Lads…
………disappoint them.
We battered them 0-3 >}}}
mullet and co.
With you on the wing backs bombing forward.only if we can play the 3 at the back and cover their areas do i like to see defenders up attacking.hh
Robert Tressel
Spot on. A very thin line indeed.
Hope referee is brought to account as managers try to clarify what is and is not a foul using tonight as examples.
If we had sat back we’d have got an even bigger hiding …..
Lets pack the defence and give Pirlo time on the ball ….
Jesus wept
Some complete shite being talked here tonight … We overachieved … We lost … Been a great journey, they are by far the best team in Italy, for good reason. They carried luck, ref was a clown, we were unlucky to lose by such a margin. Shit happens … Has been fantastic to get so far. NFL you have achieved so much. Thank you.
Learn, move on, get better next year, that’s the only thing we take from tonight. Oh Gary maybe you should sign that contract.
Roberttressel – would certainly not be able to put it better myself.
Who dares (sometimes) wins….

My boy is hurting and disappointed – but he told me to post that Izzy was brilliant tonight …
===================================
My young fella was on the edge of the seat all night and when they got the second goal I saw in him what I was about Celtic at his age – raw emotion. Never like to see my children hurting but I was kinda pleased that he has caught the Celtic bug. He never really stood a chance of not getting it!!!!
I hope he gets the same joy I have had from Celtic.
And your boy is right Izzy was brilliant tonight.

Why do you ask?

Perhaps a lot more cynical too.
Juve played a very good game: designed to hit us on the break. They would have been happy with 0-1. Tonight’s score is a dream come true for them. It flatters them, grossly.
Nevertheless, I agree with those who say we played well and looked them in the eye until the third goal went in.
Their counter-attacking and finishing was excellent. Everything else about them leaves a bit of a sour taste. Cynical as well as clinical, provocative as well as attractive, arrogant as well as efficient. You can keep that. Give me Celtic every day of the week.
Favourite Uncle
We have a manager. One that has taken us to the last 16 in Europe, built his team on a shoe string budget all the while living under death threats.
You’re a joke. We’re all hurting but fans like you seriously piss me off.
Why did Sky Sports credit the first goal to Mastri? Yes, the ball was over the line before Wilson’s clearance, but the referee didn’t give the goal. Marchisio followed up and netted, but looking at the replay, Davie Provan said the ball was over the line, so it was Mastri’s goal and they gave it to him all night. So when did Sky have the right to give a goal when the officials didn’t?
Arrogance beyond extreme.
just in from the game……………….astounding of forehead!
Jonniem, well put some pathetic posts been put on here tonight
Fantastic performance form us tonight.
Have to say though that we didn’t get oue ‘key’players on the ball enough.
Hooper was in the game………….but not where it mattered as with Forrest.
Commons tried hard but can’t do it alone.
Defense was terrible. Efe playing was a mistake. He cost us 3 goals (2 he should have cleared and ! he should have scored). Wilson at fault positionally with the first.
Brown was immense as was Wanyama.
Tactically we were spot on. What you saw tonight was the diffence between 20k a week and 80k a week in the key positions. The ref didn’t help but we should be able to take him out the equation. All the other top teams do.
Learning experience for the boss again.
Proud though. Very F8ck!ng proud of the team tonight.
Thought we dominated most of the possession tonight but shows you what €100,000,000 more on players can buy you at this level.
We were at the races, but they were in a different race.
Very proud of the Bhoys!
HAIL HAIL
Read this blog in 3 weeks time and all the pessimism will have gone and we’ll be expecting to win 4-0. That’s what makes us Celtic supporters, we’ll get over the disappointment and we will believe we can do it. I would play exactly as we played tonight with big Sammi back.
Ah well we got further than in my heart of heart I thought we would. I thought we did well for long periods of the game but in the end were outdone by a typical Italian display.They do not play the most attractive football but they get results.I for one will not judge the players or the management staff but thank them for restoring a bit of pride in our european cup progress.Well done Lenny and the Bhoys
Great game tonight
Got to take your chances and make as few mistakes at this level
Was shocked to see Ambrose on from start
Neil took a gamble and it went boom
2 mistakes resulted in 2 goals
The wwf in the box for set pieces was
A total disgrace
The ref was playing to a diffrent set of rules
Anywhere else ion the pitch where you have both arms around a players body would have been a yellow card and foul
If it had been the Celtic player using this sort of defending we sure know what the outcome would have been
Have not seen la liga refs allow this tactic in Spanish football
So must only be for euro games
Both victor and Ambrose had clear cut headers and faiedl to hit the target when unmarked
Also commons had a few great chances to score
All in could have been a totally diffrent outcome tonight
Hope the bhoys know want is required for the next Euro campaign
And make sure we make the group stages again and get more experience to maybe turn over teams with massive budgets 10 times celtics
Barc home and away will be remembered for many a year

tet.
How’s you doing of the nails?
Hope your holding up tet as you will be the benchmark.hh
very proud of the performance tonight and absolutely gutted for the players, we did not deserve a 3 nil defeat.
juve were clinical alright but my god they absolutely cheated at every corner we had, It was even worse than the last time we played them at home but at least the ref on that occasion played to the rules of football and punished the fouling with a penalty.
really sick that a referee can have such an impact on a game and manage to book 2 Celtic players for being fouled in the box!!!!
The first corner set the tone for the night which involved gary hooper being wrestled into the net and because they got away with it our players had a defender with both arms around there waist holding them at every corner!!!!
Absolute disgrace from the referee and I will include the juventus team as a disgrace aswell because how they chose to defend at corners is not football, it is cheating pure and simple even if the ref lets you away with it.
I can live with us making mistakes as a team and the management made a mistake playing ambrose so close after the african cup of nations but we will learn from that.
Very proud to be a Celt

Maybes that’s the reason we can’t take the referees out of the equation….think about it…
Ive never been an efin Efe fan.
A very brisk, not time to stop and chat, walk across Glasgow South East after what was a poor night in Paradise, but just in time for Assam tea and cake. Pity it happened with a bulging Gazebo, and in front of the biggest, noisiest away support all season, and fair play to the Italians hope they enjoyed the Celtic gifts from the store, and elsewhere.
The team selection was surprising and the inclusion of Ambrose drew criticism, before a ball was kicked and probably will until NFL’s pre SPL match press conference on Friday, but beware the MSM detractors, the naive, and the band wagon jumpers in the Celtic support.
Samaras was a much bigger miss and NFL tried and failed to stick with a system by replacing big man with wee man, which suited the cynical clinical Old Lady.
No breaks in open football, and the referee also sided with the seeds, especially in the first half . Neil Lennon will stand by his decisions, and we the core support will roll up on Saturday, and the history will roll on, and on. I hope the Celtic travelling faithful enjoy their holiday in Turin, where at least it won’t be shrouded in controversy, like the last visit.
Hail Hail
Even the gobsh1te commentator said pirlo had been forced to give the ball away half a dozen times – 6 times more often than usual.
Really should go now.
G’night.
I’ve felt a lot worse after better results and robertrressel more or less said what I was going to say, and in a far more eloquent fashion.
I think it was Snoop Dog playing tonight with an Efe mask on!!
sipsini
Struggled a bit after eats earlier, but never gave in, days 2,3,4 are the worst, nearly over day 2, so looking good, and felling better already, tis all in the head mi amigo.
A tad disappointed, but what the hell, it’s been a dream.
HH
Evening all
Just making way home listening to NFL’s confernce. Sounds as gutted as I feel.
Selecting Efe Ambrose seemed to me and those I travelled to the game with a high risk when we heard it and so it proved. We all wouldn’t have Izzy in the team and he had his best game in 21 months. That’s the way it goes
Team played well for about 75 mins – lots of good shots on goal and one or two chances that could have been scored. Understandably heads went down late on . Juve were good but flatter and were helped by a woeful ref.
Life goes on , I hope we are back in a years time.

Don’t think we had a Leader on or Off the Park..
Defo Missed Sammi’s Expirrience against a World Class Team..
If Someone Pushes You push them Back.. Celtic could have Used all the Pushing Etc to their Advantage as Buffoon was Distracted..don’t think we had One Killer pass All Night..
Efe was Probably as Fit as the Rest of the Team.. But Mentally Shattered.. An Inexperience Mistake a Manager should Not make..(The New Guy McGuinness..?)
Probably One of the Best Celtic performances at the Receiving end of a 0-3 Mugging..
Cattenacio.. It’s what they Do..
A Reapeat of the 4-3 over in Turin..:-)
Summa of SamarasCSC
….PFayr, first goal was a one on one punt up the park. No cover from Lustig or Izzy. Efe left it to Wilson. 2nd and 3rd goals both scored on the break as our players pushed on. If we drop off and leave our midfielders to press their midfielders we keep it cagey. I just don’t agree that Pirlo would have picked us off. Pirlo sits in the middle of the park. He would need to play through Wanyama Brown and Mulgrew.
We took a chance it failed and I’m dissapointed.
THE EXILED TIM
Three words come to mind……..
MUGGED, UNLUCKY and CHEATED
Still a Tim though.
What you said, mate!
Can’t remember ever going to bed after a 0-3 at home feeling as proud as I do tonight!
The only thing we were guilty of tonight was inexperience. Something that will always be apparent when Scotland play Italy at football – especially at this level.
Billy Bhoy
sorry folks while we have the spl, we will never make it simple as that, champions league opened for big tv nations to allow
up to 4 four teams to enter from these nations, then we have seeding to further distance smaller countrys, money is the name
of this socalled sport now, you know were money is corruption follows its always been the way of it, boxing went the same way, look at how many versions in that game now,uefa and fifa have allowed it to get to the top level and frankly no one gives a ++++ because to many people are making money, television
wants so called glamour teams on tv all the time and unless you have really exceptional team from smaller nation you have no chance it does not pay enough and that is the truth, you only have to look at the media in scotland driving to get a new club in to the top because apart from their bias they want money and would have got it if it were not for the fans,sorry folks football no longer belongs to the fans it belongs to the cartel
that have now corrupted it beyond repair,i only still watch celtic because its in me and is part of me,but its not as strong as it once was and i dont think its because i am older
its because we participate in a corrupt sport now and the reality has been sinking in for a while now,to be honest what is the point in paying to watch football to make the chosen few
richer? now ask yourself why did they decide to let non champions mainly from the big leagues enter the top tournament
its obvious it was for money,so it stands to reason that they will makesure that these countrys will contest the big finals
by appointing officials who will favour this happening,fans who
turn up in their tens of thousands are really being mugged and
seem eager to comeback for more a really good gravy train and shows no sign of stopping.

Exactly! But if we took out chances…………..we wouldn’t need to rely on the ref? Would we?
I stand by it. We never had our ‘key’ or ‘influential’ players with enough of the ball in dangerous enough positions. Hooper, Forrest? Struggle to think where they hurt them tonight.
Even if we had to rely on erm ‘making sure the officials were sorted’ erm. snort. We didnt do enough to get the win.
Maybe we did?
And thats why we didn’t??
Getting where your coming from……..
When we were 3-0 down at Killie are year+ ago, if you informed the Celtic fans that today they club would be debt free, in the QFs of the CL after having beaten Barca on the way, streets ahead in the league, great young talent coming through, RFC liquidated with more pain coming their way, no-one would have listened to a word you said.
However, here we are today.
We have come a helluva long way and have great optimism for the future of the team.
Keep up the good work you boys in green. Put today down as a learning experience and grow from it.
