  1. how about the punch on hatate – commentators saw it , slo mo showed it , why didn’t VAR act – it was a clear fore arm smash – Lagerbielke got red for less!

  2. PeterLatchfordsBelly on

    Can’t blame the ref for that. I’d be delighted if we were reffed to that standard every week. My in,y gripe,was the unfair booking for Phillips right on half time.

  3. we are too soft – at half time the Lazio players arena the ref complaining about kicks and pulls. Celtic are too fkn nice – we need to be own ref faces and learn the dark arts of this game. Mcgregor is a great captain but sometimes he need to be more at it with the refs!

  4. Gutted. Sucker punched per usual in Europe. We were the better team but lacked that cutting edge.. Perhaps should have signed a quality non project striker in the sumner.To help Kyogo.

     

    I did not think the subs improved us . All round so much to be positive about . But gutted. . Why do we do this every flippin’ season !!!!!

     

    Defeat from the jaws of points.

  5. I think we should give Bernardo a game in the league. I think there’s a player there but all players need time to get up to speed. Scales is a case in point – no world beater but has improved dimple because he us used to the pace now. Even big CCV needs that.

  6. Up like a bird on

    the bottom line is at this level we are not good enough , the best in Scotland win the league and take the prize money for qualifying for CL, rinse and repeat.

     

     

    Weve never had a settled defence for the last 5 seasons in Europe.

     

     

    we need a bit of the rub of the green in that department and i dont think its too far off

  7. Fine margins. Promising signs that we’re getting closer to a champions league team and then we show why we aren’t yet.

     

     

    Just like us to look comfortable at the back then have our best defender come on and make the big mistake

  8. 67 European Cup Winners on

    Last post before bedtime

     

    The reason Oh is not good enough

     

    About 85 mins in the ball is in Lazio 6 yard box 2 celtic players Oh and Palm looking to get onto the ball

     

    Oh barges into the back the Lazio defender

     

    Free kick pressure off

     

    Really poor from oh

     

    School boy mistake

     

    Just not good enough at this level

  9. Ccv booted on the forehead yellow card we got 2 sent off in Holland for less the VAR was a Spaniard how come with a Spanish team in our group?

  10. we are far too many mamby pamby at this level and not cute enough , to survive we have to play them at their own game as MoR said when the guy kicks him in the face and the ref does nothing because he stays on his feet and didn’t go down squealing he got nothing , sad to say but that’s the way it is.

  11. People saying we’re not good enough and can’t or won’t be.

     

     

    That’s bull.

     

     

    We were the better team. A draw would have been harsh on us.

     

     

    We do need to cut out the mistakes, and we never seem to have the luck in Europe.

     

     

    The injury crisis hasn’t helped but the real issue is whoever pulls the trigger on recruitment.

     

     

    We were a couple of signings away from being a good team in Europe, we lost a few and in Jota a stand out. So rather than 3 good players we should have brought in 4. But we ended up with what, double figures, but nobody materially improving the first 11.

  12. If a Lazio player makes that mistake, we don’t get the chance to work the ball out wide for the cross because they foul us.

  13. The returnof weeron on

    We tend to get inexperienced refs in the CL. God forbid that a ‘big’ country complains. So they know the score.

     

     

    That said, at no point in the game did I think we would lose. If anything, we were too timid, looking for the safe pass, not looking to create chances.

     

     

    Oh well…..

  14. The Battered Bunnet on

    Celtic in Europe these past number of years remind me of Tom McKean running the 800m.

  15. Hope we can get third. I think we’d be capable of getting a couple of wins in the EL. Probably more our level

  16. fourstonecoppi on

    Aye the old sucker punch, especially after 65% possession apparently

     

     

    Any way just to mention i’m sick of the racist homophobic morons that sit behind us in the JS stand………

     

    They really are a blight on society and totally embarrass the hoops!

  17. We held our own for 95 mins , could have won it but a draw probably would have been fair . We just can’t catch a break in the champions league , we don’t get decisions that the opponents get , ultimately it’s down to our error that cost us the draw .

     

    Over the two games our performance has improved on previous showings , but as before no points on the table .

     

    As they say it’s the hope that kills you …

     

    Onwards to Saturday , up the Hoops

  18. Played really well, a draw would have been disappointing but the manner of the loss is heartbreaking.

     

     

    This is the game I thought we had to win, there are 4 games to play so not giving up but we need a minor miracle at this stage.

  19. Totally agree …the league is the only real show in town…it is really simple …in the league we are in and the money available ..we simply can’t compete at this level ..it’s like a corner shop trying to compete with a superstore.. and that is being kind …honesty is the best policy Celtic ..let the players relax now and enjoy what’s left of the champions league experience ..and concentrate on the double ..leave delusion to the Govan Gullibles

  20. The 2 qualities we have never had at European level for years,is belief and composure, when playing teams with much vaunted names,but with much inferior players from their heyday, we freeze.A better showing in 2nd half ,without making many chances,Lazio were there for the taking

  21. CELTIC

     

     

    CELTIC

     

     

    It looks unlikely, especially with the preferred Countries/Teams.

     

     

    This Celtic Team is Looking Good. That was a cracking performance this night, even though the result wisnae whit we Wanted.

  22. What goes around comes around. Battle for third place is still on.

     

    Maeda should have been hooked well before his deftly touch and Nat Phillips looked comfortable enough to stay on. Scales having grown into the game nullified the gamble bringing on a rusty CCV. Made no sense with 20 mins to go.

  23. Bhoy From The Boyne on

    Been watching these CL mistakes for 20+ years. It’s not a case of simply cutting them out.

     

     

    Rather they happen because our players cannot sustain the level of concentration needed for entire CL games.

     

     

    Combination of our domestic competition (or lack of) and quality of our players.

     

     

    I hope our results and co-efficient will improve in the years ahead as the European competitions format changes and we play more european games to counteract a poor domestic league that makes Celtic ill prepared for CL competition.

     

     

    But who knows…..a lack of first team ready and experienced recruits this summer has also contributed to this seasons readiness.

  24. Let’s take tonight out on McInness and Kilmasonic at the weekend Celts and show them all who really are THE PEOPLE in Scotland 🍀💚

  25. Callum, IMHO, was MOTM,he was Always there for the pass @ the Highest level.

     

     

    We had a free week and it was really appreciated for Dudes like Cal although you cannae Win Everything.

     

     

    Theres a song in there somewhere!!!!

     

     

    ScottishXavi.CSC

  26. yes, the board push the boat out financially to lure brendan back to the club. Their ambition is win the league pocket the money – THAT.IS.IT!!

     

     

    He is already frustrated – Yang Maeda and Hatate all lacked composure and class out there tonight. running the ball out of play, standing on the ball and tripping up all over the place. Keep projects for Scottish games. Forrest and Palma should have started!

     

     

    Lawell should get onto UEFA and ask about the consistent decision against us and the ones VAR seems to miss – its beyond belief. Yes punters can argue individual mistakes and take it on the chin – this has been going on for decades.

     

     

    UEFA hates us because of Dallas, the green brigade fcuk Uefa banner or hunfiltrated – its corrupt and I’m a rational bhoy

  27. Back to Basics - Glass Half Full on

    Thank you Bognorbhoy for earlier advice on where to watch the game.

     

     

    Bar was jumpin’.

     

     

    Enjoyable 99% of evening.

     

     

    Am usually fairly sanguine in defeat.

     

     

    Might be an age thing.

     

     

    Not tonight.

     

     

    That was a real kick in the teeth.

     

     

    If we’d had everyone fit from season kick off I’m convinced we win that game.

     

     

    Hey ho.

     

     

    I see the “process my grief by promulgating my own unrelated agenda” has just started …

     

     

    … so I’ll say goodnight.

    —————

     

    Are we forgetting that Hugh (impartial) Dallas is a very high up official in UEFA? I’ve thought for the majority of our European games we’ve had very bad officials and/or dodgy officiating.

     

     

    May not be a thing, but can’t rule it out either.

     

     

    😳🤷🏼‍♂️

  29. Funny how we see team/players differently……thought camlac played really well Scales was there biggest threat in the first half but a lot better in the second…..overall i thought Celtic played well.

  30. corruption thats what europe is disgusting sooner we are out the better call it for what it is the corrupt league.

  31. Just back from the game. Very few failures for me, Yang and Reo bit ropey at times and one Scales pass gave made my heart skip a beat but overall proud of the players.

     

     

    How they kept 11 men on the pitch I do not know but still feels like we only have ourselves to blame though fine margins and all that.
