[Official TC Thread] Celtic v Hibernian, League Cup Semi-Final. 21/10/17. 12.15 KO

Brown was quality today! Picked up the pieces from everyone's mistakes, boyata was quality defensively.... Was never a peno! His distribution is brutal and we know that so the likes of Armstrong brown, whoever is infront of him needs to drop back to take the ball from him more. Thought bitton was terrible, lustig was good at RB but think Rodgers should be looking at having him CB and Gamboa out right or ajer at CB cause bitton gives me the fear... I will * myself if he gets a start in Europe. Dembele fantastic, Forrest also did a lot of chasing down when he came on... Very slack performance but in fairness there's a couple of changes to the side every week due to our amount of games... Think we need to have a more constant starting 11

 

Spot on mate, big moussa s finish for 2nd was quality but thought the big mans awareness of knowing Sinclair was offside and shouting has to be commended as well

 

Would like to see kouassi more too... I like ntcham even though he's still a bit "raw" has a few mistakes in him but I honestly think kouassi is better, quality player

 

We were quite slack and never really looked up for it but were comfortable until the penalty. Some of the players were poor though, especially Roberts and Forrest, I thought get Roberts off at HT for Forrest as he wasnt doing anything then Forrest came on and was pish for a good 20 minutes, first couple of touches were shocking he looked like he never wanted to be on but did better nearer the end.

McGregor I thought played well.

 

Apparently winter has arrived in Game of Thrones

 

Boyata never got the ball clearly. But still don't think it was a pen Hibs player run into him

 

Your right mate, but see when he punts it, Griffiths loses every heider to the opposing defender, again a plus at least when he punts it with moussa he wins the header
Take nothing away from Griffiths wee man s been brilliant for us but needs a break

Jesus * *

 

all pundits giving it celtic below par * our players have been at international CL SPFL games and havent had a minute to rest. today they were brilliant to keep up their stamina given the games we have had to play.HH.

 

They’ve got * all ammunition to use against Celtic, ffs, unbeaten domestically for 60 odd games, qualified for CL group stages x2, a Scotland team with seven (7) hoops in it very nearly beat the auld enemy & they nit pick over a 4:2 semi final victory after a draining encounter with one of Europe’s greatest club teams.
We are not just streets ahead we are in a different * hemisphere & the * don’t like it. GIRFUY.

 

Anyone point out what page the post match stuff is on I wanty listen to craigen cry

 

Bang on mate re- Griffiths and paddy
A love paddy but you get cuntz at the game " wee paddy can do no wrong and wee Jamesty can do no right ", a know a lot of people say "nae pressure on the bhoy when we did a 60 odd page thread on" bring paddy back ", but the bhoy s just turned 20, he is a great wee player but a feel at moment he's too desperate to show us his beautiful dribbling skills that he tries to take a man on too many and ends up losing it a lot

 

I thought it was a fun game to watch and really highlighted what we probably already knew - that we can score goals but our defence is very shaky.

Good to see Dembele getting involved again and hopefully he will start playing again as I think Griffiths must be due a rest.

And good efffort overall given the number of games we are playing. But the defence is screaming out to be strengthened and it is clear that we can get away with it in scotland but not in Europe.

 

People can say what they want, another win and another final!

The mighty Hoops go marching on! Hail Hail the Celts are here what the * do we care!

 

That whistling every time we score at Hampden annoys me was clear as day on the Youtube video then

 

State a that * waloper

"Hoot's mon man ken eh! Al nae be takin onymare a that pish aff a rat Sellik crowd, eh? Ya shower a buftees!"

 

Gerry Adams over watching the game.
