SPFL Celtic V The Huns Sunday 16th March kick off 12:30 Sky Sports football

Think that's the horse show football that's been mentioned before. We had loads of the ball but done very little with it.

 

There was one instance where big Idah had made a brilliant run into space and AJ once again chosr to pass the ball back to CCV. It happened on several occasions but that one stuck in my mind particularly as we were chasing it at the time.

 

Broony would have leathered the two of them for starters and then turned his attention to the rest of the feckers for afters

 

He was our worst offender..

Said the same yesterday..

 

Oooft...flashback to Ange screaming on the touchline for doing * like that!

 

We will still win the league, and very likely the treble, but we need to start planning ahead for next year.
Losing nine goals in three games against the Huns is unacceptable to Celtic fans, and we still have Ibrox coming up, when we don't have the personnel in our squad to combat their midfield.
We have three offensive midfielders, they have three defensive orientated midfielders, and therein lies the problem.

 

Exactly what I did in the pub. Channeled in the inner Ange.

So many * poor phases of possession we had. This was one of the worst. Nobody to take the game by the scruff of the neck and drive us on.

 

Sime ndividual players had a shocker but our system was to blame yesterday.

It was a complete failure of system the way the Huns pressed us stopped us From playing our game, scmiechel tried to throw it long and short but they were on the player and cut his angles down and it went back the way with them encroaching on our players MORE, and us still trying to play out from the back it was really pitiful to watch.
Surely we had to to have practiced these pressing situation in training, it didn't look like it though

Of course the confidence of the team drained completely and there was no plan B and a every player struggled, complete * show.

We needed players to show character and strength and play to their best but the opposite happened we got worse until half time

But i don't think we bettered their system second half we just improved slightly but managec to get to 2-2 shouldn't have lost from there but the Huns have gotton in to our heads psychologically and we fear their pressing and we haven't really shown we can beat this.

If Rogers isn't able to and he's struggled all season against them maybe we need a new manager for next season cause ignoring how their now playing against us is like us burying our head in the sand,we have to be able to break there press or we change styles and we don't always play out from the back.
I thought we bought big idah for that but he us not a Sutton or Hartson type he doesn't use his physique he seems at this stage to be completely useless for us

 

I think your right but shouldn't directors the manager coaches and players be showing signs of improvement or is someone saying we do not have to change our style when we play them

Surely the players and everyone at the club don't like playing this bad or seeing it and how useless our system looks against the them and anyone in the future that starts to play like them as other teams will, will also cause us problems

 

Celtic Football Club has received complaints regarding the policing operation concerning yesterday’s match, specifically events away from Celtic Park.

We are reviewing our supporters’ concerns and will be looking into these issues.

It is important that these matters are addressed and the Club will be engaging in discussions with supporters and Police Scotland to understand the circumstances and events.

With regards to the match at Celtic Park, we can also confirm that the Club has raised concerns regarding members of the away team engaging with Celtic supporters with the relevant authorities.

 

Agreed. Ball probably didn't even need to go back to Schlupp either let alone Schmeichel. Hatate could have tried a one-two with McCowan there...

 

I think yesterday’s outcome should have resulted in a lot more focus on the board than the manager. Did you see our bench????

 

Get over it we lost. Not good enough on the day. Just like the Club is run. Surely this result should make * out of the ears and mouths of the Celtic fans that are happy winning a league that was won in November.

There was no hunger in the first half by us and then by the 2nd half it was let us half some toast then.

The League is in the green and white bag as the treble is about to put in. But * * plan for next season like never before.

 

Did anyone notice that Tavernier started the game 15 yards in our half. Before kick off he's already at least 15 yards ahead of the half way line.

They hump it up towards him.

The refereeing was an absolute disgrace. Loads of players should've been booked and never were.

 

Aye? I didn’t even notice, my stream froze for the kick off came back 30 seconds in and we were camped in. Was he actually? Because that start them up the pitch and us in final third like that was a big, big part of the game.

Still raging at us not having the composure to put our foot on the ball and deal with it, and we * should have. But that’s bullshit, is there a screenshot kf that?

 

They got a free kick for nothing just after kick off, and that was the start of us being camped in. Diomande should have been booked for deliberately kicking the ball away stopping us taking a quick free kick/goal kick. That was quite early on. It’s a yellow at any level of football. Raskin had a professional foul early on as well. Again it’s a yellow at any level, regardless of how long has been played. It just lets them away with them having another kick at us.

 

I’ll need to see it again but watching it at the time I thought it was a free kick and a daft one to give away. But that was the start as you said, from that moment, up until they scored, we didn’t show any composure to stop us being camped in at all.

The rest of your points? Aye, that’s fair. And what we would like to see, but that’s also part of football and we couldn’t deal with that at all.

And that side of the game honestly as much as it does my * in against us, I have an appreciation for. I love Simeone for it, when Chillieni ragdolled Saka by the shirt back in the halfway line in the Euros I loved it.

When we had Barry Robson start after two games of them bullying us and him and Hartley bitched them doing that. Martin O’Neill’s team had that in spades. Just that utter bastarding side of football.

Callum McGregor is * outstanding at that stuff, he does cynical fouls before it even breaks up the pitch to be a booking 3/4 times a game. Scott Brown is one of my favourite ever players and he was the best at that for us I’ve seen.

When we get done with * doing it to us, I will go mental. Obviously, but looking at it with a clearer head, we shouldn’t allow that to bully us and effect us that much. And we should be canny enough as players, experienced winners, to counteract it,

 

The difference is, if we tried to counteract it in a game against the *, our players would be booked for it. If the ref does his job correctly on Sunday and both Diomande and Raskin get booked after 20 minutes as they should have been, it takes a lot away from their game. We weren’t good enough on Sunday by the way, and Carter-Vickers and Johnston basically meant we weren’t playing with 9 men, but McLean is a little hun rodent who should be nowhere near our games. After the Inverness semi final, there is a few officials who should be nowhere near football. The most blatant cheating you’ll ever see.

 

McLean is, won’t argue that point. But we knew that going into it didn’t we. The wee gimp in charge of them wasn’t being subtle, too daft to even know that word, in the build up and was telling the world what we should expect.

We don’t need to be the Barry Robson elbow through Dailys skull style with that, that isn’t the approach. We didn’t do anything to react to that at all, we just panicked and felt hard done by and hid. And allowed those guys who usually make sure they don’t allow that to happen to them to get isolated, and bullied and panicking. And it was from that very first seconds of the game.

Tell you what you do when that happens, and the refs allowing it? You be a dramatic *, get them to go to far and get a * kick, you absolutely milk it without looking like you’re an overacting novice actor. Take a bump, go down, stay down slightly too long, shout about it, and keep doing it till it stops. The crowd getting on top by then, the broadcasters start to focus on it, they get frustrated with it and we’re diving * etc, they overextend it, they’ve been told aggression etc and they don’t do it in the grey areas when they get frustrated. We didn’t do anything.


And we know how to do it, this team under this manager. They’re amateurs with that * compared to Atletico Madrid and Simeone’s absolute bastardry, and we done that the 2-2 and they got a man sent off due to it.


In absolute honesty, see them playing that way, was it a surprise for you? We all knew that’d be happening, it was outright stated from Ferguson, and I will absolutely give him the credit of him when he was playing was a * * of a player at doing that. And I’ll no complain at all with it, we should be better at being able to cope at all. Because the two absolute best I’ve watched for that * week in and out, Scott Brown and Chris Sutton. I adored them for it as well. Callum McGregor has that in him when he feels its needed. And he gets slaughtered but Greg Taylor does, and its why they have frothing hatred for him.


Won’t get me arguing againdt McClean being a Hun * and its baffling how he can be allowed refereeing us, Beaton is a died in the wool Hun, and its a sad state of affairs even with that being apparent I think he’s probably the best Ref in Scotland.

But us being unaware of how to play up to the * reffing? Not reacting at all and panicking feeling hard done by with them doing it? Where you surprised at a Barry Ferguson managed team, screaming bout it all week were like that? The only * that seemed to not know was our team

 

Mate, the two most obvious bookings first half were for Diomande kicking the ball away and Raskin for deliberately pulling the jersey stopping an attack. There was nothing to roll about at. It was down to McLean to do his job properly and book both them. They are both yellows at every single level of football.
