  1. Decent first half from us, Griffiths could have added to the lead.

     

    Forrest having his best game for a while, wonder if that’ a coincidence?

     

    I thought the ref wasn’t too bad, until he gave the penalty, clear daylight between Tierney and the diving cheat.

     

     

    Back at them from the whistle and we will win.

    That’s a good point. We can look forward to the Compliance Officer issuing the cheat with a two-match ban.

     

     

    Just in time for their game against the huns.

    Thought both goals were dodgy to be honest. Armstrong interfering with play, Walker dive.

  4. macjay1 for Neil Lennon on

    A big task for Brendan now.

     

    What call will he make ?

     

    Interesting to see.

    Ye better get used to this cheating folks.

     

    It will be on an unprecedented level this season.

     

    Celtic playing reasonably well,but the midfield,as usual,a massive problem.

     

    We really need two hard midfielders.

     

    Refereeing is outrageous though.

     

    Never a penalty in a million years.Blatant dive.Shocking.

  6. Hearts is always a difficult ground to get points from and today’s 2nd half will be another such occasion. Apart from their falsely won penalty- they have scorned an open goal and had several shooting chances, as have we.

     

     

    The game will be won by whoever takes their chances now.

     

     

    BTW- Andy Walker has always been consistent on this- agree with him or not. He is stating that cheating to win penalties was part of the game when he was a young pro breaking through and he learned to adapt and do the same as a player. He is telling the truth in saying that pens have been won by going down against minimal or expected contact both by Celtic players and by their opponents.

     

     

    The big difference is in the willingness of Scottish refs to award in those contrasting situations.

  7. dr ramesh and the love potion on

    Brown playing very well but we can only play 1 of McGregor or Armstrong. Playing both makes us to lightweight. I’d play Mcgregor 1st. He’s a better and more effective footballer than Armstrong.

     

    The defence is a bit shaky but that’s normal seeing as they haven’t really played together.

     

    Forrest had a couple of great moments. If could be more involved and consistent he has something to offer.

     

    Griffiths needs to readjust his shooting boots. Dumbbell not doing much but on a couple of occasions when running at the defence he cause panic.

     

     

    Ref conned by walker.

     

     

    Watt is still a handful. A waste of talent.

  8. Lots of work to do.

     

    Half finished performance.

     

    Some positives but overall a bit weak for T/castle.

     

     

    JF playing well, just needs to mix it up.

  9. glendalystonsils on

    Other than Brown, there is no protection in front of our defence. Hearts finding it too easy to get up on to our back line. Agree we should get Johansen and Sinclair on.

    Overall I think the players have performed well. But Armstrong and McGregor have not.

     

    Yup…..Spot on!

  11. The central mid area lacks strength.

     

    This should be our signing priority

     

    Brown only presence there

    Did you crib my post?

     

     

    Hope yer smashin’,bud.

    Cheating is part of the game the question is what to do when it’s as obvious as their penalty. Walker clearly thinks making such a comment is enough if that is the response then cheating will take over.

  14. They have gained in confidence.

     

    Starting to up the level physicality.

     

     

    Aka — putting the boot in.
