    Glad that’s over , too many of our players looked that they did’t want to get involved today SS and OE to name but a few , we are not happy playing on that surface when the opposition are solely a bunch battering rams and long throw experts , not a good advert for a football match.

  2. Auldheid on

    I think Livingston will take points off every visitor to Almondvale.

     

     

    They play to their strengths on a surface they know well.

     

     

    The kind of game where Broonie might have made a difference but happy with a point.

     

     

    Officiating approach also favoured Livingston (says I in an understatement.)

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

    A draw was deserved by both teams.

     

     

    Whatever affected us- pitch, opposition players’ robustness and effort, personnel changes, or Leipzig hangover, we did not play with any fluency or control.

     

     

    We will take the point away to a team that is good at defence.

     

     

    I did not expect to be top of the league by this International break (I thought it would be done by Christmas though) so …..

     

     

    we take our point

     

    we take up position at the top of the league

     

    we take our chances that our players get through the International Break

     

    and we get back to business on another horrible plastic pitch on the 24th at Hamilton.

     

     

    Hope everyone that I met at the hoot yesterday are recovered and in good health.

  4. notthebus on

    Has there ever been a bigger contrast in 2 consecutive games that Eduoard?

     

     

    Looked like he had wondered off the terraces onto the pitch today

  8. BhoyfromSky on

    For me …. that was a point gained ….on these dumps of Cooncil pitches any thing gained without serious injury is a plus…. the stoopit sky pundits “ wonder” why there are so many hamstring injuries ………….only proves just how THICK they are ….Christie continues to impress me…thought it should have been Sinclair taken off ….his sitter…..agh…that’s Scotty…..

  9. glendalystonsils on

    That was a hard watch. Horrible game on a horrible pitch. Nullified by a team of journeymen cluggers and our own shortcomings. Morgan on for Forrest instead of Sinclair ? We played into their hands by taking too many touches , allowing them to get a foot or a block in. Eduoard hardly featured ,not helped by poor control on that pitch.

     

    It will not affect our march to title no. 8 , but thank god that 95 minutes is out of the way.

     

    Hope big Kris is ok…..looked like it could have been a broken cheekbone.

  10. larssonse7en on

    Well defended Livi… Kept the free scoring champions at bay. Hangover from Thursday I can accept. Hail Hail

     

     

    We love you Celtic we do

     

    We love you Celtic we do

     

    We love you Celtic we do….

     

    Oh Celtic we love you…

     

     

    Hail Hail ☘️??

  11. fan-a-tic on

    Did our bench fail to spot that Calum’s corners were a waste of time?

     

    I thought when Morgan came on they would have given him some to take.

     

    It’s not easy when refs tolerate players hacking and pulling from behind but surely we should have had the players face forward to make it more difficult for our opponents to do so?

     

    McGregor seemed afraid to play those great diagonal passes on that absurd surface.

     

    I don’t know why coaches fail to spot high balls are easy for that Livi defense.

     

    Hard inswinging lower crosses would have caused their defense more problems.

     

    It was a day for tactical adjustment after first twenty minutes but unfortunately we didn’t do so.

  13. ron67 on

    our normal passing game just doesn’t work on that horrible surface , the ball does not run true and sticks under your feet when running with it, we had player’s hiding today not wanting to get involved incase they got clobbered from the sevco c/b to be halkett and his sidekicks , you would think with all our quality we could have an alternative game plan when playing on these horrible surfaces , but hey-ho top of the league again

  14. CaltonTongues on

    FAN-A-TIC on 11TH NOVEMBER 2018 2:10 PM,

     

     

    Calum was Man Marked today, their no.33 followed him everywhere, totally ignoring everything else happening on the pitch – expect more of the same.

  15. corkcelt on

    Livi have now conceded just 4 goals in last 12 League games. That is a truly remarkable statistic.

     

     

    We created quite a few chances should have done better with a few plus their Keeper made some great saves.

     

    Always felt it was going to be a struggle to score there, winced when I read one poster here predicting 6 nil to the Celts pre match.

     

    Anyhow I just hope we don’t have to play on that pitch again this season.

  16. KINGLUBO on

    Not read back but my impression is as follows – — The pitch is a disgrace, you could see just how tentative our players were for fear of injury. It is a scandal that the SFA allow some teams to have these bloody pitches, and others , grass. It mUST give a competitive advantage to the home side, as sure as there’s shit in a nanny goat. Does anyone know of another European league such as this??

     

    Then the officiating, an absolute joke, again only in Scotland.

     

    Then that clown Dolly, had two red card offences, missed by the officials. .

     

    I do not give an ounce of blame to the players, who really never had a chance.

     

    A full blown Scottish scandal, seriously hacked off little me.

    PS Still, we are top of the league, ya beauty

  18. big packy 1 on

    horrible game on a horrible pitch, brought us down to their level, that halkett is one dirty bassa but not the only one, thought he should have kept wee jamsie on and took Sinclair off. but we are top of the league whats not to like.hh.

  19. McPhail Bhoy on

    Poor game but after the last few weeks l don’t want to be too critical one false move on that ‘pitch and it a season/career ending injury; Brendan is correct there is no place for them in top tier football, get rid.

     

    Now on to the yawn fest that is international football.

     

    Hail,hail!

  20. Timbhoy2 on

    One Striker for a club the size of Celtic not good enough,need to bring in another one in January,also Sinclair should have been replaced,with Morgan ,and kept Jamesy on,but top off the league,after being told there was a split in the dressing room.

  22. Dilligafbhoy on

    I’ve often wondered if a rule change to 0 points for a 0-0 and a point each only for a score draw would stop teams playing like that. Livingston clearly delighted with a point. Football without the goals is nothing.

     

     

    Oh and Walker, deary me, praised every touch Livi player made. Sad.

  23. fan-a-tic on

    CALTONTONGUES

     

    I know he was man marked and wasn’t criticizing him but when he had the opportunity to play his usual killer ball he seemed to be hesitant.

     

    He was playing on that surface and i trust his judgement not to.

     

    Every attempt at a through ball by us today went straight to keeper.

  24. bournesouprecipe on

    Thanks to CQN’s excellent Bada Bing.

     

     

    Well earned point for Celts, against the new SPL hammer throwers.

     

     

    Jacobs ,Halkett, Lawson and Co, will render Livingston to new pararell’s of mediocrity as they kick and trap the ankles of all the SPL. First seen, lately when they sandbagged Partick Thistle in the ‘play offs’ Livingston are firmly on the road to football nowhere, with Seethen Gerrard’s scalp in the bag.

     

     

    Booted upside down in the first ten minutes, Brendan’s side took the rest of the game to get to grips with the SFA’s Token Tim and erstwhile weakest link Kevin Clancy who witnessed yellow upon red, till half time but couldn’t locate a card, any card.

     

     

    The second half procession on plastic petered out, after a brilliant week for Celtic another point safely negotiated, and with Eddy’s ankles intact, we’ll enjoy the break with another clean sheet, and resurfacing on top.

     

     

    James Forrest suffered the same bone breaking attempts but was rescued by Lewis Morgan and Kris Ajer’s plastic experience stood him in good stead till he was withdrawn, for another battle in plastic Hamilton. Keiran Tierney was just awesome, and Dedryk Boyata firmly manacled Menga somehow still on the park despite a blatant headbutt on the attentive Ryan Christie.

     

     

    Tom Rogic and Celtic twinkled till time up, but couldn’t find another moment of magic the Livi keeper touched the best effort just over the bar, to keep a point for the desperately cheesy Tony Macaroni outfit.

     

     

    M.O.M Dedryk Boyata

  25. CaltonTongues on

    FAN-A-TIC on 11TH NOVEMBER 2018 2:24 PM,

     

     

    I knew you weren’t, Livi looked comfortable with the surface, as they should.

     

     

    Maybe some of the ‘New Sky Money’ will pay for new hybrid pitches like ours.

     

     

    On our new pitch, can’t believe we’re allowing the egg chasers to play a game on it.

  29. corkcelt on

    No Problem, Lubo didn’t know it was you but we have had a good run, we will kick on after the break.

     

    Don’t normally agree with Timbhoy but on this one I do, please Celtic can we have an extra Striker for the New Year.

  31. bankiebhoy1 on

    Love Life, Love Celtic, and show Plastic Hardmen the red card.

     

     

     

    Viva Fitba’

  32. Jimmynotpaul on

    Positive. We are top of the league.

     

    Negatives. Plastic pitches, Scottish refs who interpret the laws differently from the rest of the world.

     

    Fans who don’t appear to appreciate how difficult it is to play to a high standard without proper recovery time and how young and experienced some of our players are.

     

    Let’s not be glib, whether we like it or not, there was a following out between Brendan and some players and it was nothing to do with Moussa.

     

    There was possibly a falling out too,between Brendan and Peter too but I’m not certain about that.

     

    However everything appears to have been smoothed over and onwards and upwards we go.

     

    Hopefully Broonie, Oli and Griff return to bolster us after the international break.

     

    Hail Hail

  35. connaire12 on

    Most of the points that I wanted to make have been covered by others. I would just like to know will the compliance officer look at the head butting incident ? Surely it merited a red card. Clancy appeared to see something, but did not judge it a serious attack on Christie. Strange that because even the Sky people thought it was, soup takers included.

  37. Ray Winstone's Big Disembodied Heid on

    Clugs on the rug. That’s what passes for football in present day Scotland.

  38. embramike on

    League season so far tells a story …

     

    Home – Played 6 Won 6 Drawn 0 Lost 0 F 15 A 3 Pts 18

     

    Away – Played 6 Won 2 Drawn 2 Lost 2 F 12 A 3 Pts 8

  40. 16 roads. on

    Persistent fouling.

     

     

    Almost impossible to play against teams like Livi when the referee allows it to go unpunished.

     

     

    Yes 18 free kicks awarded, but the play is constantly stopped and only 2 bookings.

     

     

    The draw wasn’t the worst result in those circumstances.

     

     

    We are top of the league.

     

     

    Natural Order Restored CSC.

     

     

    HH. ?

  41. sid on

    A lot of comforting about being top of the league, we dropped 2 points in the most important competition.

     

    Leipzig feel good factor gone and now have to stew on this for 2 weeks.

     

    Lewis Morgan is miles off it and failed again, loan out and bring in better quality that’s ready.
