..........Timalloy Comedy Hour..........
Here are a few rejigged song titles, see if any bears can guess the subject LOL

Here is a Kinks classic "the taxman's taken all my dough, I cant even sail my yacht"
With apologies to Johnny Paycheck, Mr Whyte has brought out "Me and the HMRC"
Craigie boy has remastered this Billy Bragg classic
"Ideology" ( I don't believe in paying my bills)
His next song on the album is 1690 Blues
A Marvin Gaye song is next to get the special Whyte treatment "Inner city blues" (make me wanna holler)
Finally his big Christmas single to raise money to pay his debts Craig Whyte sings Wille Nelson
Who'll buy my memories (Pleeasse)
So there you have it a fun album for all you bears

How s**te we are ? Sorry but there's a old saying that goes: your only as good as your last game - Thursday 3-1 to Rennes. Who did rangers play on Thursday night ? Lol aw aye forgot you were out of 3 comps by September. I'm sick of the tax case pish hence how I never talk about it. Reason we talk about it tho, Murray sold rangers knowing hes done the damage, whytes took a chance on a business deal that might not work out but being a smart man if rangers go down the creek he walks away not losing a penny ? So even he knows the damage of the club that's why know one bought it.

Celtics state of affairs it a easy fix now commons & Lennon have 'made up' a win against a top side in France should spur us on to success. We're on the way up when rangers start the trip down.

Germinator, Tony the Ger final word on subject of europe. Rangers will never ever equal the feat of Glasgow Celtic FC winning the European Cup, Murray tried to buy this cup and has now put your club in so much soapy bubble you will be lucky to even play in any euro competition in next 3 years hail hail Timalloy
PS on your site all bears gloating about which Celtic players would get in your team, firstly it should be other way around how many bears would get in Celtic team. But this team will NEVER be equalled
Simpson, Craig, Gemmell, Murdoch, McNeil, Clark,
Johnstone, Wallace, Chalmers, Auld and Lennox
GREATEST team supported by GREATEST fans in the world, and oh bears WELCOMED everywhere unlike troublesome bears LOL Timalloy

Believable3 Unbelievable4

Literally broke the bank trying merely equalling a domestic record set by Celtic.... Their European exploits have always been embarrassing

Agree5 Disagree5

Only 28,000 of the greatest fans in the world bothered turning up last night though

We'll see how many of your "fans" turn up when you've no pretend stars above your badge, no quality players and no history!

What happened to all your Leyton Orient Rankers pish anyway? lol

Ask the Romanians, The Spanish (continually), The Portuguese and O yes, the people of Manchester.

Celtic co efficient for (supporters) performance in Europe 100%

now let that be the end of it we have helped more. FACT

however still not good enuf (from either team) we need more nights like last night from celtic ... we need gers to be in it too !

Germinator
(ed on a different note or any other posters what was the celtic banners about ? I seen a post about a celtic fan saying he was not happy about them? I dont know if there was anything hence hy im asking cheers) {Ed007's Note - I don't know what they were Germ, I find some of them a bit pathetic TBH and should be supporting the club/players/legends other than political stuff.}

Believable0 Unbelievable1

Sorry Germinator, unless you can prove these figures are accurate not just made up by some bear, I still say Celtic have made up a lot of coefficient points this year, you are probably going on last years figures. Think about it Rangers have lost ground in europe this time, while Celtic have gained ground (and points) the gap was even less last year so how can the gap have grown bigger when you lot are out of europe. Tell the truth unlike your owner Whyte hail hail Timalloy {Ed007's Note - Have a read at this Tim, scroll down to Scotland:

kassiesa.home.xs4all.nl/bert/uefa/data/method4/ccoef2012.html

Agree0 Disagree0

Lol they are taken from uefa's site person ! You clearly dont have aclue what they are or how they are calculated Tim ...... fair do's i had no idea you were in need of education :oP

Germinator

Agree1 Disagree1

Who cares about the Co-Efficient?

I find it lame that folk would use this as some of argument. Scotland's co-efficient is LOW, end of!

No matter what way anybody puts it, Rangers and Celtic accumulate very low amounts of points in Europe.

Rangers have accumulated more than Celtic but it's not the point, both teams should be accumulating high amounts.

No case for an argument here....just drop it the lot a yees:D!!

TonyTheGer

Agree0 Disagree0

TonyTheGer - I have to agree, Scottish football is breaking my wee heart at the moment and sadly I don't see things improving anytime soon. BUT will always love my team.

I seen an kinda interesting debate recently regarding the Under 19's playing in this Next Gen tournament, Celtic youth are defo holding their own against Barcalona, Man City & Marseille - where does the gap happen, where does it all go wrong ? - Mrs C

Agree0 Disagree0

ED007, Germinator I looked at Bert kassias and official UEFA website and neither was up to date if you are telling me they are now including last night's results I accept it. But what I still find strange is last year the coefficient gap was LESS than this year, please can someone explain to me how when rangers went out early and Celtic get coefficient points (2) just for group stages then we have 5 points plus 2 wins UEFA gave us over Sion hail hail Timalloy {Ed007's Note - I have no idea how up to date the figures are mate, you know it bores me to tears wading through it all lol that's why I put up with you, I know you will do it ;-) If I am talking to 001 or 002 I will ask their advice on it. Or get them to answer a post regarding it.}

Agree0 Disagree0

Lol tim it woyld appear to me that this is u admittin u fown know what it is or how its calculated......but the figs are from last year...they are updated every july 1st...lol na just mockin..im sure there is stuff in football im eaqually not inowing..(genuine)...im on way home from a works nite out pretty steamin..ps tasty wee blonde just sat next to me on bus....good times...apologies for errors guys and hav good weekend...both sides ......germinator...... please drink responsibly!....typin on fone is murder!

Tony the Ger, you are having a giraffe about Whittaker, Papac and Broadfoot, even your own fans slate them every week, and don't get ME started on Edu or Laughterty two donuts.
Last season KI, Kayal, Ledley and Commons wiped the floor with Rangers in all the league games and Scottish cup, yes this season they are off the boil, but good players will find their form again, unlike the donkey rangers players mentioned above.
A mention of Naismith, I wished him well in his injury but he caused it himself by his reckless challenge on Milson, and again referee look other way instead of taking action for dangerous tackle. Naismith is a good player but he tries in every game to get players booked or worse sent off, he is a troublemaker. hail hail Timalloy

Believable4 Unbelievable1

Naw .... no gers fans slag papac the guys ahs been a rock for the last 3 yrs, lafferty cannot be faulted for the way he has playing in the last 20 games or so. Broadfoot ill give u tho as useful as an ash tray on a motorbike !

Germinator

Agree3 Disagree0

Timalloy...i think we're making them nervous ?! lol

Agree3 Disagree1

Lenny,

You obviously know many Rangers fans. Papac is a fans favourite amongst the Bears. He has been the most consistent player in the SPL for the past three seasons.

And I think you will find Jelavic has a better strike rate Hooper. Sorry to burst your bubble sweetheart.

So Naismith is a bad guy because he winds players up? Correct me if I am wrong but is not what Neil Lennon did in his career?

Lafferty may not be the best player in the league but you Celtic fans just can't bring yourselves to admit he is a decentg enough player....the in-form striker in the league at the moment.

Kayal and Ki have been found out for what they are this year, diddies. Decent enough players, but as good as you all make out.

TonyTheGer

Agree2 Disagree1

Cannot believe initial post, ki,kayal etc ''wiped the floor with them'', on that basis they should have strolled to the title.

Agree3 Disagree0

Papac is still not better than Izzy x

Agree2 Disagree2

Kayal a diddy? Are you for real? I work in a psychiatric hospital i don't hear that drivel even from them!

DazzaBhoy

Agree1 Disagree1

04 Nov 2011 13:59:43
Tony this is just a quick one. (not 100% sure if all are true)

Izzy player of the year.

Hooper Celtics top goal scorer & Hooper had the best strike rate in Britain with 20 goals in 26 games(0.77 per game). Also he was 4th in Europe with da Natalie ronaldo & messi. (Wikipedia) so not 100% on that b4 it gets threw back at me lol

Afternoon ED007 just wanted to comment on first the game last night, Rennes were no mugs they were fast on the break and had some clever players, after shaky start Celtic came on to game. Even Sammy had a decent game. My nephews loved it and want to go to more european games, sadly I had to tell them Rangers wont be competing for 3 years if administration strikes ha ha.
Germinator, all you silly bears trying to gloat about the coefficient, ALL Scottish teams have helped in this regard, it is swings and roundabouts over Celtic and Rangers bringing in more coefficient points, but I can tell you over last 30 years as a whole Celtic will have done more than Rangers in this regard.
As ED007 says, it was myself who did a breakdown of coefficients some while ago. Last year Rangers had a better coefficient than Celtic but this is now cancelled out this year by Celtic Ueropa run and Rangers early exits.
But the important thing is at least once club earns enough coefficient points to keep our two champions league places. hail hail Timalloy

Believable2 Unbelievable0

Christ tim jumpin in like heidless chicken AGAIN without readin the post right ya plum ..... firstly i congratulated celtic as i didnt think they would win, I said well done for helping out with the co-eff ... i only posted to end all the daft "same posts" about it and said instead of the daft arguin just stick to facts....but naw u wanted to wave the high and mighty wand about.

ps tim Uefa co-eff ranking has us above celtic.

You are world beaters........... SIMPLES !! We'll see how that coefficient helps you at fir park, laughable is what you are

Rangers European Record (Last 5 Yrs)

2011/2012 - P4 W0 D2 L2 (Malmo & Maribor) ENOUGH SAID !!

2009/2010 - P6 W0 D2 L4 (4-1 Home defeats to Sevilla and Uriney Urziceni)

2008/2009 - P2 W0 D1 L1 (Bombed out by Hearts reserve team, KAUNUS)

2007/2008 - P19 W7 D7 L5 (Recieved nice letter from Mayor of Barcelona, telling Rangers fan)


Thank God we have them to keep the co-efficient up then EH ?

Scottish football is in a sorry state ... 2nd and 3rd biggest clubs are in financial meltdown , staring at administration or even maybe liquidation , but on a brighter note Scotland's biggest and best supported club are flying the flag for Scotland in Europe !

In the last 10 years both Celtic and rangers have been to a uefa cup final. Celtic have been in the last 16 of the champions league 2 times. Rangers 1 time. Celtic played in a uefa cup quarrel final and ranger uefa cup last 32.,over 10 years Celtic gave the better record. But uefa only count the last 5.
In 5 years ranger have lost less games but Celtic have won more.

Believable1 Unbelievable0

RFC will not , i repeat NOT be competing in Europe next year and possibly , for longer wrecking both clubs co-efflicient achievements and continuing the country's downward spiral in Europe .

To all the Gers who are saying they have done their bit for co- efficiency. Aye you really rattled up the points over the last 2 years ya plums. Oh and as for this year lets look at the team who knocked you out quite easily, the mighty NK Maribor Europa league effort so far.
P 4 W 0 D 1 L 3 F 3 A 10 POINTS 1.

Aye you have did us proud right enough.

Joeshmo1888

Believable2 Unbelievable0

Joeshmo,

If you take into consideration Rangers' progression in Europe over the course of the past 3/4 years then you can see it from our point of view. We have progressed further in Europe than Celtic has in the same period of time. It IS Rangers' progression that has benefited the Co Efficient.

Celtic were lucky to get back into the Europa league, yes Sion fielded ineligable players, but Celtic still got pumped off them, and now the truth is coming out that Sion should STILL be in the tournament.

The Co-Efficient won't be better off with Celtic in Europe as they won't progress beyond the group stages.

TonyTheGer {Ed007's Note - There is no truth Sion should be still in the tournament, they knowingly cheated and broke rules that they had initially agreed to.}

Agree1 Disagree0

Its wins that give us good co - efficiency not 0-0 draws. How many wins have Rangers had in the last 5 years in Euope? I can propably count it on 1 hand.

Joeshmo1888

Agree2 Disagree0

Rangers have the worst rscord of all the british clubs who have taken part in the champions league.
Lowest pionts by a British club.
Highest home defeats
Highest away defeats
Most home defeats
Most overall defeats.

Agree4 Disagree0

Please reming how many points you lot have amassed over your entire away perfoemances in champions league ? Get a life, it is YOU LOT who are letting Scotland down !, But nothing knew there, eh ?

Agree2 Disagree2

You dont get bonus points for awa wins. We still have more wins in the Champions league than yo lot even thought we have played fewer games.

Agree1 Disagree0

04 Nov 2011 13:00:13
i noticed the ed hasnt said much ... wonder why .. is it perhaps he wont get drawn into a pointles areguement or cos he knows the outcome .... look to end the arguement,
anyone care to state the co-efficients of gers and celts ? anyone wanna state the co-efficients of scotland and break down who contributed what ?!

iv got a feeling not many timmys will answer this cos u cant argue facts.


Germinator {Ed007's Note - It has been covered before Germ, I'm sure Tony or Tim broke it all down, it is very boring and tedious working it all out, feel free to give it a bash though ;-)

Believable0 Unbelievable0

Couldnt agree more ed thats why i wrote that and didnt other spending the next half hour copying and pasting wen i already the end result :oP.

We all know gers have been the majority contributor scotland co-eff. good to see celtic doin their bit too... all we need now is both teams in the same season doing it.

Germinator

Agree0 Disagree0

Aw naw...your not going to put it on your jersey's as stars ?

Mrs E

Agree1 Disagree0

04 Nov 2011 11:49:39
Not soo much a good turn ... your merely echoing what gers have had to do fo the past 4 yrs. Well done tho .. I said the first leg would be a draw and last night thought rennes would win. But you deserved your win you played well, just papers over cracks tho ... you cant defend and strikers cant bail you out every game Lenny needs 2 decent CB's to add to Wilson. Will he get them ? doubt it ... i dont see the board investing a lot in him at crimbo if he could be outta job and celtic dont exactly have a track record of signing decent CBs of recent.

Germinator

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ lol you did what gers have done in the last 4 seasons. you must be joking . Rangers have only won 1 game in 25 . win more games and say you have been keeping scottish football going in europe.

Believable2 Unbelievable0

In Europe you don't need to win to progress, get through the group stages and then it's about away goals and keeping it tight at the back. Something you lot can't do.

Agree1 Disagree1

I think the best player in the world made comments on this manner of playing football (football, anti)

Agree1 Disagree0

Aye true enough but that can be fixed.

Who's rangers next game against in Europe ?

Come on you bhoys in green
Lenny

Agree1 Disagree0

Germinator , our board might or might not invest more money in Neil Lennon , but you can be one million % sure Craig Whyte will not be investing money in the Rangers team any time in the near future .

Agree0 Disagree0

04 Nov 2011 11:39:14
well celtic beat rennes well done but yous are sayin aw we get co efficient points and loads of mony from it .... rangers got beat 1-0 of man utd and got more money and more coeff points last season for 3 years weev carried scottish football once we win the league we will again !

not 1 celtic player could get into the rangers starting 11 thats how bad youd are

Believable2 Unbelievable3

Cheers for that ally.

Wouldn't get in the rangers team ? Funny how izzy,kayal,ki,hooper & Forrest are/have been watched by EPL teams? Rangers are on a good run just now but there not world beaters like your trying to make out.

Izzy - Players player of the Year & Player of Year in Scotland

Agree1 Disagree0

Typical ***, away back to your crayons!

If there was an "old firm" select team, it would be made up of mostly Celtic players.....

RB Matthews better than Broadfoot/Whittaker
LB Izzy better than Wallace/Papac
CM Kayal and Ledley better than McCulloch or Edu.
CF Hooper better than Laugherty!

I dont deny we haven't started well, but we do have the better squad!

And as for carrying scottish fitba son, the only placed your mob carried it was straight to UEFA with your violence in Manchester, singing in Valencia etc

Well seeing you didn't leave a name!

DazzaBhoy

Agree1 Disagree0

Dazza u have named 5 celtic players in the old firm select, that would mean the remaining 6 are gers players ......... but ur right it would be celtic dominated !! lol


MHUPPET !

Agree1 Disagree0

Dazza,

Are havin' a laugh. That is the worst case of comparing a set of players I have ever seen.

Matthews better than Whittaker?
Izzy better than Papac?
Hooper better than Lafferty?

Based on what?

Matthews is 2nd choice RB for Celtic, Whittaker is 1st choice for Rangers. Are you trying to tell me that Mark Wilson, Celtic's 1st choice RB is far superior than Whittaker? TURN IT UP BUD!

I ain't even going to get into a debate about the rest of your comment.

You naive little boy!

TonyTheGer

Agree1 Disagree1

Izzy is better than Papac....this is based on Izzy being Scotland's Player of the Year & Players' player of the Year :)

What if your argument based on ?

Agree1 Disagree0

Emilio Izaguirre is currently Scotland's footballer of the year Tony , heres a wee subject i'd like your views on , when Rangers go "bust" and Craig Whyte forms the "New Rangers" what would be your choice of name for your new club ? here are some suggestions ... AFC Rangers , Rangers United or maybe Govan Juniors perhaps , and your "new" club will have no domestic or European history , no 3 in a row , no 54 titles etc , and you and Germinator will have nowt to gloat about .

Agree1 Disagree1

As usual Tony is unwilling to share his views with us when Rangers future is up for debate , methinks he is clearly in denial as to the seriousness of his clubs' financial problems , he is only too happy to put his kneb in about matters relating to Celtic , so come on Tony lets hear your views on the preceding post .

Agree1 Disagree0

And you you have the facts to prove Rangers will go "bust"? Tell us all what you then??........

What's that? Oh, that's right, you know heehaww!!

Izzaguire might have been player of the year last year, he did have a big impact for Celtic, ain't denying that. I just think Papac is a better defender, simple as that.

I stated on another forum at the start of the season that Ki, Kayal, Hooper and Izzaguire would suffer second season syndrome and struggle this year, so far I have been correct, albeit Izzaguire is injured. The other three have struggled.

TonyTheGer

Agree0 Disagree1

No Tony i don't know for a fact that Rangers will go bust , but the FACT that Mr Bain and Mr McIntyre (who DO KNOW the state of Rangers finances) have ring fenced hundreds of thousands of £'s of Rangers money , which they are claiming in unfair dismissal , would suggest that just maybe Rangers are expecting bad news in the tax case , or maybe they know hee haw as well m8t , Mr Whyte has also admitted that administration is a REAL possibility , prospects looks bleak or am i missing something ? denial won't make it go away Tony .

Agree1 Disagree0

Tony you truely are a t*t!

Hooper much better than Laugherty, anyone try to buy Laugherty during any of the transfer windows? Eh no son

Izzy was voted player of the year by players supporters and football writers and you believe Papac is better......what the hell do you smoke son?

See how many times your on here in January when Jellyfish, McShagger and Davis are sold.......i mention them as they are the only players that would interest other clubs!

DazzaBhoy

Agree1 Disagree1

Is Hooper really MUCH better than Lafferty? How much better is Hooper than Lafferty?

And.........Who showed interest in Hooper? If he is SO good then why didnt the interested party attempt to sign him?

Player of the year means best player for that season.....numnuts. It doesnt automatically make you the best player in the league. I said all last season that Papac was my player of the year and I stand by that! Papac has always been seen as the unsung hero.

I don't care what anyone else says, Papac is the best full back in Scotland!!

Why are Celtic fans so freaking obsessed with the prospect of Jelavic, Davis and McGregor being sold, is that the only way you's will win the league?

TonyTheGer {Ed007's Note - Hooper's stats blow Laugherty's out the water throughout their career, look in the archives I have covered it a load of times. And Newcastle were interested in Hooper in the summer as Ed001 will confirm.}

Agree0 Disagree0

Ed. Even though I have gotten into this Hooper/Lafferty debate, I don't think there is a case to compare both players over the course of their careers as, even at Burnley Lafferty was played out of position. During Burnley's "Giant killing" period in the f.a cup 4 years ago he was played on the wing.

I think Lafferty has proven that, when given the chance as a striker, he will put the ball in the back of the net. His current run of form is the best in the league just now, even Hooper's.......

Is it anything to brag about if a team is "interested" in one of your players when they don't even make a bid?

One of the other posters stated Ki, Kayal and Hooper all generated I interest from the EPL.........that's total Raphael..

TonyTheGer

Agree0 Disagree0

Tony the reason Laugherty was played on the wing for Burnley was because the manager obviously didn't rate him as there top striker!

Ki, Kayal and Hooper are young and have already generated interest from down south, and will again son.

DazzaBhoy

Agree0 Disagree1

I think we have a bear in the wids just trying to stir it cos his team were sitting on there fat arses tonight when we were out there playing the best I've seen us play this season.

Hail Hail


To Hail Hail
Thats a cracker mate, yous have played 20 games so far and thats the best youve seen them playing. SAYS IT ALL. LOL

Believable0 Unbelievable0

Why is that a Laugh Out Loud moment ? What team do you support & are they bringing in much needed European football cash ?

Agree0 Disagree0

20 games yes. But if you used that head of yours you would maybe remember Celtic have 8+ players out so trying to get the same starting 11 is kind of hard when half your team is injured?

So after a 3-1 win to a French team with one of the next best mids in the world (m'villa) it's not a bad result considering it was a must win game for them ?

A could go on but think I've proved my point.

Come on you bhoys in green
Lenny

Ps hear Ibrox was empty last night ? Or was it craig whytes bank balance that was empty ? Can't remember.SAYS IT ALL LOL

Agree1 Disagree0

We have been doing it on our own for the last 3 seasons, keeping Scotlands co-efficient up single handedly.

Billyboy1

Agree0 Disagree1

Celtic didn't play well, they got passed off the park by a team who only had a midfield and got 3 breakaways which they scored from. Celtic were expected to finish above Rennes who have been underperforming, Udinese & Atletico Madrid will qualify. {Ed007's Note - Rangers fans said CFC wouldn't even get a point in the group, there was even talk of people betting on it. I take it you keep an eye on Lique 1 to know Rennes have been under-performing, just like CFC have been in our league?}

Well Done NL AT JM and yes even wee GP and well done The Bhoys! I am not going to go on about any negatives as there are none. Some posters are saying Rennes weren't that good well that just about says it all! Rennes are on paper worth a lot more than the Celtic team and have some of the cream of African and French young talent. Rennes are a good team and Celtic made them look ordinary. Thats down to Celtic no one else. Before the game Rennes manager said we are coming to Glasgow to WIN. Make no mistake they expected to win. Lets take this to Motherwell and show the pretenders how to play football...A great night!!

Believable2 Unbelievable1

Was that a crash of the " thunder " ? or, yer bottle crashing AGAIN, at Motherwell on Sunday ? Udinese and A.Madrid /// ? Yer maximum amount of points has been reached, ya dreamer ! Fir Park awaits you.....

Agree0 Disagree3

Dreaming about what numbnuts! You are so bitter and twisted you cannot see what a good turn the Bhoys did for Scottish football and you cannot (like so many of your ilk) give credit where due. The difference between Celtic fans and people like you who claim to be a football fan is that we can dream the dream whereas your nightmare is just about to start, your team will be dismantled and your institution will default on tax due which is tantamount to stealing out of the pockets of every Scottish and in you case British taxpayer. Not so good for the loyal old Union?. I am so pleased we got under your skin with a good result. Get back to the rock you crawled from. Jog on!

Will he get them ? doubt it ... i dont see the board investing a lot in him at crimbo if he could be outta job and celtic dont exactly have a track record of signing decent CBs of recent.

Hey imagine if we got justice in the last home euro game and didnt concede that last min pen! We'd have 7points! That would look a hell of alot better but I guess it's the league that were after so it's a side project gives lenny some good experience at a higher level too!! So a win at Well and things may not look so bad after all.
Cheers Bhoys

Final comment of the night, I think that Kayal and Wanyama were great tonight so keep it going, for me Ki has been shocking so think he needs a wee break. Even when Ledley plays in the middle it show;s so sorry Ki time for a wee sit down bud.

Cheers & Hail Hail

Just back in from the game and After our last euro game i gave my opinion on our performance . i will again and i would be happy for anyone elses opinion.

Forster- did well when needed , kicking was good tonight apart from one which was played across his left foot , 2 really good saves in 2nd half. ( did well )

cha - didn't do much going forward apart from the one cross in first half but never put a foot wrong defensively did well against the pacey winger.

Matthews - again not mutch going forward and lost the ball a few times but fantastic in defence again against a very fast winger , looked uncomfy on his left foot at time's but looks as if he can be a good player .

Loovens - did ok at time's gave a few really bad balls away in the first half that could have put us in trouble not to bad with the high balls at times.

Majstorovic - Could have possibly done better for their goal but i blame the zonal system more. a bit shaky at time's in the first half. Fantastic 2nd half took the extra responsability on with the young boy coming on and help talk him through the game . Always seemed to be in the right place for the high balls in the 2nd half .

Forrest - In my opinion he had a stop start game, good when he gets the ball but doesn't work hard enough getting back to support . in the 23 minute i think he lost the ball 2 players raced against du-ri and he just rogged back. got into a good possition for the shot that led to the first goal but i thought the keeper did very poorly.

Kayal - I have been critical of his this season but tonight was the best game i've seen him play for a while , sat as an anchor in the middle and controlled a lot of the play, lost the ball a few time but he worked hard to win the ball back .

Wanyama - Fantastic , Energy pace fight and movement . didn't do much in the first 20 minutes but then burst into life . As Kayal sat as an Anchor , Wanyama chased everything down . I really liked how the boy played tonight.

McCourt - Wasn't overly happy with how mccourt played ( only my opinion ) he never looked comfy taking players on . Possibly due to rennes pace .

Sameras - I was happy with Sameras tonight . but as usual fans got on his back early in the game for a few bad touches but he showed guts held the ball up well and gave celtic a target man for the long balls that we have been missing . A few really good runs , Fantastic knock on for the 2nd goal and a great pass to hooper for the 3rd. He showed that he's not really happy with the stick as he didn't over celebrate after he made the goals.

Stokes - Worked hard tonight on & off the ball tonight . got in a great position for the first goal . i though he lost it with the 2nd with his first touch but a great finsh in the end.


Young Fraser - Looked comfy , got himself in between the ball and the striker a few time and made a few really good tackles . didn't need to do much due to majstorovic good 2nd half.

Commons - didn't really do to much with the time he had . got involved a few times without doing anything fantastic. ( happy he's back )

Hooper - Again never really had much in the game apart from his goal . took his goal really well .

I'm not saying we have turned the corner as we have a very long way to go before we can say that . I'm just happy i can feel happy after a game at parkhead . Lets hope we can get a bit of consistancy and get a few results . but i'm not holding my breath.

whats you opinion ed. {Ed001's Note - 007 has knocked off for the night and I was busy working and didn't get to see any footie tonight so can't give an opinion on it sorry!}

Very good summary of the players, my top players were, Stokes, Forest, Forster, and Wanyama. I hope we don't get any big time talk in the papers from the players. Just go out and win on sunday, you are not world beaters, this is just what we expect from a Celtic team

I really really hope they don't do the 'big talk' to the papers...5/6 wins straight wins & I might stop taking my KALMS but until then - DOT (don't think I like DOT ED - might change it) {Ed007's Note - No worries Mrs Cotton, like I said it is your choice, it just helps with the interaction if you look through posts, allows people to speak/debate directly with you rather than causing confusion.}

Agree0 Disagree0

Mrs Cotton has done it....I think we'll go with Mrs Emerald (my birthstone & a crackin colour).

Can I just say I won't hear a word against James Forrest on here or I will hunt you down and kill you lol {Ed007's Note - ;-)

Agree0 Disagree0

Time to start hunting because i dont think forrest is that good he is a decnt player but doesnt track back he is often out muscled and loses possesion to much and his final ball is shocking

Agree1 Disagree0

He's a young guy & has been playing his heart out which is more than can be said for some ! In this game (Scottish football) work-rate & Attitude will take you miles.

I note you never left a name ?

Mrs E

Agree0 Disagree0

I agree with what you said mrs e he does work hard and hopefully will only get better but i stand by my original post that he gets outmuscled ,loses possesion and has a shocking final ball to often and if spurs were to make a bid i wood take the money and bring in templeton to replace him and use the rest of the cash to strengthen other areas of the team

I would bring in Templeton anyway esp if Hearts are offering him for £500,000 (if rumours are to be believed)...

I stand by my original post, I won't hear a bad word against Forrest :) - Mrs E
