The Offical Glasgow Celtic thread

[illdecide]

On the match...we got what we deserved. Second best all over the park but think we left it too late to replace Forrest, MJ and R Christie. Should have been done sooner but hey that's the way it goes. The biggest pain was listening to them two pricks doing the Sky (KC and KB). Pure melts

What was Kent doing when he scored...imitating a gun to the side of his head and his other hand like a gun too?
What was Morelos doing with a cutting throat action walking down the tunnel

Well obviously what he was doing was using the occasion in Celtic Park to allude to sectarian murders during the troubles so as to aggravate angry lads on the gaaboard.

Still a knob after all this time I see. Away back to your traffic duty.

I have no idea what Kent was doing. Nor, for that matter, do you, but you've already decided there's some nefarious reason behind it. "Filth" was the word you used, right?

I imagine Morelos was in some way alluding to things being over, or finished as, despite the red, it was a near certainty that Rangers had won the game.

Such delicate little flowers on this thread.

I'm confused...I was the one who brought this up as i was genuinely asking why these two players done the actions they did!!!. Of course not one of us here on the Board will know why they done it but it obviously meant something.

Gallsman is as his name

Really, most of the Rangers (and Celtic) players don't know what can be misinterpreted from celebrations they do.

Most are young lads from another country with little or no knowledge of history/culture and just get caught up in the moment making a wild gesture.

Lennon should be hunted down the road and be sharing the taxi with Lawell.. Operation down size has commenced. We have a squad who are far better than Rangers yet we've got found out twice this season against them. We are absolute dog meat. McGregor, Ajer & Forrest have all went back under Lennon. Time to go Lenny before the top tier is covered in those lovely banners again.

Football fans are so fickle aren't they

Truth is Celtic were poor today and have been for past 3 weeks. That said, should have drawn that game. Apart from their goals they really had no other clear cut chances. Their second goal from the corner was a goal kick to us.
Commentary and analysis on Sky and radio was odd. Look at the highlights package and match stats and you will see a relatively even match.
This time last year they were even on points with us after beating us. Let's hope for a similar result at end of season.

Listened to it on five live, decent commentary I thought. The stats can be misleading at times, by all accounts from ones that watched it Rangers were the better team.

Should they win their match in hand it'll be an interesting run in

Rangers the better team. Momentum now with them and can see them winning the league. Celtic who have a far better squad in (lets face it) a farmer's league have been awful. No heart. No belief. No will to win. They should really have the league all but won at this stage. Celtic pay almost 60m on wages Rangers just over 20m. The fact Rangers are even close says everything. If I was a Celtic fan I'd be extremely worried.

Without stats, most important thing to look for is intent and aggression - Rangers dominated the game, very on the front foot from the first whistle.  You'd have thought at half-time, Lennon would have read the riot act for being too passive and expect a bit of fire at the start of the second half...but no, Rangers dominating again (away from home with a handful of supporters behind them).

There is a pattern emerging in games V Rangers - second best and being bullied out of it.  Then he comes out with usual...."we've got to be more...in games like this".  Too late - it's the same pattern in big games like this.  Celtic, before they play Rangers again, need to watch these 2 recent games back to back...without a break!!

Best thing now is to get knocked out of Europe and concentrate on 9iar.  As I said yesterday, this hopefully will focus Lawell's mind on splashing out on a few quality players in Jan.  NL talking about getting quality in - hopefully that's code to put pressure on Lawell.  Lennon knows what's at stake.

By the way, where is Sinclair these days - he'd be better than the young lad Johnson in games like this: experience, a bit of trickery and chips in with goals in important games.

It's seems there is a fear of losing to Rangers which may be a mindset they are bringing into the games. They'd need the optimistic view of some of the posters on here before playing these games

The commentary and analysis on Sky was awful. They were creaming themselves at the thought of rangers beating Celtic. This wasn't like a game from the 90s where we battered them and lost 1-0. We weren't robbed (although the corner for second goal was contentious) and they weren't better than us other than possibly their apparent desire. We can play better than yesterday but I believe they are at maximum. Can they maintain it?
