The Offical Glasgow Celtic thread

[Applesisapples]

Aye, did hear Lafferty`s car got damaged which is disgraceful tbh. But for every attack on someone from the huns, there are 30+ attacks on someone associated with Celtic. Still not defending what happened to Lafferty though as this shit needs to stop

Was he joy riding at the time?

Any links bucks to the McGeouch goal again St Mirren ? Cannot get it on youtube

[Forever Green]

Unlucky tonight, we should have at the least got a draw from it. Sammy actually played decent for two games in a row, something that hasn't happened since the Strachan era. Best player on the field was Kayal. Some may question him about that goal but this is a guy who usually mows through people for a shortcut so I am assuming he lost flight of the ball or got a call from Forster who btw scares the shit out of me everytime a ball goes near him. Zaluska should be our No 1. Cant understand the decision by Lenny to bring Brown on for Stokes when we were chasing a goal. I am a big of Brown but he certainly is not the player who is going to get us a goal. Would have preferred McCourt. Still in with a chance of qualifying but we will need to put in a mammoth performance over in Italy. Rennes did us a big favour tonight. Focus now turns to Sunday to keep our league revival going away to Dundee United which is never easy

Hail Hail!

The Europa league is a level above Celtics ability.

The Europa league is a level above Celtics ability.

The group we are in, I would maybe say so but we have handled ourselves very well in these matches. We should have at least got a draw out of Atletico tonight. They were able to got out and spend almost £50m in the summer on new players. I think we have to be admired to be still able to compete with the likes of this. This is a group that is arguably harder than most of the Champions League groups so imo we have done well to stay in contention until the final match

you've got some cheek to come on here and laugh - if you take man utd's champions league group for example: benfica are about the same as atletico madrid, udinese are a better team than basel and rennes are better than galati and yet utd are struggling to qualify.

maybe forever green exaggerated when he said 'most' but certainly celtic's europa league group is quite difficult and to be still in contention going into the last game is not bad to be honest.

[lynchbhoy]

thought Celtic have done well enough - certainly better than the last number of seasons in europe.
Certainly the quality of Celtic's squad is not what it was - no harm to some of the players but imo they are not great - but thats all Celtic can afford, thats all SPL teams can afford, but they are not too far off the levels of the lower half of epl despite a massive disparity in finances. Most of the spl sides would aquit themselves reasonably well in the eng championship or at worst div 1 (jeez I wish it was back to the Div 1, 2 , 3 and 4 of yesteryear).

I think this decent run is papering over Lennons dificiencies as an inexperienced boss.
Too many silly tactical, positional and personnel decisions that he is consistently getting wrong.

then reacting to players whinging about not getting game time.

why did he change the winning team from last sat for example. crazy decision and he does it all the time.
I like him but this is the problem with taking the cheaper option as manager.

[SambaSaffron]

After getting beat by Crystal Palace? You didn't really think this top quality wind-up through.

[lynchbhoy]

Berbatov, Gibson and in particular jonny evans having 'stormer's' yet again !

rather than fergie trying to showcase these to be sold, I think he is trying to prove to themhow sihte they actually are and get them to move on !

man u are not going to make much of a profit on any of them !

[Forever Green]

Not the best of performances but we got the 3 points which is the most important thing. Kayal was sensational closely followed by Wanyama and Majstorovic for me. Dunno why Lenny took Loovens off as he didn't seem to be injured and was playing quite well. Samaras was alright at the start of the game but he was his usual self for the rest of it. Should have been taken off. Hooper in brilliant form atm. Very rarely does he miss a chance. Must have one of the best conversion rates around. Still four points in it with the huns very lucky to get a win yesterday

trying to get my hands on couple of tickets for the old firm on the 28th, home for christmas and its the only game when I am there....flights booked but the tickets are harder than expected to come by, any help appreciated,

[Muzz]

If you'd said about 2 weeks ago I could have got you 2.  They were on sale for season ticket holders and just checked and no longer on sale.
