The Kano Foundation kids were singing during the first 30 minutes. Not very loudly, admittedly, but I was at the opposite end of the stadium.

I heard them and I too sit at the opposite end. Bless them.

I stayed in the park today and only left after the players completed their walk about following the game , the big greek dumpling of a striker was the last Celtic player to come off the pitch , he could hardly walk , totally unfit/knackered , why he was allowed to take the pen even if he is the designated taker beggars believe , totally unprofessional by all concerned.

Ernie,
It’s Halloween not a Back to the future retrofest.

Why do we insist in playing Ralston at RB ,when we have an international player in that position.
Ralston is a trier but a terrible crosser of a ball .
Play Our Croatian in his correct position ,if he had the opportunity today that Ralston had we would had won.
Saint Stivs on
weeping and gnashing of teefs , some are not taking it well that we drop two points,
for the first half i was in the LL next to the kano bunch.
the physicality of livvy, very disciplined denial of spaces, the marshalling of their number 5 on GG, my one real criticism was too much touches on the wings, before getting crosses in, allowing the whole livvy set up to co-ordinate, they did it very well,
we must have put 10 crosses from either side into the box, not a one got to a celtic player, none.
what happened to our one touch moves, and pick outs of players.
the game management of madden will be highlighted at the next ref conference as the way to control celtic, give an advantage when nothing is on, pull back play for a fould when there is, allow livvy number 5 any amount of pulls , pushes, shirt grabs and sly grabs
2nd half , to follow
lets all do the huddle on
if he had the opportunity today that Ralston had we would had won.

have to say that Ralston especially in the first half played several decent crosses into the box but our (no 7) striker has no positional sense or quality of movement to judge the fight of the ball , to only stand in the position he is in imitating a tree trunk routed to the spot.
On the way to the game the Jr Onlookers informed me of the planned 30 minute silent protest.
I thought it was a stupid idea.
For years we hear managers of visiting teams say how they
will “try to keep it tight for 15 minutes “…
” take the home crowd out of the game”
I agree with the Green Brigade banner….
however not singing for first 30 minutes harms only Celtic.
Poorly thought out strategy.
Which matched the poorly thought out strategy on the park.

Gerrybhoy, don’t know how you can say that. He should obviously have been on from the start today. Ange knocked the confidence out of him a bit today but all he’s missing from his game is taking the next man on after destroying the last.
Saint Stivs on
and the judges votes are now in –
the results for todays escaped goats are –
Ange – for being australian and picking the wrong team.
GG – for being Greek (some of those posts were borderline racist)
Callum – for not being Scott Brown.
mmccartney on
Lots of good points by most of the posters, I agree the slow build up played right into Livi’s hands. The very odd time Livi left themselves open and we broke forward our ball control let us down at vital times.
Ange has got to work out how to breach the defence of teams that park the bus as Livi have shown other teams how to frustrate us and steal a point.
As for those on here criticising the team and manager, I’ve always thought that the time to judge will be around this time next season. Keep the faith there’s a hell of a lot of football to be played before next May.
As for the Green Brigade all I would say is teams that come to Celtic Park like to dig in for the first 30 mins of a game you just played into Livi’s hands today. Do you think the board gave a damn about your protest, I don’t think so. I think this board has got lots of faults and show a distinct lack of respect to the fans but who they appoint as their chief of security isn’t of much interest to me. Its nearly always an x-cop and lets face it not many of them have ever shown much respect towards the Celtic support over years.
Saint Stivs on
scape goats – grren brigade for not singing,
as an aside, the police prescence across glasgow , not scottish police and in rented vans was incredible today
there is going to be trouble for sure.
lets all do the huddle on
didnt see the point in the silent protest
but that didnt mean everyone else had to join in as well
you can make your own decision whether to sing or not
but the GBs banner was 100% right.
he should not be allowed anywhere near our club
lets all do the huddle on
Callum – for not being Scott Brown.

Never mind the GB’s 30 minute silence for one game.
What about the rest of the crowd’s 90 minute silence which has been going on for two decades?
Saint Stivs on
the boos said GG is the penalty taker, if callum heard that in the dressing room why would he choose different ?
GG 9/10 penalties scored.
An Dún on
I’m not going to single out any player for criticism today. I thought what we seen was a systematic failure against Livi – again ! When it’s systematic then the fault lies solely with the gaffer.
Sionnaigh on
The day the Green Brigade like a Head Of Security is the day we should worry. They’ve done the Irish rebel song list from the 1980’s onwards to death. Some of their other selections are just crass especially with the add ons. “Roamin In The Gloamin” ffs. Seem determined to sink as low as der hun.

as I said earlier GG was on on his feet , he didn’t have the energy to even take a run up never mind take the bl**dy thing.

One point from six against Livingston ffs. What a chance that was today. Cant believe what that masochist Ange did today.
We’ve played 12 games and our longest winning run is 3 games, not good enough. We’ll be four points behind tomorrow and negotiated some tricky away ties so October has been ok but we need a run of wins.
We also need to buy a second Rogic type in January because in Tam’s absence we’ve no one to break the first line of the low block.
SS, I think you’ll find GG was nominated penalty taker by our numpty Ange. Imagine nominating GG, Four penalties missed from the last ten ffs. GG couldnt have scored in a brothel today yet still he stepped up to confound everyones misery to a new low.
Saint Stivs on
Looks as if this pic is taken from the boards seats.
SS, don’t know where you get your stats from but if BBC Sportsound are a more credible source than yours, GG’s missed four from the last ten in competitive matches.
Agree their choir master needs some new lessons on Celtic songs
