i seen the Celtics derision on Celtics penalty again and it was deserved but i also think udineses penalty was deserved and if you watch closely hoopers arm hits udineses player he was always gonna go down so that at the end of the day means there penalty was deserved so it isn't samaras to blame for that game it is hooper {Ed007's Note - Nonsense. Sober up.}

Does anyone else agree that Tony Mowbray knocked Celtic back years, i was sitting at game last night thinking O'Neils team would of wiped the floor with this mob, Strachans team would have won comfortably, remember not so long ago drawing with Bayern and going home disappointed thinking bad result, seen Man utd, Barca, AC Milan,Juventus, Valencia, Porto,and loads of other good sides come to Paradise and fail , before anybody starts shouting about we had more money to spend etc, think of what Gordon Strachan done with limited funds, McDonald, Robson, Caldwell, McManus, Hartley those guys got us to last 16 twice while winning titles, Mowbray ripped the heart out of Celtic by selling them all and replacing them with duds. Paradise up until 2008 was in the top 3 of European Fortresses, very few teams went away with a point, feel sorry for Lenny having to pick up the pieces, hopefully last night was the start , although we were up against an under strength Udinese we at least showed the bit of desire we need to make Paradise a fortress again..........Stevie {Ed007's Note - Well said Stevie.}
Wise up bhouy..lennys into his 3rd seaason as manager of celtic.according to your ed rangers are a 3rd rate football team..and you team wernt able to over throw them the past 3 seasons..youve had your worst start to league campaign this season for many a year..how many seasons does lenny get to pick up your peices? wake up and smell the coffee..you cant defend the shambles much longer..if no spl title arrives at parkhead this season..do you claim the teams still bonding or lennys still a rookie..WISE UP TO YOURSELVES. {Ed007's Note - At no point did I say Rangers were a 3rd rate team. I suggest you actually read posts and my answers before showing your lack of intelligence, it is staring out of every word you type.}
What ?????? Stay off the glue and reply to the post accordingly.......Stevie {Ed007's Note - Me Stevie??}
And another thing last season was NL first full season. {Ed007's Note - Rangers fans are infatuated with the number 3, they run out of fingers after that.}
Well Ed I've got 6 fingers 2 thumbs 2 pinkys lol so does that mean I can count to 6?
Ff81 {Ed007's Note - No you are different from the majority, you have a name and don't constantly harp on about the same thing over and over again and think it is still anywhere near funny. We all go on about the CFC family but there is some amount of Rangers fans called '3IAR' and 'WATP' at least CFC fans only put 'Bhoy' after a name. Not just regurgitate the same thing, I delete them now because it is people trying to post using other people 'handles'. You are always welcome here FF81.}
Ed can you let me know when a less angry and bitter ed will be on so that we can enjoy some good banter without you losing the plot and resorting to insults jmgers {Ed007's Note - Leave your e-mail and we will get in touch eventually or when you actually have anything worthwhile to say, don't hold your breath though.}
No ed , i'm talkin about that bitter rant above bout smelling coffee etc ............Stevie {Ed007's Note - OK mate.}
I know loads of 6 fingered Rangers fans but allegedly thats down to their maw's and da's being cousins........Stevie
Thats done it, all the angry bears will be taking their shoes and socks off, trying to workout when we last won the league.
Starting from the 1st post, couldn't argee more! I have said it the min Tony mowbray was said as manager, he was the boards 3rd choice & what gets me is slavin belic (sp) publicly said he would bite the hand off Celtic for the job but the board rubbered him,probz because he would have wanted slot of money for the transfer windows.as for TM this is what u hated about him(as said above) he sold 4/5 players then got 4 or 5 people on loan for a season which in my eyes is just a quick fix, few months later he's out the door nice golden hand shake of (could u answer that one ed ?) then it's Celtic picking up the mess behind. Fast forward to now it's a brand new team debt is less than a million & we lost out on 3 cups JUST ICT game, cup final,Ross county. Right now we got back into Europe (back door or not) make another few million league isn't over till may rangers fans !! Remember we hand a 10 point lead at Xmas a couple of years ago ? Then we threw it away ? So leagues there & the 2 cups & Europe Is just experience facter with money comming in. So all in all if we win the league good times.
If rangers lose the league ! Then lose the tax case it's no money no cups no nuttin rangers will be in trouble(money wise)
Sorry for the long post ed lol had to get that off my chest lol)
Mon the hoops !
Lenny
Rangers wont lose the league celtic have been playing catch up for the past 3 years and as we all know if your not 1st your last. Lennon is not a manager and as for celtic in europe they are just laughable.
30 Sep 2011 19:58:59
Im prepared for numerous Disagrees but we really need to lay off Samaras. Too many of us pick a player and blame all of our woes on that one person. Unfortunately for Samaras he seems to be the target for our supporters at the minute. He reminds me a wee bit of Didier Agathe and was a confidence player and played off the energy of the crowd. If Agathe had a shaky start and the crowd got on his back he was murder the rest of game. Big Sammy the same. Plays well away from home where all players are welcomed by our fans. At Parkhead he hears the murmers and the head goes down and he tries too hard sometimes. Yes i did say tries too hard because whatever anyone says about him he doesnt hide. Still looks for the ball, might lose it but still looks for it. Doesnt Tweet when dropped doesnt put on 2 stone(Commons). Next time hes on lets sing his name loud and proud see if he can repay us. He is no just Samaras he is OUR Samaras
The only piece of your post i agree with is the first 5 words, Samaras's time has come to an end at Celtic and i think us fans have been more than patient with him, i do believe the guy has ability but to show it once every 30 games well need i say more,3 goals in 30 odd games and giving little else to the team is a no brainer to get rid, unfortunately i don't think he'll be going anywhere soon after signing his new contract, hope Lenny keeps him in the stand cos he gives zero on the park....... Stevie
Its quite obvious NL is not going to leave him in the stand, he thinks he has something to offer and as far as I'm concerned If he wears the Hoops he deserves to be backed by the fans. He is an easy target for abuse and half of It is undeserved. Our defence has been pretty awful since the start of the season, big Dan in particular and although he's taken a bit of flack Its nothing compared to what Samaras has had to endure. If he doesn't get the crowd behind him and all he's getting is abuse how can anyone expect his game to improve. We should get behind him and try to raise his confidence instead of piling more pressure on him. He's here and theres nothing anyone can do about It so get behind him and support him and the team.
Mark67
I totally agree. IMO he did nothing wrong last night, wasn't the worst player on the park against Rangers, and same with Atletico (in fact IMO I thought he was one of our more productive players).
It's not Samaras we should be moaning at, it's the selection of Samaras when comparing his form and how the team works when we have Stokes/Hooper instead.
I feel for the guy. Some of the murmers within the stands were shocking last night and in general.
I agree we probably have been too patient and he should've been offloaded, but he simply can't be blamed for all the team's shortcomings and getting on his back won't do anything for his confidence. I'm also not convinced we use him properly and allow him freedom to get into the box etc. He's usually shoved on as a targetman but I prefer when he has the ball at his feet running at defenders.
I suppose it's the way of it. Just off the top of my head there's always a fall guy when things go wrong: Sammy, Loovens, Naylor, Donati... it's the same with Rangers and Mo Edu.
Aye if we get behind him we might be able to buy his 50 greatest goals dvd in about ten years.
All i can say about the majority of the above comments is you all have the patience of a saint, 2 seasons of waching Sams below par performances is enough for me, i take it all of you's go to games week in week out? .........Stevie
Mark, why the 67? Was that the year you were born? Or are you still holding on to that european cup? Only joking lol.
The exact same thing happened to Edu with ourselfs. Fans on his back but when he played games away from home he got the the backing and his confidence came back. Now we miss him when not in team (falkirk) lol. Every team wants a scapegoat and Samaras is your man. Do youse all think Lennon, Mowbray and Strachan play/played him just to piss the fans off?
Followfollow81
Sam is even worse away from home tight parks certainly don't suit him, my fear is one week he'll put in an outstanding performance and we'll stick by him for another 4 years.........Stevie

I'm gonna chance this little idea on your site, as in the main I think your Ed talks quite a bit of sense.
Football has changed immensely over the years, becoming more of a huge business to many a shrewd investor, however Scottish football has lagged behind over the last decade.
But football in Scotland will turn the corner, everything goes around in circles in football.
This is where future thinkers are required in the upper echelons of our game.
Maybe a review of the point system is required, to further reward good attacking goal scoring play.
The future of Scottish football is in the youngsters of today, who require the right coaching, guidance and education in how to play the beautiful game.
I would go as far as building a 100,000 seater stadium for both Rangers and Celtic to share, rented from the council as is the case in Spain.
Intrest in our game at supporter level is urgently required, as TV is winning the home viewing game and people have other means of spending their hard earned cash.
Its time for both clubs to sit down and discuss where Scottish football will be in 15 years time, and not regale us of both teams great histories.
Bosley. {Ed007's Note - Thanks very much for thinking I talks sense, I think you might be in the minority there ;-) You make some very good and valid points. I wrote this a while back about Scottish football:
www.celticrumours.co.uk/celtic-news/celtic-news239.php
Bosley, first where would you build this 100,000 stadium and what would happen to hampden, ibrox and parkhead there is limited room to expand maybe more at ibrox, but would celtic fans go there? Or rangers fans to parkhead?
Most celtic fans dont want labelled as "old firm", too many negatives with hooligan rangers fans.
In Germany they have re inroduced some standing areas and reduced ticket prices, the clubs have also re ingaged with their supporters, some thing like that in Scotland is needed.
Why can't celtic use internet and television channel to focus on USA market for instance.
Examine possibility of new european league with clubs of our stature like Benfica, Porto, Sporting Lisbon, Ajax, Feyernoord, Anderlecht, Feherbache, Olympiakios, more can be added.

30 Sep 2011 16:18:51
I thought Celtic fans are the best In the world ? 25000 at a European game ? Aye I'll crack the jokes
25,000 more than were at ibrox watching EUROPEAN football this week.
I think you'll find the official attendance was 37'000 more than your lot got against world beaters Maribor and malmo
Did you ever think that a 6pm kick-off time might have played a part in the low attendance figure? Still at least it was fuller than i-box
Still louder than ipox haha!!
Its not like the old days when you would just have a sicky.
nowadays bosses will try and link sickness records to football games and you could end up without a job.
I couldn't go either for 2 reasons 1. I couldn't get away from work in time..although suppose could have went late 2. I have 2 sons that play football and were told if they didn't turn up for training last night, they would be dropped for this weekend's games !
30 Sep 2011 15:03:25
In a bit of a 'Tizzy' today.. Lot of contrasting posts each have valid points about the team and NL etc.
We did fail to beat a very young side - and we knew it would not be their full team in advance - so NL chose his side accordingly regardless of age.
Anyway many of the players we had with European experience have been replaced as NL built his team.
Therefore we have inexperience on the pitch and in the dugout which has been a problem IMO.
We do have some good talent, but our recent European successes are fast fading as we drop down the ratings and lose our fine reputation.
I said on here before the appeal that I feared this tournament would be detramental to moral, confidence and hinder our league campaign and I stand by that - as the table reflects this.
We all want the big European nights at Paradise but the supporters won't pay top dollar for 'B' movies.
I do not approach any game with confidence where last season we looked the part for many months.
It will be difficult to win the SPL while chopping and changing the side every week and if we triumph in the end, will the manager and team be any better prepared for European football?
Answers on a postcard please...Jinky Fan
Which players with european experience are you referring to. The only one I can think of is McGeady. Any others that had experience in europe were sold by Mowbry and most of the one's we can't give away were bought by him. NL has had 1 full season to assemble a team which came very close to winning a championship managed by arguably 1 of the best managers in scotland who was given significant funds contrary to what we are expected to believe. Our points total last season was our highest since 2003. Most of the changes to our starting lineups this season have been forced by injury. I don't think we had many options available with regards to last nights lineup so NL chose more or less the only team available. I don't see NL being sacked regardless of who wins the league for the simple reason we don't have the money to overhall the squad yet again. We have a young team which will improve through time and experience and I think people need to be more patient. As far as I'm concerned NL has had 1 season to win the league on the back of the shambles TM left behind and I would rather we stuck by him and let him finish what he started. Bringing someone else in and starting to rebuild again is a waste of time and money and will put us further back than we are just now.
Mark67
I agree with your points Mark..think some rangers fans are of the impression the likes of Jelavic was donated by a charity. We do have a young team showing potential and as I have posted before, nerves and self belief is where the problem is (and a shaky defence). When folk post about a team that can compete in Europe, who is it they think we can afford ? Football is totally dominated by money and from the looks of things to come...the Russian Mafia.
30 Sep 2011 13:29:58
Funny how we were in control of the game til a certain player came on and fluffed two good chances, they go up and score. Pen or not we should be beating a far from strong Udinese youth side. It's getting embarrassing. On the plus side hopefully Zaluska has shown he is better then Forster and Wanyama performed well. I could see Lennon getting sacked on Monday if we lose at Hearts. Time and time again he was warned Samaras would cost him his job and I think its very close to happening. Too many bad results in the last few years and little to no success. Fans favourite or not u have to be good enough to be Celtic manager and I'm sorry to say we are going nowhere. If anything, we are going back. 3 years ago we were expected to beat Barca or Man Utd at home. Now, we believe a draw against a youth team is a good result? If that's the case then Celtic have lost their ambition and are in drastic need of change. Bring back Wee Gordon! Football wasn't great but he got results, something we havent got since he left.
Jamie
You do know we had the same amount of under 23's playing right?
Something got to give at parkhead wee lennon has lost the plot losing the support of the money men please go weeman before you loss the support of us in the stand s you tried but it's not happening over the other end they have every right to gloat made 5or6 signings and look not too bad for the peanuts they paid bring back someone with a football brain dr jo etc they knew how to play to a standard nl trying too hard for the team he loves rangers hibs 1 each draw 2-1 to us at tincastle {Ed007's Note - How has signing NL's first choice as GK (albeit on loan), NL's first choice CB (Wilson), Wanyama (who is regarded as a great prospect hence him gaining a WP), Matthews (who was wanted by PL clubs), Bangura (like Wanyama, a highly regarded prospect) and El Kaddouri (who NL tried to sign before Izaguirre) shown that the money men don't have faith in him? We have spent a lot more than Rangers, still in Europe, still in the League Cup and still in the title chase. It is not even October yet.}
I don't think Celtic have lost their ambition, I do however think you have lost your sense of reality. How anyone can hold Samaras responsible for the fact we drew is beyond me.
Mark67
When were celtic ever expected to beat barca and man utd? And u cant blame samaras for evrything one player dosent make a team and that goes both ways

i cant fathom why stokes gets left out of team his goals for ratio is as good as hooper he scores a wider range of goals than hooper he is 10 times better than samarass . hooper plays better alongside him his workrate is better than both but he takes all the criticism and we are told his decision making needs to improve and he is greedy i think this could be appliedto the three of them not just stokes hooper is a penalty box player take him out of there and he is average at best he cant trap or control a pass and with his back to goal almost every attack breaks down with him and samaras is to put it bluntly s**te. and back to the greedy point stokes will make attempts from anywhere some go in some dont but he tries how many shots did our strikers have last night 2 ? im not wrting this as his biggest fan as he needs to improve his game i beleive he can but dont the other strkers
30 Sep 2011 12:06:18
Good result for Celtic last night. Need to win their home games though as they don't know when they might make it back into Europe. Need to enjoy it while they can!
30 Sep 2011 11:51:51
Read Annie McGuires match report from last night. She felt the need to mention Udinese starting 11 had 7 players age 23 or under. If she's going to mention this why did she fail to mention that Celtic's starting 11 also had 7 players age 23 or under? Is this an oversite or just another attempt to make scottish football look bad?

Celtic ed, I posted earlier and yous never posted it, can't you tims take a bit of banter, 10 points clear by saturday ha ha WATP happy bear {Ed007's Note - I'm not long logged in so it must have been complete nonsense for one of the English Eds not to post it. How can you be happy when you feel the need to moan about your post not getting through? ha ha Hail Hail}
10 points clear? What I love about rangers fans is they won the 1st of 4 old firm games & they went mental ?! Honestly see if you knew nothing about football you would have thought they won the world cup. Now Celtic have a hard game away from home to hearts but now it's aw were 10 clear by sat yeeha? Take the blinkers off, your teams out of 3 cups by September, 7 PTS clear with 3 old firm games still to go + playing at hearts etc away from home use might be on form & Celtic might not have got the best start but least were in 3 comps makin money & can buy players where as the other side of the city are dreading November (whatever way it's goes) & jan with the window opens.may is a long time away.....
By the way, how busy was ibrox last night ?
Come on you bhoys in green
Lenny.
Lets face it celtic are out of the europa league m8..the league i think has passed you by this season..and the money you have..dont make me laugh..why dont you spend it gto stop rangers on the football field instead of haviving pies like big dan and sammy in your team {Ed007's Note - Can anyone make any sense out of this? I thought the Europa League was a league, did we get put out last night and nobody bothered telling us? The domestic league finishes in May, not September and as for money.... LMAO. Lets's face it, Rangers are out of 3 cup competitions before September weekend, can't afford to sign any 1st 2nd or 3rd choice of player, have very few players that are worth anything to other teams apart from GS's made up lies, and are financial meltdown. Not to mention thinking because they won the first of 4 league games against CFC that the season is over. Just because you are out of 3 cups doesn't mean the season is over, there is still plenty to play for, for other teams. Our season ends in May, not September. Do you know what, that kind of does make me laugh.}
Yip.your still in the europa league going through the motions..to think you have a chance to win it is laughable.even the celtic faithfull are slowly giving up on the league..you have a realistic chance of winning 2 diddy cups..and as for the players that aint worth anything to any other team..the same set of players that have won the league the past 3 seasons?..then what does this say about the class of player at parkhead? {Ed007's Note - Nobody has ever said CFC are going to win the EL. Anyone who is giving up on the SPL title can't really know much about football so I tend not to listen. The 2 diddy cups are more at least one more than Rangers can win. How old is Davie Weir now? Who would buy McClugger, Kylie or who wanted any the players that Rangers signed this summer? As a CFC fan I am enjoying seeing my team competing in Europe, progressing in the League Cup and competing in the SPL. Rangers have only SPL matches to look forward to until that other diddy cup kicks off. What a great day to be a Tim.}
How many league games did celtic lose in total last season? {Ed007's Note - 4.}
A wee bit like watching the rangers last season..only in the champions league..only difference is rangers went on to complete 3 tittles in a row..and a diddy cup.not bad with a team of 3rd or 4th rate players..the players that performed better than celtics last term..as the final league table confirmed..i ask again if we are 3rd rate and win thwe league..what does this say about the class of player at celtic? {Ed007's Note - We weren't good enough so we spent money on players? It's not often you see the words 'Rangers' and 'class' in the same sentence, with their distinct lack of any.}
Old man weir..the same old man that lead rangers to 3 in row.most other spl captains would love to have have in davys shoes the final game of last season rather than scott browns dont you think? {Ed007's Note - Yeah, I can see every other captain saying 'I'm old enough to be some of these guys dad. I really am pathetic and clutching onto my career, I wonder how many games they will beg me to play next season. I want my horlicks.'}
Lol.lol..dont worry ed when you cant explain how our 3rd rate players keep winning the league against the celtic galicticos.just revert to the tax man.even with a ten point deduction 2morrow tea tim rangers would still be top of the league.lol.lol {Ed007's Note - Where did I mention the tax man? Is tea tim what CFC supporters drink?}
You spent money on players..now your squad are performing worse that last season..you had 7 or 8 straight wins chalked up this time last term..have you signed diddys?..teh way you talk your players were not as good as the 3rd rate team at ibrox so you went out and spent to improve.yet this is celtics worst start to a league campaing in a few years..theres something not right somewhere ed? {Ed007's Note - I know, it's in the Rangers boardroom.}
I think your a wee bit annoyed the ed..ive never seen you pick holes in poeples spelling.your usually the first to scold others for this..you didnt mention the tax man..but i think your about to..lol.lol {Ed007's Note - Why are you worried about him?}
Yeah, I can see every other captain saying 'I'm old enough to be some of these guys dad. I really am pathetic and clutching onto my career, I wonder how many games they will beg me to play next season. I want my horlicks.'}
REAL lack of class there ED. You are becoming a bit of an embarasment... Big DW has shown his class time again. A no mark, with serious "issues" like you has got some brass neck to come out with p*sh like that
30 Sep 2011 11:39:04
Rangers fan here unlucky for last night never a pen. Even tho it wasnt ther first choice 11 its still a good point when u think rangers and celtic both got knocked out in the 1st round reli do hope celtic do well ( in europe only) the whole league needs the old firm to build some pride back
gazza 72
Get real gazza you hope they do well in Europe for god sake we are still getting 1967 rammed down our throats and how long did we get 9 in a row thrown at us until we equalled it. that's all we need is for them to do well in Europe just giving them ammo to batter us with lol i have always made my point clear i always hope for a strong and successful Celtic just not as strong and successful as us. i hope the point last night is the only point celtic get the only good thing about them still being in Europe is it could benefit us if they pick up a few injury's to their key players or tiredness sets in. i think Celtic tired in the second half of the OF game due to exertions of the mid week game against Athletico and i hope the same happens against Hearts.
Tony
I live in england now mate they still go on about 66 so mayby am use to it haha . But the truth is if celtic had nit got back into to europe the spl would be on the same uefa ranking as the likes of san marano (spelling) and wales and ireland and that it shocking. Dont get me wrong i dont like lennon and i would pray for him too fail fail but he dosent need anyones help to do that
gazza 72
Cheers gazza 72 its nice to see a decent rangers fan on our page.
tony what can i say, you sound a bit bitter.
Im not bitter m8 do Man utd fans want Man City to do well do everton fans want Liverpool to do well do spurs fans want chelsea to do well the answer is no it dont make them bitter m8 its just that Celtic are not only our greatest rivals they are our only rivals so of course i dont want them to do well when we where playing Malmo or Maribor where you hoping we would do well i seriously doubt it
Tony
Gazz well in mate ill be honest, when rangers went to the final in 2008 I wanted them to do the damage (but not in the final) lol more so this year as above Scottish football is just a laughing stock, hopfully next year & Years to come both sides do well in Europe reason being puts Scottish football on the map, & if both teams can beat your man utd etc then naked people think twice & gives us a better cv if we both want out of the spl cause Craig White saying he wants rangers in the EPL the 1st thing anyone would say is uses can't even get by/into the group stages of both Europa & CL(not a dig there gazz)
As for Tony I take it you one off your fellow people who write on here and say stuff like them,the mankey mob list goes on...seems more often that not that what most (using that word lightly) call us when (again used lightly) most of us just call the the H**s not what's called above.
No being childish or that but just seems a bit bitter (b4 anyone jumps on the bang wagon aye there is properly a small amount on here calls uses all the f & b under the sun)
Mon the hoops
Lenny {Ed007's Note - I thought Rangers did do the damage in Manchester?}
Haha ed thats funny but saddly manchesters just another reason on a growing list of why rangers and celtic will never play in epl. The only way it could ever happen is if sky force the issue because english clubs could not surrvive without good old ruperts money
Gazza 72 {Ed007's Note - SKY don't have the power to do anything about it. They are scared of clubs like Man Utd, LFC, Chelsea etc negotiating their own individual deals when the contract is up which would mean fans would pay only for their team's matches and the club make even more money than they do just now. Every club in England would need to vote for it, the EPL is still part of the FA. The FA/EPL could easily launch their own pay per view deal as well. The notion of SKY holding this great power over the EPL is a myth, when have SKY forced them to do anything? Even the fixture changes managers complain about are part of the contract. If SKY gave them an ultimatum then SKY would be the losers.}
Ahh did not relise they could do that ed. Am sure rqngers were talking about doing that not too long ago but were told they couldnt. I know there trying to get a deal with fox in the us so god knows how that will go down with sky/espn
Gazza 72 {Ed007's Note - Fox are owned by Murdoch as well.}
Tony you really are a fud ! Even you must realise that you might have equalled Celtic's 9 in a row , but your previous owners frivelous attempt to equal our "major , never to be repeated by a Scottish club" achievement of winning the European Cup is the reason that your club is in the financial pooh pooh (oh i forgot your in denial about HMRC and LLoyds) , you have once again shown yourself up for the narrow minded sheep in blue tinted glasses that everyone knows you are , feel free to reply , No European football , No European money which Mr Whyte was relying on and No treble by September weekend , Celtic have over 30 league games , 3 versus Rangers , 2 of them at home , we CAN still do the treble ,and still have the "distraction" of European football , which Rangers and their fans (including yourself Nobby) were desperate for , or why bother entering in the first place ? , the prizes are handed out in May , lets wait and see who gets them , there's a lot of water to pass under the bridge , yous will lose your "10 point lead" if yous go into administration , which to most Rangers fans (those not still in denial) is a real possibility , so lets just wait and see Anthony !
30 Sep 2011 11:28:49
Zaluska our new no 1?.
Thought he did well last night, got a rush of blood to the head though towards the end when he pulled the ball inside, dummied and then kicked into touch.
Still though I think he deserves a run of games.

Don't know about no1 but Lennon should play him more ! Keeps both men on there toes + what if Forster gets sent off,breaks something ? Big man looked good but think any goalie who comes to park any time soon will be compared to AB.
Come on you bhoys in green !

Tony if you can't be honest or neutral f off back to the Rangers banter page , that was never a penalty in the creation of hell , define throwing himself into the guy ? he stood his ground with his arms above him out of the way , the player Neuton ran into him and threw himself to the ground , the referee had the perfect view , but still gave a shocking decision , Celtic played well tonight , albeit against a weakened Udinese team , they deserved to win , but were once again cheated out of victory , if happened to Rangers i would be honest and man enough to say so , you just can't take off the blue tinted specs my man .
here we go again fed up telling people to read the damn post properly
take a look at my post i did say the penalty was harsh as for hooper trying to get out of the way you need to get a better telly or a better seat at park head yes hoopers arms were up in the air but his chest was that far out in front of him he is either part pigeon or Dolly Parton in disguise he never tried to get out of the way the exact opposite happened he tried to get in the way not enough to cause a penalty as i stated in my previous post
Ed be honest do you think Hooper done everything to get out of the way as NL stated
Tony {Ed007's Note - Hooper is turning to go for the ball, when he sees he isn't going to get it he holds his arms out. When any players do that then obviously their chest goes out. Neuton done exactly what any continental player seems do to, he felt contact and went down easily. Hooper did try to pull away from any challenge. Do you think it would have got a free kick anywhere else on the park? I don't.}
Probably not Ed all i know if it happened to hooper up at the other end of the pitch the majority of celtic fans would be shouting for a penalty and the same goes for us if it was jelavic going down we would be shouting for a penalty if it was goian making the contact we would be shouting dive i try and look at decisions in the context of if it was the other way round how would i see it.
you say would it be a free kick if it happened anywhere else i said no my biggest gripe regarding inconsistencies is when a player obstructs the opposition while shielding the ball when its going out for a goal kick anywhere else on the park it would be a free kick
Tony {Ed007's Note - That does my nut in as well Tony. It is obstruction, there is no debate about that. I agree with you that if it was up the other end I would have been screaming for another penalty, but I try to look at things a bit more fairly on here. If that had happened in a game where I had no allegiance to any side would it be a penalty etc? Say for example watching the CL highlights and you seen that penalty in another game, you would have thought it was a soft one.}
I have said all along ed it was very soft dont know why the original poster told me to take off the blue specs could understand if i said it was a stone waller lol
Tony {Ed007's Note - So much for having extra officials on the park as well.}
Ed i think youll find it was the same extra ref that gave the celtic peno. Ref didnt look like he was going to giv it at first
Gazza72 {Ed007's Note - Well he never flagged for it.}
He dosent have a flag lol

Right where do I start firstly I saw a link about samaras to cardiff. I have looked and there dosnt seem to be any truth to this. But I personally would pay them to take him. Secondly I am getting seriosly fed up with neil saying what a great performance it was against a team playing reserve players. The sickening thing is that even strachan with caldwell and mcmanus and even crosas and evander snow could have beaten this team. Shouldnt have been a penalty but lennon got tactics all wrong in last 20 min. Another disapointment in a big game dont know how much more i can take!

Well done NL and well done Bhoys. At last something to be proud of. IMO it was all very positive with few failures from team selection tactics etc...Its funny how when you pick the right team ie the best players as your first 11 available in the squad the tactics seem less important. Ok we lost a late goal to a penalty which was very soft but compared to the one we conceded against Juve at the alalpi? it was less controversial. I think the team performance was more satisfying than the result and the Kenyan boys performance although not on a par with BB at Juve was very satisfying...as was the whole teams. Lets see if we can keep it up...
Are you kidding mate or are you a from the dirty side of the city, cant believe you are happy about a draw at home ok it shouldnt have been a penalty, but the team were better than us in the second half and they werent playing a full team. If this was strachan we would be shouting for his head another big game another disapointment! Neil I love you but the clock is ticking!
Mate I dont really go in for using such language to describe Rangers supporters (dirty side of the City) I find it even more offensive that you decry and attempt to undermine my relevant realistic and reasonable comments by suggesting that I am a closet Rangers fan. I have supported by beloved Hoops for almost 50 years and I dont see why I should have to defend my credentials to you. I am happy we are making progress and that the Bhoys did as good a job as they could by playing to their potential. How many of them do you think would get into Udinese's squad? Of course if the Italians had played their full first team we would've probably lost. I think the way you support the team is to give credit when its deserved but I am a bit of a traditionalist in that regard.
