Dundee Utd vs Celtic - 05/04/14

Solid victory.

Now it's time to take a *.

Been holding it in for the past hour.

 

big balde touch is something else lol

 

Thought the game was good, and out football was top-notch. I was a wee bit disappointed in the lull at the end, I get the feeling that we settled and stopped pressing for goals.

 

Great performance today and looking sharp which is a credit to Neil Lennon. I remember watching games in the MON era after we won the league and they regularly were below tempo with points being dropped all over the place.

Kayal and Samaras played well, much to the disappointment of some of our fans, however I will back the boys on the park, not the teamsheet I want to see.

 

I thought Ambrose played magic today.

 

Decent game, hope they can step it up next week though and show those * up.

Good three points for ourselves.

 

I used to love Balde's cameos, hate them now. It just makes him look bad because he is trying to impress Lennon and the fans with about 4 minutes of football. Just give the guy 90 mins. Good to see Mouyokolo back, met him in town when he was on his crutches a while back, very very nice guy.

 

Great game today and United really gave us a decent game.

Surprised at Sammy's new found enthusiasm.

Taking away our game with them at home at the end of the season, they need to win the rest to even have a chance of getting 3rd. Motherwells to lose unfortunately - gutted, they are * in Europe.

 

Feel really bad for Amido. 3 Minutes does the guy more harm than good and his confidence is obviously shot to pieces. Shocking man management from Lennon.

The cameos are an embarrassment now and that's no fault of Balde's.

 

I think Lenny's engaging in spot-fixing with regards to Balde's substitutions. Only plausible explanations for the poor * being given a total of about 100 minutes all season, and all in the last 10 minutes of games.

Super Efe MOTM

 

Thought Brown done well at RB, loved Kayal's energy, can't wait to see him fully fit.

 

There is only one person at fault for not being in the Cetic team and that is one Mr Amido Balde.

He's obviously not "got it" yet. Hopefully he can develop but the ball is firmly in his court.

 

You think putting him on for 3 minutes here and there is going to do him any good?

I don't know what goes on behind the scenes. What I do know is Lennon giving him these ridiculous cameos is going to * the guys confidence and as a result hamper his development.

 

The first half was really enjoyable to watch.

I thought Anthony Stokes was excellent again.

 

I don't think he done good there at all, he was caught out defensively and at speed too sometimes.

 

No.

Celtic's development of the player is completely wrong. Like Pádraig Pearse says, 3 minute cameos here and there are doing him no good. He has played and scored for the development squad, and the first team in friendlies when given time. He has even shown us what he is about in some of his cameos. He tries too hard when he comes on so late, he doesn't do the simple things. Something he can and would do if he wasn't under so much pressure to impress.

 

Stokes or Efe man of the match for me.

Thought Brown was pish, caught on the ball at least twice and passng sloppy, just like last week when County scored. Cantering around the midfield without a care, needs a rollicking to wake him up.

Probably Commons' worst game of the season as well.

 

Good win today. Thought we might have slipped up but it was a decent performance

 

Couldn't agree more

 

Ooh a Samaras!
