    Don’t read back,bud-we were calling you names in your absence!

     

     

    Just kidding. Good to have you back where you belong.

     

     

    Be even better if you nipped along to CP one day,mind.

    I could be wrong but did Scott actually connect for his goal? It looks to me like it only came of the Hertz player. Scott certainly caused it but I think he didn’t touch with his instep.

    Did LG really cross the ball or was he actually trying a shot? Did BR really want to send SS on or was it a forced change? OMG any other ways to find a negative after such a super victory and a wonderful goal?

    I agree.Hearts should be up on a team disorder charge with their 7 bookings.

  4. I caught bits of the first half and then most of the second right up until the end. A fantastic result against a team that was trying to bully us (obviously thought the same frailties of last season could be exposed) but they failed. They kicked us, barged us, and tried to cheat us but a winning mentality shone through in the Celtic team. The bhoys stuck together and kept going. BR’s tactics were spot on – 3 different systems in a single half could be considered madness…or is it genius? ;)

     

     

    The winning goal was a thing of beauty…and very impressive in terms of athleticism.

     

     

    Still work to do but what a great opening day result and showing of resilience. Bounced into work today.

  5. Also, that’s two teams in a row we have faced that have very poor discipline and tried to turn the game into a kicking match: Astana and Hearts. Will Motherwell go for 3 in a row?

  6. Just looked at the table and Celtic are languishing in THIRD place – despite having a hugely superior budget. What is PL doing about that and so much for BR great managerial skills.

     

     

    BTW SS is on a yellow card and the thug who almost broke KT’s leg is also on a yellow card

  7. mullet and co 2 on

    Not the first time a ref has viewed or has been told about to footage during a game.

     

     

    4 th officials are fond of wandering near TVs showing replays during games.

     

     

    They get the message to the ref.

     

     

    Where is that in the rules?

     

     

    Dougie Dougie?

  8. Kevjungle, glad to see you back.

     

    Don’t know why BR was not snapped up down here or abroad. Yesterday’s post match interview was quite astounding! Don’t think I’ve ever seen a manager invited to do a full studio interview straight after a game before. If it was prearranged well good on BR. Can you imagine how uncomfortable it would have been for him if the result hadn’t gone our way? The gloating of McCann and Tanner? Big baws has our Brendan.

  9. As one of the lucky ones to get a ticket amongst our reduced allocation at Tynecastle.

     

    I always enjoy a win there.

     

    Ayebrokes ,Pittodrie and Tynecastle will be our most difficult away venues.

     

     

    So winning there was big.

     

     

    As many will know I always have a critical eye when watching Celtic.

     

     

    The manger got his tactics right.

     

     

    Toure had a very good game.

     

    Brown had a really good game.

     

    Forrest was a mixed bag ,sometimes great ,sometimes pathetic.

     

     

    We lack power in the tackle in midfield.

     

    Dembele continues to impersonate Bangura.

     

     

    Griffiths is a jewel.

     

     

    Sinclair took his goal well and has pace.

     

     

    I hope he isn’t lightweight .

     

    Rogic had a shocker when he came on.

     

    Tierney is a Celtic warrior.

     

    O’Connell did well ,but needs to keep it simple .

     

     

    All in all .

     

    A great three points ,but the performance was not great ,especially in the second half.

     

     

    Much to do to qualify for the CL.

  10. Watched game on sky.

     

    Andy walker, media titan your analysis of the hearts penalty is just wrong.cheating to get results is why our game is broke.

     

     

    Celtic, well done on that hard fought victory. Another week on,winning learning as we go, good subs again as posters point out switchin tactically at the back and of course Sinclairs goal,!:-).we look comfortable in possession and sloppy passes are decreasing.

     

    Looking forward to Motherwell game on wednesday.well done to every Celtic fan attending.

    BR was not snapped up for 1 reason, he didn’t fancy anything offered to him while earning a fantastic wage, Dermott & Peter came calling with a wee carrot or a bag of nuts and the squirrel in Brendan took the bait

    No work on a Monday the Boomtown Rats knew their stuff, apologies for the animal references but I suppose as the song goes

     

     

    We don’t care what the animals say..

    If there was a silver lining at all (big if i know) over the cup semi shoot out last season, it is that it has produced unrealistic expectations and sense of entitlements to the tribute followers. Which is astounding really. A ”club” that has put together a team for free from the lower leagues of english football are no different from the vast majority of spfl teams. One of my bluenose acquaintances told me at the start of the season he didnt think there was much difference between them and us. I just laughed and shook my head. No point in trying to reason with the deluded.

  13. Hoop hoop Hooray on

    As for the opening days engineered fixtures. Our two main rivals have dropped points as did the orcs

  14. Joe Filippis Haircut on

    Morning Bhoys I think Brendan Rodgers is loving being at Celtic and Scotland he is seen by the media as the big fish in a small pond also the fans have taken to him.If he had gotten an EPL club he would be well down the pecking order of managers. Up here at the moment he is number one. H.H.

  15. Hoop hoop Hooray

     

     

    You are quite right. Their expectations for their limited team of mercenaries are hovering somewhere above the stratosphere. Joey Barton may soon begin to feel a little bit like Felix Baumgartner…

  16. Mountblow tim on

    Good morning CQN

     

     

    Garryfaethebrig all is well still on holiday with daughter

     

    Up a our caravan in St Andrews

     

     

    Should be back to the real world this week

     

     

    hope all is well with you and family

     

     

    Team looking good and playing well

     

     

    It’s garand being a Tim these days

     

     

    Keep the Faith

    ” Going for 55″

     

     

     

    I’m confused.

     

     

     

    Was that referring to:

     

     

     

    Average age of the team?-

     

     

    ————————————————–

     

     

    Its points. Thought that was obvious. One on the boatd already. They should be well pleased

    Young niece & family had my wee girl up at St Andrews on Thursday, they had a great time, if Scotland could guarantee the weather even for a week there would be no need to fly anywhere, enjoy the rest of your break…… I think the result in Gibraltar has worked in Brendan’s favour and the players seem to be responding (by the way a lot of the same players cost Ronny his job) although if it wasn’t for Ronny we wouldn’t have Brendan :-)

  19. I don`t know if it matters but two Hearts players were also blocking their `keeper`s view.

     

     

    Yesterday, William Hill had Dundee at 4/1 to beat the New Rangers at Dens Park this coming Saturday. Hmmm…

    Barton disnae need a parachute or safety harness. F…..g straitjacket he needs.

     

     

    Some of his “tackles” on Saturday were deserving of cards. One in particular would get him his P45 from any team I was involved with.

  21. SydneyTim says sack Lawell now on

    The signing of Scott Sinclair shows indeed the Lawell era has gone

     

     

    For 5 years his policy was strict regarding the signing of forwards

     

    Had to be right age and a project

     

     

    It failed dramatically and cost financially in signing duds and lost European income ran into the tens of millions

     

     

    Scott has proven himself before and when his contract runs out he will be wrong side of 30

     

     

    Boom he scores Sorry Peter you have been proved wrong Why are you still at celtic park ?

  22. Sydneytim

     

    Early days. I advise caution in your hyperbolic praise of Celtic after such a good result.

  23. Hot Smoked

     

    I’ve got Dundee to win 2-1 in predictor league. That’s not heart ruling head, that’s my belief as to the merits of both sides.

     

    I’ll be backing my judgement with hard cash.

    SYDNEYTIM

     

     

    TPL might be balancing current needs in terms of satisfying the requirements of BR,DD and the support against the prospect of riding out the storm and reinforcing his status over the next two years or so.

     

     

    A lot of things can change over such a period. Managers,for one.

  25. Garryfeathebrig

     

     

    St Andrews is a lovely place with loads to do

     

    For all ages

     

     

    Glad the family had a good time

     

     

    Have a great day

    I’m sure his descent shall be slowed by the thermals produced by the SMSM blowing smoke up his arse.

     

    The BBC full match analysis of him is truly cringeworthy. And yet, there is no minute by minute analysis of the highest profile player on show in SPFL at the weekend; Kolo Toure?

     

     

    Here is my analysis: he was bloody brilliant!

  27. I spent a wonderful day yesterday watching the game in a right good Tim pub, the Captain Morgan in Hayes. Great wee boozer full of wonderful Ghirls and Bhoys.

     

    I was just about to leave when I met old time CQN’r Cyrenian (sp?) for the first time. What a gent! I’ve not met a CQN’r yet who isn’t. Well that was the cue for me staying for an extended drinking session, a natter and a great wee sing song. If you are ever in that area a visit to Captain Morgan’s is a must. Many of the guys travel quite a distance to watch the game there.

    Sorry to hear about your mother. I have a buddy out in Burma right now, but alas you are not there. I have been getting him into supporting Celtic and he has a few of us over for the mid week games. Figured I would see if there were any fellow Tims out his way and found you!
