Johnny Hayes of Inverness – worth a January transfer gamble? Agile, competitive, good engine – would fit into our midfield.
Don’t know much about him, save his name popping up frequently in highlights this season, certainly played with confidence and authority against us. Good on the ball. Fearless. Up against it but still scrapping away; somethign we’ve sorely lacked this past 2 seasons.
Fair do’s Its your opinion but the only thing that matters in football is putting the ball in the net. Everything else is a poor second despite what any of the fandans may say.
Well done GS for making it clear that the 2nd goal was onside.
The sending off never changed the game, the game changed when we brought on a midfielder and took off a winger….. simple innit.

What a fantastic first goal today. The one touch passes left Inverness totally bemused. Won’t see a better goal all season – except for the league clincher.

Following on from the refereeing performances at Easter Road and Fir Park home players were again allowed to foul Celtic players at will. However due to an error of judgement by this official it will be an issue overlooked. Can’t feel sorry for Inverness when the basic laws of the game are constantly being ignored.

Kojo – I agree that Gary has struggled so far this season but he and Stokes need to work for us – we don’t have any other option up front. I know they can do it and with 3 wins on the trot under our belt (during which Stokes and Hooper between them have scored all our 7 goals), the signs are positive.
Todays problems were all in midfield. Sammi is dreadful in there and I don’t understand why our manager and coaching staff think otherwise. The 3 guys who came on made a big difference. All 3 move the ball at pace which is what the game was crying out for. I don’t think the 10 men made a huge difference today. ICT set out their stall defensively and had no ambition.

Just out from behind the couch.
Very flat performance until Ki came on.
Too many look lacking in confidence, not wanting to take responsibility.
ICT were what you would expect.
All energy and little talent.
Buddy ball at times – JF / AM were targets.
The grass would have had herbivores everywhere salivating.
Consequently good last 30 minutes.
AS is a hard one – all the talent but a stinking attitude until the spark arrives.
Then he is a one man army and total team player.
In the mood – compare and contrast with a 23yr old HL.
My only questions relates with his desire to learn, develop and mature.
we Gordon playing a blinder on ESPN Butcher says it was a poke in the eye.Gordon says to presenter if i poked you in the eye would it not be sore, Brilliant also Butcher says second goal offside,television shows Stokes deffinately onside,sorry Terry wrong again,wonder if hes annoyed Super Ally will not giving him a case of wine this time

It’s easy for Ki to look good when ten men are sitting back hoping to hold out for a draw….don’t be fooled.
I’d sell him in January and use the money to buy a CB and a big, fast striker.
IMHO

I will take that result all season long. Sending off helped but what was the Inverness player actually trying to do with his hands? Needless challenge. Referee was always going for the red card, and Craig Burley’s initial reaction was that he was off. Nice day out up in Inverness it has to be said.

Stokes isn’t the most gifted of forwards but a striker that gives you 20 goals plus a season. IMO worth his weight in gold.
Kojo I saw Joe and Dixie and they missed plenty too as did Kenny Harry Hood Wallace Chalmers Jinky et al.
Now the Buzzbomb he was a different kettle of fish

Can anyone tell me what the displayed messages were in the Celtic end pre-match? Could only see them from behind the opposite goal on Setanta and couldn’t make them out.
Thanks.

No wine, just whine and plenty of sour grapes.

Anthony Stokes, this season 19 games in all competitions, 11 goals, 8 assists, last season 35 games, 19 goals, 16 assists. A goal every game comes from Stokesy, either scoring or setting up.

3 points. What we wanted. Job done, move on.

Kojo,

Were there any heavy handed police tactics?
Any “illicit” chants?
Brilliant.. Butcher choking as he realised Stokesy ONSIDE… Brilliant tv
WGS well said -tell it like it is
Pundit watch
C Burly -obviously biased as ever against Celtic .
Strachan -breath of fresh air with fair and insightful .
Hately – muted by his normal standards probably due to Strachans presence.
Billy Dodds- on shortbread at halftime -“O’Reilly should be demoted!” .
Richard Gordon – the ref should reverse the red and let the ICT player back on for the second-half!
WGS brilliant goal onside, if i poked you in the eye would it be sore PMSL
Fair play WGS not letting them away with anything thing and fighting our cause. Big Hately cowed into agreeing.
Well done wee man.
WGS,
is quality,
if I poke you in the eye will it hurt ??
Gordon Strachan – Celtic Legend.
Defending us to the hilt.
“If I poked you in the eye right now would it be sore”?
Brilliant wee man. Brilliant.
SwanseaBhoy
Gord; legend!
WGS terrific!
W.G.S……. Talking pure football.
Big joe,lovingtheWin
WGS his usual fine self in telling it how it is.
Didn’t like his football, but total respect for the man.
Let’s all do the Huddle!
ESPN show ICT goals from May in end credits… ?? Beyond a joke..
Finally we have a an ex Celt pundit who doesn’t fall into the trap and tells it like it is. Well done Gordon Strachan.

Radio Hunland at the BBC
The ole guard endorsing Terry Butcher no surprise

Of course, Stokes Scored TWO..

He also MISSED TWO scoring opportunities..
Ah don’t believe that You and I have the same Standard when it
Comes to Judging .. a Striker.’
Ah wan a Striker who Does Not Miss Easy Scoring Ops..

I want a Striker.. Joe McBride..or Dixie Deans..
Those Type of Guys is who Ah want.
Ah HATE STRIKERS who Canny Be DEPENDED OAN..
Again..
This Is Ma opinon.

Stokes 1st Goal 2-0 = 570! Thank you Paddy Power :-)

What’s not dependable about that?
Lads,
Ignore the Scottish radio shows.
These very same pundits had very little to say when the huns were gifted 2 penalties @ ICT when they were struggling.
