  1. SuperSutton on

    Haven’t read through the comments from during the game yet or those from after the game on CQN yet. I have seen a lot of comments on other social media. Many saying that yesterday’s performance was shocking, typically followed by “we should have scored more”.

     

     

    My take is that the PERFORMANCE is not intrinsically linked to the winning margin. Of course we should have scored more with all that possession and shots off and on target.

     

     

    The first half I thought we were terrific at switching play from one side to the other through BItton, Julienne and Christie. And it was just what I thought was required to try and break down a really well organised, enthusiastic and athletic defence.

     

     

    Next tactic was to have pot shots from distance, unfortunately we skied them well over too many times.

     

     

    Then we went for some sharp passes straight through the middle. Broke the press a few times and led to chances to get in about them.

     

     

    Then we moved players about to try and disrupt the tight defence.

     

     

    Eventually we got the breakthrough. No more than we deserved.

     

     

    PERFORMANCE wise I agree with NFL, we were really good mostly. A few players were below their normal level, Eddie and Calumn most notable due to the high levels they set.

     

     

    Keeper continues to impress with his concentration when there is so little to do for long periods of the game.

    Ernie…you may be correct re John Smith, I can only go on how I felt at that time. Same with Sillars. Time can change many things, including perceptions…

    Agree the DU goalie had some great saves but the number of shots off target was also a factor.

    I save my anger for the banned BBC who are happy to relay puff pieces without having the opportunity to probe – which I’m sure they’re happy with.

  10. What is the Stars on

    Great win yesterday

     

    Real sign if champions ,digging deep to eke out a hard earned but well deserved win.No criticism of any of the players.

     

    All played their part.

     

    Dundee United were able to kick with impunity ,facilitated by am awful referee with his own agenda.

     

    The good ship Celtica sails on..Thanks to the contribution of our new €5 million striker.Not a bad investment by the “failed bean counter ”

     

    God bless Peter Lawwell keeping the green flag flying despite the malcontents begrudgers and naysayers

  11. GFTB on

    Glendaly 2.27pm

     

     

    Aye, totally agree … I was actually surprised at the “stats” for both games, especially the goal attempts being nearly the same … I also understand stats can be viewed the way anybody wants to view them :-)

  15. ‘GG on

    99% of all statistics only tell 49% of the story

     

    There are lies, damn lies and statistics

     

    And finally

     

    Most people use statistics like a drunk man uses a lamppost; more for support than illumination

  18. GFTB on

    GG 2.52pm

     

     

    :-)

     

     

    Sometimes the “statistics” should be used to show some, we aren’t as bad as others make us out to be

     

     

    But the only stat we need is a “win”

  19. big wavy on

    Two awful teams in a week (Rejkavik and DUFC) are clouding a lot of judgement on here about the frailties of the team. The ‘sign of champions’ answer, ‘win when not playing well’ trope will only get us so far (lots of weeks in a poor Scottish level) but we aren’t addressing issues that better teams (and the Hungarians, like a Cluj and Copenhagen) could see it unravel.

     

     

    – Taylor is an SPFL level defender. Good squad player but should have been replaced even before Boligate.

     

    – Eddie is isolated as a 1.

     

    – A No. 10 and Eddie relationship has not been established.

     

    – CM is wide open with an aging Brown unable to catch faster, fitter opponents when pressed, Callum not being used properly and Ntcham crowding the space.

     

    – A system that gets the best out of the players (Forrest as a LW, Christie as a RW, Moi cutting inside).

     

    – No proper No. 10 established (Moi’s best position probably but we are lost without a TR type).

     

    – Frimpong isn’t a defender.

     

     

    Barkas looks good and Big Tam is a baller at RB but feels like we are weeks behind in preparation for that lottery that is ECL qualification. Why is that important? – Without it we are likely to have to sell Eddie and weaken other objectives for the season.

     

     

    If I was the Ferencavos coach, I’d be licking my lips for Wednesday. I clearly hope we have enough to beat them but we are piling up the risk factor with such low margins at stake.

     

     

    HH

  20. JHB on

    I think that there has been some harsh criticism of Taylor. He is not KT, nor, the finished article, however in my opinion he has certainly come on since last season. He is being coached & is learning to be a Celtic player – a big difference to being a Kilmarnock player.

     

     

    On Scott Brown – being older it is to be expected that his top performance will shade a little. He is still well capable for the Scottish game. Will he lead us to 10iar? That depends on his teammates wanting it enough….and, let’s be honest, on the four Sevco games.

     

     

    There will be another five, or, six away games similar to yesterday – results are more important than performances this year. I would only say that continually playing in front of eleven behind the ball is so frustrating – let’s mix it up by missing out the midfield on occasion, get them turning, push up & attack the second ball.

     

    I’m not advocating lumping it forward all the time – but let’s mix it up.

    Perhaps your expectations are a tad too high

  22. big wavy on

    Gene

     

     

    Given the disparity in budget and the truly awful state of DUFC that was a pretty conservative bet fella :)

  24. big wavy on

    SFTB

     

     

    d) They were a bit more open than Killie. Had they reverted to packing their 6 yard box when tiring then I suspect we could have looked at a 0-0.

  25. GFTB on

    Big Wavy 2.57pm

     

     

    You do like referencing the Cluj debacle (and quite rightly so) I still think it was to “shoehorn” Ntcham into the starting 11 after his performance at Fir Park, but you do realise we topped our Europa league table which contained the Cluj team … by the way Cluj needed a 98th minute goal to get a 2-0 victory away in Malta last week … or do you think we should win 9-0 just because Dundee Utd have far less money than Celtic … surely sport should be about enjoyment and the not knowing if you will win ? By the way I thought Ntcham (against Dundee Utd) didn’t grasp his chance … but far too early in the season to judge for me :-)

  26. GFTB on

    Just heard on BBC(evco) that Ross McCrorie can’t play against the Gers this season ??? I thought the dandy dons had signed the boy … are the Govan mob still making the rules up as they trundle along … I could understand if it was a loan deal ??

  27. setting free the bears for Res. 12 & Oscar Knox on

    GFTB

     

     

    Tried to check this- seems like it has been constructed as a season long loan deal with an OBLIGATION (instead of an option) to buy at the end of this term- very unusual way to structure a deal.

     

     

    It would look like Sevco were hapy to see the boy go but did not want him to cause them any damage, and McInnes seems desperate enough for players to agree to this.

  30. GFTB on

    SFTB 3.23pm

     

     

    Cheers … couldn’t understand it as it was never mentioned as a loan

     

     

    Just thought the Huns were making the rules up .. (again :-)

  31. setting free the bears for Res. 12 & Oscar Knox on

    GFTB

     

     

    I don’t think my accounting for it has removed the dubiety from the deal. I cannot think it is entirely legal to own a player and not be able to play him against a team, and I have never heard of a loan deal with an Obligation to buy- does anyone else know if this is common or legal?

     

     

     

    GG- I would suggest that it was your least favourite veg but then mince is liked by many. It must be used as an insult because it is ground up and disorganised beef- so we are looking for an unruly vegetable- over to you for suggestions

  32. prestonpans bhoys on

    Don’t think there’s a strong argument for United players tiring, they used four subs in the last half hour😕

  33. Gene on

    Big Wavy

     

    If it’s just about the size of budgets then we would win every game comfortably and Wigan wouldn’t have won the fa cup.

     

    Thankfully it’s not.

  34. timhorton on

    GFTB

     

     

    I thought Ntcham was one of our better players always available.

     

     

    Just a thought, anyone think of giving Ajer a shot at Browns position.

  35. GFTB on

    Tim Horton 3.47pm

     

     

    I wasn’t “picking” on Ntcham but I think we lose Ryan Christie’s goal threat when Ntcham is accommodated .. I want every player that starts to play well … a lot of players become far better when they are not playing … personally I think Ntcham turns it on when Ntcham can be bothered … Hope this doesn’t read like I don’t like Ollie, would prefer him to be more consistent that’s all

  36. BillyBhoy1967 on

    GFTB

     

     

    I’m sure I heard a RC pundit (R Hannah) say it’s a four year deal but the first year is considered a loan to prevent him featuring against Sevco this season. He reckoned this highlighted how desperate Sevco were to stop The Ten.

     

     

    Let’s hope our Board are equally determined that they WON’T stop The Ten!

    BIGRAILROADBLUES on 23RD AUGUST 2020 12:32 PM

     

    Big Jimmy 12.16. You are irrepressible. 😂😂

     

    …………..

     

     

    I looked up what “Irrepressible” meant….and I was advised that it means…” Not able to be controlled or restrained”.

     

    So cheers mate…I will take that as a TRUE Compliment as scores of wummin over the years have tried to control/restrain me…but failed.

     

    As for being ” restrained”….my understanding of that is that would cost money ?

     

    LOL

     

    HH Mate.

  38. Turkeybhoy on

    Another wee snippet from the SMSM.Shane Duffys close friend,has intimated,that he will”Snub”Celtic,for a move to West Ham.

     

    Meanwhile,more threats from Ferencvaros,about how they will put us out on Wednesday.In every Scottish rag.

     

    On the Duffy thing if not comp,even this week,eff off.
