Of all the football nonsense, I hate scapegoating most. So Ryan, I’m sorry, but what on earth were you doing? We were 0-2 ahead and had created several other very good chances. Milan were nowhere, they had not mustered a cohesive attack. That foul was conceded in the perfect spot for a free kick taker; you could read the script on how momentum would switch the moment it was awarded.
Attackers are primarily there to exploit opponents weaknesses, Tom Rogic, Odsonne Edouard and Ryan Christie combined to do this and put Celtic two ahead in the San Siro. Tom came close on another occasion, Callum McGregor had a gilt-edged chance and having got himself into the perfect position, Jeremie Frimpong froze with Milan at his mercy. We could have been out of sight.
There is a team in this squad. The formation looked right. Frimpong seemed liberated from his normal wide anchor, Rogic worried defenders before tiring; in particular, I was impressed by the way the ball was accurately bulleted across the field.
Oh, and we cannot defend for buttons. I was chastised by a 16-year-old after the game for talking up the relative merits of this performance compared to Ross County. Apparently there is a rulebook for defending two goal leads away to tier one teams, you defend like Ross County and close the game out. But we don’t know how to defend like Ross County. Imagine that!
What I will say is, they fought for their manager last night, Commando Christie in particular.

DanDan…
I’ve just read your post. I am so sorry for your loss. My heart goes out and you and your family. As a father myself, I cannot begin to imagine the pain you’re in.
What shines through from your post was the love and care you and your family had for your son. I hope you can take solace from knowing that love and those shared experiences gave your son the best life he could have wished for.
I commend your courage in sharing your loss. My deepest condolences.
/p
Right bhoys and ghirls, come to think of it, how many ghirls
still post on here, where is Dena?
How about a Celtic hen night when only ghirls can post?
I’m off to bed, early rise for a Celtic thrashing of the St Johns.

KEV J…
I’m with jobo on the moniker, good to see it again, takes me back.
Like most, I didn’t agree with a lot you said back then, maybe now some of what you did say has come to fruition.
Anyways, take care and keep it sweet. 🍀
Jobo- Frimpong as far up the park as possible….
English claiming on Radio Scotland that Celtic have breached some protocol about a photo shoot.

Were Celtic trying to pass off a photo of the players as a “team photo” :O)
DanDan, so sorry for your loss.
KevJungle back in the house and Big Jimmy!

Great article earlier 👍
THE HUDDLE,
I wasn’t paying attention. I got the impression there was a photo published today of Dundee United players, which seems to have breached some protocol. English then immediately jumped in and said Celtic have done the same thing.
What did the fat blowhard English, say about the Huns pre season game played ,with no test results?
If the DU players are being tested regularly, and in a bubble, what’s the issue?

To be fair some bright spark at Celtic social media thought it would be a good idea to put this on Twitter.
DanDan. I had not read a lot of the posts so I was not till now aware of your great loss. Reading back discovered your lovely post and the love of your son and family that came through so strongly. I will will remember you and your family in my prayers. Tonight I will remember your son at Mass, I will pray that he is in the Eternal Paradise, re-united with all those he once cheered on at Celtic Park and elsewhere who have also gone to the Lord. R.I.P.
Squire – BBC report says Mr Leitch is surprised by a photo of DUTD is he having a feckin laugh.
The same players who are on the park less than 2 metres apart plus hugging and spitting in a game.
Feck off Leitch ya numbscull.

Sorry if this contaminates the site but any idea when this was taken:

” I know I waste my time on some closed minds,but one thing you cannot argue with is facts.I will keep on printing them.”
Something I have often felt myself !
I would have thought support for a team would mean that any bias would be in favour of that team but no, not on CQN where Celtic are concerned.
HS – Think that’s last years photo.
Flannigan, Halliday etc
What about European nights when players are standing shoulder to shoulder.
Leitch should shut his mouth.
D :)
Dandan.
What a beautiful post..
May your son rest in peace.☘💚
Regarding team photo…..have we left ourselves wide open……………i don’t know.
Am I correct in assuming that the “fence” around Celtic Park prevents access by family members to any of the memorial bricks they paid to have installed near the entrance to the ground?
Regardless of travel/gathering restrictions that currently apply…

What about 442:
RB Bitton RCB Ajer LCB Jullien LB Elhamed,
the 2 Israelis play those positions for their country.
Middle R-L:
Frimpong, Soro, McGregor, Turnbull, Laxalt
Front: Griffiths, Edouard.

Unfortunately I think we are only allowed to start with 10 outfield players. Unless we’ve decided that we’d be better of without ANY of our goalkeepers ;-)
I tried to play 12 before also
