  1. 3 points after a midweek european game , which earlier in the season would have in all probability been points dropped , I will take that every time.

     

     

    Big Dan and Glenn were superb at the back as were Victor and Beram in the middle , strange substitution at one point but well deserved 3 points.

     

     

    Go get em Bhoys.

  2. coorslad is Neil Lennon on

    Vmhan,londonderry is delighted..didnt fancy this game,when I seen the defence,But as Chaplin said,days like this wins leagues!

  3. Cathedral View on

    Three points in the bag and a good run of results continues…..

     

     

    A few posts on the substitutions, can I suggest DU had adapted well to our very bright start and we made the changes in an attempt to put some drive back into our performance. If the team had been left as is we may have ended the game on the back foot which clearly did not happen as were pushing on for a second goal.

    Now the blog will split into two distinct camps – those who saw the game with their own eyes and saw a terrible performance for one hour and call it as they saw it . . . and those who will quickly tell anyone telling the truth that they are hun interlopers.

    We won. You must be hurting. Scroll on Hun.

  5. Will take the 3 points. Bit frustrated at our set plays. Seemed to lose possession at every throw in and our corners were woeful.

    good game today without really extending ourselves

     

    deffence ok

     

    midfield pass marks

     

    forwards working

     

    its all we can ask

     

     

    mr kojo….et al

     

    my humble apologies to you

     

    i have not been myself lately and should not have said what I said

     

    please scroll by me after this …..as I was wrong to speak out of turn

     

    you make up the forum…and I suppose so do I

     

    I mean no harm to anyone on here…

     

    thanks for your time

  7. Very seldom we have a brilliant game after a mid-week European tie. We started off well and were unlucky not to have put the game to bed by half-time.

     

     

    In the main we controlled the game and rarely looked under pressure at any time.

     

     

    Hard work – 2 players back in the squad and a good 3 points – can’t complain!

     

     

    H!H!

  8. Shortbread talking about Sammy’s diving. Ex-hun Thompson saying that it’s something he would never do.

     

     

    You couldnae make it up..

  9. The Ghood will prevail on

    I don’t think we were ‘terrible’ at all. I think we did enough to deserve the win, and United barely got a look-in. Five SPL wins in a row, and at a venue we often find tough. Win the next three games and I believe we’ll top the pile before the year is out.

  10. 3 points blah blah blah etc etc

     

     

    wish this team would play for 90 minutes some week

     

     

    luckily dundee utd are a bad lot this year

     

     

    Lenny, what was the Brown for loovens swap for? Big Dan and Loovens having good games and you change it to get Brown on? if you were looking Brown on to tighten things up, then bring him on for Jimmy or Sammi

  11. DUSHANBE BILLYBHOY on

    Loved Lenny’s comment on Sky…”we are just delighted to be in all competitions. It’s great for the players”.

     

     

    Now, watch how the L.L distort this comment.

    Great win , great performance.. just great to be a celt. On the back of a tough euro game celtic controlled this game today. The tempo dipped in the second half but we always looked to be in command. I was disapointed to see Glen going off , i thought he and Dan were immense. Berham and Victor ruled the roost and everyone else played their part, including our superb fans.

    No argument with your credentials as a Celtic fan,I was just wondering how you figure that you are frequently abused on here when you post less frequently than that!

     

     

    There are plenty of reasons to feel aggrieved on here without imagining things. If someone disagrees with what you say,analyse it and reply,either with a counter-argument or a “fair play,I was wrong”

     

     

    Works for most of us.

  14. Paul67 et al

     

     

    Well I have seen us play better, but a clean sheet and three points, just what we needed. Not convinced it was the best set-up, but we could and should have added at least one more goal. Noticed Udinese beat Inter away last night, equal top on points with AC Milan, still that is for another week!

  15. Great 3 points today – Tannadice never an easy venue after a well contested mid-week match against a top European team.

     

     

    Five league wins on the trot.

     

    Who’s Next?

  16. Good first half, sloppy second half but a welcome 3 points.

     

    Can someone please explain why we consistently lose possession from throw ins? It looks like we just don’t have a clue. And what was Adam Matthews taking corners for when he never got them by the first man, poor show.

    I thought very strange to remove Loovens as he was solid enough and Victor was doing great in mid-field. After about 60mins anyone of Sammy Stokes Hooper or Forrest could have been taken off cos they wernt effective. It worked out ok in the end but IMHO it could have been much easier .

     

    Anyway we won and now we look forward -is Udinese next?

  18. AntrimKev.

     

     

    We needed Brown on at that stage. Personally I would have hooked Sammaras but Neil obviously wanted him on. Neil also thinks Wanyama is a better CH than Loovens. So proper decision IMHO.

  19. your reply was expected Vahan. This week you have been at your most outrageous in calling posters huns, particularly new posters. Behave yourself. I don`t doubt your Celtic credentials, I just think yer a bawbag.

    Hi mate, Are you going to the Home game v Dundee United, 14th January?

  23. I think Loovens had taken a minor knock.

     

     

    Brown was going to come on at some point, think Glen was just the unlucky one.

  24. hotshot

     

     

    Often when we had a throw-in all our players just turned their backs and ignored the thrower.

     

    Why didnt Matthews take a short corner ? Its this type of unprofessional play that makes me nervious.

    SUMMA OF SAMMI 1458

     

     

    I went out with a few Dutch girls when I stayed in London,never had to learn the language as their English was better than mine!

     

     

    On top of that,they ALWAYS paid their way,haha…….

  26. tannadice not an easy place to go to

     

    we deserved a result today…

     

    and got it with ease

     

    this was a potential banana skin that we have avoided

     

    the title is close

     

    and we must unite behind a good young team

     

    wanyama today was outstanding…as was kayal

     

    hooper and stokes worked hard

     

    sammi is giving a real shift now and has really fitted well in the midfield

     

    we are not that far away

     

    just need a real bobo type figure to clear from crap punts into our box…..although

     

    big dan has now learned what his heid is for!!!! thank god

     

    onward and upward celts

     

    hail hail

    yip that was doing my head in, especially 2nd half. we would be better just throwing the ball away

    as i said mate Brown for Sammy or young Jimmy – crazy sub when Loovens and big Dan were playing well

     

     

    cant really agree with the thing about big Vic being a better centre half than Loovens – if that was true obviously he would have started with big vic there and not started Loovens?

     

     

     

    silly sub

  28. Well

     

     

    A wee 1-0 victory which should have been 2 or 3 certainly warms the cockles.

     

     

    Wanyama and Kayal ran the show easily bossing the midfield 3 until Wanyama moved back and Broonie grabbed the Captains arm band back.

     

     

    Young Forrest also played well, corner kicks aside.

     

     

    A few players looked of the boil after looking sprightly in the first 20 or so.

     

     

    Watching on TV doesn’t afford the viewer a full picture of the game or a players performance so I can’t be too critical of anyone.

     

     

    Although saying that. Big Dan!!! I give him it tight when he’s gash but today the big man didn’t put a foot wrong.

     

     

    MWD still sees buckets loads room for improvement
