Celtic Vs Sporting Lisbon Live Here

Pitch looks tiny.. A pitch where a keeper has a chance of scoring from a clearance..

 

not liking the pitch looks like the ball is sticking to it. gony be a few goals tonight i think

 

Live blog of the game from the tv channel showing the game in the US..Link

 

These american commentators seem to have a better grasp of the game than the seattle sounders commentators. (probs spoke too soon) lol

 

Fortune is as static as a statue.

 

samras is have a good game so far

 

Apart from when he's been making decent runs and waiting for a decent pass , nearly got one from Samaras there..

Apart from when he picked the ball up 20 yards from goal , turned round and ran it back into our half... Showing a lot of energy though , as if the possibility of a move has got him desperate to prove his worth to Lenny..

 

Pitch is mental lol. Legendary stadium though even i've heard of it and im from springburn lol.

 

Fortune off injured.. McGowan on..

 

:icon_mrgreen:Big * Donkey off good stuff .

 

Lol. Donkey of the first degree Fortune :bbpd::bbpd:

 

talking of donkeys.. welcome to the thread holy pope.. your in good company with venglos to compliment one another..

 

Cheer's got bored of yer Maw ,

 

Oh dear Sammy.. Just as well your names not Fortune or you'd be getting it tight for missing the target from there..

For a major gobshite you've had a good innings on Talk Celtic..

Should have been 1-0 to us through Forrest.. Keeper saved..

Should have been 1-0 seconds later on the counter attack to Lisbon but cleared off the line by Loovens who's having a decent game and showing a bit of fight for a change..

Poor first half that got better after the 25 minute mark..

Started off slow with the defence looking like they just met..
The same problems resurfacing with hopefull passes rather than playing it to a team mate.. Mulgrew conceded posession and then conceded a corner from the following move when he could have done better..
Likwise Mark WIlson giving the ball away a few times when under no pressure and O'Dea back to his "no nonsense" defending when he's happy to put a cross from a corner behind for another corner when nobody is pressuring him..
Fortune picked up an injury about 35 minutes in and was off the pitch when Brown burst forward and had to take the shot on.. A few decent chances.. Fortune got to the byeline and shot from a tight angle which the keeper put behind for a corner.. Sammy had a good chance but put it wide and Forrest worked the keeper..
Not a lot to do at the back but noticeable that Loovens has been told to be more aggressive with one clean tackle getting a good reception from the fans.. 0-0 HT

 

Play nice

 

These commentators actually have alot of knowledge about are team,

 

No changes for us at half time..

Greasy jesus Pedro Mendes is off for Lisbon..
They've got Maniche , Liedson and Sinama Pongolle amongst a number of others on at the break.. (according to the Scottish commentar on CH67)

 

extremely bright start!!!

 

Brown gets his boot to the ball and gets booked.. nothing in that..

Hooiveld and Misun warming up apparently..

Begs the question if they are fit to play some of the game then could they not have started this game as they finished the last match really well..

Rogne on for Loovens..


Scott Brown and the ref definately not on the same wavelength but he's controlling the midfield...

With 30 minutes sill to play I'd be tempted to replace him , especially if a ban from a red card in a friendly carries forward to domestic games but Im not sure if it does..
Im sure Rooney had a ban carried on from a friendly a couple of years back but might be different circumstances..

If there's no goals it goes to penalties..

 

where has everyone gone? lol
