The Offical Glasgow Celtic thread

[stew]

I'm hard on Lennon - he is still a manager learning his trade so cannot be a genius and get it right all the time right now at least.
He makes mistakes in player selection and personnel - and a few blnders with regard to tactics.

But he really seems to be able to spot a good player. OK maybe it is that the scouts for the first time in almost two decades I would reckon, are really surpassing themselves.
Whether it is the scouts or Lennon, the players that are on the Celtic squad and in the youth system are superb- home grown or bought for tiny fees and I reckon after last night a good few of them will be on the radar in the english premier league if not further afield.

As a long time Samaras proponent, I'm delighted he did it again last night.

Clubs with bigh bankrolls will be looking at him, Forrest, Commons, Wanyama, Ambrose, Izzaguire(who I dont rate as high at many - though he can cross a ball) and especially Hooper who is as good as some of the strikers in the English squad!

Celtic were lucky last night. I thought they deserved a draw before the red card. At least they were clinical for a change and that is a big change from prev seasons (remember anderlecht).

Hopefuly they will get their heads right for the game v hearts this weekend.

Valencia did not start against City in a must have game for manure last season...............his manager? the genius that is SAF, truth is they all get it wrong sometimes.

Lennon and Celtic are on a high, their star is on the rise just as their nemesis star is at an all time low, kismet, karma? I don't know, but I love it.

Lennon has a talent for spotting talent, he would thrive in the PL because he would bring so much to the table regarding the youth set up and picking up undervalued players.

It's a moot point whether Lennon could manage a team in another league, never mind a piddling club in the lower reaches of the epl  with zero european pedigree and zero chance of getting any. He's still on a learning curve, fortunately for Celtic it's upwards. It's taken a work in progress period  to get to this point, with the Finnish and Swedish champions already dispatched, a very decent performance against Benfica and now Russia's 2nd team beaten.
I like the way he wants Celtic to play football, the way he has moulded a coherent shape to the team with players at their best in defined roles. He's also done well with the leftover crumbs before the transfer window closed.

Isn't Pat Fenlon doing well at Hibs?  Hope he can keep it going.

Anywhere to watch the match online seeing as RTE and ITV are showing the same bloody match?

After all these years, you have to ask where the stream links are available?

Heartbreak for Celtic. In fairness Barcelona played for the win and got it.

[All of a Sludden]

b**tard!!!!!!!!

Ironically the scorer was Alba.

[Main Street]

Tough and cruel end after that effort.
Thats the best team I've ever seen Celtic play.

[theticklemister]

Hardstation I maybe am to blame AGAIN.

This is the first time I have gone into a soccer thread as my da doesnt allow me near them for curiousity to see how they were doing. I went in there when you said there are 4 minutes left to get the score and I said to myself ' shit they r doing well here' and then I checked again there lol

I fear my quote below is correct, something that u have said before.
