well done bhoys. i was looking at the table lastnight [position 22 i think] and was thinking if you can get a point, prob move up the table.
'In the absence of defensive lynchpin Cameron Carter-Vickers, Liam Scales and Auston Trusty stood up with towering displays at the heart of the defence. Those two were standouts in a tremendous collective effort.'
why don't we play 3 in central defence for big guns away games? maybe 5 at the back
[aston villa were top last night = a difficult tie away]
currently 21st and ahead of bayern and milan, on level points with psg
3 down 5 to go |
Option J - A Draw!
Lololololol! |
Champions League again tomorrow so its hiding behind the sofa time.
No doubt Brendan will play his usual 0-0-10 formation so we will obviously lose. The question is by how many?
The options are:-
A - Celtic to lose by 9 or more goals
B - Celtic to lose by 8 goals
C - Celtic to lose by 7 goals
D - Celtic to lose by 6 goals
E - Celtic to lose by 5 goals
F - Celtic to lose by 4 goals
G - Celtic to lose by 3 goals
H - Celtic to lose by 2 goals
I - Celtic to lose by 1 goal
I think we may surprise some people and do better than expected so I'll go for option F. |
2pts dropped by celt and aber, 3 by rang.
rang yet to play aber |
'Celtic left it late to come from behind against Ross County and bounce back from their Dortmund drubbing, while maintaining their 100% start to the Scottish Premiership season. Brendan Rodgers had asked for his players to “bounce back even higher” from their midweek Champions League dismantling. But Celtic barely got off the ground for the first 70 minutes, and were given a lesson by County on how to set up against a superior side. The hosts' resoluteness and discipline was gilded by Ronan Hale's first-half penalty.'

there's little point in going to the falkirk or ross dressing room post game, if you don't learn anything!

av beat bayern, celtic will have their work cut out in jan |
It's after mid-day and still no news that Rodgers has been sacked. What are they waiting on?
You’re an embarrassment to British football' Celtic destroyed by English shock jock Jason Cundy
The Englishman put the boot into the Hoops after their Dortmund mauling in the Champions League
hxxps://www.dailyrecord.co.uk/sport/football/football-news/celtic-dortmund-cundy-embarrassment-33800549 |
So how come Sparta Prague can get a 1-1 draw at Stuttgart and we get demolished 7-1 by Dortmund.
This is one humiliation too many and IMO Rodgers should be sacked in the morning. He's had more than enough chances. |
back down to earth with a bump |
as celtic prepare to take on dortmund [last season finalists], its worth recapping on the ange squad that chose to find bigger plays elsewhere, from the back,
juranovic- starfeldt-
o'riley
abada-giakoumakis-jota
[excluded: hart, mooy, rogic, turnball; they retired, saw out long service, or fell down the pecking order] |
should celtic and rangers be reduced to one home tie per side in each of fa cup and league cup? [maybe, max 2 home tie for the clubs finishing at 3 and 4, the prev season?]
for example, celtic are drawn at home in the last 16 of the league cup - they are given the option of accepting it as per draw or they decline it and redraw as the away team - they would decline in the hope of getting a home tie in later round against stronger side, but that home draw tie would not be guaranteed [ie, the q-f, as the semis are at hampden]

will the front 3 of the 6 be changed at half time?
no maeda on the bench - kyogo, engels, kuhn?
'The fringe players have not impressed against this feisty Falkirk side'
'Not for the first time today Reo Hatate is caught dawdling on the ball'
'Great energy, organisation and a fully committed press. Sound familiar? Falkirk are doing a very good impression of Celtic here and are well worth a share of the spoils thus far.' |
quick take a snap shot of cl table while the bhoys are second! |
Enjoyed that immensely. How much is a champions league win worth now?
Engels looks to me like a midfield version of Van Dijk. He's an absolute Rolls Royce of a midfielder. If he keeps playing like that I doubt he'll be here next season. He'll be off to the Premiership for £45M |

'Mooy, who joined Celtic in the summer from Chinese side Shanghai Port, also has the second-highest number of assists among the Scottish Premiership's central midfielders, with six, and has created 26 chances in total for his team-mates. Matt O'Riley, David Turnbull and new signing Tomoki Iwata are struggling for game time, such has been the form of Mooy alongside captain Callum McGregor and Japan player Reo Hatate in midfield.'
