  1. thomthethim for Oscar OK on

    We got beat by a MON type team, who played to their ONE strength and got away with it.

     

     

    Apart from any other position, we need a proper left back.

     

     

    Izzie not doing it either end of the park.

     

     

     

    Not all over yet, though.

    My forecast of an own goal in our favour, ended as the game turned out to be an Own Goal from start to finish.First of all forget about replacements,the team that played today should have coped with that lot,if thats our approach from the team on an off the park, we have big problems,BTW I would make them shuv that JET back tae GLESCA never mind sleep on it.

     

    Very disappointed PJ

  3. The Good Ship Celtica with Captain Oscar Knox on

    I think 3 might be too much.

     

     

    Hope we get an early one next week.

     

     

    TGSC,

     

    Sailing On….

    Think that’s the end of M’kolo’s Celtic career. Never coming back from that. He was petrified the whole game. Great game to play a new centre half pairing. Worked really well. Arguably the most humiliating result in our history. Ripped heart out of the team and no adequate replacements. Utter garbage.

  5. Wonder if Chris Sutton would have hobbled off in the position GS was in?

  6. Well, looks like it’s over for this year, Shaktar have at least one goal in them at Parkhead.

     

     

    Pointless blaming coaching or lack of transfers because that team was never going to lose against our lot, i would say we lacked courage all over the pitch today including one trick pony Lenny.

     

     

     

    It’s not over yet but it feels like it.

     

     

    Could’nt care less about new players now. over and out

    Even if Celtic get through this round and that is still a possibility, what we’ve seen tonight is not acceptable on so many levels

     

     

    Despite being mediocre at best, Celtic created chances that a proven goalscorer would have put away tonight, and the tie would have been over.

     

     

    We sell the spine of the team but don’t buy a striker, ffs we could have got Finbogasson for £5 million.

     

     

    The way things stand maybe it’s for the best if we don’t qualify for the group stages.

     

     

    I’m still too angry to be rational so please make allowances.

    Selling players to progress and improve the squad

     

     

    FFS this particular project isnae working

  9. NL exposed again at tactics. Not a very good plan A and absolutley no plan B.

     

    Can’t say its over but we do make it difficult for ourselves. Poor planning all round.I

  10. 16 roads - Wee Oscar the Celtic warrior. on

    Every player that the club sold during the summer wanted away.

  11. Celtic masterclass in possession passing across and backwards in two thirds of the park, with little penetration in final third. Karagandi masterclass in defending final third, fast and powerful penetration with what little possession they had and what else? – oh yes, scoring goals.

     

     

    Celtic were ponderous going forward and seemed determined to give the opposition time to organise defensively. How many times did we pass the ball through and past numerous Karagandi players only to turn back, square pass or pass backwards, and allow the opposition players back between ball and goal?

     

     

    Celtic have forgotten the basic principles, scoring goals wins games. We needed an away goal, Karagandi needed to come to Glasgow without conceding an away goal. Karagandi winners hands down tonight. If Karagandi score an away goal we need to score 4 goals.

     

     

    We looked like a team without a genuine goal threat, I wonder why?

  12. iPaddy McCourt Supports Wee Oscar on

    Europa League is now our level. In truth we’d get annihilated in the Champions League.

    Gutless shameful performance.

     

     

    ……………………………………………………..

     

     

    Just the players?

  14. CultsBhoy loves being 1st forever & ever on

    I still think this team are beatable at Celtic Park.

     

     

    Shameful performance tonight by all except Kris Commons..Brown was ok by his standards but not the leader we need at times of crisis.

     

     

    very disappointed

  15. If you’re criticising the team performance then base it on what you saw and not what the commentators said you saw.

     

     

    I saw one team that dominated and created many chances. Some of them very good. The other team created nothing but used their long ball, long throw tactic to get one goal and luck another.

     

     

    The result is bad, the performance is not. IMO.

    Sutton is a winner and was talented ….that costs …we won’t spend what it costs

  17. Paul67 et al

     

     

    Well one coach played to his team’s strengths and it paid off. We should have scored a goal somewhere along the line, but missed fairly good chances. Might have been worth Balde and Stokes, with Matthews on, in the last fifteen minutes but not to be. Shaktar are no Juventus but they did counter attack pretty well, especially when we gave the ball away cheap. Need two goals in ninety minutes next week. An early one would work wonders.

  18. Beamishismypint on

    People on here are angry because of the corporate strategy that has been well flagged. This didn’t come up today. People spend their hard earned cash on watching the team but can’t empathise with a corporate strategy rather than sporting ambition. Again, the next article will be very interesting. Can we just for once break the party line that the strategy being pursued is a wonderful formula?

  19. Beamishismypint…

     

     

    Agree with your post.

     

     

    Our greatest hope is that they are truly awful. A poor team whom I believe will crumble if we score early.

     

     

    But can we get that early goal?

    Embarrassing, enjoy your flight home in your big comfy plane ya shower of f*ckin sh*te they should walk home and let the fans who where there get the plane. Total let down gutted

     

     

    Sums up what has been a disgrace this blog has been today

  21. what a joke that was one word describes that performance INSIPID utter disgrace now we need to produce something we dont possess invention think we will need to be gung ho at paradise

  22. just makes it a bit harder for the return.. but the team must turn up and perform.

     

     

    No pass marks tonite, other than Commons, but he can’t do it on his own

  23. The club should refund the travel costs of the fans that have went over.

     

     

    And it’s not a striker we need. We had the only personal who can create something up on his own. We need a number 8 that can pick a pass.

     

     

    No point having a striker if we can’t get the ball to him.

     

     

    Love Neil Lennon, but those tactics are absolutely dire.

     

     

    Been same every game I’ve seen bar cliftonville away.

     

     

    Livid does not describe how I feel.

     

     

    Lennon, Sammi is not a striker.

  24. As much as its hurting everyone just now of that embarrassing display there won’t be one supporter inside Celtic park at 19.45 on Wednesday that doesn’t think we won’t do it HH

  25. Absolutely hopeless Celtic. A complete and utter disgrace..

     

     

    What makes it worse, is that this isn’t by accident, this is by design.

     

     

    We sold our best players before we qualifed for the Champions League proper.

     

     

    How short-sighted and stupid can you get?

     

     

    We sacrificed the product on the field for the sake of the accounts.

     

     

    You are a complete idiot Mr Peter Lawell.

     

     

    The buck stops at you.

     

     

    You and your like need to leave the team to people who first and foremostly care about what happens on the park.

  26. good news – that team will not hold out at celtic park. once we score 1 they will cave in . Makes for an exciting night eh?

     

     

    Tonight , NL needs to shoulder the blame. He complained about the timing of the scotland match and the affect on players yet he persisted with Forrest who i believe has been off form of late and clearly tiring and losing confidence (too much for one so young in terms of responsibility).

     

     

    Watt impressed with his sharpness against liverpool as did Balde – Balde gives us an out and allows time for a poor midfield to organize themselves.

     

     

    We can still do it but NL is at fault tonight – all in the learning process and all forgotten when we beat them 4-0 at home

  27. I’m off. Will stay clear of all celtic related media for a few days. Embarrassing and shameful doesn’t do justice to our performance on the pitch or on the sidelines the night. Our season hangs by a string.

    With the greatest of respect

     

     

    Ill take your namesake and WGS’ opinion over yours

     

     

    Carlisle was saying it as it is ….

  29. Hard to believe that we have Celtic men who are ’embarrassed’ by our club today.

     

     

    Bad day at the office. No more than that.

     

    Celtic did NOT play badly & were unlucky to lose by 2 goals.

     

    Matters nought to me. Results are fickle.

     

    I still think we can go through.

     

     

    If we dont, then I can live with a run in the Europa Cup, or whatever it is now called.

     

    … & if we lose in that, it will still not change my mindset.

     

     

    We will still have a healthy Celtic & a great future.

     

     

    We find out more about Celtic men when we lose than we do when we are winning.

     

     

    Proud of Glasgow Celtic CFC.

  30. What about the managers performance tonight?

     

     

    You know, team selection, tactics, substitutions?

     

     

    Pish????

     

     

    Emdy???

  31. I hope Andrew in Belfast has the server farm on maximum capacity this evening.

     

     

    We have had worse performances than this with Hooper and Wanyama in the team, but what surprised me was the lack of urgency and desire.

     

     

    Perhaps the luxury of the super jet and five star hotel has given some of our team the big time Charlie mentality. They looked to have forgotten that desire and work-rate are essential against a team who aspire to your level.

     

     

    A new central defensive pairing in a vital Champions League qualifier? Even Ian Black wouldn’t have stuck a tenner on that selection.
