It’s difficult to say for sure if Stjarnan are the worst team I’ve seen Celtic play but they are there or there about. They defended resolutely, have a good goalkeeper and scored a fine goal, but they are no Arbroath.
Ronny will be annoyed at the loss of the early goal. I always think of San Marino’s opening goal against England on these occasions. This was back in the 90s, when San Marino weren’t the team they are now (cough). England took kick off but found themselves a goal down after 7 seconds. They lost a sloppy goal because they were far too complacent, as did Celtic last night.
One thing which will be clear to all is the focus on goal Leigh Griffiths brought when he came on. It will be tempting to contrast this to Nadir Ciftci, who looked (and was) less potent, but Leigh’s first sight of goal came as a result of Nadir’s work. I suspect both benefit from being able to play off a partner.
The passing looked better last night and it was good to see the lungs remained productive until late in the game. We now have a big week of preparation ahead of the next round.
Delighted to see the Celtic Foundation on the shirts last night, well done to all concerned. The Foundation should feature more prominently in everything we do (fans and club). And if you’ve got a pair of trainers, sign up for the Great Scottish Run.
Just caught news of Newco’s £175k bid for Scott Allan. Define overinvestment, to use local parlance.

Kojo was Blatant about being Selfish, I respect that.
This Auldheid guy is subtley saying it is ok to be SELFISH.
In a place of power, a great Mediator, a Great Influenza.
————–
The word selfish gets a bad rap in society. We have been brainwashed once again by “their” pedagogics that to be selfish is amoral.
If you study the word selfish, or more accurately self-ish as in Etymology you find that the ancient origin of the word meant- a healthy sense of self.
So the word began rooted with a practical, positive meaning and connotation.
Petec and canamalar I don’t know you bhoys at all, if you are just having a laugh private jokes and all forgive my interruption and have a good one. Slante.

If my day has been one that has made perfect sense and I’m feeling a sense of balance and harmony, I always have a look in here for the moonhowlers to add a wee bit of lunacy to proceedings.
:-)
San Diego Bhoy,
Aye ok, this site has extremely clever people on here, of that there isnae any doubt. I’m just a wan track kind of dude, I know very little, I think it would be highly improbable that 5% knew what you just wrote. So why, and Auldheid has went this route before, totally undermining the Fundamental tenets of Christianity and promoting Self.
I’m paranoid, nae doubt about that.
Speaking of lunacy- canny believe there was folk on here earlier moaning that 6-1 versus the Icelanders wasnae good enough.

I like people who are Brutally Honest.
petec-
Aye, I’m no Einstein either pal.
Just happy being my eejit self mostly.
Petec-
And I’m also just joking about the lunacy thing. I love all Tims so ah dae. I can rattle off talking mince with the best of them though.
San Diego Bhoy,
Ronny Deila was Certain he would get Celtic into the CL proper when me Delaneys D and my Son were listening to him as we made our way hame frae Edinburgh.
He Spoke the Truth.
I have nae concerns about the Azaerbaijanians. We have one of the Finest midfielders in Europe in Nir and excellent players around about him.
5-0 next week would be my prediction of Hope. It is likely to be 4-1 again.
San lol I am not sure about the balance and harmony bit, I am more ying and yang with life measured as the difference between the two, lower the low higher the high the more deep water to play in. Part time moon howler. Didn’t realise they were just havin a laugh,at me ; )
Petec I would happily take 1-0 at home and 0-0 away to the bee jeez at this time of the season. Substance over style until we get in the CL proper.
Petec-
Aye, trust in oor Roony I have. I’ve seen those suggest he is too rigid in his system. I disagree, I think we have seen plenty of variations just this season alone.
There is a certain age group, 2000’s and they, hopefully, will be all over the Celtic first team soon.
We are so very lucky to have what we have, ok the SNP, infant Police State, is a pest, but we really are so Lucky.

I know, I know.
That team have done a heck of a lot of travelling, we can nail them in the 2nd half.
I happen to think, we just started playing 2nd half.
We, IMO, will make the last 8 this season.
San na past the first half century and still wish I could walk into work wae a Mohawk. Once a moon howler. Anyway no idea why I am posting before I have had a drink. See ye later.
Ronny Deila,
it will always be a Logical Progression.
Neil, Gordon and Martin, it has all been excellent.
The Club is opTIMised.
The mair the Charity, the Mair the Growth.
Charity begins in the Seat you occupy when Supporting the Celtic Player.
Cannae wait for mair Standing.

I dinnae want Ronny to be too swayed by people. He has came here and he is the one selected, I like the way he wants everyone having input, I think his system is there until most of the First Team is from the Celtic School, then he will seamlessly switch systems/tactics even against the very best.
I’m a Believer
San if you are ever back this way. Haven’t been over your way yet , but I plan to. Hail hail.
Like it Petec. Classic.
Good morning CQN ………..

Been mostly lurking for last year or so.. More so while I’ve been in Spain this week. Great to see so many good posters still contributing interesting thought provoking points…. Disappointing to see some like myself taking a back step due to the inane non Celtic posts that appear to now be a dominant feature…

Ah hope those ball Bhoys were registered correctly !
TD67 brilliant, why wouldn’t you. Beach balls for Seville
001bhoy.
Wonderful story. A pleasant relief from some of the recent nightshift stuff.
My folks had a brilliant pointer, not sure what kind when I was inmy late teens and twenties. Toby. My favourite dug and up against some strong candidates.
Delighted Aberdeen are through even with a scare. They are up against the team that knocked out St J, who put up a decent fight but couldn’t score. the sheep have goals and could realistically get a group stage gig.
How good would it be to have two Scottish teams with euro interest up to Xmas at least? Obviously we would be in the CL.
Just off nightshift.
Dalwhiinie’s the boy
Fine morning in Elgin.

Cultsbhoy good to seeing you stepping back up. Scroll past and get to the good stuff. What do you think about the Ronny revolution ?
Good morning friends and a Big Happy Friday from a bright, broken clouded East KIlbride.
Any Aberdour based posters or lurkers for a local report from there? In the meantime here’s what the so called experts are predicting for today’s golfers – http://www.foreca.com/United_Kingdom/Aberdour?details=20150724

Where did you get the info re money Huns spent …seems quite a lot for them
They will have to pay a training fee to Hearts for Holt
Add the Allan money ….it’s much more than I thought they’d spend.
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
Hail Hail fella.
Yeah, I’ve been questioning for years as to ‘exactly’ where Celtic’s CL-transfer-fee-money all goes?
I’ve always found it strange how….Phil Mac can put up a blog about…it’ll no be long now till huns finally die…then….out of nowhere…a pile of money mysteriously appears?….aye!
O## F## PLC….imho.
Apologies. Speaking Raphael as usual. Sheep’lll face the team who beat the team who beat St J.
Bon chance to the gowfers in Fitfe today and OT, mind and take your medicine.

Ciftci just needs a goal – Ronny

If Allan has the potential that we think he has , and we are now a club that develops and sells on …… Why not,purchase Allan , develop, then sell on ……..HH

I’m sure you are fed up of whining about the magazine but on my iPad, when I use the link, it seems to work ok until I try to enlarge ( Ooooh err) the text for my tired eyes. That’s when it try’s to reload.
