  1. Nice touch from CalMac calming down the celebrations a little. He can probably remember Slippy’s fist pump coming back to bite him on the backside.

     

     

    While I’m loving these new signings, I think having someone who has seen it and done it before will be crucial.

     

     

    I don’t want anyone to say he’s not captain material again. Not everyone should be judged through the prism of Broonie who was pretty unique.

  2. Surprised no one has mentioned the outstanding bit of skill by

     

    Matthew Sean O’Riley,

     

    2 touch and taking a sevco player out the game, as he laid the ball off the Liel Abada

     

    👏👏👏

  3. Did Abada just announce Barisic’s retirement last night ? 😂

     

     

    Hopefully The Trailer Park Kid got out of JJ’s pocket and found his way home safely after the game.

     

     

    The sight of them falling to their knees has Abada made in three was beautiful. Just beautiful.

  4. …still laffin’…………………

     

     

    :)))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))

  5. Geebee – two other moments last night from calmac that haven’t been picked up on. Sakala was having a go at 16 year old Ben doak. Cal was straight over to tell sakala to gtf. The other one was first half after yet another occasion that Barasic gave the ball away. Cal appeared to run past him giving him pelters and looking really pumped up in the process. Never really seen him bamming up opponents like that before.

     

     

    Most of all the very fact that he was on the park playing when he could easily have said no speaks absolute volumes about his character.

    toto bene down_under BIGJIMMY

     

    OZ bhoys more than happy,

     

     

    the weight and reputation of a nation . OZ football was on the mans shoulders

     

     

    your a tough audience :O)

     

     

    a doddle

     

     

    we like to win

     

     

    oi oi oi

  7. absolutely magnificent display in the first 45 mins to be only 3 up at the interval , took the foot of the pedal in the second half , understandably , good game management but still some nervous moments in the second , a excellent all round team performance .

    CalMac was screaming “Sh!t€bag” at Barasic in that incident you highlight.

     

     

    Magnificent

     

     

    The term “rent free” is overused these days but that scene will live in my head rent free for a LOOOOOONG time.

  9. AND to think that there were Hun fans SLAGGING OFF Celtic for signing Bhoys from Japan in the last couple of months….

     

    I wonder what they think now… Haud oan…..NAW I DON’T….cos ” We dont care what the Animals say” !

     

    Our Bhoys from Japan have MORE than ” Eastern Promise” going for them.

     

    Once all our Japanese Bhoys are fully FIT and up to speed…( and that also applies to Matt O’Riley)…we will take some stopping !

     

    HH.

  10. CALMAC MUST have really got into Barasics heid…as he was woeful throughout and now wonder he was subbed at half time.

     

    It was ONLY 1-0 to Celtic at the time, and i noticed it while watching the game LIVE, but obviously I had NO IDEA what CALMAC shouted at the Dopey Hun Bastard, til I watched the LINK above.

     

     

    Funny as feck and our CAPITANO showing his experience.

     

    HH

  11. Ratticus McCannis is an embarrassment to himself with his comments that the first goal should not have stood.

  12. In the Classic Gangster Film ” White Heat” starring a certain ” JIMMY CAGNEY”…

     

     

    At the end of the Film he yells out….” Look at me MA….TOP of the LEAGUE MA” !

     

    MAGIC !

     

     

    HH

  13. Jeez…There is some amount of MOVIE Buses, Vans and equipment outside my Window just now….MAYBE IF I get down there some Passer By might ask me for my autograph…If I hang aboot long enough.

     

    LOL

    Still buzzing and this result is getting good sports news coverage here downunder.

     

     

    SEN – a sports only station – has a nice interview by an ex-AFL star with Ange post-game, where the Boss offered more insight about how he gets and respects our fanbase. Enjoy:

    QUAD, thanks for that, a great watch/listen. Ange sure gets the Bhoys. I loved the bit …. “Our job is to send them home happy, send them in to work happy. Mind you I don’t know how many will make it in to work tomorrow!”

  15. Oh what a beautiful morning to be a Celt 🍀

     

     

    Great goals last night, Abadas finish was sublime as was Hatates 2nd.

     

     

    As previously mentioned it’s a team effort and the whole coaching staff should take a bow for helping the boss implement his style and workrate.

     

     

    This period is probably the most excited I have been about the potential of a Celtic team. 45 years since my first trip to paradise.

     

     

    In Ange we trust

     

     

    HH 🍀

  16. If we win the SPL and get into the CL group stages, then Celtic should do a mini tour of Japan as a thank you.

  18. I noticed gvb was interviewed in front of a covered up sponsors board – I would be surprised if the said sponsors didn’t complain to Sky for censorship.

  19. I think we saw some of Scott Brown’s influence on Calmac last night.

     

    He’s starting to look like a Celtic captain.

     

    Too many halfs and a bad hip don’t make for a pleasant morning.

     

    Totally worth it.

     

    Great comments all evening.

     

    Love when posters are arguing over which of our (5?) contenders was MOTM.

  20. PS

     

    RIP aunty Rose(many years ago but never forgotten), a wee glesga hardwoman and a right bitch. always in my heart aunty

  21. So apparently the best way to make sure you never lose a goal is for a defender to go down holding his head.

  22. Loved this quote from Ange after the game:

     

     

    “Our end goal is to play football a certain way and to win things and we haven’t done that”

     

     

    He knows there is even more to come from the squad and is not getting carried away – that is exciting. Always intelligent detail from him with his feet firmly on the ground. The league still has to be won – last night’s performance will galvanise the squad, promote confidence & belief and have every player itching to get in the team.

     

     

    The “new era’ clicked into gear last night…..big time!!!!

  23. Gene – in his post match interview, GVB said there was no excuse to stop play, that you defend the corner and play to the whistle. Only the likes of McCann and Boyd spinning that excuse last night. The ref would have had no idea it was a head collision and the play was stopped about 5 seconds after it. I’ve looked over on FF and even there they are saying they would be raging if they had a goal chopped off for that.

  24. Great result / even better performance.

     

    AP has changed just about everything for the better.

     

    Hope the club realise that the old game has gone for good — PL no more.

     

    Time to plan for the summer like we planned for January.

     

     

    AP and his all action style has delivered a growth agenda.

     

    If you deliver good football they will come.

     

    What is the season ticket waiting list?

     

     

    JJ and GG tell us everything — that that have give / those that haven’t try.

     

    JJ = huge talent / not sure even he knows how big — brilliant footballer who happens to play RB.

     

    GG = effective player who gave his all and haunted them for 60 minutes — huge performance.

     

    The goals will come but he is so much more than that.

     

     

    OE played in slippers / he plays in pit boots.

     

    And the TFOD2.1 defence knew that from the off.

     

    We missed him when he went off.

  25. Good article by Tom English on BBC Sport this morning. Well worth a read – top-notch sports writing!!!

  26. Great stuff last night

     

     

    Hun manager has made the mistake of opening up their formation , getting away from previous tight formation. Not quite akin to Mowbray after WGS but getting there …. Their 2 wingers were spare parts and their midfield was more open pushing up because the full backs weren’t pushing up …. it left their back 4 exposed and they played as if they didn’t belief in what was going in front of them

     

     

    Had a gut feeling that Van B would move away from the brutal tight midfield, swinging high balls in from the full backs …. He is not the long term answer for them and will be gone in the summer ….

  27. JCurious to know how they other side are reacting? Over on Follow Follow, they are running a poll as to whether they will win the league or not.

     

    Currently 57 % are saying no. Typical quotes:

     

     

    “We have a squad who for the majority are absolute shitebags. We’ve blown every cup and been a shambles after every winter break. Last season (behind closed doors) is so far, the exception to the rule.”

     

     

    “Based on that shitshow tonight, the piss-poor return from the winter break and the stuttering nature of this season as a whole?

     

    Nope.

     

    Will be very glad to be proven wrong May of course but let’s be honest – we’ve seen this movie before with this squad.”

     

     

    “Heart says yes. Head says most of these players have made it abundantly clear over the last few years that they dont have the guts for a genuine title race.”

     

     

    “It’s pathetic that a guy in his 50s who is basically a no mark manager is probably going to win a treble in his first season against our squad tbh.”
