  1. I gather from my mate that Burley has been totally anti-Celtic in his commentary so far. Time to hurt ESPN by stopping the subscriptions. My mate reckons the sending off was on the soft side but that 2 of them should have been sent off for “tackles” on James Forrest, one of which resulted in not even a booking.

  2. when the ball is in the air the player has a look at sammi before he jumps.to me Red then im biased,tokely and the left back getting away with murder,Gordon Strachan talking sense on espn

     

    Wanyama so young but what a future

  3. Poor physical away SPL encounter

     

     

    Stokes should have done better goals change football matches

     

     

    Poor refereeing allied to a pitch which has long grass not helping the game

     

     

    Hooper being carried, no contribution from him

     

     

    Kayal has to be careful 2nd half

    HT ICT 0-0 Celtic

     

     

    Those who don’t have video today – congratulations – you are not missing anything. We have struggled to string more than 3 passes together and when we do finally get the ball up to Stokes and Hooper, both have wasted everything that has come their way.

     

     

    The ICT sending off should work for us because we were playing with a man down in midfield with Sammy wandering around down the left hand side and not bothering to track back when we are not in possession. He has won a couple of headers but no-one has been able to cash in. EL K behind Sammy not having the best of games. Pass marks to Wanyama, Mathews and Forrest.

     

     

    Lenny needs to get the midfield sorted. Get Kayal and Sammi off for Commons and Paddy. Push Forrest and Paddy wide right and left and push Stokes and Hooper way up front.

     

     

    We need to keep possession and speed things up. An early goal and the ICT heads will go down.

  5. Get down to the bookies and put your house on O’Reilly sending off one of our players.

     

     

    Kyal would be my prediction.

     

     

    Just beat this mob and get out of their midden.

  6. We need to up the work rate front guys hooper stokes forest have got to make runs stretch their defence we are so slow and laboured

     

    Move the ball quicker Celtic

  7. From kick off ICT were dirty fouling bassa’s according to most of our posters,someone sent off for a hand in the face and it wasn’t a ordering off.FFS make up your minds I’m reading the blog and it seems when Celtic are on the ball and a tackle goes in, the opposition are cheating effin Bassa’s without a show of a yellow card,and when the callie player is sent off,it shouldn’t have been an ordering off.

    You are 100% correct – lets hope Lenny can motivate them because he certainly cant tell them where to play tactically.

     

     

    As you say he has picked Samaras wide left and told the defence to play long diagonal balls to him – nothing wrong with that but he appears to have told Stokes and Hooper to stay towards the right of the pitch…

     

     

    if a ball goes up to samaras one of them needs to be standing within 5 yards of him by the time it reaches him!

     

     

    The school boy tactics are depressing

    red card Рspot on mate. He hit Sammi in th̩ face with intent. Its th̩ refs d̩cision that its red

  10. Slap in the face for a Celtic player – not a red card?, you could hear the contempt for Sammi in Burley’s reaction after he had watched the replay – Hunpundittry at it’s worst.

     

     

    For Burley see Traynor see Hateley yada yada yada

  11. Poor first half but then again when we are not allowed to play flowing football by the long grass and hammer throwing then it is a day for digging in.

     

     

    How that Gillett has not had a yellow is beyond me. Ditto Tokely. Harsh red though.

     

     

    Hooper miles off the pace, Stokes decission making poor.

     

     

    Neil should consider removing Kayal before O’Reilly does it for him.

     

     

    May be another afternoon for our mercurial Irishman to dig us out a hole.

  12. Why are some guys HIving an Argument aboot the

     

    Red Card Decision?

     

     

    That a Done deal..

     

     

    Look , we should be worrying how badly this team of ours are

     

     

    BEING..so

     

     

    ILL-COACHED..

     

     

    Our Players have no Understanding,between them..

     

     

    No sign of having a System, oan how to Attack…

     

     

    It is Deplorable, Professional Players.. are playing like a Tuesday works Team.. oan

     

    the Fifty Pitches..

     

     

    and..

     

    Again..

     

     

    I am No .. Exaggerating!

     

     

    Ah wid Fire.. oor Coaching Staff..

     

     

    No Lenny..

     

     

    His Staff. they are Picking up a Paycheck..

     

     

    Useless.

  13. Got to win today, performance is as bad as ever this season.

     

     

    Need’s width, Commons for Hooper

  14. we are doing ok. ICT are doing what they always do. They break up the play with fouls and they work hard. It’s not an environment for silky stuff. ICT can’t keep up this level of effort with 10 men. The ref has had a decent game. Got both bookings correct, the red was a 50/50 whether it was ed or yellow. the only poor decision was not booking Tokeley for pulling back Hooper

     

     

    C67 commentary team much better with the new guy. New innovation has the subscriber name in the top right hand corner of screen. Thats the end of the illegal streams from that source, Quite clever really

  15. It was a deserved red.

     

     

    A quick GLANCE at Sammy, a backwards jump INTO Sammy, a LEADING arm, hand makes CONTACT with Sammys face, Elbow/arm makes CONTACT with the side of Sammys head. INTENT.

     

     

    They will appeal and have it reduced to a yellow in my opinion but a deserved red none the less.

     

     

    More importantly, where is the protection for our playmaker? James Forrest has been subject to several late and ‘over the ball’ challenges in an attempt to injure him.

     

     

    We are playing on the deck through JF and in the air through GS. Both players have been targeted for ‘rough’ treatment.

     

     

    I agree with several posters that the ref will watch the red card incident at half time and attempt to even things up second half.

    Everyone first impression was it was an elbow and a red card.That tells its own story.The referee was poorly position but his position would reinforce the first impressions.

     

     

    After several replays, it looks a fairly tame incident that would probably merit a yellow

  17. Parkheadcumsalford

     

     

    for us bhoys abroad without Sky and ESPN willing to show a piss poor league we’d never see thé Tic

  18. you would think after the last time we played here that we would have played with three solid midfielders as to two wide men like we did last time. i think we should ALWAYS start with only one wide player because we can always change it if needed, if we start with two wide men you can’t change it if you lose a goal, it’s to late then. WGS used to play two wide men and we had a lot of succes from it but neil lennon can’t get it right.

  19. We need to seriously up the tempo 2nd half, either of ki, commons or derry pele mite find a bit more space to open them up. On red card if sammy was same height he would’ve caught elbow flush on the nose. Intent=red! Mon the Hoops

  20. The No.13 Shorts on

    That’s the most subdued I ever recall hearing the away support.

     

     

    So quiet that you could hear a pin drop, or, with a stretch of the imagination, a conversation between two Tims.

     

     

    Tim 1: What are your feelings towards Big Brother?

     

    Tim 2: I hate him.

     

    Tim 1: You must love him. It is not enough to obey him. You must love him.

     

     

    WinstonSmithCSC.

     

     

    Anti-Irish legislation. Coming to a Scottish pub, car, or home near you soon.

  21. A definite red card no question. O’Reillys leniency beforehand towards the typical sphell attack dogs leads to them thinking they can get away with absolutely anything they like.

     

     

    Burst them Celtic

  22. The ref was feet away and saw what he saw from a different angle. It was enough for him to make an instant and unequivocal decision (not something he’s famous for)
