We played crap and still pumped them. Roll on the 29th😁.

08 Dec 2019 22:52:38
Glorious result, uncharacteristic performance. Until pen I thought Frimpong was our best attacking threat. Don't know what went wrong as middle to front we were rank. It's good when bad day at the offices ends with another trophy and extra sweet when its against the mob.

09 Dec 2019 08:05:19
We were too easily bullied and out-fought from middle to front.
Our lack of height and strength on the ball from the likes of McGregor, Morgan, Forrest, Hayes, Elyannoussi, Christie and Johnston was a big factor, where skill and touch can sometimes be snuffed out by weight of numbers and power.
Nonetheless, a major factor is experience, organisation and winning mentality and that is where we held all the aces - and 'The Wall'.

08 Dec 2019 21:53:40
guys. jonny hayes he to my knowledge has never let us down. in my view we should be keeping him. his attitude is terrific and his work rate is immense. god bless jonny hh.

08 Dec 2019 21:58:57
Not good enough.

08 Dec 2019 22:09:43
Johnny Hayes is rank rotten! Work rate alone shouldn’t be enough to play for Celtic! There was a spell in the 2nd hand were it was actually embarrassing to watch! Played on there forwards more than once and his use of the ball was horrendous! Seems like a crackin wee guy but he’s nowhere near the standard we need! Taylor and boli are obviously the 2 first picks and I hope to god they stay fit!

08 Dec 2019 22:11:18
Robroy he was crap today, especially first half. Puts in the effort but lacks quality for me, saying that he's not a lb.

08 Dec 2019 22:24:14
We Johnny not for me great from the bench. Not not my first pick. Not sure what Lenny was thinking as Morgan never an out and out centre forward as our players had nobody to pass to so played without a proven centre forward to pass to then eddy came on and you seen the difference. Griff should have been on at least he would have been in the correct position.

08 Dec 2019 22:36:33
Wow, I’m shocked about these critical comments especially from kev, to me second mom after glorious Forster ✊🏼🇮🇪.

08 Dec 2019 22:48:57
Johnny Hayes was one of the few players to get pass marks today in my opinion.

08 Dec 2019 23:01:08
lennonAtWork. my thoughts too.

08 Dec 2019 23:09:30
Na not for me lads! He’s a trier I’ll say that but he seriously lacks quality! But like someone else said he’s never a left back in a million years! Thought he was particularly poor today but to be honest! But saying that so were most of his team mates lol! Just hope boli and Taylor stay fit for the games coming up.

08 Dec 2019 23:53:17
Nonsense guys! Hayes never let's us down. First half it was him and Frimpong who offered themselves and tried to make something happen at least👍 Hayes is a cracking squad player and definitely worth keeping.

09 Dec 2019 01:25:01
In the first have he passed to our team once. 3 times he got in to a good position by overlapping and couldn't beat the 1st man.
He is no where near good enough and should not get near our team, even the bench when everyone's fit.
Being a hard working honest pro isn't good enough to be a celtic player.

09 Dec 2019 02:15:26
Sevco are a 1 trick pony, put opposing full backs under pressure and hope for the best. If we had our first choice full backs starting, they wouldn't have been anywhere near as dominating first half.

They can try and slate club all they want for scrappy win but end of the day we won! They have a short memory as last season when they beat us 1-0 ball deflected off Brown and we never heard the end of it.

08 Dec 2019 21:29:34
Do you think gerrard will mention why his team never gave us the ball back, or will he leave it to the motherwell manager to explain it.

08 Dec 2019 21:59:57
They also went straight down the tunnel and never watched us lift the trophy.

08 Dec 2019 22:11:19
Classless from top to bottom!

08 Dec 2019 22:49:29
To be fair they wouldn't have seen us lifting the cup through all those tears.

08 Dec 2019 20:46:45
We played poor today; that is the thrid game of four against THEM that this high pressing style they play has saw a poor passing performance.
We clearly need more up top with a strong outlet if we are to kick long out of defence. Perhaps going to an old fashioned 4 4 2. Two strong tall forwards battling their defenders If we don't but let's hope Bayo can support Awesome in the front line.
Another centre half and if we get Victor, he would have loved today
.

08 Dec 2019 20:19:09
Looks like the newco will have to wait a while longer for their first major trophy.

{Ed007's Note - The way things are going the Klan will soon be claiming Al Ahly as the world's most successful club. #GoingFor55

08 Dec 2019 21:38:12
The first time I hear them do that I will lmao and recall these words of wisdom.

{Ed007's Note - 😁

08 Dec 2019 19:31:10
OOFT THAT HAS GOT TO HURT

Even when Celtic have an off day and Sevco dominate most of game, we still FEKIN GUB THEM.
For Goram read Forster
For Tommy Burns (RIP) read Gerrard
That game reminded me so much of games years ago when we battered them but Goram defied us. Now we have big Forster, we MUST break the bank and sign him.
The psycological damage that must have them today will be felt on them for the next few months.

08 Dec 2019 20:11:22
I said that today Tim coming out the stadium that's some payback for my heartache during the,90s.

{Ed007's Note - Apparently if you lived through those times you're a Celtic Da - I am not 🤬 impressed what that!}

08 Dec 2019 20:45:29
saddly were all celtic das these days ed.

{Ed007's Note - Nah man, I'm like Welshy and an Ultra Da 😁

08 Dec 2019 21:23:41
Ed: I am a Celtic Granda still celebrating!
I genuinely can't think of a game we struggled in more than today and I was there when Thistle beat us 4-1.
I would value your opinion, bad set up? poor players? Conditions?

{Ed007's Note - To be honest I don't know what went wrong today, the only players that got pass marks from me was Forster, Frimpong and I know it won't be popular but Hayes who was once again flung in at the deep end and gave 100%, Edouard not starting was a BIG issue for me.
Tactically I would maybe go 4-3-3 against them in future to give us another man (Ntcham?) in the midfield and I can't believe I'm saying this but would Rogic have been a better gamble/option up front than Morgan? At least he can hold the ball up and spot a pass for runners.}

08 Dec 2019 21:36:22
Lol don't know about being a Celtic da but that walk from Hampden to the city centre has me feeling like a Celtic pensioner.

08 Dec 2019 21:53:39
Hahahaha ultra da I’ll take that 😂😂😂.

{Ed007's Note - 👍

08 Dec 2019 22:02:36
Ed: I thought before the game that Sinclair or Christie up front and Rogic behind would have been better but I have to say Edouard telling Lennon to leave him out was a worry.

08 Dec 2019 23:51:04
He should be our No.1 signing priority👍.

09 Dec 2019 00:03:04
Sinclair would have been my choice upfront. All irrelevant I suppose as we won ugly like Walter Smith used to do to us ha ha ha. Sweet crushing persons hopes ha.

08 Dec 2019 19:10:58
Spare a thought for all the sad wee Sevvies over the other side of Glasgow this evening. They really did think today was their day, the day the tide finally turned and the day when they could claim to be the best team in the country. lol HH.

08 Dec 2019 18:37:07
Why wasn't griff not there? Morgan is not cute or strong to play cf he needs to bulk up and get to the gym and get upper body strength to many time pushed off the ball needs to learn to hold the ball up and bring players into the game that's why we need to invest in another striker bayo injured again and he is a big guy but always injured should unload him to a team he can play for he no Drogba we need 2 more quality strikers.

08 Dec 2019 18:57:50
chil out jock and please buy a punctuation mark mate.

08 Dec 2019 18:26:58
El coo your worth 50 million oh you can't score your worth a pot noodle now how many times did foul 10 times and then missed a penalty ho ho ho.

08 Dec 2019 18:22:44
We have never played as bad in a cup final for a long, long time and for so many players to be as under par as that - at the same time is bizarre and a bit concerning.
However, ten trophies on the bounce against a team that played as well as they possibly could and still lost, is great consolation lol.
The bovine Columbian is a wee thug and tries to counte- act his inability to score against the champs by kicking, clogging and diving while establishment urchins like Gollum continually turn blind eyes and encourage it.
Not our best performance by far, but still - thanks to FF - good enough to take the silverware.

08 Dec 2019 18:18:21
There will be a few wrecked hooses in Govan tonight. Almost wrecked mine celebrating. How sweet was that winning with a controversial goal (half the team offside) and 10 men. The pain must be unbearable. We should erect a statue of big Fraser next week outside the Rangers end. Just in time for our next beautiful Sunday on the 29th.

08 Dec 2019 18:23:02
I don't think they will be angry tonight, just absolutely gutted that they were the better team and had plenty of chances to win but failed to do so because of big Forster.

Anyway, I am delighted that we robbed them and have the first part of the treble in the bag.

Lets hope Young Boys pump them on Thursday to put another nail in the coffin.

08 Dec 2019 17:45:50
We need more land around Celtic park. How many statues are we going to put up Broony foster frenched jullienne.

08 Dec 2019 17:34:12
Today's game reminded me of manager Tommy Burns Old Firm games. in reverse. we would pound them with all day and Goram would save everything thrown at him then Rangers would score with one chance
Well done Celtic and God bless Tommy what goes around comes around.

08 Dec 2019 17:45:40
Thought the same gerryd. Great to see their faces at the end.

08 Dec 2019 17:45:55
Totally agree there, that game reminded me of the old days when we played them off the park only for mcoist to nick it. Karma is a bitch. I don't mind winning like that, as long as we won that's all that matters. Wait for slippy excuses, wonder if he will get an apology from collum for allowing the goal to stand. Haha brilliant.

08 Dec 2019 18:00:36
Yep, those were long years. Today may have been as frustrating. Need to do some recruiting and we made some tactical mistakes today, so its crucial we learn fro that, once we're done celebrating.

08 Dec 2019 18:37:15
Well said Gerry, I was thinking the same.

08 Dec 2019 17:30:46
Playing Morgan up front, unfit players, down to 10 men for most of 2nd half, gave them a penalty and they still couldn’t beat us! This is what it feels to be Celtic lads, serial winners and bottle and courage in spades! For all the sevconian who will pop on for a look, I’d accept 5 million for el coo if u can get it! A diddy and a bottle merchant who shouldn’t have been on the park! Told ye it’s the hope that kills ye! 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂.

08 Dec 2019 17:44:33
Incorrectly down to ten men mind.

08 Dec 2019 18:04:58
Morelos should have seen red for the stamp on christie.

08 Dec 2019 17:26:40
Slippy 10 men and one brilliant keeper won the trophy your in real trouble now that's awesome we are the champions away back a greet your heart and moan at your players we won the cup hail hail now next the league.

08 Dec 2019 17:22:09
The tears are running now lads only when I hear our song walk on song.

08 Dec 2019 15:21:19
How bad a start is this.

08 Dec 2019 15:42:20
Big Forster is playing him on his own.

08 Dec 2019 15:49:37
I think we can all agree this is worse than horrendous. This needs changing at half time. can't hold onto the ball. Making rangers look like liverpool. Has shades of the 1 nil at ibrox!

08 Dec 2019 15:31:24
Shocking all over the park so far and Big FF saving us, need to change things up before it's too late.

08 Dec 2019 16:14:17
I know we are guff; but Gollum is giving them every decision as well.

08 Dec 2019 13:26:13
Watching this game from New Zealand, 4am kick off and i've been a bag of nerves all day, pretty sure the bhoys will kick on and get this one over the line. Im going for 3-0 to the Celtic.

08 Dec 2019 14:22:49
We've lost a goal in the last three games so I would settle for 4-1.

08 Dec 2019 13:16:43
Enjoy your day Bhoys and hopefully we will have something to celebrate with the first part of the quadruple treble in the bag

Failing that I am sure we will still go down the pub, sing a few songs and have a great night regardless.

COYBIG.

08 Dec 2019 09:28:12
Record has the game is on.

{Ed's Note - Ed001 has posted a new article entitled, Review Of The Day 8th December 2019

07 Dec 2019 23:48:43
I want Frimpong to get the nod tomorrow because he will be a handful going forward.
I think also starting Boli would be a bit too adventurous because we would then be starting with 2 very attacking full backs.
If Frimpong starts I would start the dependable Hayes at left back because when Frimpong is bombing forward Hayes will sit in tight for that extra cover.
Forster
Frimpong Ajar. Julian. Hayes
Brown. Mcgregor
Forrest. Christie. Elyounoussi
Edouard
Subs Gordon, Bauer, Bitton, Rogic, Ntcham, Johnston, Morgan
Bauer can cover both full backs, so there is no room on the bench for Boli, Sinclair or Griff.

08 Dec 2019 08:02:59
I want bauer on park as I think he's solid defensively and that's rangers strongest attacking area.
Griffiths has got to make bench for me. Their is no need for both ntcham and rogic on it so rogic should sit out.
