    He has a full time gig with the media.

     

     

    I don’t think it is a coincidence that only proddy Celtic players and Catholic hun players are allowed a full time job.

     

     

    Nevin and Nicholas would sell their grannys

    given that we were playing a team that wanted to kick us off the park and a ref that only saw minor fouls, I think it’s a great result. Hail Hail

    Can I just say ,well done Gary Hooper ,your goal did Richmond out of his MOTM award in his local tonight .

     

    hail hail

  4. This is all that needs to be said about today:

    Absolutely disgraceful performance from both Motherwell and the referee. Motherwell took young Forest out the game and the referee allowed it to happen. Is it any wonder Scotland can’t produce decent footballers, shame on McCall and shame on the ref. Well done Celtic and well done Neil for the match winning substitutions.”

  5. Forrest and Commons were assaulted every time they tried to run with the ball. It was a clear game plan and not the first time that McCall has tried this against us.

     

     

    Any neutral watching Richmond’s performance this afternoon could not fail to conclude that he was biased. Even Burley questioned many of his decisions. Lasley alone committed four bookable offences, going to ground and making contact with the player.

  6. Sandman – spot on with your Craigan comment. I have also played there and there is a lot of this stuff goes on but that was a worse assault that the one that got the M’Well player sent off.

  7. Thompson just telling us bolo Zenden is training with the squad,

     

     

    BBC have him already just coming for another pay day, could cause trouble in the squad, look at Freddie Ljungberg came and done nothing!

     

     

    Murdo – ex celtic!? Jock Brown was right in his book

  8. saltires en sevilla on

    any truth in the rumour SFA are hoping to be awarded the European franchise for the new Worldwide Rollerball League WRL?

     

     

    Doubt we will ever see a more orchestrated attempt to kick a football team off the park.

     

     

    Complete lack of protection for our players by match officials ..if you have not seen this game please do not attempt to criticise our players and management team until you have!

     

     

    compare and contrast today’s game and the game(s) v Rennes

     

     

    one game(s) was fitba

     

     

    the other was WRL

     

     

    Go for them now Celts you will never have more evidence to hand

  9. There are many contenders for the ref’s worst decision today but the one where he awarded Motherwell a bye-kick instead of a Celtic corner after it it was clearly put out by the Well defender, with the MIB only yards away, was a shocker.

  10. Whatever part of my club is dependent on Rangers I am willing to lose – formerly known as Malone19 says:

     

     

    I remember plenty of occasions during O’Neill’s glory period when we ran down time in tight SPL matches. It’s sensible play.

  11. South Of Tunis on

    A win .——-3 points . By no means a great performance.

     

     

    Seriously partial officiating . Motherwell spent 90 + minutes playing that strange Scottish game called —-Kick The Man. . Scottish football has no future if Officialdom thinks that such brutish thuggery is tolerable. Knowledge / enforcement of the rules of the game would have seen Motherwell reduced to 8 men . —– Corruption / intent is hard to prove but such ignorance and incompetence has to be exposed to a world wide audience. Disgusting ..

     

     

    Sunny -warm day —— way down south.

  12. Well done Celtic!

     

    We beat more than a disgracefull Murderwell team today!

     

    That’s the way ahead for us, Ki is a luxury we can’t afford.

     

     

    Hail Hail!!

    Super win today, sloppy start, silly not sending two out to mark the short corner, Sammy’s smart header to Stokes, Steelmen hacking and snapping, shameful refereeing, should have shown more cards, some silky skills from Paddy, Stokes to Hooper scores! Silly Clancy sent off for an early shower, scrappy game scoreline stupendous.

  14. derbyshirebhoy on

    Before the match I posted

     

     

    Three thoughts today

     

     

    Will we have enough stamina after the magnificent effort put in on Thursday?

     

     

    Will Motherwell be allowed normal kicking license by Charlie Richmond?

     

     

    Only a win will do so however we get it – Win.

     

     

    Well great credit once more to the players who despite being fouled regularly without any punishment being meted out by Mr Richmond stood up and were counted. Wins breed confidence and let’s hope the last two stand us in good stead at Inverness where we can expect much more of the same. Well done Bhoys.

  15. Paddy “Pat” McCourt shows the value of running more slowly but keeping control of the ball.

     

     

    Will never catch on….in their faces every time

  16. Sexy talk from Jabba et al how the Huns are well rid the menace of midweek Euro

     

    Money games and associated glamour.

     

    Better for Sally to spend his hun down time phoning in favours and cajoling his players

     

    to accept the long-term benefits of the needle it’s rejuvinatiory and sped back results on

     

    Pitches long arbitrated by the grateful dread and their SFA masters.

    How many times have we witnessed teams setting out to hack our midfield players when we break with the ball .Make no mistake this is a game tactic but only one you can employ with the assistance of the MIB ,I believe this is why Celtic do not use it .

     

    ENOUGH SAID

     

    hail hail

  18. Charlie Richmond returns to the fold…

     

    Engineering/Fabricating

     

    An Essential element of the SPL ‘product’ so it is.

     

     

    But it labels The Product a ludicrous empty show.

     

    It makes a mockery of supporters/fans/consumers alike.

     

     

    Still…

     

    Needs must when the Devils Drives…

     

     

    Well Done Celtic!!

  19. fergus slayed the blues on

    Let’s not forget Richmond waved play on when the m/well player went right through Kayal and the ball broke to the m/well striker leaving him one on one with the keeper ,only to be foiled by the linesman flag for and offside .

     

    hail hail

  20. Great result. Some serious questions need to be asked of the SFA as to why refs allow players to be kicked all over the park for 30 minutes without a yellow card being shown. Even the most bias of commentators on ESPN and Radio short bread made comment on the refs lack of action and in some instances baffling decisions.

     

     

    Paddy Mc did more in 5 minutes than KC did in the 70+ he was on the park. That is apart from a corner that lead to Stokeys equaliser. Is KC not match fir or are we witnessing the lack of consistency that he was renowned for in the English championship? He is a shadow of the player we saw last season.

     

     

    Good team effort, more grit than skill but we deserved the win. The defence needs to be sorted, the inability to defend set pieces, long balls over the top combined with other basic defending errors are hurting us. Experienced top notch defenders required in January, not someone from the Championship or backwaters of European football. I do not care if they are 36 as long as they can do the basics correctly and mentor our younger players.

     

     

    Special praise for our much maligned Greek – Sammi. He was kicked and literally punched most of the game but continued to be a constant problem to Murderwell. Again well done Sammi.

  21. fergus slayed the blues on

    Rumour has it that Richmond is either

     

    1. a cheat

     

    2.incompetent

     

    IMO today he was both

  22. Play like that rest of season we will be well in there at the end.

     

     

    Kayal back to his best.

     

     

    hearts releasing another crazy statement from Romanov. Basically, he wants to sell as no longer interested in football. HH

  23. camlachiebhoy67 I am Neil Lennon on

    Thanks for the updates ghuys tremendous experience to follow the game exclusively on CQN.

     

    I somehow have a gut feeling that the ‘tic’ where being kicked aff the park and cheated!

     

     

    Interesting comments about the refs performance…

     

    or should that be lack of performance.

     

    That makes my day that the bhoys done their job, stuck to lennys game plan kept the head and the points are in the bag…

     

    If we give these refs enough rope they will hang themselves!!!

     

    It was a pressure game for all concerned appoint a ref thats no, or little SPL experience this season.

     

    These decisions and the people that make them are killing the game.

     

    A cup final approach from mccalls gang by the sound of it… i am sure we all knew that would be the case

     

    .

     

    The team took a big step in the right direction today.

     

    The Celtic family will be THE CELTIC FAMILY ALWAYS.
