Great bunch of lads.

Champions again. Even that lazy big hoor Idah scored a couple yesterday! Good interview with the manager afterwards, hopefully the board back him over the summer.

Christ, Faldo is such a f**king tool.

This. Multiplied by 100.  Closely followed by Dame Laura who calls almost everything incorrectly.

Thanks for the info fellas.  Personally think it's mad introducing any of the new rules from under 16 down but what do I know?!

Does anyone know when the juvenile football leagues are due to start?  Is it correct that the new rules will be in use at under 14 level?

Great performance, tactically perfect, had our chances, rode our luck at times, a pretty cruel finish but they really left it all on the pitch - not too often that actually happens.

I thought we were looking a bit gassed near the end myself, very understandable as everyone gave 100%.

Couldn't agree more. Having to bring Yang on shows the squad is still light. I'm sure the manager will be making that point to the board. A left back who can head the ball and tackle makes some difference.

Can't see Celtic getting through tonight but it's the hope that kills ya!  Hopefully Greg Taylor doesn't start and they put in a decent performance with no early stupid mistakes.

Genuinely stay away from most punditry/post match stuff and just caught Cora Staunton there before the Down highlights (!). Jesus, it's like she is there under duress. No insight and absolutely zero craic. If that is the standard then I'm happy to leave it!

Tierney might not be at Celtic until the summer and Valle away back to Barca. Taylor and Scales are the left back options for tomorrow night! 

Result is all that mattered tonight. Super first half, terrible second. Daizen lost the head a few times towards the end of the match, not like him.

The Red High is dead. The new amalgamation doesn't even have enough teachers to cover classes so I wouldn't be holding out for coaching excellence to come from there anytime soon.

Poor second half. Too many players not firing at the moment. Trusty and Bernardo really poor tonight. Squad needs quality added quickly.

Yeah, hard fought win. Scoreline flattered Celtic a bit. I don't like being negative but Adam Idah just isn't up to it. I want it to work out for him and thought maybe fitness issues were hindering him but it's evident that he's just not good enough. Young Kenny was more effective in 10 minutes than Idah in the last 3 games. I'm not saying Kenny is the answer by the way!

I Cant see a whole pile wrong with his comments. He is backing his current squad. Yes maybe a little unnecessary (at the end of the day the fans are just singing a song) but people seem to be over reacting to BR comments

Agree with this.  There is no doubt if BR was a bar of chocolate he'd eat himself and he has a blind spot when it comes to some players (Taylor and Scales!) but this year so far his achievements can't be argued with. 

I think he is pissed off with himself and the players after the Ibrox performance and he's trying to deflect from that.  He might have gone the wrong way about it though!
