  1. I’ll be shocked if they aren’t on their knees by Christmas trying to cope with European and domestic games for the first time.

     

    They are in for a shock if they thought the ref was a homer today. Morelos and Lafferty will get hammered by the refs in the EL.

    Not sure if youre post is tongue in cheek or you’ve been sinking too many pints, bottom six?

     

    Total nonsense, but would be funny :D

  4. Dirty, manky, cheatin, hyped up huns put back in their box today.

     

    Only regret was that it should have been 7 or 8 nothing for Celtic

     

    1-0 was magic though.

     

    Stevie Gee will be away by Christmas.

     

    His team are shite.

     

    First I watched them this season.

     

    Don’t Believe the Hype.

  5. Pleased Nt’cham showed no residual negativity to the Moussa situation.

     

    He has potential world class talent and ice in his veins.

     

    They could pack their midfield with as many journeymen as they want but Ollie is a few levels above them.

     

    If Mulumba gets game time and shoulders more of the defensive responsibilities then we will really see how good Ollie is in a slightly more forward role.

  6. SANDMAN DEFINITIVE GLASGOW SOCCER DERBY APPRAISALS:

     

     

    “Did Sandman not tell us in early August that after a detailed scouting session in a Gran Canaria bar watching the Huns at the Sheep, that they were marginally better than last season and not the tour de force harlem globetrotters-esque colection of silky swashbuckling mavericks led by Slippy G, the Scouse gangster’s piggy-bank biatch that the SMSM ahve been knackering themselves over in a onanistic frenzy for the past few months?” Natascha Kinski.

     

     

    “Aye.” Mila Jovovich.

     

     

    “What a send-off. Obama, Bush,Huns pumped, and now the Sandman definitives. Throw in a resurrection and it’d be the perfect weekend.” J.McCain.

     

     

     

    GORDON: 0 or 10.

     

     

    Irritated about having to get out his kip before noon on a Sunday, big Craig delayed any appearance until late in the Second half when he reluctantly laid down his Sunday Post halfway through Oor Wullie to save a grunting humph from the Colombian drug-mule lovechild of the big goon from the Hills Have eyes and Whoopi Goldberg.

     

     

     

    LUSTIG: 8/10

     

     

    Casting aside his cop duties due to a drastic reduction of ugliness in the Lisbon Lions stand this fixture, ‘he who is perenially past it’ battered into the superior demi-Gods in Lizzie-blue and would have even scored a double if not for bad luck and bad woodwork.

     

    On it from the start.

     

     

    Just Like…

     

     

     

    BOYATA/’THE BELGIAN’ : 8/10

     

     

    Focussed, driven, positionally-perfect. Won everything, bossed the mutant front line. Looked like he meant business. Here to stay…Until January.

     

     

     

    AJER: 8/10

     

     

    He’s just a bhoy… and you forget when you see him open that big stride and face up to the intimidation; he’s loving it, and every game’s another notch on the experience post.

     

     

    Kept his cool when Aids-ridden sex-pest McGregor had a reflexive nervous reaction from spending the weekend licking the floors of Amsterdam peep-show cubicles clean and snapped a boot into his side.

     

     

    A thanks to Ronny Deila for the big bhoy; major presence for us in years to come.

     

     

     

    KT: 8/10

     

     

    He’s one of our own…Toasted Chav in the first-half, forced wunderkind almost-unfortunately-pronounced ‘Kent’ to double-up with his kipper of a skipper to deny our roving left-back.

     

    Only KT’s often- amiss final balls let down a dazzling display.

     

     

     

    BROON: 9/10

     

     

    Superlatives exhausted. Separates the knowledgeable from the demented; ‘does nothing’ brilliantly, a ROCK in that middle, the ANCHOR by which our team finds ground, the GYRE by which our creatives’ flow is dictated.

     

     

    Took a ridiculous booking in his stride as angular psychopathic streak of pish Lafferty folded and dropped like a cheap androgynous bisexual hooker at an Andy Warhol Factory party.

     

     

    Yet again, Broon defied the ignorance of popular opinion and remained impervious and imperious.

     

     

     

    SAMUEL L JACKSON: 9/10

     

     

    Man o’ the mother####in’ Match.

     

    Took the path of the righteous man and laid down some vengeance upon those cheeky Hun Monkey upstarts with a display of near-perfect decision-making and timing of movement.

     

     

    Made every pass count. Made every Hun weep. He dared them to say ‘What?’ again. They did. And lo, he was Jules; the Huns were Brett, Flock Of seagulls and Jerry…

     

     

     

    CALMAC: 7/10

     

     

    Took off from his Thursday night sparkle and look very sharp and lively. Surprisingly faded a bit in the second half when I expected him to really open them up. They got off lightly.

     

     

     

    FORREST: 7/10

     

     

    Another who shaded away in the second half but not before the Prestwick Flyer had burned them up a few times, sizlzing and direct the way we like him – great inspiration and vision to pick the flat pass across the box to Sam J in the heat of the moment when YOU and ME and EVERY TIM ON EARTH were halfway in the air screaming SHOOT!

     

     

     

    ROGIC: 6.5/10

     

     

    Thought he was a little heavy-footed in his most opportune moments and fizzled things out when he usually has the fleet-footed guile to carve them up. However, you cannot keep a good footballer down and was instrumental in our goal.

     

     

     

    FRENCH EDDY: 6.5/10

     

     

    A lonely furrow and not much space to operate in – he’s best with the ball in front of him and someone to run at. Still, class finds a way and he should have scored the header after finding the room; head it down and it’s in but he went for power too difficult to generate. Nice movement at our goal. Full fitness will come and the inevitable scoring run.

     

     

     

    SUBS:

     

     

    CHRISTIE: 7/10

     

     

    Good impression. Won that free-kick and rattled the Huns with his determined forward thinking. Looks keen to make his impact once and for all this season; interesting few months ahead.

     

     

     

    GRIFFITHS: 7/10

     

     

    Got the scent of goal again, always difficult for Sparky after a summer of burds knickers. Crashed the free-kick well, denied by Peter Sutclidffe in nets.

     

    Must be utterly delighted Dembele threw a tizzy; expect fireworks from him this season a she shares the top spot with Eddy.

     

     

    SINCY: N/A

     

     

    Strolled on last few seconds, annoyed the Zombies with his hair.

     

     

     

    BR: 9/10

     

     

    Difficult week with the surrounding furore. Lot of mental pressure given the presence of Slippy G and the hubris there. Kept his counsel, kept his calm, kept his nerve, WON.

     

     

    More things could have gone wrong than right today. He made sure none did.

     

    Now expect him to move it right on after the International break and get the team on a competitive level for this Europa group.

     

     

     

    OVERALL: 9/10

     

     

    Pantywetters and handwringers been taking fainting fits all summer with the hyperbole around the Scouse acrobat. It became too easy to dismiss this Celtic squad and to nod in tandem with those fruitcake SMSM hacks when they tented their troosers with every proclamation out of Mordor.

     

     

    Celtic missed the CL qualification by a baw hair. We’re a european-marinated bunch of players who have played, won and also been humped in some of the toughest football environs.

     

     

    To think/declare that a ramshackle assortment of journeymen and unknowns could suddenly come together as a potent force under an inexperienced manager, living only on previous playing reputation, and have the wherewithall to seriously damage our past two years of progress was naive, and churlish.

     

    Our players took them to school today. Took the ball off them and kept it. Could and should have been 4 or 5. Pride and professionalism in abundance, job done; marker not laid down, more like rammed right up their arse.

     

     

     

    THE HUNS:

     

     

    Don’t believe the ‘Avengers Assemble’ billing; more like ‘Bullshitters Ensemble’; they’ll be in a scrap for 2nd with hibs, Sheep and Hearts.

     

    Slippy G’s honeymoon is nearing its end, which will come in Euro-savagings and a late Christmas plundering at Mordor on the 29th. He’s about to find out how incredibly repulsive his bride is.

  7. Wits Absolutely amigo. We have some fine posters from the fair city. But you are indeed our finest. Gravediggerscsc

  8. The statement about the crush today was poor, but to be fair I contacted John Paul Taylor and he did say they were very concerned and it needed a full investigation. I’ll be speaking to him again tomorrow so if anyone else was caught up in it email me your thoughts and experiences to vfr@girfuy.co.uk and I’ll pass them on.

  9. Fan a Tic

     

    Said to my son today watching the match. Tom Rogic and Olly Ntcham are World Class performers.

     

    Both were magic today.

     

    Hun midfield are woeful fitba players.

     

    Nice to see.

    Am as sober as an Edinburgh judge

     

     

    They are gash, the Europe Thursdays will destroy them … and they aren’t very good

     

     

    That could have been 7 or 8 today if it want for the woodwork and the coward who is a decent goalie

  11. From Sky’s highlight, it looks as though Collum was looking right at MacGregor as he kicked Ajer.

     

     

    And not sure it’s been mentioned, but should we be querying if the 4th official was indeed shouting “foul foul foul!” at the ref?

     

     

    Is that his job – to referee the game independently from the touchline?

     

     

    I’d be surprised if that was the case. More likely he was a Hun who got carried away (I think 4th official was John “Cheatin'” Beaton, so this is eminently possible…)

  12. Gerryfaethebrig on

    Sandman

     

     

    Excellent… Kris Ajer is actually very interesting and still a bhoy but my favourite line

     

     

    “McGregor had a reflexive nervous reaction from spending the weekend licking the floors of Amsterdam peep-show cubicles”

     

     

    :-)

  13. Gerryfaethebrig

     

     

    I agree they don’t look great and were mince today, but bottom six?

     

    Barrring an insolvency event no way.

     

    Get a score on it, next year’s holidays paid for.

  14. First time I have watched Stevie Gerrard’s Rangers. Great to see that they are pure shite at fitba.

     

    Here we go to 8 in a row.

  15. the glorious balance sheet on

    That was the biggest 1-0 thrashing I’ve ever seen in my life.

     

     

    Celtic were excellent, Sevco were an embarrassment. Their only tactic was a long diagonal ball up to Lafferty.

     

     

    It’s something of a travesty that the winning margin wasn’t at least by four goals to Celtic.

     

     

    And to top off a very good day Paul the Tim is trolling Kyle Lafferty on twitter, tweeting pictures of himself with Lafferty’s ex-missus. :)

  16. The tribute act has learned how to defend. They are a much better organised outfit than the shambles we destroyed at CP last season.

  17. Sadly it seems Celtic have once again sided with police Scotland rather it’s own supporters.

     

     

    I am hearing some pretty bad things about that crush today.

    Don’t forget wee Jack ass who also had a stamp … a team of cowards

     

     

    Snakes ?

     

     

    Glad the good ghuys prevailed :-)

     

     

    Sid

     

     

    Maybe bottom 6 is a stretch but I love to dream :-)

  19. I’VEHADTOCHANGEMYMIND on 2ND SEPTEMBER 2018 8:20 PM

     

    I’ve been on FF and HunMedia. It oscillates between “we were a shambles and didnae huv a clue” and “we were a wee bit unlucky and the ref cost us the game”. Usual acrimonious debate.

  20. Saw some Celtic supporters this morning at garage in Penrith today gone past 11. Looked like their minibus had broken down in some way by looks of it. No way they could get to the game. Hope they saw the game in one of the Penrith pubs with SKY sports.

  21. G64

     

    Wish we had McGregor as our goalie.

     

    He saved them from a pumping along with Cheat Collum.

  22. Neganon it was a very frightening experience. I will pass my thoughts onto the SLO and keep the blog updated on the response.

  23. Congratulations to everyone at Celtic! Brilliant performance today. Congratulations to the players and management. We passed them off the park today. So many great performances that I don’t want to name anyone in particular. While everyone was a hero I would like to give a special shout to PC Mick Lustig who had a great game against that big thug from Norn Iron.

     

     

    I watched it again when I got home from the match. Fantastic. I would also like to pay tribute to the fans in the Jock Stein Stand who were very, very loud today. Well done everyone. Great singing from all round the stadium. Magic.
