  1. Celbridge Celt on

    Toffee…., got taxi away from ground, driver asked her nicely not to come back ;)

     

     

    I was hoping to see 2nd half siege of Killie goal… not even close!?

     

     

    Away to change for a Curry, it better be good!!!

  2. rangers are not my favourite team csc

     

     

     

    17:58 on 27 October, 2012

     

     

     

    I was at the game in Barcelona. At the end I could see the players were physically and probably mentally exhausted.

     

     

    I expected wholsesale changes and an under par performance being a strong possibility.

     

     

     

    Kille, as TTTT said, did to us what we did to Barcelona and worked their socks off against a team not quite able to match them because of their mid week extertions.

     

     

    Kenny Shiels had them well up for a physically hard game and Kille deserved the result.

     

     

    It is always 11 v 11, just as it was in Barcelona.

  3. Joe Filippis Haircut on

    We were pedestrian today up until the last 15 mins or so when you keep the ball you must pass it about with pace and direction both of whitch we didnt have.Up fromt Miku didnt get much service but he looks poor and big Efe was lazy with his passing at times big Victor must have been sitting on the bench thinking this lot need me really badly as our midfield was poor Mulgrew is never a midfielder and Keny Shiels appears to have the measure of Lennie and James Forrest for only 15 mins of real effort in the game in my opinion isnt worth his place.However,I would rather get a wake up call like todays from Killie in the league than in the Champions league.H.H.

  4. Curry on the table right now a think a will wait till it’s scoffed Celbridge b4 a tell her the good news lol ! Enjoy matey ! COYBIG !

  5. That was a terrible terrible performance today – Miku is never a celtic player and dont get me started on James Forrest………..

  6. Back to Basics – Glass Half Full

     

     

    The disparity is about the same.

     

     

    But it really doesn’t tell the whole story imo.

     

     

    The difference between the Killie players and our players are much, much closer than our players and Barca’s players.

     

     

    Barca can spend 30 mill on a player, and when you are spending money like that, you can expect the finished product.

     

     

    Another thing, we are not in debt, Barca are to the tune of 500 or so million, easy enough to buy players for 30 mill when you don’t have to worry about the pennies.

  7. NA 2,

     

     

    In your defence, you chose a fitting username.

     

    You are not completely lost.

  8. TET

     

    There appeared to be a luck of effort and application today … That’s all that concerned me , bad results come and go …. Effort should be constant

  9. KK and others – the performance today was one of the laziest and worst I have ever seen. The support are absolutely within their rights to boo if they like and damn right people shouting unnacceptable – because it was.

     

     

    There are some people who believe the support should just give the club money and never complain – that will be right.

  10. ….PFayr

     

     

    I don’t think it was a lack of effort.

     

     

    I will keep going back to what I believe to be true.

     

     

    When you spend serious millions on a player, they hardly ever let you down, when you get players for free and on loan, or pay about a million, you get what you pay for.

     

     

    That is not a crit of the players, you get what you pay for, and today showed that, unfortunatly most of them had an off day at the same time.

     

     

    Days like today, we missed the drive of Scott Brown, or a Sammi.

     

     

    They are- were as good as they can be on the day.

    27 October, 2012

     

     

     

    Kenny Shiels had them well up for a physically hard game and Kille deserved the result.

     

     

    Shiels is a good manager and seems like a good man too. I like hearing his comments, he’s passionate, knowledgeable and generally bang-on.

     

     

    Prior to kick off he was warming his players up behind the goals, very hands-on. His team responded and were very animated, passionate and physically dominant.

     

    They seemed able to brush Celtic players aside today and had real success pressing the Celt on-the ball.

     

     

    On another day Ledley would have scored Miku’s knock down, Hooper would have converted the near post chance and Watt would have squared to Hooper late on.

     

     

    Overall Kilmarnock thoroughly deserved their win.

  12. Massive European sized hangover from Celtic against a side whose coach has a game plan, that can repeatedly thwart Celtic.

     

     

    However, if you saw that result coming you should take up gambling, if you haven’t already.

     

     

    Not a single Celtic player played well individually, and as a group Celtic were ungrouped, the support sensed a reverse, as early as when Cillian Sheridan rounded the somehow stranded Fraser Foster.

     

     

    A single mistake in the first, and a trip for a penalty in the second was all it took with ten men behind the ball and Celtic’s mysterious lethargy, it was another bad day at the office, for Timdom.

     

     

    Neil Lennon has the right to be able to shuffle his squad, and with the players he had at his disposal this was as Jekyll and Hyde as it gets, in comparison to last week in Paisley, leaving aside the CL.

     

     

    At least there will be no scapegoating because no one graced the Celtic shirt, apart from The Shabby Chapeau for his excellent hospitality, chaffeuring, and saving me from another of eurochamps67’s ear bashings.

     

     

    Hail Hail

    neganon and other boo-boys

     

     

    Today was disappointing of course but I’m not going to complain after the heart and soul we saw on Tues against Barça. In the long term, our European prospects will be far better if we’re playing in a competitive league.

     

     

    Well done to Kilmarnock for a game well played.

    You are right about the treatment Miku was getting from some of our “supporters” was horrible.

     

     

    Not so long ago Samaras was the target for the misguided.

    Seen a few mention in here that so called fans were booing at the end.

     

     

    Despicable if true.

     

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

     

    Heard it on radio. It was very brief. Too much all the same. But Shortbread pounced on it. That said thought it was quite funny that he couldn’t get the words’ boos are ringing around the ground’ out before the booing had stopped. It was the strangest post defeat booing I ever heard.

     

     

    In fcat it was so brief I think we can spell it with one o. Bo………

  16. I had a major distraction today with Sandy due to hit early Monday.

     

    I think my lack of concentration on the game was conveyed to the players.

     

    It seems we need Brown more than we have previously admitted.

     

    The biggest loss today was our pride.

     

    This embarrassment will not stop us winning the SPL, which is priority #1.

     

    It will enable Neil to determine who he can rely on in the CL cauldron.

     

     

    So back to hurricane preparations.

     

    I have a full supply of meds, batteries, food and water.

     

    I’ll go back to clearing the leaves from drainage channels and connecting vital services to the generator: sump pump, fridge, TV and network router.

     

    Hail hail and lots of rain too

    The boos were the type you get following any defeat at Celtic park.

    There’s always Wednesday week for that.

  19. Across the ether the consensus is that it was ” the Barça hangover “. Is that not acceptable? And a result like this is not uncommon at this stage of the season.

     

    Also, the close calls were endless, so it’s not a cause for angst ; it would be if there was a pattern of such results, but there’s not, and entitlement is not ours. Look at where that attitude has taken others.

     

    I listened to the game on shortbread ( for my sins ) and the commentators were practically creaming themselves at the result. That, at least, made me laugh. They could not celebrate a great Killie win, but crow about a Celtic loss. That is the state of things.

  20. Whats worse

     

     

    Walking out en masse with ten minutes left

     

     

    Or

     

     

    Staying to the bitter (cold) end and showing your displeasure

  21. The booing at the end was only brief because 70% of the crowd had left before the 90 mins was up

     

     

    It was never our day today , however I thought we were very lazy

  22. tommytwiststommyturns on

    Obviously unhappy about that unacceptable performance today, but things were very quickly put into perspective after the game today. Crossing the new stretch of road leading up to the Gallowgate and saw two motorcycle cops giving CPR to a guy who collapsed at the wheel of a People Carrier.

     

    Fingers crossed for the guy, it didn’t look good.

    Santa’s got it in hand, he’s got Joe Ledley’s letter…

     

     

     

    Give and go give and go Joe and Mikael must be sick running into that empty space!!!

     

     

    Miku made some decent runs today as well, we passed the ball very poorly today..

  24. Having read back a bit on the blog and now all I can see in my head is an image of Jabba with a poppy where his gob goes.

     

    In another part of my demented cranium I see myself at Celtic Park on Nov.7th. up in Section 108 going mental as Messi gets dispossessed and we score the first of 5.

     

    “You may say I’m a dreamer….”

     

    In Lennon we trust.

     

    KTF.

    Great points, we didn’t play well, Killies effort was far greater than ours, the ref did what they do, giving advantages to us when there was none, but we just didn’t play well, it happens.

     

     

    But some fans need to take a look at how they support the team, booing Celtic after the game midweek, regardless of the result today, people leaving 15minutes early, lots of them.

     

    That is not supporting your team.

     

    Neil Lennon will be hurting more than any of us tonight and I trust him 100% to get the team right for Tuesday.

  26. timbhoy in spain on

    Ah think really at the end of the day we never won every other game when that club were in the SPL so why should we win every game withoot them.

     

    We´re gonna hav off days & efter Barca this seems like a time it´s gonna happen.

     

    And who wants tae win the league before Xmas ?

     

    Let´s huv a wee bit of excitement before we win it or else there´ll be naebdy at Parkheed next season.We´re no like the creams who demand their ” superiority ” & must win everything every time as SIR David says.

     

    We play on an even field & we´re not perfect but we´ll get there.

     

    Up the Celts.

  27. tommytwiststommyturns on

    starry plough – apart from the dreadful passing today, the other notable point was the number of times a forward or attacking midfielder made a run with the player in possession completely oblivious to it! Pitiful stuff.

     

     

    The lack of movement really concerns me too. The coaching team and the players should be forced to sit down and watch a video of Nakamura in action. Pass & move, pass & move….it’s not rocket science FFS!
