  1. Collins should just punch that wee hun of a commentator for that opening comment and other snide remarks.

  2. Gene’s a bhoy – I can hardly remember the cb’s being mentioned, they were that good, fingers crossed for the future

  3. I’m not gonna accept this “Rubbish Milan team” nonsense

     

    Milan are one of the greatest teams in Europe (they have super Mario FFS)

     

    Tonight, we outplayed them on their own patch

     

    We were unlucky to lose – but so were (honestly) Moscow against us last year

     

    Great performance from the bhoys – Broonie could grace any team

  4. bazzabhoy: “We need to practice crossing, final ball from the wide areas were really poor.”

     

     

    I have often questioned why we insist on trying to get the ball wide and swing in crosses all the time. How many goals have we actually scored from heading in crosses?

     

     

    We do actually have players who can run at defenders with the ball at their feet, and go past them… Stokes, Sammi, Commons, Forrest, Boerrigter, Ledley, Matthews, Lustig and even Mulgrew & Ambrose have all done it for us before. So why don’t we play more through the middle to feet? If nothing else we would probably get a few free-kicks, and with Mulgrew, Stokes and Commons all capable of hitting some tremendous set-pieces, surely we’d get a goal here and there.

     

     

    Still a great performance from our Bhoys tonight. Heroes every one of them. Nine points at home, three in Amsterdam and a draw at the Nou Camp and we’re through!

  5. Cutting edge

     

    Needed

     

    Played well

     

    Sorry but we need to win these games

     

    Neil you done your sell proud

     

    Hold your head high

    I LOVE CELTIC

  6. Nae you are not gamriestu, you just post like one. Were you insulting Sammi this time last year in Moscow.

  7. Crossing was dire, even with space to do so. That’s only real criticism on the night.

     

     

    Really think we can hump Ajax abs can get something at home v Milan. Barca would be a bonus of course and I’m going to Parkhead more in hope than expectation.

     

     

    Of course we can dwell on our bad luck in this and so many away games in CL. But, look, we’ve had good luck at home in some games all right (Man U, Barca Uefa Cup), so with a few more slices of good fortune we might be level.

     

     

    Players can take great confidence from the game- AM, Efe, SB and ML all looked very good.

     

     

    Onwards and upwards.

    I don’t understand how that result could be a blessing in disguise in any way , shape or form

    We don’t know the future, perhaps Celtic have inspired AC to challenge Barca for Top Spot.

     

     

    I think Celtic can Win the CL and I have bet on them doing it, perhaps you weren’t aware of this. :))

     

     

    There are a lot of transitional, Top, teams around Europe at the moment and now, is as good a Time as any for Celtic to recreate Lisbon. :D

     

     

    Bring them All ON.

  9. Desperately unlucky…

     

     

    We all have experienced it….

     

     

    You are having a productive day with all going well…. Then you hit the bar and it ends up with what might have been.

  10. Beaten by a wicked deflection and then no luck at a free kick.

     

    Balotti for all his talent is a cheat, a diver and an actor.

     

    He’s wasn’t the only one at it: DeJong.

     

    Why do refs swallow it?

     

    50 years I’ve been watching cheats rolling about.

     

    We got beat on the night, but at least we can hold our heads up.

     

    Unlucky Celtic, our time will come.

  11. What an engine Matthews has, that run he had was amazing Just when he had the beatings of their right hand side he was taken off

     

    One thing about commons is his link play. A very smart player I think he done ok tonite. Antony apart from free kick did not contribute as much

     

    Strange substitutions

     

    Ah well, thats CL football. You take ur luck

    Balotelli tries to elbow Broonie then crumbles in a heap. Ref was conned.

     

     

    Spot on, and not the 1st time in the game

     

     

    Hail Hail

  13. Fountainhall Bhoy on

    No way is Brown to blame for the free kick, ref was conned by a cute Balotelli. It was a great show from the Bhoys in Green Hail Hail

  14. Playing with wingers and wing backs is great and they played well tonight however they need a target to hit and we didn’t have one tonight.

     

    Van Dijk reading of the game and interceptions, especially first half, were fantastic.

     

    For all the Efe moaners, he carried the ball more than their midfield tonight.

     

    Mulgrew & Brown worked their socks off.

     

    Creatively we are still lacking, Milan look very lacking of pace…until the rebound for the second goal.

     

    I know Foster made some punched clearances tonight, can he be coached to put them safe?

  15. Charlie and brownie need to take the blame. They stopped running to close down and Milan got their first goal (all be it lucky) from the position that Chico a nd brownie should have been protecting.

     

     

    Great performance, but we should have done better.

     

     

    HailHail

  16. The Good Ship Celtica with Captain Oscar Knox on

    Well that was a kick in the haemaws.

     

     

    It’s never easy being a Tim, but it’s always a pleasure.

     

     

    Night all.

     

     

    TGSC,

     

    Sailing On….

  17. YNWA playing at stadium now via radio shortbread.Played well,we just didn’t have that wee bit of craft to make a clear cut chance,specially in last 15 mins of first half when we were dominant.They were there for the taking,if we nicked an opening goal i think we would have won it.

  18. Deflection and then the most bizarre decision ever! Ball at corner flag and goes out. If a foul then goal kick and Brown sent off. How can you give a free kick when ball 20 yards away and you followed play?

  19. Over the piece a good performance from us…just a shame the lack of a cutting edge.

     

    Thought Adam Matthews was superb, big Frazer back in form and Broonie was magnificent. He was mugged by Ballotlli and we paid the price.

     

     

    I thought the referee was really very, very good – obviously except for Ballotelli incident.

     

     

    Incidentally, is there a smuggler, more anti-Celtic presenter anywhere than that wee twat Tanner?

  20. Really good performance undone by a bit of bad luck.

     

    Really good to see us dictate play for long periods.

     

    That to me is progress and confirms we belong in this company.

     

    We can still qualify.

     

    In NFL we trust

     

    Hail Hail

  21. They were their for the taking…. we had to take our chances but didn’t but didn’t deserve tpo lose either.

     

     

    We had plenty of the ball but didn’t do enough to hurt them when we had the chance. 9 corners and we didn’t really threaten. Stokesy was desperately unlucky with the free kick, if Sammy shoots from yard closer it’s a goal, and if Kissy commons hits his reverse pass to broony with a bit more pace he is in the box beyond De Jong with a great chance to score but as it was he had to slow to wait for the ball. All if buts and maybes but yet again luck deserts us in Europe…

     

     

    So unlucky not to get a point

  22. no, i’m neil lennon “i’ll never walk alone” (fourstonecoppi )

    Unfair to who Milan or Brown ?

     

    Barca and Ajax will pump Milan home and away

    I have never rated Samar-ass Corkcelt.

     

    Call me whatever you like bud, but apart from the odd (really odd) bit of brilliance, he is NOT a team player and gives up far too easily on many balls which could easily get/win.

     

    I take no offence at your jibe but believe me I always think of “Bambi on ice” when I see him running with the ball.

     

    Just my opinion like.

     

    Hail Hail and hope tae fek we are more willing to attack next game

  24. What a pity tonight. However, that was a very good performance from the bhoys. Rarely have I seen us so composed and comfortable on the ball away from home in Europe.

     

     

    This was against AC Milan in the San Siro and we certainly weren’t outclassed by any manner of means.

     

     

    Well done the team and coaches.

     

     

    P.S. Glad we were reminded that we can watch Sevco’s rise back to the top. Arggh!

  25. SidneyTim

     

     

    He blew a gasket in an earlier run. You can see it happening for any player who has had to make long runs. Lenny saw it and Boerrintger was an obvious replacement.
