    Apologies for the duplicate Bonfigli highlights.

     

    Initial post was under moderation caused if I remember by too many links.

     

    Hence I broke it up and reposted 4 links at a time.

    It’s hard to compose all of that in your mind.

     

    I guess I’ll just have to rewatch it later. :-))

    That’s what you call a game of football.

     

    Two teams going for it. Chances made, Chances missed. Chances taken and a result in doubt until late in the game.

     

     

    Some excellent passing and movement, in spite of having to rejig the formation after Brown’s departure,

     

     

    Significant that we saw out the game without arguably our three most influential players; Brown, Rogic and Forrest.

     

     

    Bencovic is a star in the making. Pity we can’t keep him.

    Very good attacking performance today with some delightful football.

     

    Better finishing would have seen us eclipse the 5 we put past St Johnstone last time out. Looking like a hungry team again ??

  18. leftclicktic on

    Wooooohooooo

     

    This is how it feels to be Celtic :)))))))

     

    Confident again we will run all over any team in Scotland when asked a question.

     

    Thank you Brendan and Bhoys, have a great Sat night all.

    I totally got that one wrong – I thought we’d be up against it today – praise to lennie for not parking the bus – praise to BR for pulling that one out of the bag after the int break

     

     

    here we go

    From BBC. Not quite how I saw it, mind you.

     

    Celtic survived a late scare to stay within three points of Premiership leaders Hearts after an enthralling victory over Hibernian.

     

     

    Tom Rogic and Olivier Ntcham had Brendan Rodgers’ side two goals up within 20 minutes before Scott Brown went off injured.

     

     

    Florian Kamberi gave Hibs hope before Odsonne Edouard restored Celtic’s two-goal lead on 70 minutes.

     

     

    Martin Boyle countered immediately but Edouard sealed victory late on.

     

     

    It was drama from the first to the last whistle at Celtic Park as Rodgers’ men racked up their third Premiership victory in a row.

     

     

    Hibs fall five points off the pace as they sit in fourth.

     

     

    Celtic toyed with Hibs

     

     

    The injury to regular right-back David Gray was pivotal as Hibs changed their shape to a back three. But the formation failed to work as Celtic ran riot going forward.

     

     

    With only Leigh Griffiths missing from the team that thrashed St Johnstone 6-0 last time out, the champions were clearly keen to pick up where they left off and they relished sinking their teeth into Hibs. Two goals swiftly arrived along with three other efforts off the post as Rodgers’ side toyed with their opponents.

     

     

    The goal from Rogic was typically elegant from the Australian international. The Ntcham goal was a fine team effort and Edouard profited from a searing moment of wing play from James Forrest before putting the seal on the win with a second.

     

     

    Hibs would tweak their formation midway through the first half to match up with Celtic, and it brought more stability for the away side as they began to create opportunities. But by then Celtic were in control.

     

     

    The goals from Kamberi and Boyle gave the second half fizz but in truth Hibs were always on the catch up after their bad start.

     

     

    Scott Brown

     

    Scott Brown receives treatment before going off in the first half

     

    Lennon gamble fails to pay off

     

     

    There was much excited talk in the lead-up to this match over whether or not Hibernian could be considered legitimate title contenders. Neil Lennon had branded such talk as “folly”. On this basis he was correct to do so.

     

     

    Before the match – and to his credit – the Hibs boss talked about taking the game to Celtic. But the gamble failed as Celtic took control.

     

     

    Of course this was always going to be a tough test for Hibs, and they remain a work in progress. But in the corresponding fixture last season Hibs truly did take the game to Celtic and came away with a 2-2 draw. So in that context this 4-2 defeat will feel like a setback.

     

     

    Credit to Celtic. They have been asked many a question this season and at times they have fumbled the answer.

     

     

    But they have now beaten big rivals Rangers, Aberdeen and Hibernian – albeit it, all at home. The mojo might not be back completely, but they are delivering the results

    enjoyed that hibs didn’t park the bus and tried to play football benkovic is a player but Edouard was great.hh.

  26. THE EXILED TIM on

    Some of the football we played today was awesome, the one touch, the passing and moving, the ball control, a lot of it was coming off today, two league games in a row we could have hit double figures and nobody could have complained one iota.

     

    A decent result on thurs would be nice, play like we did today and why not, the players just have to believe and it’s possible.

     

    Play like that next week against the edinburgh huns we will spank them.

     

    Delighted.

  31. What is the Stars on

    Ok

     

    Who gave james forrest and Tom rogic new extended contracts.

     

    Who paid 9 million for that French eddy dud.

     

    If it was Lawwell He should be chased out the door

     

    actually I would carry up him his heated driveway myself

     

    C’mon the 49ers

     

    Neganon and on CSC

  32. big packy 1 on

    for a lot of the game today, we played the Glasgow celtic way, foraging down the wings, crisp incisive passing could have been six.hh.

    Hail! Hail! What a great game , great result and a smashing performance. Oh to have a nice player like Benkovic on a 4 year deal? He sets a solid platform and the rest just happens.

     

    The wee Hibs number 7 was the proverbial wasp at a barbecue, a permanent pest.

     

    Going to have a football night tonight all from Spain. Have a great evening everybody. HH

    What a great game that was. Loved it. Two attacking teams going for it. Delighted to see us putting together another quality display after St Johnstone.

     

    Credit to Hibs for never giving up but TBH we should have been out of sight by half time.

     

    One of these days we won’t hit the woodwork 4 or 5 times and SS will get his eye in again, and somebody is going to be on the end of an absolute caning.

     

    Well done Brendan and all the bhoys.

     

    Is Mulumbu injured? He wasn’t even on the bench.

    GERRYFAETHEBRIG on 20TH OCTOBER 2018 6:33 PM

     

     

    I agree. Michael Stewart knows the game inside out and it shows in his analysis, but he is also honest and not saddled by a pro-hun agenda, and that alone sets him a mile above the lickspittles and grovellers who comprise the rest of Scotland’s “football analysts”.

     

     

    I also like Willie Miller for the same reasons.
