  1. The problem with Izzi is that no longer goes past defenders on the OUTSIDE like he used to do. Byline and cross.Thats no longer in his locker and makes us too narrow up front. Sad but true. He is not worth much to us in a transfer fee any more .

     

    All over – FT.

     

    That said, well done Bhoys on a great CL journey; heads held high at this level; against all the odds!

  2. Stringer Bell on

    Didn’t think I would be this gutted. I was expecting it.

     

     

    Really really gubbed by this result.

  3. Actually feel a lump in my throat that that is it all over. Live and learn Bhoys. Cold one called for.

     

     

     

    Slainte

  4. We started off the campaign HOPING to get into the group stages.

     

    When we saw the draw we HOPED to get to the Europa stages.

     

    When we qualified for the last 16 we HOPED for an easy draw like Manure or Arsenal.

     

    No cause for complaint or blame.

     

    We have exceeded expectations.

     

    Well done Neil Lennon, Mjallby, Parker and McGrain.

     

    Well done to the team.

     

    and I think once more we showed we have TGFITW

  5. Tell you what, were not that far away.

     

     

    Wee bit more clinical and cut out the silly mistakes and we are not actually that bad a team at this level.

  6. Everyone gave what they had. No critcism of anyone, well perhaps Izzy’s crossing.

     

     

    Delighted with Kayal’s form and stamina.

  7. thetimrieper on

    Well done to Neil and the Bhoys for what they acheived this

     

    season in Europe, proud of every one of them. Dont forget

     

    this is just the first chapter of Neil`s Odyssey plenty more

     

    to come.

     

     

    Proud to be a tim

  8. Just heard the roof at Asbestox has ‘issues’……….

     

     

    …don’t know what that means.

     

     

    HH.

  9. Losing out to a very decent (and expensive) Juve team in the last sixteen is no disgrace.

     

    Looking forward to next year’s campaign already.

     

    Proud to be a Tim.

  10. So, we lose.

     

     

    Re: THE TIE

     

     

    Unlucky not to get a goal over the two legs, as we played some very nice football.

     

     

    But what a lesson in cynicism and clinical finishing from Juve. THAT is how to win a potentially tricky tie.

     

     

    Overall, this season’s efforts in Europe have far exceeded anything I thought we could achieve. Some of our players really do look like they belong on this big stage. Wanyama, Forster, Matthews, Ledley, Samaras, and Hooper have all played tremendously well at times. If we do lose any of them, it will be for big money.

     

     

    Now, we just need to concentrate on wrapping up the league, win the Scottish Cup, and prepare for the qualifiers again next season.

     

     

    Re: THE TEAM

     

     

    Some stars in there. But some big decisions for Neil coming up. What to do about Izzy? Either teach him how to cross or sell. Lassad and Michu? Look surplus to requirements. If Wanyama goes we need a direct replacement. Next season time for Forrest, Watt, and McGeoch to step up I think.

     

     

    Re: SKY

     

     

    I thought the commentary from Crocker and Provan tonight was disgraceful. Celtic players were criticised at every turn, our winning the league was belittled, and Provan in particular accentuated the negative whenever he could. Its unthinkable that an EPL team would be treated with this contempt and lack of respect.

  11. Well done Celtic from two qualifying rounds to the last 16 that’s some going from our “diddy” league. Some harsh lessons over those two legs but some experience for our young team.

     

     

    Well done the Celtic support in Turin-fabulous.

     

     

    Now for the double.

  12. This isnt the end, its only the Begining….

     

     

    thank you Neil and the bhoys for the best European campaign since Seville

  13. jungle jam67 on

    well done bhoys

     

     

    so so unlucky to get even 1 goal over the 2 legs

     

     

    onto next year and all the bhoys know now the level required for champions league football

     

    get a few new bhoys in and build on what neil has set out as a marker

    I agree, things never look obvious, when things look bad, it is then when great things spring to life.

     

     

    We will only win the CL when we have most of the team brought through our own System, which is fantastic.

  15. Well said corkcelt

     

     

    The best team won and showed superiority in the 2nd half but our spirit saw us create good chances for Efe and Sammi to add to our first half chances.

     

     

    The aggregate score is poor but there was not really a 5 goal gap in class between those 2 teams.

     

     

    We can improve. if we learn to attack earlier before they re-organise. Our build up can be too slow and cross field but I do not want to dwell on the negatives on a night where our team reached the end of their Euro road for this season and took us a lot further than we should have expected.

  16. 67Heaven ... I am Neil Lennon..!!.. Ibrox belongs to the creditors on

    Any negatonians should be ashamed f themselves tonight…….and they will be displaying a high level of immature crud ……I am proud of Glasgow Celtic tonight…… I don’t think Juve will win the CL, but they are a class outfit……

  17. Stringer Bell on

    We didn’t play well, but created 3 or 4 gilt edged chances (whatever the f**k a gilt edged chance is) and couldn’t take them.

     

     

    Guess they were just better than us.

     

     

    I remember after 0-0 with meelan at cp bemoaning the fact they were lucky,getting the break of the ball, just edging 50/50’s etc.

     

     

    The penny dropped half way though the rant. Luck had nothing to do with it. They were just better.

     

     

    Proud of the fans tonight. The sky cameras showed the Juve fans standing applauding and taking hunners of photies.

  18. Hugh Bonkle fae Dallas on

    If you told me at the start of the season we’d get to this stage and lose out 5 nil on aggregate to Juventus , I’d still have bitten your hand off.

     

    The difference between the two teams is that Juventus made fewer mistakes than us. Virtually every mistake cost us a goal.

  19. Any year we are playing Campions League Football in March is a great year. As Sammi just said Great Journey.

  20. A level too far for our young team but hopefully valuable lessons learned for next years campaign. Perhaps a couple of astute signings of experienced players will help our young guns.

     

    So proud of the support – well done Bhoys and Ghirls you showed again why you are the best in the world.

    Juventus gifted Celtic with possession, defended brilliantly and

     

    scored five goals

     

    ===================================================

     

     

    Exactly correct. From the draw I reckon Juve thought if they played tight Celtic would struggle to create many chances AND were likely to make one or two mistakes.

     

     

    It wasn’t rocket science. Barcas ethos wouldn’t allow them to do that.

     

     

    In actual fact I’m pleased that over the two legs created 4 really good chances despite Juve’s plan. Obviously the mistakes buried us along with the clinical Juve finishing.

     

     

    Some of our players grew up and some have been found to be somewhat short of this level.

    Spot on, I like your posts as you question everything like myself. Provan was my hero when I was a young bhoy, and give him his due he was a great player but to listen to the likes of him and Burley, Murdo et al makes my teeth curl

  23. Mullet and Co on

    Pleased by the performances of Kayal and Joe Ledley tonight. Over the two legs we did not show the same clinical finishing we had in our locker in the group stage.

  24. So proud of our team as ever

     

     

    Ireland and liverpool legend Ronnie Whelan said it best on Irish tv commentary he said ‘over 2 legs Celtic have played well nobody could honestly say it looked like a 5 nil aggregate over the 2 legs and Celtic certainly did NOT disgrace themselves’

     

     

    I found myself telling the tv again that “yes Ronnie you are right Celtic DO NOT disgrace themselves, they do us proud”

     

     

    As the magnificent as ever, Celtic fans, sang for the whole of the 2nd half “here we go to 2 in a row”

     

     

    lets get the league wrapped up and put all in to qualify again for next seasons champions league

     

    Hail Hail

  25. NatKnow - "We welcome the paper-chase..." on

    No complaints from me – it’s been a great campaign and as far as I’m concerned we have punched well above our weight. Another experience to learn from. Proud of Celtic once again.

     

     

    Well done to Neil, the team and the fans!

     

     

    Hail hail!!

  26. Dexter,

     

     

    You must be the only Celtic supporter who is thinking of changing our manager. For what he has had to endure, he should be assured of the job for as long as he wants, good bad or indifferent. You are doing the MSM’s job for them and he is their worst nightmare.

     

     

    Thank you, Neil Lennon, every single player who has donned the jersey this season and the amazing away support.

     

     

    WE SHALL NOT BE MOVED.

  27. Proud of them all for having got us this far. To get to the last 16 was beyond our wildest dreams especially when we went 1-0 down to Helsinki at home in late July.

     

     

    Its written in the stars for us to return to Lisbon in 2014!

  28. We’ve come so far since Sion it’s unbelievable. Great season. Let’s get the heads down and think about qualifying for next season.

     

     

    Thanks Neil and the Bhoys. Well done to the lads out in Turin. Great support.
