  1. Why the jeeebus was the game not on celtic tv ?

     

     

    Couple mates around just before 4am ..laptop hooked upto tv then says game not on celtic tv . Nearly sure i watched an earlier european game on it ?

     

     

    Finally got a stream just after there 2nd goal.

  2. Performance

     

     

    From every fan in the stadium to squad and management thank you… everyone played there part and kept the faith after dodgy start.

     

     

    Brown,matthews, bitton and armstrong were excellantm

     

     

    Man of match for me was matthews.. put in great shift when it mattered and proved alot of people wrong.

     

     

    Izzy.. love the wee man and hes super in spl but he is defo our weak link when we move up a level.

     

     

    Tonight shows aswel that we can probably sadly live without mulgrew ,ambrose and forrest.. would keep mulgrew for centre half cover but any decent bid forrest and ambrose should be accepted.

     

     

    One other thing.. i like the shape ronnie has us set up but i dont think we have any lone striker in our squad that can do the role.. i was praying for guidetti to get on alongside griffiths as both them would cause that inter defence major problems but how do we line up so we can have 2 up top ?

     

     

    Any links to berti before the match ?

  3. Jobo Jobo, where art thou Jobo?

     

     

    Need to know what this weather’s like that I’m looking out the train window at!

    Is everyone wiped out?

     

    Did Oldtim get you all scooped at the blane valley?!?

  5. Great night last night. Getting into last 16 not vital, proving we can compete at this level and giving our young players the exposure and thrill of playing at that level and with that atmosphere is.

     

    Bhoys became men on that field last night and of course grown men on the terraces, in pubs and in homes all over the world became kids.

     

    When was it ever any different.

  6. Very often , the opposition in these European ties have worked out our play after the first game and adjust their tactics accordingly, and we subsequently struggle. I can remember a CL qualifier ( dead rubber) against AC Milan under MON at Celtic Park , where the Italian defence pushed literally up to the half way line, where they reckoned that Sutton and Hartson could not outpace a 35 year old Costacurta and similarly aged Maldini. They were correct.

     

     

    Although neither team, last night, are knocking on the last 8 of the champions league, we can at least take from the game ( mistakes aside) that we went toe-to-toe with the Italians and played proper football with the ball on the deck. Not relying on free kicks , corners and high balls.

     

     

    Defensively , the centre back pairing looked shaky , startled by the extra quality and pace they were up against , hopefully the match will instill a bit more self belief and we can impose ourselves a bit better on the Inter forwards in the second leg.

     

     

    Our right hand side looked a bit shaky defensively , with GMS not providing proper cover for his full back and guilty of ball watching a few times, if you were Inter you would attack our right side and try and isolate Jason and Adam. Shore the right side up for the first 20 minutes and make them come down Izzy’s wing.

     

     

    We need to start better next week , so both full backs stay put for the first 20 minutes I’d be tempted to pull Stefan back and start with a solid 3 , allowing Scott to push more to the right to cover Adam , which will allow GMS a bit more freedom.

     

     

    As the we grow into the game then Stefan gets released forward …..

     

     

    On the break , I can see wee GMS making a name for himself ….. nice to see the Paradise windfall went to some Thurso folks , GMS pals or relatives ……

    Thought I’d fluck thro herald sports section to see what MSM have to say.

     

     

    Herald. Scott Mullen. Player ratings.

     

    Nir 6?

     

    Griffo ……. wait for this. 5 ‘ran tirelessly up front without much to show for it……’

     

     

    On this basis my 9 y/o already reads a game too well to be a journo.

    So I turn the page to Hugh McDonald.

     

    Subheading reads, ‘night of nostalgia only underlines decline as European dreams hang by a thread’ with highlighted quotation, ‘the scottish champions’ admirable refusal to lie down should not conceal the reasons why they were on their knees in the first place.’

     

     

    Enjoy the raith rovers game Hugh.
