  1. Great victory for Celts, Dembele finally delivers, should see him kick on now, gave that turkey Senderos the run around. Barton was right, Brown is not in his league.....and he proved it. <deleted>, did he think for one moment that he was going to get at Brown with crap like that, Brown has been around the block.

    I wish Roberts would go on the outside from time to time, always seems to want to cut back inside.

    So we head off to Spain in good spirits, 25/1 with the bookies, worth a punt.

    Suspect BR will start the same team.

  2. Agree it was a soft penalty. Controlled first half well but lost our shape in the second half.

    Johansen off to Fulham, reports of over 2 million fee, bit of a one season wonder and heading into final year of contract, so a good bit of business all round, seemed his heart was not in it anymore.

    So on the money in side, Johansen, Richards & sell on from Wanyama, should have paid for Sinclair & Dembele. So I suspect we are at break even status. Therefore, now with Champions League money, there should be enough to bring in a few quality-Sinclair type/standard players.

     

    Not impressed by new keeper, overall distribution was poor. What  is worrying, heading into Champions league, not sure what is best option with keeper, unless BR just wants to give CG a boot up the hole. He has big game experience in Europe, has saved us many times over the past few seasons, so I would stick with him. To pluck a guy from Forest and chuck him against the big guns, lots of risk.

    Right back continues to be a problem area, Lustig is best option but too many times he looses his man at the back post, also gave away possession a lot. Is a good squad player but I feel it is an area we need to improve, what about Patterson from Hearts, seems to be attracting interest from England?

    Centre half we seem well covered, am so impressed with Eric the Dane, looks so composed & reads the game well. Also have Jozo to come back, so plenty of quality options.

    Midfield, Brown needs help. Bitton is poor in the tackle, he does bring composure, I reckon we need a Wanyama type, to protect back 4. Rogic put in a good shift & was rewarded with a goal, always looks like he will score goals.

    Up front Griffiths is so dependable, Dembele seems to be still finding his feet, needs time as he is young, just think he needs a few goals to kick start, although he seems easily bullied off the ball.

    Good options on the right with Roberts back to challenge Forest, both just need to understand defensive/tracking back duties and I think we will be in good shape.

    On the left, Sinclair & Tierney work hard & so well.

     

    So, for me, a right back & that marquee midfielder, will be interesting to see what happens in the next few days on the transfer front.

     

  3. Yes, great to get over the line, a few ropey performances along the way. Tactically, Janko was a disaster, should have been hooked at half time, cannot understand why he started in the first place, surly Lusting at Full Back and either Erik or O'C beside Toure.

    I really expected Celtic to pick them off on the break but never happened.

    Talk of Bastian being signed, also talk of a permanent move for Roberts.

    Sinclair continues to impress.

  4. So about 2 years ago, I had a guy  come & hook-up cloudnet.

    He first checked internet strength, hooked it into my TV, charged 6,500 Baht and I top up every month, think its 5oo Baht a month.

    All was good, I was getting all the channels I wanted-RTE, BBC & sky Sports.

    It did freeze up the odd time but no big deal.

    However, over the past few months, it is freezing up too much and sometimes looses connection-All other devices work normally, so its not the internet connection.

    Was wondering it I need an upgrade or something to stop this problems.

    Alternatively, I could just buy another system.

  5. Exciting game, 3 goal lead should be enough to go through.

    Should be stronger team next week, with Erik the Viking back alongside Toure and maybe get half a game out of Roberts. Biton will likely start in a holding role.

    Sinclair continues to impress, Brown is back to his best, looks like he will have a good season.

    Janko did not impress, reckon BR will try bring in a right back before window closes.

    Also, Griffiths should teach Rogic how to take corners.

    Al in all, more signs of progress, Ronnie's Celtic would have folded after the 2 goals went in.

  6. Yes, team is starting to take shape, so looking forward to seeing Tierney & Sinclair teaming up along the left hand side. Good options along the right also, Lustig & Roberts.

    Gordon dropped another clanger with Scott McD lurking.

  7. Finally got the performance we have been waiting for, 5 past the Steelmen and home draw against Alloa in next round. Looks like Motherwell will struggle this season, just could not keep hold of the ball, Celtic did press with speed and passed well-high tempo.

    With suspensions, it was possibly strongest side, Tierney deserved the rest,

    Outstanding display by Sinclair, so looks the part, Rogic was good and Forrest is starting to blossom again, guess he is like a new singing.

  8. Another result for Celtic, still waiting for commanding performance.

    Gordon is a great shot stopper but decision making, especially at crosses, is poor.

    Defense looked solid enough, Torue has had a stabilizing effect, Will be interesting to see who will be the defenders when all are fit.

    Brown is now back to his best, just another silly booking, for decent again, he should know better.

    Forrest had one of his better games-that's as good as he will ever be,  he will loose his place once Roberts is fir, however, he may be an option as an impact sub with 20 min to go, when teams are tiring, needs to put more effort into his tracking back/defensive duties.

    As for Armstrong, only contribution was nearly <deleted> up the goal. Sinclair will take his place immediately, hope BR can get him back to his best

    Front 2 worked hard, a bit ambitious with some of the long range shooting and could be a little bit more composed inside the box.

    McGregor worked hard, without much cutting edge.

    Reckon we need one more marquee signing-a creative midfielder-and we are good for the season, someone like Steve Gerard???

     

  9. Good result, poor performance. Astana are no great shakes.

    Gordon bailed us out a few times in the first half.

    Ambrose should be shipped out ASAP.

    Young Irish lad was good-got potential.

    Tierney was excellent, had a lot of defending to do.

    Was disappointed with Dembele, got bullied a few times, although bot attackers got poor supply.

    Roberts was up for it, had a go every time, good to see him tracking back, he needs coaching to go onto his right side, he's very predictable, done really well for the goal set up.

    Brown seems fitter now than at end of last season, got a silly booking, should have showed more maturity at that handbags towards the end.

    Bitton was a good sub, showed a lot of composure, looked class.

    Disappointed with McGregor, Forest & Armstrong.

    A concentrated, professional performance at Celtic Park should see us through.

    Team was crying out for a creative midfielder, someone who could pick out the runs of the attackers.
