  1. Strangely stoical after that, team played well for most of the game, if one of Commons’ shots had gone in it would have been very different.

     

    Ref was a joke and playing Ambrose was the wrong decision at that level. Missed the big Tottie and leek too!

     

     

    Onwards and upwards as they say, great learning curve for the bhoys and some much needed status accrued in Europe once again.

     

    Add to that the money which we have garnered for our efforts and with the league in the bag, the future is definitely Green and White.

    Agree so much. Gifted my ticket to my nephew and I’m moving to Adelaide in 2 weeks so no more season ticket and no more champions league for me.

     

     

    Would still have loved to have been there despite the score. And no way would I have left before the final whistle.

    TET,

     

     

    Stick with it bud. Get over the 3 day jump and you’ve done it. If you’re having some vino and still resisting then you’re 90% there.

     

     

    TGSC,

     

    Sailing on….

    Problem is, our stars are not as good as their stars, so it’s really a no contest, our stars have to be playing better than they normally do, and their stars need to be playing worse than they normally do, just to make things even.

     

     

    —————————–

     

     

    Thats the difference between 20k and 80k a week. Its not a reflection of our players, just a reflection of economics (rightly or wrongly).

     

     

    We played well and for 30 mins in the forst half if we had 80k a week players (or if our 20k a week players slightly over performed we would have taken this game by the b@lls as it were.

     

     

    Proud of the team and cant really fault them.

     

     

    Its just economics mate…………………………………….

  5. A bit surprised by the praise for juventus on here, they were cynical because the ref gave them the favours that allowed them to be, if we are given a pen and score to equalise then they aint so cocky, also the ref gave us nothing, for example the foul on izzy 25 yards out,and broke up play plenty times when not necessary, I hope they get pumped in the next round, cheating rats

    That will be hard on you – good luck with your move, and make the best of supporting the world famous Glasgow Celtic in Adelaide

    Well no gripes from me tonight .

     

    Thought our young team played some great football and on another night would have taken something from that game .

     

    Some may say that juve played well tactically but I saw a team giving away simple possession in most areas of the pitch and a team that struggled at times to even get out of their half .

     

    The early goal allowed them of course to sit in and defend what they had but even then I expected them to pass the ball about the back and control the tempo .I did not see that because IMO our young team gave it their all .

     

    Not one of them let ME down and for that I applaud them .

     

    As for the spineless git in the middle ,words just fail me .

     

    HAIL HAIL KTF

    The ref had done his homework on Charlie Mulgrew. That’s why the blatant foul on Izzy wasn’t given.

  9. Goodnight CQN World.

     

     

    need to go for some jerked chicken

     

     

    Hail Hail, and get behind the bhoys in our next game

  10. If we had a game tomorrow

     

    most of us would put out the same team as Lenny did tonight

     

    (with the obvious availability options)

     

    Sometimes Life is cruel

     

    Sometimes Football is cruel

     

    We are hurting tonight

     

    but

     

    sometime tomorrow we will remember who we are

     

    and the wee bounce in the step will return.

     

    And we might say

     

    3-0 and pens

     

    or

     

    4-1

     

     

     

    Why not

     

    I wouldn’t put anything past this club

  11. No way was there three goals in that, Juve were ruthless though when they had to be.

     

     

    Hate to say it but Neil boobed big time playing Ambrose. Clearly not up to speed and that header and his role in the first and third goals sunk us.

     

     

    Ref didn’t have a clue at the corners, how the eff did Juve get away with that time and again? And we get players booked for getting held in the box??

     

     

    A sore one to take, I agree with Neil that between the 1rst and 2nd we were by far the better side. But at this level if you don’t take your chances you’ll get punished. A tough learning experience for this side.

    Im just back. We should have scored tonight then it’s maybe a different story. Next season we might repeat this seasons highs as it’s been fantastic. I’m gutted but I am very proud of our young team and look forward to cheering them on this Saturday. GB brill Penny Smith image btw!! HH.

  13. It might be worth putting a few quid on Juventus winning the CL.

     

     

    How many times have we been beaten by the team that’s went on to win a Euro tournament recently?

     

     

    AC Milan

     

    Barcelona

     

    Athletico Madrid

     

    Hamburg

     

    Juventus ?????

  14. Biggest disappointment all the so called fans

     

    who left when Juve scored the third………..feck off

     

    and don’t come back…….. oh that’s right you’re no

     

    usually there any way.

  15. ….pfayr.

     

     

    Just Celtic men giving their opinions…

     

    it’s allowed, we’re all disappointed with the result.

     

    It’s only half time remember kilmarnock?

     

    How the wheel turns.

     

    I no I’ll go into work an the huns will have a go at me…no prob…when you play against the best in your level you accept defeat… as thems have found out;-))

  16. Just back in from the game,enjoyed it,disappointed yes,that’s life at my age seen it all before.We now need to go and quickly win the the SPL and then the Cup and Neil’s priority is to get us ready to do it all again next season.Off to have my last beer before Lent starts.

     

    Hail Hail.

    I’ll take the 1-4 A’s we’ve struggled a bit with penalties recently.

  18. What is Mikael Lustig’s problem that he hardly ever finishes games he starts and misses a lot of games as well. Just watched Lenny’s interview on Sky when he is asked about picking Ambrose being a gamble he said he didn’t have much choice as Lustig can’t finish games.

    Cheers mi amigo, the vino is going down good, and tastes better than it did a few days ago >}

    Aye, it’s all about the money.

     

     

    Am proud of the bhoys, been a good ride, and a good learning curve for the coaching staff, we will emerge stronger for it.

  20. We lost this game to a couple of errors that were committed by a player who has been immense against other teams but tonight was out of his depth. Not because of abiltiy but because of his tiredness. Neil took a gamble and it didnt pay off,lesson learned.

     

     

    What I am really peeved about is the lack of professionalism show by the joke of a ref and by a Juventus team who are managed by someone who if he had a ounce of credibility to his name would not let his players play act their way through a game they were not in for long spells. And dont tell me that`s football, if I was playinng against that prick who was marking Hooper in the box he would have went down for a reason, utterly disgusting behaviour from so called professionals, the champions league is a fecking joke.

  21. Jut one thing before I’m out of here

     

    Could the mineshafters take it easy tonight

     

    things are fragile with lots of people

     

    If you’re a Tim

     

    act like a Tim

  22. an old tim pal of mine, an italian modern languages teacher, loved all things italian.

     

    he spoke the lingo had a house which went to at every opportunity and when retired moved there.

     

    He told me the thing is ,they are inherently corrupt…….its what they do!

     

    How his words ring true tonight.

     

    anywho…….i had a ticket, was there and shouted myself hoarse roarin’ on the bhoys!

     

     

    ps

     

    did anyone see hooper take a forearm smash in the penalty box during the first half………or was it just me?

  23. Very proud of our teams performances in this seasons champions league fixtures , fell short in the end to a very good team who for some strange reason still feel the need to cheat .

     

    Referee and the other officials were shocking , questions need to be asked after their performance tonight.

     

    As I said , proud of what Neil and the Bhoys have achieved so far this season and remember it could be worse .

     

    Your team could be dead and you could be trying to convince yourself that a very poor tribute act is the real thing .

     

    God Bless Celtic and our Supporters.

  24. Evening Gents

     

     

    Kick in the stones tonight but we have plenty to be proud of, and many of our players will have learned from the ruthless Juve.

     

     

    If it makes you feel better to lash out at players, tactics etc so be it but just remember we all make mistakes.

     

     

    I am still proud of our squad and our manager for this euro run – if you want to slate them do us all a favour and feck off

  25. However.

     

     

    Before we all go atomic at Efe.

     

     

    He just played 2 weeks in very hot and humind Africa. In what were physically and mentally taxing games.

     

     

    He flew feck knows how many thousand miles.

     

     

    This took feck knows how many hours.

     

     

    He missed feck knows how many parties and hookers (el presidente???) after winning a major cup for his country. Would i have missed the aforementioned parties and hookers. Maybe not?

     

     

    He turned up

     

     

    He never shirked a tackle

     

     

    He gave his all

     

     

    He fought

     

     

    HE made me proud to be a tim.

     

     

    After i thought about it.

     

     

    He isnt a tim

     

     

    YET

     

     

    Hail hail efe dont get too hard on him.
