    I don’t quite get the ‘Red Bull Fix’. There are many instances of teams with the same sponsor playing each other .In the 80’s and 90’s we shared the same sponsors as the huns, namely CR Smith and McEwans lager. Nowadays there are many teams in British football sponsored by 32Red. I dont think it matters at all .

     

    ————

     

    The difference is that Red Bull are not just sponsors, they are owners.

    Well tonight’s choice was gym or pub! Considering I am a health freak who is trying to get out of morbid obesity the gym woe. A leisurely 500 call chortling at them . Next up The Famous Glasgow Celtic, my wee exercise bike did 3200 calories.

     

    Celtic you nearly killed me, I am fecked. Woooooooohooo.

    I’m absolutely smashed by a brilliant Celtic performance tonight so I’m off now to call ms acgr to wish her a belated happy birthday……….it was technically yesterday but I hope she dismay notice.

     

     

     

    HH Celtic my brothers and sisters.

    Good game.

     

    Superb result.

     

    Brilliant fightback.

     

     

    We played some excellent football.

     

    Looked like a real team with a bit of quality at CB.

     

    OE was simply incredible — reduced RBL to Alamo defending all night from their 2 CBs.

     

     

    We got some luck but we deserved that luck.

     

    Interesting to see how a young RBL team wilted when we put on some pressure.

     

    Plus we have found another quality player in RC — he really brought us up to their standard.

     

     

    Consequently great platform to build from.

     

    Change is needed but at least we played to our potential.

    Am I missing something?… as far as I can work out, Salzburg have not automatically qualified (yet) and for example two 2-0 defeats would see them knocked out on head to head results… so I expect them to be playing for at least a point against Leipzig.

    Great game of football, some young guys and older ones, learned a few things too,Forrest was the catalyst in the first half for me. French Eddie showed a bit more physical than before John Hartson coaches strikers at Livingston, I think he could do wonders with him re hold up play,not a criticism, but he could get even better.

    second yellow card shown to Daniel Candeias in the closing seconds of last Saturday’s match against St Mirren.

     

     

    “Rangers afforded the governing body the opportunity to let common sense prevail and we are surprised they have chosen not to do so by correcting what was, and what remains an inexplicable decision by the match referee, Willie Collum. Rangers shall now seek a fundamental review of the rules relating to red cards which result from two bookings of a player in a game.

     

     

    These bastions of the truth and fair play, must be ready to go on strike again….? …no…….

    BB that can’t be an official statement surely?

     

     

    Feck me their hypocrisy and revisionism is both breath taking and sociopathic!

     

     

    I suppose new enemies are required in order to distract the hordes from their despair. Got to love the level 5 squirrels that get released whenever there is bad news down Basket of Assets Way.

     

     

    Incidentally, where are the same club up to with insisting that the rules be applied in relation to non-disclosed side payments (EBTs) to players by the same club whilst concealing those side payments from the football governing bodies and UK tax authorities?

    GNGB bhoys and ghirls and thank you Celtic for a magical European night, like the good old days!

    Travellerbhoy, not sure if you remember but I was the first one on this page to acknowledge you when you first posted. You were threatening to top yourself and posted that much.

     

     

    It was over the bells five or six years ago. I tried to talk to you and you listened.

     

     

    You did not kill you.

     

     

    We met. You didn’t like me. I didn’t care. I met your boy. he was a good boy. You are his good father. He needs you.

     

     

    Stay alive my travellerbhoy.

     

     

     

    HH brother.

  21. mncelt on

    Just finished watching the game. That’s the hardest working, most disciplined Celtic performance I have ever seen. Not a single average performance out there. Every player was immense. Boyata is just iifferent class. KT and Eddie right up there with him. Sinclair has never worked that hard in his career to date. Very proud of them all. RBL are a Champions League football team.

    Let’s Go! …

     

     

     

    GORDON: 9/10

     

     

    Wearing one of his Fifty Shades Of Grey outfits, the fearless big fetishist bound up our defence and save dour arses being violated (see what I did there, fans of poorly written trash porn for fat housewives?)

     

     

    Bravery personified as he leapt at the feet of thundering juggernaut and managed to hold onto the ball while having his spleen removed.

     

     

    Criticised by those who deserve no pity for occasional distribution flaws – no more than the opposition’s no.1. The keeper’s pass is the most difficult to make, for a non-outfield player unused to judging weight and distance, and to have the whole game in front of you, relying on players to make space and time to receive.

     

     

    The big guy deserved his lucky crossbar after the assured handling and near-human-sacrifice for the cause.

     

     

     

     

    KT : 10/10

     

     

    you are watching a phenomenon. OUR phenomenon. The kid is a fecking Celtic superhero, by order of the Peaky f###ing Blinders , no less. Slashed in his goal like Arthur Shelby dishing out family retribution.

     

     

    KT’s story is the fermented distillation of a million Hooped dreams as penned by Morrison and Miller (see what I did there, knowledgeable graphic novel historians?).

     

     

    He is the living embodiment of the Jungle’s soul. He must never be allowed to leave. If so, legend has it the Brazen Heid will c-crumble to dust and the statue of Caesar weep tears of green blood that will form a rivulet of anguish along the Celtic Way to be visited centuries hence by candle-bearing pilgrims.

     

     

     

    P.C LUSTIG: 8/10

     

     

    ‘His legs have gone!… Again!’ is the perma-cry of the mentally disenfranchised. Stalwart! is the proclamation of the enlightened. consistent perfect positioning, timing, break-ups and support up the wing – Detective Sergeant Cripple used every ounce of his experience to help that defence grind out the win.

     

     

    WRONGLY blamed for the Leipzig goal – watch and see the scorer drift into a centre-back channel, but both ours were ball-watching. Mick had to maintain his cover of the right-back area. Either Dedryck or Benny needed to glance and get touch-tight on the open forward. Neither did, Lustig hesitated, the guy found the space, bang. 1-1.

     

     

    Those still in disagreement need to look at the crossbar-challenge winner moments later – this time Lustig DID go into cover the central space, leaving the right-back position wide open and luck was on our side as Kampl (‘Camp’, snigger…) had space and time.

     

     

    Rock and a hard place for Mick due to centre-half indecision.

     

     

     

    BOYATA: 8/10

     

     

    Best Euro game he’s played. Damn near perfect, for Dedryck, bar the Lustig situations. Totally focussed by the quality of opposition, his tackling and distribution were exactly what we needed to settle after a ropey first ten minutes.

     

     

    Even looked happy at the end. Still, come January, if he’s got a second of doubt about his tenure here, taxi him toot-sweet for big bucks.

     

     

     

    BENKOVIC: 8.5/10

     

     

    And people looked with mild envy as the Huns trumpeted their ‘Croatian U-21 superstar, the future of the national team’ in the close season, while we could only snap up an ‘inexperienced Croatian fringe player’ from Leicester at the last second of the window, on loan.

     

     

    No mention the kid had already been flipped for 13 million bucks. and we’re beginning to see why. Completely at ease with himself despite the frenzy of quality bearing down on him many a time.

     

    The bhoy has the mental strength of a samurai warrior and the composure of f###ing Ghandi.

     

     

    He picks a pass if he can, rather than launch and give up possession; picks a pass even when I’m screaming incoherently about fixing bayonets and digging trenches and shipping in breeze block for the wall across the goals and booting it at the disco lights…

     

     

    If only we could afford him; and if only he realises he gets REAL football up here, REAL euro atmospheres and REAL love from a support.

     

    We could probably have signed him on the pitch at full time judging by his joy, Nobody had the foresight to send BR running on with a pen and a five-year contract; I blame Peter Lawwell and his lightjockey.

     

     

     

    CALMAC: 9/10

     

     

    ‘Silky Broon’ stunned the idiots in our fanbase who doubted his ability to carry the deeper role. Idiots like me, and you who is nodding along…

     

     

    Brilliant distribution and all-round tidiness kept the midfield metronome ticking over, providing the platform to launch our Rogic and Christie cruising missiles at the bewildered German midfield. I don’t think they expected our fluency and possession – especially after the first ten-fifteen minutes which they bossed. But once McGregor found his footing, we actually took a measure of control against a crack Bundesliga outfit.

     

     

    So captivating was the Calmac performance, it took me until half-time to register a confused ‘where the fck’s Ntcham?’

     

     

    Is this now THE niche for McGregor- deep-lying, allowing him more time to use his guile to greater effect?

     

    We now have a wonderful conundrum – Broon MUST play – he gives us a wonderful destructive side; if you want to see the downside of that, reference Mulumbu’s horrorshow… But do we go with Sam Jackson or Calmac deep beside Broon to play the quarterback?

     

     

    If Sam Jackson offski rumours prove true in January, we’ll at least know there’s a good fit to replace him.

     

     

     

    ROGIC: 7/10

     

     

    I thought the big kangaroo was just a pinch off the pace; could have been devastating but was foiled more than once by his feet being a split-second behind his intent. Was an almost night for him; but surprised to see him slog out the 90 and compensate his off-key performance with tireless effort. If he’d been at the races, we could have killed them way before their equaliser.

     

     

    FORREST: 8.5/10

     

     

    The Prestwick Flyer is proving all that faith in him was correct – he’s a bhoy brimming with confidence in his own ability and losing any fear he once had of having a go in the big matches.

     

    Also looked encouragingly mad for it with his Peaky blinders haircut and a demeanour echoing that of a coked-up Liam Gallagher prowling onstage at Milton Keynes circa ’95.

     

     

    Wee mhan’s getting gallus and we’re getting the benefit. Rousing stuff tonight as he tore at them and took and gave a battering alll night down the right. Big mistake to sub him as he is our out-man in situations, our ball-carrier to alleviate pressure. Fck knows what BR was thinking, but I’ll speculate, granted…

     

     

     

    SINCY: 7/10

     

     

    Another nearly-night; him and big Rogic. Though this was a Sincy nearly-night far different from last season’s Sincy nearly-nights when he nearly showed up for the warm-up then hid for the rest of the games like an EBT Hun dressed in a partridge costume at an Inland revenue team-building weekend titled ‘Join The Hunt For The Tax-Thieves With Real Guns Outing’.

     

     

    Nope, this rejuvenated Sincy suffered from unlucky Tom-feet syndrome passed on by our silky Aussie; ball stuck in his feet/took a bad bounce at the most in-opportune moments; he looked confident of roasting them over and over (see what I did there, Sunderland players of the past?…) yet ultimate success escaped him – viz the run through at the keeper and messing up the vital touch round him.

     

     

     

    CHRISTIE 8.5/10

     

     

    Roving son of balladeer Tony ran all the way to Amarillo and back, yet worried me early that he was going to watch the game pass him by.

     

     

    But this bhoy is Stuart Armstrong with steel baws added. He reportedly put on 20 kilos – making him an instant hero in the pub where we gather – but still manages to harass, tackle, pick a pass and make penetrating runs despite his formidable beer belly; surely a future CAMRA special-award winner.

     

     

    Tonight, he proved he is the real-deal; carved them up for the winner with that great gut-busting (popped a few shirt buttons…) run and cool head to pick the perfect cut-back. Showed his mettle by dishing it out in a few telling confrontations; keep on keeping on, Ryan.

     

     

    We may have found this season’s big bonus in our own back yard.

     

     

     

    EDDY MERCURY: 9/10

     

     

    ‘But, but… I jist dinnae see it in him.. whit’s aw the fuss? Ah mean, Kris Boyd scored mair than Larsson, eh? He was pish efter he cut his hair…An Ah knew that Samaras wis shite too…””

     

     

    Said the ubiquitous muppet we all have known somewhere in our Celtic lives; he who demands instant gratification, he of myopic comprehension; the Green Hun who boos the Hoops and scorns those who wear it; Surely a dying art of bawbaggery as new young players like Eddy Mercury quicksilver their way along our front line, tormenting the very best, opening the eyes of the gurning haters?

     

     

    This was a fcking fantastic solo show up against a real litmus test (see what I did there, first-year Chemisrty teachers?).

     

    Showed every inch of the class which commands 9 million from the biscuit tin; great feet, pace, craft, and strength – that first-half run down the left, muscling out three of them before unlucky with the cut to Sincy? Breathless stuff.

     

     

    If anyone deserved a winner in a game of such magnitude it was Eddy, finishing with nonchalance from a distance that would make Alfredo Morelos stick pins in his own scrotum while grinding his teeth to stumps, it was the fitting crown for a prince.

     

    This bhoy brings excitement and class. Play him, look after him, keep him smiling and keep off his back; he’ll be devastating for us.

     

     

     

    SUBS:

     

     

    MULUMBU 4/10

     

     

    Wtf? As if it wasn’t tense enough, BR plays it for laughs and subs our outlet, Jamesy, for a half-fit, off the pace maniac who seemed to do his level best to sabotage a functioning midfield in their favour…

     

     

    Not the best cameo, and a nightmare first five minutes saw him emerge as their most dangerous player.

     

    I guess there has to be one party-pooper and it wasnt the big man’s night; tough to enter such a game of high pace and intensity and be expected to shore it up.

     

     

    Then again, it could have been a manager confident he’d get a result with the other ten, hanging him out to dry and teach a valuable lesson…

     

     

    But one best forgotten for Mulumbu; his match highlight’s reel is just fifteen minutes footage of Edvard Munch’s painting, ‘The Scream’ with strobing every 90 seconds.

     

     

     

    AJER: N/A

     

     

    Replaced Sonic the Hedgehog in the last minute to add an extra defensive dimension. Had no impact to make bar frightening their tired forwards with hiss imperious Praetorian guard-ness presence.

     

     

     

    BR: 8.5/10

     

     

    An absolutely brilliant result to lighten the load on his Euro Cv; but what the actual fck was he playing at subbing Jamesy for the almost-catastrophic Mulumbu? Covered it earlier, but Jee-sus, Br needs to start supplying the support with decent Valium if he plans on pulling that trick again. Or acid.

     

     

    But his man-management did the exact trick required; he asked the players beforehand to show no fear. After shitting themselves for the first five or ten minutes, they clicked in like well-trained dugs on command and delivered a damn near-perfect performance as you’ll see from a Scottish team in Europe.

     

     

    The manager did his job really well; showing his own class much like he did when manipulating the comeback situation at Mordor for the 3-2 with ten men back in April. Leipzig looked ill at ease with our tactics as we played around their diamond but still forced players in its midst to break up their momentum; BR wins prize for that one.

     

     

     

    OVERALL: 9.5/10

     

     

    Can we have asked for better? Fck, yes; Could have buried them before they got back.

     

    But that was great. Did we almost blow it? Course we did. Is that not part of the ride? Course it is. Luck earned, luck ridden, game won, famously so. A fantastic new euro memory for the legions.

     

     

    Now we need those players to take that belief through the rest of the season, cause carnage across the Scottish game and put the creepy SPL Stevie-boy love-in to bed (see what I did there, Jim Traynor; your wham-bam, succulent lamb fantasies combined in one succinct quip).

     

     

    Go to Livi on Sunday, treat them like Leipzig, smash them for half a dozen and enter the international break on fire.

     

     

    No pish, Hun trumpets; Celtic pumped a top-notch Bundesliga outfit (best current form in Germany over last 10 matches). Now you have two months to explore every nightmare scenario that will befall you at Mordor on the 29th December.

     

     

    Fresh from Halloween, Huns, look not amidst the plentiful pinheads among you, but look to the one true Pinhead for prophecy. He, lead Cenobite drawn by your Hellraising sorcery, has the promise on his lips: Celtic will tear. your. soul. apart.

    Watched the new Celtic Park illuminations and then the hoops light up paradise. Nights like this I wish I was home. Even nega enjoyed it. Glasgow is green and white. Hail Hail.

    I am buying 2 4 x 4 ford Rangers, and the supervisor called me yesterday and said the Rangers are coming for us to look at…….. I think you all know my response…..

     

    The Rangers are not coming, I said, we have been hearing this for ages….

     

    The supervisor being a sevcoite did not realise at first what I meant ? but took it in good spirit.

    Can’t get the smile of my face today.

     

     

    That’s the best home game in Europe for years. Leipzig are a right good team and I actually thought they were better than the first leg. They also got the break of the ball an inordinate amount of times.

     

     

    Everyone played a part last night and for myself, I thought James Forrest was excellent.

     

     

    fleagle1888, I just had a look at the table and you’re right, Salzburg are not through yet. That could make a massive difference. If they beat Leipzig and we beat Rosenberg, then we’ll only need a draw against Salzburg.

     

    Of course that would still be a tough achievement.

     

     

    For now, I’ll just enjoy the moment.
