    whats wrong with expecting to win every game , if we play to just our basic standard performance level we should , if we don’t we will lose or draw , tonight certain players under performed and so we dropped 2 points.

     

    wrong team selection.

  2. bournesouprecipe on

    Despite admitting he made too many changes in the defeat at Rugby Park Brendan Rodgers made his predicted ‘raft’ of changes @ Paul67 . He quickly dimissed this, in his presser, and we’ll never truly know whether there were too many, or just too many tired players, in a Celtic side that snatched a draw, from the jaws of victory.

     

     

    It doesn’t have to be Celtic for the chronic Kevin Clancy to make his

     

    ‘raft ‘ of mistakes even although he did the same in Livingston, a few weeks ago maybe he’s the SFA’s new unseen Fenian hand?

     

     

    He blew for a foul that nobody else saw when Filip Benkovic scored ‘the second’ and then blew for a penalty mainly to even these things out, only trouble was Leigh Griffiths followed Scott Sinclair into the how not to close a game out guide book.

     

     

    Second half sub Scott Sinclair was truly awful and despite BR’s singling out Jonny Hayes for praise, he did a good impersonation of a squad filler who not once in the entire game took on the full back before he was hooked late in the game , hardly having been noticed in the first half. Scott Brown was misfiring in midfield Callum MacGregor was poor by his standards, and the CQN posters in the live updates, showed they’d seen Motherwell half chances and stolen points, since long before Black Sunday in deepest Lanarkshire.

     

     

    Another raft of changes for KIlmarnock at Celtic Park which now turns into a full house, inside seven days of clinching the seventh trophy in a row, all won by Celtic.

     

     

    M.O.M Christie * for his goal *

     

     

    p.s. The SPL doesn’t have a single referee worthy of the name.

    TLT

     

    He may well be, but he looks to have cemented his place in front of the back four, we will see what happens at the weekend, it should give us an insight into what the manager sees as the way forward.

     

    I would like to see Calmac back in the Broonie role, he has been nothing short of sensational.

  5. Cambhoy on

    Brendan in his BT interview alluded to the fact that there were too many individuals doing what they wanted and not what the team were meant to and instructed to. Seemed well pissed off, I think it was aimed at LG, dont know who else

    Of course tonight was very dissapointing.But come on guys.We have had a blast of great football for 6 weeks.First half was okay and I understand the changes because there are so many games to be played this month..My genuine concern is up front.French Eddie is still a project and Griff looks lost…Tranfer window should see us bringing one or two strikers if we are going to be serious about keeping Brendan at the club….I also think its getting pretty hard to watch Scott Sinclair.Is he really earning 25k a week for what he now is as a footballer.I doubt we will get a buyer for him until his contract runs out….what happened to him.

    How many times did you see the ball getting played back or played across the park when broony was out the team asking for a friend like HH

  10. Turkeybhoy on

    The changes tonight were required.We have a horrendous schedule of gamesbcoming up.Players need game time.Of the changes,why should Broony,Ollie,Griff not get a run out.Hayes played well,needed the game time.Too much over reaction about this game.We threw it away ourselves,and the Ref robbed us of a goal.Penalties should be put away.We have a habit of missing them when 1 up.Their goal was a foul on Gamboa,and a poor attempt by Gordon to save.Onwards to Saturday.Killie no worldbeaters.Rested players back in.

    A few short weeks ago Ryan was nowhere to be seen, many on here wouldn’t have dreamt that he could have done what he has managed to accomplish in a short space of time, but he has and a mistake and folks are on his back, that’s just no right is it, I wasn’t having a go at you, many far worse than you slagging the players on here mi amigo.

    You should know what it’s like on here after any disappointing result….

     

     

    Doom and gloom and weeping and wailing

     

    Get rid of him and sack the board and we’ve handed them the league and its a disgrace blah blah

     

     

    Calm doon lads. Its football…up down turn around pick a bail of cotton.

  15. Turkeybhoy on

    Watching the Hun on SSN there.Morelos shown a second yellow for a deliberate elbow on Shinnie.Now the Ref saw this so it should have been a straight red,not a second yellow.Do we play under different rules at Ibrox.Goldson kicked the sole of Cosgroves boot.Never a sending off.

  16. fairhill bhoy on

    TET-agree absolutely about Christie,he’s been superb,and his goal was very good,but in my opinion he had the chance to clear the ball or try and be fancy?(He’s no rogic yet)?

     

    Didn’t think you were having a go at me,but your one man on here who I would listen to ?

     

    Bedtime ?

  19. lazydynamite on

    I also thought watching the normally excellent BT Sport coverage tonight that the anaylist Steven Craigan lost the plot post match with his blinkered nonsense about the chalked off ‘good ‘ Celtic goal….Remember all the tears and greeting over the Celtic Motherwell decisions this time last year by the same pundit?…Thankfully Chris Sutton was on hand to rip the piss out of him tonight…..Also the complete lack of ‘As it stands’ tables throughout the night was kind of confusing after I thought this new feature had been added to the coverage after the monumental scenes at Tyncastle last Sunday……cant think what might have happened early doors at Ibrox tonight for the live league table to become irrelevant again….

  21. overseasbhoy on

    bit disappointing tonight – should have killed that game in the first half. Griffiths was terrible all night and Eddy not much better when he came on . His slack pass almost set up a goal for Sammon before the equalizer.

     

    Shows our lack of depth in squad compared to 2 years ago. Hayes is no wee Paddy – sorry. Sinclair is a shadow of his former shadow,

     

    Gamboa’s performance may breathe new life into Lustig. He is just a wee bit wee – always seems to misjudge bounces and caught under the ball. Anyway – onto Saturday and Killie – its about time Brendan got the better of Steve Clarke.

  23. david17 on

    3 away wins from 8 attempts in the League tells it’s own story. Simply not good enough. Motherwell were absolutely abysmal from start to finish, along with Hamilton the worst teams we have faced this year. They were abject.

     

     

    I got that sinking feeling early on when Brown dropped in between the centre halves to pass the ball sideways and backwards.The past two months have been an education but unfortunately this evening was all too predictable. Leigh Griffiths was in the same category as Motherwell, abject. Nothing stuck, no threat in behind, lazy and sleeping, not reading the game and the penalty attempt was pitiful. He cost his team two points tonight. Like i said the other day if you want to tie scarfs to posts then fair enough, but do the business on the park when it matters or reign yourself in. Sinclair put in one of the most gutless performances i have seen, if your rank rotten then fair enough but not to put it on the line is never acceptable. Pass marks KT, Benkovic, McGregor and Christie, who was very very tired by the end and should have been replaced by the Manager as it was glaringly obvious after 70 mins. Overall, a bad night all round for most of the players and the Manager.

     

     

    Big game on Saturday now as Brendan hasn’t beaten Steve Clarke in 4 attempts. My fear at this point is that we are morphing back into the early season form. More dropped points will follow in the coming weeks, it’s just a matter of when and hoping that the rest of the teams at the top of the League aren’t good enough to take advantage.

  25. fan-a-tic on

    I am a fan of Brown but now feel we have a dilemma in how to use his talent best.

     

    That runs the risk of upsetting team balance or a change of tactics.

     

    Tonight we reverted to methodical plodding possession with little forward momentum.

     

    When Brown plays others seem to leave more responsibility with him.

     

    Also only one deep lying mid has to much space to cover.A good example of this tonight was when Ed’s pass went past our centre mid Salmon had 25 yards of open space to run and take a dangerous shot.

     

    When Brown is the deep lying mid others assume he has it covered and don’t drop deep to support.

     

    We would be better suited to a 4-2-3-1 formation if Brown stays in the midfield.

     

    I think a run at right back would be worth a try.

  29. lazydynamite on

    Kind of funny how up and coming good guy and Ibrox legend Steven Gerrard assesment that his team are a ‘class above’ Aberdeen has not quite been backed up in the two defeats in Glasgow they have suffered to the Dons since the opening day of the season draw when he uttered those wise words post match……Although to be fair his comments the other day about how he ‘would not change a thing about Morelos discipline’ might run his Aberdeen comments close in the brainless quote of the season contest….lol

  30. mickbhoy1888 on

    Simples…playing the ball forward a bit more often should win games against inferior opposition .

  31. vale bhoy on

    FRANNYB67

     

     

    Sorry, dog duties.

     

     

    I know what you’re saying.

     

     

    It’s a real problem.

     

     

    When he was out it was forward, fast flowing stuff. No reverse gear.

     

     

    On Sunday I thought he settled everything down and saw out the game.

     

     

    But, it is a dilemma.

     

     

    We seem to drop far too far back when Broonie’s playing.

     

     

    Although I have to say I wouldn’t lame him for that performance.

     

     

    ???????

  32. An Dun on

    Griff was shocking. A man who’s sat out the last 6 weeks while his team excelled. Given a chance tonight he looked as if he wanted to be somewhere else. Tonight may have been enough to convince BR he needs a striker in come January – we can’t rely on Griffiths.

     

     

    Elsewhere, Sinclair has surely used his 9 lives at this stage ? Ntcham did well down the right in the first half and is undoubtedly ahead of Brown in the midfield shakeup.

     

     

    Broony has his role to play but not in our strongest starting 11.

     

     

    Gamboa joins Sinclair in the list of write offs.

     

     

    A right back, striker, left winger and central defender once Boyata goes are required for the next stage of our development.

     

     

    Ajer could do a job for us should be lose Boyata but you’d be wanting another defender in very quick after Benkovic returns to Leicester.

  35. thomthethim for Oscar OK on

    Two points dropped tonight that shouldn’t have been dropped.

     

     

    Ironic that it was by bringing on two rested players, who may have normally have been considered starters, that upset the rhythm of the team.

     

    For some reason, Calum and Ryan fell out of the game and there ended any cohesion we had.

     

     

    However, that’s football.

     

    WE go again on Saturday and one sure non starter in the team will be, Complacency.

    SANDMAN DEFINITIVE RANTINGS: CELTIC v LANARKSHIRE HUNS

     

     

     

     

    “Christmas cracker quiz: When is a perfectly good goal not a goal? When I’m the worthless chump with the whistle an’ it’s the Tims, of course.”

     

     

    K.Clancy.

     

     

     

     

    “Hey, I used to like that ‘Murder Well’ team in Scatland, because that’s what I spent my Presidency doing to innocents all over the globe.

     

    But, gee, I sure won’t be fcking doing that anymore…”

     

     

    G.Bush.

     

     

     

     

    “Welcome to the Celtic charity drive: tonight we launch the Celtic GSH – Give Shite Hope – Xmas Appeal”

     

     

    The Celtic team.

     

     

     

     

     

    GORDON 6.5/10

     

     

    Wore the grey and got beat like the South – and culpable for the ennui which gripped the foundations of our play; felt he needed to take more command of the makeshift defence in front of him – BULLY them more and get their heads right.

     

     

    Was he at fault for the equaliser? My first instinct was yes – thought he had all the angles covered and knew the boy could only score if he arrowed it along the path that he actually did. So the big mhan should have gambled on that eventuality and been down in enough time to get fingers on it – any slightest touch would have averted the goal. But he didn’t.

     

    And it zipped past him. Great strike, but a keeper of his experience could have dealt with it.

     

     

     

     

    KT – 9/10

     

     

    MOTM. Incredible energy and comittment. Given Sunday’s exertions, his performance was exemplary.

     

    Was always looking to damage them too, with some excellent runs, but failure of his team-mates to play him in cost us.

     

     

     

     

    BENKOVIC – 7/10

     

     

    Scored a beauty- anywhere else in the world. Strolled it. . . Stupidly. Got caught napping in those final moments, indecisive – think he didn’t expect any pressure. Could have cleaned out a couple of times prior to the goal but was ineffective.

     

    Need your centre backs blowing everything away in front of them when holding a 1-0.

     

     

     

     

    JOZO – 7/10

     

     

    See above. Comfortably at error like his ‘wee brother’; Looked to have things under control but faltering concentration at the last let them in. Like Gordon, we needed him commanding all in front of him.

     

     

     

     

    GAMBOA – 6/10

     

     

    Mad Costa Rican hitman rampages, blisters and bemuses with his inconsistency. Great turn of pace, makes passes like a pished lothario in Sticky Vickies.

     

     

     

    BROON – 7/10

     

     

    Return of the Boss went to script until that teeth-grinding throwaway. Looked in control, but did he let others off too lightly?

     

    1-0 up with minutes to go requires nasty Broon, hustling last efforts out of his players’ tired legs. Can be argued he let the tempo slacken too much.

     

     

     

    CALMAC – 7/10

     

     

    Back in his familiar position was pushing buttons to no avail. Kept up a continuous buzz but didn’t find the killer passes we required.

     

    Maybe lethargy carried over from the weekend; not as effective as we needed.

     

     

     

    CHRISTIE – 8/10

     

     

    Brilliant energy, great goal – adds that surprise element to our attack as he bursts out of midfield; better than Armstrong in that he also has steel for midfield combat. Another who lacked the right service at the right time.

     

     

     

    HAYES – 5/10

     

     

    NAW. Naw, Johnny – that’s not how you go about getting a place in the Hoops first eleven. Had about three touches in the first half, floated around looking like a concerned WW1 Tommy in the middle of no-man’s land. Improved second half but only succeeded in replicating the worst of Aiden McGeady-stylee check-backs and deflating attacking momentum.

     

    Brendan praised him in after-match interview but that was man-management.

     

    Virtual Reality glesses aff, BR : Sandman Bittersweet Actual Reality googles on – he was pish.

     

     

     

    SAM JACKSON – 4/10

     

     

    Ain’t no muthafuckin’ winger, that DAMN fuh sure. Got the muthafuckin’ muthafuck out of that Fir Park shithole like a boss soon as half time whistle went.

     

     

     

    GRIFFITHS – 4/10

     

     

    Finally revealing the reason for his prolonged absence – new tattoos. And they were too heavy. Golden penalty moment to end the game as a contest and blew it; mainly due to the aforementioned work of art – ‘Burd wi’ big tits’ – adorning his favoured left leg causing drag.

     

     

    SUBS

     

     

     

    EDDY – 4/10

     

     

    Snuffed out, too leggy, too bloody cold by the looks of him. Still, was thrown on when service had dried up. Attempted to liven proceedings – and our defence – by playing in Connor Salmon for what we thought would be their last chance.

     

     

     

    SINCY – 3/10

     

     

    All that ability and no confidence; was hoping he’d respond to the mating calls from the home Huns by ramming it right up them but he flattered, then deceived only himself. How do we get the real Slim Snicy back? It’ll have to be acid…

     

     

     

    ROGIC – 6/10

     

     

    Oz looked likely but was – like Eddy – joining a team who’d given up momentum, so correct movement around him was sparse.

     

     

     

     

    BR – 6/10

     

     

    Made 7 changes he would live or die by. So close to getting a great result without too much fuss, let down badly by players who didn’t take the chances he’d given them to seize a jersey. BUT… his calls were ultimately costly.

     

     

     

     

    OVERALL – 7/10

     

     

    Going to Fir Park is like descending stairs into a flooded cellar in Derry, Maine, and finding the reanimated corpse of a dead kid speaking in a Killer Clown’s voice – so best thing to do is get what you came for and get out quick.

     

    We had the opportunity, despite the sleekit fanny in black trying his utmost. We fumbled, and the cosmic evil celebrated us sacrificing precious points.

     

     

    Was looking fine, but I couldn’t have been the only one with that nagging feeling when we failed to add a second…

     

    Saving grace was the imperialist army of darkness getting a fleecing by the Sheep. But we need to KILL OFF teams like Murderwell and stop this Give Shite Hope charity drive before it becomes a nasty habit.

    For macjay1 @ 9:22 am –

     

    Everyone else can scroll by if they wish. I am just giving the courtesy of a reply

     

     

    “SFTB

     

     

     

    Now, who , exactly is saying it has been proven?”

     

     

     

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

     

     

     

    David Attenborough.

     

     

     

    The Pope.

     

     

     

    Barry O`Bama

     

     

     

     

     

    Where have you been ?

     

     

     

    I just read a few articles on what was said by these people. I googled each of their names with the tags “Climate change” and “proven” attached. Google did not throw up any examples of any of them claiming it had been proven.

     

     

    So, to paraphrase your last line-

     

     

    What have you been reading and where?

     

     

    Do you still not get the difference between proven and disproven?

     

     

    I feel I have been wasting my time if you cannot grasp that point.

     

     

     

    As evidence from the articles I read:-

     

     

    Attenborough said

     

    “climate change is humanity’s greatest threat in thousands of years.”

     

    it could lead to the collapse of civilisations and the extinction of “much of the natural world”.

     

    “If we don’t take action, the collapse of our civilisations and the extinction of much of the natural world is on the horizon.”

     

    “The world’s people have spoken. Their message is clear. Time is running out. They want you, the decision-makers, to act now,”

     

    the world is “nowhere near where it needs to be” on the transition to a low-carbon economy.

     

     

    Pope Francis said

     

     

    ““Global warming continues, 2015 was the warmest year on record, and 2016 will likely be warmer still. This is leading to ever more severe droughts, floods, fires and extreme weather events.


     

    “Climate change is also contributing to the heart-rending refugee crisis. The world’s poor, though least responsible for climate change, are most vulnerable and already suffering its impact. ”

     

    “….work for the common good while taking steps to resolve the “ecological debt” between the global north and south.

     

    Repaying it would require treating the environments of poorer nations with care and providing the financial resources and technical assistance needed to help them deal with climate change and promote sustainable development,”

     

     

    Barrack Obama said

     

    “I do not believe that any part of the world has to be condemned to perpetual poverty and hunger. And I do not believe that this planet is condemned to ever-rising temperatures. I believe these are problems that were caused by man, and they can be solved by man.”

     

     

    “During the course of my presidency, I made climate change a top priority, because I believe that, for all the challenges that we face, this is the one that will define the contours of this century more dramatically perhaps than the others.”

    Griff wisnae braw.

     

    But what service did he get?

     

    Tonight i think we paid for our tactics.

     

    It was not conducive to scoring goals.

     

    Sinclair is baffling as a guy with his talent should be dominating opponents.

     

    He seems to want no responsibility and is all to quick to return ball backwards.

     

    Is he following instruction so retains his place?

    Why would we want to call these referees out?

     

    They would probably go on strike and we would have to bring in European ones to cover the fixtures for the rest of the season…..Wait a minute!
