It’s difficult to analyse Celtic’s performance last night. For much of the game the players were clearly enjoying themselves and should have been rewarded with more goals, but Dunfermline were incredibly porous in central midfield. Ki and Commons were able to stage a passing master-class which was pleasing on the eye.
The fact that the deluge of goals didn’t come is not particularly concerning. Celtic don’t make a habit of profligacy in front of goals, making chances is more of a problem, so it would be a mistake to read too much into one game.
While Dunfermline were out of the contest for most of the evening they also retained two strikers, something we seldom see from SPL visitors at Celtic Park, so that fact that they were able to construct an attempt at goal five minutes from time was not surprising.
Celtic got what they needed from the game but Danny Lennon, who brings St Mirren to Celtic Park on Saturday, will also have seen enough to let him form a decent game-plan, especially if Celtic play a 4-4-2 with two wingers, as they finished the game yesterday.

Ball given away halfway line. 3-0

I agree totally there Kojo, these young boys and coaches, if they are clever, will take more from this game than 20 games in Scotland.
Barca no.9 is one dangerous striker!
Eyes Wide Open
Just read it myself. Scary stuff. A glimpse into post-legislation life for Tims.
The most important thing is the John Lennon quote by Colshbhoy though, and it is something we should all heed, no matter how much the authorities try and provoke us.
“When it gets down to having to use violence, then you are playing the system’s game.
The establishment will irritate you… to make you fight.
Because once they’ve got you violent then they know how to handle you.
The only thing they don’t know how to handle is nonviolence and humour.”

He has put a few supportive messages on twitter too.
And had dogs abuse fromthose delightful cheeky chappies the vanguard bears
Mistake there for the goal, but up until that we have been the better team second half, but these Barca kids are seriously good.
Freekick to Us – header cleared out their box……….
1-2-3 passes – no.9 scores again 4-0!
4-0. Barca boy hat-trick
Noticed an increase in graham speirs mentions the past few days, the pathetic internet troll must have been sent out by his bosses to try and get more clicks for his failing rag…
4 now.
Wonder if that number 9 fancies a loan to Celtic Park until the summer?
Good learning opportunity for the wee hoops now, lets see if they can stop the heids going down and still try to make a game of it
Their striker is incredible, only watched the second half but that boy is going to be a World superstar with that kind of striking.

Spiers is a journalist and a Rangers fan. But he was also brought up to know right from wrong,and has rarely been slow to express his opinions in that regard.
I think that if any of the mainstream journos were to investigate the Special Branch allegations,he would be most likely.
Hope so,anyway!
BMCUW, don’t think Sally would read it but you never know! Scott Allen would be a great signing for us and a snip at 300k
Seven FFS!!
This Celtic Eleven..most are..

Absolutely top quote mucker – brilliant.
I love quotes like that – theyre inspiring I dont care what anyone says.
‘Our revenge will be the laughter of our children’ is on the same lines.
I have so much respect for those who can capture a thousand words and put them into a sentence.
(Clearly im not one of those with the ramblings im partial to!)
Barca Number 9 — Jean Marie Dongou
Wow — check the first touch around about 2:40.
Kojo is correct about the passing.
We put 3-4 passes together but our Bhoy with the ball is immediately put under pressure and is forced to punt or is crowded out.
Barca are stringing upto 10+ passes – the guy under pressure almost always has an option.
I’m watching the game on Celtic TV, must be 5 mins behind yous, Barca just scored their 4th.
What do you call the number 9? I remember Barcelona had a potential superstar 2 years ago to potentially rival Messi. He fell out with Barcelona and subsequently joined man city. Yesterday he joined Barnsley on loan. The name Gai Assulin.

He’s only 16. He has already emulated Messi’s achievements with Barca’s underage teams. What a prospect indeed.

You’re way off beam. Speirs is both articulate and also eloquent, not to mention even-handed, brave even, and intelligent. You don’t display any of these qualities, anything but.
You are supporting the wrong team.
Go to FF and chat with your pals there, the talk of “rags” and “trolls”.
Frankly, you’re just a bigot.
And we at Celtic, don’t do bigots.
That lets you out.
I presume you understand the meaning and significance of your monicker?
Maybe not. Look up Victor Jara.
