  1. Nir Biton, MOM, shame it’s too late for Broony to learn how to deliver a message without loosing the rag.

  2. The result today was everything, all is is background noise.

     

    Job done.

     

     

    Well done to Ronny and the Bhoys in Green.

     

     

    Laters.

  3. Ideally avoid Zagreb…. A dangerous outfit.

     

     

    BATE, very similar to Qarabag

     

    Nicosia I would take

     

    Albanians I would take

     

     

    Avoid rapid Vienna.

  4. Good disciplined performance which augurs well for the future.

     

    Special mention to Izzy ( he can defend) and Nir Bitton who is class.

     

    Despite being increasingly comfortable as the game went on my tourette syndrome leaked out again.

     

    Apologies to the wife,the dug and the neighbours.

    Ha ha – hurting huns – I’m trying to think in my mind of a more negative title…

    Good to see the Blog such a happy place tonight (with the exception of the rather ungracious comments of Canamalar). I only saw a little bit of the game on a poor quality stream but even then Bitton oozed class and the oft maligned defensive quality of Izzy was certainly wrong this evening. He made some great tackles.

  8. Nervy as…..erm…..anything but watching that again in the cold light of day……it would look soooooo much more comfortable!

     

    Nothing wrong with being nervy……can show you care!!

  9. …and just to point out the importance of the CHAMPIONS route to the CL Group Stages, here is the potential 4th round opponents for non-champions (unseeded teams) :

    Just left daughter’s house after seeing only the second half due to bus problems.firstly,well done the ‘tic on a difficult pitch,conditions and an incompetent ref. That said if I wasn’t already white -haired I would be now . No criticism of James and Kris on the night,but, they are not the best trackers back and a no score does the job. Then again, RD knows what he is doing I think:) 4 more games ! Who could ask for anything more!!!

  11. Awe_Naw, young Tierney looked good on Saturday at LB.

     

     

    Give the kids a game, you never know, might save PL loadsa wonga!

     

     

    And do what we used to do so well, produce our own.

  12. The Good Ship Celtica on

    Well done Celtic. Well done Ronny. Tactics spot on. Should have got that away goal.

     

     

    For the CQN team – It is an absolute nightmare trying to access the site through mobile (Blackberry in my case). Previous mobile site did not have ads so this might be the issue. On two occaisions my BB has shut down and rebooted.

     

     

    TGSC,

     

    Sailing On….

  13. TheOriginalSadiesBhoy on

    I have to agree with the post above re. Izzy. I love the ghuy. He always gets criticised as being a weak link in Europe but he was brilliant tonight. Very decisive and didn’t give his opponent a sniff. I’m a bit biased though. My wife taught his wee bhoy and Izzy sent me a signed jersey :-))

  14. Oh and well done to Chris Sutton for stating that Virgil is better than Stones, so the alleged offer no where near high enough. So bugger off EPL and leave him to develop at a proper team and win medals. Something that used to mean more to players.

     

     

    .

     

     

    Imagine being a sticky and having to watch BT tonight? Naw me neither :-)

     

    Neil, John and Sutty….hun hell haha!

  15. Well done Ronny and the bhoys. A thoroughly professional performance and I felt relaxed throughout apart from button messing around at the end.

     

     

    Ok next please!

  16. mike in toronto on

    should be a good weekend … Friday, my local team humps the zombies, saturday go to the cottage, and sunday, Celtic win the glasgow derby… if carlsberg did weekends!

  17. bournesouprecipe on

    ‘We need a left back that can defend, well I think tonight Izzy shut quite a few of the gobshites right up :) ‘

     

     

     

     

     

    * agrees with this *

  18. Well done to the Bhoys, a truly professional performance, under difficult circumstances, given the pitch and weather out there.

     

    Celtic TV was audio only for me, so I tried watching on Idman TV but I got 3 secs of action and 15 secs buffering, but every time we had the ball, and it buffered, it always came back with our opponents in possession, giving the impression that we had difficulties holding on to the ball ?

     

    It made for very nervy and frustrating viewing.

     

    Given that, I’m delighted to be in the draw come Friday.

  19. Margaret McGill on

    Phew!

     

    That was a close one!

     

    At least our European Camp pain will continue on mainland Europe!

  20. Well done Ronny,tactics spot on.Biton and Lustiq class acts.

     

    Remember guys this game was played in temperatures in the mid 80s,plus the humidity .

     

    This team could be on the beginning of a great journey.lets all have the same faith as we had in 1967 and let’s see where it takes us.HH.TAL

  21. Nye Bevans' rebel soldier on

    Good Evening Timland.

     

     

    Phew!!!!!

     

    I’ve had a really shit day, only caught the last 30 mins on the telly, had

     

    tae suffer radio shortie beforehand,thought we were in control and had

     

    2 great chances,we now have European fitba up until Christmas, we need

     

    that at the very least,I think we are progressing under RD,I will sleep the

     

    sleep of the innocents tonight,away tae chill, God bless the Celtic family.

  22. Thank you Celtic, a very hard earned draw against all the odds, heat, crap pitch,and a woeful referee.

  23. Well done Bhoys, job done. HH

     

     

     

    No point in even analysing that as it is over and we are through. One

     

    recommendation though:

     

     

    shoot Forrest shoot…

     

     

    HH

  24. About as comfortable a performance as you could wish.Limited to one long range shot .

     

     

    This teams going places. As for Nir..class performance, skill,pace, bairns and no lack of dig.

     

     

    Exciting times ahead

  25. Careful With That Tax, Moonbeams on

    TGSC .. Using a BB myself .. No props apart from CCP usernames and comments on the blog..

     

     

    ..

     

     

    Try ‘opera’ if you’re not already using it.

  26. Congratulations Celtic, mission accomplished, and I think at times we looked comfortable.

  27. let the people sing on

    Haven’t posted for ages, but feel the need to recognise a great result and good performance – well done Bhoys, well done Ronny!

     

    Nir, the whole defence, big Craig and Broonie (2nd half) excellent – Jo and Jamesie should have finished them off, but no real complaints.

     

    Pretty comfortable in the end and good to see Lenny and BBJ in the studio being supportive – big change from Sky….

     

    Looking forward to the draw on Friday

    I could not relax watching this game but we never looked like losing it. A truly professional performance. European football guaranteed but CL qualification would be tremendous.

    I was on the phone to your bhoy earlier, I’m booked in to the same establiment on March, I’ll be looking forward to a good session.HH

  30. 8 more European ties Guaranteed Magic,

     

    When I rewatch that with the nerve factor removed ,I will see that was a stroll in the park and they had 1 good long range chance in 180 odd mins,

     

    Defended well and mission accomplished

     

    Well done Ronny & the Bhoys.

     

     

    Ps knowing how much the Huns and the SMSM are spewing is just a fantastic bonus .
