  1. Just in around ten minutes – having tea and toast – still buzzing!

     

     

    Bitter sweet tonight – 1% bitter, 99% sweet

     

     

    We can take great heart from what we all witnessed this evening.

     

     

    I said earlier today that the right sort of performance could do wonders for the squad as we look to put the treble to bed.

     

     

    Tonight Ronny’s team came of age – this result so much better than a stodgy 0-0 draw.

     

     

    The mistakes by Craig were unfortunate – amazing really as both the shot and the through-ball were wide of the goal.

     

     

    However I am ‘splitting hairs’

     

     

    We are still in the tie and quite frankly I am sure Ronny and the players will, based on tonight, fancy having a real go.

     

     

    Yes we still have a way to go, but think how far we have come since last August/September.

     

     

    I say to Ronny – go forward and build this team – make it into what you want – you’ve earned the right

     

     

    Summing up – the belief is back and we are playing like Celtic. There is much to be optimistic about = HH

    Saltires…..what’s with all this Yank- speak “calling out” malarkey?

     

     

     

    ——

     

     

    Yes -“exposed” sums it up

     

     

    Complete and utter warmers

     

     

    But big arms…

  3. The Good Ship Celtica on

    Just one of those nights.

     

     

    Great to hear the old Ghirl rockin’ again.

     

     

    TGSC,

     

    Sailing On….

  4. As usual in Europe. A couple of comical errors cost us, the only thing missing was a Caldwell own goal!

     

    Gotta say though the bhoys deserved at least a draw.

  5. Turkeybhoy

     

     

    Who said Izzy had a bad game?

     

     

    Puzzled by that. This was a real test and apart from the first 13 minutes all passed.

     

     

    An absolute classic of a game

  6. pundits here on sports net world on the money.

     

     

    celtic cant compete with the epl re money but what a game,also said cg cost us two goals but has been great for us all year.

  7. Awe_Naw_No_Annoni_Oan_Anaw_Noo on

    Sutton is just a hurting Celtic fan/man. He does not have a lifetime of pre xmas Euro footy like us. Macca lost it tonighr…Celtic should be beating Inter 2 or 3 nil easily ….he really said this. A poor pundit..His analysis of football does not go beyond the match he just witnessed. I suggest a multiple tabloid reader

  8. ....PFayr supports WeeOscar on

    Collymore dropped for telling the truth

     

     

     

    The best the Huns can do is to try to drag us into the mire with them …..deal with your own problems !!!

  9. bournesouprecipe on

    Another magical night in Paradise.

     

     

    We’ll never know what would have happened if…………………..

     

     

    Celtic were superb playing against a side from a different stratosphere, and the home support were the extra man we needed.

     

     

    Two down before we kicked a ball, we somehow clawed our way back in, and showed something that wasn’t there at the start of European campaigns. Players in the main played out of their skins, with very few that didn’t step up a grade.

     

     

    Never have two signings had the start made by GMS and SA who both revelled in the big time atmosphere. Progressive management and a joy to watch are RD’s attacking side set to sweep the domestic board.

     

     

    Onwards and upwards

  10. I’m only going to say this once, because I don’t want to focus on this.

     

     

    But I’ve just scanned the goals again on the telly and I am staggered at the BT Sport comments from Sutton and MacManaman (a guy I’d respected)

     

     

    For him to say that “this Celtic team should be beating Inter comfortably” is staggering, absolutely staggering. Especially when they all do down the SPL all the time.

     

     

    Sutton was a hero as a player for us, one of the giants of MON’s rebirth of our club. To hear him now is so so disappointing.

  11. Ray Winstone's Big Disembodied Heid on

    For McManaman read McFannyman. A plastic scouser whose football abilities were in inverse ratio to his overblown opinion of himself.

     

     

    This trumpet doesn’t have a clue about what supporting a football team means, nor about the special relationship between the Celtic team and its supporters.

  12. It sounds like it is a good thing to be watching abroad on a channel which is not in English going by the ire Sutton and other’s comments are provoking.

  13. When the Battered Bunnet posted earlier

     

    that no one could predict what would happen tonight he was bang on.

     

     

    On train home.

     

    Knackered & happy to still be in the tie.

     

    Feck the errors.

     

    Top night.

  14. Ellboy – I am Neil Lennon, YNWA.

     

     

    British football commentary is on the whole poor, under researched and lazy, it smacks of the arrogance that the English have always had about their game, Chris Sutton was a great Celtic player, no argument as a pundit he strikes me as be a tad bitter to be objective, McMannaman just sounds like a hysterical Scouse Hairdresser…

     

     

     

    Jamie Redknapp for me mate.

  15. Delighted with the draw as it represents progress from the earlier rounds v lesser opposition. Can forgive Craig a very uncharacteristic mistake, or maybe two depending on your view of the first goal, however, several managers have failed to recognise the liability that izzy is as a defender in Europe, and I sincerely hope Ronnie saw enough tonight to realise he isn’t good enough at this level.

     

     

    Atmosphere electric. Thrills and spills. Superb stuff, but as I say, from a pessimistic viewpoint, we need to sort that left back slot out.

     

     

    Return leg? We will hopefully be on the right end of a 3 2 result.

     

     

    Well done bhoys.

  16. Colour Blind Bhoy on

    Just home from an amazing Celtic evening and pretty certain I won’t be in bed for at least the next 94 minutes. That said, I might spend the first 13 of those minutes scrolling back then I’ll give the game my full attention.

     

    Thank you Ronny and all of the Bhoys tonight, that was special.

  17. jude2005 is Neil Lennon \o/

    Sturgen getting a slapping on Q T

     

     

    Aye,very good.WTF.

  18. supercelt,

     

     

    I didn’t think the first two goals were erros amigo.

     

     

    Watching it on delay by an hour, I kept rewinding at the significant moments.

     

     

    The first goal, big Virgil did the right thing, he blocked the return pass back into the box, so that CG only had to cover the near post – it was the rebound and the very quick reaction from the Inter player that led to a very very good first goal.

     

     

    The second one was again unlucky – Izzy’s clearance coming off of Virgil and landing at the feet of the Inter player, who again, showed their value, by making it count.

     

     

    On the other hand, Ronny said in the post match interview that the defence should have done better, so I bow to his better knowledge and your own. Certainly the third was disappointing.

     

     

    The first two goals just seemed to me to be purely bad luck. But what I took from that, was excellent management, as we held our ground, and got the equaliser quickly.

  19. repostish

     

     

    Weefra,

     

     

    did yer good lady ( better half ) wife get her scan results…..pretty sure you sed this week…..uve been awfy quiet…..am not happy ;-((

     

     

    H.H.

  20. I wonder if talking the Scottish game down on these service providers lowers our games value for the next TV rights negotiation, Paranoid ! not arf.

     

     

    Hail Hail.

  21. Just watching the game again on CTV

     

     

    What a great move for our first goal

     

     

    Commentary with TB fantastic at the second goal

     

     

    HH

  22. Im glad Ronny finally got the chance to see Celtic Park packed to the rafters with 60,000 crazy Celts roaring on HIS team

     

     

    Welcome to Celtic Ronny

     

     

    B-)

  23. Biton was immense tonight. He was in total control in the middle and never panicked.

     

     

    Armstrong was a hero too, worked hard and always played with his head up.

     

     

    Brown was immense. Not always the tidiest, but he really is the drive and spirit of this team.

     

     

    GMS is a true Celtic player. A winger in the classic mould. Won’t always work and come off, but love his attitude trying to take the man on. Hope he keeps this spirit.

     

     

    These were the standouts, but many others put in great shifts and most importantly didn’t let the roof fall in at 0-2.

     

     

    Can we go through? Why not?

     

     

    In terms of the rest of the match… it struck me again that CP is a truly magnificent arena in which to watch a game. The noise is contained and the crowd are right on the players. Wonderful.

     

     

    Great too to see (most of) the Lions. Age shall not weary them.

     

     

    Well done too Nessun Dorma before KO. A beautiful song, from a beautiful country, which speaks to the heart of every single person in the world who hears it, every time…

  24. ….pfayr supports weeoscar

    Yes, GMS played well. I think Forrest may find it difficult to get his place back if he’s ever fit again.

     

    GMS will improve once he gets To Ronny’s level of fitness, Armstrong saw well, he was suffering from cramp before he had to go off

  25. Such entertainment. Anybody with an eye in their head only has to look at the spending disparity between the two teams to see what an unbelievable result/comeback that this was for such a young Celtic team.

     

    As for those two oil tankers on BT Sport. Mc Manaman states that Celtics lap of honour demonstrated how far we have fallen ie celebrating a draw against “the worst Inter team in 40 years”.

     

    Completely ignoring the fact that the celebration was as much about rescuing the tie with an equaliser so close to the finish. If brains were Semtex and their was an explosion in Mc Manamans head his hair wouldn’t be ruffled.

     

    As for Sutton. Dear God. What is it about criticism of our team by our ex players? The ex Huns don’t do it (it must be written into their EBT agreements). What do we do as a club which incites such hatred from past players?

     

    God bless the famous Glasgow Celtic.

  26. ffm, your probably right.. Comedy of errors / bad luck.. They always seem to happen to us on European nights unfortunatly. I was just waiting on the dodgy penalty decision or O.G.

     

    It showed a lot about ronnies team though, how we picked ourselves up, dusted down and got the result we (at the very least) deserved.
