"Snow you say...???"When I lived in the Cotswolds we had one inch of snow and it hit the headlines in Australia! A mate in Aus messaged me saying are you OK mate? It's a fucking inch of snow pal it's hardly Siberia!
I had to take the missus somewhere that night (she's English so was mystified that I could drive in this unknown white slippy stuff) we ended up on this long up hill stretch just keeping traction then the arsehole at the front of the line decided to stop half way up the hill to take a photo of the snow! Cue carnage! I got us home I recon some of them are still stuck there, that was 10 years ago!
Well here's the thing ...I actually thought he was a Hun troll... nothing to do with intelligence or stooping to decpicable levels...read two of his comments and they sounded rather hunnish to myself..you see there's over 3000 members on this forum now so it's pretty hard to keep track of genuine member s and reprobate trolls...but judging by the comments of other fellow noisers I've made a rather rash judgement of a fellow noiser and for that I am deeply sorry....but I do stick by my opinion ..saying that it was a disgusting performance by the team tonight is a pretty disgusting thing to say from a Celtic supporter...but that's just my opinion of courseCalling somebody a hun is the laziest form of response. It shows the person making the accusation has nothing intelligent to say and so stoops to a despicable insult. A hun on here would be barely unable to contain their glee tonight and would so out themselves rather quickly. They aren't known for their intelligence or subtlety after all; just like hunsetters.
I had the keys of a house to do a quote today, they had a wee black kitten, I just played with the kitten for an hour and took photos of her, im fucked if I know what I'm meant to quote for! Something to do with a cistern and a light fitting I think, I'll need to make up something plausible tomorrow"Snow you say...???"
Got to agree Mag7, I said to my daughter you can almost tell if Abada is gonna have an off night very early in the game. Feel pretty much the same with Rogic. And yes, if our wingers don't contribute, we struggle big time.Knew after 5 mins Abada wouldn't contribute tonight....its not his fault he is that type of player...very inconsistent. Wasn't surprised at Jota either as wingers are very inconsistent...but it becomes a problem in Celtic’s system if both are off it in the same game as was the case tonight. Thankfully we saw both on it against the deid club. Just my thoughts
It's on a par with the glorious results we achieved against Cluj, Aek Athens and Sparta Prague's reserve team in recent years.Sorry, Absolutely a Riddy hate tae say but yip pure embarrassing performance from the 'tic.
You are correct LC20, it's not good enough. I think maybe we should just stop and draw breath though. We are still in the early stages of a major rebuild, and while it really isn't all that difficult to be the best team in a pretty poor league; it is an entirely different matter when we step up a level or two. The opposition tonight were better than us all over the park. We very obviously still have much to do.It's on a par with the glorious results we achieved against Cluj, Aek Athens and Sparta Prague's reserve team in recent years.
We have gone from a club that was beating Europe's best ( at home anyway ) in the Champions League to tonight's, Bobo Glimpse fargo of nonsense.
It's not good enough.
Is that because we lost one game from the last 20 odd....just looked at you team there...only player who hasn't been criticised yet from that line up is ....well er em...everyone of them ....its what we do .Next week I would make a few changes...I'd revert to a 4:4:2
I'd start
Hart
Ralston Julien carter scales
Juranovic Callum Bitton o' Reilly
Maeda Jackie
No idea why though...just because!
Ah yes, Julien because he scores goals from set pieces and we get plenty of them
Hope you're right Winter, and yes I agree, we can, and probably will, play better. But I also believe they can also play better . If I'm being honest, I have concerns regarding our defence at this level.Everybody and their granny knew beforehand bodo/glimt are a good side.
let's be honest here though in the 90th minute theyd had 4 shots on target and winning 3-1. We had 5 or 6 shots on target that game when does that ever happen at CP?
This was not a result of magnificent defending by them but rather a lack of cohesion in the final 3rd and our midfield . Ange got it wrong for me tonight from the get go benching our shining light star man of the moment hatate and going with 2 rogic and orielly in the middle meant we were practically giving possession away unnecessarily. Both are creative technical players and I'm really surprised that Ange would choose this game to try that midfield pairing out with a last 16 berth on offer. The fact he replaced both backs that up I believe. Tonight showed that the players are still lacking the cohesion of our rotation system and Ange is still yet to know our best starting XI. Contrary to the commentators view the 3-1 ,flattered bodo yes they were comfortable on the ball , didnt panic and kept the ball well, but they did that in their own half. I wouldnt write Celtic out just yet , we all know what we are capable of and if we can score 3 in Spain, 3 in Hungary 2 in Germany then we can do that in Norway. So many of our big game players off their game and it sucked the positive energy out of the stadium. They got the breaks and we didnt. It's the poorest weve played for a while yet we werent poor like last season poor.
Our build up play was good but the final ball just wasn't there. .
Maeda I felt sorry for he was so isolated but one of the few who gets pass marks on the night.
GG is so frustrating , once more caught offside time and again he really needs to work on that its every game now recently hes being caught offside 5 and 6 times a match.
Were very obviously missing Kyogo.
Extremely disappointing but count us out at your peril, 3 score first up there and its game on again. .
Bodo/glimt are having their best ever season in Europe and hopefully they think this games done and dusted it's not.
Cant remember when last we had so few shots on target in a home game.
Too many just didn't turn up .
Even at 2nil I thought we were still in the game got the goal that woke up the stadium only for them to get the rub of the green and a huge deflection to rub it in .
As off our game as we were, we're still in the tie. Hh
As always you are a voice of reason on here Frank. I probably need to calm down, it's been a while since I was this disappointed and frustrated by a Celtic performance.You are correct LC20, it's not good enough. I think maybe we should just stop and draw breath though. We are still in the early stages of a major rebuild, and while it really isn't all that difficult to be the best team in a pretty poor league; it is an entirely different matter when we step up a level or two. The opposition tonight were better than us all over the park. We very obviously still have much to do.
The way I see it frank is were in it til were not. This is not the first time in recent times we've had to go up there and win and weve done that. 1 early goal turns this tie back on its head again . Who saw any of the 2 results coming? Not I and we are good enough to tackle this side our problems were of our own making let's hope the team can return the favour up northHope you're right Winter, and yes I agree, we can, and probably will, play better. But I also believe they can also play better . If I'm being honest, I have concerns regarding our defence at this level.
Perhaps I'll feel a bit more optimistic after a nights kip, but I'm struggling to see a road back for us in this competition.
Spot on Frank ....don't expect progression in Europe but might actually work for this seasons objectives which have already been exceeded. Winning the League for me would be exceptional. Still feels like a long way off and a seriously tough challenge.Hope you're right Winter, and yes I agree, we can, and probably will, play better. But I also believe they can also play better . If I'm being honest, I have concerns regarding our defence at this level.

Feckin good 2 1/2 hours to get home tonight they decide to close part of motorway to cut trees down the night 60k trying to get homeI watched his interview with his Aussie sports TV buddies and was impressed but what did stick in my mind was Ange insistence that he has no plan B. I think that is clear. But we need to try and realise we are only two transfer windows in so plan A is still a long way away ...plan B means if plan A doesn't work in Ange times then we just need to accept we can't win every fecking game. But we will win most.
You leave fucking gloves out of thisBet they don't wear wee gay gloves!
(I didn't mean gay in a bad way, gay is great, gay is wonderful, my emphasis was on the gloves not the gay, sorry for saying gay. Fuck it I'll never get this woke culture)
CornersPossession doesn't mean wins, and corners for us, are woeful
Better team won tonight, they took their chances, we didn't
Team selection from the start didn't look balanced
They crowded us out on the left, Jota and Taylor had their worst games imho
They got a break with the deflected goal, but our defence was all over the place tonight
Their keeper is out of the return leg, so who knows maybe that will help
Straw grasping anyone ?
HH
You deserve a wee shout out Frank (sorry for embarrassing you probably the last thing you need) but you're a great addition to the Noise mate, wise, balanced, honest, respected by everyone, one could say the opposite of STG, Docco or me! Anyway respect to you brother.Hope you're right Winter, and yes I agree, we can, and probably will, play better. But I also believe they can also play better . If I'm being honest, I have concerns regarding our defence at this level.

What separates us from huns is our capacity for free thought and expression. Don't like somebody's opinion challenge them on the opinion.Well here's the thing ...I actually thought he was a Hun troll... nothing to do with intelligence or stooping to decpicable levels...read two of his comments and they sounded rather hunnish to myself..you see there's over 3000 members on this forum now so it's pretty hard to keep track of genuine member s and reprobate trolls...but judging by the comments of other fellow noisers I've made a rather rash judgement of a fellow noiser and for that I am deeply sorry....but I do stick by my opinion ..saying that it was a disgusting performance by the team tonight is a pretty disgusting thing to say from a Celtic supporter...but that's just my opinion of course
