  2. setting free the bears on

    Great Great Great Great Great result!

     

     

    Did I tell you that was GREAT!

     

     

    Obviously, it’s the result and not the performance but there were enough good things to counterbalance the weaknesses and the raggedness.

     

     

    Forster was magnificent and I am proud that a few of us defended him against the judgementalists in our support because he was always good and just needed time and maturity to improve even more. He will get even better but, like every keeper that ever played, he will ship a goal now and then that will behis fault.

     

     

    Kris Commons has football intelligence that delights. If you love football, you’ll love what he can do with a ball. Does not always track back but he is always making a run when we attack. I’d play him as striker.

     

     

    James Forrest took the initiative away from Helsingborg and made them think about us for a change. He is already a star and he’s just had his 21st birthday.

     

     

    Thomas Rogne had a CB partner who had a bit of a mare tonight. His LB played well but was missing from defence at times and Adam Matthews was too wound up and nervous. Beram did not screen the defence and was hooked but Thomas plugged as much as he could and kept the score to 0 along with his keeper.

     

     

    I hope Jordan Rhodes scored his last Huddersfield goal tonight and we move on with a CB too.

     

     

    Life is good. Life is great.

     

     

    Even the miserabilists must crack a smile tonight. Some of them kbew we had no chance in the last round :-)

    Delighted we have put down a marker on qualifying for the CL Group stages – would be happy to qualify and perform well at home finishing no worse than 3rd.

     

     

    The opportunity to play a 2-leg tie pre-Christmas for a place in the last 16 of the Europa Cup in 2013 would be a fantastic achievement for such a young team.

     

     

    I sincerely hope that CFC (board & management) see this as the minimum target this season.

     

     

    Roll-on European nights!

    Hate to disappoint you but I swear inter didn’t qualify for this years CL……. ;0)

     

     

    Hail Hail!

     

     

    Ps how’s things?

  7. Hugh Bonkle fae Dallas on

    Love Milly Clode on Sky Sports News.

     

    “while Celtic were taking a huge step towards the Champions League, Rangers (Sevco) were playing Falkirk in the Ramsden Cup in front of 6000 fans”

    Hey mad Mitch

     

     

    Having a laff at your expense tonite

     

     

    How much is it hurting?

     

     

    Lol

  9. lionroars67 on

    What a good week

     

     

    Excelllent business getting 6 mill for Ki

     

     

    Fanatstic result tonight lost our way in midfield after a brillant start

     

     

    Lenny made good changes second half, turned the game around

     

     

    Well done Fraser Forster absolutely superb performance, wouldnt sell you for any less than 10 mill after tonight

     

     

    So looking forward to the rest of the week at work

     

     

    Great night to be a Celtic man

  10. Big Vic Mugabe puts the Tick into Celtic on

    Actually it seemed that the forced change of bringing Mulgrew into central midfield in place of Kayal helped the team a lot. He shielded the CBs much better than was the case in maybe 40-50 mins of play when we had Kayal, Brown and Ledley all playing in a line that allowed their players to find space between the lines. And the three further chances that we created in the second half were really impressive, especially as an away team in the CL.

    Sad to see you’re still fouling the air on CQN but happy to scroll past your usual rubbish.

     

     

    Sincerely hope you don’t have anyone living with you.

    Agree 100%. It was atactic that big Jock used when teams put the shutters up. If you were about then, you must remember games when we just ran teams into the ground then whacked them in the last 15/20 minutes. Do not give a whatever tonight. For joy, this is right up there because of its implications for the club and above all the support. Let’s all do the huddle. I’ll just get the dug from under the bed as the wife’s sleeping.

    Great, great result! I’ve seen us play better in Europe and get beat. Well done Kris and big Sammi.

     

    Mad Mitch yer no a hun but you’re a poor, poor Celtic supporter.

     

    Watched the game on ITV HD thanks to some posters on here. Just watching the recording on STV and I’m expecting Arthur “the jaiket” Montford to be commentating. What a terrible picture, but still I’ll enjoy it anyway.

    great result. totally forgot about the first leg.of an unprecedented quadruple of the ramsdens cup etc.

     

    Great to be a tim

  16. navanbhoy on

    Fraser Forster was IMMENSE tonight, well done big man. I still had doubts about him until half way through last season but by god he is makng up for it now. What a difference a commanding goalkeeper has made already.

     

     

    James Forrest made a MASSIVE difference when he came on and Charlie Mulgrew definately calmed down the midfield when moved in there

     

     

    Apart from that not much else positive about the performance BUT what a result Brilliant scoreline.

     

    If we can start the next leg how we played the last half hour we will be through.

     

     

    Mon the HOOPS

  20. acoustamatix on

    forster was immense

     

     

    the geordie green giant

     

     

    a bit of a pinball game at times but at last we managed to put a couple of moves in the net and keep a clean sheet away from home

     

     

    seems like all the commentators were tripping over their bottom lips though, don’t worry boys, we won the coronation cup, we won big one first, we’re not going anywhere soon…

  21. goldstar10 on

    Any of the media monkeys still saying Neil Lennon does not know how to win big games?

     

    Any of the media monkeys still highlighting Celtic’s away European record?

     

     

    We are almost there, still a huge game before us next Wednesday.

     

     

    Fraser Forster- what a buy, at £2m he has (hopefully) repaid his fee tenfold tonight.

  22. viewfaethewindae on

    Well done Celtic and well done Neil Lennon.

     

    Big goalkeeper is world class and will play for England. Well done to Neil for recognising Kayal for what he is, pity he didn’t bin him after Kilmarnock. Couple of things for me, keep we Jamsie fit for the return and moving forward play Charlie left of midfield. Job nearly done, just need to score first at Celtic Park.

    Off to bed – up early in the morning – sweet dreams – you bet

    ANLH @ 22.08

     

     

    Our performances are all to often determined by our players hormones / biorhythms.

     

    NL and the coaching seems to have far too little effect for my liking.

     

     

    I am over the moon that we have managed a great result away from home in Europe.

     

    It has been coming for far too long.

     

     

    However what are your thoughts for the weekend?

     

    I fear we will have a RC Mk2.

     

     

    When we burst ICT then I will feel we have moved on, grown up.

     

    My gripe is that individually we have a huge amount of talent, far above our level of performance.

     

     

    We stopped the 10 with a lot less ability.

  26. RobertTressell on

    Hamiltontim – if Fraser gets a game or two for England I think £10 million will be the benchmark for the inevitable EPL ‘swoop’.

     

     

    I was thinking at times this evening that if we can keep the core of this team together for four years or so we will be having some great european nights with them. Hopefully our ‘assets’ will hang around. If we can get CL money, sell the occasional valuable periferal player like Ki and keep unearthing the Kayal, Wanyama types then we are well on the way to getting the ‘football systems/ operations’ right.

     

     

    Great night. See you all tomorrow!

  29. Emeralda on

    That’s the kind of away performance I would take every time! Well done Lenny and the Bhoys! Should have been five though and they had too much possession for my liking : ) Don’t the new hoops look magic?….well the non champs league ones without the daft white patch!

  30. craggy island gaa on

    Said to Mrs Craggy before the game that I was going to stay off the blog until full time as some of the comments might unnerve me more than the match itself.

     

     

    Reading back through I am glad I chose this method.

     

     

    A game lasts 90 minutes and no analysis is required until the 90 minutes are up. That’s how I like to do it anyway.

     

     

    Well done to Neil and the team, the performance was inconsistent but the result was ideal.

     

     

    Half time in the tie 2-0 up with the home leg to come.

     

     

    I’ll take that kind of pressure any day.

  31. hen1rik on

    Brilliant Celtic just brilliant.

     

     

    A lot of people won’t be happy after that result, 15-20 million coming our way on top of Ki transfer.

     

     

    Big Fraser immense and Commons looks as fit as he’s ever been.

  32. THE EXILED TIM on

    Where are all the usual suspects ????

     

     

    Nowhere to be seen, we won, and won well.

     

     

    1st half, I reckon we scored too early, but we rode our luck.

     

     

    2nd half, kudos to the coaches, they saw the problems and fixed them.

     

     

    OVER THE FECKIN MOON.

  33. ItaliaBhoy on

    I see Sevco made it to the Ramsden’s Cup Group stages.

     

     

    Huge result for them, in only their fourth competitive game.

     

     

    Where’s the draw?

     

     

    The Savoy Centre, with Big Tam fae the Port officiating?

    Superb response to the proclaimers of doom

     

     

    just watch you dont get stuck in MadM/KEV/SYDNEY/timbhoy2/AWEnaw mode

     

     

    ps Sorry to those i missed

  38. Vic Ajax on

    Ah still think that everyone is forgetting that the nervousness fae the manager about this tie must have filtered through to the team.

     

    In the circumstances ah thought the played p*** but got the result.

     

    Outstanding!!!

  40. Ulster-Celt on

    Not long home,watched the replay without knowing the score. ITV London are trying to tell me Celtic who scored two conceded nil and hit the bar twice were somehow lucky

     

     

    All hail Neil lennon

    Nothing, but nothing, can detract from an away win in Europe,a clean sheet and the prospect of joining the elite of Europe in competition. The big boys. Where we belong….oh,yes,we do.

     

    As my mrs. just said to me :”You’re a big bhoy now.” I just took that at face value…..

     

    Unbridled joy at tonight’s result. Not an easy task….but we did it. HH!

    We gave the ball away cheaply but if we can improve that aspect of our game in Europe we will do well.
