That’s five consecutive wins after the post-isolation debacle in January but Aberdeen have never come closer to scoring in their six games without a goal than at Celtic Park last night. The game was decided by the excellent 30-yard strike from David Turnbull that found the corner of the net and the almost-as-good shot from Aberdeen’s Kamberi that struck the post.
Celtic mastered the opening 30 minutes as Aberdeen were content to sit off, but there was no fluidity to our passing from the moment the visitors pressed. This run of wins is as much as we can ask of the team right now, but it was far from reassuring.
I don’t think I have seen as big a contrast in a player’s performance when he switches positions than that of Ryan Christie, who looks like a £20m player in the No. 10 role and appears anonymous on the right. For a whole raft of reasons, it is right to retain David Turnbull in the 10 role, but Ryan needs to do his work in the middle of the field. When he stops deputising for injured James Forrest he should be cover for Turnbull or Neil needs to find him a deeper role.

ADI_DASSLER NOT FOR 2ND BEST on 18TH FEBRUARY 2021 10:13 PM
Pure amazin what a fortnight’s proper coaching can do 😂
I’ll give the huns their due……..they are ultra fit…….so fit in fact its dubious………remember that team had SEVEN out……they are very well organised…….and to be fair…..they keep buying up grades on previous…..something we never seem to do.

In fairness, they could only really have bought upgrades since they started.

Feck it, but you are probably right. Celtic lack real tactical awareness and fitness. BTW how sad to see NFL putting the boot into French Eddie – keep that stuff in house, especially when French Eddie has kept silent on it. Sad – poor workman blaming his tools.
Sorry, I accept that questions should be asked about where the new club get the money.

What did he say about eddy?

I don’t mean to be rude, but I am off to bed – work tomorrow, but he went on about Eddie expected to leave in the summer etc, even if he did, he didn’t go public with it. His dip in form was probably more to do with the general crisis that hit the whole club etc. Plus he got Covid-19 and so on. I just don’t think NFL should shift the blame to a potentially fabulous footballer to say NOT MY FAULT.

Alex Thomson just tweeted this:
Rangers – You can break your silence any time you want. Do what Celtic appear too scared to do, sit down, give
@Channel4News an interview and face your past. You know where I am.

He’d be better asking the liquidator for an interview.
Legally the outfit he is addressing has absolutely no responsibility for any abuse carried out.
Big Aribo blessing himself.Another fine upstanding Fella,along with Barasic.
Those thinking the Hun played well,they had 7 players out tonight.
BTW that is only my opinion – could well be crap. Not the end of the world. Off now and just to say – sorry if I offended anyone. In our own way we hopefully want what is best for the Celtic.

Well, thats where they’ve referred victims, so why not Alex Thomson.
Scullybhoy
Thanks
I assume that the insurers would have a clause that prohibits Celtic from commenting on cases.
I see Jullien’s away home to France
I suspect he will not be returning and we will take a bath on his £7m

What I don’t understand about this is why the victims don’t sue the old company, (they can get it restored to the companies register for this purpose if necessary) assuming they had insurance cover.

What, and get in the queue behind the face painter?

Quite looking forward to a 7:30 kick
off.

What do you mean re Julliene?
POR CIERTO on 18TH FEBRUARY 2021 10:35 PM
I think AT is referring to both clubs not willing to give him an interview por cierto
i thinK he is being ‘press’ his job!
in the knowledge both cant as there are onģoing law against both.
i think tho as a reporter the clashin one off the other over this subject matter is a low
hh

Not if there is insurance cover.
Looking forward to see if Perseverance can find signs of life. More chance of that than finding intelligent life over at the bigot dome.

Jullien went back to France for treatment
He will not play again this season due to genuine injury
But the noises he made when Ntcham went bacj, coupled with his injury behaviour at the start of the year tells me he is out of here
Good morning cqn from an eerily calm (weather wise) Garngad
Anyone seen that extinct species, a binman???
We were due an uplift last Saturday and because of the weather they understandably never turned up, but they are taking the piss now.
5 days behind they say aye right.
Anyway.
We move onto Dingwall and lets see what numbers get picked from the “playing numbers Roulette wheel”? Where it stops is anyone’s guess, roll up, roll up.
Big Jullienne going back to France, I hope we have isolation in place and testing for him when he comes back.
Can he not get the care/rehab here? Again why during a pandemic fly out of here?
Right shower then into work early and a wee half day.
Stay safe peeps

Oh and another thing:-
See that Rover Perseverance did they not fit it with a colour camera? Initial photos are black and white, why?😂

A find on Mars….
I am a bit late to the ” HORNBY” of Aberdeen party..in relation to his name, and apologises if any of my suggestions have already been posted ?
Is he being ” Coached” ?
Have Aberdeen provided him with a ” Platform” ?
is he ” Mobile” or just ” Stationary” ?
Does Hornby play ” SLEEPER” ?
I will now go and get ma coat…apologises.
HH.
I need to get out more…OH….. Haud oan a minute ?
HH.
Ive asked this before…apologises…
Has anyone EVER seen Alex Rae and ” QUARK” from TV Show Star Trek in the same room at the same time ?
How ugly can one guy get ?
LOL.
HH.

Big Jimmy – :)

Alex Rae and Quark – genius!
We don’t need no drama queens…adieu Jullien.

I agree, I doubt we’ll have any French players by the summer and we’ll lose £ on Julienne and Ntcham but might just break even on Eddie. What an Absolute shambles, 12 months or so ago we would have been expecting something close to 50m Euro for the three of them.
Things move fast when you are a dysfunctional team and business.
Great asset management Celtic.
