KEVJUNGLE, you keep it lit pal, i cant say for certain but maybe 79/80 you had a red white and blue tracksuit on in the old jungle.lol.only jokin kev.hh.
Just scanning tonight’s fixtures I spotted Sporting – Astana.
Must be a joke in there somewhere?
It cheered me up a bit anyway!
Wouldn’t it be nice if our poor underpaid players had fought against the millionaires of St. Petersburg like Ostersunds did against Arsenal? Or is that too much to hope for when we play away in Europe?
Not really worried about EL. We were never winning it. I am worried about our loss of form this season. We are nowhere near last year. Even allowing for injuries, key guys like Moussa and Sinclair have dropped off hugely. I can only think of a few really good performances – Astana at home, Pittodrie, Brussels, last week. It’s largely been meh, with lots of possession, but decreasing threat as the season has worn on. Teams have learnt how to manage us and we need to find a way to regain our verve and element of surprise. We’re closer to Ronny’s level of performance than Brendan’s from last year. A lot of teams have kept clean sheets against us recently and that needs to stop – Anderlecht, Hertz, St J, Killie and now Zenit. I keep waiting for us to go on a run of form, but I’m now adjusting to this really being it. I reached the same point with Ronny’s team. Get the league won and reboot for next season.
maybe my expectations are too high :
can you expect toight’s team to do something like this lot –
Robert Douglas
CB 5 Belgium Joos Valgaeren YC 8′ Substituted off 64′
CB 6 Guinea Bobo Baldé Yellow cardYellow cardRed card 80′, 96′
CB 35 Sweden Johan Mjällby
RWB 17 France Didier Agathe
LWB 8 England Alan Thompson
CM 14 Scotland Paul Lambert (c) Substituted off 76′
CM 18 Northern Ireland Neil Lennon YC 59′
CM 19 Bulgaria Stiliyan Petrov YC 102′ Substituted off 105′
CF 9 England Chris Sutton
CF 7 Sweden Henrik Larsson
probably not, poor poor football tonight.
aberdeen on sunday – let’s go at them
I made a comment about KT leaving us during the first half which caused some consternation, let me explain,
Andy Robertson of Liverpool, i follow him on social media and I’ve been watching their games over the last few months. He’s been phenomenal and is becoming a big fans favourite. I watch him raid up the left hand side, driving forward, slinging wonderful crosses into the box and playing in a team thats fluid and going places. IMO he’s not as good as KT but he’s at a level where he’s improving, learning and crucially, fulfilling his potential.
I watch KT for us, he has so much drive and determination. On Sunday it felt like there was a gaping hole in the team in his absence. I think he could play for any team he chose, he’s that good. Maybe he would need a wee bit more coaching at a higher level but nothing major. I watch him play for us, so many of his teammates are so passive, there is nobody to cross to, when he looks up when he hits the byline the movement is poor. The system is hurting him, he passes back instinctively when he doesn’t need to. he doesn’t the work of three men at times, it’s a wonder he isn’t burnt out. During the recent Thistle game, they went one up, our players headed back to centre, heads down to a man, he was roaring at them to get going, it was true leadership.
Do i want to see KT leave us, hell no. He’s too honest and humble to ask if we’re holding him back. I fear we are.

“As an aside, it’s always those who are the happy clappers who start with the insults against those who are the true mineshafters, quite sad really.”
That has not been my experience tonight.
Maybe, it’s just confirmation bias and we only notice it when it is “our side” that gets the needless jibes.
SFTB
You could well be right, if you can point me in the direction of a mineshafter slagging, dissing, or generally having a dig at a NAMED happy clapper for their beliefs, posts tonight, I would be most grateful, as I have yet to see one.
I could point you in the direction of a few the other way :-)

The ‘mineshafters’ attack the team/management/ performances.

That is my experience.

Gooooood Evening CQN
Not posted for a week, so firstly
Floatin- thoughts and prayers for all your family
May your Mum Rest In Peace
Now Celtic
Didn’t see 1 minute of tonight’s game, listened too it on radio whilst driving back up road from South
Sounded a really dissapointing performance – in my view from witnessing game last week, Zenit did not look a team, we should not be able to beat over a 2 game period, confidence last week, and we could have won by more.
But
We have been really inconsistent this season, no idea why we appear to have lost confidence in moving forward ?
We do, and need to recognise, have a lot of really young and relatively inexperienced players in our team, Keiran, Kristoff, Kouassi, Olivier, Charly, Moussa, etc, so may explain some inconsistency ?
What I will also say, we all need to get behind the team, and support our drive to a double treble if possible
Hail Hail
DAVID17 – good explanation. I don’t like the message, but no reason to blame the messenger.
You do see KT getting annoyed at team-mates more often this year.
Hopefully BR brings the standard up to such an extent that the thought of seeking pastures new would never even enter our next captain’s head.

bad luck with injuries to players who have euro experience. Didn’t do enough at Celtic Park with our dominance.
*that about sums it up, after the game some of the Zenit players mentioned being intimidated at Parkheid and yet I felt we game them too much respect. Hindsight though.
just finished watching a recording of the game. Away game against an expensive team in a big full stadium, I thought we did ok. They made fewer mistakes than us over two games which is no surprise when you have a young cheaply assembled defence and Ddf in goal who is a level below the rest of the team and at least a goal down over two games against a good team.
The commentator on bt was a wink, but between Sutton, Bbj and Stubbs there are a list as long as your arm of much worse away euro performances
CELTIC40ME
I thought Zenit played an Italian style game, happy to let us have the ball, defended well in numbers, were cynical when they needed to be and were decent on the break, to be expected under Mancini, we gifted them two goals of a start and that was never going to be overcome:((
Mancini adjusted his tactics to nullify us and did it well, again to be expected he’s a good coach and has been a round good teams all his life.
As I posted the other day this group of players has a lot to learn in Europe, maybe at full strength it could have been different, we’ll see next year!
Negannon
So you still have no idea as to who you might want to buy who might actually want to come to our league ?
TET
The post from Fairhill Bhoy @ 7.07 refutes your theory and that of Glendalystonsils
Experience is affected by confirmation bias too
DAVID17 on 22ND FEBRUARY 2018 10:12 PM
Robertson can’t defend. Moreno was first choice until recently, KT is a much better player.
SFTB
I can’t see a post from Fairhill @ the time you mention, you arny doing too good at this are you :-)

BURNLEY78
Do you think Celtic should save a fortune every year and just give NEGANON the gig?
Sounds like a plan.
Bags me PL’s job. You can be the new Bankier.
Tonight’s word is shit.
Shit performance.
Shit goalkeeping esp.
Shit subs – Moussa looked done, no substitute left.
Shit referee – all about him. Twat.
CQN – shit. Mineshafters or Happyclappers? Pigeon-hole nonsense. It’s an opinion. Nothing else.
Performance rollercoaster continues. Only one thing is certain. Brendan has his work cut out.
I’ve scrolled back and still can’t see where I was a member of a clique but I’ll resign anyway as I would never
be a member of a clique that would have me as a member.

Spot on
Good night Timdom
Cowiebhoy – the only consolation I can offer is this……pure shabby getting your motor’s windows tanned and driving back from Celtic Park. At least it wasn’t St Petersburg temperatures … though I’m sure it felt that way last week!

Oh well

I see a dead ball specialist not just as a goal scorer from free kicks but someone who knows how to cross the ball with power and accuracy from corners and free kicks
*we have one; he’s also our best goalscorer.
BOURNESOUPRECIPE
Doubt you can be in a clique-you dish out the praise or the criticism,depending on which is deserved.
Ya splitter!
I’ve had to change my name
We could never afford that team. Not then or now.
We had a rights issue to pay the debt. We had the 6th biggest wage bill in the UK then. Now we can only afford the 26th.
We are not in the top 50 clubs in Europe in terms of wage bill because we are one of the few who pay what we can afford.

“I can’t see a post from Fairhill @ the time you mention, you arny doing too good at this are you :-)”
I hadn’t checked back TET. It seems the mods have been buy and have removed the post and a few of my replies but left others there which makes me look as though I am jitting out with no provocation.
BTW- that is not a complaint against the Mods- I never have and never will.
But I assure you, your theory is wrong, at least in this instance, and, if you were on here at that time, you would know it.
Mods have been busy- not “buy”
WHAT IS THE STARS on 22ND FEBRUARY 2018 8:17 PM
Anyhow its only football after all. There is always another game.
*exactly, Napoli are also out, wonder what its like on napoliquicknews the night.
Big one on Sunday
*mitbs in a quandary over this one, as sevco are a cert homer on Saturday. Don’t expect laffatme ot naisy tae show up and as for snivellin, well he already took the SFA shilling when he walked out on the Arabs and the budgie said SFA when her fans were attacked 4 year ago outside hades and since then bader has wined and diner along with deidco supporter Nicole who grew up in tim free dreghorn.
So do they keep the sheep further back or stop the pesky Tims from their march tae seven, hmmmm
Life is good. Enjoy. Don’t be stressing. Half the world is starving. People are being slaughtered in Syria. There are worse things than your football team disappointing you.
*Aye an effin nutcase who blames everybody and their granny for the slaughter of weans except the nra ruining the country.
Although he held almost all the cards you have to think Mancini outthought Brendan tonight. Brendan should have known Zenit would sit back and hit on the counter.
Without stealing KevJ thunder
How many times have we listened to WGS,NL RD and now BR telling us the board have given me everything I asked for??
If this is fact I’m a happy clapper..
I’m still a Celtic supporter not a PLC or money one
DANSO_1888 on 22ND FEBRUARY 2018 8:24 PM
as long as we are top dogs at home everything will be fine just dont let it slip brendan
*as Marvin Lee Aday said “you took the words right out of my mouth”.
Tonight was indeed the night that our starts like Kt think. Jesus they have no ambition.
Celtic only ambition is to keep each and every one of you in the style of victim they want you to.
It’s good for burners after all.
Accept your fate as victim. Accept you are a lesser human being.
After all PL and the board demand it for the good of Celtic .
You are their victims. Their prey. And that’s just the Celtic board.
They hate the criminal racists you are but you are good for business.
Are you happy?
