I was surprised Ronny Deila thought immediately after the game that Dedryck Boyata’s red card was valid, from the angle behind the goal it looked a well-time tackle, but let’s deal with the manager’s complaint against the player, who put a challenge in when wrong side of the attacker.
We’ve see three Celtic central defenders in this position in recent weeks: Efe against Ross County, Erik against Inverness and Dedryck last night. Erik was outpaced by Jordan Roberts but instead of risking a challenge from behind his opponent, he stayed on his feet and forced Roberts to shoot under pressure. Efe clumsily barged into his opponent and Dedryck went to ground.
All three got their starting positions wrong, which could have cost a goal, but Ambrose and Boyata compounded the problem by attempting a recovery, also from a wrong position. Sviatchenko chose to put pressure on the player and leave matters up to his goalkeeper. Erik made the right decision, Efe and Dedryck made wrong decisions.
And before Erik relaxes in the glow of praise, it was his unnecessary barge into an opponent which conceded the foul which led to the corner kick Accies equalised through. Don’t give away stupid fouls and you don’t allow opponents to fire the ball into your box.
And yes, the goal we lost came from a corner kick (I’m assuming those who were animated earlier in the season about zonal marking somehow overlook the same lack of ball-winning skills from the same players now we’re marking man-for-man). I’ve never known a team to lose so many goals from corners. We have a collection of players who cannot follow the flight of a football when launched into their box from a corner.
I know there’s a belief that you cannot practice penalty kicks, as the pressure of hitting them during a match changes everything. This is nonsense. Our poor penalty conversion rate over the last five or six years has cost us trophies. Ironically, John Collins has the best penalty conversion rate of any player in Celtic history (who’s taken more than 5). You would think he’d be able to sort this.
Poor technique is a consequence of poor preparation.
When Leigh Griffiths opened the scoring from the penalty spot it came as a great relief, as until then we were unable to create a genuine chance. A big part of the job at Celtic is breaking down packed defences away from home. There are largely two ways to achieve this:
1. Master the act of quick and precise passing
2. Have target men and wide players who are excellent at crossing the ball.
If we don’t have either play in our locker we’re going to drop a lot of points.

The olive branch is not good enough for you?
Grow up!
Morning,all.
In just short of two weeks,13 March,it will be ten years since Wee Jimmy left us to enthrall the Gods and the Angels as he enthralled us for years.
There are plenty of clips and stories of him so hopefully we can use that time to post a few here.
This one is a work of fiction-or is it?

Apologies mate, I didn’t appreciate that you were only joking.

Thanks for your reply. If I get the chance tonight I’ll get back to you.

I have one, possibly two, spares for you if you need them.
Good morning friends and Happy Leap Year Day from a dry, just above freezing, grey and ominousy black-cloudy East Kilbride.
For some on here.
Everywhere they look there are problems.
It may take them some time to realise the problem is their eyes.

Good man. I’ll be in the usual place…
The maturity and respect in debates is what keeps me here. Well done lads. Quality once again.
Frankie knuckles was a dj and producer who gave the world some of the most important moments in dance music, maybe even music.
I collected his releases as a producer and a remixer for many years, some of the most beautiful and emotionally rich pieces you’ll hear in a genre not known for its depth. He was a truly legendary dj.
When he died i genuinely shed a tear.
It jarred a bit to come on this morning and to see his name being used like that, but I guess it was s nickname and that wasn’t the intention
CELTIC40ME
From what I know of CLUNKS,he too is a fan. I doubt he meant to be disparaging.
Looking back at the posts during the night this comes to mind.

Who’s keeping Frankie Knuckles oot the team ?
Why do Celts play in hi-viz away strips ?
Aberdeen will win the league – through mibbery – coz, Ronny has been told to send out the message that, ‘no’ fight will be made against the refs, no matter how horrible the decision.
SCSF last season – took it on the chin even though, I think that Ronny’s decisions on the day were actionable, leaving the invisible Commons on the pitch for as long as he did, not booting CG’s erse for for his ‘shabby’ sending off, his subs ? Tonev ? Wtf ?
LCSF this season – Shambles….outfoxed / outfought by Jim McIntyre Ar La, Mibbery….nuthin to say about it ?
Looks like the new – take it on the chin whilst, the board will look the other way…imho
Don’t be surprised to see an ‘arranged’ SC tie this season v’s Warburton’s mibbery-assisted-huns, with us going out without as much as a whimper.

Morning Bhoys I had never heard of Frankie Knuckles but I sure have now. H.H.
Looks like Tom Rogic is next for the Exit
Just as he was starting to become a regular as well
http://readceltic.com/2016/02/29/rogic-set-to-leave-as-contract-talks-stall/
Logged on and scrolled back, am still shaking my head at the pure unadulterated nonsense, even lurking hurts now.
We’re All off Of to Dublin in the Green in the Green :)
http://www.aicsc.com/dublin-hootenanny-2016/
If Tom Rogic wants to leave. I wouldn’t be standing in his way,he can offer something coming off the bench but seems unable to last a full 90minutes.We have far too many midfielders therefore any decent offer should be accepted.
What happened to the Wee Jamesie transfer money?
This:
” Talks between Tom Rogic and Celtic over a new contract have stalled as he looks set to opt out of a new deal in favour of a move away from Glasgow.
The Aussie would become the second player in a week to reject a new deal following James Forrest’s decision to reject a new four-year deal.
He has been left of out the squad the last two games following first game against Ross County since his recovery from an ankle injury he sustained against Hamilton in January.
Rogic has only come into the Celtic team this season having struggled with injuries since his arrival in 2013 and going out on loan on two occasions to Australia.
Thigh and knee injuries have forced him to miss large parts of Celtic’s season and forced him to get an operation in September 2014.
Ian MacNicol/Getty Images Sport
His surge in form this season has seen him force his way back into the plans of the Australian national team.
The 23-year-old has made just 44 appearances for Celtic, 29 of which have come this season including five of his seven goals in the Hoops jersey.
Championship side Leeds United were reportedly interested in the creative midfielder last month and could be one of a number of clubs looking to lure him away from Paradise.”
