    That made ma day as much as the result seeing DD return.

     

     

    As WITS said earlier all for one one for all.

     

     

    I forget that sometimes:))

    So many things about yesterday’s game to comment on.

     

    The most pivotal for me was Brendan’s decision to go all in and bring on fast Ed for Forrest.

     

    With 10 men on the field that was a brave, brave move and how it paid off.

    SANDMAN DEFINITIVE RATINGS:

     

     

    ‘Possibly the most incisive forensic analysis of a soccer game you’ll read in the next five minutes, ever. Take it from me, Sandman; good guy, trust me, I know.’ D.Trump

     

     

    ‘I’d ditch the posh illigitimate ginger halfwit for Sandman, if only he’d answer my calls.’ Megan

     

     

    ‘Aye, right; this is what you need – more aimless, pointless drivel to keep you preoccupied and gloating when there are real, genuine hurting Huns out there looking for a shoulder to cry on. Dear God, the humanity.’ Ghandi.

     

     

    ‘Net catcher fall! Hand slap ball to Alfie! Kick ball! See post, oh post! Oh, ball not go net! Ball go back big yellow net catcher! Oh, bad Alfie, Alfie feel bad – uglies shout, “BOO Alfie! BOO Alfie bassa!” Oh noooooo….’ A.Morelos.

     

     

     

     

    Let the people sing…

     

     

    BAIN : 8/10

     

     

    Who? WTF? Difficult to extracate yourself from a Mother’s Day breakfast, hoof it to the pub and take your first sup of bog-standard watery pish lager just as a complete stranger picks the ball out of the net.

     

    Thankfully we ascertained he was a bona-fide Celtic keeper as the bhoy kept the Blue Meanies at bay with some splendid keeping and was never flustered with the ball at his feet.

     

    Appeared to enjoy himself, confident and brave in the midst of a pit that Quatermass would not fancy (old-school sci-fi fans, chalk that one up…).

     

     

     

    BOYATA : 1/10

     

     

    Dedryck chose the strangest of settings and inconvenient moment to launch his new Shyte Club project. We really should abide by the three Shyte Club rules of not talking about it at all, save to say it became perversely amusing to watch Dedryck fight with his imaginary alter-ego all over the pitch, usually coming off worst in a clumsy heap on the deck. Would have been better off making soap today…

     

     

     

    AJER : 8/10

     

     

    Something very Praetorian guard about the kid Kris. Engaged with every mischevious Hun attack and made some timely interventions; held his discipline and nerve as the experienced team-mates around him self-imploded. Great performance. Terrifies the Huns in the enclosure with his stature; barely a goblin with bravado enough to holler at him when he went over near them to retrieve the ball; lot of hard swallowing.

     

     

     

    JOZO : 6/10

     

     

    In the Serbian Gulags the drug mules get a dunt. Jozo applied the rules perfectly to the Huns’ own Colombian courier, ‘Through Pain We Grow To Learn’ – but the Conservative and Unionist MP running the line in front of the BNP enclosure (yes, that’s right, good old impartial Scottish officialdom) has a sado-masochistic fetish for sinewy men in football kit and got over-excited at the sudden moderate violence unfolding before him.

     

    Ergo shorts got tented, more than flags went up and the watching world witnessed linesman Ross breathlessly blurt out his safe word ‘Redcard,redcard,redcard!’ as excited gimp Gollum raced onto the scenes hoping to join in some secondary felching.

     

    It all got far too Pulp Fiction for them and Jozo was required to navigate the Mordor shower dungeon with barely an hour gone. A shame – along with Ajer he’d managed to contain the threats in the alarming spaces opening up as Dedryck cavorted wildly with himself all over the back line.

     

    In the crapto-currency of Scoddish Fidba’ : A Hun yellow card = A Celtic red.

     

     

     

     

    KT 7/10

     

     

    Quieter than usual but always the industrious engine. Things weren’t breaking for him. Could/should have buried one early on but chose to square instead of shoot. Worked his socks off positionally at ten men closing down space. Would die for the cause. The bhoys a star; KT, one of our own.

     

     

     

    FORREST : 7/10

     

     

    Worried them, had a go at them continually, crowded out and shuttled down cul-de-sacs. But he’s become relentless. Like KT, not a lot of breaks went the Prestwick Flyer’s way; the Huns got lucky against him more than once. Next time, Jamesy, next time.

     

     

     

    NTCHAM : 9/10

     

     

    Son Of Sam (Jackson), the Black Zidane – imperious, controlled and precise. Reading of the game and positional awareness is outstanding. Guile and invention to match, efficiency a masterclass of ball use. Just keep playing him, BUT get Kouassi in beside him. More of that to come. Joint MOTM with…

     

     

     

    BROON : 9/10

     

     

    Insane Hunskelping, Orc-enraging, Mutant-teasing uber-skipper; thrives on the festering hate of the Unholy, strides about that Den Of Iniquity like Van Helsing with a grudge. Wonderful pass to set up Moussa.

     

    Battles opposition midfielders into submission. So combative and gallus, that BR takes liberties with him sometimes and leaves him to be the sole midfield enforcer; get a water carrier in there beside him (Kouassi) to ease his burden and we’ll see Broon lift TEN-in-a-row.

     

     

     

    McGREGOR : 7.5/10

     

     

    Defying all logical team selection to buzz around in frenzied style and upset Hun equilibrium; a real fecking nuisance to them when he’s on his game – for 70 minutes he threatened to pick them apart, foiled by a great save.

     

     

     

    ROGIC : 7.5/10

     

     

    Glides like a fusion of cocaine and treacle, beguilingly sublime and silky then bursts into kinetic activity with a devastating left foot. Beautiful movement and goal, just wish he’d do it more consistently. His celebration – LMAO.

     

     

     

    DEMBELE : 8.5/10

     

     

    Temporarily looked isolated and ineffective as has been too often the case this season; but this reinvigorated Moussa likes a rumble in the jungle and he bullied his way into relevance, muscling out Cruella De Ville and Cardoso, causing them all sorts of strife with his movement and general presence. Terrific finish for his goal, terrific pass to Edouard to set him up. Those Dembele Dollars are racking up on the exchange.

     

     

    SUBS:

     

     

     

    HENDRY : 6/10

     

     

    Decent enough shift for the bhoy coming into shore up the ten men. Kept his nerve to see it through. Difficult ask to come of fthe bench and pick up the pace of an attack swarming around our box.

     

     

     

    EDOUARD : 9/10

     

     

    What impact! What skills! There are reasons why this kid features in the world’s top ten promising young players in Equippe magazine (sp?) and a reason why PSG value him at £8mill – and we got to see some of that talent today.

     

    Class. The shifting feet, the whipped shot, the accuracy, killed those savages right there; when that delicious strike reamed into the corner of Fud’s goal you could sense the anguish fill the hordes’ black souls.

     

    Buy him if he’ll stay, Celtic.

     

     

     

    ARMSTRONG ; N/A

     

     

    Great hair. Floated about for a few minutes. Helped run the clock down, hair remained salon-esquely magnificent.

     

     

     

     

    Brendan Rodgers 5/10

     

     

    Controversial!

     

     

    Shockeroony. I thought he got lucky. Again. Sign of a good manager? Discuss among yerselves, but…

     

     

    Set up far too open. BROON, KOUASSI, NTCHAM – midfield trinity that dominated Zenit would have shut the Huns down for fun.

     

     

    Instead we contrived to make a shite Hun side look good by affording them acres of space and too much of the ball. We contributed to our own downfall. Gave them hope. i hate giving them hope. The fun of it has lost its lustre – the reason their stands are still full is down to the hope we’ve given them this season.

     

     

    The gallusness of going toe-to-toe and inviting them to have a go in their own midden makes for a wry smile but it was playing fast and loose with our 7th title. It almost blew.

     

     

    All week they believed they could give us a game. There was no need to fuel that notion – just shut them down and bury them Celtic; hopefully Brendan will have this in mind for the semi – play the mid trinity, double up top with Edouard and Moussa; fit the flyers around that core, vanquish the army of darkness once and for all.

     

     

     

    OVERALL : 8/10

     

     

    A rollercoaster experience when a smooth ride at high tempo would have sufficed. Entertaining stuff, but unnecessary stress all round. We looked flimsy at times, relying too much on individual interventions to save and win the game; as a team we were unconvincing, disjointed, playing in bursts and not clinical enough in every department.

     

    Thought we got sucked into their way of playing – chaotic and unpredicatable – we should have had the wherewithall to take the ball, keep it and dominate them. Again, that’s down to BR’s selection.

     

     

    We rolled the dice and won. But it could easily have been snake eyes at Snake Mountain.

     

     

     

    (Ooooooh, what a finish. FULL FCKN STOP RIGHT THERE!)

  13. 'GG on

    Brendan 5/10.

     

    Nonsense.

     

    Down to 10 men, he brought on a striker.

     

    A tactic and a striker which win 3 points, confused Murty and confounded the Huns.

    I’m surprised, well not really, that no one linked Sunday to the game.

     

    Yesterday was LAETARE SUNDAY.

     

    Rejoice oh Jerusalem.

     

    I was certainly rejoicing at noon mass.

     

    I lit up the church with my smile.

     

    The lady who sits next to us, Portuegese, asked my wife why I was so obviously happy.

     

    She knows about Celtic, I’ve told her and even the priests and deacons, and she understood.

     

    Today was also the local St Patrick’s Day parade.

     

    Attendance has long been impossible for me, but I’m there in spirit.

     

    It’s been a good weekend all round.

     

    All I prayed for came about.

     

    Well apart from the snow melting…

     

    And the lottery win

     

    And the back pain being cured.

     

    Still you can’t have everything.

     

    Hospital visit in the morning, so

     

    Go with God and not too much gloating at work later.

    It’s only a pleasure reading this blog, apart from when the moaning minnies and mineshafters appear.

     

    Then I just exercise my thumb and trot on.

     

    Goodnight and God bless every happy Celtic fan and forgive the Huns.

    A sclaffy Morelos miss away from another Brendan draw vs Murty, and you’d think it was 1967 again!

     

    Dear, dear.

    That was a great result today in spite of wee willie winkle and his whistle and Ross the Tory bassa linesman shouting red card red card. We were playing 10 v 14 for most of the decond half in doomdome and prevailed. I think you are too remote fae oor team to understand these days. I will gift you my ticket for a seat in the auld jungle any game of your choice pal. You will not be contributing to Celtic’s income. Any match gie me a shout Kev. Would love to see you back in the auld jungle supporting oor bhoys.

    When I was speaking to my kid sis on Saturday,we were bemoaning the slow and almost static build-up play we see too often. Cross-field to a static player,going nowhere.

     

     

    If you watch a rerun of the goals,all of them were forward to a player running into space.

     

     

    Which means that BR is tapping my phone. Or hers.

    SANDMAN

     

     

    A post-match glow isn’t complete without your unique ratings! Superb stuff,as usual.

     

     

    I’ll take issue with your 5/10 for BR,as I agree with ‘GG on this. I think you marked him down from an otherwise 8 or 9 because he didn’t play Kouassi.

     

     

    Well,he wasn’t even on the bench. The fact that Armstrong was,despite not having played this year and been frankly poor all season,suggests that he also was injured.

     

     

    Dunno what the score is with injury problems,btw. But their prevalence has to be a worry to us all.
