  1. Thought it was going to that all too familiar cup story – dodgey ref, dodgey pitch and sloppy performance but we got an acceptable result in the end.

  2. We need to get our key players fit fort the games coming up. KC at least has some imagination – it was all too predictable and I’m afraid JG is not Hooper. At least we may have a decent surface to play on and hopefully no Stokes or Forrest.

    Celtic survive to be cheated another day.

     

     

    Posted I’d take a draw after 10 minutes.

     

     

    Celtic the better side as expected.

    1-1, phew, dodged a bullet big style, bloody hell, Celtic have been the jammiest team in Europe all season long, yet another chance to blow it averted, is it better to be lucky than good???

     

     

    ronny is certainly very lucky!

     

     

    just wish he would keep his gob shut at times

    Hard to breakdown a 10 man defense – hence the probing, square passing, looking for the opening…

     

     

    Once KC gets back we’ll be fine.

     

     

    So disappointed with DUnt – didn’t class them as cheats – before today!

    Stokes not same player since his hair job.

     

     

    His new barnet has gone to his head.

  7. Game wasted by the referee,

     

    and taking off the green tinted specs, started by Brown’s stupid lunge

     

     

    I’m another as well hope Stokes get a long rest, bringing nothing to us at the moment

  8. Dexter says PAY THE LIVING WAGE CELTIC PLC on

    good craic, bhoys…

     

     

    I’m off to watch liverpool….. ;)

  9. Given the remarkable refereeing performance and awful pitch, that is a decent result.

     

    We are still in three competitions.

     

    At CP we will win.

    I have always been a fan of NB, but, if he is going to be our key man, he needs to play with a bit more urgency and quickness through the middle. We were missing SA’s drive through the middle today (which opens space on the wings)….

     

     

    I think NB is our key guy, but, if he is going to get the plaudits, he has to take more responsibility when the other players aren’t doing it.

  11. Terrible pitch, but a real lack of imagination at times when they went down to 9. Didn’t stretch them enough, though pitch made it harder to do that as players tried to keep passes short.

     

     

    Would’ve taken the draw at HT right enough.

  12. Thought it for ages…..the sooner JG packs his bags the better. SS is a signed player, time he got a chance.

    We had more than enough pressure to have won that game. Ruined by inept/corrupt mibbery and a pitch you wouldnae plant cabbages in!!

     

    We should see them off on a decent pitch so treble still on. I’d have hooked Forrest before Griff, waste of a jersey again hiding out on the wing. The only time he did what he is good at is when he saw his number come up on the subs board. Couple of pacy runs on the outside which posed them problems.

     

    After that he reverted to just hiding behind their defender and aimlessly cutting inside. Passenger that needs to be moved on.

  14. Do they deliberately make the pitches so bad? How can Scottish football improve on these ploughed fields?

  15. In the draw – anybody but Hibs – that would give ICT v Falkirk if they get past Raith .

     

     

    Rather keep Hibs for the all green final

  16. Said before game did not like Stokes inclusion as he slows us down and reduces our attacking potency.

     

    He did all in his play to confirm.

     

    Our strikers are not prolific so we are reliant on fast incisive runs from the midfield and todays formation like wednesdays negated this.

     

    Hopefully Ronny learns and adjusts .

  17. I’ll take that given state of park, missing a penalty and referee error. Did not think handball at pen was deliberate.

     

     

    Guedetti at least got some shots away today.

     

     

    Izzy was careless at their goal but it was not a penalty.

     

     

    A typical Scottish Cup tie.

     

     

    Who is left for replay? Hope Lustig Matthews and Mulgrew are back in contention. We are going to need experience.

  18. I am exhausted after that. Glad we are still in with a chance of a treble but we could have done without an extra game plus suspensions and possible injury to Biton.

     

    There keeper made some great saves, we should have won but we could have lost. Overall I’ll take the result but we need to do a lot of soul searching after that performance.

  19. Delaneys Dunky on

    Treble on! Let’s fill Paradise for the replay at a tenner a ticket. Make an effort you armchair bhoys please.

  20. You can’t expect to see a football game on a pitch like that officiated by choobs like those, Dundee Utd did not have one passage of passing football in the entire 95 minutes…

     

     

    Celtic to go through at Paradise..

    I would rather you kept your gob shut

    10 man Celtic done well against the Arabs 13 men. Cierzniak MOM by a mile. We have no plan B C or D. The Celtic away support , the best thing about Scottish footall.

     

     

    Officiating and surface explains why we cannot attract a sponsor.

     

     

    If this Celtic team wins a treble and I hope they do it cannot paper over where we are just now. Not just Celtic but Scottish fitba.

     

     

    Maybe it is time to push the boat out and pay a striker the same wages as Peter Lawwell.

     

     

    We panicked after the red cards. All three. We need to play with more composure in midfield.

  23. Would not have been disappointed with a draw but now that we will not have Johanssen and Virgil It will be tough in the replay … Liam Henderson to replace Stefan Effe to centre half with Adam back fit…. I’d even play young Fisher before Forrest. forrest had two good runs when he thought he was being subbed then when he wasn’t he went back to sleep … A waste of a jersey !

  24. Just saw replay of handball. Looked deliberate, raised arm as ball was passing him.

  25. Jungle Jim Hot Smoked on

    One definite I have learned from too many posters on the excellent CQN today.

     

     

    We are most certainly NOT the greatest fans in the world. We are , with some exceptions, no different from the fans of any other team.

    RSC …. I agree we had enough chances in the second half to win… but that doesn’t mean that we played well or smart …

     

     

    we played a stationary game at a walking pace – against a team down to 9 men! Speed is what we need. That means we need to learn to make runs, and look for the passes …. this is something that should be worked on in training …. we have the fitness advantage… we just need to learn to play in a manner that allows us to maximize that advantage.

     

     

    I thought jf showed a bit more in the second half …

    VVD will miss cup final, not the replay. Assuming his appeal is rejected.

  28. Happy the games over.

     

     

    Awful refereeing, awful pitch, Tactics out the window after the red cards.

     

     

    We live to fight another day.
