  1. FF – excellent, one save to make and he did it well.

     

    Back four/five. Matthews still looking rusty, Fisher was uncomfortable at left back until the second half. Maybe he was given some instructions at half time. Efe and VVD are just brilliant. Don’t think Efe is getting enough credit because VVD is so awesome.

     

    Midfield. Brown is the weak link. He had a rotten game today, but even so, he’s way behind Commons, Johansen and Biton. There’s a wide right mid slot up for grabs. Biton is imperious. He reminded me of Petrov a lot. Breaking up play so many times. And also covering for VVD when he foraged forward.

     

     

    Stokes. Looked lively and more enthusiastic than I’ve ever seen. Goals come when you put in the effort and have the skill.

     

     

    Griffiths. Really looks to be enjoying being a Celtic player, but maybe trying too hard to impress. No need to. See above. And he definitely puts in the effort.

    Smoke bombs at the Arsenal game……get onto it, LL…..there might just be an English-based Celtic fan in amongst them……bless yeez

    Griffiths will have discovered today that, as a Celtic player, when you are only slightly onside

     

    you are in fact, offside.

    There’s one in Lambourn which says-“Slow down for the horses”

     

     

    Which is fair enough,they sure slow down for me.

    BMCUW,

     

     

    Don’t start me on signs. Seen one the other week, says “Caution – this sign has sharp edges.” Nothing else.

     

    ………………………

     

     

    Ha! Ha! Love it. If there had been no sign there would have been no need for the warning. Love it.

    Is that Andy Gray commentating at the Arsenal game….? …….

    BTW,why no mention of its pointy corners?

  8. Super sutton

     

     

    Agree with all of that. Brown today was most definitely the weakest link. Once Johanssen gets a full pre season under his belt and bulks up in the gym he is going to be so important for us next season. He does the horrible jobs like closing down and covering for others and when in possession is always looking for a forward pass. Dare I say he looks like a more attacking Kayal when he first arrived?

  9. Signs?

     

     

    A popular one here in Italy states:

     

     

    ‘In the event of a fire do not use the lift. Use the stairs.’

     

     

    HH!!

    I really enjoyed that today. Biton was superb and should start again next game. Tony Stokes, nice to see a treble from the much maligned boy.

     

     

    And welcome back to the Glorious Green Brigade.

  14. GlassTwoThirdsFull; sounds good, we look much stronger playing with a midfield diamond rather than wingers and Adam could certainly play there with Mikael overlapping

    Absolutely…..a great day all round ……. Notice how all the negatonians have strangely disappeared….but theeeey’ll be back, like a bad penny, bless them…..hehe

  16. Disgraceful how Howard Webb is ever allowed to referee matches involving Liverpool.

     

     

    He would put the biased Scottish refs to shame.

  17. Good evening all

     

     

    Good performance and result today. Thought Biton and Johansen were superb.

  18. It’s truly amazing the number of wrong offside awards we have had against us over the years. If in doubts with a Celtic player penalise the attacker.

     

    I say that going as far back as seeing I Bobby Lennox get the first of many disputed awards go against him against Liverpool in 1966. Nearly 50 years on and Leigh Griffiths found out today what happens when a hoops player is close to offside. No benefit of the doubt to the attacker. Seems it was always so.

     

     

    Two other observations from today.

     

    A much better crowd than the SMSM has been predicting all week BUT ,and what must be a cause for real concern for the money men, the Hospitality seats in 404 /5/6 have never been emptier IMO.

     

    Return of the GB made an enormous difference to the whole game giving a life and a sparkle in the stadium that’s been missing for weeks.

     

     

    Get it fixed all round, PL

    TOSB, BMCUW,

     

     

    H&S demanded it be taken down because it only had the warning on one side.

    No,just decided to watch the football and try to stay awake when my shift comes round.

     

     

    I reckon I can do the run wi my eyes shut,so I will put that theory to the test.

    Neil said he had been made aware by the Board earlier in the week that the GB would be in attendance today…?

    The GB bought their tickets last week without any discussions/negotiations with the club.

     

     

    Celtic realised what had happened during the week.

  25. Small sign in front of a large sign on M6 Toll road at Coleshill.

     

     

    ‘This sign is not in use’.

  26. TheOriginalSadiesBhoy on

    What a lift a good Celtic performance gives us all. We can see areas of the team where good partnerships are being formed, Efe and Virgil, Nir and Stefan. I think it is vital though that we start hanging on to players for longer. We can maybe afford to let one go per season but it would be unforgivable if both Fraser and Virgil were allowed to leave in the summer. Virgil must stay for at least another season. We need to find a better balance between team development and developing players for sale.

    Thought Biton and Johansen looked a very, very good central midfield pairing.

     

     

    Biton reminded me of how Neil Lennon used to play. He is positionally switched on, reads the game superbly and puts out fires before they get started with his timely interventions. He keeps it nice and simple and very rarely gives the ball away. All good teams need a player like that. I hope he plays every week from now until the end of the season as he’ll be a key member of the squad going into the Champions League qualifiers.

     

     

    I really like the look of Johansen. He is full of running and always wants to do something positive when in possession. I thought he and Biton complemented each other’s play very well. Early days but the signs are good.

     

     

    Where does that leave Scott Brown? Right midfield or on the bench, frankly. I like him but he doesn’t have the discipline or game intelligence to be ahead of Biton or Johansen in the central positions. Just my opinion.

  28. BMCUW

     

     

    :-)) liked that reply. Blether the mo kiddo. :)) Someone mention earlier that the GB will be in the Main Stand for the next home game. Hope so, that’s where I sit. Whoohoo.
