  1. Tom McLaughlin on

    On the road back to Edinburgh. Just scanned through Live Updates. If I’m not at a game I watch on TV. Looking at the negativity in the updates, I’m glad I never have to rely on CQN for live updates. Unbelievable level of moaning, even when we’re ahead.

     

     

    It was the same in the second half v Rangers when we were 3-0 up and controlling the game.

  2. Looks like the game may clash with Simple Minds delayed gig in Dublin. Hopefully Jim Kerr realises and re-schedules

  3. BRRB – I am coming for you and Big Jimmy in the next week or so.

     

     

    Getting back to my fighting/drinking weight bhoy.

     

     

    Feeling Gooooood.

     

     

    This Garngad Ruffian is back to his fighting Irish best.

    JHB probably still making their way home

    They played yesterday, he’ll be home by now.

    Just in and Happy enough with the draw, be good to deprive them of a final appearance.

     

     

     

     

    Delighted to be in draw away to read back as missed game.

    Is that you just back from getting the daughters messages….😊👍

  6. Was there a bit of Buster Keating with the draw tonight????

     

     

    Wee Dawell told us it was 2 Derby’s before the live draw and Michael Stweart pulled him up……

     

     

     

    Mmmmmmm

    Play to our strengths and we need fear nobody. Hopefully they scrape through against Red Star helping the coefficient and hamstringing their own hopes domestically. Quietly confident of (yet) another treble. Not sure I felt that way 8 months ago. HH

  8. Chris Sutton was on form tonight. Had Michael Stewart in such a muddle, he couldn’t count

  9. Two disparate observations from me.

     

     

    Hatate was looking more like the guy who got off the plane again – hooked to save him from himself and Beaton.

     

     

    Mikey looked short of match sharpness (understandably) but more significantly; bereft of self confidence.

     

    Sorry to see that. If he blooms one day, it won’t be in Paradise.

  10. A below par performance, on a dodgy pitch. Yet we win 3-0 away from home.

     

    So, mixed emotions. In a cup tie, the result is most important – and we won. Job done.

     

    Yet, Ange will quite rightly assess the performance and see there is much work to be done – either in improving some of these players or in the upcoming transfer window. Probably both.

     

    Beaton was poor. Incompetent rather than biased perhaps. Hatate gave him the perfect opportunity to be red carded…yet the ref resisted and only issued a yellow. If you see the replay in real time, you’ll see Juranovic (I think it was him) at the top if the screen – on the opposite wing – put both hands on his head immediately when he saw Hatate’s challenge. He too expected a red card.

     

    If Beaton is anti-Celtic, why did he not take this opportunity, whereby the colour of the card was very debatable, to send off Hatate.

     

    Yes, he made some decisions against us which I disagreed with; including allowing us an advantage after a bad foul – but did go back and rightly book the Utd player who commuted the foul.

     

    The disallowed goal is a puzzler. The ref MUST know the change of rule/law that was brought in at the Sumer. Did Beaton rule that the hand ball was deliberate? I assume so. As that is the only reason to disallow the goal. Which, again, brings me back to competency (or lack of).

  11. The linesman gave the goal it was the Beaton loyal who took it upon himself to re-write the rules. Cheating bassa.

     

     

    There were tackles from Utd players that were just as bad as Hatates, yellow was the correct call. No cheating there from the Bellshill loyalist.

  12. Are the post-split fixture dates set? As in, are they every weekend, or do we have a midweek league game after the split (which has often been the case previously)?

     

    Is the final league match before or after the cup final (21st May)?

     

    The last game before the split is 9th April. The following weekend is Cup Semi weekend. There are only 4 weekends between then and the Cup Final.

     

    So either we have a midweek league game, post-split, or the league finishes after the cup final. Or have I missed something?

    Beaton saw the handball and blew , just as he would have in the 80s.

     

     

    Scottish refs can’t do the mental acrobatics to work out the over-complicated rules. The English ones can’t either but they rely on a VAR delay to sort it

     

     

    Beaton is no worse than the English refs IMHO

    —————————————————————-

     

    With all due respect, I don’t recall any Utd player challenge that had me thinking “oh, that could be a red card”. Which tackles did you think were worse than Hatate’s?

  15. I’m sure it was Starfelt who played a lovely ball to Maeda in the build up to the 2nd goal.

     

    Better to get the huns out of the way in the semis.

     

     

    HH 🍀

  16. Tom McLaughlin on

    Early in the game, 3 Celtic subs went behind the goals for a warm-up to a chorus of Pedo-Pedo-Pedo from the United fans behind them.

     

     

    Same again 10 minutes later with another 3 subs.

     

     

    Family club my bahooky.

  17. CONEYBHOY on 14TH MARCH 2022 10:48 PM

     

     

    I wonder if Beaton will apologise for his error? I won’t hold my breath. I reckon he’ll try to cover his misinterpretation of the rules by suggesting the handball was, in his opinion, deliberate; and therefore a foul.

    Usually a midweek card after the split….

     

    ——————————————-

     

    That was my impression too.

     

    I was confused, as many on here were (last week) commenting that we had no more midweek football this season. 🤷‍♂️

    I don’t think Scottish refs have to say anything. Only examples I remember involved a liquidated club

  20. glendalystonsils on

    I think the horrible surface had a lot to do with what looked like some slack passing and ball control tonight . Under the circumstances it was a great result .

    9 goals, 9 one touch finishes. Unreal from Giakoumakis

  22. Loving the MIB excuse frenzy that is ongoing.

     

     

    RH’s tackle was poor but not a red — his foot was on the ground when there was contact.

     

    I did expect the MIB to show him a red but that would have just highlighted how forced / partial / slanted his decision would have been and invited comment about how MIB players are refereed to different standards.

     

     

    He returned the favour with his unique interpretation of the handball rule.

     

    And his continued refusal to yellow card various DU players for sleekit / dangerous fouls.

     

     

    The GG yellow showed his snidery attitude in full.

     

     

    I am not sure if the MIB help for the TFOD2.1 stopped at 22 games this season or their efforts in the first half of the season meant that the scrutiny levels were getting to high to continue the TFOD2.1 luv that the brothers naturally aspire too.

     

     

    The stats imbalance was ridiculous and impossible to explain or justify so they had to reign it in a bit.

  23. CMG @ 10.50

     

     

    Dumping TR on his erse 5 seconds after he played the ball would be a good place to start.

     

    The late tackle on CS at the end of the first half — not as bad looking as the RH tackle but caused a lot more damage.

     

     

    The RH tackle looked bad but in terms of damage done — not in the Top 10 tonight.

  24. DU started at 100mph and i thought we did well to stand up to it. The early goal was a killer for them and threw their game plan out of the window. For all their hustle they didn’t lay a glove on us, Joe Hart was redundant. Cal ran the show from minute 1, he is still so underrated, just absolute quality. You can bet all they DU players will be talking about how good he is. We were wasteful at times on the ball and in the final third particularly during or after the transition. Make no mistake guys like Kyogo would have run amok if afforded that space and time.

     

     

    The Ange juggernaut rolls on.

    If you believe that “damage” must be inflicted onto an opponent in order to be red carded then there’s not much point in conversing with you. 🤷‍♂️

     

    Probably a good thing that we don’t converse. I usually scroll past your posts, as I have no inclination to attempt to decipher them. No offence intended. 😁

     

     

    And with that, I must bid everyone a good night.

    I’m not in the least impressed by Celts, such as you who have attended our game, criticising other Celts who are attending at a distance for their moans. Are you asking me to accept no Celt at Tannadice expressed negativity during the entire ninety minutes?

     

     

    Your luck with away briefs this season interests me. Am I wrong to think you put on the blog, this season was your first travelling for a period of time?

     

     

    If you’re minded to share, how many briefs did your bus receive after the original distribution and what impact did Utd’s restriction of the Shed seats have on your bus?

  28. Just back from a great cup win at a tricky venue.

     

     

    Then I come on here and see the misery Celtic continues to give some so called Celtic supporters watching on telly.

     

     

    So we play rangers 3 times in 5 weeks. In the midst of their Europa run maybe.

     

     

    Not the worst outcome.

  29. BURNLEY78, take no notice of them….. unless you were part of the sectarian singing. “Roamin In The Gloamin” ffs, Jesus wept.
