Agrees. Browns come out and "accepted responsibility for his actions" he's admitted he's kicked him. Accept the 2 match ban and move on.

1. Brown should have been sent off against Karagandy for stamping on one of their players.
2. Brown had a run in with Balotelli which ultimately caused a goal in the Milan game.
3. Brown rightly sent off for aiming a kick at Neymar no matter how soft it was.
My point is he is our captain and should act like our captain he should be setting an example not costing us games with his petulant behaviour.

Franny Bhoy.

Believable0 Unbelievable0

Very harsh Franny Bhoy but true. Brown knows that he messed up big time, an act of petulance and he paid the price but it is not a hanging offence. We all laughed when Rooney and Beckham got sent off for similar offences. Brown's frustration boiled over and the red mist descended and he paid the price. He knows he let the whole Celtic family down but if I were stuck in the trenches tomorrow and I was given a pick of who to have in there with me it would be Brown every time.

We know what we have with brown, he's not a great passer of a ball, he hasn't great discipline and he doesn't score enough goals, but now he is 100% Celtic, he never gives up and he'll chase and harass till he drops. He made a fool out of himself last night, but he's our fool. Hopefully he won't make the same mistake again.

There is more than 1 way to skin a cat Brown, just ask Lenny!

Agree0 Disagree0

Unfortunately he does have the petulant side to his game, what do you do if he takes that out his game he mite lose his fighting spirit the way he chases down opponents and niggles at them, the spirit we all get up and chant Broony Broony to. A haven't seen it on telly yet but if its a sly kick out its a red and he's let us down and his team mates and am sure they've let him know

Agree0 Disagree0

Broon was the only celtic player who wasnt surprised when the red card came out. Why?

Gaz.

Agree0 Disagree0

Gaz, because he new what he had done doh! What's your point

Gaz are you really a homer? simpson, ., .kbarry

02 Oct 2013 15:11:44
Does anyone agree with me that Broony kinda set himself up for a sending off last night? I know Lenny said he didn't feel any apology was necessary to Neymar and that it was a "soft" red card but if you look at the replay then it is quite clear that Broony DID in fact casually swing his leg ever so gently in Neymar's direction as he lay on the ground when it was totally unnecessary to do so. Clearly there was no intent to injure the lad and any contact made would have been minimal at best. Neymar certainly made a big deal of it but when you do silly things then you have to be prepared to accept the consequences. Had he stayed on the pitch then I believe we would have taken a well deserved point.
It disappoints me because Broony should have known better. He is experienced enough at European level to know that players will fall over if you breathe within ten paces of them so a "Welcome To Glasgow" nudge was always going to get the "I've just been shot in the back" reaction which followed.

After reading some comments the bottom line is BROWN cost us a point with his stupid petulant kick out at neymar, yeh the little fairy acted the part, but when you look at it again what in gods name was brown thinking off& yet lennon publically & behind closed doors will put no blame on him, still enraged at the stupid bhoy!!!!stevo

Believable0 Unbelievable0

I don't buy that, it wasn't Browns fault that 4 defenders and Forster missed a cross that was headed in by the only barca player in the box.

It wasnt Browns fault that Mulgrew headed wide when he had an open goal was it?

Shocking defending and not taking our chances cost us a point (or 3)

Agree0 Disagree0

02 Oct 2013 14:07:16
A gallant effort last night from our Bhoys but it simply highlighted what many of have been saying since the Summer: we haven't got a quality striker who can play at this level. If we had then I believe last night may have been different. Possibly.
Sammy was magnificient again but he can't do it all on his own. We'll cope OK in the SPFL but we are being found out at European level. But where's the surprise in that? Two games and two defeats, the Ajax games are now crucial. We certainly don't make things easy for ourselves. And for what it's worth, I thought Forster could have done better with the cross that led to the goal. Mind you you did pull off a few top class saves that redeemed him though.

Hail Hail

Sammy hasn't scored in 2 cl games against 2 teams who have no chance of winning cl lawwell sold players who would have won both games

Agree0 Disagree0

Barcelona don't have a chance of winning the CL because they didn't put in there best performance at CP, away you go . They haven't dropped a point in there league and scuffed Ajax at home

Agree0 Disagree0

ChrisBhoy, even if we signed AF I feel the result would have been the same (unless the Mulgrew miss presented itself to him). For a forward to prosper he must get delivery but our forwards were desperately trying to win back posession last night and were so far out from the opposition goal there was no one in the box if crosses had come in. We were chasing shadows, it was real finger in the dam time, look at our posession stats or shots on goals, not good reading. I wouldn't blame foster, Izzy was caught ball watching again and they had all the time in the world to deliver the inch perfect cross. Foster had to guard his hear post. What annoys me though is our inability to pass the bloody ball to one of our own. Sometimes I'd swear that some of our players couldn't pass go in Monopoly. He weed to work on our basics.

We all know that we shouldn't be dining at the top table of European football. Realistically how could our 11 complete with Barca's 11 given the disparity in wages and transfer fees. Barca had subs who cost more that our whole squad. What really pees me off though is when we create the chances and we don't take them. We work our socks off only to shoot ourselves in the foot. Once we cut out our school boy errors and begin to take our chances we will trouble a lot of Europes elite. Until that happens we will be just Gallant loosers. Keep the Faith ChrisBhoy!

Neil Lennon prepares his team well for games. He selects good first 11 in good formations. However during games he chooses substitutions badly and totally sells the game. It's so obvious.
AC Milan, our guys doing excellent, in control, ac Milan on back foot Lenny subs two at same time, we lose our shape and cohesion and it's a goal fest for them.
Last night 0-0 even after brown is red carded, Barca cannot get through the Celtic defense. Neymar cannot get past Lustig for 68mins. Lennon does his crap two subs at same time routine and ruins his own impressive defense, taking Lustig off was madness. Lustig was competently covering the area the guy scored from. By all means sub a forward or midfielder who is run knackered but Lustig a defender wasn't tired. The most tired guy was Sammy if u want to use that logic.
Two games, Celtic doing well at 0-0, Lennon does his double subs and goal fest for opposition. Only Forsters amazing saves stopped it being 3-0 last night. The Barca manager and full squad knew Lustig coming off was the weakness they sought. Lennon gifted it to them.

Believable0 Unbelievable0

Send your details to PL@CP.co.UK .I think he is on the look out for a bright young manager to replace NL.TTTS

Agree0 Disagree0

I agree about Lustig. He was having an excelllent game. Just because he was on a yellow doesn't mean he has to come off. Also replacing him with Forrest means you have to move other player into postions they haven't played during the match. We all know, at all levels, it takes a bit of time to find your feet when moving positions during a game.

Joeshmo1888

Agree0 Disagree0

I am totally against double substitutions as it affects the whole team and not just the area that needs addressing or improving. It's fine if we are 3/4 goals up in a game and we want to rest a player or two but few top class managers do double subs at crucial times in a game. It has cost us dear in the CL and NL is supposed to be gaining experience and knowledge?

Just seen someone writing about last night and included the cheer Iniesta received at the end.

Why is this even a talking point, a Club full of supporters alleged to be against any form of oppression suddenly a minority think they can dictate who gets a cheer. eh I don't think so. I respect the views of anyone who does or does not cheer One Direction, John Terry etc but away and have a serious word with yourself about dictating cheering Iniesta.

Believable0 Unbelievable0

Are you kidding Mrs E? No opposition player should ever be applauded leaving the park unless they are injured. It was sickening to hear it. What's the difference between Terry or Iniesta and why do you respect folk who decide to cheer terry or not but can't respect the Celtic fans who think it is wrong to applaud an opposition player.

Agree0 Disagree0

Aye right you are mrs. You write some sh*te at times

Agree0 Disagree0

If you wanted to applaud Barca players you should have bought a ticket in their end, simples

Agree0 Disagree0

Very good replies and as expected, next time you read anything about Jimmy Johnstone and Di Stefano make sure you voice your opinion in the same way that you disagree with the ovation he got from the Spanish.

Di Stefano played for 20 minutes of the game and received a standing ovation from the 130,000 supporters inside the stadium when he left the pitch. Neither side played as one might expect in a friendly match, but instead competed fiercely to win the match. And taking centre stage on the night was Jimmy Johnstone, whose skill and artistry completely mesmerised the Madrid players.
Indeed, such was the brilliance of Jinky that the Spanish support cheered him, shouting 'OLE'! whenever he was on the ball. {Ed007's Note - That was in a testimonial game, it's hardly the same as a CL match. Last night was one of the worst cringe moments in recent memory, then you have the rubbish PL has came out with today. Is it ok to get beat now as long as we have a 'special relationship' with the club? It's like getting a patronising pat on the head.}

Agree0 Disagree0

It's a bit of a mountain out of a mole hill but I never clapped him off.

Chabhoy

Agree0 Disagree0

A would agree its a mountain out a mole hill. He won't b the 1rst player to have got clapped leaving the park a dnt think, Ronaldinho got clapped .
A think some players have got some class about them play the game the way it should be dnt go diving about and crying they just get on with it, ad Say ineista is one of those players. I clapped him, so what? A thought we wer different from the zombies, a like that we can appreciate a good footballer when we see 1 and that we have a friendly fanbase. A wouldn't go clapping a neymar, Pepe, drogba

Agree0 Disagree0

02 Oct 2013 17:11:02
ED007, I agree with Mrs E when I see a great opposition player or team I applaud as a grudging respect for their talents.
As a Celtic fan I was brought up in our ethos of open attacking football played at pace and with lots of skill.
Last night even though Barca were not at their best, their movement and passing was a joy to watch, even against my own team.
I have witnessed many great Celtic teams and players over the years but also marvelled at great opponents like Eusebio, Cruyff, Ronaldo, Messi etc
as a Celtic fan I want to see the very best players play at Celtic Park and I am not being disloyal to my team in acknowledging a great player entertaining us. Timalloy {Ed007's Note - Did you applaud Morton off after the cup game? John Terry was booed after giving up his time to play in a charity match yet we are applauding players who beat us in a CL match. PL's comments on the official site are a joke and an embarrassment, basically it doesn't matter we got beat, we got a patronising pat on the head because we applauded their player. Would you applaud Gattuso when he was at Milan? What's the difference?
I'm sick fed up of all this glorious failure attitude that we are associated with and seem to revel in. Applause should be reserved for your own team or an injured player. The club and the fans go on about creating an intimidating atmosphere then think how 'nice' we are applauding opposition players, it's is ridiculous IMO.
I wouldn't and never have applauded a Man Utd player if/when they were playing Celtic, even Roy Keane who is my sporting idol. Maybe that makes me a bad loser, but I would never applaud any opposition player, unless they were injured.}

Agree0 Disagree0

Who clapped larsson off the park? Is that aloud? There was more than a handful .He was in the opposing team . Each to there own clap if you want don't clap if you don't think it's appropriate

Agree0 Disagree0

Agree Ed i'd never applaud if player/team don't have a four leaf clover on their breast,, but morton they did not entertain anybody, ., .kbarry

Agree0 Disagree0

This whole thread makes me sad, I applauded Iniesta last as I applauded Larsson & Brattback when they came back, I've also applauded Prosinecki and Ronaldinho in years gone by. When Del Piero put that free kick in the 4-3 game I couldn't help myself clapping!

I was proud of the reception Iniesta got, it shows we as a support can appreciate good football, its not an inferiority thing its a football thing. Jimmy Johnstone all over Europe is a great example - the stories of the bernebeu and the yugoslav team (i forget who). I'd like to think real football fans across the world would applaud our players for a great performance

Agree0 Disagree0

God it's like Black St Banter with all the talk of clap on here . DH

Agree0 Disagree0

Spot on ed. home fans are their to create an atmosphere for opposition players to fear and put them off their game!

As for kbarry comment, morton gave me great amusement.

Gaz.

Agree0 Disagree0

Any supporter aplauding players from another team are not true supporters. we pay money to support the 'tic and will them on to win. i'd rather we won and were hated than loose and be seen as nice c****. my st is just next to the gb and there wasn't much clapping from them I support celtic thats it barca and man utd or liverpool can go take a ****. that's what happens when you fill your ground with plastic fans an glory hunters that only want tickets for the big games. how many of last nighs crowd will be there on saturday aagainst motherwell

Agree0 Disagree0

If somebody wants to clap a player of iniesta quality then I don't have a problem, if not don't clap, I really don't think it makes you any less a supporter than the other. Jonnsey

Agree0 Disagree0

@13 What aload of Lillian Gish your talking, I'm a season ticket holder and I clapped Inesta off the park, why because he is a great player and not a diving cheat, you say I'm not a true supporter for doing this away and take your face for a $hite and yes I will be there on Saturday, will you Mr no name.

Always used to be a fan of Barcelona over recent years but now I hope they get pumped out of Europe from Bayern again or even Better my fav team to watch outside of celtic Dortmund. The way some of there players carry on aka Dani Alves, Sergio Busquests and the number one prancing fairy Neymar is disgusting. If diving about the pitch trying to get players sent off just to get an edge over the team your playing against is there game then just shows how pathetic they are. DundeeMichael

we need hooper, rhodes or another top class striker who just needs one or two chances to score. stokes, pukki and balde are not the answer in europe. wanyama was the best player but we managed well without him yesterday. I would like to see more of balde though. he's a very strong striker and would get past the defenders better than pukki.

Believable0 Unbelievable0

Give them a chance before trying to replace them, I wasn't sure about pukki to start with but the boy obviously has goals in him and he played in the best league in the world so can't be that bad.

Agree0 Disagree0

How much would you pay for Rhodes? think Blackburn signed him for bout 8m, scored plenty last season has 9 already this season. Wouldn't think they would take a loss on him.
Hooper wasnt a big name until given his chance with celtic, give others the same chance

Agree0 Disagree0

Hooper/Rhodes top class strikers - are you having a laugh?

Hooper will not get out of single figures in the EPL this season, rhodes has only ever played lower league football - by what definition are tese players top class?

Neither are in the same class as Sami, and from what I've seen of Pukki he could well be a 25-30 goal a season striker.

Agree0 Disagree0

@3 I really hope your right about pukkis 30 goals we'll need to start playing him though, ., .kbarry

Hi, was at game last night don't get to may games as I work offshore & live on a remote island but atmosphere was amazing, in the last 2 games in champs league we haven't played bad but we are crying out for a striker a real target man, broony we all make mistakes! still playing magic! big dutch bhoy at back looks a player .1 thing I have learnt in last couple of season we certainly aren't out our depth in the champs league KEEP THE FAITH, Hail Hail,

Believable0 Unbelievable0

02 Oct 2013 10:32:03
In my opinion it had fook all to do with the Ref last night it was a major bad call by Broony. Broon gave the ref it on a plate! and being a eurpean ref he was always going to show a RED. you can not Kick out in any shape or form in the modern game and expect to get away with it! yes soft he hardly touched him but the intent was there! Gutted I am but the captain for me who should know better let his team down! I am a broony fan always have been his work rate is awesome but am sorry he let his team and the thousands of fans down! let's just hope we get can get 4 or 6 points against ajax as there result last night was what we needed! Hail Hail

Believable0 Unbelievable0

02 Oct 2013 09:52:57
I am trying to be honest and objective about firstly, last night's game and our 2 games played so far.
Last night we played against an underperforming Barcelona team who were still miles better than us. Our possession (when we go it) was woeful with too many unforced errors. We kept putting ourselves under pressure by giving them the ball back in dangerous areas.
Sammy and Stokes were both guilty of this on several occasions. On Stokes the chance he got when he was through on goal but did not have the pace to get clear, was that not why Pukki was bought for his pace, I think at least he would have outstripped the Barca defenders and got a shot away.
Not going to talk much about Brown, he was stupid and gave ref a decision to make, but if he had gone to ref right away, instead of hiding behind team mates, it might have only been yellow as it gave the Barca players time to surround ref.
Sadly that is two games we have played against teams with star players missing and not taken advantage. Forrest with his shot was unlucky but Mulgrew missed a sitter.
Our only tiny hope is Ajax only drew with Milan, so we must target the next 2 games and at least try for third place as sadly, I think that is what we are now playing for. Timalloy

Believable0 Unbelievable0

If we take 4 points from Ajax and Barca beat AC home and away we go joint second in league. Second place is still very much up for grabs. On the Sammy one, I thought Sammy was terrific tonight, one of his best games in a Celtic shirt. He lost the ball only when he had no one to pass to and was holding the play up. Also if you notice when he did lose it, it took 2 or 3 Barca players to get it off him. I thought he apart from Iniesta, he was the best player on the park.
One other note, and maybe it was just me, so if it was I appologize.
But the atmosphere was a little different last night, good but not electric like usual. Even singing YNWA felt like we were going through the motions, but as I said, maybe it was just me.
On the YNWA thing, I really wish the club only played it at the start and not when the teams run out for second half. I think it dilutes the importance of it a bit.

Joeshmo1888

We were just talking about the YNWA thing a bit on the Liverpool page. Do you play the Gerry Marsden version over the tannoy?

Agree0 Disagree0

02 Oct 2013 12:27:54
Maybe due to repetitive champions league games? Oh Barca again, AC Milan again oh greeeeeeatt. yawn.
It's not so special anymore? pea

Agree0 Disagree0

Champions league games will always be special to me, maybe a different variety of teams would be nice but watching barca, Milan and Ajax certainly excites me.
Think Sammi was brilliant, when he got going he was found isolated because commons and stokes didn't have the pace to keep up with him, that's why prefer him out wide there always somebody ahead of him.
A well we'll just need to scud Ajax home and away lol

Agree0 Disagree0

I think we believe the press and the bluenoses a wee bit too much when they talk about our opposition. Milan were missing several players but the players that did play were all international players bought for small fortunes and every player on their bench would probably have got in our starting line up. Then Barca are missing Messi but look at who played, young boys all over the world have these names on their shirts. Really don't get how you can say underperforming when they've also had their best start ever to a season. Maybe we should look a little more at what our players do to pressure these teams be that in an attacking sense like the Milan game or keeping compact like last night. I always believed that the next 3 games would be where any points we gained were most likely to come and I think Barca will take 6 points off AC. 7 points from our next 3 games is definitely not impossible with a bit of luck maybe even 9. Keep the faith

02 Oct 2013 09:16:11
anny take this glorious failure guff. Valdes had 1 save to make. Not good enough at home

Why Lennon never hooked Lustig at half time i'll never know. The guy was on a yellow, and couldn't make a tackle which gave them free reign up and down that side

Scott Brown. Petulant, Stupid, 2 games in a row in europe he has spat the dummy. if Busquets hadn't ran up like the cheating wee jim delahunt that he is, the ref would have kept the yellow in his hand and not had his mind changed by the bigger team, but he did give the red for the stupid kick. if a Barca player had don e the same, everybody would have been screaming for a red

Efe Ambrose. Looked back THREE times to see where the runner was and yet Fabregas still got a free header

Fraser Forster. As a goalie myself, you are taught at an early age that anything in your 6 yard box is yours.yet when the ball came in he ended up BEHIND his line rather than come for it, which you would expect a 6 foot 7 keeper to do

Anthony stokes. I don't care if he playes for the Republic of Ireland. I don't care that 'His dad hates the queen'. There is a reason that for the past 3 years Lennon has not played him in Old firm/european games. he isn't good enough. Offered absolutely Nothing again last night.

Izaguirre. Never a Defender. Decent going forward. horrific at the back

Charlie Mulgrew. Eyes open. Head through the ball. Hit the target. don't shut your eyes like a 4 year old learning how to head the ball

Absolute shambles last night. Have no respect for Barca for their cheating either, yet, if they really wanted to up the tempo, they could have convincingly beat us

Samson

You really need to calm doon mate.

Joeshmo1888

Samson get real "as a goalie myself" don't be stupid(which champions league team is it you play for?) We do as well as we can given our resources, The ref got conned but broony gave them the opportunity to con them.

Again we did not create much but neither did we, small margins if Charlie buries the header we go on to win probably

Dannybhoy

Agree0 Disagree0

Don't need to calm down at all. Its all about opinions, and that is mine

In what way is losing 1-0 to Barca with 10 men a shambles?

Joeshmo1888

Agree0 Disagree0

Dannybhoy

Why have I to get real? doesn't matter if I have played Champions league or sunday league, the basics are always the same. 6 yard box belongs to the goalie. No ifs, no buts. come take the ball, the man, everything I had my first pair of gloves, and first game before our goalie was even a twitch inhis dads groin. Forster, for a big guy, is mince when it comes to crosses and high balls.

Samson

Agree0 Disagree0

Samson you sound like I feel - even this morning - No points and not even a goal in 2 CL games (especially in Milan where we played well) and the amount of times we gave the ball away for no reason last night was amateurish, inviting more pressure.
Our captain shows petulance and foolishness and gives them a man advantage into the bargain. Oh and
we are out of the league cup to Morton and sitting second to Inverness in SPL unable to keep a clean sheet in any game we play in.
But let's all calm down and take it.

JJ

Agree0 Disagree0

Are you suggesting that Stokes is on the team solely because of some twisted political view you have.
I've noticed a few posts suggesting that Stokes might not be playing for his footballing abilities but more because of his nationality.
Shameful thinking .
I put to those in that frame of mind, is it because he's Irish you don't want him in the team .That throws a totally new light on it don't you think?.
On the match, 0-1 defeat against most probably the best assembled team in the world at a huge cost and the burden of massive debts was by no means a disgrace .Celtic can now look forward to the very distinct possibility of taking points from Milan and Ajax in the knowledge that they are closing the gap on Europe's elite .
TTTS

Agree0 Disagree0

TTTS

I don't want him in the team, because I think he offers very little in the big games. I mentioned his nationality as I too have ssen people before saying that he should be in the team as he is Irish

Samson

Agree0 Disagree0

Ive never seen anyone saying he should play because he is Irish. Although I do agree he is nowhere near good enough to lead the line for Celtic. I have said this for ages.
Pukki must start in the next few games at least.

Joeshmo1888

Agree0 Disagree0

Why you needed to mention his father or his national team to make your point was the point I was making .
Any other of the players have nationality or bad parenting issues last night?
Was Scott Broons father responsible for removing the goalpost from Wembley?

We are up against, and no disrespect to
the following st mirren, st johnstone, etc hardly the ideal preparation for the teams we are drawn against when we are in europe.So for me its an achievement just being there, and as neil lennon said the quality that is required will not come to this league

I have watched the Scott Brown incident against Neymar several times now and I am not convinced that his boot even touched Neymars arm. He went down and rolled about holding his back. Typical Brazialian play acting. JK

Believable0 Unbelievable0

Regardless to whether or not Neymar made the most of it, Broony took a swipe at a player on the ground for the second time in the competition this season. He gave the ref a decision to make, and quite frankly if it was a Barcelona player that done it to a Celtic player we would've been screaming for a red.

Morning guys,

It's the morning after the night before. I thought last night no ones effort could've been faulted. Everyone dug in, stuck to the tactics and frustrated Bar�a. We even came close through Forrest's shot and Chico's header!

I think big Sammy wis a standout.

Everything seemed to be going to plan until our "leader" (and I use the world loosely) Broony decided to let the pressure of the European stage get to him for the third time this season!

The right thing for him to do is go through Neymar and floor him for the yellow, not a half hearted tug at his jersey then kick out at him on the ground.

He stamped on a Karagandy player, got involved with Balotelli which cost us in Milan, now this. When will it end?!

I can only think we have the petulant kid who played with Hibs back and he needs some harsh words in his ear cause right now he's not acting like a true Celtic captain!

What's everyone else's thoughts on the game last night and the overall Broony situation?

No way did Sammy have a stand out game he is 6ft+ and won headers at half way line, ran at them a couple of times but most of his runs were at half way or in our half the guy never had a shot or set up a shot once they worked him out he never got a look in . I think he started to believe Lenny's hype about world class and decided he would be a one man show and not pass to teammates.

Agree0 Disagree0

Sammy wasn't a stand out? He was the only player who put a shift in last night and got pass marks from me. In your opinion, who on that park had a better game than the big yin?!

Agree0 Disagree0

Didn't think any player was great just thought they all put in a hard shift, Sammy stands out more with his style but he had one shot and do you really think he took pressure off defence, if I was to pick our mom I would lean towards Virgil or Forster (minus one flap)

Agree0 Disagree0

@1 I totally agree mate, Sami just got the ball & tried to take players on without looking to pass, he was caught with the ball more often than he made a pass.

disappointed with the result but quite a few positives from tonight although without messi they are ordinary.
i think we have the two hardest games now out of the way cause as I see it milan won't want to come here and I think barca is the last game so they should be qualified by then at top spot so hope they rest people like against benfica last year in which they were really poor
