    Of course we should be better

     

     

    We should not be in this stupid backwater of a league. There is the biggest failure.

     

     

    But that is not my point. We have got through. Let’s at least enjoy that.

    Good post. I’m an optomistic person I like to think but I just don’t see any progress. I’m so dissapointed in our lack of energy, our lack of will to press with energy and win 50-50s and most of all our lack of willingness to take responsibility and ask for the ball. Scott Brown was our best player but his ability is limited, he’s our best player because he doesn’t hide.

  3. The high water mark of Barca been thrown around like confetti tonight.

     

     

    Anyone want to mention last years Barca result?

    Completely unrelated to anything to do with football.

     

     

    I’m being told that the drink driving / alcohol blood count maximum is being reduced in Scotland in December. Almost halved.

     

     

    Question: (Probably covered in this site already.)

     

     

    If someone from England is convicted in Scotland of being over the drink-driving limit but at a level still legal in England, what happens?

     

     

    And all variations thereof…….

    Poor wretched Celtic

     

     

    Team building or team destruction

     

     

    IMO the latter ..we’re hopeless …we competed after gifting them a two goal start

     

     

    Not sure it’s Deila’s fault …the current shower of incompetents would challenge any manager

     

     

    Two years ago we beat Barca …….miserable me

    Ultimately we’re through, been there where everything went against us, but we got there with a wee bit of help, but we had the points on the board to get us there, we’ll take it, gives us another couple of nights of, well supporting the hoops from a bar in Ayr.

     

     

    Oh and sorry about the departing comment to the hun, not… who had 1-3 at 18/1…

    A few words high would have fitted,mate!

     

     

    Aye,it was a pleasure as always.

     

     

    Enjoy yer wee break in Madrid. Hope it’s a cracker.

  10. Only the 6th time in my 34 year adult life we have made it past Xmas in Europe.

     

     

    We have only won 3 trebles in my life. 1 in my adult life. We are still in with a chance of this too.

     

     

    Perspective CSC.

  11. Sad to say we may be losing another great Celtic man soon.

     

     

    My father in law has been in hospital for a fortnight with breathlessness . Spoke to him at 5:30pm before leaving for the game and he was looking forward to getting out tomorrow.

     

     

    Had a heart attack shortly before 6.

     

     

    I was walking to the game with my two sons when we got the call from my wife.

     

     

    We turned round and headed to the Victoria.

     

     

    His heart had stopped for a couple of minutes and the doctor said very few people survive. But he did.

     

     

    However he is now no longer able to get the operation that was being planned to replace a valve.

     

     

    He’s 81. Absolute Celtic to the core. An extreme pessimist when it comes to how we would get on. Handed down his season ticket to my 19 year old this season.

     

     

    Only a minor miracle will see him past the next week. He’s in a lot of pain due to the CPR and paddles.

     

     

    Jim Donnelly. YNWA.

     

     

    Will take a minor miracle for him

    Burnley78…..the 4-2 side had mediocre players, but they

     

    were a exceptional team,well they were that night,as for

     

    King Kenny’s double side ,they had ….well Kenny.

  13. Considering Efi’s recent lack of confidence I was dismayed to see him in the team,McGregor was also a surprise starter .We started like a team of strangers,but showed a lot of character to get back in the game L.G.was unlucky not to make it 2-2.

     

    Pity about the late goal, still not a bad performance against a very decent side . IMHO.

  15. Hee Hee soz. Who are you pal? I read your posts earlier. Classic bolloks.

     

     

    Attempting to silence dissension. Sounds Hunnish to me soz.

     

     

    Burnley the league thing is an excuse. Just an excuse. I am not going to celebrate a 3 1 defeat at home to a team who ain’t barca.

     

     

    TET are they a really rich team then????

    Didn’t say I was happy with what I saw tonight. That was tonight and I am watching the recording just now. We’ve played other matches in this competition and our results have enabled us to progress.I’m just a bit hacked off with all the hunnery that appears on here on match days. I’ll make calmer and more sober observations tomorrow.

    Re the Brazil v Czech. It was poor for the first hour but I agree the highlights esp last 30 mins made it look great.

    JIM DONNELLY,SUPER CELT.

     

     

    YNWA

     

     

    SUPERSUTTON,I hope he defies the odds. But meantime,I hope you can spend as much time as possible with him.

  19. What a strange feeling sitting at home thousands of

     

    miles from Celtic park and listening to all our bhoys

     

    and ghirls singing their heads off, we might not be a

     

    great team yet but that support are world class and

     

    after a few wee malts i was singing along with you

     

    all, so loud that the princess got up, said..” you must be

     

    winning then”, no, but listen to they Celts they do us

     

    proud.

  20. Just back. Tonight proved what RD has been saying is correct. Fitness and pace are essential in the modern game. Speed not only physical but mental. Allied this to basic technique and you have a team capable of competing with the likes of Salzburg, Legia and Maribor.

     

    Too many of our players lack fitness, lack pace and more worryingly lack basic technique that allows you to pass the ball to a teammate when under pressure.

     

    Stokes, Mulgrew, McGregor, Matthews, Izaguirre, Ambrose, Commons are not good enough to compete against average European teams we are now losing to on a regular basis.

     

    Thank god we’re not in the CL this season, we’d have been humiliated.

     

     

    At least come the last 32 we will have Guidetti eligible, Lustig & Denayer back, and a fully fit Forrest. Add a couple of signings in January to those four and we’ll be a different team.

     

     

    PS Soriani and Alan’s combined transfer fees is the same that we paid for Pukki or Scepovic or Bangura or Balde. It’s not just spending money, it’s how you spend it!

    As wee Doire Ghirl oft times says tae me……. You only see what you want to see lol.

     

    This is true of the happy clappy PL bonus team on CQN at this time.

     

    I wonder if old PL will do another wee tour of the Celtic supporters clubs soon, and that answer is most definitely, no need, yir opinions don’t count, shut it all down, big bonus.

     

    Failed strategy and counting down.

  22. Happy Thankgiving from the USA! Succulent turkey (read lamb) about to be served by my lovely Italian/Mexican lovely better half.

     

     

    Celtic in Europe after Crimbo, I’ll take that thank you. After a nightmare start, we adapted well and played well against a sugar-daddy funded team. Reminds me of a time when we played a defunct shower dressed in almost baby blue…

     

     

    James_Oregon if you’re lurking, I lost your number with an unscheduled mobile change. Could you shoot me a text, would be great to catch up, and Happy Thanksgiving!

  23. The support carried the team to a performance tonight, without the backing the team would have folded. I feared for the team after 5 minutes, we were getting battered.

     

     

    We were poor for the first 25-30 mins.

     

    Improvement came when the support found one thing to get behind and shout them on.

     

    The improvement was mostly through effort and grit, silky football was sparse.

     

    From either side actually.

     

    Having said that, I am not dispondant, I have said all season this will take time, there will be ups and downs as Ronny gets his system bedded into a team to which it is alien.

     

    Plus sides?

     

    The team did dig in, the team spirit was good.

     

    Downs? We lack 4-5 players who can play Ronny’s system(at least).

     

     

    Happy to have qualified.
