The Offical Glasgow Celtic thread

[ned]

It's always a dodgy decision when celtic get a pen. CGAF. Still unbeaten.

Celtic should have won that match 4-1 last night on chances, their keeper made 2 brilliant saves and Celtic hit the post i think on 2 occasions. Motherwell have a system that unsettles Celtic and presses them high up the pitch making defenders make mistakes trying basic passes under pressure, they look good spreading passes around the back when not pressed or under pressure but they're getting nervy on the ball when pressed.
BR knows how Motherwell will play against them and should have a system in place to counteract this high pressing (a few long balls over the top and not down the centre halves throats either but down the flanks with a system in place) If Celtic get in behind them a few times it'll make Well think about the high press...I know the higher percentages that'll mean giving the ball away a bit more (which BR will not do) but it's just a thought in my head...

Celtic fans do some crying when a decision goes against them... the whole conspiracy theory. Hopefully thats the end of that.

These two penalties are going to take on mythical proportions. Both were penalties. Not soft, not dodgy. It either is or it isn't, same as offside and many other rules. Can't give half a penalty just because the player wasn't blatantly scythed down. If Celtic get 100 penalties in the next 100 games it might just equalise past injustices.
We will beat 'Well 5-0 at the weekend.

Why? It was a definite penalty and our first league penalty of the season

Two dodgy pennos in four days... just saying the reaction would have been off the scale if they'd been against Celtic

Not at all dodgy!!! Had they been against us it would have been a different matter. Well certainly the one on Sunday anyway which Im not convinced about.
Other people are making a big enough deal about them anyway

FFS other fans still go on about a throw in we got in a Cup Final in the 80's and Naka's free kick against Killie in the early 2000's. That's how often we get dodgy decisions. Neither of these penalties were dodgy.

Of course they weren't dodgy, they were for Celtic

A good win today...should have won by about 8-9 as Motherwell looked like the third match against Celtic had taken it's toll on them. Celtic made 6 changes from midweek and they all done rightly with Edouard getting a hat-trick. 67...

[Targetman]

Yep good performance today and a few players who don't get much game time getting a run out, we should guarantee 3rd place in champions league on Tuesday night and hopefully make progress in Europa league, 67 not out!!
