  1. Still shaking. Think I’ll leave the analysis till tomorrow. What we got was heart stopping entertainment , a win that will hurt them more than a 5 nil drubbing, a 13 point lead with 7 games left to play. When all the hype dies down it will still go down as a very special win that we will remember for all the right reasons. We will watch recordings of today’s highlights for years with smiles on our faces.

     

    The shit and there was plenty of it will be soon forgotten.

    Before the game I’d have considered bidding for him , but after that performance

     

     

    there’s no way I’d have that Kent anywhere near our Team…….

     

     

    ———-

     

    Kent is their best player by some way. And but he is a hun faced bassa

     

     

    HH jg

  3. Shortie and “Doddsy” – keen to deflect from the hun tactics…………..

     

     

    Horrible.

  4. Half time was a bummer.

     

     

    We should have had more than a 1 goal lead. But halftime meant players had time to reflect and possibly relax. Probably also allowed Lennon to make decision on Hayes sub. Was he injured (kick in the head)? Was it the yellow (and Madden maybe looking to even it up). Personally I thought Tierney was done and should have been protected from himself.

     

     

    No idea why Kent wasn’t sent off. Which would have meant Boyata wouldn’t have done his hammy.

     

     

    Unusually downbeat after beating them. Because the scoreline should have been a hammering.

     

     

    Ajer MOTM by a distance.

    Dec 29 erased.We scored more than ‘them’ have more points than ‘them’ have the league cup,gunning for the Scottish cup.We lost our way a little bit in the second half…..but hey the day belongs to us.Let the media spin all they want about ‘them’ coming so close to getting a POINT.As I have just stated the day belongs to us…WE got the three points so enjoy the day,they are a hurting BIG time.

     

    They are nowhere near

     

    Because we’re 13 clear!!!

  6. glendalystonsils on

    You could see KT was done well before he went off , couldn’t run for a pass he would normally have kept in. Surprised Lenny didn’t see it…..Toljan wasn’t nearly ready to come on.

     

    Eddy’s best game for a long time but big Kris gets MOTM for me….a Celtic captain in the making.

  7. what absolute bed wetting nonsense is typed on here about our performances and the manager.

     

     

    celtic won.

     

     

    the manager has not lost a game.

  8. Poor team performance today. One player had an assist and scored the winner and is described as woeful, dearie me

     

     

    HH

  9. Thought Ntcham was excellent on his return. Class player.

     

     

    Brown interview after the game was even classier.

     

     

    Sky coverage. Dreadful. Cut off on channel 501 (Virgin). But continued for 15 mins on 503. No announcement to say that. And for those recording, no chance. Why put it on two channels but have different end times.

  10. Saint Stivs on 31st March 2019 2:36 pm

     

     

    Agreed.

     

     

    NFL’s record as Celtic manager this time around is better than BR’s was.

  11. BANKIEBHOY1 on 31ST MARCH 2019 2:31 PM

     

    Jamesgang, aye that Kent is their best asset……………………

     

     

    ———

     

    Aye, the stickies will look to cash in by selling him………even though he’s a Liverpool player!!

     

     

    ????

  12. glendalystonsils on

    I’m glad Kent’s punch on Brown was caught on camera…cited , surely? With Halliday also getting second yellow and nae Morelas , they could be without a few key players for the next few games and will likely drop more points.

  13. Yeeeesssss! That’s why we’re Champions!

     

    Stinking second half but never say die!

     

    That team as classless as their manager.

     

    Madden the quintessential cheating Hun!

     

    Hail, hail to the good guys!

  14. patmcgrathtakesapenalty on

    In both the Morelos and Kent incidents with Broonie, the BBC site does not attempt to justify the violent play but clearly states provocation:

     

     

    “But after a loose pass from Rangers captain James Tavernier, Celtic pounced, Forrest racing in to the box to slide in the winner, before Kent shoved Brown to the ground as the Celtic skipper prevented him retrieving the ball for kick-off.”

     

     

    Shove/push? The photos on the LIVE analysis site make it look a dramatic punch. Whatever it was, there certainly should be punishment. I thought Kent was out to advertise his wares in the wake of rumours linking him with Celtic but he came out today as a right hun.

  15. Kris Ajer is growing in to the realest of real deals. Absolutely immense today before and after he lost half his defensive partners. And he gets it too.

     

     

    KT injury probably cost us the goal, but until then they were going nowhere.

     

     

    Olivier was tiring and had to come off after a really good game. So KT staying on was inevitable. You can’t always legislate for another injury and we were unlucky to have to replace dedryk.

     

     

    It must be really sickening for them. Equaliser from nothing, KT and DB go off injured soon after and they are thinking ‘get a winner, 7 points in it’ – to 13 point gap in less than half an hour!

     

     

    Plagued by injuries and dubious form all season long, lose a manager at a crucial time and we are 13 points ahead by the end of March.

     

     

    Aye, that gap is closing alright……

     

     

    Roon thum

     

     

    I’m watching that second half again tonight because, adrenaline aside, I suspect we were not as poor as I thought. Olivi

  16. PS For 9 long, tax-avoiding, cheating years in my 20s I associated this time of year with my dreams and hopes being crushed once again. Of then having to face smug, gloating ?bassas.

     

    Welcome, once again, to karma and retribution.

  17. Can’t decide whether the execrable”Doddsy” is just sleekit or thicker than keech in the neck of a bottle……..

  18. Do the Celtic supporters who came out of the stands caused Edouard to get a yellow card. Gonnae no date that!

  19. We won.

     

     

    We should’ve won by more

     

     

    Any truth in the rumour that sevco have had more players sent off *after* games than during them?

     

     

    This should be highlighted if so

    BANKIEBHOY1 on 31ST MARCH 2019 2:47 PM

     

    Can’t decide whether the execrable”Doddsy” is just sleekit or thicker than keech in the neck of a bottle……..

     

     

    Doddsy , Boydy , McCoist , McCann……..there are two essential qualities you need to be a true hun……you’ve just described both of them.

  21. great 3 its. hard to watch 2nd half, we should have buried them but think SS for JH was the wrong decision (hindsight is a great thing) we made it hard for ourselves ,strange subs from NL , but we never give up and accept anything other than a win , 3 wins to fly the flag .

  22. Melbourne Mick on

    Hello again all you young rebels.

     

     

    It’s strange when you come on the blog and see names who rarely post

     

    but offer only negative comments after a imo thrilling victory.

     

    Whats wrong with you ghuys?

     

    Did any of you actually play soccer?

     

    Sometimes shit happens no matter how good your team is.

     

    Lenny changed Johnny for Sincy,was that the right call?

     

    Who knows, was Johny injured, don’t know as he was having a great game

     

    so to me he must have been.

     

    Maybe some of you supposed Celtic supporters should just calm down

     

    after a game with der hun and not act like that twat halliday on a blog.

     

    H.H Mick

  23. Back to Basics - Glass Half Full on

    We won.

     

     

    And some people who didn’t like us before still don’t like us.

     

     

    13 up, 7 to play. Just about there.

     

     

    Others have called it on here dead right ….. enjoy the result.

     

     

    The wider debate about who leads us and how we reinvigorate a squad which will have played 180+ competitive games in less than 35 months?

     

     

    Later.

     

     

    Hail hail

  24. I thought Davis and Defoe would have been used at some point to ‘guarantee’ goals and proven quality. Surprised they didn’t put those expensive loan players to use for at least some part of the game.

     

     

    What’s that? They did come on?

     

     

    Never noticed……

  25. Scott Brown

     

     

    What more can you say about the guy

     

     

    Proper leader of men, heart of a lion and Celtic legend

     

     

    Absolutely love him

  26. A few Celts still struggling with their angst and wanting to hit out at players and manager.

     

     

    When do you celebrate Celtic, if not now?

     

     

    Nobody is claiming everything is rosy.

     

    Nobody is claiming we were at our best today (though the first half was pretty good)

     

    Nobody is claiming that everyone played well.

     

    And, you know what, we don’t feel the need to.

     

     

    Today is for celebrating.

     

     

    Scott Brown, Mikael Lustig and James Forrest have secured their 8th league winners medal today- achievements that cannot be denied.

  27. the stevie g interview is another bumper.

     

     

    in summary scott broon pulls faces and laughs at my players, and they will retaliate.

     

     

    hahahhahahahhahaha

  28. STEBHOY on 31ST MARCH 2019 1:58 PM

     

     

    we looked jaded and won’t win Scottish cup unless this result gives us a boost

     

     

    *Yes we do but honestly whose going tae beat us in the SC, the sheep are scheidt as are the calvinists, ICT are poor as well, all that will stop us are the mitb.

     

     

    Sinky for Johnny Hayes initially I thought it was a very good tactical decision as I thought Scotty would run at them, however, you cant legislate for KT’s injury.

     

     

    Great analysis all round except for the antipodean mona lisa, I reckon the last time he smiled was when he had hives.

  29. Will not comment on a game i didnt see. However I am happy with result ,analysis can wait. I did e see see a brief highlight piece and think Madden did not see the Kent push? Nice finish by James football for the winner .

     

    I went through gym before game and this was the first few songs on my i pod when i hit shuffle….Yes- Mcalmont & Butler, Blue Monday and True Faith – New Order, Ice Cream- New Young Pony Club, Finder – Ninetoes Any wonder i was confident we would win?

     

    Tagliatelle Bolognese is slowly cooking. Just waiting to hear when the Lhad is back.

  30. FAVOURITE UNCLE on

    KT obviously carrying an injury.so he is allowed to take two 6 hour flights to back of nowhere and back with BIG ECK .remember whattie withdrawing 5 huns from scottish squad just before they played us.

     

     

    so who allowed him to go .?????????????????????????

  31. Sweet, sweet victory to take us 13 clear….what’s not to like ;-))

     

     

    Jamesgang…PS For 9 long, tax-avoiding, cheating years in my 20s…ya naughty bhoy…Hector’s gonna get you ;-))

     

     

    H.H.

  32. I’m in the ‘enjoy’ the result camp today. The orcs will have that wee bit of hope left. I love that. It’ll be the death of their club. Again.

     

     

    Give slippy one more season. Please. Please. Please!!!!

     

     

    If we secure the manager and players we need it’ll be a joy!

     

     

    They’ll have a team of world beaters before the end of the close season. Panty wetters on here will be declaring Armageddon. And then the fun starts again.

     

     

    That first half was a reminder that when we play Sevco we play a second rate tribute act. That’s their level. They got a bit of luck and their tails up as a result. But where was the quality? They don’t have it any more than Aberdeen have it. They can graft and grind out a result against us now and then. But genuine contenders they ain’t. Their central defenders were lauded as the best in the country in September and every so often since. They are utter dug plop. The midfield that dominated our in December? Jack? Anonymous. Arfield? MIA. McCrorie? Was he playing?

     

     

    Tavernier? Capable of a flash of decent play now and then, but in reality a poor man’s anton rogan without the heart that anton had.

     

     

    Their big name loanees are like those who went before them – alves, senderos, kranjcar, Barton. They’ve sold a few tickets. Sold the jerseys.

     

     

    Yet another rebuild needed in their summer.

     

     

    We’ve got work to do. But it’s the difference between building a house and decorating one.

     

     

    8 is secure. 9 is a sure bet.

     

     

    Enjoy the win. Enjoy the title.

     

     

    Hail hail

     

     

    Despite our shortcomings
