I think the pundits are more than entitled to analyse and point out our defensive mistakes- I have no problem with that. They go over the score when they do lazy analysis and national stereotyping.
If I saw the same attitudes being visited on English clubs, I’d credit it as fair opinion.
But that is not what they do. What they give us is lazy and condescending. I don’t think they even know their audience. I suspect they were watching the Spurs game when they should have been working on our game. We pay to receive this abuse.

Funnily enough despite CG uncharacteristic faux pas… 3-3 was a fair result?
I wonder if Ronny using ‘boring’ and ‘EPL’ in the same sentence recently has hit a raw nerve with the Anglos? Just a thought as to why they were so scathing about us tonight on BT Sport.
Mackay-Steven (£200k… fee quoted in Scottish press)
Johansen (£2.2M)
Armstrong (£1.8M… fee quoted in Scottish press)
Griffiths (£880k)
Subs:
Ambrose (£3.3M) !!!
Guidetti (£3.08M)
Henderson (£264k)
Celtic average = £2.0M per player
.
With 15 minutes to go Internazionale brought on a sub (Kovacic) whose value was about the same as the combined total for ten of the Celtic starting eleven (exclude Johansen).
We operate on completely different levels, yet apart from a little bad luck for all three of their goals, they certainly weren’t 4½ times as good as Celtic.
Well done Bhoys. A fantastic recovery and a performance of which you should be proud. Now go over there, have some self belief (and defensive discipline!) and beat them on their own patch…

Wow, I though we grow up tonight, three mistakes cost us but we wouldn’t give up, the birth of a real team, we are better than them, all it needs is time and we have plenty

Faith restored.
I think Jock Stein would have appreciated the style of play tonight. Apart from the unfortunate goalkeeper errors, we played like a Stein team.
Loved it and we have a young team to build around now.
Keep faith with Ronny.

Fantastic performance from our young team tonight
Proper Celtic side playing the Celtic way that many have cried out for for years
Since when did we need the English media to give us any praise ? To hell with them I don’t care – they will when we tear one of their teams asunder
This team maybe realised just how good they could be tonight – they will get better – Ronnie will get better – they will add to the team – strap in and get ready for a wonderful ride !

In a crazy way, I think we go into the 2nd leg in a better frame of mind and with a better chance, then if we played a clever game and squeaked a one nil win.
Just can’t express how happy I am, I don’t care about the mistakes, the what might have beens. I am just proud and happy.
Immense effort from Celtic on an emotional night at Celtic Park.
Thought we were tremendous and deserved more, but what a mighty effort from one and all.

I doubt it will impact as humphries is a public school prefect on work experience, Sutton is a perma raging parody of a pundit desperate for Ronny to fail so as Sutton might be right. Macmanaman is intellectually challenged at best.

I reckon we have as good a chance or even marginally better than Liverpool, Spurs and Ajax of going through to the next round. I would have Guidetti on from the start not because he is a better player but I think he will thrive on this type of game.

Tin Hat on…..barring a run of miracles, Celtic will never be competing for the European Cup…..yep, the money made from qualifying for the group stages/last 32 is massive…..are we prepared to accept that? or another eventual run to the Europa Cup final…..where is our level….I say both, European Cup group, drop into Europa…..sorry

Sutton should be banned from Celtic Park,
I wonder if Ronny using ‘boring’ and ‘EPL’ in the same sentence recently has hit a raw nerve with the Anglos? Just a thought as to why they were so scathing about us tonight on BT Sport.
Some perspective:
Internazionale player values

Carrizo (£528k)
Campagnaro (£880k)
Jesus (£11.44M)

Santon (£6.26M)
GuarÃn (£11M)
Medel (£8.8M)
Shaqiri (£15.84M)
Kuzmanovic (£4.4M)
Icardi (£18.48M)
Palacio (£5.72M)
Subs:
Kovacic (£19.36M)
Dodô (£6.16M)
Internazionale average = £9.2M per player
.
Celtic player values
(from http://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/celtic-fc/startseite/verein/371)
Gordon (£880k)
Matthews (£1.76M)
Denayer (£440k)
van Dijk (£4.4M)
Izaguirre (£3.74M) !!
Brown (£3.98M)
Bitton (£1.32M)

When big JG came on I thought “Now would be a good time to start scoring again” He did not let me down and what a good goal.
Tonight was great experience for the team.
You could actually see them growing in stature as the game went on.
Get into the Champion’s League group stage next year & we’ll be getting better & better.
Come on ye bhoys in green.
