  1. A particular positive is that French Eddie seems to have recovered from the heart ailment that was of so much concern to his doctors- as exclusively revealed on here by someone with connections.

  2. 67 European Cup Winners on

    That was more like it. Yeh we lost 2 silly goals and yes Moi should have hit it But we looked awake. Big improvement. I enjoyed watching us And that’s not happened very often this season

    I confused myself by saying it was their 2nd. It was their 1st goal.

     

    The goal was from a corner & Celtic had him covering the far post.

     

    He ball watched & let his man run behind him unmarked.

     

    He was in the vicinity for the 2nd but I can’t lay blame on him.

  4. The thing is we did this last week second half against Milan.Then reverted back against Aberdeen

  5. A belter.

     

    HUN,the last time Celtic won a game,we were allowed in Pubs

     

    TIM,the last time The Huns won a Trophy,Bruce Jenner still had Baws.

  6. Turkeybhoy-to be fair to the madmich.You didn’t hold out much hope for us tonight after seeing the team😉And it’s not for the first time either.maybe the Maddy knows as much about fitba as you 🤷‍♀️😉

  7. rangers win 1-0 but they were on the back foot most of the match – carrying their luck at the moment

    That is a fair point. Today was encouraging but for me, thumping Aberdeen will be a clearer step on the path to recovery.

     

     

    Play like we did tonight and Aberdeen won’t live with us.

  9. Very decent result overall, although slightly disappointed in that we could have won it, imo.

     

    Some really good performances, and I thought Soro especially did a fine job when he came on – hopefully a good sign of things to come. Much improved, and encouraging for Sunday.

  10. Stebhoy – watched a good bit of their game. Celtic would take a battering from all quarters for that type of performance at home against a Polish team. They are indeed riding their luck.

     

     

    We know the devil already has their soul, it seems a reasonable explanation for their luck.

     

     

    Jammy bar stewards.

    well said some people are never happy unless they;re bitching

     

    about brown, duffy,neil and some others,

     

    BRTH Auldhead probably got fed up with the continual negativity

     

    and decided to go elsewhere st stivs told me to keep posting on here

     

    i thought sb &sd had ok games against a very good team well aided

     

    by a rotten ref come on you COYPP (positive posters)

  12. Looking forward to Sunday now.

     

     

    A final against Hibs on the cards. Trophy in the bag for Christmas. That would be a fitting way to get us out of the ‘crisis’.

  13. GERRY123 on 29TH OCTOBER 2020 10:02 PM

     

     

    aye keep posting, the negatories are like some sort of depressed eejits,

     

     

    We won 11 trophies in a row

     

     

    ochone ochone angus og, but what about that defender,

     

     

    keep going Gerry

  14. Good performance and result. Nothing else really matters, some pretty pointless comments targeting certain players. Neil will be very pleased. A momentum builder.

  15. Our general in play was much better but we still look a bit nervous at the back i for one thought we would win the game at half time it’s a poor show not to in my opinion.

     

     

    However as I said on Sunday we are going thru a blip we will roar back . We must keep the/our faith .

     

     

    Now a small point I don’t care about the rotten mob

     

    But made a point of watching the forces of darkness game a few things struck me

     

     

    They don’t seem as panicked as they did last year when they are not playing well .

     

     

    The second thing is and it may ruffle a few feathers.

     

     

    I wish people would stop telling us how lucky they are or rotten they are they are going to give us a run for our money they are better than last year.

     

     

    I hope they falter when they drop a point or lose as game then we will see there metal . They are playing with confidence even when they don’t seem to be great. Good teams get the job done. We have been doing what they are doing for years.

     

     

    To underestimate them would be a mistake.

  16. BILLYBHOY1967 on 29TH OCTOBER 2020 9:05 PM

     

    I’ve got to say that with better coaching , and tactical substitutions, we would have won that

     

     

    ————–##

     

     

    absolutely,

     

     

    bring in Jose.

     

     

    whose team lost tonight

  17. Gotta to take the positives. Lenny more involved. Good result against a good French team. Not quite out of it Europa League wise, though without crowds not the same thing. AC Milan look like winning the group, we have got to play six games regardless so still in with some kind of a chance, so why not? More players now involved, pity about big big Kris, but he could recover quicker than others. See positives from big Shane, Nir and El Hamed on the cusp, young Welsh getting more game time et al. Time to start winning games again, starting Sunday, do that and we are on the verge of a quadruple treble, if that is not an incentive short term I do no know what is. Allons Y!

  18. Good evening all .

     

    Jamesgang / TBB , thanks for the link on page 1 .

     

     

    Not read back since before kick off.

     

    Good result and good performance.

     

    One significant change tonight was that our full backs weren’t rampaging forwards at every opportunity. This combined with Broony playing deeper,and closer to the central defenders, made us far more solid and less open to counter attacks .

     

    A welcome change in tactics.

     

    Big Duffy had a very shaky first half, and slightly better second half. I honestly thought he would show up better, but tonight’s wee change in the set up I mentioned, might just help him to regain some confidence and composure.

     

    A few top performances, with Cal Mac, Elyanousse & Laxalt being my best 3 .

     

     

    I’m sure we will kick on after tonight , and the return to fitness of others will also help.

     

    Fair play to our manager, he answered a few critics tonight including myself.

     

    Onwards to Sunday.

     

    KTF , even when it difficult ☘️

  19. so we have to change our attacking system to suit a loanee premier league centre back so strengthen our defensive formation.

  20. Definitely not a depressed ejit.shocking comment

     

    Maybe stick to the archive photos

     

    Bedtime for this ejit 😴

    —————–

     

     

    remember that night in the celtic club bud ?

  22. FAIRHILL BHOY,

     

    Nobody held out much hope.Does not mean to say after you have watched the game,you come on and spout absolute gash.

  23. Neil Lennon & McCartney on

    NEIL Lennon reflected on a bittersweet night in France, as his Celtic produced an impressive performance against Lille, establishing a 2-0 first-half lead before the home side hit back with two second-half goals to ensure a share of the spoils on matchday two of the UEFA Europa League group stages.

     

     

    The Celtic manager was pleased with his side’s attacking intent, and that they got their first point on the board in Group H, but having established the two-goal lead, and continued to create chances on the counter-attack after the break, he was disappointed not to be heading home with all three points.

     

     

    Speaking after the game, Neil Lennon said: “I thought we were outstanding in the first half, and I thought if we’d taken care in the final third on the counter-attack in the second half, we could have put the game to bed.

     

     

    “We scored two beautiful goals. We looked a threat all half, and also looked a threat on the counter in the second half. I’m happy but it’s tinged with disappointment as well, but it should give us a lift and a positivity going into the rest of the group, and we’re getting players back. You can see some of them are not fully fit, with the effects of COVID and injuries, but we’re going to get stronger as we go along and we’ll need the bodies as well.”

     

     

    Moi Elyounoussi was Celtic’s goal hero on the night, scoring two superb goals in the first-half, and he had a couple of opportunities in the second half that could have led to his hat-trick. At the other end of the park, Scott Bain produced a string of excellent saves, including one from a Jonathan David spot-kick.

     

     

    “We had a horrendous decision given against us for the penalty, which was outside the box,” said Neil Lennon, “For me, you don’t need VAR for that. It was clearly outside the box, and we felt really aggrieved with that decision. But Scott made an excellent save and also had a couple of great saves in the first half, and he can be delighted with his contribution.

     

     

    “Our first goal was a brilliant goal. Ajeti did well to win the ball high, and then Moi goes on and curls in a beauty. For the second goal, Frimpong’s picked out Moi with a lovely pass. So, two really well-worked goals and it gave us a foothold in the game.

     

     

    “I just wish Moi had pulled the trigger on a couple of occasions in the second half and he might have got his hat-trick ton. He showed his class tonight and I thought he was sublime at times.

     

     

    “I thought we were superb in the first half and we should have won the game. Overall, it’s a good result away from home in Europe against a very good side, but it’s tinged with a massive disappointment that we haven’t won the game. It’s a tough group but we’re relishing it and we can take a lot of positives from tonight.”

  24. For a team thats top of the French league,we did’nt half rip some holes in them.Obviously,no one studied them, no one thought out any tactics to beat them.
