    Scaniel , would love to visit the donkey sanctuary with my grand children in the spring or summer .

    Really sorry to read that, take care, football is actually unimportant but it gives us something to either moan or rejoice about when many other things matter more

     

     

    Am no expert but not sure what “better” manager is out there, was Ollie Burke injured ? Question Neil’s decisions fair enough but am more than positive Neil wants Celtic to win every competition they can just as much as the “Celtic” fan on here :-)

    While i love a good old last minute winner as much as the next guy

     

     

    A wee early goal once in a while would be nice

    One way of combatting a park the bus defensive set up is to learn to score from corners.

     

     

    That would involve consistent decent delivery into the box, and someone to then connect with the ball to some purpose.

     

     

     

    I don’t understand why professional footballers can’t manage to do the first. It seems like pretty basic stuff to me. The second admittedly might take a bit more talent, and/or the appropriate physique.

    Would love to see you and your grandchildren here at FRED. We’re open all hours just about. Would be great to catch up with you post Lisbon.

     

    GFTB – we love what we do, just as much as I love The Famous Glasgow Celtic.

    Good stuff, and I agree think West Ham scored from 3 corners yesterday but again 1-0 in the 97th minute is as good as 4-0 after 30mins … (think Neil’s predecessor done that last game at Dens) still the same 3pts… today’s 3pts was massive … eight would be great ?

    Saint Stivs, That brings me back to scenes in Belfast in the early seventies. Disgraceful.

    Sorry to hear of your loss. Heartfelt condolonces to you and your family.

     

     

    We ground out a result again.. without a last minute hoof up the park….that would have been going backwards. These games need a player to take the game and the ball from the scruff of the neck and that man was Odsonne. As GG says……………….. JUST LIKE EDDIE!!!!

  24. glendalystonsils on

    Our corner taking is now so bad that I think we should review our strategy .

     

    Place the ball in the quadrant and kick it over the line for a goal kick , thereby saving time which we could use to score a goal from anything other than a corner .

     

     

    Simple!

  25. mncelt on

    ‘GG. Sorry to read your news. Stay strong and all the best. Thoughts with you and your family.

    as i said very difficult, as ernie says scoring from corners would be a help.

     

     

    they would be satisfied with a draw so we have to score first to bring them out but easier said than done.

     

     

    still a great result imo.

  27. glendalystonsils on

    I thought we looked at our most dangerous when Johnny Hayes came on . Beat the full back several times and put useful crosses in , any one of which could have brought a goal .

     

     

    Thank God Jamesie Forrest was watching him and thought ‘I’ll have a go at that’ !

  30. GFTB on

    We are rubbish at corners but in the order of balance anybody want to take a shot about our goals from open play surely we don’t get too many penalties and don’t score many free kicks since Henke & Naka…. so our goals from open play statistics must no be too bad …. or does that not suit :-)

    ohh hang on…

  33. lets all do the huddle ? on

    as for corners

     

     

    why dont we stick a player in front of the first defender if all our corners currently hit said first defender? ?

    Best we’ve played all year was v St Johnstone away, when Griff, Ryan Christie and Tom Rogic were magnificent along with Jamesie and Calmac.

     

     

    I don’t do Sky or CQN during away matches, so it was the golf for me .

     

    Walking off the 11th my wife texted 0-0 after 91 minutes.

     

    Split the 12th fairway with pent up frustration drive only for BSR to call to relate the joy of French Eddie.

     

     

    Always great to score late winners.

     

    We will play better once our more creative players return.

     

    Just great the team are still capable of grinding out victories.

     

    The 8th is close.

    Was starting to run out of Saints to pray to there, Scotland’s own, St Andrew, St Columba the man who should be Scotland’s patron Saint, St Kilda, the Saint that emigrated to Melbourne, and St Jude because it was beginning to look that bad, but it was the Bhoy from the Rock, that finally delivered! Hail Hail glorious St Patrick!

    I attach NFL’s post match interview for those who haven’t seen it.

     

     

    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RNT11yoaQo0

     

     

    I think it’s also important to nail this nonsense about allegedly “disgraceful” comments being unacceptable & those who don’t share the critics’ alternative opinions are somehow less worthy or less of a fan.

     

     

    Your expectations are yours – not mine or anyone else’s.

     

    You do not have the casting vote of who is or isn’t a proper Celtic fan – whatever that is – in someone’s eyes.

     

    There’s Celtic fans of every stripe & texture around & on a good day we can hardly agree on our best team or even MOTM.

     

     

    If you’re happy with todays performance – I don’t understand.

     

    If you’re relieved that we got the 3 points and ignored the performance – I can understand that.

     

    If you were frustrated by our poor play, lack of energy, aimless passing, poor corners & more but said nothing – I can understand that.

     

    If you want to blame Madden – I don’t understand that at all. He sometimes was as bonkers as he normally is – but no more than that. I thought he should have given a penalty for the tug on Sinclair but at the other end I’d have been unhappy if he’d given that against us.

     

    If you want to credit Dundee with stout defending that neutralized our scintillating play – then I only half agree. They defended effectively but we made it easy for them & rarely looked like we knew what pass to play or to whom for over 90 minutes. NFL says as much in his interview, but he is softer than some fans on here were but you’d expect that.

     

    If you thought our starting line up was spot on – then I don’t understand that. Johnson is a decent wee player but rarely looks up & still thinks that mazy dribbles are an end product in and of themselves. He set up a chance early in the 2nd half but otherwise was ineffectual & this a passenger. I have to assume that some players were injured in addition to Boyata – eg Bitton, Hendry – why else would you put a half fit just returning from injury Benkovic on the bench – especially when you are already fielding a makeshift CB pairing. Ajer may even have been carrying an injury from the start as to me, he looked much less like his usual self.

     

    If you don’t like others not seeing the game the way you do/did – then I understand that. What I don’t understand is denying them the right to say what they feel about the team they love. I don’t know what kind of world some must live in, but I repeatedly read views on here and elsewhere that I disagree with but I could not dream of actually suggesting that YOU have no right to say it. OR worse for me – that if you say it you are not a Celtic fan at all.

     

     

    I have no monopoly on what constitutes or who is a Celtic fan. Neither does anyone else & if you don’t agree – then I don’t understand that & never will.

     

     

    There’s been a serious bump in the road for our team – one that would have derailed almost any other club & team. A manager who radically overhauled the footballing function at the club left abruptly with no thought to continuity. Neil Lennon came in and the players responded with another bump that saw us past Hertz & Hibs. Last minute winners are something of a tradition for us, but too many of these are likely indicative of much more than a team “that never gives up”. Good fortune for one & lack of imagination or composure for the preceding 90 minutes for another.

     

     

    Today, I had no idea where a goal would come from. It was clear very early on that they were going to play for a point and try to sneak a goal. At that point we needed to have a plan B – and we surely must prepare one considering all the times we face this kind of opposition tactic. Instead, we kept doing what we did against Aberdeen with the same result – nearly. Since they packed their half of the field leaving Kenny Miller to harrass or defence our plan A tactic of launching direct attacks into their half was a decent starting point, but really, the only tactic we could employ? Drawing them out of position or even being sharper & quicker in transition when they were around our goal should have been a prepared plan B – but I never saw it once.

     

    Into the bargain, the same malaise affected our play as it did against Aberdeen – defendeers /central midfielders with the ball & looking to pass it forward & no real movement from those ahead of them. A line of four players moving slowly in formation towards the Dundee goal, one on each flank and 2 sort of in the middle – but no swapping posiitons, crossing over or anything that might challenge the defence. Last week against Aberdeen, this was known as the “Bitton & Brown doesn’t work” scenario. We all, me included, cried out for the return of McGregor, Christie & Rogic. Strangely though, we got what we asked for – a little anyway – Bitton out & Calmac in. Even more strangely though it made zero difference to how we played against a team set up in exactly the same manner as last week. In short, whatever was wrong last week was still wrong today, but today we were lucky & got the goal.

     

     

    Did anyone really think that we were going to score – seriously?

     

    The game had 1-0 written all over it – but for the home team. The more desperate we became in trying to score the more, (subs & formation changes) we left ourselves exposed & I half expected them to sneak a spawny goal. For me it was that kind of game.

     

    As it hapened they were stretched in midfield when Eddie picked the ball up & for once someone ran from inside to out (Forrest) losing his marker for a second, then beating him. Without looking up he pulled it back into the danger area & Odsonne finished.

     

     

    Neil Lennon was a conflicted man in that interview: clearly delighted to do “what we set out to do” – get the gap to 10 points, but unhappy at the performance. If you don’t hear that in the interview – then once again I don’t understand. Almost word for word he said the same as he said after the Aberdeen game – minus the psychological bit, and since he is the interim coach & we’re told he’d like the job permanently, the onus is on him to prep the team. He knows that we were poor & he knows that we rode our luck to get the points, but a prepared team playing against a team fighting for their survival would know exactly how the game would pan out – and plan for that.

     

    I didn’t see that kind of performance from Celtic today.

     

    I compliment & praise when we merit it & often say nothing at all in the face of poor performances & tactics.

     

     

    I refuse to blind myself to a clear reality because I’m not allowed or supposed to – according to one school of thought.

     

    Some, maybe me, perhaps got carried away – but so what. I had a headache & a faster pulse after the game today. As for my long suffering wife, she was as relieved as I was when we scored – but for additional reasons I fear. We still danced around like two old eejits when Eddie scored – then we sat down and let out a huge sigh of relief.

     

     

    Another school of thought has it that raising children to think they are princesses & princes is the wrong kind of parenting and sugar coating stuff only harms the child in the long run. The corollary is that always telling them how bad they are is just as bad, maybe worse. So perhaps my reality is just not yours, nor yours mine – or just maybe there’s room for us all & that we each have a different way of supporting Celtic through those ups & downs – in our very different I& divergent lives.

     

     

    I try to remain calm & on an even keel but one of my hobbies is sometimes shouting at the television – so I’m told – for 90 plus minutes when Celtic are playing. Maybe to fully enjoy highs you need to feel the lows & I know that we all feel those lows. Some remain quiet, others comment philosophically or humourously while some vent a spleen – at times.

     

     

    For the record I’m neither a docile happyclapper nor revolutionary mineshafter.

     

     

    Have a great rest of St Patricks Day.

    LETS ALL DO THE HUDDLE

     

     

    No of course not but the snp cohorts are huns who try to claim we are a modern civiiised society which, as long as they pamper to the anti-Irish, anti-Catholic, anti-Celtic Neanderthals, will never ever enter the 21 st century.

     

     

    Best wee bigoted country in the world.

     

     

    Led by a bunch of bigoted wee nationalists.
