SPFL Huns V The Champions Sunday may 4th kick off 12 PM Sky sports football

No apology

 

Why is Souness in the nude?

 

* that * Nick Walsh btw.

Second half he killed any chance of a football match whistling every second cunting minute.

 

At least he allowed the VAR decision

 

Walsh killed us today...non stop blowing for soft fouls against only one team.

 

I don’t think we deserved to win BUT what an opportunity we blew to score the winner with the last kick of the ball.

 

oh the blue room is bare

 

Funny how this rag of a newspaper can pinpoint a Celtic fan singing yet can't find someone lobbing a bottle at one of our players or spot 50,000 hun fans singing the billy boys and no pope of Rome etc.

 

Think it's from a Sevco fan's footage. Not too clever from the guy with so many cameras around tbh.

 

Perhaps one of our fans should have videoed anyone of their fans singing their sectarian/racist * and see if the Sun would print it in the same way they did with this

 

I agree with you on that, they get away with that all the time, just stuff like this is always gonna get singled out.

 

In fairness, he is the only one actually facing the scum.and singing at the time, so he wasn't too hard to pick out...

 

Disagree! It's a scummy thing to do, and none of our fans should tolerate it, even when it's reversed... What we should do though is issue the statement in carefully couched language pointing straight back to the assaults/attempts on our people that initiated it...

 

Just in from the pub. Still concerned about the amount of headers they won in our box. We handled it better in he second half.

 

Apart from banning them from Celtic Park the SFA should either fine them or refuse their licence to play in Europe for 1 season at a minimum.
If that happens and they appeal and win then Celtic should make a complaint to UEFA.

 

There's not a chance in * that thr SFA will do either and even less a chance our board will utter a word about it - again

 

It's now imperative that we make good signings in the summer because let's be honest we've been very lucky that the Huns have struggled so badly against the bottom ten and they'll no doubt get more in in the summer.

I'm really glad we don't have to face them in the cup final because the way we've played against them this season I wouldn't be confident of winning the cup against them. We were lucky against them in the league cup final.

 

They will be aware of the club's history, so I don't think they walk away.

 

So had a chance to take the emotion out of the game now. Here's how I see it.

Today was a good result for us. It's a result I think many of us would've taken at the start of the game to halt their derby momentum. Even more so when we saw the starting line-up and realised how understrength we were down the wide areas. I'm firmly of the opinion that had Johnston, Jota, and Kuhn been fit today then we would've had enough to get the job done. It was quite clear, however, that we were really limited down both sides.

People having a real go at the midfield, and I would wholeheartedly agree that we need a more aggressive CDM in there for the games against better teams next season. But I actually thought the midfield was okay today. Hatate, Engels and McGregor weren't at their very best, but we were a lot more competitive than we have been in recent times. Certainly a massive improvement on our last visit to Ibrox, which admittedly was a really low bar.

We managed to move the ball easily enough and I actually thought we were the better team for long spells. We were tidy enough without managing to be explosive enough in the final 3rd. Kuhn and Jota being absent was a major problem here. As for Forrest, I thought he played well but really needed Johnston's ability and engine alongside him to be a bit more productive. Felt at times it was a one-man show from him down the right with Ralston hesitant to commit on the overlap.

Fair play to Adam Idah by the way. I was on here giving him pelters at half-time for the miss. But this was a much better all-round performance from him again. Held the ball up well and won plenty of aerial battles. Think he was a key reason we were picking up so many second-balls compared to the last derby. Also takes his goal superbly. Even without the deflection, that effort looked like it was whizzing in. Sensational touch to set himself up to which he'll barely get any credit for. Yes he missed the one on one in the first half and should've played in Forrest early on, but he was much more of a threat today than other games against the huns.

Sinisalo had the square root of * all to do save-wise outside of the one near the end from Raskin. But even so managed to play with a lot of confidence and wouldn't have known that it was his first derby. Deserved a clean sheet from it because he was assertive in everything he did.

Here's the truth. Ibrox isn't a place we just strut into now and laugh our way to a 4-0 win. Yes we all have our overly-confident pre-match predictions, but we've only won once there in over 3 years. We don't tend to hammer them either unless it's a really good day at Parkhead. We go there and it's a * war now.

I thought we met that challenge today. Should've won it too and had Daizen just lifted the head, we would've done. Had we nicked it, I think everyone is talking about today's performance a lot differently.

I mainly just didn't want to see another weak derby performance. I wanted us to show we could combat them and actually stand up to their physicality. I saw that today, even though it wasn't a win. A good result in the end.

Sorry for the essay like response but just venting my thoughts on the game haha.

 

I keep laughing at them saying the new owners nothing has been signed and they don't look like they will get to buy every share its the same when they call DD the owner of Celtic which he isn't just has a lot of shares and influence over others to do his bidding
