  1. The main difference today, other than the obvious that we took more of our chances, was McGregor as the deep lying midfielder rather than Brown. He moves the ball a lot quicker and looks to move it forward more often. There are games, today being an example, where we should look to start games without the captain as he slows us down and hits too many sideways or backward passes. Brown is crucial for the bigger games domestically, and especially in Europe, but sometimes he can be left on the sidelines and we will benefit.

  2. So there is life for Celtic without Broon y. James Forest a different class. Important win and a climb nearer the top of the table.

    He hasn’t been as bad as some are making out, neither has Hendry, some of the stuff we have seen from say KT has been lets say, not up to his usual, the Celtic support arny happy unless they are bitching about something :-)

  4. Thank God, James zforrest read my post the other day ?

     

    I am James biggest critic, play like that and I’ll change my mind James

     

    Very well done today

     

    Incidentally also great to see Tom Rogic back, 5 goals his passes were influential in

     

     

    Now, I hope at least half of the Celtic players planned for international duty pull out.

     

     

    Hail Hail

  5. Had a meal at the No 7 restaurant last night, lovely!

     

     

    Did the Stadium Tour this morning, fantastic and emotional!

     

     

    Watched the game this afternoon, feckin magic!

     

     

    Mother in law coming for dinner, so almost a Carlserg weekend!

     

     

    C’MON THE CELTS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    Well done Brendan and the Bhoys a good away win however, it does not mean we have shed our problems St.Johnstone are no RB Saltzburg. The good thing is we have now some free time to get Broonie back fit.We need to keep our league progress going .H.H.

  7. weve got jimmy jimmy forrest on the wing on the wing.nostalgia.com well done james forrest.hh.

  8. Watched the first half. Brilliant. Just read page one on here then page 9. Incredible, is madmitch still on? Think you owe ME an apology.

  9. Another point

     

    I heard the commentator state, this would be Celtic first away win in league this season

     

    So we now have one

     

    What about all those other challengers ? Has that been mentioned ???

  10. TET-you’re probably right mate,but if nobody moaned it would turn into the Celtic View:-))

  11. Talk about spin!

     

     

    BT said James scored a hattrick in 38 minutes.

     

     

    Drivel!

     

     

    He scored his first 3 goals in 23 minutes……………….but he scored the last 3 in 15!!!!!!

     

     

    Hurting, hurting huns!!!

  12. Brendan Rodgers decided he’d contributed to the loss at Rugby Park by making too many changes after a Thursday night game, so kept faith in most who’d disappointed in Salzburg. The back four now including Benkovic for Jack Hendry were never remotely tested, after the first few minutes.

     

     

    Tommy Wright got his courage from SMSM? and his ‘more open’ game had already lost 5 against Barcelona at Ibrokes. and were set upon as James Forrest ran amok in a blistering Celtic team display, safely back in our own league.

     

     

    Rogic and MacGregor dovetailed again, and Olivier Ntcham completed the total dominance in midfield that did not miss injured Scott Brown one iota.

     

     

    Celtic blew away St. Johnstone and ‘the dressing room split’ with a great attacking show that will go down in memory for Celtic fans as ‘ The James Forrest Game’

     

     

    Celtic v Hibs both refreshed after 6-0 victories ( how often does that happen? ) will be a sellout worth waiting for at Celtic Park.

    I didn’t say that. I said same formation and same tactics but a different tempo.

     

     

    The individuals can change through rotation or injury but the same basic shape and plan is one that woks. Today’s tempo is how it should be played. We have the squad to win the league ahead of anyone else if we stick to that template.

  14. Delaney’s ?

     

    Be good to have a pint at some point – get Arlene out of our system :-)

  15. The Bhoys are back in town.

     

     

    Wee Jamesie outstanding, Rogic not far behind

     

     

    Could have been ten easily

    We have by far the best manager and best fitba players in Scotland by miles. Today they earned their huge wages. They need to turn up and earn their corn every match. Today was magical. Loved it

  17. ?-sorry mate,didn’t say you said that .I was trying to ask you if we keep this 14 together and at least this tempo will that be the answer ?Big difference today

  18. Delaneys Dunky on

    Aye definitely pal. Especially since you probably know my relatives in Kilchattan and Rothesay.

  19. On BT Sports Sutton’s put down for the Huns was brilliant. The league leaders are in trouble at Ibrox says the commentator. Sutton says “That’ll be them in the top half of the table!”

     

     

    “Bit of work to catch up with Livingston” was also a belter

  20. I thot that the referee didn’t have too bad a game today, better than the usual, still missed a fair few things right enough but could have been a lot worse.

    The Maestro is number 3 in my favourites behind Danny and Henke.

     

    Tom creeping up with KT and Broony as my favourite ever Celtic player list.

  22. What a difference a goal or two makes. Ratio of goals to chances made still a bit low but if you are making more chances then goals will follow.

     

     

    Actually running past defenders instead of across them helps too.

    TET

     

    Didnae notice Clancy till red card.

     

    He reffed it fair today. First fair official in Scotland this season. Sad innit.

  24. Was over in Daughters today and missed game so taped sportscene,then I remembered our

     

     

    lymmbhoy & Bonfigli on The Huddleboard :))))))))))))))))

     

     

    So don’t need to listen to BBC tripe.

     

    Well done to Brendan and his Bhoys today delighted for them and our travelling support.

    Tom Rogic precision passes helped today. Genius on a plate pass 5 times for goal creation. Wunderbar

  26. You know Celtic are right up for rammin’ a message right up where the doubters’ mammies have never kissed them when he wears his favourite “Malcolm…Malcolm…. pit yer scarf on” Duffle coat.

     

     

    Hail hail
