  1. If all Celtic nights were like this one.

     

    If Black Rum & Guinness were free.

     

    If all Rangers men were like Edward,

     

    What a wonderful world this would be.

     

     

     

    Any time you’re ready, God.

     

    …& Thanks.

    Agreed, Commons was hugely influential tonight.

     

     

    I’ve been critical of him at times but I also thought Izzy had a great game.

  3. Superb tonight. Once again, an absolute pleasure be to at a European game at Celtic Park.

     

     

    Magnificent from Neil, and I thought Sammi was utterly immense.

     

     

    We missed Victor big time, but incredible effort from the team and fans.

     

     

    I want Juve.

    Izzy

     

     

    you are a disgrace

     

    =========

     

    Doesn’t matter now that we are in the last 16.

  5. As for not posting for a while there are two reasons, the last time I came on to congratulate friends on here real life as well as cyber there were a few posters like yourself so rather than cause trouble I cut down on my time on the site.

     

     

    >If we’re being petty, there’s a few grammatical errors in there btw.

     

     

    But anyway, you blame people like me for not posting so much, as well as you’re good deeds for the amateur football circuit.

     

     

    Ok

     

     

    Well since we have you here. Do you think Rangers were guilty….. Or are you of the opinion that your club has been exonerated?

  6. Anybody got any celebrity tweets congratulating the ‘tic?

     

     

    I get a great feeling of pride when other ex pro’s and current players sing our praises.

  7. Neil Francis Lennon, unable to watch the penalty to take us through to the last 16? YOU ARE AWFUL……but I like you!

     

    Keep the Euro millions coming in!!

    Think Ambrose was just playing against a player who was stronger, better and faster than he was

     

     

    Agree re Kayal …still looks as if he lacking in match practice

     

     

    Although I thought Izzy played very well considering he’s had little football for a month …

    Stringer Bell

     

     

    Less of the cheek pal.

     

     

    Have you seen him make any post at all in the last 6 month? Why now?

     

     

    ————-

     

     

    To say well done?

     

     

    If he was at the noise up,our shite domestic form would have presented ample opportunity to gloat.

     

     

    Read the tea leves, your in a minority of one.

     

     

    P.S. are you a teacher? Only that no one has ever said ” less of the cheek” to me since I was at school.

  10. BIG-CUP-WINNERS on

    This team and Lenny have something that other good Celtic outfits missed out on. I can state it categorically, it’s bottle.

    you are a disgrace

     

     

    >Ok Im a disgrace.

     

     

    Why is that then ?

     

     

    Im waiting.

  12. Frosty the snowman was a jolly happy soul,

     

    With a corncob pipe and a button nose

     

    And two eyes made out of coal.

     

    Frosty the snowman is a fairy tale, they say,

     

    He was made of snow but the children

     

    Know how he came to life one day.

     

    There must have been some magic in that

     

    Old silk hat they found.

     

    For when they placed it on his head

     

    He began to dance around.

     

    O, Frosty the snowman

     

    Was alive as he could be,

     

    And the children say he could laugh

     

    And play just the same as you and me.

     

    Thumpetty thump thump,

     

    Thumpety thump thump,

     

    Look at Frosty go.

     

    Thumpetty thump thump,

     

    Thumpety thump thump,

     

    Over the hills of snow.

    Scotlands Shame – well said re Gary Hooper. I’m sick reading about his poor application, bad attitude and lack of interest….complete and utter bollox!

     

    He’ll leave us next summer for a right good price and do a job in the EPL.

     

     

    Ed U – long time no hear. Hope all is well with you and your family.

     

    Stick to the Ayrshire Junior scene, as you are well out of the ongoing farce over Govan way. It has a long and convoluted way to run yet!

     

    Hope to see you posting more often, but somehow I doubt that will be the case. That’s a pity, as you were a notable contributor during the early history of this fine blog.

  14. I cannot do this walking from CP to St Enochs normally but tonight I was walking on air. Well done to the players, staff and fans. I did think we only needed a draw when I heard the big cheer just after half time and it was only when I seen the scoreboard that I realised the win was essential. Anyway now sat nicely in my sons warm flat partaking of a very large Glenmorangie.

     

    Now to plan my trip ( convince the wife that it is essential) to either Madrid or Malaga.

     

    Hail Hail my Celtic family, god, whoever it may be, bless you all.

  15. The Blueprint ‏@Blueprint_Bear

     

    It’s the truth. Qualifying from the easiest group in Champions League history is no achievement. You know it and I know it.

    I would be the poster to whom you refer the last time on here.

     

     

    As far as I remember I didn’t have a problem with you personally, I could check back as I have them all from that night.

     

     

    I still can’t fathom why anyone would want to support a sectarian club, but, your choice, and I have no real problem with that, each to their own.

     

     

    As it turned out, there were a few posters who decided that I wasn’t worth talking to as they preceived my posts as an attack on you, they weren’t intended as a personal attack, they were intended as an attack on the sectarian club you support, and for that I make no apologies.

     

     

    Your post tonight was admirable.

  17. On 60 minutes, a few aulder heads in our CSC agreed we needed to make a change but no one could think of the right player to bring off. All great.

     

     

    I’m glad Kris Commons is all right. I’m glad we did it under our own steam.

  19. Nerveshreddin’, heartbangin’, mindnumbin’, crazypavin’, mindslammin’ bungiejump intae the last 16 of the well recognised toughest team competition on the planet.

     

    An achievement and and a half.

     

    Well done to all involved.

     

    HH!

  20. 'crushed nuts?' 'Naw, Layringitis!' on

    wasn’t able to watch or listen to the game tonight because someone needed 100% attention, kicked every ball, this is a team, no Wanyama, still did it, Chelsea and Man City are ‘up the road!!’ last 16, I’ll bet every other manager doesn’t want us, why? because we’re CELTIC!!!! GIRFUY!!”!!!!!!!

  21. jude2005 is Neil Lennon \o/ on

    Big samii was MOTM all night long. Liked the way Aiden fouled him twice to take the pressure off us!!

  22. Wall to wall Neg Anon after the draw with Arbroath. Must have posted 50 times

     

     

    Any sign tonight???

  23. Izzy do you expect the whole world to see things the way you do and support Celtic?

     

     

    Go to some of the Hibs websites and take them up on the criticisms, many well founded, that they have of Celtic and Celtic fans.

     

     

    Anyone can be a good winner.

     

    the world is full of bad losers. Nothing wrong with that.

     

    But bad winners are rare.

     

     

    EU will still support his team tomorrow. No matter what you say.

  24. Welcome back Edward, nice of you to pop in. Some people on here need to appreciate that charitable work and donations are not purely a Celtic domain.

     

    I thought Källström should have seen red earlier with a tackle on Beram but the ref played the advantage and failed to go back to the incident. Had he done so he might have spared Kris Commons from that brutal tackle.

     

    I also thought the bold Aiden made a couple of late rash challenges that did us a favour and allowed us to keep possession late on, whether these were intentional or not is open to debate ;-)

    He always runs while others walk; He acts while other men just talk. He looks at this world and wants it all So he strikes like Thunderball [ Lyrics from: http://www.lyricsfreak.com/t/tom+jones/

     

     

    thunderball_20138376.html ] He knows the meaning of success; His needs are more so he gives less. They call him the winner who takes all And he strikes like Thunderball

     

     

    Any woman he wants, he’ll get; He will break any heart without regret

     

     

    His days of asking are all gone; His fight goes on, and on, and on. But he thinks that the fight is worth it all; So he strikes like Thunderball

     

     

    STANDING UP FOR NEIL LENNON

    I’d let it go mate. I understand you’re passion and the way you rail at the way Edward is received. I never could understand how any decent person could align themselves with that loathsome club. But the guy seems genuine and hatred is never the answer.

  27. Saint,Stivs – Thank you for your warm welcome, but perhaps you would consider that the 54 is part of my user name, as the year of my birth, and for NO other reason.

    Every time I go to Nitra people tell me Lubo was in the pub I go into but he left ten minutes ago _ think I am cursed.

     

     

    We are the no. 1 fans here though.

    I’m a big fan of Izaguirre, and I haven’t yet seen a replay of the Spartak goal, but there was a heck of a lot of space in the left full back position…. although, looked like a remarkable finish.

     

     

    I’m with PFayr – Eminike is an usually effective forward. Doubt we could ever hope to afford him, but that’s the kind of player we need imo for these knife edge European ties.

     

     

    I’ll take anyone in the next round except PSG.

     

     

    Isn’t it marvellous to be able to say that!

     

     

    Splendid. Marvellous. Having a party :¬)
