    SPFL,

     

    Every team bar Celtic have to have Kilmarnock’s pitch installed or try selling that? Poor JF will be all over cyber space, F’N nonsense…..

  2. Cowiebhoy on

    Thought young Keiran Tierney at 17, done very well for his full debut

     

     

    One thing I noticed, when he went off and Izzy came on, the huge gap in our left back slot ? As Izzy plays further forward

     

     

    Also thought it was good to see Charlie Mulgrew back in centre of Defence, he was Scotland’s player of the year playing there 2 seasons ago

     

    Think we may be needing him in there next season

     

     

    That’s Why We’re Champions :-)

    Good performance by us ,considering the number of changes in the side and had the chances been taken it would be the routine win, which won the league.

     

     

    Funnily, St Johnstone played an Inverness game which underlines why Celtic have beaten Aberdeen four times this season, and the three points weren’t secured in the end due to a lack if finish. The James Forrest haters will be lining up, but watch the bobble, before Celtic’s youth produce hits wide, after a superior take, which should have taken the points.

     

     

    Don’t think two wide wingers works anymore, and it’s GMS or JF, at once for me, if you want to grind out the tree points.

     

     

    Dead rubber, good point.

     

     

    Congrats to the super Celtic away support, and looking forward to Sunday’s celebrations.

    Ma good lady kept saying why does it matter, you’ve won the league, I just love watching Celtic, I jump about like an eijit the matter how important a game is, too me Celtic games are important in a football basis it’s the only games that I am interested in

    Mike in Toronto..I Would Guess if we aint seeing young players..Well Its Because they aint good enough, if we had a Mcgeady we would have seen him by now..Looks obvs to me..Just Saying…

    Mike

     

     

    I was just going to agree with yours as well :-)

     

     

    It works for the likes of Barca and Bayern, why not us, tis a simple game at the end of the day, and if the truth be told, footballers in the main need things to be kept simple for them.

     

    With a few exceptions of course !!!

    Paul67 don’t be appying for the manager job once Ronny leaves ;o)

     

     

    Seriously, the game highlights why blooding new/fringe players once the season is over doesn’t work. You have to be brave and throw them in when the game matters (i.e. Maloney against the huns)

  10. latchford on

    Snecker,

     

     

    Armstrong was poor tonight and didn’t look fit, walking back in the 2nd half.

     

     

    Armstrong does not have the intensity of Johansen who we missed badly tonight and he will not displace Bitton.

     

     

    Unless Armstrong seriously ups his game he will be a bit player next season for Celtic. He was pretty anonymous tonight , taking his frustration out on the referee on a couple of occasions.

  11. Harry Boe on

    Let’s give some credit to St.Johnstone. They are playing for a European place and gave everything tonight.

     

     

    Anyway, I’m all set for Party Sunday:-

     

     

    “Come on over to my place

     

    Hey, girl, we’re having a party

     

    We’ll be swinging, dancing and singing

     

    Baby, come on over tonight”

  13. martybhoy59 on

    Good entertainment really can’t believe some of the criticism directed at the team. St Johnstone had something to play for result meant nothing to us.

  14. GerryBhoy on

    Yep, it bobbled just before JF hit it. That is our problem in Scotland; terrible pitches, even at this time of year. They contribute to poor, blootering,agricultural, hammer throwing fitba. No wonder players don’t want to play here.

  15. RWE on

    Different role for Stuart Armstrong and he didn’t bottle it at all. Worked his tail off.

     

     

    We had similar comments made about Stefan Johansen when Ronny was still tweaking the formation. He looked ordinary, waste of money, etc

     

     

    We can’t blood players playing in new positions, play returning from injury players and young guys and yet demand or even expect that it will work as well as the first choice team.

     

     

    If only….and ah but….

     

     

    Zaluska and the wood work prevented a defeat.

     

     

    Forrest should have scored.

     

     

    Poor playing surface means bobbly fiba – which is what we got.

     

     

    Nice to see Charlie back playing but a replacement CB partnership is a priority.

     

     

    Ronny will have learned a few things tonight.

    Breaking news………….

     

     

    Climate scientists are baffled today due to a temporary global increase in local temperatures that seem to hav bucked the local trends……

     

     

    M Mouser, of the World Environmental Study Forum said ” we don’t really understand what happened…..over a limited time, all readings went haywire ” this was backed up by the spokesman for the Global Temperature Monitoring System who said ” there seems to have been a very localised extreme heat anomaly somewhere in the Northern Hemisphere ”

     

     

    To date there has been no indication as to what has caused this…………..but a secret source on CQN said, with a shrug of the shoulders…….” it was probably Jamesgangs riddy earlier this week, it was atomic…..I saw it from the Faroe Isles ”

    BGX. I think you make a very good point fella.We need to improve our first team squad but if the youngsters are not ready for the first team we need to bring in new players. H.H.

  22. Turkeybhoy on

    Terrific entertainment,from both teams.Cant be annoyed with the whingers on here.

     

    Broony terrific again.Forrest played very well.Zaluska,brilliant.No idea why Armstrong getting some stick.Played OK.

     

    Just a wee thought.Without VVD,Jason looked a bit suspect.Maybe still a bit to learn.Efe played OK,but he still cannot jump.Bless him.

     

    Once again the surface played its part.On a good surface this could have been game of the season.

  24. BGX on

    Now all The Doomsayers can Tune in on Sunday..Watching The huns and Praying For an ” I told You So” moment…Me..well i”ll be Hoping They Get , whats the word, Fked..Champions Of Our Country…Funkin For Jamaica…

    keep saying it pal and you will get an answer.

  29. Cosy Corner Bhoy on

    Thought that all things considered we we could possibly stolen a win, but that would be disrespectful to a team that gave everything. We did learn a few things in the wee boy at left back could be a player, GMS and SA now know what it is like to play for Celtic ie every team wants to beat us even when it means nothing. Playing for Glasgow Celtic must be the hardest job in the world! Roll on ICT. Still be here in Spain unfortunately.

    Young players need confidence …. they get that by winning … the senior players have a duty to the young players to support them, and bring them on … and winning games as a youngster breeds confidence … winning begets more winning ….

     

     

    and even if we only started 5 senior players -given how much our players get paid versus their opponents – they should be able to do that against most SPL teams …

     

     

    Perhaps I expect too much …

     

     

    On that note

     

     

    I have gone the season now…. and tonight demonstrates to me a few key points …

     

     

    SB is valuable in CL games, for his energy, and his ability to stop good teams from playing … . but he doesn’t have the ball skills or football IQ to play in the middle … NB’s absence was telling tonight.

     

     

    In some areas, RD has brought the team forward tremendously this season …. fitness, work rate, closing down earlier when we lose the ball…. all things that have improved tremendously this season….

     

     

    but we are still weak (better than we were, but still weak) when we win the ball…. breaking forward, as TET suggested, there is no system … players dont know where to go …. as soon as we win the ball, players should be making runs into space, and the ball winner should know (almost without looking) where someone will be …but that isn’t happening …. this needs serious work, if we are to progress to the CL next season …

     

     

    NB is key to this… he can spot a pass … others need to up their game in this respect … including the coaches ..

  31. Harry Boe on

    A number of good, balanced post-match summaries.

     

     

    Signing off before the doom & gloom brigade get on.

     

     

    Roll on Championee Sunday.

  33. Philbhoy on

    Agree with you.

     

     

    St Johnstone had something to play for tonight and Celtic did’nt.

     

     

    What’s the f**king point of it all then?

     

     

    We were poor tonight.

     

     

    Couldn’t pass the ball, poor service to Griffiths, why did we bring on Scepovic?

     

     

    Was service to our forwards going to err, get better?

     

     

    I hope we don’t get a team as good as St Johnstone in our n our CL qualifiers.

     

     

    Or we’ll be f****ed.

     

     

    St Johnstone, a team full of household names who were better than us.

     

     

    Bring on the Rangers.

  34. tonydonnelly67 on

    Prob. As good a game as I’ve seen for a while in the spfl, entertaining and chances at both ends for both teams, if the teams played like that every time they played us they would learn more, but they don’t, so all we need to do is go for the shut out record and I think we can get it, other thing is if they play like that when we are at full strength, be a different story, so never gonny happen, and the league will stay as it is, with no challenge, or vision, poor coaching and safe jobs in this country, makes it a haven for X Rangers players to coach,I’ve awe ways said that, hail hail. A certain team are on their 3rd coach as we speak.

  35. Cowiebhoy on

    Appears we are busy building for new season, Boyata and now this ?

     

     

     

    Dutch giants Feyenoord are ready to rival Celtic for the signature of Willem II left-back Mitchell Dijks.

     

     

    The young defender, who only joined Willem II from Ajax last summer, has impressed with his assured displays in the club’s defence throughout the current campaign.

     

     

    Ronny Deila’s Celtic have taken a keen interest in Dijks and are looking to take him to Scotland in the summer, eyeing grabbing another bargain from the Netherlands along the lines of defender Virgil van Dijk.

     

     

    However, the Scottish champions look likely to face stern opposition from Feyenoord

     

     

    According to Dutch outlet Soccer News, Feyenoord are set to launch a big push to take Dijks to De Kuip

     

    Just 22 years old, Dijks was schooled in the youth ranks at Ajax before being shipped off on loan to Heerenveen for the 2013/14 campaign.

     

     

    Last summer he put pen to paper on a two-year contract with Willem II

     

     

    Hail Hail

  36. Tom McLaughlin on

    Please for God’s sake. Will anyone believe what I have been telling CQN for a year?

     

     

    Our finishing is appalling and has now moved on to embarrassing.

     

     

    Sort it Ronny.

  37. Parkheadcumsalford on

    Even with a makey uppy team we could have won. I’m happy the manager put out the team he did.

     

     

    We were playing against an MIB who made sure there wasn’t a level playing field, as far as the laws’ interpretation was concerned; we were playing on a pitch which ensured that there wasn’t a level playing field. (The SPFL should insist on proper pitches as a sine qua non for playing in the Premier League.) We were playing against a team who still had more to play for than ourselves.

     

     

    So, why get upset?

     

     

    Champions once again.

  38. Philbhoy on

    Tom

     

     

    Our passing is awful!

     

     

    AWFUL!!!!!!!

     

     

    If we could pass the ball we would look like a great side………………as long as we could finish.

  40. BGX on

    Mike in Toronto Yes Mate..Young Players Do Need Support..But First of,they Gotta be Good Enough To Get in the First Team, Unless RD and his Crew are wrong…None of the Young Guys Are..seems obvs too me..What We Need Is A Striker who can play the lone role RD favours,.Lewandowski or Benzema would do..Laughing..
