Sorry Celtic, l think you are going to get hammered, if you can get past Juv, then it will be a miracle - good luck.

Re: The Scottish Football Thread
 

As the Celtic song says:
For we only know that there's going to be a show.
and the Glasgow Celtic will be there

For those of you who want to join in tonight, here's the fist couple of verses :)

Sure it's a grand old team to play for,
Sure it's a grand old team to see,
if you know its history,
It's enough to make your heart grow sad,
God bless them.




We don't care if we win, lose or draw,
Darn the hell do we care,
For we only know that there's going to be a show,
And the Glasgow Celtic will be there.

Must go now for a quick refreshment before I head to paradise :D

Re: The Scottish Football Thread
 

I will be watching on Tv, good game - but l cannot see it.

Re: The Scottish Football Thread
 

Sorry lads, l told you so, Celtic's defence was poor to concede the goals and Ambrose should not have been playing.

This is the sign of a poor manager in Lennon, sorry Celts u are out.

Re: The Scottish Football Thread
 

Mwah hah hah.

:D

Already the excuses are circulating on Facebook.

Re: The Scottish Football Thread
 

It's a sign of Lennon being a poor manager!? This is all very harsh. Celtic were always massive underdogs. I think they deserve a lot of credit for making it past the group stages of the Champions League in the first place.

Re: The Scottish Football Thread
 

Hmmm. The crooked lawyer, the failed social worker and the journalist who thinks making jokes about the ibrox disaster is funny all put out blog posts about a spurious invoice almost simultaneously.

You might even say it was planned.

Lucky. Very lucky indeed to get to the next round. Lennon has a shocking record in big games.

Re: The Scottish Football Thread
 

Those Juventus players should have been sent off for their behaviour tonight. All that wrestling in the box. brown should have taken a red and knocked the guy out!

Pitiful behaviour from such a big team.

Re: The Scottish Football Thread
 

This is a game that Celtic really had no business winning and the result should be expected. I don't think it can be used to judge Lennon, this was a task that was always a bit too much. Juventus are simply a much better team, a much better funded team, that won a considerably more difficult league.

However Celtic did well against Barcelona of all people. They just can't keep repeating such giant killings.

Re: The Scottish Football Thread
 

Freak results happen. Lennon is showing how classless he is by throwing his players under the bus in his post match interview and claiming Celtic were far superior for 80% of the match!

Re: The Scottish Football Thread
 

Thing is they were!

They are not a better team, they were the better team at diving and generally being. Very unsportsman like.

Re: The Scottish Football Thread
 

They also finished 2nd in a pretty difficult group. I think they deserve credit and I don't really see how they can be mocked for losing against Juventus once getting past the Champions League. They've done will in Europe this season. I don't think any neutral fan can disagree ;).

I don't especially like Lennon anyway but credit where credits due on Celtic's European campaign this season.

Maybe but they are still a better team.

Re: The Scottish Football Thread
 

Firstly, Lennon is at fault, he should never have played Ambrose, whose just come back from the African cup, it showed that he was tired, and it was him that gave away a goal, and he was still on the field at the end.

Juventus was by superior throughout the game, and to say that some of them should have been sent off is very harsh, they are class and the ref should have been more firmer with some of the fouls.

Celtic are not the side they used to be and to get Celtic back on par you have to get rid of Lennon.

Re: The Scottish Football Thread
 

For Celtic to get on par they need more money and they won't get that in the Scottish League. Rangers and Celtic's decline is because the SPL declined. Celtic aren't going to become a major European force by changing managers.

Re: The Scottish Football Thread
 

Disappointing :(

Defensive mistakes cost us.

We really can't use the referee as an excuse because at the Champions league level you can't expect favours.

At the budget Celtic are working at I think you would have to be a football retard, or a bitter delusioned fan of the The The Rangers (akaSevco), not to recognise that hosting tonight's spectacle was a massive achievment. This was only made possible by the phenomonal skills of the managment team lead by Neil Lennon.

Many Championship teams can afford players in the market that Celtic have to scout in. Within that budget, and without having to screw creditors and taxpayer, he has managed to produce a team that has reached the last 16 of the ECL.

Well done Neil :D

Well done the Bhoys.

For we only know
that there's going to be a show
and the Glasgow Celtic will be there :D
