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

Just back from the game. Forrest was so frustrating for me tonight, kept drifting into the middle of the park when it was crying out for him to stay out wide and receive the ball. Not the best of games but the bottom line is we're one nil up. Here's hoping it's enough going into the 2nd leg.

 

There was nothing in it, slight brush of the cheek if that. I was the way he waited a moment then went down like a sack of spuds that * me off, he was trying to get Wilson sent off.

 

im happy enough with that result, need to be positive right from the off next week, get the first goal and that should see us through.

 

It sounded like a bit of banter but I was actually concerned about it before the game. You don't know if everyone involved was doing it as banter though, we can never no that. People did turn against him though when he was down. Like I said, it looked like Wilson took two swings, one missed and the other looked like he was chinned. But I would need to see it again. It wasn't an elbow I thought I saw though, It was a hammer punch.

The point is that people have condemned him now, which might be a tad unfair. I also thought that he had a pretty decent game for them too in a hard role.

 

An early goal i hope calm down a bit there nothing special should be going threw if we play the way we can

 

Folk moaning on here. Out of all the CL qualifiers played tonight we got the best result. Not conceding an away goal was vitally important.

 

Aye the second one looked as if he got him but not to make um lie on the floor for 3mins . Times in the first half he looked sharp turnin ambrose n runin past him and oot the park lol . I was saying he should get boo'd before it but only as banter hes on loan they played him nothing we can do about it he doin his job wilson slapped him for his troubles

 

If we put as much effort in as we did tonight we should go through. The pressure is on Elfsborg.

 

I'm willing to take your word for it but it does kind of conflict with what I thought I saw. It looked like two swings. The first was a brush which makes it look like a delayed because the second chinned him. Anyway I guess it won't matter. Since it wasn't on T.V, I'm not even sure they will have video highlights of it.

Most folk are gonna give him a rough ride now anyway. Lenny might even be happy to kid rid off him.

 

say Boo that Bangura
say Boo that Bangura

 

They're going to have to chase the game over there so hopefully we'll get more chances to open them up with them pressing more

 

An early goal away should be enough of a boot in the baws to see us right. We'll need to watch the injuries. ...they are dirty scumhorses.

 

No real stand out for me tonight

Broony had a nighttmare

 

You better get yer tin hat on bhoy :icon_mrgreen:

 

It looked sore :smiley-laughing002: I thought he done a decent job holding the ball up. There was obviously a bit of needle between him and Wilson and Wilson's done his job and out him in his place. But giving the pressure of our defence he looked like he was holding the ball okay, not Hooper class obliviously but he looked decent.

'Wilson slapped him for his troubles' Brilliant, guess you can't argue with that.

 

Disappointed with that result

 

I dont think keeping a clean sheet was down to us though, Elfborg were *. We were dodgy in defence any other day they would've maybe got a goal.

 

Didn't see the game. Only going off what I read from the BBC and from Lennon & Commons post-match interviews.

Really good result tonight. Would have liked the lead to have been more comfortable heading over to Sweden, but a win and a clean sheet is what every manager dreams of in a knock-out tie at home.

Their home record is very impressive, so the tie is far from over. But if we perform in the away ties like we did last year, we should be fine.

Hail, Hail!

 

Didn`t see the game but I would have liked to go to Sweden at least 2 goals up. At least we concede the away goal
