Please ghuys, don´t post links.
It´ll get our host into trouble.
So far so good, but like against the Pars I would lik ea third so that I can relax a wee bit here.
For all my fears about the ref before the game, he seems to be very decent — I hope he continues in the same vein…
Another excellent first-half from Celtic. Samaras man-of-the-match so far with 1 goal, 1 assist and creating chances for his team-mates.
We need the third goal just to put it to bed.
Looking good Celtic.
guys , leave the streams out of your posts .

cheers lol coppers will be chapping me and your door oops need to go answer the door lol..
Wee worry the way Forster waits on the ball coming to him at corners. Sumdae is gonny nip in in front of him.
Laura Brannan’s eyes follow you round the room. I’m not complaining, though!

Listening on radio is murder. Keevins desperately trying to talk up St Mirren and talk us down.
What a creep this man is.
Come on Hoops….couple more early on and shut them all up.
Relax matey they’re scumbags who will go to any lengths to pay the mortgage and winning hurts them more.
Carrigan
Ah agree,Pal
Stokesy and Hooper.. are the culprits..
They have bin the cause of Many attacks breaking Down
By the way.. Ah don’t like Stokesy..
Hooper.
Hem..
He is no the Same Player that he wiz…
He is going throught A dreadful Sophomore Year..
Let’s Hope. he gets his Confidence Back.

HT Celtic 2-0 St Mirren
The Bhoys got off to a great start with two goals inside 7 minutes. The goals came from creating good pressure going forward with Sammi the stand out. First goal was a bit of a gift but it was a solid shot from Sammi that the keeper will feel he should have saved. Second goal was well worked down the left between Sammi and Stokes and Hooper was left with a tap in. St Mirren to their credit continued to play their passing game but look shaky at the back and lack firepower up front. After 20 mins we slowed the game down and struggled to create any more chances. Excellent performances from Forster, the back 4, Victor and Sammi.
This game is not over at 2-0. We need to get a third and Lenny will have to get them back out playing as if it is 0-0.
Apols on the link – I’m new…….
Nollaig – county (south). Yerself????
Inside Paradise
Similar to midweek, let’s have some second half goals. Sammi’s lucky green boots and Victor Wanyama are the stand outs.
Another Paradise windfall passes me by.
Ho Hum
Thoughts to the Mulgrew family today. YNWA BIG MAN
Good 1st Half performance, Samaras doing what we know he is capable of, although he has gone a wee bit quiet since he took the knock to his ankle.
Now for the killer 3rd goal……
Hail Hail

You don’t have to keep repeatin yoursel when it comes to Antony
gsu
who would like yer mair if ye laid off Stokesy
St Mirren have had a lot of the ball in that first half. I think we need a third player in midfield, because they are knocking it around far too freely.
Hooper should have scored – good save by the keeper.
Hooper, almost!
WARNING – long post.
Great first half bhoys – Sami on fire…
Here is my response to the latest nonsense from BBC Scotland re the cup final:
Dear Ms Tristram,
Many thanks for your e-mail correspondence and the attachments.
Whilst I am unable to comment on behalf of other complainants, the document summarising responses to the letters of the 9th and 10th November appear to fairly represent the majority of the points I had raised.
I also note that the wide range of responses this document summarises have one important commonality; they are all restricted to a commentary, as invited, on the “factual accuracy and completeness” (your mail of 10th November) of Ms O’Brien’s report to the Committee (ESC (11) 147).
Unfortunately, this cannot be said of the document entitled ‘BBC Scotland Response’. In part A. Background Notes, point 2 BBC Scotland inaccurately attribute complainants as claiming that neither “Celtic FC nor its fans have ever been subject to investigation over terracing songs or chants”. The complainants had actually noted that, unlike Rangers FC, Celtic and its supporters had never been subject to censure for “sectarian singing” (see Point 17 of ESC (11) 147). It seems even in its responses to Ms O’Brien’s report BBC Scotland cannot resist the temptation to obfuscate matters.
Furthermore, and more worryingly, BBC Scotland then proceed to introduce a whole swathe of issues in points 2 and 4 and appendices A, B, C, E, F and G which post-date the broadcast in question, cannot have had any impact on the decision-making at that time and therefore are not relevant to the issue at hand. Frankly, even had Celtic FC been censured for sectarian singing by its supporters since the Cup Final broadcast, which of course it has not, that would not render use of the phrase “Celtic supporters have been singing some sectarian songs” as fair and accurate at the time of the broadcast. The references to a subsequent UEFA investigation into “illicit chanting” and a similar investigation by the SPL into Celtic supporters are additionally irrelevant since neither concern “sectarian singing”; indeed it is surely a tacit admission of its previous inaccuracy that BBC Scotland has been so careful to describe these events in terms other than “sectarian”.
In point 4 BBC Scotland make the claim that “the addition of the phrase ‘Provisional Wing’ after the line “I joined the IRA’ is a regular add-on to the song as sung on the terracings, rather than something that is “sometimes” added”. No evidence whatever is provided to support this claim.
The article by Joan McAlpine also referenced in point 4 is written after the broadcast was made and simply establishes that one Scottish MSP believes the distinction between political and sectarian singing is “disingenuous”. In the same article Ms McAlpine acknowledges that “The Boys of the Old Brigade was played this year when the Queen visited Dublin” and that, from the loyalist tradition “An old favourite such as The Sash is a celebration of religious and political identity which does not advocate attacking Catholics”. For Ms McAlpine the difficulties arising from the singing of what she confirms are “folk songs” is “one of context”. Since “Rugby fans don’t attack each other after singing the Flower of Scotland” she advocates that “different rules (should) apply to different situations”. Whatever one might think of Ms McAlpine’s views, they do not support a contention that The Boys of the Old Brigade is a sectarian song.
Similarly, the views of Peter Lawwell, Neil Lennon and Paul McBride additionally referenced in point 4 are equally subsequent to, and of no relevance to the broadcast and the nature of the complaints. They all refer to these individual’s views on the singing of songs or chants with references to the IRA by Celtic supporters. None of the individuals concerned makes reference to these or any other songs or chants by Celtic supporters as being “sectarian” in nature.
Alongside many Celtic supporters, I recognise that there is a legitimate debate about the singing of political songs at a football match but that is a wholly unrelated matter. McClean’s comment was inaccurate and unfair. It cannot be made otherwise by referencing the views of people who feel political songs should not be sung by Celtic supporters. Again, the fact that BBC Scotland seem to believe that these views somehow mean it can merely emphasises the problem. BBC Scotland might dislike the song The Boys of the Old Brigade, they might feel it should not be sung at a football match but this does not give them any right to describe the singing of this song as “sectarian”.
It seems to me wholly unacceptable that BBC Scotland can present evidence to the Committee that has no direct bearing on the matter under consideration. I would ask, for this reason, that Part A of their paper and the appendices A, B, C, E, F be considered as inadmissible and withdrawn. I have no objection to Part B and appendix D being forwarded to the Committee. If for whatever reason that is not feasible I would strongly contend that the complainants be given the time and opportunity to collate additional evidence of their own that is contextual rather than directly relevant. If neither solution is allowed I would consider the process as totally flawed. I look forward to hearing from you.
Yours,
WWC
I share the concern about Foster at corners St Mirren have got the range right – 4 have gone right down his throat – last one he was foued – but that won’t happen everytime – oh Hoops nearly scored
Great chance for Hooper, last minute save.
Hooper nearly scores
Lovely cut back from Sami after good build up between him and Stokes – no-one there to take advantage
Kayal shot straight at the keeper – great build up again
By the way,fellas,I was speaking to my Dad earlier about how we took our foot off the gas in midweek-he was raging!
I pointed out that if the game is won,we do NOT need any heroes going for 50/50s.
Not with our injury list,and NOT with our schedule.
Points make prizes,playing to the gallery can sometimes give you a round of applause on a stretcher.
Time to be pragmatic,unfortunately.
ledley havin a stormer at left full
So what was exact k.o time?
Kayal comes close. Lenny has them fired up for this.
You know what… Ledley is an awesome LB!
Take a bow son.
tbdJ
G B drowning out McLean and Mc Leod. Bliss sheer BLISSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS Come on G B!!!
Funereal tones throughout from shortbread’s finest hungimp..
Rab the mouth mclean whose animated commentary the opening
3 minutes of the buddies ‘domination’ quickly dissolved to his usual
State of hungimp of insouciance and abject reluctance to fairly portray
any aspect of Celtic’s dominance.
Kojo…get a life and support Celtic just like the Green Brigade.
HH
Sami shot from about 20 yards saved by the keeper
The Bhoys have come out with the right attitude – taking the game to them and looking to finish it off
We have come out flying this half
