The James Forrest Feedback Club were quiet last night. I’ve no idea if James will rediscover his form on a sustained basis, or if his limbs will allow him to attain his potential, but it was good to see him running at defenders with confidence again.
He got the measure of John Rankin early on. Thereafter the United marker could do little more than block James whenever they faced-off.
I’ve been impressed with Dundee United during this series of games. Fojut held things together remarkably well at Hampden, you can see why we signed him subject to a medical, while Ryan McGowan was clearly their best player at Celtic Park, notwithstanding his late lunge at Liam Henderson. Well done to McGowan for coming onto Twitter to share apologies and congratulations.
Nadir Ciftci’s swagger reminded me of Jackie Dziekanowski in his latter days as a Celtic player. He’s probably found his level at United, where he can turn it on at will, but the modern game is looking for something different.
Loved the moment when a fouled Nir Bitton ruffled the hair of his assailant, Aiden Connolly. Nir is growing by the week, I’m working hard to avoid comparisons. We’ve not seen much of an edge from him since that, mistimed, tackle against Ajax, but he could do with some of that in-your-face attitude others in the midfield have.
Not been online much since the game, what suspension have the SFA offered Paul Paton after his altercation with Anthony Stokes?
Keep your eyes peeled for a nomad. They can hide in bins and outhouses. Check your shed. Any will do.

NIR Bitton is his own man.how someone can come on here and say he reminds of George Connelly is not on.
It’s called havin’ an opinion…
Or is that no allowed any more ?

An alphabet of the Celts

“Somebody will have to invent a position
This kid can’t play …Connelly is perhaps
The greatest discovery made by celtic since the war”
George Connelly was the kid jock Stein
Sent out before the cup-winners cup tie
With dinamo Kiev on January 12th 1966 before 64,000
To entertain with a nerveless

Maybe so. But where could they find one?

They are definitely donald ducked unless the lying king and his real rankers men dig deep.
Gene
that’s good enough for me
Good Evening Timland.
Kris and Lisa visited the maternity unit in the Southern today,
I missed them unfortunately,a hun told me they were absolute
class.
Can’t stay and chat, busy bhoy that I am.
Everton should be pumping teams like this
Steve McManaman
Lots of good, intelligent comments on the blog today.
Apart from the usual Numpties, of course.
Any word of Paton being cited yet?
Gene
Dig deeep huh ?
About 6’0″ down should do it :-)
Why can an appeal not be heard before Sunday.
If that clown plays I can see somebody clattering him.
He started it all against Anto just before the VVD sending off in the first game.
This appeal process is becoming a joke.
Time to wake up and really hammer these people and their clubs.
Some goal for Kiev there.
Everton going out.
What a goal by dynamo Kiev. Everton out. Best league in the world. Aye right
Great goal Kiev 5-1
Kiev giving the Toffees a right lickin’. 5-1 so far and some goals they were too.
That lad, Antunes, that just pinged in a worldly against Everton, we tried to sign him when either Mowbray or WGS was in charge.
Pretty sure. Off to check google
Maybe we should take a leaf out of the legal appeals book. If a ban is upheld,give the appeals panel the power to increase the length of the original ban. That mihjt. sort out chancers like Jackie MacNamara condoning the thuggish behaviour of their players
So the teams from the best league in the world go one round further than a poor Celtic team.
Wonder how Everton would fare against inter?
mihjt =might
Deary me an absolute spanking for Everton, my mate will be gutted.
Two weeks after “taking power” the options are already narrowing for King and his people.

Trouble is in the air at Ibrox. Again.
This could get really, really embarrassing for Everton.Apparently Barcelona should have taken about eight off Man City last night.
5-2
Yeah, knew I recognised the name
http://www1.skysports.com/football/news/11781/3779086/antunes-keen-on-celtic-move
Everton get one back and the stoopid ITV commentator says “you never know, they’re only 2 goals behind”. :-)))))))
6-4 – is this the best of 3 sets?
Theglasgowcelticway
Timing is everything!

Stramash at the end as well as goals and Anto red

Here’s the thing about the EPL. You can pay players 10 or 20 times what they will earn in the SPL or in most other euro leagues.
But it doesn’t make the players 10 or,20 times better.
If Mccarthy or mcarthur or mcgeady were at Celtic on 10k a week I’m not sure they’d be making any bigger a contribution than the current crop of players. They are not three times as good as Scott Brown et al, although they may be three times more expensive to pay.
The EPL is full of good or decent players who are now outpriced for most clubs in Europe in terms of wages but who would not be wanted by most of the top clubs who could afford them. Mcgeady – I.like him, good player, but who in Europe could pay him what Everton do? Those that can wouldn’t want him IMO.
Repeat for 80% of players in that league.
In short, EPL is an overpriced, over rated, bloated ego fest….

The commentator of the Everton said at 10 mins to go the reputation of a nation depends on this result. Enough said. They’re out.

That is a puerile attempt………
