Celtic v Hapoel Tel Aviv [all match chat in here]

No need to be cheeky, the rules state no text speech it would do you well to read the rules.

 

Your doing yourself no favours pal.

Like I say, you picked out my post and replied to it and I had no idea what you were on about.

Still don't

 

You taking the * ,your on a match chat thread ,so what do you think the topic is ?.

 

Better performance first half although not great in the second.
Thought Zaluska's kicking tonight was really poor, Hinkel didn't seem to do much and Fox needs to get back to his former self. Thought Robson was pretty decent even though I wouldn't play him in that position.
Although I will never understand Mowbray's substitutions, McGeady for Naylor, how does Naylor strengthen the team? Some of his subs you have to admit are terrible.

 

Again I cant apologise enough for my shocking txt wooops text speak. As I was saying if anyone wants to discuss the actual game and not my shocking grammer, good performance but I agree with most posts taking off samaras was a mistake, Mcdonald has no future with mowbray and his performances show that, as i said before i have spent a good amount of time in scott's company and he doesn't come across as the moaning faced * that you see on tv. We need a midfield that can pick a pass to a a forward that makes good runs.

 

I thought we played very well tonight. We controlled the game from start to finish, and I reckon N'Guemo and Crosas should be our first pick centre midfield now. Barry Robson was terrific tonight and drove us on with bottle and purpose, he really does play with his heart. His free kick was masterly.

I think Mowbray must be very near to his settled side now. I also thought Zaluska was very sound in goal.

 

Anybody have a video of the entire match or at least some highlights?

 

played awrite still not convinced that hapoel really gave it there all tonight but if they did then im shocked they finished top of the group they werent up to much. still a suppose it could start a run of good results if this gave the players the confidence boost they needed

 

Good first half, some nice passing but i'd like to see us keep it longer in the final third and not panic as much. Nguemo doesnt have a clue if hes got the ball in the final 3rd. He either runs into too many players or takes a horrible shot. We were fairly solid defensively but again a bit more composure at times we panic. Should have had a couple more goals Fortune has no
composure in front of goal and McDonald took a lazy shot at the end there.

I think the Europa came a year too early, 3 or 4 quality signings and i think we'd do ok.

 

ZALUZKAThought he was solid again and has done enough to keep boruc out 8

Hinkel Not his old self not getting forward much and was getting raped by there winger all match 6

caldwell On the whole decent performance but everytime a player runs at him he seems to get the mcmanus syndrome and start backing off only to lose the guy hinkel and n'guemo saved him a couple of times .7

loovens Never seen much of him tonight but when you got a clean sheet that's a good thing LOOVENS!!!! 7

foxCan't say he was any better than hinkel in attack but more compatent in defence had his usual shakey moment but on the whole, well is he really any better than naylor?6

mcgeady Again he was one of our best players (particularly the first half) showing the form of the 3 in a row season and more at the moment 8

crosas Controled the midfield along with n'guemo and has a decent range of pass quiet but effective 7

N'guemo Top man, I think he could well be our best signing in years he wins the ball back and reads the game so well .9MOTM

Robson I think we played really well tonight and he was one of the reasons why, Got back and went forward well and kept posession pretty well too . Night capped off by fantastic free kick .7

mcdonald movement immense tonight harried defenders till the end but should have scored with only the keeper to beat 8

samaras movement caused problems and can't be faulted for commitment wasn't at his best but if he keeps scoring he keeps starting simple as that . 7

fortune- won the free kick for robson and should have scored himself . He keeps getting into brilliant positions but with no composure to finish or make the final pass . Think we should stick with him looks a player when he gets confidence.6

naylor- no time to make an impact5

mowbray Team selection spot on tonight has to be commended for that. Perfect balance with robson on one wing and mcgeady on the other and has found his best strike pairing too in sammy and skippy

 

All this a bit silly regarding full stops etc... unfortunately not all members are going to be "C" grade students in English.

Fair enough Text talk but to start on people through grammar/punctuation ???

Missed the game tonight through a crap stream, cant comment on individual performances

 

Hinkel was ok, up against a class opponent, Fox was poor, mcgeady 1st half was brilliant, second half I can't believe mccourt wasnt brought on. That substitution amazed me.

Good Game Mates
I see now that you gave Hapoel more respect, and with the help of the fans you certenly showed us you deserve to be in the next level.
Better luck next time

 

Whats it got to do with you ,and why are you questioning a Moderators decision .its in the rules if you care to look.

 

His grammar didn't bother me, I just didnt have a scooby what he was on about and I said it might help me understand if he stuck in a full stop every now and then.

 

He strengthens it defensively imo, hold onto your lead like we haven't done in a good number of games this season! Besides McGeady had a poor second half anyway!

 

Are you the ex-girlfriend of McGeady lol

Paul Caddis should be getting on in games like that not NAYLOR

 

No he is my uncle’s nephew tho…. I don’t know if anyone could say he was good in the 2<SUP>nd</SUP> half? He was in the first but done nothing in the 2<SUP>nd</SUP> half!<?xml:namespace prefix = o ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-comfficeffice" /><o></o>

Some of the gloss was taken off a good 1st half performance by the nervy 2nd half display, overall we did well though and deserved to win, probably by more than 2 goals too.

 

At least we're looking better now, even though we're out of Europe. A string of victories would be nice.
