After every experimental line-up (such as Friday’s), it’s tempting to ask what the manager learned from the experience.
The partnerships on the left and right wings didn’t look right. Emilio Izaguirre didn’t overlap as often as usual and Stuart Armstrong was less effective than normal. A lack of space impacted the James Forrest-Adam Matthews partnership on the right. Forrest was manhandled until he switched left or got inside the box, when he was able to play unhindered.
Ineffectiveness on the wings led to the same up front. Anthony Stokes doesn’t get to play centre forward too often and didn’t really get much of a chance on Friday. Stokes anonymity was the most glaring aspect of the game but I suspect the responsibility lies elsewhere.

Thanks for the link to Dens Park on the day. I was quite impressed just how much it meant to the Dundee players and supporters, schadenfreude Tayside style!
That game was New Year’s Day 85, here’s a report from Celticwiki..

Henke, although the your day will come banner is a topper, my favourite banner of all time is simply the banner with the arrow pointing to the left that stated SCOTLANDS SHAME .
100% agree
Scotlands Shame… Huns Dont Have A Clue

Mind that day well, I was in tropics just under the heilan mans umbrella, I didn’t make the game as I got tied up in a drink fest, the first I knew of the result was when a bloke came in with the evening times…what a party we had…took me two days to sober up :)) HH
Roy Croppie…love your olde photos, brings back some great memories.HH

cathach,
I was telling your brother that you were posting on CQN. He’s going to look out for you on his new fancy phone.
Remember a few seasons ago ., the Craig whyte banner that went from 101 right along the north stand to the Celtic end then I think it came back to the other end and into the main stand . Passed down to the directors box ( but they shit out ) and back again
Can’t remember who we were playing . Mibbees hibs
Lennybhoy, Clogherceltic
Will do. Hope you had a good Easter. I see Neil was back in Dunoon. I tried before and got password wrong, but it worked today.
Clogherceltic. We used to play against Clogherceltic in LSL. Guy who ran it was called Brendan and worked in BOI in College Green.

Can’t help it CorkCelt I’ve already told him about my Dublin Granny.
Having said that I’m going to Killarney for a festival at end of June and hope to be in Cork for at least one night, never got there last time as the good lady was so enamoured with Kinsale.
I can only imagine the reaction when the news filtered through that Dundee had scored. I imagine it was on the old transistor radio.
TBJ, about 30 seconds into this video, Wee Craigy White makes an appearance at Celtic Park.

Keeping The Faith, Cork is a grand wee spot, I know it sounds contradictory but if you are strolling about make sure you wander through “The English Market”.
Will do CC sounds right up our street… They have pubs there right ?!
Doc
Still puts a massive smile on my face
I remember saying to my neebor at the match ” who woulda thunk it that we would be passing a banner with the rfc chairman on around Celtic park and singing his name ”
My only regret … It wasn’t sir moonbeams
cathach
Had a great Easter my friend, trust you did.
Let me know when your next over and will meet up, drop me an e-mail.
Keep the Faith!
Hail Hail!
Lennybhoy.
Doing well.
Back on the old mcewans export after my Lenten duties.
Roy’s photos are tremendous.in company tonight we discussed the best 3 days
Of supporting the bhoys
1.St Johnstone ( stopping the 10 ) never forget the Brig that night.
2.4.2 ten men won the league.
86 game.
Let the people sing…..
clogher celt…
How’s the roll of honour getting on, bar the odd lurking hun, I reckon it will be some turnout.
CorkCelt on 3:33 in this video the news come through on the old wireless .. The rest is worth watching too

Ah well Easter Sunday has come and is nearly gone
A great family day was had and turn on the news to see Papa Francis on the news
God bless

KTF, Plenty of Pubs Ok. Main Celtic Pub is The Friars Walk Tavern but that is a bit out of the way for a City Centre visit. The English Market is just off The Grand Parade, its a fish market but there are plenty of other bits and pieces there as well. Its quite historic and well worth a quick peep. There is a pub in there as well.

Back in 2000 spent a week travelling County Cork, Ring of Kerry, Dingle Bay, Killarney. Stayed on a Hill Farm in Ballyvourney, 8 Km from Macroom, beautiful part of the Country.
Keep the Faith!
Hail Hail!
TBJ, we could do that yet, ultimately it was his arrogance that led them done the road to ruin.
Hi Cathach,
Is the LSL the Leinster Soccer League… Sorry for my lack of knowledge. Have you been into College Green? Well worth a trip.

Some Mhan, still doing the Lenten abstinence, respect.
Aye the Brig when we stopped 10 was a sight to behold.
Keep the Faith!
Hail Hail!

The sticky buns did not have a clue why we were roaring with laughter in the Jock Stein stand. Magical moment of simple genius.
Sipsini,
Might have to give up the day job. Pathetic response has been huge…scared sometimes to go the inbox.
Just want to make sure that it is a good weekend.
Clogher
Sorry , should have been huge response, trying to get used to a new laptop
Keeping the Faith 22.11 So good I watched it twice. Only downside Judas but just magic all the same.
Having no read back I now rename this blog RCQN for the rest of Easter Sunday as an homage to unique one in our midst.
Roy Croppie Quintessential Nostalgia!
