I’m not going to put on a tin hat, you can batter my bare napper if you like, but some of you need to get a grip on reality
In my humble opinion, we actually played some decent football tonght – last 30 mins aside – against a team that cost – I’d guess – what we’ve spent in transfers in the last 15 years.
We cannot compete at this level – end of. Its all about opinions, but I dont think we could afford a couple of centre backs which could avoid that tonight.
I’d rather we tried the Brendan way, and learned from this, than park the bus, keep it to 5, and learn nothing
C-E-L-T-I-C. C-E-L-T-I-C
Some on here need to give their head a serious shake. £300m on two players. Sure there is a lot of things we could and should have done better like retaining the ball and passing to players wearing a hooped shirt but we pay our taxes, have never been liquidated and are incredibly good looking.
God bless the famous Glasgow Celtic…”a football club will be formed for the maintenance of dinner tables for the children and unemployed ”
Hail Hail
Celtic with 3pts have more points than Benfica Dortmund Monaco Feyenoord and Olympiakos. Perspective right there
Just saw the highlights and we lost poor goals, was watching Anderlecht as our game wisnae broadcast over here, why FFS did BM no play like that against us.
Cast your mind back to when we went out of the CL tae Basle on away goals due tae an early doors goal and a Henrik Larsson missed penalty in the first leg did any of us say “oh that’s ok we’ll just fall intae the Europa”, naw we didnae we were all gutted, however, games against Blackburn and Liverpool helped change our mind.
This time we are prepared for the EL and a full hoose against Anderlecht will see us through.
the bhoys are going to have a right go at anderlecht – looking forward to it
TET, Obviously I hate to see Celtic absolutely taken apart as we were tonight & I do feel we need to have more than one way to play a game.
The art of defending is just if not more important as the art of attacking.
I just want to move on from tonight but I am in the camp of those who believe it’s suicidal to go toe to toe against the likes of PSG.
After tonight I want Anderlecht to beat us 4-0.
Hey, if BR can do it why not EVERYFUCKIN ONE.

I have no complaints about being well beaten tonight but some of our slack passes and defensive snoozing was nothing to do with how much Neymar is worth or how many oil wells some Qatari sheik had to flog in order to partner him with Mbappe.
We gave them a few frights going forward which is encouraging but we needed every Celt on the pitch to be on top form which sadly wasn’t the case.
Fourth seeds finishing above third seeds would be definite progress so that’s worth reflecting on, but it shouldn’t mean that we are above criticism.
What defenders has Brendan signed?
BrainfartCSC
For all their undoubted, and very expensively acquired, superiority PSG weren’t averse to playing the long ball when it suited them.
It can be very effective.
Oh, and bye the way.
Couldn’t give a fig about Europe, just want to do dead huns title total but, FFS Brendan REALLY?
Or, can’t we criticise?

Hail hail big Mhan….spot on.
God bless the the Belfast Celts.
Non Football Post,
Can i ask those of you who pray to say an extra one for
my sister in law Josephine,she passed away last Thursday and her funeral takes place tomorrow
Hope KT learned a lesson tonight. PSG are scary brilliant at fitba. We were lucky it was only 7. Cavani and Lewandowski are my two favourite strikers. Mbappe and Neymar are no bad too. 500 million buys you success, if you spend it on they 3. Embarrassed though.
Said to many fans playing against us about parking the bus tactic,’ boring for them and the chances of a result less than 10%. Would rather have a go and get beat, even convincingly
Same for us against top quality euro teams.

‘some of our slack passes and defensive snoozing was nothing to do with how much Neymar is worth or how many oil wells some Qatari sheik had to flog in order to partner him with Mbappe.’

Agreed. Too many unforced errors, just like the first leg.
We set up as if it was Ross County at Celtic Park ffs

I’m not, suicide is trying to defend against these teams, we can’t, not a hope, the only chance we have is to attempt to go for it, tonight we didn’t manage, Brendan said it in his apre match convo, they are the best of the best, trying to shut up shop against them is crazy.
I agree with him
HH
BB,
Precisely FFS.
Match Report up now

In Brendan’s book he talks about how gutted Scotty Sinclair was after the 5-1 game at Ibrox. Scotty believed that he should have scored 2 more goals that day and was angry that he missed what he regarded as very easy chances.
Had he done so we would have won 7-1.
There’s the gap.
Celtic supporters magnificent tonight, magnificent.
That was sore , very sore but he ho we scored first and we know what needs to be done to improve our team..
The bad days make the winning all the sweeter

Qataris will soon run oot of oil?
Then everything will be just fine! :)
Right. Ok. Sorry guys.
That was a masterful display tonight. We were brilliant. Really played well and never put a pass out of place or defended ineptly the whole game.
Well for the first 57 seconds. Ok 8 mins or so.
Don’t ever criticise your team. This is CQN.
Yeez are going to need to have a word with Brendan too.

Watched the match in Mountblow Bar tonight.
Kate and Bernie said you were a perfect gentleman in Bar67. They send their love.
Shangalang ;)
Gordybhoy64: thoughts with you at this difficult time.
We won’t learn how to defend in the Champions League while we are celebrating winning 10 in a row against domestic dross.
But i suppose that 10 in a row will no doubt be the pinnacle of some fholks ambitions for Celtic FC
The last team from outside Spain, England, Italy and Germany to reach the European Cup final was Jose Mourinho’s Porto in 2003-04, so long ago it should probably be considered a different era altogether. What’s interesting about that Porto side, however, was that they were considerably less attack-minded than the Porto sides of previous years. Like any other dominant side in any league, they regularly faced defensive sides and therefore played their league matches on the front foot.
But while Porto triumphed easily in their domestic league in 2003-04, their scoring record of 63 goals in 34 games was Porto’s lowest return for nine seasons. Previous managers had built fearsome, attack-minded units perfect for the task of battering minnows but then encountered problems in Europe, where Porto were the underdogs and required more discipline and patience.
Mourinho’s Porto, on the other hand, were largely based around a solid defence. The outstanding section of Porto’s side was the backline, where Nuno Valente, Jorge Costa, Ricardo Carvalho and Paulo Ferreira formed arguably the most cohesive, organised defensive quartet witnessed in Europe this century. Their ability to play the offside trap was quite magnificent and was so effective that they were capable of either playing on the edge of their own penalty box and soaking up pressure, or pushing higher up to compress space and put their side in control.
Notably, just as Porto scored their fewest number of league goals for nine years, they also conceded their fewest number of goals for nine years. While a title-winning side, this was also the most defensive Porto had been for nearly a decade, which proved perfect for a European Cup challenge as they kept four clean sheets in final five European matches.
Porto are a lesson in how to approach this unique situation. But it would unquestionably be a significant risk for a side like Basel, for example, to deliberately become more defensive in domestic competition, risking upsetting their fans and probably compromising their chances of another league title purely to slightly increase their very narrow chances of a serious Champions League run.

Park the bus and you learn nothing
Totally disagree my friend, Brendan has coached players to become better.If we ‘parked the bus-, i think players who are not natural defenders, would have better awareness, and we would defend better as a team in the long run HH
Yes, perhaps BADA BING But players who are not natural attackers wouldn’t gain better awareness. And we couldn’t attack better as a team in the long run

PSSG (and others) are in breach of the FFP rules as laid out by UEFA.
UEFA are shit scared to challenge the so called “rich” clubs.
Why?
Because UEFA themselves are corrupt to the core.
Big thumbs up to Bayern tonight.. a proper club.
Anderlecht was a meaningless game for them.. BM had already qualified.
However, they fought back to win the 3pts.
In doing so, it helped our cause.
But, that was not their concern, they wanted to win because it is a club with a proud history.
PSG?
I’ve lived in Paris for 30 years… they should be more humble.. but they ain’t.
Will say no more…

That was a very different long ball from anything we’d seen before. I was there tonight and they were playing a different game from what I’ve seen before, not only in terms of the skill but it wasn’t just that high tempo high press stuff that gives me a headache it was the angles that messed up our central defenders and full backs.
Gordybhoy 64, condolences on your sad loss. Thoughts and prayers for all the family. RIP Josephine.

I usually enjoy reading your posts, normally quiet informative, reasoned and balanced.
Not much I can say other than do you think it’s acceptable? As for questioning my support for Celtic, that gave me the only laugh of tonight.
Good night and get back to your usual standard of post rather than having a go at a Celtic fan.
What about ye B.
We’ll still wake up Tims. No better feeling.
Hopefully Murderwell will be the recipients of our pain.
Onwards and upwards.

Gordybhoy. Consider it done. May she rest in Peace,
I’m signing off for the night. Need a wee break after tonight but we will bounce back.
