[imposs1904]

Lots of this on X/Twitter right now. Delicious.

Michael Beale will soon be nothing other than a difficult pub quiz question. Who was Michael Beale? I'll have to hurry you teams....

Take away from the game is that these two are the weakest old firm for years and both sides way out of sorts. Important psychological win for Celtic. I can see Beale drifting back into obscurity before Christmas at this rate- his tribute act are utterly woeful.

Apparently we have never won our opening Champs League match. Heres hoping we finally change that tonight.

[starfish]

Well that was disappointing.

 

[Fedayn]

Can't remember enjoying a game so much at Livingstone. Maeda's goal was class.

 

[Pickman's model]

I see the huns have sacked beale.

 

[imposs1904]

I laughed. (If you know, you know.)

 

[starfish]

Hoping for a repeat result of a few years ago

 

[starfish]

That was cruel.

 

[imposs1904]

Wonderful goal by Hatate today.

 

[starfish]

Good win against the Jambos. Can we play like that tonight though?

Watching this. What a brilliant half of football! Both teams going for it. Hope Celtic can keep it up.


Also Hartson is a master at stating the obvious.

 

[technical]

Maeda has never stopped running.

 

[technical]

Great game to watch. Celtic ran out of steam a bit and a shame they couldn’t build any momentum when athletico went down to ten men

Very much so. Its an improvement though.

Also players like Kyogo, what a goal btw, had been subbed off before their red so we were lacking in any kind of 'guile/craft' (apologies for that punditry shite there) to be able to take advantage of the extra man. But what a fucking game

I fear a hammering.

[starfish]

Well that was a bit shite. Started to go wrong when Hart punched rather than caught the ball from that early corner.

 

[imposs1904]

I fear a hammering.

I should have put a bet on. I could have dried my tears with five pound notes.

Im blaming you

Celtic AGM coming up, the current board will point to the very healthy bank balance, pat themselves on the back, re-elect themselves with Desmond's voting shares, ignore yet more humiliation in Europe, being papped out of the League Cup. Then, without a pause for thought, humility or breath, trot out the myth that the real problem a Celtic is the 300 or so season ticket holders in the standing section....

 

[starfish]

I suppose someone had to take a thumping in response to midweek. Aberdeen have been on the receiving end of a few over the years.

 

[starfish]

COYBIG

Come on. We just need one chance.

 

[starfish]

Well that was a bugger. Holding our own till the 82nd minute. Then 2 soft goals.

 

[starfish]

Bollox to Killie & their plastic pitch.

 

[Pickman's model]

can we just fast forward to rodgers being sacked and a decent manager coming in?
