Murphy dive from Bonfigli on Huddleboard
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Zmfj1rOuiAA
When you watch those clips, observe the Motherwell number eight (can’t be bothered trying to remember the guy’s name, but his coupon his familiar from fraternising with Sevco players while getting gubbed by the fourth-tier minnows in some cup competition).
Murphy goes down and his eyes follow the ball. When he realises Maclean has mibbed for a penalty, he reacts with surprised delight.
You can hear as well as see when there is contact. He knew there was none.
Tony Stokes may make a difference. It will be interesting to see if he has the manager’s confidence now that Hooper, Sammi, Watt and Lassad are ahead of him.
I worry that we expect too much of returning players. Their weaknesses become diminished and their strengths exaggerated during their absence.
I’m struggling to think of a single game this season where a mib has refereed us in a fair manner. Their bias is more blatent than ever.
We are on the ball today. BGFC gets 3 replies within 5 minutes to request for penalty footage.
I guess we are all hanging around waiting for Paul’s match report?
Have we signed anybody yet?

your post is bang on
looking back to the 9 in a row ,lisbon era,it was great to
see the hurt among the msm as we trampled all over thier
heroes
we didnt have the internet to combat the drivel from the msm
like we have now
i never thaught i would see these days repeated but with a bit
of luck and good health i could see these great memories
surpassed
Jeezzo – just watched that again. Dramatic dive from Murphy as Wilson pulled his own leg back out of the tackle. But the booking for FF was worse – is not as if he was up trying to psych out the penalty taker – just a couple of steps off the line pointing out that the ball was very clearly not on the spot. Ref will get top marks from the Supervisor for that one. Wonder of Craigan will be making sure that Vincent Lunny looks at Celtic’s ill-disciplined behavious trying to undermine the officials.
Oh – aye – Charlie’s booking too – shocker!
BGFC
I would like to see Lassad get a run of games with Hooper he looks like the intelligent kind of front player than Gary could profit from, Hoops needs a partner I think that’s obvious from this season stats and goals scored.
Never mind the penalty ball on/off spot issue but what about Lasley picking up the ball when advantage had been given and then getting the free kick. Should have been a free kick to us.
CF
Motherwell number 8 is Henrik Ojamaa.
Don’t know if he has Sevconian tendencies but he used to play for Rangers….. Stafford Rangers
Jeezzo again – two typos – shockerooni – not even drinking.

Seen it a few times now – looks like Kelvin read Murphy’s intent and deliberately pulls his leg back (bit theatrically) to draw attention to the fact that he didn’t touch him.
Problem is – you need to see it from the blind-side to see if any contact was made. If there was – it couldn’t have been more that a brushing together of legs – certainly not sufficient to cause a player to upend an opponent in the way Murphy went down.
Delighted we won today, had to listen to it on Shortbread and they were hurtin big time, which of course makes the win much much better,
Think we will win the league and the league Cup,
Anything (hopefully) can happen in the Champions league but too my mind we’ve already exceeded what I thought possible at the outset,
Definitely do not fancy us for the domestic treble,
The reason sticks out like a sore thumb, way too inconsistent,
To win the treble you have to be consistently consistent, and that’s not us this season I’m afraid,
Still as long as we win the SPL I’ll be more than happy,
Who cares about the league cup and we have already exceeded expectation in the CL.
setting free the bears
I wouldn’t expect that Stokes will get an automatic place but its a good headache for Lenny to have. The more attacking and natural goal scorers to choose from the better. We will have played much more games than a normal season so options are good.
Hail Hail
Evening all.
How I wish Celtic/the SPL could integrate South American playmakers into our game. FC Porto, Benfica and others are more fortunate in that they play in a league which encourages skillful players. Our referees fail to protect our talented figures. It is a shame that Miku is the latest example of a South American toiling in our league. He clearly has talent.
How I also wish that a creative type could create a Celtic chant using Dylan’s ‘Walking down the line’. I would be even happier if they could include “Celtic Park” in the song. The melody seems ideal for a Celtic chant!
‘gg- Jeez, what a dive, cheating wee scrote Jamie Murphy who despite what the Laptop Loyal have been saying for 2 years is NOT joining TheRangers.
praecepta
I agree with what you say now that i have seen the video evidence. The fella in front of me today was adamant that it was not a pen. when I thought Kelvin had made a rash swipe.
But, as I explained earlier, I was a long way from the incident and my eyesight is not the most reliable. I am happy to take back my cussing of big Kelvin, who otherwise played well.
Listened to the radio on the way back and it was Gary Parker doing the after-match interview- not sure if the penalty award was raised as an issue but the great save was.

You provide the lyrics and we will sing the song!!
I thought we were very good in the first half today and played some excellent stuff. I stand by that comment and am sober (at the moment )

Thanks lads for the clips of Gary’s goal and the Fraser’s brilliant save. Radio Scotland don’t broadcast on the Worldwide web due to contractual reasons, still a mystery to me why that is so.
Another hard earned home victory but steadily now beginning to pull away from the pack and a nice send off for the squad for the winter break in sunny south of Spain.
Enjoyed watching a re-run of the Barcelona game last night and Celtic’s performance without incurring one yellow card against the brilliant Spaniards must rank as the sporting achievement of 2012. I’m still puzzled by the 4 minutes extra time played in this game. Happy, healthy and successful New Year to all CQNers.

I wish I had the skill to write. Do you know the song? It isn’t an essential Dylan song but the melody could go well with some Celtic lyrics. I mentioned ‘Celtic Park’ as I never like the stadium being called ‘Parkhead’!
I think the fact Gary Parker did the post match interview on Shortbread instead of Neil tells its own story.
Neil would have probably ended up with a season long ban considering just how blatant Steven McLean was today. Nice to know he’ll be hurting tonight, knowing that his scandalous decision more or less was the catalyst for our victory today! :D
Not long home.
A home match from a very familiar season Celtic pressing from the opening, but unable to score.
Visitors gaining a second wind and like most SPL clubs a fair chance of goals against on the break.The longer the game goes the more prominent the ‘referee’ becomes and the sequence is now a routine Calum Murray Willie Collum Euan Norris and now McLean love it when it’s 0-0 at Celtic Park, and you can almost stretch out and touch, the oncoming controversy.
I haven’t seen a replay yet don’t really need to because there were dreadful decisions throughout the game, and McLean *with previous* will no doubt be commended for his bravery and ‘stonewall’ will be used, as he gains points from the SFA as a grade one, anti.
Fortunately Celtic have a stonewall, in Fraser Forster who made an astonishing save, and Celtic tore up the script with a fine Sammi assist and a tidy Hooper finish.
Three points will do me.
They are struggling to conceal their hatred of all things Celtic ….. Makes it all the better when we GIRUT, like today ….. Best way to win ……
Hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha
Meant to say, that was another WONDERFUL save from FRASER…….respect, big man

Celtic 4 fouls and 4 bookings, will that average be matched again this year?

Referee was a disgrace today. At one point in the second half, he responded to the crowd pointing out that a Motherwell ‘player’ had returned to the field from behind the goal, sending him back to come on at the halfway line. So the fans had told him the rules!
Thought the Bhoys started really well and, in the end, thoroughly deserved to win. We knew it was a dive and we sit miles away.
We need a chant to come across loud and clear on tv when referees cheat… They can’t send. Us to the stand!
Hail Hail!
Are Celtic contractually obliged to give post match interviews – and to who – could we not hire a press savvy individual to do the interviews so no coaching staff would ever suffer a dugout ban again
THE WALL, THE WALL.
He answers every call.
Cheer THE WALL.. Cheer THE WALL.
THE WALL, THE WALL,
He’s ‘Six feet, seven’ tall.
Cheer THE WALL, Cheer THE WALL, Cheer THE WALL.
God Bless you, Big Fraser.
You are already creating a spot for yourself among Celtic’s greatest ever custodians.
Thank you.
hankray – You get the BBC commentary by going onto the BBC Sport Scotland website,football.
It isn’t available on BBC Radio Scotland’s website as you say.
I know this doesn’t make sense,but nothing they do seems to make sense.
Murphy appears to take off in order to hurdle a leg from Wilson. Only problem is, by the time he takes off, the leg isn’t there!
The whole pantomime surrounding the penalty, the ref refusing to make sure the ball is properly spotted and the two yellow cards for Vic and Fraser trying to bring it to his attention would be funny if it didn’t have such serious anti- Celtic intent.
It is among the very worst examples of a referee deliberately cheating to disadvantage Celtic that I have ever seen

What a game today…. in the 1st 15 mins Sammi was completely on fire, time and again leaving the Murderwell right back floundering – we could have been 3 up early on, and should of at least had the lead. That’s be typical of this season, but we kept going well enough.
As the second half wore on, Murderwell came into it a lot more, backed up by an obviously biased 12th man – one of the worst refereeing performances I’ve seen, culminating in the farcical award of a penalty.
And thats when this game became special – Fraser Forsters wonderful save brought the whole crowd to life, and minutes later the turnaround was complete with a slick break and trademark Hoops finish, wildly celebrated in the crowd.
A triumph in adversity.
Full Time, 1-0, Happy Days :-)
Bizarre as this may seem I think the MIB gave the penalty for Vic’s “tackle”, hence the booking.
Bournesouprecipe: Like you I’m happy that his bias was the catalyst for Celtic to score.

I am familiar with the song – the man was simply sensational!
You should post on the GB forum,
There is often discussions for new songs.
