    Much better team performance tonight. Could pick holes in individual decision making but better to focus on the many positives.

     

     

    Both full backs were excellent, Calmac back in business and Moi reminded us of his quality. Eddy looked much brighter in his cameo role.

     

     

    Fitness from 70 minutes was a concern but I thought triple substitution settled us down & we were rarely troubled in last 10.

     

     

    We will need to use squad fully again on Sunday

     

     

    Well down to both Management team and players for the turnaround in performance over last 4 games.

    TURKEYBHOY-regarding madie,I was being a smart arse.I honestly like reading you’re comments on here. I agree with most of them even the team selection tonight 😉🤷‍♀️

    McInnes will go for extra time on Sun…. If he watched that tonight it will have frightened him a bit….. What you won’t read in the SMSM….. Rangers beat lech poznan who are a lowly 10th in the Polish league…. And a struggle at that……. Maybe super Micheal Beale didn’t make it?!!

    BIG WAVY,

     

     

     

     

    Who are you talking about there.

     

     

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

     

     

    it is me stincky higgins.

  20. corkcelt on

    Saint Stivs, Didn’t see the post about Terence McSwiney,

     

    Tried scrolling back to no avail, could you tell me who & when,

     

    If you prefer not to, that is OK too.

  21. celtic40me on

    We’ve played 18 games already to their 10, and they played a striating 11 that hadn’t played all of them, so a difference in fitness is no surprise but, saying that, we finished as strong as them. I’m not sure Laxalt and Frimpong being in their box in the last 5 minutes is the best way of closing out an away game run Europe but what do I know

     

     

    You can also understand Lenny holding off as long as he could on making his substitutions when his options were soro and welsh. no disrespect if you’re looking in lads but you’ve got about 5 games experience between you.

  23. setting free the bears for Res. 12 & Oscar Knox on

    Feeling better about all things Celtic tonight. As with the AC Milan game, we gave them a few things to think about and showed signs of attacking organisation.

     

     

    After the generally 3 or 4 out of 10 performances that we have had at the start of the league campaign, I don’t have as much appetite as some for scapegoat sniffing after a match.

     

     

    Anybody who wants to state that Ntcham should have been subbed earlier has a strong argument for saying so.

     

     

    Anybody who says that Scott Brown needed subbed earlier has a harder argument to make because he was still making telling defensive contributions and covering Frimpong’s erse right up to the 80th minute, allowing the wee right back some much needed recovery time in his bombing up the park.

     

     

    Anybody who says that Duffy was one of our more average performers has a case too. He was outshone by many team mates but, he was also much better than he has been and that is the start of a resurrection programme for him.

     

     

    He has not played well but we cannot afford to do without him.

     

     

    With Ajer injured and two Covid recoverers needing playing time, a French CB with undiagnosable back problems, plus a 20 year old, we have to value Duffy as being injury free. We don’t have to talk up his capabilities to recognise his value. He will come good for us and will win us a few games before this season is much older. Then, someone else can replace him n the scapegoat de jour category. We know what we were getting with Shane – a tough brave CB wiling to put his body on the line for Celtic. He will not do what Ajer does for the team but then Ajer does not do all that Duffy can.

     

     

    Just like the prognostications that our intense and irretrevable rut was going to lose us 10iar and only the return of Duffy to Brighton and the sacking of NFL would be considered as appropriate responses to those prognostications, we have neither turned a corner nor stayed in the rut tonight.

     

     

    We HAVE played well in a tough away tie in Europe. Our dinosaur manager HAS managed to fluke together a team organisation, shape and tactics, despite not believing in the existence of any of the 3 things he fluked.

     

     

    But we are no further forward (or behind) in our league race after tonight.

     

     

    We are still not in a great position in our Europa League and only the unlikely combination of home and away wins vs Sparta will put us there.

     

     

    And we are no further forward in our quest for last year’s SC. Arguably we are worse off if Ajer is now missing and those tired regulars have to go again on the side open spaces of Hampden on Sunday.

     

     

    But we did recover some form.

     

     

    And we did get a good result.

     

     

    So there’s plenty of justification for having a wee smile and enjoying the thrill of the ride this season.

  24. corkcelt on

    OK Ghuys, It’s a good night from me, will catch up in the morning.

     

    When Melbourne Mick gets the Hump with this place then its time to sit up and take notice,

  25. setting free the bears for Res. 12 & Oscar Knox on

    Anyway my team for Sunday

     

     

    Bain

     

     

    Frimpong Bitton Duffy Laxalt

     

     

    Brown McGregor

     

     

    Christie Turnbull Elyounoussi

     

     

    Griffiths

     

     

    Bring on Soro, Rogic and Edouard or Ajeti.

     

     

    Hope the defence stays injury free and that Welsh, Taylor and a returning Elhamed will not need to be used for too long.

     

     

    After the game – withdraw everyone from their respective International squads.

    Made a comment in the previous blog around could not give a fig whether it was mcswinneys ghost or whatever.

     

     

    I read it. Had a sharp intake if breath.

     

     

    Time for whoever he is to be banned.

  27. celtic40me on

    4 home wins out of 12 in the Europa League tonight.

     

     

    tomorrow I will report back with some incredibly perceptive insight into what that means. or maybe not

  29. BillyBhoy1967 on

    St Stivs

     

     

    We were 2-0 up in the 60th minute. At that point you are looking for your manager to make tactical changes to see it out. Lenny failed abysmally and it was 2-2 by 75 mins. Have a look at our bench options tonight

     

     

    You are clearly happy with that – I’m not!

     

     

    And I was in the stadium in Seville in 2003 so naw – Jose -no way!

     

     

    But we need a coach.

    Neil lost one of our centre halves just before the 60th minute. Stop talking garbage.

  31. quadrophenian on

    Deflated yet delighted – that was ours for the taking but defensive klutziness was our undoing.

     

    I said we shoulda had our tails up, and yep our bhoys did brilliant by springing a 2-goal lead.

     

    Agree w many, it was clear our mid was being outgunned; Oli and Broony were running on fumes from 65.

     

    Still; how good to see Soro and Rogic getting some good game time (coulda been 15mins earlier IMO).

     

    Our vital signs look much improved: Bainy gets to keep the jersey for me on Sun. HH

    67 EUROPEAN CUP WINNERS on 29TH OCTOBER 2020 9:38 PM

     

    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 enjoyed it too and I’m pleased. Celtic took to the park tonight. They played well and got a good result.

  33. BadgerHc on

    I think Ncham is a great player, too many times he “runs oot a steam” walking up the tunnel,just dosnt turn up. wouldn’t get a gurnsney in my team ipso facto – nae heart.

    Take Big Wavy’s advice. Mr. Angry from Istanbul has nothing civil to say. He’s a heckler. Contributes very little that’s informed or constructive. Instead of talking about Celtic he talks about posters and always on a negative way. He’ll be back on tomorrow doing his thing. You know how it goes.

  36. mea culpa on

    Don’t post much on here now, maybe due to my current state of health or even a desire to debate at all.

     

    Shame that really as i used to be up for it on here, politics, team performance even the odd disagreement.

     

    Tonight was a better effort. excellent goals, RC knows he was culpable for their first and the second had a

     

    few culprits. Lest l forget the MIB was indeed a graduate from the Dallas Euro academy.

     

    3 or 4 of our players were running on empty circa 70 minutes, yet we did not make the required changes.

     

    Keep safe and well my friends in CQN

    Good morning cqn from a dark, cold but happy Garngad

     

     

    Happy as we showed last night that the auld fitbaw is still there, must improve at the back but I felt with better choices in final third we could have scored 1 or 2 more. Then again so could they, so close the back door bhoys. Looking forward to Sunday even more now.

     

     

    MM – nae flouncing come on fella, it’s your job to keep us all sane from afar.

     

    You are our number 1 international Handsome Hun finder.

     

     

    I was wondering Mick has your football team started back???

     

     

    Big Jimmy – how is wee Rocky oh and you, how are you big mhan?

     

     

    TOS – I would withdraw every international player as well but I fear the cabal that is the SFA would throw the book at us.

     

    Get a legal eagle on it and find a loophole.

     

     

    Thank crunchie its Friday.

     

     

    D :)

  38. David66 on

    By the way I though Ajeti, Laxalt, Moi and wee Frimpors had great games.

     

     

    Ajeti – does a thankless task holding up the ball and holding defenders off it’s a hard shift.

     

     

    Laxalt – well where do you start another solid shift with a wee bit of football thrown in with the “thou shalt not pass” attitude.

     

     

    Moi – I thought worked a lot harder tonight than of late.

     

     

    Frimpors – He actually took people on more tonight than of late and worked back consistently

     

     

    For me I think Ntcham should get a rest for a few games he was a passenger after 60 mins and everything broke down at him.

     

     

    Bring on the sheep

    That first post is very worthy of the podium.

     

     

     

     

     

     

    Tonight? Even though Neil has ignored the CQN experts, I fancy a draw.

     

     

     

    SAYS IT ALL FOR ME.

  41. Jobo Baldie on

    Good morning friend and a Big Happy Friday from a dry and fairly bright East Kilbride.

     

    As my thoughts drift towards Sunday’s semi final there are 2 wee niggling questions that I hope some clever clogs on here can answer – given that this will be the season 2019-20 cup semi final (a) can both teams play players that weren’t actually on the books last season (yes, surely?) and (b) what’s the rule on substitutes, i.e. how many on the bench and how many can be brought on.

     

    And, yes, I AM looking for reassurance that the SFA aren’t going to announce that Barkas, Duffy, Laxalt and Ajer are ineligible! ;-)

  42. Big Jimmy on

    Ive had a wee read back, and several Posters have already echoed my thoughts on the game, so I dont have too much too add.

     

     

    For me…Diego Laxalt was EXCELLENT and My MOTM.

     

    Apart from the obvious change with Ajer being injured, i would imagine Nir Bitton will start on Sunday. I also think that Neil will freshen up the starting eleven for Sunday IF he also believes that a couple of our Bhoys were running on empty for the last 20 minutes or so last night ?

     

     

    Like last Saturday, I would start with Big Tam Rogic this Sunday and maybe The Griff up front ? those Two can really terrorise the Dons defence.

     

    Lastly, against Lille last night…we did really well for 60 minutes or so at closing them down high up the Pitch. We were up against a fairly decent team, who threw everything at us in the last 20/25 minutes or so, and its very difficult to maintain the energy and drive that we showed in the 1st half….although I agree that maybe we should have used our subs bench sooner ?

     

    Lilles 2nd goal was just lucky etc, but they were coming more and more into the game, so draw was probably a fair result ?

     

     

    IMHO…., Ajeti seems to let his head go down, when decisions go against him, and for those few moments he loses any concentration/focus on the game. maybe that is something our Coachers and/or his fellow strikers can work on with him ? Ajeti did very well at our 1st goal, as did Moi for his Two goals.

     

     

    I really hope that we play with TWO Strikers on Sunday and with Big Tommy Bhoy on from the start.

     

    I had Two Correct score bets on last night…2-1 and 3-2 to Celtic…likewise I had Celtic to win 3-2 v The Dons last Saturday…but my Bets aint important, as its all about Celtic winning by any score !

     

     

     

    Lets try and put the game beyond Aberdeen as early as possible on Sunday, and then we can also use our Subs to give some of the regular Bhoys a wee rest ?

     

    Lastly…Why oh why….. didnt you SHOOT Moi LOL ?

     

    Overall, Im a happy Bhoy this morning as that was much better Celts !
