Just a wee post after last nights match, i actually enjoy the system we play with the 3 at the back i think Jozo steady's the back line far more than our fans give him credit for although myself included was unsure of him up until about exactly this time last season when he came right on to a game him and ajer were fantastic together. Still our most under appreciated player IMO probably why theirs always decent sides after him its a pitty the big man is injury prone, all in all though a performance i like to see after a long lay off time to kick on now though the next few moths are historic HH.

No doubt Simunovic is a much more natural central defender than Ajer or Bitton and the only problem I have with him is the injury history. Yes he loses concentration and makes the odd mistake, but so do the others; if only he could stay fit for any length of time?

Funny how people celebrate that tackle but moan and greet about the one the other night eh?

I don't have a major problem with Power's tackle but I also don't see how you think his and Jozo's are the same Kev.

Agree0 Disagree0

24 Jan 2020 14:05:02
Both of them went in solid won the ball cleanly and then played the man quite heavily kev.

Agree0 Disagree0

24 Jan 2020 15:51:29
Sorry mate don't agree with that at all. Power hits Frimpong quite hard on the side of his knee whereas Jozo's isn't even a tackle. It's a 50/ 50 that he wins miles ahead of Miller and Miller even has enough time to almost get completely out the way. If you look at it Jozo's bum/ hip is all that clips Miller's foot.

does anyone else on here turn the volume down when certain hosts talk about the game as well as half time i also turn it down they talk absolute garbage there egos are bigger than there actual football skill.
this is the problem in Scotland the bitterness towards certain teams and the anger and the rage of pundits about players etc. this is why Scottish football is a mess the negativity of ex players who played at a high level constantly running the game down they should know better.
sack them all and get neutral fans who talk the game up and be positive about teams footballers etc, im talking about radio stations as well as teams and footballers.
so how about trying this keep one tv guy let's call him or her that with a couple of fans but make sure its from a different team every week, it should be easy and also the fans would do it for a coffee etc and free.
i will be first to sign up.

I very rarely watch a game live. Normally record it then watch it about 30 mins later. Let's you skip half time and any injuries etc. If I had to listen to Boyd or Commons I'd probably head butt the tv.

I watched the game on a Firestick and the commentary wasn't working. A bonus as I didn't want to hear Monster Munch Boyd and Andy Walker slavering p! sh.

Same here Pud. My link started off in what I think might have been Polish. Then switched to Sky which was even worse but eventually ended up on the SPFL channel without commentary. Brill.

Sometimes it's about 10 minutes gone and I realise it's foreign commenty!

Agree1 Disagree0

23 Jan 2020 20:52:01
ye same here polish i think but i just stayed with the guy commentating he was excited about both teams when attacking totally neutral. i actually liked that.
this could happen in scotland get rid of the old hasbeens etc and let's talk about football.

Agree1 Disagree0

I'm sure if a petition was put together to get that muppet boyd removed from sky they would have to react. They could loose too much money if we all cancelled our subscription.

Thing with Boyd is he actually has shown his moronic behaviour and bitterness to all who watched the game. If Griff had been well over this last year his goals to games ratio will show he'sa far better player than Boyd was he's only around 70 goals off the Orks record. Maybe there's where his anxieties come from. Cringe worthy watching but I hope Griff has turned the corner more motivation to get it up that clown. HH.

Any word on Frimpong this morning? Heard Lenny said there's a good chance he'd be grand for the weekend and it wasn't as bad as it seemed, hopefully that's the case . I honestly thought it was a solid tackle at first glance, but looking back Power came in off the ground and his traling leg knocked Frimpong in the knee, hopefully it isn't ligament damage, and we get some positive news on it soon.

Believable0 Unbelievable0

He's saying it's just bruising and could be ok for weekend . also nice to see the killie fans showing there class cheering an 18 year old being stretchered off.

I think Celtic should take action against Kris boyd and ban him from our club . No one in the media or public eye should be allowed to enter our stadium after openly mocking one of our players who has been fighting his own battles with mental heath.
Celtic take the correct action against this idiot .

SLY have employed some real horses asses as 'pundits' - including McCann, Slug and some of our own turncoat ex-players; but he has to be one of the most detestable individuals they have dredged up.

Griffiths throws a bit of tape towards a bin bag and it sets them off bigtime!

Agree0 Disagree0

23 Jan 2020 11:58:02
Whole heartedly agree mally! Being saying the same thing about Charlie Nicholas for years! I can take criticism but the bitter blind hatred from these cants is to much! Nicholas is a guy I hate the sight of and anything that comes out his mouth about us is nthe negative and bitter! Boyd took it a step further last nite by openly having a go at the Griffiths and questioning a player who’s been out with mental health issues playing stats! This is the fkn clown who’s own brother suffered from it and who runs a mental heath charity! Lawell hasn’t the baws to ban any of them! Anything to do with defending our club and he isn’t interested!

Agree2 Disagree0

23 Jan 2020 12:18:29
To be honest it never really bothers me when slugs like Kris Boyd or Alex Rae etc have a pop at our club or players. For me they are bitter little men but I thought it was disgusting what Boyd said about Griff. To criticise a player for lack of appearances claiming he wasn’t producing in training when in fact Griff had issues with his mental health Is the lowest of the low. I’m also lead to believe the “facts” that the parasite quoted were way off with Griff having played a lot more than what the fat man stated. With all that said Boyd is nothing but a low life **** bag.

Agree1 Disagree0

23 Jan 2020 13:33:42
Look how this man is still employed by a huge company like sky is baffling . He's payed to be impartial yes we know who he supports but the subscribers who don't support sevco don't pay to hear his biased views. at half time in the recent sevco game he was going tonto about in his opinion blatant bad decisions against his beloved sevco. he's a disgrace now trotting out stats about griffs playing time leaving out the fact the man's missed nearly a full season with mental health issues.

Agree1 Disagree0

23 Jan 2020 14:32:37
Sly sports are giving this moron a platform for his bias bigoted view and this must not be allowed to continue Celtic must speak to sly on this.

Our Board only bring out statements condemning the Green Brigade. They never come out and fight for our corner.

They should have came out publicly this morning and said that Boyd is no longer welcome at Celtic Park. He is a disgrace and his comments alone are worth action being taken against him. He's a bitter and twisted Sevvy scumbag. HH.

What about Connor McGregors assault on wee Frimpong. When did they sign him anyway thought he was one of us?

Nothing wrong with the tackle.

Agree2 Disagree0

23 Jan 2020 11:55:30
Said on the live-chat last night that certain referees (especially in away games) are turning far too many blind-eyes against persistent assaults, infringements and fouls on our players, sometimes waving play-on with no subsequent punishment. Whereas a first offence by a Celtic player immediately goes in the book.
Last night's referee was a prime example.

Agree2 Disagree0

23 Jan 2020 12:23:08
He definitely done that CM. I was moaning about it when eddy was wiped out the ntcham got booked.

Agree1 Disagree0

23 Jan 2020 15:01:33
Rubbish Kev, his trailing leg came right through the back of Frimpong. Just because he won the ball doesn't make it a good tackle.

Agree1 Disagree0

23 Jan 2020 15:28:10
Agree with Kev it was a solid tackle. If Brown done it we'd all be cheering.

Agree3 Disagree0

23 Jan 2020 17:27:08
Stevie the tackle was not out of control, was not off the ground, was not a lunge. He takes the ball cleanly then plays the man well after.
This is a contact sport.

I take it you think jozo on miller was a poor tackle as well stevie?

Agree1 Disagree0

23 Jan 2020 18:17:08
Jozo on Miller was a totally different tackle, Millers momentum brought him in contact with Jozo after Jozo had cleanly won the ball, last night Power went straight through the back of Frimpong with his trailing leg .

Agree0 Disagree0

23 Jan 2020 19:40:02
He never won the ball tho.

Agree0 Disagree0

23 Jan 2020 21:55:09
Frimpong was targeted right from the start with no protection from the referee whatsoever, he been taking off injured was purely down to a matter of time. It’ll continue in most games because of the attacking threat and incredible talent. As brooney says if he tackled like that it’d be a straight red!

Agree0 Disagree0

22 Jan 2020 23:02:45
That idiot BFKB havin a pop at a man who's had mental health issues. he should be sacked. biased fanny.

Believable2 Unbelievable0

23 Jan 2020 10:04:55
What I realised about the formation last night is that as the wing backs progressed up the pitch, Ajer and Simunovic went wide, acting left and right back, brown drops to partner Jullien, we have more up the pitch and two players still covering the wide areas. It was highly affective. Two up top was great. Where are all the Griffiths doubters today lol?

Believable2 Unbelievable0

23 Jan 2020 11:06:42
I thought brown played too deep so many times when Jullien was attacking the ball brown was dropping and getting in his way. Don’t like the 3 at the back either with the bhoys we have there. Jozo will get caught out he would need to play in the middle of the 3 against any decent opposition tho Jullien is better if this is a way we are looking to play we need a left sided player and allow Ajer to go on the right. That said enjoyed the game last night 2nd half was far better lot more urgency. Pitch was more against us than anything they threatened lot of slips last night.

Agree1 Disagree0

23 Jan 2020 11:12:13
People need to calm down in the griffiths front.
Yes it's great he is back playing
Yes it's great he is back scoring
But you can still see that he is not totally focused or at peace mentally at the moment. What he done last night was daft and shouldn't have happened. Hopefully playing and scoring will help towards getting him in right frame of mind but it's still 50/ 50 in my mind whether he will still be at parkhead next season.

Agree0 Disagree0

23 Jan 2020 12:26:51
Kev, scumbag opposition fans are not really giving the lad a chance, are they? I know football fans in general are a cruel bunch with some of the stuff they come out with and we have our own fair share in our stadium but to abuse someone fighting mental health is a feckin disgrace. The same **** would be delighted if Griff were to go into total meltdown. or worse, God forbid. HH.

Agree1 Disagree0

23 Jan 2020 12:41:57
That was one of the better performances we’ve had this season in all honesty welshy. We’ve been off the boil for a while in terms of killing games dead and we done that last night. As for Griffiths him scoring 2 goals in 2 games and getting an assist is a big step in the right direction anyway Kev! I can see why you think that way though. He’s got a long way to go but can’t deny he has been good so far. Him and Eddy linked up really well last night.

Agree1 Disagree0

23 Jan 2020 12:59:40
Browns dropping in front of the defender attacking the ball to create a block to the opposition attackers jump and to be there for the second ball. Watch brown closely and u will see him trying to position himself to where the ball will drop.

Agree2 Disagree0

23 Jan 2020 17:32:29
Your correct on all counts there bestbhoy but as a professional footballer it comes with the territory and you've got to rise above it. Griff at peace and focused would rise above it but at moment it's getting to him.
Hopefully he channels it into his game and shuts them up.

Agree0 Disagree0

22 Jan 2020 23:39:56
Great result at a tough place to go to. Not an outstanding performance but without doubt the result was the most important thing tonight. I must admit I'm loving the 3-5-2. Thought there were some really positive signs with the understanding and link up of Griff and Eddy.

Believable0 Unbelievable0

23 Jan 2020 08:55:44
IceMan, me too. I think the system change is with a view to how we might shape up against the Mob. Playing with 2 full backs (Frimpong/ Boli) and 2 wingers (Forrest/ Mikey) left us light in midfield. The system last night was O'Neil's style and it's either Forrest or Frimpong same on other side. Elyounousi, Boli, Taylor or Hayes. Add in Christie or Rogic to available midfield 3 and we have a strong line up. Weakest part is the back 3 though, could do with el Hamed in there and a reinforcement.

Agree1 Disagree0

23 Jan 2020 09:18:09
Not sure I'd want to go in against the mob with 3 at the back. They are strong in wide areas.

Agree2 Disagree0

23 Jan 2020 09:51:54
Agreed Kev but if played right the spare man, let’s say El Hamed gives cover to the wingback. So Frimpong has cover if he is caught upfield. All good in theory.

Agree0 Disagree0

23 Jan 2020 11:14:23
Was great in theory when o'Neill played it until the mob worked out how to use lovencrantz to murder it.

Agree0 Disagree0

23 Jan 2020 13:15:58
What would you go with kev because we are light in midfield up against them 4-5-1 maybe?

Agree0 Disagree0

23 Jan 2020 14:32:07
I actually agree with you Kev. Against that mob I would match their 3 in the middle with 3 of our own and forget about the number 10 role. 4-3-3 dropping into a 4-5-1 when defending.

Agree0 Disagree0

23 Jan 2020 16:52:06
Ditto Ice Man 👍.

Agree0 Disagree0

23 Jan 2020 21:34:47
To be honest I'd play 4-4-2 if we're going with two strikers. If they're playing with 3 in midfield I'd be looking at dominating them. It could easily be adapted to 4-3-3 by pulling one of the strikers back. Griff likes coming in from the right and Eddy the opposite way so don't see how it couldn't work.
