Not playing – directly proportional to – how good you are…

Tricoloured Ribbon. Ross County will only be cannon fodder if we can convert the chances we make and we have not been doing that lately.Griffiths to get a hatrick that will be hard for him if he is sitting on the bench.H.H.
……..
Precisely Joe.How Ronny can’t see he is a natural poacher is beyond me.
You only have to look at his goal scoring record especially at Hibs to confirm it.
He would be the first name on my teamsheet in every game.
Really enjoyed the game today.
I thought we played some terrific stuff and at a good tempo.
Guidetti penalty claim
wee Gordon was spot on…as an attacker you want it but as a defender you would be unhappy. So fair enough..Some you win some you lose.
Scepovic goal
UNBELIEVABLY BAD DECISION.
Defensively we still have some work to do.
Big chips bang on with his analysis only missing out that VVD was slow coming out at first goal and played cifti onside.
Leigh deserves a start…great attitude.
Ronnie will have to figure out the defence and I will be a happy clapper.
It was like a game from the eighties and with the death of the hun exactly what we need ..A challenge from the east. It could be an exciting league.
was wee Lorraine Kelly there today, she’s a wee smasher
Referee was a disgrace but what do we expect from SFA?
Just as well that we have our shortcomings exposed while we are top of the league and not in a cup game.
I remember Cetlic losing by the same score twice in a season. We didn’t lose another game though!
AR-Compare it to the yellow card LG got,ridiculous decision
Kevj…….they have got to be worth a try,but I feel we’ll need
to bring in someone,really feel sorry for the young fan,their
desperate for a hero.

Really funny, like a bit of satire myself.

Do you, aye?
You wouldn’t say that if we got a laughable penalty at Tynecastle or if Sevco ever got drawn against Dundee United in the Scottish Cup. Stuff like that never happens!
If a player makes a mistake in front of goal, it can and does cost him money.
Winning bonus may be lost, he can be dropped.
If a referee has a poor game he picks up his game fee, regardless.
So let’s have a radical plan
Fine referees or linemen 100 pounds for each game changing decision they get wrong.
I reckon the standard and even handed ness would improve
IMMEDIATELY.
yeeeeees

Having supported Celtic for over 50 years I am still surprised that our fans get angry regards bad refereeing decisions. Is it not accepted by the silence of our board regards this, that they accept on the BALANCE OF PROBABILITY most decisions will go against Celtic and they are prepared to accept the same?
Judging by certain statements made recently, I think our board cannot wait to consummate the arrival of Sevco into the SPL.
Oh and least I forget, as a football team we are poor.
Auldheid,
Good to remind, especially our younger supporters, that even the great weren’t too hot every match. I didn’t see the game but I suspect too that your comment about their defence doubling up on James Forrest would be very effective in such a tight wee park.
By the bye, anybody criticising Johansen needs their head looked, imo. He gives us so much energy.
Sunderland score in the last minute.
bada,
For Sure, young Josh Risdon at Perth Glory got sent off for a second bookable on Tuesday night in the FFA Cup Final for pulling back his opponent, no argument, red card. We seem to play to a different set of rules in Scotland………sometimes.
AR
That should have been a penalty for Sumderland.
BTW,
well done to the travelling supporters yous were all in great voice today all match long
A big Hail Hail and well done!

I will be stunned if Steven McLean is not selected as the referee for Celtic’s League Cup semi-final.
Not that I’m suggesting it will make any difference to the outcome, but it is simply what I expect to happen.
I’ll be kind and call him and his assistants inept. The offside decisions alone were utterly incredible.
In saying that, the defensive lapses in our team, and not just from defenders, have got to be addressed pronto. Both goals were easily avoidable.
Big Nan,
Didn’t we win everything that particular season?
eldiegobhoy,
I believe that would be the same Johnny, he has a brother Willie, big Celtic man.

Sannahbhoy or CRC if your lurking any word on Kano?

Big Nan,
Didn’t we win everything that particular season?
…………………………………..
The lot. Big one and all.
Peaks & troughs, sometimes we’re good other times we’re even gooder. I don’t think we’re a bad team, in fact I think we’re the best in the country. Seen better Celtic teams, also seen a lot lot worse. Bring on the Windae. CELTIC CELTI|C that’s the team for me
Neil canamalar/’GG, I agree. So our best attacker was Izzie and our worst defender was Forrest. That just about sums it up!
Auldheid, a good point about “the one angle”. It was an excellent finish from a quality player. But if we are going to attach any blame to Efe for the second goal, due to his uncomposed swipe at the ball to concede the corner, then whoever played the wayward pass in midfield has to be held acocuntable for the concession of the first DU goal.
Philbhoy, and I wonder why we seem to have reverted to playing so many hopeful crosses in from wide areas, with such a poor return from this particular tactic. If we don’t have the personnel to convert high crosses into goals, then why persist with just wasting all our build-up play in this way?
We have played some delightful stuff this season by pinging quick little 1-2s inside the opposition box, and we have several players more than capable of playing quick, intricate stuff on the deck through the heart of the opposition defence. Why do we not do this more often? And there is also the chance that if we don’t get a shot away then we will draw a foul… the MIB can only refuse to award us a blatant penalty a couple of times before he HAS to give one!
T’was ever thus.

CELTIC’S REPORT ON REFEREE
“A TRAVESTY OF JUSTICE”
The directors of Celtic Football Club yesterday issued to the press copies of the letter of complaint which they lodged with the Scottish Football Association regarding the manner in which J. Thomson, Burnbank, the referee, handled the game in the final of the Glasgow Cup competition between Rangers and Celtic at Hampden Park on Saturday, October 11.
After making a specific charge against a Rangers’ player, the letter continues:- This offence of itself called for the extreme penalty against the offender. Taken in conjunction with several subsequent tackles by this same offender, it can only be described as a travesty of justice that the player should have been allowed to remain on the field and R. Thomson be ordered off.
After making reference to the goal that was disallowed the letter goes on: –
The whole game from the first incident was marred by frequent fouls, from which undoubtedly our players were the chief sufferers. The repeated injuries to our outside-left, the repeated fouls against our outside-right, the methods adopted towards our goalkeeper, most of which were penalised by free kicks without proper action being taken against the offenders, resulted in the match being a most unsatisfactory one from every point of view.
It is our considered opinion that if incidents such as these are to occur with increasing regularity, as seems to be the case in matches where certain teams are involved, the game in this country will be seriously harmed and made almost impossible for our club.
We think it must be placed on record that our complaint is only one of several made in somewhat similar circumstances within a recent date comparatively.
N.B. This complaint was made after Celtic had won the Glasgow Cup beating Rangers 2-1 in the final.
I’d love it if this prompted a bit of spend pre- inter arriving. A no show against inter would be a dreadful outcome and credibility to those who say the bored are wilfully driving us down. On the other hand we can’t win ’em all and inter are 11th.
antipodean red
Thanks for replying. He’s had some bad knee problems of late causing him to be off work for a while but he’s back in action now.
If you’re o.k. with it let me have your initials and I’ll mention you to him.
I dont know what is up with big John Guidetti he didnt look fit today and was ponderous thats three games without a goal he maybe needs a wee rest. I think scepovic has really been unlucky when he has played he gets himself into good positions but just doesnt get the break of the ball.I also think Griffiths is due a run in the team as he is a player who has always scored goals where ever he has been. H.H.

We do not need unfit players in the squad, we can not afford to carry passengers.
JFH…. I think JG is a player. Agree he has been a bit off form for a few games, but, as I said earlier, he cant do his job unless others are doing theres. And they aren’t. We should still seek to sign him, and I’m afraid dropping him – while letting other favourites get a free ride – would make that difficult.
One thing …. I find I dont hurt as much when we lose, as I know the league is a foregone conclusion….. if I find it hard to stay motivated, surely the players must also struggle to get up for games when you know that they really wont effect the league destination.
I think this is a real problem, but not sure how to fix it.
Off out in a minute. Will check back in later.

Ah well tbe focus moves onto the huns tomorrow. Who will even be in attendance at their annual IPO?
Neither Cashley will be there for sure.
How many police will be in attendance.
Will anyone ask any questions regarding the future ?
Will it even be reported now that Celtic have accepted a DD role for Cashley at Sevco ?
Will it be a good Christmas for the huns or will we get even more nice surprises ?
What time is their AIPO tomorrow ?
HH
Winter solstace is today.
So things will get brighter in the coming months.
Pity Guidetti has lost a bit of form, but as I say, things will get brighter and better, just don’t read the shit stirring on here.
That can have the opposite effect on your mind thoughts that can darken your day.
I can take a defeat, we played some good stuff but we’re poor in front of goal. When you add the Effe factor – he has to go btw- the game was close.
Two points:
Griffiths is our most predatory sticker and if RD and the 6 Pack don’t realise that then there is something very wrong
If so one senior in Celtic do not comment on McLean and the sneaky linenseman I will not spend another penny on the team
I am 56 and have been at CP SINCE 1962 – I have stopped lying down
philbhoy.
On izzy, I thought he drove some low hard crosses into the box rather than floating high balls. They were just waiting for a striker to connect on them…ie Griffs.
The ball Bobby Lennox said is the most deadly form of attack.
Inter v Lazio tonight.
7 45 UK
11th v 4th .Italian bookies think Lazio are the more likely.
If Celtic can’t produce a better defender than Ambrose, the whole structure needs to be overhauled.
eldiegobhoy,
My initials are DD, Johnny will know me as the worst goalie in Clydebank, ask him about the game he got abandoned at the Knowes up in the Faifley, he will also fill you in on my tenuous links to young John McGinn through my sister.
Hail Hail
AR
Tommysbhoy – you lurking? Wanted to ask you about that box you were speaking to me about last week. Do you have a link or the details? Cheers
But of techie help required-again!
How do you stream an iPad through a TV?
