Deprioritised game ends predictably

601

Send out your B Team for an away game after losing at home and you should not be disappointed in the outcome.  The first half was as unstructured a performance as we have seen since the summer.  The pitch, which was terrible, can only take so much responsibility.

Stephen Welsh had a nervous return to the side, one of several poor passes fell short of Nir Bitton and led to the opening goal.  The second was perhaps the poorest of the many Celtic lost across both legs.  Bodo/Glimt didn’t so much break as saunter forward.  Anthony Ralston watched the ball, not the player peeling off behind him.  Nir Bitton was skin-tight to Vetlesen, but also watched the ball, and allowed his man time to cushion a shot into the net.  It was all too easy for Bodo.

Ange, you made your call, we all know this was one you deprioritised, we will all forgive you if the masterplan comes together.  Rather this than sorry tales come May.

  3. Is an teatman part of the kevj/park the bus/sceptical/Ahmad Tay tirad of crap? Makes my posts look reasonable. Why do we allow such a right wing fascist to post to this blog and then argue with a left wing version of them selves? The old USSR would never have done what Putin does now. Stalin was evil but Lenin was a good man. He was a fair dictator and did not oppress his people or steal their freedoms. To bad Stalin with his “socialism in one country” took over from him. Putin is the modern Stalin only with neoliberal economic model.

  4. Has our Tory board asked fascist Uefa for a refund of our fines for the green Brigade’s political displays?

     

     

    OK to have Ukrainian political displays but not Palestinian.

     

     

    Seems fair.

  5. After 8 days of this stupid covid I am delighted to be good a fit to return to humanity ….. and to go to the game tomorrow.

     

     

    Given my personal recent track record at Easter Rd , and my sons enthusiasm for my ticket I have decided in the interests of not jinxing our league challenge, I will watch it on telly.

  6. SAINT STIVS on 26TH FEBRUARY 2022 7:41 PM

     

    Here is a pure random observation , did Kenny Dal ever score a goal for celtic in european cup competitions ? i cant find any.

     

     

    Away to Rosenborg in 1972 and then 2 in next round against Ujpest.

     

    there maybe more, I just checked that season, Saint.

  7. Will We win tomorrow? Wonder if hate starts surely he must. Maybe give doak a game too instead of Turing to forest who is a legend but his time has passed, he no longer has the athleticism and speed he once possessed. You don’t get 100 goals and assists if you are rubbish but he’s no longer the same player

  8. An T

     

     

    It was that game for sure.

     

     

    I remember we got let out of school early and our homework was

     

     

    ‘to go home and watch the Celtic arts performing in Hungary’.

     

     

    Jim Brogan I remember had a great game that night. And wee Lou.

    Play that team every game and we win the league. Kyogo for abada when fit

  10. park the bus 442 on

    Mark McGhee handed his ass by Livi lol.

     

    There’s not many who’ve faired much better vs Livi especially us.

     

    McGhee dropped 3points.

     

    Ange has dropped 4 points?? might be more I’ve forgotten in all of the ‘Ange ball’ excitement against Livi.

     

    Surely McGhee needs to, park the bus and hit on the break, style of fitba??

     

    Not that many care.

     

    But maybe they should care, about Ange, Rob McLean now and again subtly dropping in the line….

     

    “Its pretty congested, and Ange Postecoglu only knows one way to play….”

     

    as much as,…..

     

    “Ange has been well sussed, and here’s more evidence…”

     

    laughing up his cuff!!

     

    Hartson and Sutton sound as if they’ve been brainwashed by the “Celtic View Pravda” bullsh*t??

     

    Its better to be a shady, deep, horses for courses, type of wideo , that keeps the swamp guessing, then shock thum, like Luigi at Ibrox with no Celtic fans allowed, park the bus and blooter it up to Simon Donnelly, he’ll hold up the play till, Collins, McGinley, etc, ghost their way into the box getting free kicks in John Collins area, Collins blooters it into the hun net, celebrate like fk, get awe the rabid huns growling at their ain brethren, then same again, bus parked, blooter the baw up to Simon Donnelly, he gets pulled doon awe the time, but only a couple of times would Celtic get a free kick, keep it going, keep it going, keep it going, then the ugly huns scrape a deflected equalizer aff Tony Mowbray’s back, with a handful of minutes to go, then it finishes at 1-1.

     

    Walter Smith (RIP) said that “Celtic got what they deserved playing that way….” throwing the pram full of toys oot the windae etc, not any acknowledgement that the huns were just about to win 6 in a row playing that way most of the time?? but they didny like it up them, especially fae an uppity Tim like, Lou Macari’s, educated in the “Jock Stein” (RIP) way of negotiating issues and making hun heids explode type of way, (((THAT))), is the real Celtic Way, we have to be ‘tricky Mickys’ always.

     

    Macari’s Celtic team, cobbled together despite a few injuries, Maestro, etc, etc, howevvvvaaaah, Macari sent out the message, “The Celtic Way”, dizny work without, Jinky, Murdy, Bertie, Stevie, Buzz bomb, King Kenny, Danny McGrain, etc, so stop trapping ourselves, “Oh but, we’re Celtic” they’ll awe say, but thur awe wrang, Celtic isny a team that keeps getting turned over and over and over and over, and dizny learn how to ‘Not’ get turned over, because of ‘Ange ball’ outside the Scottish puddle league, and Ange gets us mugged and mugged and mugged and mugged and mugged, then they’ll awe say “But we need to rest players cause we’ve got Hibs to play!” really?? but I thought we were ‘Celtic’ ?? so this version of ‘Celtic’ goes onto the pitch vs a European team in the Euro 3rd division, and going by the hindsight evidence this version of ‘Celtic’ would’ve been better phoning it in to Bodo that “We’re terrified to try a leg against you Mr Bodo cause we’ve to play Hibs on Sunday.” I’d guess that this version of Tims are now watching the the slow ‘Ange ball’ car crash, big sneering face John Kennedy in the dug out the other night as if he knows we’re going to crash and he also knows that there is a PLC who’ll sit and watch the crash, then act shocked, but not frightened, what have they got to fear?? A collapse and 53,000 will be on the, Celtic Way, bunches of flowers for Mrs Ange, “Ange Must Stay” tee-shirts and flags, etc, etc, “We’ll Be There For You Ange, This Is Your Home”, etc, ect, whilst the cute huns will be tooling up with the £40 million that ‘oor Ange” just missed out on because he only knows one song, but lovely, gentle, everybody’s mugs Timmy’s, will love ‘Ange ball’ forever “Give Ange Another 3 Transfer Windows At The Very Least” they’ll sing in one of their familiar songs that takes about 7 verses before it gets to the point and and on and on and on, ‘THIS’ is who we’ve become.

     

    Wake the fk up.

    Is an teatman part of the JHB/ kevj/park the bus/sceptical/Ahmad Tay tirad of crap?

     

     

    No.

     

    I have been saying about blog intrusion by those above since day1

     

    Jhb/tommy is a known troll.he has his team here and as you have read this last week definitely not here for Celtic

     

     

    And next time I see you in the lounge we can discuss that and it may end up with renditions of Celtic songs

     

    I have no inhibitions of meeting Celts like yourself,like I have done previously in lounges or at corner.

     

     

    All things Celtic,a club were refugees are welcome and racism in any form is stood on.

     

    Catch up soon,ps here since 2007,this moniker 2010

  12. I dont think Abramovich has gone far, the trustees have former Chairman Bruce Buck, a former Tory MP Sir Hugh Robertson and the Football club Finance director Paul Ramos among their number.

     

     

    So in my opinion he will still be there and working them from the back, seize his UK assets.

  13. lets all do the huddle on

    aye, looking at abramoviches statement

     

     

    he has done nothing of much material difference to him

     

     

    he is a shite bag

     

     

    lets hear his thoughts on what his leader is doing

     

     

    he should have his assets frozen right now

     

     

    but boris wont do it

  14. Sorry An tearman just thought u sounded a bit like him. How is it I say his name and he appears like beetle juice.

    I remember the Horvath ok more than any other. He tried to intercept a cross on his own 18 yard line and diverted it into his own net.

     

     

    P.s. Horvath is a name derived fro Croatian /Hrvatska origin.

     

     

    Long live Ukraine!

  16. lets all do the huddle on

    is there a better sportsman to watch when he is in full swing than ronnie o’sullivan?

     

     

    i dont think so

  17. Should the UK send troops in to stop mad Putin? Call there bluff and hope to god putin has more sense than firing the nukes and starting a chain of events that leaves the world poliuted with radiation.

  18. EPL tonight has Aston Villa, Leicester and Newcastle in 12th, 13th and 14th position. Looks like Howe appt is starting to make sense.

    i dont think so. Henrik Larsson and Lubomir morvacik. Kyogo Furahashi. Thinking about post O’Neil we haven’t had many stars at the exact same level. Abada and Jota best wingers in a long time. I thought elynoussi was worth keeping but they are better.

    Indeed jim,seem to recall k.o was about 4pm-ish and was live on telly. The return was 1-1 at our ground.

     

     

    I think they got revenge a few years later when we beat them 2-1,loosing away 3-0 going out 4-2 .

     

    Hungarians were tough teams then,early to mid 70s.

  22. Poland boycotting Russia football match and all the grounds wearing the Ukraine flag, isn’t this like the Torries clapping the NHS workers but refusing to pay them a decent wage?

    Buck is Abramovitch’s lawyer.

     

     

    The Liverpool fans are going to have a field day tomorrow.

  25. Lets All

     

     

    Ronnie on his game is like nothing else in his game. One of the finest ever sights on the smaller green baize was when Jimmy White and Alex Higgins were playing the US in the Mosconi cup. They beat two of ‘Merica’s greats all while drinking beer, smoking cigs and having a right good laugh attempting outrageous shots.

     

     

    https://youtu.be/qoJbOOwEUVA – if you have 45 minutes.

  26. Tim Malone Will Tell on

    Notable that Abramovitch hasn’t passed ownership – only “stewardship” whatever the hell that is supposed to mean.

     

    Sequestrate his assets (that sounds painful) and kick his gangster arse back to Moscow.

  27. My friend AT.

     

     

    You are such a gentle person to meet.

     

     

    Please stop calling other people “scum” on this blog. It Iill befits you.

     

     

    Long live Ukraine!

    Deary me!

     

    The entire western media cheering this 👆 on and UK media who lied 24/7 about Jeremy Corbyn for 5 years of smearing, without evidence, now cheering on Nazi’s and most Celtic supporters now stand with the fake media, all because Russia is no longer run by leaders who lie drunk on the floor whilst the world dipped Russia’s pockets!!

     

    Now Russia has a new leader who isn’t lying drunk on the floor, and the thieving, looting, pillaging, western imperialists, UK USA EU, can’t handle the fact that Russia isn’t their mug anymore, now Russia has formed an alliance with the most powerful countries in the world, and the west is crumbling, all the West’s leader’s are pound shop dictators, only Bojo hasn’t been a tyrant to his people, imagine that?? The UK media…

     

    Lied for 5 years about Corbyn

     

    Lied for 2 years about a virus??

     

    Now their lying about Russia, and the dim Tims stand shoulder to shoulder with those media liars.

     

    NATO were told not to cross the line, by Russia.

     

    Nato did cross the line, and Russia has protected its people.

     

    Nato, like any other imperialist doesn’t like it up them!!

     

    Tough.
