  1. Everytime Rasking plays against us,he likes to have a go at certain players, Martin on his first media talk was saying about the present build of some of our players,when he managed us back in the day he mentioned that quite a few we tough nuts to crack,hopefully if he is still.at the club come January he will bring players in that have that toughness about them,and hopefully he gets one off the to sort that bully Ruskin.

    What is the Starz on 2nd November 2025 7:12 pm

     

    Dermot Desmond deserves huge credit now.

     

    If he hadn’t have acted we would be in a much worse place right now

     

     

    The manager resigned.

     

     

    Desmond acted like a jilted lover in his rant.

    Dermot Desmond deserves huge credit now.

     

     

    If he hadn’t have acted we would be in a much worse place right now

     

     

    ————–

     

     

    Was the right thing to do at the right time

     

     

    St Martin stepping up was again; the right thing at the right time

     

     

    What is less than helpful was the statement he bolloxed all over the official site

     

     

    But after listening to brendans pressers maybe he thought that loosing the first bolt would help.

     

     

    However

     

     

    What a respobnse from the team, individual players stepping up and bursting a gut

     

     

    Especially those who were not included in the match day squads this year

     

     

    Huge credit goes to Martin and Shaun for giving the players belief, dig and drive

     

     

    Huge, huge difference to our play in such a short space of time

     

     

    Trusty, Engels, Kenny and Osmand take a bow

     

     

    Big turnaround

    Follow follow must be a blast tonight

     

     

    Herr Rohl learned a lot about his team tonight

     

     

    We remembered a lot about our team tonight

  6. FF,

     

    “Anybody know what haappened in the UB section”

     

    ” A guy was ill,and it took a while to get attention.Cops thought a pitch invasion was coming”

     

    ” No wonder it took so long,most of the fekers,can’t speak English”

     

     

    On £10 million Cherniti.

     

    “Looks like a guy that won a game in a competition.”

     

    “looks like a guy that was 6″ 4 when he was in primary,scored goals,until he went to Secondary”

     

     

    “When are we going to demand neutral Refs?.Sick being robbed

     

    ” What did the Ref say to Tav about trustys deliberate STAMP on Jacks face?”.

     

     

    Absolute bangers on there.Their pain is palpable.

  7. BBC headline – “Rohl won’t talk about decisions – but were Rangers hard done by?”

     

     

    i.e. the Ibrox manager doesn’t see any reason to moan about the referee, so the state broadcaster will do it for him.

  8. Delighted to see Osmand getting his chance. He looked great in pre-season games. I wonder how many of our younger guys could have been given more of a chance in the past couple of years. I go to a lot of B team games and thought Rocco Vata was outstanding. Water under the bridge now, but it’s great Osmand is in and maybe Shaun will start to give one or two more a chance.

  10. Well deserved, great to see some dig and determination, second half they kinda took us by surprise I reckon, but once we weathered their storm we took control again, never seen Walsh so bias, the call must be out, sadly our suits will just bend over and take it.

     

    Strange how some folks see the game, I thot Engels was superb, took so much pressure off CalMac and allowed him much more control, as for Jonny Kenny and Ozzy, they will only get better, Jamsie was superb when he came on as was KT, Sarachie ran his heart out, over the proverbial, wee Sean deserves a special mention as it must have been his decision to include young Ozzy.

     

    Def red for the hun and am surprised that Austin stayed on given the rank officiating, as for their pen, Dearie Me…..Eff them.

     

    FC not PLC

  11. Bhoys Town

     

     

    Saw the Osmand interview after the game

     

     

    He is so young and to most of us on here a grandkid

     

     

    He played well tonight, depsite missing a few chances he got a toe on the one that mattered

     

     

    Here’s hoping he gets the minutes and is able to develop and mature into the striker that many thought he was gonna be

     

     

    One thing for sure, our departed manager was not gonna give him the time on the pitch to do that

     

     

    I have (mostly) always been a brendan fan but his treatment of Trusty, Engels, Kenny and Osmand in denying them the game time they need (especially Trusty who has already proven his mettle to start and use the excuse of not wanting 2 left footers at centre half as it upsets the balance – remember atalanta?? )

     

     

    I hope we can continue to believe in our players and play the best player for the position and not the best player for the system

     

     

    As often, they don’t match up

  12. IMO, Trusty was stupid and very lucky, Cornelius tackle on Kenny was a red card as well ,some great performances today and well done to Maloney for getting Osmand involved, another few games we could have a striker ,and Kenny had a good game too

  13. ADVERTISEMENT
  14. Pleased for Martin.

     

    I thought we were excellent in the first half. We were aggressive and confident. Kenny caused them huge problems. Trusty was a colossus.

     

     

    In the 2nd half we were too passive and allowed them to crawl back into the game. They moved Tavernier into an inverted midfield position and we were slow to adjust and switch the play to the left. Tounekti was indicative of the problem. That being said the penalty Walsh gave them is a scandal and it’s an even bigger scandal that the VAR has not intervened.

     

     

    There is evidence to suggest that some players are glad to see the back of Brendan by the nature of the performances and increased intensity. I can’t understand how Osmand has come so quickly into the equation and looks to be a threat. He is obviously highly rated by someone who has been at the club.

     

     

    As for the search for a new manager. It’s an awkward time to recruit. My money is on Martin being given until the final at least.

     

     

    The squad doesn’t look anywhere near as bad as it did just 7 days ago. Maybe Dermot was right. Time will tell. The protests will surely die down. A win over Rangers is just the tonic. It’s how this city rolls.

  15. Well once again the “Trebles” on.A very hard game in the final,but we are there.AJ back,hunners of strikers fighting for a game.Callmac moved forward, Engels in a proper position.Two LBs.Looking much better.

     

    The main thing though,it’s going to be a long hard Winter for the manky scum,as they,if they made it,won’t have a sniff of a Trophy until next May.Meanwhile we can add another and go one more ahead off them.

     

    Whood a thunk it?..

    watchin wee Callum giving big Soapy Soutar the runaround was nearly as enjoyable as the first time I saw (on video) wee Jinky giving Davie Provan the runaround

  17. When Lenny asked MoN about his thoughts on Osmand I swear for a moment Martin had no idea who he was referring to – “that the young lad. . .?”

     

    Then he said he needed to go and watch some Larsson DVDs to be more composed in front of goal. Said with a smile, of course, but a wee message I think that he has a lot to learn.

    That was the week that was.

     

     

    Martin O’Neill proved that the manager is the supremo, at any football club. That’s why some supporters defend them to the end.

     

     

    Not even subtle were the changes in team selection made by MON and Shaun the subbing was better staged, and Celtic were the superior team over the piece with lots of local derby controversy aided and abetted by interpretation of rules, and then there’s the VAR hun.

     

     

    Arne Engels young player mysteriously went from ‘shoe in’ last season to frozen out. A was much better physical addition and badly needed to double pivot with Calmac, who was even free’d up for a great goal. Benny Nygren’s unconscious ‘goal’ ruled out, wasn’t stopping Celtic’s new more direct approach, in a first half where we were even an aerial threat, a superb header, a Celtic striker rarity and the icing on the first half cake.

     

     

    Rainjurz unlike Hearts were wide open at the back and couldn’t handle Seb Tounetki especially in a period after half time, we should have put a few more into our Hampden happy place , but had to wait for Callum Osmand. We’ve gone from nobody playing well to everyone, playing well in a week.

     

     

    Maligned ever present Liam Scales was immense from start to finish Auston Trusty easily justifies his place and price. Tony (gets it) Ralston had a great game despite the ludicrous new penalty hand ball interpretation, gifted by Nicky Walsh and patched by Andrew Dallas. Kieran Tierney threatened on the left like Saracchi before him James Forrest hit the bar with his swinger, and ran Rainjurz downwards in extra time, but it was Calum Osmand that did a Stevie Chalmers like diversion, into the Celtic end, for a thoroughly deserved 3-1.

     

     

    Two new heroes in one day, really was piling on the agony putting on the style.

     

     

    MOM Liam Scales

  20. I see the huns have aleady complained to the SFA about the Trusty challenge.

     

    Of all the complaints about out board the one that I agree with most is how we take bad officiating lying down. I know Paul says we do stuff behind the scenes, and I wouldn’t want us to look like those bampots, but I would love MON to present a forensic criticism of about 4-5 major wrong decisions that took place today, and ask why so many fouls and yellow card were given against us.

    I was there that day. Was your dad n uncle WILLIE?

    fave uncle

     

    Dunno if my auld man was there – will need to ask him.

     

    i know he was at the 7-1 game

     

    He used to come in from the Broomfield Tavern. I’d be in bed and he’d come in and tell my stories about Jinky, Real Madrid (he was at mass with them when they were over for the Euro final v E Frankfurt) and Brazil among other stuff. My brothers actually thought that Jimmy Johnstone played over at St Rochs juniors park !!!

    you should start your own site mate, your writing and summation is tip top

     

     

    (apologies if you already have – and if you havent, make that happen)

  25. We should have been out of sight, prior to the ” Penalty”, we all knew they were going to get one and when the inevitable happened ,my heart sunk.

     

     

    I really feared the worst, I could see game finishing level and us losing on spot kicks., but God Bless CalMac a Celtic Legend and God Bless Osmand, I was in tears watching him in tears.,

     

     

    Very hard to pick 3 for Jobo, Thought Trusty & Scales did very well at the back.

     

    The young Bhoys Kenny & Osmand are both candidates, personally I will be including Kaspar thought he made a couple of great stops.

     

    Was also impressed the way he rushed from his goal & preventing any of our Bhoys retaliating in the red card incident.

     

     

    Finally thrilled for Saint Martin, from depths of despair , the last 2 games have given us Dreams to Dream.

     

     

    God Bless Glasgow Celtic.

  28. We need to officially ask for an explanation of the penalty. Kilmarnock had a week long enquiry for a handball that was reasonably obvious.

     

    I have no idea how that was given today. Ralston was fouled first and then fell with his arms tucked in.

     

    I was sure even VAR with Dallas would tell the ref that a clear and obvious error had been made

  29. looking forward tothe main talking point of the bbc sports highlights

     

     

    The disgraceful decision to allow Trusty to remain on the pitch after booting butlad in the head – and also the side quest of the shocking state of the celtic kit after ralstons shorts fell to pieces after assguard merely touched them

     

     

    when is it on?? Cant wait to hear the pish they talk

  30. BBc Sports Headline

     

     

    “Rohl won’t blame officials – but were Rangers hard done by?”

     

     

    What fecking game did they watch?
