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.

Heard a rumour some people come on here to talk Celtic. Apparently annoyed at the media talking about zombies. Think the media are obsessed.

Yer secrets are safe wi me,bud. It’s the folk I tell you have to worry about!
Brentford’s relative success last season was based on their midfield – Judge, Pritchard, Jota, Douglas and Dallas were as good as anything else in the English Championship.
Pritchard and Jota in particular were exceptional talents in that division.
I reckon that Warburton is probably a bit stuffed at Sevco without a half decent playmaker – they will be despearate to unsettle and sign Allen.
Hibs should just tell them to gtf in my opinion.
Sipsini looking forward to catching up mate hopefully before Dublin ffs. Bmcuw say applies M be good to make yer 10/10 hoot. Some good deals on there just now.

Some other posters on here took umbrage with that.
Damned if you do damned if you don’t.

Petrie is a cool negotiator … Imo £1m to allow a star player to move to rivals …
He will love this exposure to generate interest in a star asset about to walk for next to nothing next season …
Are you watching England
the glorious balance sheet

Cheers, equally formidable opposition. We don’t get an easy run, do we? But at the same time, only a team that beats such opposition could hope to navigate the CL group stages.
west end of east end…
My dad just phoned to say it was on. I wonder how much WHam have spent.
Good programme on bbc 2 @10.30 about reimbursing the slave traders when slavery was abolished in Britain.
Supposedly the a bigger bail out than the bankers got.
Think ming developed ‘cold feet’ when he sat down with his 3 bares and gradually discovered all the hidden shoite…..now trying to squiggle his way out…….how good is all this…….
Hibstalk on twitter saying allen hasnt said he wants to join sevco, stv speculation they say..Suprise Suprise..

I think we are shaping up ok.
Next qualifier will be tricky.
We will need to be firing on all cylinders.
RD will get the job done.
Of that I’m sure.
The Bhoy is gonnae be a legend.
Of that I’m sure
Hail Hail
Good to Trnava equalise away to Linfield – negates Linfield’s away goal.

It will have TAXED his pea-brain …… The duped have been duped again….. How dupable is THAT …. HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
Lennybhoy,
I didn’t know much about Scott Allen, save for him being arguably Hibs’ best player.
I didn’t know his background or allegiances.
However, I looked forward to watching him dismantling TRFC in the play offs.
It didn’t happen. It didn’t happen to the extent that I had the thought that the boy wasn’t trying…..he had already downed tools.
I have said it quite a few times in here.
I wish Mike Ashley had no link whatsoever to Sevco.

1-2
:)
Our love was on the wing, we had dreams, and songs to sing
As they headed towards administration and then liquidation I spent a fair bit of time in the company of James Forrest. We discussed the likely outcomes and pretty much called it right excluding the new club myth being sold and bought by the gullible.
Both of us reckoned they’d be back as a new club and we would have to face that down.
They have made a complete mess of their re-incarnation to such an extent that another corporate failure would this time in all probability mean the end of any sort of Rangers.
They may not survive the season. They may survive the season and gain promotion and still despite this fail. However if they get to the end of the season and don’t get up then that will be that.
They can have no faith in their own abilities rethe play off route – so they must win the league. That’s why they seek to weaken Hibs and we should have an interest in strengthening Hibs.
Celtic’s interest in getting them back is over estimated.
2-2 I meant ..
Well done the sheep .. We would be delighted with that.

Apparently they shelled out £280k and £425k for the duo from Wigan.
Meanwhile that poor face painter has probably had to sell of her face painting gear to pay her leccy bill.
May they rot in hell. Oh, and their media acolytes too.

No problem my friend.

Quite so
