  1. KLV 9.48pm

     

     

    Great shout around 6.30pm about Sinky… he is still an important player for us…. “out of form” “not as good as his first season” guff… he scores important goals and keeps trying

     

     

    Hail Hail

  2. i'vehadtochangemymind on

    Good result for the international brigade , considering the ref applied a rule. All eyes on Gerard to get a result now when it matters for rankers international.

  3. No idea how McGregor didn’t get a bigger move in his career than Hull and the Huns. He’s a knob but he’s also good enough to be playing for a top team in the EPL.

     

     

    Bring on trophy weekend, Griff will be the match winner and Broonie will get his kebab.

  4. Hi Bhoys

     

     

    Huns demand ref given dna test to see if he’s wee wullies cousin.

     

     

    KEEP THE FAITH

  5. Mon the Rapid Vienna ….

     

     

    As a 14yr old bhoy I never thought I would ever type those words… I suppose at 14 I didn’t think I would ever be typing, as I definitely didn’t take secretarial studies in 2nd year

     

     

    Roll on Sunday … Brendan the squirrel has made the league cup a necessity, again I think when Neil was the manager Morton put us out after penalties as Neil concentrated on CL last 16…. some Australian Tom Rogic was one of the changes that night, ah how time flies …. roll on Sunday :-)

  6. Goodnight Timland

     

     

     

    This is what its like to be Celtic

     

     

     

    Enjoy and

     

     

    Play nice

  7. Watching the Hun sending off. Incredibly all 3 zombies managed to get something on the Villarreal player. A kick a stamp a kick in the ribs on the ground. Any of them could be sent off.

  8. I thought we were very good and deserved more than a 1 goal victory. Watched the huns game after ours. McGregor was motm by a mile. Saved their sorry arses. Have not seen much of the Tribute Act (mainly Sportscene Sunday). How shite at playing fitba they are?

  9. Sitting here thinking aka Charlie Stupid …

     

     

    Boyata has been immense this season, Benkovic is a star in the making, as a defender KT is outstanding as a winger he covers the ground and puts in a good ball now and again, PC Lustig is, as outstanding, but never will be a winger, but as a defender we will not see many better

    Sandman’s rating of Griff made me laugh out loud for the first time since watching Ricky Gervais’s Humanity.

     

     

    ===================

     

     

    Me and Wee BGFC killing ourselves laughing the the Griff rating – brilliant :-))

  11. Since it’s quiet and it seems our away win in Europe has quietened the blog … I wonder if Salzburg didn’t win or Rosenburg managed to score against Celtic (they have scored every other home game) but anyways … ma tuppence worth on the non-fitba topic last night which I read in my way to work this morning … right to buy ??? Well am afraid for me it was a sad topic on the blog and I would love for one poster who still lives in social housing to comment… for me whether a dig at Maggie or whatever it was all posted from the comfort of your own mortgage … if it wasn’t for the the right to buy I can assure you nearly every family I know would have never got a sniff of the property ladder, very touchy subject when some if not all are posting from their own homes

     

     

    CQN is very rarely patronising, on this subject, not the best, I could probably guess there aren’t many still getting red letters if their rent is late

  12. Just because we can –

     

     

    Love this!

    SANDMAN on 29TH NOVEMBER 2018 9:56 PM

     

    SANDMAN DEFINITIVE RATINGS: CELTIC v THE ONLY TEAM IN NORWAY ANYONE CAN NAME IN 5 SECONDS. (“Ronny Deila!” DOES NOT COUNT)

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

    “Hordes of them. Hundreds, in Hoops, pished, singing songs of things we know not of. We cried. We hid.”

     

     

     

     

     

     

    – Viking Chieftan.

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

    “Griffiths has travelled! We are back in business! Productions levels are up, we have jobs galore!”

     

     

     

     

     

     

    – Norwegian Minister for Porn Industry

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

    “Just make sure yeez pump the Zombies on the 29th, or ye’ll ruin my holidays.”

     

     

     

     

     

     

    – Santa.

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

    GORDON : Almost N/A but 8/10

     

     

     

     

     

     

    Big Pinky lit up the Arctic circle with his fuschia keeper’s tap and spent the entire first half a lone pink blob in an empty expanse of green, like Shrek’s wayward nipple.

     

     

     

     

    Commanded his box well as pressure grew second half and chose his passes well enough to silence the Distribution Polis.

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

    KT : 8/10

     

     

     

     

     

     

    Young superhero charged up and down that line like a good ‘un, firing in some telling crosses and only receded in effectiveness as tiredness set in, occasionally a bit tatty with his play late on; could have had more defensive help from Sincy.

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

    BOYATA : 8/10

     

     

     

     

     

     

    Up against taxi-driver assassin Bender/Benter/Bendingbentshot (choose a name ffs) and big Dedryck coped well a day after his 28th birthday, despite livening things up with a few bits of risky business. Sell! Sell!

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

    BENKOVIC : 8/10

     

     

     

     

     

     

    Made up a solid Celtic defensive wall that held out really well. Composed as Beethoven’s 9th, assured as the Huns’ financial demise, he exhibits all that’s frustrating about the level we operate at; i.e we can’t bloody afford him.

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

    LUSTIG : 8/10

     

     

     

     

     

     

    Police Captain Lustig was a rock. Up against a lightning-quick winger, he showed all his bigtime experience to cope well – stiffed his opponent after ten minutes and bought himself some fear-factor that bode well for the rest of the game.

     

     

     

     

    There’s talk of a 12-month extension; make it 24, have him here for 10IAR; he has an invaluable contribution to make to our mindset in games like this.

     

     

     

     

    Any arguments, just watch a re-run of Sweden holding Italy in the San Siro to knock them out the World Cup.

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

    CALMAC : 7.5/10

     

     

     

     

     

     

    Very tidy, marshalled his area of the field well, prompted and prodded; still lightweight in that defensive mid role as was shown when Rosenborg threw on a sub (dirty bastard, given) to rumble him up which affected our rhythm second-half.

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

    CHRISTIE : 6.5/10

     

     

     

     

     

     

    Still dynamic and full of energy despite things not falling for him; a number of duff touches at crucial moments and so excited to be playing he actually decided to liven it up by blocking a certain goal from Eddy. his movement was good, just one of those nights for him otherwise.

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

    FORREST : 8.5/10

     

     

     

     

     

     

    The Prestwick Flying Flasher was dynamite as he tore around the park like a human Speedy Gonzales.

     

     

     

     

    Sent his full-back to Santaland and back, contorting him to set up the winner. Thankfully survived an attempted-maiming by scruffily-barneted Rosenborg irritant who resembled one of those dodgy kids from gloomy 1970s Scandinavian children’s dramas set in small towns on the edge of

     

     

     

     

    sinister woodland.

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

    ROGIC : 9/10

     

     

     

     

     

     

    The furthest North Aussie EVER. Has been appointed official ‘Antipodean Arctic Explorer Bloke’ by the Oz government.

     

     

     

     

    Big T looked immune to the climate, partially due to a pre-match six-pack of XXXX.

     

     

     

     

    Silken marvels produced with every touch, which we should have done more with.

     

     

     

     

    Faded late on but that was due mainly to his worrying about the proximity of polar bears; 90% of Australians believe they are huge albino kangaroos. Fact.

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

    SINCY : 7/10

     

     

     

     

     

     

    Almost. And Aye. Sonic The Hedgehog returns; just about. Got a bit of his dynamism back about him and looked a threat. Then would disappear. Only to re-emerge and deliver. Kept his heid to place it beautifully with his heid for the goal. Just get that confidence bubbling, Scotty bhoy and tear it up again.

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

    EDDY MERCURY : 7/10

     

     

     

     

     

     

    Like Sincy, like Christie, nearly on it but final touch and decision-making let him down. But if you watch his general demeanour in these big games, he’s no shrinking violet any more; shoulders getting bigger as he’s asked to carry the team up front.

     

     

     

     

    As a comparison, note how we offered nothing when he was swapped for Sparky; not Sparky’s game-style, really, but Eddy’s physical presence is certainly becoming more evident; upset them all first half.

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

    SUBS:

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

    GRIFFITHS : 6/10

     

     

     

     

     

     

    Distracted all evening by the Scandinavian hotties in the crowd, Sparky did his level best to charge around and make an impression.

     

     

     

     

    But given he was a slave to frothing hormones and could hardly run due to aching baws, plus not knowing the score or exactly who we were playing – “Sweden or sumfin’” – he handled it all well until the final whistle when he threw himself into the crowd at the Rosenborg end and disappeared under a writhing horde of screaming blonde babes.

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

    GAMBOA : 7/10

     

     

     

     

     

     

    Tony Montana, the enigma – if he’s not zipping around like a coked-up jailbreaker and blowing a cross into the upper tier, he’s popping up between lumbering giants at our back post to make a goal-saving block on a header with his back.

     

     

     

     

    After he tied up Neymar like Hannibal Lecter during the World Cup, I’ll always make a case for keeping him; the unpredictability – it’s like having a dice with one deaths-head face, or a revolver with one bullet and five empty chambers.

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

    BROON : 7/10

     

     

     

     

     

     

    Captain Marvel returns and slots in like he’d never been away. Straight back into the Broon Hoose in front of the defence, dictating the tempo and discipline.

     

     

     

     

    Good to have the presence and psyche back at the heart of the team when times get tough. Goes to St.Petersburg and strolls about in a t-shirt, goes to Trondheim and shaves his head because he was WARM. Take note, pussies…

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

    BR 8/10

     

     

     

     

     

     

    Set everything up right, got the performance he must have dreamed of, may have felt the universe wasn’t going to play ball as we struggled to kill them off.

     

     

     

     

    Hope he took of JF due to that knock, wouldn’t like to think he repeated his Leipzig error of removing our best ball-carrier too early; again we suffered with no out-ball. Get a point off Salzburg and it’ll be quite and achievement in his managerial career.

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

    OVERALL : 9/10

     

     

     

     

     

     

    Ridiculous ramping-up of tension last ten minutes as we failed to kill them off. Could have been coasting had we been sharper with final touches and finishing.

     

     

     

     

    ‘Just lash it into the fcking net!’ as you commented, probably more than once. The players’ insistence on walking the ball up to their goal-line and then daring each other to kneel down and head it in almost came back to bite us.

     

     

     

     

    BUT, the Bhoys have dragged themselves back from nowhere to be within a point of qualifying – a great feat and Rosenborg have always been sticky to get past.

     

     

     

     

    Now we get a grand finale at Celtic Park and possibly Euro competition after Xmas. Well done. Well fcking done, as they say in Norway.

    Sorry, but I think that lot are rank rotten, going on what I watched tonight. McGregor has a pact wi Beelzebub I am sure. ?

  14. SANDMAN

     

    I thought we got caught in two minds in the second half.

     

    Did well till last third then looked like we weren’t sure wether to try and kill them off or hold possession.Unfortunately we did neither and created pressure on ourselves with some dreadful passing to constantly concede possession.

     

    A better team would have punished us.

  15. Sandman’s post the bit I don’t agree with

     

     

    “BUT, the Bhoys have dragged themselves back from nowhere to be within a point of qualifying – a great feat and Rosenborg have always been sticky to get past”

     

     

    We lost in Austria & Germany but even in Martin ONeils tenure we were strong at home…. beating Rosenberg & Leipzig at home means we have always gave ourselves a chance, a win tonight will give the players a wee boost and I think we will do Salzburg as the crowd will carry the team

    One to Another.

     

    Sister, Brother.

     

    The Charlatans at Hydro next Wednesday wi James. Whilst we are at Fir Park. Glad I got Hydro ticket. My son says we can watch game on his phone in the Hydro. Sorted all round. ?

     

    YNWA

  17. So I take it there are no Cqners on the blog tonight who rent in the social sector ????

     

     

    Strange to think some would have an opinion in something that actually doesn’t effect their own lives ….

  18. Fan a tic- agree, we should have put the game to bed earlier, we dominated 1st half,2nd half they put another guy in MF,Christie and Rogic did not get same possession and space,we did not react.Not complaining, as our away record is shocking, but should have been easier…..HH

  19. Wits 12.28am

     

     

    All magic here

     

     

    I have a confession to make, I always say I won’t back your “tips” because am a rubbish gambler but at BMCUWPs day oot you texted him and I told him I would refrain …. we had missed the first horse but got the 7/2 shot that night … cheers
