Use our rumours form to send us celtic transfer rumours.

I thought the referee today was letting the Aberdeen players get away with a good few tackles that they got the decisions go their way. Now that I have seen the right hook that floored Ajeti the compliance officer must take action. Shocking.

This is not the first time this has been the case and I expect lots more of the same this season. Wish our manager and board would point it out through our solicitors.

Agree2 Disagree1

02 Nov 2020 07:57:28
Sorry for repeating myself; but this happens all the time and it's so obvious I'm astonished Celtic haven't raised the roof about it.
Celtic players are booked for first fouls and penalised every time opponents hit the deck, while literal assaults and kicks carried out are encouraged and played-on with no retrospective action.
If this was happening to another team there would be a riot with yet another referee disappearing into the sunset and off their rota.

What an achievement, on the verge of completing a Quadruple Treble, I don't think even a Double Treble had been done in the past and here we are a club in crisis on the verge of winning 12 trophies on the bounce. I can see the hunger coming back this season, we have taken a while to get used to the new surroundings but I believe we are about to go on a run. For me keeping Tam fit is important along with Griff looking interested again and Ajeti getting fitter we are looking good. The one concern I have is the fan pressure factor has been taken away this season and looks like being the case for the rest of the season. The Tribute act seem comfortable playing in this environment but that said everything is in our own hands. Bring it on. HH. P. S anyone know what word comes after Quadruple? šŸ¤£.

Looks like players are getting up to the right pace and covering each other the sheep tried to be physical but we stood up even wee frimpong was eating up the ground laxtant he is very good but players are coming back can see a massive improvements Duffy played no nonsense football tnats what he knows good win another final excellent com on the hoops.

I have to say well done Neil Lennon we played brilliantly today, bit of a scare today as we tired but what a performance, I have been his biggest critic but today we were fantastic especially in the first half I thought we were outstanding, Duffy had a good game when he just went back to clearing the ball and stopped trying to be Pele.

Believable1 Unbelievable0

01 Nov 2020 21:06:43
Great to get a win, with a clean sheet and yet another Cup Final. However, I didn't think we were brilliant all game and still looked exposed at right back where they got a few crosses in unchallenged. Having said that, the defense held firm and Bain had little to do.
We need to build on this and get the fitness and stamina levels to what we expect and carry our first half displays through to 90 min.
Anyway; lots of positives and just we needed at a tough time.

Agree3 Disagree0

01 Nov 2020 22:41:08
I think if Ntcham had started the game, and Brown had been brought on for the last fifteen minutes, the team would have been better, we are still relying on a few moments of individual brilliance, the midfield is still not right.

Agree1 Disagree0

02 Nov 2020 01:00:23
You obviously have not been watching Ntcham this season if you think that.

Agree0 Disagree0

02 Nov 2020 07:24:30
Aindoh I know u say these things to get people on here to bite, but Iā€™ll say it anyway. u talk one load of Colin nish by the way mate! The team would have been better with ntcham starting the game! Yesterday was probably the best half of football weā€™ve had all season, pace power imagination and players looking up for it! All without ntcham in sight! Ntcham is a passenger and has been for years! Stevie wonder would give a better insight on a game a football than u honestly!

Agree1 Disagree0

01 Nov 2020 20:39:27
Hopefully this is the start of a good long positive run, players played well and took the foot of the gas second half which I canā€™t complain about - lots of games ahead and hopefully more trophies šŸ†.

Believable2 Unbelievable0

01 Nov 2020 17:34:57
Much more like it today, I know Rogic isnā€™t a favourite of some of the posters on here but he seems to create more space for others when heā€™s playing. Tidy up at the back and we should cut this 9 point gap back down to 3 and hopefully shut them up a bit. I watched the start of their game today, up until they got their usual pen.
Gerrard in the interview was asked before the game about Kilmarnock, his reply was quite a few of them arenā€™t rangers fans so will try harder. I wonder if lennie said something similar would he be charged by the fa? Double standards again.

Believable4 Unbelievable0

01 Nov 2020 17:43:17
Thatā€™s a strange comment to make from Slippy when Kilmarnock started with 2 ex Rangers players.
Is it because Killie had a Celtic youth player Findlay start the game alongside 2 Irish midfielders.
Itā€™s good to see heā€™s getting his excuses ready as the pressure mounts.

Agree2 Disagree0

01 Nov 2020 17:47:23
Rogic played well in the first half but was poor in the second.

I was saying the same thing when watching it duff. Looked tiny from certain angles.

The camera was in the North stand instead of the usual main stand.
Maybe thatā€™s made it look different.

Brilliant first half performance think if we had kept that up we would have won by 4 or 5.

01 Nov 2020 16:41:32
You can talk about formations all day but there seems to be a different attitude from the players.
They have been to many off form at the one time but when they are on form the are unstoppable.
A fit rogic looks different class.
Hopefully they can keep this form up as we have a few tasty games coming up.

Believable8 Unbelievable0

01 Nov 2020 16:37:42
I am sure there will be lots out there saying everything is now fine at Celtic park
After today i am certain that we will end the season with NL in charge
I am even more convinced that we cannot progress under NL
We are better than every team in Scotland except you know who. We should be destoying any opposition by a huge margin, the money we have spent in comparision with everyone else is enormous.
Too many of these players are either not good enough or think they are better than they are.
The defence is very poor Duffy should never be at Celtic, it says a lot when Bitton a midfielder is our best defender.
Brown has gone and Rogic produces maybe 3 good games a season.
Christie {yes fantastic goal} but how many times did he try very tight passes in the centre and give the ball away.
And someone tell me what Edwourd contribute today.

Jesus jonace what do u want. We Win 2 nil and into another final. Duffy has struggled in the last few games but not sure what he did wrong today. Bitton has played CB for a while now and even for his country. And Christie always runs himself in the ground and yes sometimes his final ball let's him down but time and again he produces big movements. And eddy is the best player in Scotland by some distance. The lad is just recovering from C.V.! Not sure what u r looking for.

Agree0 Disagree0

01 Nov 2020 17:43:04
also how long does bitton have to play CH to be recognised as a CH he's been playing there for years and played there 90% of the time there for his country.

Agree1 Disagree0

01 Nov 2020 17:47:33
True Duff an Phelps.
Jonace is right that the team still needs to improve to reach our high standards.
But I think the team needs encouragement from our fans now after a month of criticism by some sections of our support.

Agree0 Disagree0

01 Nov 2020 18:56:23
Jonace never mind Lennon or the fors and againsts Iā€™m just away tae bed delighted youā€™re no replacing him. Have ye ever thought about motivational speaking as a career?

01 Nov 2020 16:23:43
I think Christie is more suited to playing on the right when Rogic is in that No.10 role, they link up well and the space Rogic creates is unreal. Fair play to Elyounoussi, he's shoved my criticism of him down my throat. Laxalt and Bitton class again. A clean sheet and another finalšŸ‘.

It's a pity rogic and ellynoosi are inconsistent as when on form they can be great.

clean sheet is exactly what the doctor ordered today.

Agree0 Disagree0

01 Nov 2020 17:03:39
Its brilliant to reach another final and keep this amazing cup run going. But for me l am delighted to see the clean sheet. The more we can do this the more likely we will win games as we have great fire power up front and mid field.

01 Nov 2020 18:56:46
Ter eighth consecutive cup final that really is some doing.

How did we manage to drop points at killie, they are awful.

Believable1 Unbelievable0

01 Nov 2020 14:22:36
Lennon made the mistake with our formation on the day.
We showed in January the difference playing 2 up makes with creating chances.
Celtic never created a clear cut chance in August which isnā€™t the first time at Rugby Park.
History tells us 2 up front makes a difference at Rugby Park.
Playing on a very dry pitch which was made smaller by Kilmarnock didnā€™t help.
When Celtic revisit Rugby Park after the new year hopefully the conditions are similar to todayā€™s conditions which will help Celtic to string a few passes.

Agree2 Disagree0

01 Nov 2020 17:43:01
Plus jullien got beat up by their CF and gave away a shocker of a pen.

Agree0 Disagree0

01 Nov 2020 12:34:43
We really are down to the bare bones at the minute. I'd take any sort of win today just to get through but hoping we can build on Thursday's performance. Watching a bit of the Killie v Rangers game and have to say I'm struggling to see the other teams doing us many favours this season. How we dropped 2 points against this mob I'll never know.

The penalty was enough to put them 9 points clear and we know what's ahead to put things right and restore the natural order as they say.

The bookmakers odds say it all

A penalty in sevvie game is only 6/ 4
2 penalties 9/ 1

I remember getting 5,6 7/ 1 for penalty and double figures 14,15/ 1 for 2 penalties in a game
Collum and baby Dallas have changed everything.

Think it 47 games since sevco conceded a penalty.

Agree0 Disagree0

01 Nov 2020 16:39:25
I make it 43 domestic games since Sevco last conceded a penalty.
One game away from a full league season ( 37 games )
And 3 league cup and 3 Scottish cup games also.
The last penalty given against Sevco by a Scottish referee was 14 months ago.
Bayern Leverkusen was the last club to get a penalty against them just before lockdown in the Europa.

01 Nov 2020 11:23:11
Just watched about 2 minutes of the Hibs semi and it looks like they have shrunk the pitch about 10 yards and it looks narrower as well.

I was wanting Griff to play because hampden pitch size.

The problem is we strengthened the side in the transfer window on the basis that we would play a 352 formation. We are very short on wingers.

Agree0 Disagree0

01 Nov 2020 12:41:06
With Johnston out for so long - and not even established - wide players were definitely required in the last window.
No idea what the real story was with Shved, but he's away and with Morgan offloaded as well, there was a place or two needed filling.

Agree0 Disagree0

Buzz said it all in his thread Gollum is dreadful 2 dives 2 pens but misses the stick one. deary me he'll prob get final.

01 Nov 2020 12:02:18
Mally heā€™ll only get the final if Celtic are in it.
I can remember when Kilmarnock beat us in the league cup final and Stokes was brought down in injury time, normally Collum loves giving penalties especially in injury time but not this time. He booked Stokes for diving.

Agree0 Disagree0

01 Nov 2020 09:31:35
