Yeah.. That griffiths goal.. I could not have been standing on the goal line and placed where I wanted it better.
Exactly...you've pretty much done the job...Celtic have loads of pace in the team, perfect for counter atticking play and they just switch the fuck off.Yeah, I feel the same ..at 3 up.. You play tight at the back. Counter attack defend the lead...
Personally I disagree, I don't like any politics being mixed in with football. Just the same way I don't like religion being mixed with sports. It opens up a can of worms, there were too many historical links with the IRA and PLO in the bygone days...I'd prefer it being kept out of Celtic park. If you want to protest do it outside the stadium. I know it's a show of solidarity etc..just my opinion and I'm probably in the minority.http://www.telesurtv.net/english/news/Celtic-Soccer-Fans-Raise-Over-30k-to-Pay-Potential-UEFA-Fine-20160822-0004.html
Good to see the go fund me page now over 32 grand. Naughty Celtic for displaying an illicit banner at the game t'other day. I get that waving Palestine Flags at such a match ahs apolitical connotations, but the flags themselves are not illicit. There was a larger banner though.
Still say Celtic fans did the right thing. You cannae keep sport and politics apart fae each other. If you could the game in question would not have taken place.
Janko should never play for Celtic again. McGregor is a solid SPL squad player and Gordon is completely done.Janko , mcgregor should never start a CL game ever. Craig Gordon's days are numbered. They need at least two more more players.
I'm really pissed off at how negative BR played this game. You are 3 up, go toe to toe with the tactics that got you there in the first place. If you lose a goal, then you change. I just didn't get it. Just a strange philosophy, it's not like this was B. Munich or Real.
Well at this point no group is going to be easy. Best hope is 3rd place but you never know. An early red card for one team, backs to the wall defending,,,,I'm not holding my breath but just glad to be back. To quote a song from a band from Springfield MA: And it's been a while, since I could hold my head up high.Not that this club was going anywhere in the CL anyway, but that draw didn't do us any favors. Barca, Man City & Gladbach. Yeesh.
I watched the draw live, and had a total brain fart, I had them in an easier group (the team who came out before them in pot four, that group, and i was kinda hopeful, until i realized I was hallucinating.) And I guess it had to be a group of death for Celtic...so, I was thinking, what's the upside?Not that this club was going anywhere in the CL anyway, but that draw didn't do us any favors. Barca, Man City & Gladbach. Yeesh.
Apropos of nothing, my eight-year-old son (a budding goalkeeper) was recently scouted by Rangers and invited to train with their youngest development team - he had his first training session with the club on Tuesday, at a high school near Edinburgh. I was really impressed by the coaching and the whole setup; I'm under no illusions about the likelihood that my son will become a professional footballer, but still, no matter what happens I can say that my son played for Rangers (after a fashion), which particularly as an American is pretty cool.Having Rangers back is a good thing for Scottish soccer.
The thing about that Scottish Cup game was that it was a blessing in disguise, if Deila wins the Cup and the league, I doubt he walks. It was a Mo Lewis moment. I guess one can speculate that he would have been gone anyway given that Rangers would be in the PL and the budget would have been increased..I just don't think it would have happened if they win the double. Deila was one of the luckiest Celtic managers ever, with Rangers being gone and a massive budget advantage over the other teams in the league. It was a cake walk to win the PL .Time to put my head back above the trenches.
Can't say I'm looking forward to this one...at all. Too early in the season, too many new players who haven't gelled and, as CP said, ponderously slow.
As I said up-thread, in the Cup Semi Rangers were the team playing the Football, that won't be the case on Sunday, that's for sure. If we can hold it to the odd-goal I'll be pretty satisfied.
Oh and for the record, these deluded Rangers fans that reckon we are going to challenge for the title this season, are exactly that, deluded. Getting into the battle for 2/3/4 with Hearts and Aberdeen, bringing some much-needed money in and ensuring stability should be thought of as a very successful season.
