    Suffice to say that’s what it is all about being a Celtic supporter! Might not have been the best ever but definitely a top ten.We saw some great individual performances,great camaraderie in adversity, and the return of the Celtic desire to prevail. I blooming well enjoyed every minute. Well done all and I mean the fans not just the manager and team.

  3. I was at the Australian Pink Floyd gig in the Usher Hall in Edinburgh tonight. I was desperate to watch the game but I’d commited. Great to (discretely) see the goals coming in, and then back to the heavy bass and the music and lasers..

  4. big family affair for me at the game tonight. loved it. 100% behind our young boss who will keep on learning. as for the arses that left early. get it right up yeah!! I was in 408 giving them sick as they left but it was their loss. Hope you feel like the traitors you are. hail hail!!

    Its amazing how many of them are coming out of the woodwork now.

     

    Where were they when their team was dying.

     

     

    Well rid

  6. Oh dear, just re – read my post and there are a few Iphone errors….’as a group, no comments on the commentator or pundit – just talk about my son and his beginning game!’

     

     

    Should read ‘just talk about Johansson and his ………..game’

     

     

    Off to bed

    Just back from the match, thanks to Bournesouprecipe for the ticket! :-)

     

     

    I can’t believe a lot of the negative comments from some for the first half. I’m just glad these guys weren’t at the game tonight! :-)

     

     

    I am still absolutely buzzing after that, and I also have the obligatory croaky throat! :-) That match was one of the best entertainment experiences I have witnessed in a long time. I really think Ronny Deila’s is taking us on a journey and I am very proud that I witnessed some really good football from Celtic tonight! :-) I just wish that we could get the crowds back up to full capacity more often; Celtic Park with 60,000 supporters giving it laldy is just awesome and was the real star of the show tonight! If I had to name players I would say that Johansen, Armstrong, Biton and Brown really impressed me. I am also proud that the Crowd gave Gordon superb encouragement tonight despite him not being at his best. We are a big Celtic family and are all in this together! :-)

     

     

    Yours in Celtic,

    It is up to us, to everyone at Celtic Park, to build up our own legends. We don’t want to live with history, to be compared with legends from the past. We must make new legends.

  9. What a night, just sitting here trying to come down to earth after .the amazing highs and lows tonight. Not the most technical skill on show but my God what a range of emotions. I would defy anyone not to be buzzing after that. I am up for work at 6-30 so hopefully will get some sleep but who cares.

     

     

    When the team and fans are together like tonight it is really a truly emotional experience. Great European night at Paradise

    Evening! Consider yourself acknowledged.

     

     

    Rudicantfail

     

     

    I can handle your Hunnish trolling. But your abuse of a brilliant song by a brilliant band for a moniker for one so unworthy does rather rip ma knitting.

     

     

    Apart from that I’m hugely unmoved by your warbling.

    Yes, they are No Good, the Good thing is that they have been exposed to all of Scottish Fitba for what they are.

     

     

    I’m sure there is no Scottish Football team that wants them back because they have acted like they are victims, whilst they cheated Everyone in the Scottish game. The genuine Scottish fitba supporter isnae daft.

  12. DAVID,

     

     

    I thought we were technically, very good tonight, not at the Barca level or anywhere near that, but I thought we were impressive. I would say it was actually one of the best in a long time, given the opposition and the tempo of the game.

     

     

    Opinions eh. ;))

  13. The Ratings The Players Have Been Waiting For:

     

     

    (Probably not, but a million miles more accurate than the SMSM reports written through the bitter tears at JG’s equaliser…)

     

     

    Craig Gordon – 1st Half – 0 2nd Half – 10. TEN, I say!

     

     

    Takes a LOT of balls to play on after the big man blew the gig in the opening 45. Undoubtedly our best discount signing since Lubo, the Player of the season by a mile proved THE most unlikliest Calamity Jane on the night.

     

     

    But showed his TRUE professionalism and massive strength of character to emerge 2nd half and pull off 2 stunning saves – the fingertips from Shaquiri cutting in form the right was world-class, and his last-gasp free-kick stop from same annoying energetic midget was equally brilliant – see it from behind the goals if you have any doubt; he clawed the ball out of the top corner after guessing exactly the placement. Well done, big fella. Deserving of ‘The Cat’ nomenclature; probably ‘Lion’ more apt tonight.

     

     

    Matthews – 7/10

     

     

    Looked shaky initially but persevered and was potent in attack, causing a lot of problems with tireless overlapping.

     

     

    Denayer – 6/10

     

     

    Dependable but appeared a little nervy at times and positionally wanting in 1st half.

     

     

    VVD – 6/10

     

     

    Again, held it together ultimately but was half asleep at times in the 1st half, hopelessly out of position at their 2nd when Izzy blasted it in his face. He should have been FACING the play when the ball was swept back, in a-la Franco Baresi, AC Milan captain and ultimate sweeper. Sharpen up Virgil.

     

     

    Izzy – 7/10

     

     

    Typical wild slash at their 2nd but a terrific threat going forward, had them scrambling after him many a time and if he hones his delivery we’ll take many a bigger side.

     

     

    Biton – 8/10

     

     

    A revelation. Proved he has the composure, aggression and passing speed to live in such company. Great game, pleasure to see him always look to create.

     

     

    Broon – 7/10

     

     

    But for Broony, where would we be? Probably nursing a 5-0 pumping. His character, strength and sheer manic will to win is never to be underestimated; exactly the sort of captain we needed to drive us back into the game with belief. And competed superbly all night against the wannabee aristos of their midfield; just thought he mis-used the ball in attacking positions more than he usually does.

     

     

    Armstrong – 8/10

     

     

    Can you ask more than a new young talent to come in against Inter Milan and play with the head constantly up and provide the platform for an amazing comeback? Great stuff, and what a thrilling future prospect.

     

     

    GMS – 8/10

     

     

    Like his new mate, a blinding performance. Thought he was tiring and done at 60 minutes then he avoids the hook and rallies to cause them more problems for the last 20! Outstanding young player. We stole a fortune getting the two of them for £2 million.

     

     

    Johansen – 7/10

     

     

    Guy who looked like a classic heidless chicken proving us doubters wrong (and Ardman studios) by constantly getitng into Inter (see what I did there?) faces and making penetrating runs behind their lines. Very efficient with his energy expenditure, kept him on the go at vital times. Looking like a quality athlete and useful player.

     

     

    Griffiths – 8/10

     

     

    Busy, troublesome, agitating, always on the end of a searching ball, always causing them problems by his sheer presence (as four burds will testify to…). Easy for the lone striker to disappear with a shrug against quality opposition like them, but LG was a permanent headache and deserving of his start. Pish free-kick when glory beckoned, but he’ll be more annoyed than us which is a good sign.

     

     

    Henderson – 7/10

     

     

    Brief, but excellent appearance; right in about them, no respect for experience, almost scored with a dig, great ball in for last-minute orgasms; well done the bhoy.

     

     

    Efe – 6/10

     

     

    Panic is never good when you’re on edge as it is, but his introduction at RB seemed like a brief LSD flashback; however, kept his composure, kept possession, no silly stuff and pressed them back.

     

     

    Guidetti 9/10

     

     

    9 for impact alone. The conundrum that is JG lef this indellible mark on Celtic folklore with that stunning equaliser, even if it did look like an opportune slash at first view. Nonetheless, he was there, RIGHT THERE, at the vital second and crashed it into the roof of the net. Better than sex? Hmm, but it reminded me of what I used to tell the burd/missus around Henrik’s glorious years: ‘That guy makes me feel things you, or any woman alive, could never hope to match’…

     

     

    And she’s still with me.

     

     

    Only ‘cos Henrik’s not…

     

     

    ;))

     

     

    Ronny Deila – 8/10

     

     

    I’m one of the real skeptics. Looked for an improvement tonight over the tactical ineptitude of the Salzburg humuliation. I think I got it. Whatever the cost of the individual errors that had us trailing, the FACT that a young Celtic side could rally from 2 down against an Inter Milan side – regardless of ‘expert’ opinion of their current state they’re still graced by hundreds of millions of squids wrth of talent – and then suffer another crushing blow, and THEN still pull a draw out of the hat, HAS to be applauded and the manager’s input has to be credited.

     

     

    I want to love him. I dig the attitude, the relentless ambition to play exciting attacking football; I frown at the seeming naivete of some tactical choices and wonder if the fantasy can ever meet the reality of top-quality competition in Europe; but show up well in the San Siro, and get us into the CL next season and I’m a convert.

     

     

     

    The Crowd 10/10

     

     

    Hun Monkeys, you’ll NEVER achieve such magnificence of support; and the world’s media will tell you tomorrow/today. A cauldron of thunderous, inspiring positivity. Awesome.

     

     

     

    Overall:

     

     

    To sum Celtic up tonight after all that bluster; two words only needed – EPIC, and BRAVE.

  14. Great night. Shuggy jnr took me in.First game in yonks. What an atmosphere! Thought about a gubbing after 13 minutes.Sorry for CGordon, very slippery ball at the 3rd, great save at the death from a class act, Sequiri. Some player. Well done, the Hoops !

  15. What a day, what a game!

     

    The YNWA was awesome. A team grew up tonight. Thought Nir, Scott, Adam and Stuart were immense. Surprisingly the two giants Craig and Virgil were off form.

     

    We can win in Milan.

     

    Hail Hail

    Well you’re no Chic Young I’ll say that!

     

     

    Hard to argue with a word or mark you give mhate.

     

     

    Right, my Dad’s safe home, my Son’s in bed, and it seems Delaney’s is accounted for.

     

     

    Shower n bed time then. Still buzzing though!

     

    But it won’t be this in the morning as my wee Mum used to say.

  17. Delaneys Dunky,

     

     

    Superb stuff tonight, I know you will probably have seen the link before, but check out my Ronny D link from the previous page.

     

     

    It is Brilliant and Prophetic. ;))

  18. Petec

     

     

    I felt a very powerful, positive spirit within Paradise tonight.

     

    A magic in the air.

    ==========================

     

     

    Hahaha, how about the conffetti all you Hun Monkeys produced tonight tearing up your betting slips in the 94th minute!

     

     

    Bet it put Chinese New Year celebrations to shame!

     

     

    GIRUY.

  20. Delaneys Dunky

     

     

    Nir and Scott were Brilliant in midfield, Scott is Now a class operator and has obviously been working very hard at his game because his passing is really starting to impress me, not World Class passes but making good passes all the time, the right pass. Nir, he is just an exquisite fitba player, and he was right up for it tonight, flying into challenges and putting his head in where it could get hurt – The 60000 effect.

     

     

    Adam, after a shakey start, really was at home in this company and was a constant menace to Inter.

     

     

    The whole team were just Excellent.

    ffm – i’m the only conspiracy theorist in the village)

     

     

    __________

     

     

    Saw it the same, to come back the way we did on both occassions, shows to me the the fight and belief that the players have that RD and the coaching staff have instilled in our team.

     

     

    A look at the money Inter have spent and the wage bill in comparison to ours is grande canyionesc…noo that’s a new word ;)

     

     

    —-

     

     

    sipsini,

     

     

    Aye! And what a game we gave them. Am keen to give credit to Inter as well. I’ve always hated playing Italian teams for a number of footballing and refereeing reasons, but I have a lot of respect for them tonight, and the return leg will be very very interesting to watch imo.

     

     

    They were up for this tonight as much as we were. Fantastic contest, and imo the best game of football I’ve seen in a long time, although to be fair, I don’t really watch anything other than ourselves these days :)

     

     

    Inter were excellent, and we matched them. The key winner next week will be tactical imo. Ronny had the excellent Roberto Mancini thinking hard tonight. We have a very intelligent manager imo – but then, when have we not !!

     

     

    Great stuff tonight – the off-pitch affairs have been getting me down, but tonight the support and the team got me all fired up again. Loved it.

  22. ffm – i’m the only conspiracy theorist in the village)

     

     

    I didn’t make the game tonight, but watching us play an attacking game was a joy, we were relentless with our style and I said to my mates if we get beat, fair play…we went for it.

     

     

    No more tippy tappy sideways football.

     

     

    Thank feck I’m off work tomorrow, mates not long left…phew.

  23. Petec,

     

     

    Have you recovered from Belfast yet?

     

     

    What a feeling watching the third goal go in, happy as Larry :))

     

     

    Are you making CQN 11 with DD?

  24. In Craig Gordon’s defence for third goal.

     

    My seat in the south stand looks across the penalty spot at that end. The ball appeared to accelerate as it bounced and caught him by surprise.

     

    The pitch has pretty much been unused past 7 weeks so tends to get lush ( eg Wimbledon show courts are always fast for first few days until they are played in) the soaking at start of game and again before third goal would only make it faster.

     

    Regardless of how we fare in Milan I am confident that we will go into Champ league qualifiers with confidence. For first time we have bought so well in January rather than in summer when the new players do not bed in. The outlay on Armstrong and GMS is already being recouped.

     

    Absolutely love Liam Henderson’s confidence ,looking to get the ball, not afraid to take a shot, could be a real star.

     

    Loved Bitton from his first outings and still laugh at my mate who argues that he is too lightweight. I see him as a Glen Hoddle type who will hopefully give us years of service….although i fear he will be snatched by one of the Euro giants..

     

     

    Understand Chris Sutton has been spreading his negativity.

     

    I have no time for him now. He was paid handsomely by us and he p1$$ed it up against the wall. Can not see how any broadcaster would want someone like him dragging everything down.

     

    Loved him when he played for us but his constant moaning depressing jibes have coloured my view of him now.

     

    Big shout out to Stan Collymore.
