Special players in form at the right time

160

It’s not that I had genuine concerns going into the game, but the early goal from Callum McGregor was a huge relief.  It allowed Celtic to subjugate Aberdeen without getting anywhere near top gear.  I doubt anyone exerted themselves, so we should hit the weekend at full throttle.

I remember first tentatively linking Reo Hatate with Lubomir Moravcik.  What a burden on the player and an invitation to mock from every Celtic fan who remembers Lubo.  We all thought the same as we left Celtic Park on Saturday.  Reo’s second goal was gallus Lubo at his best.  Perhaps the only difference, is the sprint Reo put in after nutmegging his opponent to get into the box; Lubo was more of a magician who leaned back to admire his work.

We have some special players in form at the right time.

    My god, that Stuart Dougal fellow has a great face for radio but please keep him off our screens, children are awake at that time…

  8. Much as I love St Martin, as a solicitor he should know the importance of words……………..

     

     

    “They’re trying to end Celtic’s control of Scottish football the minute. Ange Postecoglou has done fantastically well. How could you not miss this? The Old Firm games are simply in another planet and Celtic Park on a European night is a different stratosphere.”

  9. Prestonpans bhoys on

    I know it’s a contradiction in terms but the DR has a good piece on the teams that played in the final three years ago.

     

     

    Only two are left from our starting 11 that’s Forrest and McGregor whereas only Aribo has left that mob.

  10. WBC- remember that clown was wheeled out by the BBC about 3 nights in a row,after the Juventus game a couple of years ago,he says now Fat Charlie’s was a penalty ,and wants more similar decisions. Embdae would think the BBC and Scottish referees would want the Scottish teams to go through in Europe? Only in this country……..

  11. Good to hear that Chris Sutton will be on pundit duty for Viaplay on Sunday.

     

     

    Good to see that CQN is more upbeat and confident today after yesterday’s depressing output.

     

     

    Bring on the Rangers.

  12. PRESTONPANS BHOYS

     

     

    Good to see the scoreboard was fixed on Saturday.

     

     

    What’s your thoights on moving the standing section to the Jock Stein lower?

  13. Celtic carry a goal scoring threat from back to front.

  14. Yorkbhoy………..Interesting , when Giovanni Van B was winning all before him in Europa and getting to the final, there was never a mention of him being headhunted by any EPL club by the Scottish press, to my knowledge.

  15. Prestonpans bhoys on

    Tom

     

     

    First thing I noticed was the scoreboard fixed when I came in. You would have thought that someone would have noticed before the game last week.

     

     

    As for the new standing area they would have to test the appetite for such an expanded area moreover the displacement of current ST’s.

     

     

    When they converted our area I lost my seat as it was to be a new partition area and got moved to the back of 110 but still in the new standing area.

     

     

    At 61 not overly bothered being in there, so if it’s converted back wouldn’t be bothered!!

  16. I assume the final on Sunday can only be streamed via a monthly/annual subscription with no PPV option?

    The run-it-by-daves(meeja)will never do anything to unsettle,undermine anything while they are in with a shout.

     

    Its masonicism with its rancid bias for their club,’tuped’ over from before liquidation.

     

    This history redacting lark is funny as.the amount of linkage to those preliquidation days(excluding petrofac cup).

     

    Attempting to undermine us,farting out the same old tropes,its like a badly run cia op,but you get a compliant bbc via their trust say it is the one club continuiously.all bout clicks and sales.They are at it all the time,best not buy,click but do laugh.lets go and pump them

    We all in JS lower got leaflets explaining the plan and advising that we would be surveyed by the club in the near future.

     

     

    I’m 70 in September and would not relish standing for 2 hours, so would be amenable to giving way for TheCelticEnd so long as I am relocated to another lower section.

     

     

    I think it’s a great idea in principle.

  19. something i never ever thought i wipould ever hear when growing up …………

     

     

    scotland has ran out of fresh salad

  20. MCPHAIL BHOY

     

     

    You can buy a monthly subscription to Viaplay and cancel it after the game. After cancelling, you would still have the month’s access which includes Hearts v Celtic on 11th March, so you’d be getting two games for your month subscription.

  21. i like the idea of all standing option in the new cletic end.

     

     

    this is well put together, i think the biggest challenghe will be the fancy seats from the js loungs.

     

     

    thats my opwn photie at 15 seconds btw.

    I suppose to some of the media in Scotland managing the team that plays at ibrox is the ultimate job
