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.

Union jack rioters await the TV breaking

It’s an “Open Mic” sesh for gemme hun turns………..
Shckerooni.
Live cam to George Square shows you exactly what Scotland needs to be free from…
Overtime for the rozzers in Glesga tonight.
Croppybhoy. You have hit the nail on the head fella. H.H.
Lord give me Strength.

Ernie has at no point been helping. He posts trite crap about former Celtic players who voted no. Just because someone is a great footballer does not mean that he is also a great political thinker. I’ll give you loads of examples if you like but I’m confident you don’t need that. Ernie is no better than a cheap point scoring troll. If he really cared about the political future of this country he would have, by now, desisted from snide shit stirring. Point taken?
the no voters on here must wonder what did they vote no for when they see the antics of their fellow no voters in george square
also those video clips should be a warning to anyone on this blog that wants rangers back

He could have been describing your posts.

Ernie always goes fishing. It’s what he does….
Disappointed with the outcome. More upset for Paddy and Louise, 2 of my children, who campaigned tiresly for yes. Both devastated today and believe me all the young folks I have
spoken to are bearing a grudge against the over 65s or as some
smart Alex posted earlier the grown ups.
West of Ireland
2 million people voted No
There are less than 100 in George Square
Grow up !
HH
12 hours after the official result, the Unionist Parties alliance in tatters (Milliband refusing to sign up, Cameron refusing to guarantee dates will be met, tory backbenchers in revolt).. Financial houses declare theirs was a bluff and loyalists taken over George Square. Hell Mend Ye Scotland, as ma Faither would have said.

Apologies to you for my last post. Really don’t know why I’m sounding off to you.
Sincere apologies.
The huns in George Square are Scottish.
They live here.
They would still be here if it had been a yes vote.
They represent an ideology that’s pretty much confined to Scotland and the Ulster Scots.
So far as I know the nats have never intended to deport or exterminate huns.
Huns are a Scottish issue.
cropoybhoy- aye the alternative of staying with union was what exactly?
Austerity and foodbanks ffs..
They only ‘vowed’ more power when it looked bad for them.
A set of empty promises made up on the back of a fag packet, the power of the state used in media, big business…..
Already, the promise of these new powers are being eroded. On day 1.
You’ve been conned!

Great post mate !

I think he’d manage to make them funnier than yours.
It is hard to believe that philvis, if he chose to post under your name, could suppress for ever a tendency to be funny and facetious. I can’t imagine him being as boring and vindictive as you, even on a bad day.
they are british according to how they voted, not scottish
croppybhoy
A few more than 100 mate if you check the live cam..
Petec, ur vote counted as much as anyones.That is democracy.Im not trying to have a go, but it seems to me that far far too many people where too easily fooled and really believed westminster when they told us “you couldnt run your own affairs”….ashamed.
WHO ARE YOU SCOTLAND??..
petec – Geezo Pete! I never guessed you were an East 17 fan…
I prefer Boyzone myself. (thumbsup)

Why would they hold a grudge against people who have done everything to help this country be as good as it can be.
The Self society is hardwired now if that it is the attitude.
Geoege Square?
Where’s that?
anyway…..
This is what we need to raise the roof at home games………???

I pointed out to the accuser that – there has

Take care – I have to leave now, bye.
Grow up. Lol.
No voters that’s your mates that is.
The clips from George Sq show a group of people whose lack self awareness ,and insignificance, is well known to everyone on this blog. Any opportunity for “look at me” behaviour cannot be passed up.
2m people in this country voted No yesterday. The proportion of those who identify with the George Sq mob is tiny.
The polis seem to be doing a remarkable job of defending a statue! wtf.
TLWIO
lmao
Celtic fans are now using tiny minority

In ten years time, all the scared pensioners who voted no will be in their nursing homes even more scared asking why the young have disowned them. This will be the youths revenge. The golden generation were asked to vote with the youth but I’m led to believe 73% voted no. The youth are hurting today.
Doctor Whatfor
Lol. I knew exactly where you were coming from. No apology needed.
ANYONE in the slightest bit suprised at this tonight ?
It’s what they do
Been a very depressing day, only chink of light was a decent Euro result last night and the prospect of Paradise on Sunday.
See the Unionist/Loyalist supporters behaving to type.
God help us .

Another Scottish insult. If you think huns are solely a Scottish issue, you’ve never been to a Chelsea, or Millwall game.
Scum causing trouble in George Square.
