The Offical Glasgow Celtic thread

[Gaoth Dobhair Abu]

Gutted.
As usual the forces of darkness drop points and we don't take advantage!
Ok possible penalty decision (hand ball) turned down in the dying minutes but it doesn't take away from the fact that we looked sterile up front again.
McGinn had a great debut (albeit raw) and I think with a bit of coaching he will be a fantastic player, but we are gagging for a decent striker, cannot go the whole season scoring from set pieces!!

I see on the BBC site today Celtic are linked to Robbie Keane??? that man would score 40 goals a season at Celtic but how the hell could we pay his wages...the mans prob on about 80-£100k a week at Spurs

I always thought Keane was 'Larsson-lite' - a poor mans henrik.
Plays the same kind of game but isnt quite as good a goal scorer. Still would do a job in spl and europe.
Better than a lot of strikers Celtic have had.

Keane is a wealthy lad and could take a cut to join celtic if he was interested in playing in next seasons cl.
As its unlikely he will ever get the chance playing for spurs, even then he may not be first choice at white hart lane!

Aye but its in the BBC gossip column, where they are quoting the Daily Mirror. Complete fairy tale.

Is it common for the Mirror to write with such unsubstantiated certainty?
Must be, if there are people to swallow it.

Lynchboy,
Robbie can't head for shíte,with one or two exceptions.

Doyle would be more of a fit for the lite version of the elegant Larsson style.
He cost about £7m
Considering what Celtic spent on Maloney and Fortuné, add their wages and you could come close to getting a decent Larsson lite.

dont disagree with that ms

keane is larsson lite - Larsson was actually superb with the head for a small guy !
Like larsson keane creates a lot of chances for others and is an erratic finisher - will score the hard ones more than the easy ones and like larsson isnt great at one on ones !

Would take doyle in a flash, but think I read a couple of years back that robbie keane would like to play for celtic if the chance arose. he looks like he will be out of favour at spurs soon too....

[lynchbhoy]

whatever about fortune - maloney is dreadful. I could never warm to him - ok he has scored some great goals but doesnt contribute nearly enough to merit a place n the squad let alone the team for me !
I know I am harsh on mccourt and mcginn, but at least they try to pass the ball. maloney is head down one trick pony headless chicken.

[tyroneman]

Maloney was overrated when he came on the scene, exposed for the 2 bit player he is at villa and has done fcuk all sqared since his vastly ovepriced return. Would give flood, mcginn and koki a chance before him. At least a run of games might bring them on.

The game today is on tv3e, some channel that I never knew existed and wouldn't bother with unless out of necessity.
I hear the temperature is going to be hot.

aye i meant to ask about that channel...what is it and how do you get it?

[lfdown2]

heard this too but had thought it was on espn? is this station only available in ireland then?

[rossie mad]

As far as i am aware its on ESPN as well.

it will be a very tough game with a vocal home support i imagine.
Is brown in line for a place?need him if we are to grind out a result.

We won in moscow against a slightly better side so i would be hoping for at least a point in this game.
Disappointing against dundee utd but as i said a decent side which should get the third spot in the league.

Back to tonight and my heart says a 1 nil win for the bhoys but my head says a dull one all draw.

Best of luck lads

I have a sky digibox with a  irish channel sky card.
TV3e  is on the channel menu, somewhere around 180/182.

Match is on ESPN kick off 6pm.

[lynchbhoy]

celtic not played well since the two arsenal matches.
need to get back on track.
Could win, could lose, I expect a 0-0 draw.

3e used to be the city channel or something like that.
its been taken over by the irish TV3 and they show repeats of stuff like coronation street that were broadcast earlier that day on TV3.

some good american stuff on it though.
better than tv3 imo !

I dont like the lone striker setup that I hear Celtic are looking at using again.
I'd much prefer samaras and mcdonald to start.
