salty Posted August 15, 2015 Share Posted August 15, 2015 Your money is safe balo. 4-2 win but after a 4-0 lead conceded 2 late goals. From reports seemed Boyata fall guy. We badly need a clean sheet on Wednesday so this is not reassuring. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CelticBhoy Posted August 17, 2015 Share Posted August 17, 2015 I am enjoying all the nonsense involving the signing of Scott Allan. The Rangers tried three times to get him, but we managed to poach the lad. Just where does he fit in the current team though? Maybe he can play back a bit and aid the useless Boyata.

I'm not sure how he will fit. Not sure he will get a lot of game time. This could be a bad move for him. Personally i don't think Rangers need him. I mean he didn't really do that well in England. He only scored 2 goals last season for Hibs i think. I'm glad we didn't spend money on him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post salty Posted August 19, 2015 Popular Post Share Posted August 19, 2015 Celtic 3 Malmo 2 A narrow 1st leg win for Celtic. They got off to a flyer after 2 1/2 minutes. A good run by Armstrong ended with a pass to Johansen who found Griffiths with a great pass and he finished neatly for the lead. Celtic continued to press and from a Johansen corner Bitton headed home from close range. Johansen had a poor effort against the goalie and Griffith shot into the side netting with a rather optimistic effort. Malmo up to then had hardly showed but began to get into it. Izaguirre sold himself by completely diving in and was left for dead but Van Dijk was at hand to clear. Celtic then slowly but surely began to get sloppy Boyata gave it away and shortly after Van Dijk made a good saving tackle in the area but his pass to Boyata was poor. Gordon had to make a good save. Izaguirre with a stupid foul conceded a free in a dangerous area. Before HT Armstrong was just wide of the far post. Poor back header from Brown created more danger but Celtic got to HT still 2-0 up. Forrest who played well had a chance but instead of shooting tried to beat a defender and lost the ball. Celtic forced a corner but as the ball was cleared a poor defensive header by Celtic had Malmo streaming forward. A cross found the unmarked Jo Inge Berget and he lashed it into the far corner. It was an excellent goal from the Celt of last season. Malmo were pushing forward. Gordon had to make a good save, Bitton put |Van Dijk under pressure with a poor back pass to the Dutchmans obvious irritation. Suddenly with Celtic looking more vulnerable Griifiths struck again. A cross from Lustig was headed up in the air by the full back. Griffiths timing his run perfectly got up above the stationary full back to glance a header over the goalie and in off the far post,. GMS came on for Armstrong who was suffering with a knock. Cifti replaced Grittiths who left to huge applause after 73 minutes. 5 minutes later Lustig pulled a muscle and was carried off on a stretcher. He must be very doubtful for the return Ambrose came on to replace him. Celtic were getting sloppy again. Izaguirre easily beaten and you were praying for the end. 5 minutes injury time. Stupid foul by Cifti but Gordon good catch under pressure. With time almost up a corner to Malmo. Johansen a stupid booking for playing silly buggers with the ball. From the corner Bitton and Van Dijk went for the same ball it was headed forward and Berget again far more aware lashed it into the net from close range, Understandable delight from Malmo bench and support. They will see themselves as favorites and I would be inclined to agree with them. At the final whistle Malmo looked elated and Celtic deflated. Unless Celtic can score 2 in Malmo they will be out if Malmo score. With several week links in our defense a scoreless draw seems very unlikely. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

balo Posted August 20, 2015 Share Posted August 20, 2015 Jo Inge Berget, why did you let him go , lol. And the Malmo manager Hareide had said in an interview before the match that Berget would score and get his "revenge". You need to defend well in the away match, not hopeless still think you will go through. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CelticBhoy Posted August 21, 2015 Share Posted August 21, 2015 Tough talk from Sweden . . . . not Their goalie is in for some flack next week. Malmo keeper Johan Wiland has accused Celtic of acting like “pigs” and children. The Swedish club’s No.1 slammed the Hoops after the Scottish champions edged them 3-2 in their Champions League playoff showdown. Wiland singled out two-goal hero Leigh Griffiths – insisting he was like a child – while team-mate Rasmus Bengtsson claimed sub Nadir Ciftci was "not nice". In an interview with Swedish publication Kvallsposten, Wiland said: "“They are pigs, all of them, that’s the way it is. “You just have to try to stay cool and do what we have to do on the pitch. Griffiths, well, I don’t know what to say, he behaved like a child, tugging shirts all the time.” Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
salty Posted August 22, 2015 Share Posted August 22, 2015 Dundee Utd 1 Celtic 3 3 more points at Tannadice. Fielding only 2 of the starting eleven in the 1st leg ( Izaguirre, Griffiths) Celtic eased to a comfortable victory in the end. Celtic were well on top from the off. Commons had a shot blocked on the line and Mulgrew just over with a free kick. A pass from Stokes which was not cut out let Griffiths through. He rounded the keeper and slotted home. Celtic were well on top but the keeper made some good saves. Bailly the reserve keeper almost gifted DU an equaliser when instead of clearing a back pass took a touch and chasing the forward out of the box could have conceded a penalty if the forward had gone down. A really mindless bit of play. Up to the last 5 minutes of the half DU hardly had a look in apart from that, In the closing minutes Celtic broke quickly from a corner Commons was away and tried to set up Griffiths but his pass was intercepted by Durnan but he only suceeded in turning the ball past the keeper for an og, Within a minute Fraser made a good run into the Celtic area and Ambrose lunging in like an elephant in a china shop brought him down. Erskine lashed home the penalty. DU started the 2nd half with more conviction and had the better of the early exchanges. Celtic gradually began to exert more control. Mcgregor replace Mulgrew in 61 minutes and Allan replaced Griffith in 68. The much discussed signing from Hibs had a chance to make an instant impact when he seized on a clearance from the keeper but his attempted lob lacked the power and the keeper got back to make a comfortable save. Shortly after Celtic scored again.Mcgregor receiving from Mackay-Steven worked his way into the box and shot. It was hardly well struck but it got a deflection which wrong footed the keeper. Straight away Izaguirre went to sleep and a shot from DU was blocked by Bailly with his foot. Allan dived in later giving away a stupid free kick and the goalie had to make the first of 2 decent saves. Both Ambrose and Izaguirre did little to ease fears for the 2nd leg on Tuesday. It is very difficult to envisage Celtic keeping a clean sheet with these two both being accidents waiting to happen. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

salty Posted August 25, 2015 Share Posted August 25, 2015 Malmo 2 Celtic 0 (Malmo 4-3 agg) Celtic looked decent enough early on. They had a good deal of possession and looked like they could cause problems.But Malmo went ahead in the 22nd minute from their 1st corner. Rosenberg stormed in to head home. Very poor defending by Celtic. They seemed to deflate Celtic and they never looked dangerous after that. They were robbed of an equaliser just before HT when a Malmo defender handled the ball from a corner and Bitton forced it home. The ref gave a free out. You would have expected Celtic to come out fighting for the 2nd half being only behind on the away goal at that stage but the defence was showing all its usual ability to go to sleep. Gordon made 2 excellent saves but just as you sighed with relief Malmo increased the lead from another corner. 3 of their 4 goals in the tie came from corner kicks. There was still nearly 40 minutes to play and Malmo strolled through them without a moments worry. Celtic were dreadful in this period. Slow and deliberate passing without any sign of imagination gave the Swedes an easy ride.Bitton making a series of stupid fouls was lucky to stay on until he was eventually hauled off. You might have expected Van Dijk to be pushed forward to try to get something back and make Malmo sweat a little but Celtic could have been there till Christmas and not scored. There is no doubt the better team went through. Malmo were far better when they had possession and moved the ball quickly and with imagination.Celtic are lacking in quality in several positions. With all the signs that Van Dijk will be off the prospects for the Europa League do not look good. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe you need to spend more money if you want to compete in CL next year. Europa next. Build on the back line as it is in tatters. Remove the non-performing Norwegian manager too. The team coming out for the second half obviously had no up-lifting talk during the break. Lifeless, and we were in with a chance at that stage. Bye Ronny.

salty Posted August 26, 2015 Share Posted August 26, 2015 Not sure I agree with you CB. IMO it's a kneejerk opinion to blame Ronny for the sides shortcomings. He is not the greatest manager in the world but I see little merit in changing now. I felt some of his pre match comments were way too optimistic and he will be under added scrutiny from now on.

Have a gander at the article on 'Celtic News Now' on fb. Under the heading 'I Take Responsibility' by Ronny Deila. Lot of comments, including the article itself, blame him. He's no Lennon. Not even a half-price Lennon. He's not motivating the side. That was plain to see when the bhoys came out for the second half. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
balo Posted August 26, 2015 Share Posted August 26, 2015 I think you need to give the manager a chance to show what the team can do in the the Europa League. Ronnys worst nightmare would probably be to meet another Scandinavian team there , Rosenborg FC who impressed in the qualifications. If Celtic do not impress against weaker teams in Europe I think he will not stay manager for a long time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
