    I was wrong – watching their goal again it wasn’t a case of the CBs getting outmuscled, it was a simple punt up the pitch and the RC centre forward getting between Starfelt and Ralston who just missed it. Jenz seems to be getting the blame for it but Starfelt was more culpable imo

     

     

    I agree, there’s no way CCV would have let the RC player get the header in unchallenged, the ball travelled about 70 yards. Strange as I’ve always thought Starfelt was better under long balls than Welsh and I’d forgotten Welsh had gone off injured so I’d assumed he’d been outmuscled

     

     

    The glass jaw people talked about last season seemed to have been strengthened but leaving out CCV for one game showed its still a vulnerability

    Another fan view on Abilgaard

     

     

    He’s a physically imposing midfielder who is mainly a strong defender. He’ll run a ton, win alot of headers, tackle a lot, and in build up he will do the simple thing and mostly not be too involved in the last third of the pitch. He is, by definition, a *defensive* (!) midfielder. But he’s a good one. He made the Team of the Season in Russia last year (20/21 season) where Rubin Kazan finished fourth. He was, along with guys like Khvicha Kvaratskhelia and Dorde Despotovic, part of an extremely important group of non-Russian players that made Rubin Kazan as good as they were. When that group of players left in the wake of the Russian invasion, Rubin Kazan plummeted immediately and was relegated.

     

     

    But yeah, you’re getting a guy who was one of the best defensive midfielders in the Russian league pre-invasion.

     

     

    I agree he might not be an auto pick but maybe the type of player for certain games. It takes all types and AP is backing up Mooy Idegucci and McCarthy, all variants of a DM. The starting formation and tactic won’t change much under AP, but the game is now more and more about who’s on the bench. Ours this season, has been pass remarkable and the window is wide open.

    BSR,

     

     

    He’ll be an auto-pick for the matches that matter. Great choice to have and a very different one from the others in midfield. Delighted we’ve finally got that profile in the mix.

    David Sansun watches a lot of Russian football and says this about Abildgaard

     

     

    https://twitter.com/RFN_David/status/1565096663114547209?s=20&t=Fiv8_gfhsds-EwsMxRo9Cw

     

     

    “OK I’m seeing Oliver Abildgaard being linked to Celtic.

     

     

    I put the dampeners on Starfelt and Haksabanovic, but Abildgaard is a top, top quality player and would be very comfortable in the SFPL.

     

     

    Would be an unbelievable signing.

     

     

    Rubin were just nowhere near as good when he wasn’t in the team.

     

     

    Great ball winning midfielder, a little aggressive, big, strong, good mentality. Keeps things simple on the ball, very left footed but also very comfortable with the ball.”

     

     

    Far more positive than Rubin Kazan’s league position and goals conceded would suggest. He was out for ten games with injury last season when they dropped more points than when he was in the team but didnt conceded any less goals. it doesn’t look like he picks up a lot of injuries which is a positive for a cdm

  5. DeniaBhoy on

    BSR – Ange has yet to make a bad signing. He sounds like an upgrade on Nir, a utility player who can help out both defence and midfield. Shame we didn’t have him a few weeks ago. Might have been the obvious choice to put in against Lundstrum.

    BOURNESOUPRECIPE on 1ST SEPTEMBER 2022 10:59 AM

     

     

    Thumbs up

     

     

    Good to read – far more positive. He’s got his work cut out making the starting 11 ahead of calmac and the pasty Pirlo but he definitely looks like a decent option for the occasional backs to the wall stuff.

  8. Big Jimmy on

    Feck it…Ive decided to have many Beers Tomorrow AND BUY a NEW Computer.

     

    ive just ordered the computer Online.

     

    Im a greedy Bassa…

     

    LOL

     

    HH.

  9. Turkeybhoy on

    Last night,I thought we were very good 1st half.Poor 15 minutes of 2nd half,caused by a bout of sloppy,misplaced passes,taking wrong option.Last 20 mins,back to very good.

     

    Terrific performance considering.

     

    Haksa is going to be a brilliant addition.

     

    No idea who will drop out to let the new guy play.He is a unit.Should defend set pieces better.Seismic change in tactics for Ange.We will see.

    Big Jimmy – Great song. Loved the Gambler and Coward of the County too :)

     

     

     

     

     

     

    “She’s leaving now ’cause

     

     

     

     

    I just heard the slamming of the door

     

     

     

     

    The way I know I’ve heard it slam 100 times before

     

     

     

     

    And if I could move I’d get my gun

     

     

     

     

    And put her in the ground

     

     

     

     

     

     

    Oh, Ruby

     

     

     

     

    Don’t take your love to town

     

     

     

     

    Oh, Ruby, for God’s sake, turn around”

     

    ……………..

     

    I am NOT really a Fan of Country and Western music, although I enjoy SOME C&W songs.

     

    Heres a question for you DENIABHOY and maybe some others on here…

     

     

    ” What do you get when you play a Country and Western song…BACKWARDS ” ?

     

     

    ” You get your hoose back, you get your wife back, you get your weans back, you get your Job back, and you get your Dug back” !

     

     

    LOL

    Suppose we better wait and see who comes in and out through the window, anything can happen in the next 12 hours

  12. Turkeybhoy on

    Ross County goal.No ones fault.Guy,3 inches taller than a Caber,gets a run and wins a header.Shocked,naw.

     

    Criticize the clueless pundits for yapping on about most of our goals being mistakes,then do it ourselves when we lose one.

  14. celtic40me on

    BOURNESOUPRECIPE on 1ST SEPTEMBER 2022 11:33 AM

     

     

    Indeed, and in the January window, which could have a huge impact on the title race.

     

     

    If the Huns dont buy anyone today then I can’t see them not trying something in January if the league is close.

  15. DeniaBhoy on

    The guy winning the header was one thing, the fact that there appeared to be two RC players, unmarked and waiting for it on the 6-yard line, was more of a concern. I thought they were offside to be fair, not sure who played them on as there didn’t seem to be any protest from us.

     

     

    Ross County could have had a goal in the first few minutes when they were right up for it, we then went up the park and hit the bar and then again a few minutes later and took control of the game from there.

     

    As an aside, I thought Siegrist looked a more than capable back up to Hart.

    TURKEYBHOY on 1ST SEPTEMBER 2022 11:26 AM

     

     

    We seem to consciously slow the game down after half time a lot. It could be that we’re countering the extra energy the opposition get after half time but I think we’re pacing ourselves to be able to go hard for the final 20 minutes.

     

     

    But I think everything we do is down to Ange’s genius :)

  18. Greenpinata on

    My friends in Celtic,

     

     

    9 changes in the starting line up and yet another professional job.

     

    You can just see the difference to our whole squad. Ange is the man.

     

    However I think he is benefiting enormously with his own man beside him. A confidant and first team coach. Harry Kewell.

     

     

    HH, the journey continues.

  19. Turkeybhoy on

    Deniabhoy,

     

     

    It happens,guys lose their man for a second,the header could have gone behind the scorer,its football.As long as it’s not happening regularly,I don’t see the immediate need to start analysing.

  20. glendalystonsils on

    It looked to me like Jenz was marking the scorer when the ball was punted in but maybe wasn’t prepared for the headed flick on . He turned his back on his man and seemed a bit unsure about what to do which gave the scorer the time and space to score unhindered .

     

    Having said that , the scorer could have been offside .

  21. Turkeybhoy on

    Celtic 40 me,

     

    To me it did not seem that way.We lost focus.Passing from the back was haphazard,sloppy,gave County a bit of belief,hence the goal.Once they got it back,the football flowed again.

     

    Probably to be expected withe amount of changes.

     

    Not really complaining.

  24. bournesouprecipe on

    RC goal looked miles off watching it live PremierSport either don’t have, or didn’t show in line camera angle.

  25. Turkeybhoy on

    The new guy ,like Ajer,only he can jump.A load of yellows and a few Reds.

     

    Watching him on You Tube.Seems always to be in the right place,a bit ungainly, ,but has scored,and 6 assists.

     

    As I said,massive shift for Ange,tactics wise.Will he go 3 at the back when big Ollie plays?.

  26. celtic40me on

    TURKEYBHOY on 1ST SEPTEMBER 2022 12:02 PM

     

     

    I think a lot of it comes down to RC pressing better and with more energy after the break. We weren’t at our fluent best for a while but their goal came from a long punt from the keeper and they only had one other genuine attempt the whole game.
