with Bangura

     

     

    Again, Commons and Samaras key men, only slight worry is that both are now booked for absolutely nothing.

     

     

    Take 1-0, fitter next week, even possibility of Derk with his pace next week of causing problems.

     

     

    Think we’ll draw or even win next week, definitely expect a goal

    The stokes thing…

     

    I’ve always wanted the boy to be given a chance to shine….

     

    Especially after the killie turnaround .

     

    But

     

    The moment I realised that he simply is not good enough for the highest level was not tonight

     

    But earlier in the week when pressed if he could fill the void left by hooper

     

     

    His reply of the team needs to replace the goals lost with the sale of hooper.

     

     

    Any real deal would have swaggered and exclaimed F…! Aye ! I’m yer man ! I’ll bang them in fur us !

  15. Glendalystonsils likes a mr whippy with his lime green jelly on

    They hackers were certainly no from Rivendell!

  16. Joe Filippis Haircut on

    Well I still cant see a football player in Bangura I hope he doesnt make me eat my words next week. H.H.

  18. Dan on

    Evening folks,

     

     

    My summary of the match.

     

     

    Samaras and Commons our two best attacking players. The team look disjointed and not balanced. Wilson and Ambrose look like a mistake waiting to happen and they made Bangura look a good player early doors.

     

     

    Midfield not creative enough. Forrest’s direct opponent gets booked very early on. He looked slow to me. Tactics, Forrest hardly saw the ball after that. The guy was shit scared of him, but ball not getting passed to Forrest enough after that.

     

     

    Stokes is simply not good enough. Izzie had his moments and the one quality ball he produces ends in a goal. Brown and Kayal anonymous.

     

     

    If lennie does not get his act together next week tactically it’s going to be a tough one. If he sets the team up right and plays the right formation I fancy us strongly.

    Interesting stat – Celtic were the only homeside that didn’t concede in tonight’s CL qualifiers.

  20. Patrick27 on

    According to BBC it says FF got a hand to their crossbar strike

     

     

    To me it looked like a straight hit but if he did, what a save

  21. borgo67 on

    Thanks to all for the updates. Normally it’s torture but felt quite relaxed tonight ,

     

    the vino helped.

  24. Malarkey on

    Dan

     

     

    It is a little frustrating how often the ball seems to get played straight under James Forrests feet making him stop … or even better just slightly behind him so he has to turn round.

  25. Awe_Naw_No_Annoni_Oan_Anaw_Noo on

    Wicklow

     

     

    We can meet up if you fancy it for the next qaulifier if televised. Or maybe a group game. Sounding confidentieel eh ? I promise not to mention the SFA, UEFA, Sevco ;-)

  26. THE EXILED TIM on

    deserved win.

     

     

    Ref was a joke.

     

     

    Anto, you try too hard, loosen up,.

     

     

    Kayal, see above.

     

     

    Sammi, superb.

     

     

    Joe made the difference.

     

     

    We will score over in Sweden, can’t see us not getting through.

     

     

    All in all, a good night.

    pauloantony –

     

     

    I agree. Stokes ws very poor. He is so selfish and is never a team player.

     

     

    At 1-0 he was in space on the left near the goal-line inside the box with Kris and Joe in good positions 6 and 10 yards out. What does Stokes do? He tries to chip the keeper, who catches it easily. A glory-hunter with a very bad attitude.

  29. Craigellachie10 on

    Personally I would recall bangura and put him out on loan to somewhere like Cumnock. That would learn him.

  30. weet weet weet on

    Malarkey

     

     

    Even though I didn’t understand a word they said,I think they thought he was da man

    Caught a link from twitter on some basic game stats for tonight

     

     

    http://www.celtic.vitalfootball.co.uk/stats.asp?a=326821&utm_source=dlvr.it&utm_medium=twitter

     

     

     

     

    14 Goal Attempts 3

     

    9 On Target 1

     

    14 Corners 2

     

    5 Fouls 16

     

    3 Yellow Cards 5

     

    0 Red Cards 0

     

    54 % 46

     

     

    Tells me we are either shooting too much or not clinical enough when we do or a combination of both. to have 9 shots on target and 1 goal is not good enough.

     

     

    stats say we were the better team.

    Your loyalty to Anto is commendable.

     

    Nevertheless,the Stokes bashers tonight included Commons and Forrest with 5 to go when he decided to swap feet instead of the quick cross from the byline to the far post.

     

    Frustrating.

  34. pauloantony on

    Next week throw in our new signing

     

     

    Five in mid….

     

    Him on left , Forrest on right, joe and broonster in middle and commons in hole behind our lone striker the Greek archer!

     

    Hit them on break and we’ll turn them over

    Their coach has just mentioned the astro turf. He sounds desperate.

     

    ……..

     

    That Astro Turf sounds like a player, we should put 11 men on him :>)

    Dan,

     

    reading that summary of the match I am amazed we won at all

     

     

    ——————————————————-

     

     

    And that was just the highlights. :o)

    ——————————————————————————–

     

     

    Totally agree Malarkey. Basic coaching of kids is to put the ball in front of the player so he runs on to the ball without breaking stride thus keeping the move flowing. And it’s not just with Forrest this happens. Don’t know if it’s early season rustiness, but it was poor tonight. I was expecting instructions to get the ball wide to Forrest so he could have a right go at the full back who looked slow to me and he had already been booked.

  42. Jeg er Neil Lennon-Greeninbingley on

    Sticky game. Well done bhoys.

     

    Commons and Samaras were the clever players. Stokes did well. Ledley made our midfield much stronger when he came on. The Bhoys did well tonight.

     

    But… we lack penetration. Everything is across the park.

     

    We need a midfield wizard IMO. We need a Paul McStay. Somebody who drives the play forward, not sideways.
