I was a bit annoyed at BT’s halftime analysis which suggested Celtic were more than fortunate to be level at that stage. Salzburg had just enjoyed their best 15 minute period of the game, but, from beginning to end, Celtic’s performance was a textbook lesson on how to play away from home in Europe. We took our chances and drew our defensive line well in front of our box. This is how it’s done.
Were you as comfortable as I was during the final minutes last night?
Having watched the performance against Aberdeen on Saturday, when we bossed the game but were penned back when, with two debutants and a returning Scott Brown in the team, the legs faded in the last 30 minutes, I expected the same to happen last night.
Instead, Scott’s goal arrived on 60 minutes, which infused Celtic legs with adrenalin. This was the crucial moment of the game. We conceded that fabulous goal from Soriano during the final 30 minutes, but this was also our best period of the game. Wakaso (who is a player, b.t.w.) ran himself into the ground – literally. Brown, Johansen, Izaguirre and Ambrose all covered enormous areas of the pitch.
Instead of going through turmoil in the closing stages, we saw Salzburg drop deep, acknowledging the clear danger they could concede for a third time.
The one obvious question is, how did we pick Craig Gordon up for free?
Brand Britain
Brand Britain is damaged. Last night’s vote was a high water mark for independence, so far, but the demographic breakdown suggests support for change is strongest among the young. If the three major UK parties have any intention of maintaining the status quo they need to indulge in considerable Nation Building.
The football business in Britain is in the hands of two closed-shop cartels, one in England and Wales [controlled by the affluent], and one in Scotland [controlled by the unambitious]. This arrangement has disenfranchised Scottish football and drains our economy of tens of millions of pounds per year. It is a clear manifestation of second class status for Scotland and our economy, which is unacceptable for anyone who considers the UK to be one nation.
Politicians with an interest in pushing the buttons of the people, should use this time to call this arrangement out for what it is.

The Celtic Way
Who is my leader?
MWD said AYE
Corkcelt- so no one who voted no was called a green hun [and worse] on here?
The level of intolerance of those who have the audacity to have a different view of the World has sadly been Sevconian.
corkcelt – he was the bishop in “Father Ted”. Said “ye” a lot. (thumbsup)

Another “boost” for the poor will be the removal of Hardship. it is being replaced by loans.
Vote for Len:

It’s a glorious glorious day. Proud to be British. God save Our Queen. Thank you to all celtic fans who voted no. Scotland independant?? What would have been next? Northern Ireland? Catalunia? Better together. Britons never shall be slaves. HH
Croppybhoy bhoy – aye. And all those gains have been or are being rolled back in full view of the British TU movement. In fact a great many of its leaders and the Labour Party it founded has been complicit in that.
As for getting out and doing something to bring aboutbchange I can only speak for myself and I’ve been at that all of my working life.
You deserve a lie down for your efforts Croppie

I have duties to perform until 2pm- what time are you talking about?
Corkcelt. This site has been irredeemably poisoned for some time. It is the bourgeois equivalent of Follow Follow.

Good post. but Westminster are to blame for the barbarity and unfairness being doled out are they not?
Hahahahahahaha phil (thumbsup)

I think we have a few visitors who enjoy stirring it. Not sure that a few of them could even spell Celtic.
The Fudge is on. Miliband withdraws support to Cameron for more powers. Cameron tells Salmond the timetable for more power is ‘a meaningless process’.
Don’t blame me, I voted Yes.
Dontbrattbakkinanger, Victors can afford to be gracious, ye are dealing with fellow Scots. who are hurting badly. If I was a No man over in Scotland, I’d like to think I’d cut my opponents a bit of slack. Remember 45% is a huge proportion of the population, what is needed in Scotland now are wise heads to heal rifts and not smart arses to perpetuate division.

Unfortunately one of my friends has been taken into hospital down in Gods country so will not be in Glasgow tomorrow. Edinburgh in the evening.

Theboywhois…
I judge people by what they do
The SNP are the people who brought us a National Police force, a National Fire service etc
They are the people who brought us the OB act – ” to even things up”
This has now been used in conjunction with the National Police force to spy on, harass, arrest and put through the courts the members of a group of football fans -football fan for God’s sake! We ‘re not talking about terrorist here !
As I said earlier they govern by bullying people who speak out against their policies
They ran a campaign which sought to make the English a scapegoat for all Scotland’s problems
They accused the government of conspiring against them by getting big business to speak against their ludicrous economic pie in the sky ideas
They then promised a “day of reckoning” for businesses that dared to speak against their ideas – they even used the term “boycott”
These are all traits worthy of the term nationalist socialist in my eyes!
They even promoted the cult of the leader FFS!
And of course the history of the SNP reveals plenty of other right wing tendencies!

celtic fans, the glorious orange order, bnp, democratic unionists, better together for great britain and the empire. no surrender. god save our queen. –
Thank you! You forgot The Labour Party, George Galloway, and Bob Geldof though. (thumbsup)
Ach what’s the use?
Get trolls, racists and schizophrenic’s on to rip the p##s out of celtic and yourselves……it seems that is the preferred option.
No wonder people do not post.
Is it possible Johann Lamont the most ungracious politician ever known?
Enjoyed the debate lads. Keep the head. Think before posting and for gods sake don’t get personal or too easy offended.
No voters – we all reap what you’ve sown. Keep blowing. It’s grist to the mill.
Yes voters – heads up. The right path is never easy.
I’m Len brennan
SCOTLAND has been politicized

jackie mac – I’m Len Brennan, and so is my son in America. (thumbsup)
very disappointed today
thought scotland would have the courage to vote for independence
while the result has to be accepted
its the democratic wish of the people
the fact that so many celtic fans many of an irish background members of this blog voted no leaves a bitter taste in the mouth for me personally

Surely the Scottish Parliament building should be moved to an area that wants it and could be doing with the employment and tourist finance it brings with it.

Bankiebhoy, hopefully we’ll be seeing more of David Cameron or whisper it, Boris Johnson. HH
Petec – yes the Green Party – total scumbags. Hopefully we will never see their marxism ever again. HH
