[Official TC Thread] St. Johnstone v Celtic, 12:30ko 5/2/17 Sky Sports 5

What a ball from lustig for that last goal. Excellent build up anaw

 

St Johnstone - Shots on Target 1---Goals 2

 

Did I imagine this or when they showed Brendan the goal after did he say" * *" when he realised what Lustig had done ?

 

5th Goal was up there with the goal at love street to win league in 1986 only a can enjoy this goal over and over again cause it wasn't a wee judas * that scored it, wasn't penalty but the big man still had to step up and score it which he did sublimely

 

Ronny actually dropped him at the start of last season and persevered with Ciftci with pre season and the early European games but basically had to play him caused Ciftci was dreadful

 

I heard that also

 

Thank * for that.

 

Even Brendan can't turn Ciftci around!

 

I know that mate, just pointing out he has done this in the past is all.

 

That's why I said hopefully.

 

Some of the half-time hysteria is hilarious on reading back through the thread! Ifelt fairly confident that we would still win the game, even threw a few quid on it at 15/8.
I think Boyata was out of position for their second and is why he ended up knocking it in but it hardly means he is Efe Ambrose, I do think we look far more comfortable on crosses when Jozo is back there.
We got very lucky with the penalty but it felt like a matter of time before we scored anyway, there was a change in attitude second-half, Dembele coming on made us much more direct and KT started getting involved in the game a lot more.
As I have said elsewhere, GMS just isn't good enough unfortunately, I can't imagine he will get too many more opportunities after today.
I also don't think Bitton suits Brendan's style, even when he plays well, like Aberdeen, it just doesn't feel right. I am sure when Eboue settles in his game time will become even more limited. I expect him to move on in the Summer.
Many of us have questioned Dembele's consistency and have given various reasons for it but he really looked up for it today. Play like that every week and he will score a hat-trick every week. Likewise McGregor, who was excellent when he came on and Henderson has plenty to offer too.

 

Post match analysis available anywhere yet?

 

It's posted earlier on, in this thread.

 

Any idea which page?

The post above this one.

 

Just read that for the last goal every player touched the ball in a 24 pass move

 

Apparently Lennon was pointing and laughing at McCann in the SKY Box after we got the penalty some guy on KD Posted this
He was - McCann was at the window puur ragin' that Timmy got a penalty and Lennon kept behind him laughing and pointing at him to the Celtic Support in the West Stand - Was really rippin' the pish out of McCann.

 

Might be slightly exaggerated but you could believe that..

I genuinely think Lenny was smiling and holding back laughing a few time's post match about McCann..
