Celtic v Elfsborg - CL Qualifier - Wednesday 31 July 19.45pm (NOT ON TV)

there was 57k there, thousands were left disappointed when they couldn't get tickets tonight and had to go home, folk were camping out last night ffs

 

Poor game against a poor team not willing to play good football we will be fine next week every game we will get stronger.

 

40,153 according to BBC. Good attendance.

 

Lazio are pretty * and have been for a good few years now

 

40k is good considering it wasn't on the season ticket and the Cliftonville game was only last week.

 

they're no as * as actual fecal matter but ffs wit

 

There not as good as us . We shood have players capable of doing the job against them . So would people be * off if we played 17games then drew a big team who never started there season n we got beat 1 0 away we would be happy against a bigger team . The clean sheet is a big bonus i know that its more the chances we created there was few people say we need a striker need to create chances for him to score as well

 

We played well. Good result, should have been more. We're not match fit and they are. A better team could have put it to us in the break but I thought we showed good commitment and decent formation with good attacking intent down the wings. izzy played well. Motm IMO. We have lost class in Wanyama and Hooper leaving but the 17m should get us another striker on top of Balde and the new Dutch duo. Might end up keeping the money in the bank though cos the way things are going with the SPL it's looking a little bleak.

 

Elfsborg would destroy Helsinki though.

 

Will balde ever play ? Lol

 

Watched it on hahasport.com, poor first half. Much better from us in second half. Sammy, commons were good. Rest were ok. We played the long ball a bit too much, but about five mins before the goal we were passing it on the deck much better. I think we will score in second leg and hopefully first. Still think we will get thru just need better tempo and passing. Game at weekend will hopefully bring us on. Obviously we NEED A STRIKER and MIDFIELDER. Take our chances and we will be ok.

 

Nothing to worry about, clean sheet, goal and we didn't play our best. Better that than a 1-0 domination.

 

Just back form the game thought the attendance looked good except for the closed stand everywhere was pretty much full, atmosphere was good as well. Didnt think the goal was coming lol we werent at our best and we looked dodgy in defence at times but Elfborg were * so i didnt think they would get a goal.

Oh and Mo Banguras a * :smiley-laughing002:

 

theres no reason why balde should have started.

 

Never says start , thought maybe on abt 70mins gave us another option up front before we scored

 

Yeah but he should at least have played the last ten minutes.

 

Good result. 2-0 would have been fantastic but not gonna be greedy. The clean sheet was vital and there is no doubt if we had another few games under our belt before this game the result would have been alot more comfortable. The game at the weekend should get us right up to speed and I think we have a goal or two in us over in Sweden.

 

Puzzled about balde not getting any game time as well, maybe he is struggling with fitness? I would have hooked stokes and put Amido on, Stokes was rotten.

 

Any interview from Sir Neil yet? I'm interested in his Bangura's comments

 

I was disapointed with Mulgrew coming on and then Balde not coming on...Mulgrew is a crosser...Balde is an Aerial threat. Just made sense to put them both on. Decent result nonetheless
