Celtic vs Newbies – Ratings and Review

Well that was just awful eh?

How Brendan Rodgers can look himself in the mirror is beyond me.

The guy knew fine well that we had a big game on Tuesday and yet he only allowed his team to take their feet off the gas for around 15 minutes against a poor wee newly promoted outfit who are finding it tough enough in the heady heights of the top Division.

Shocking.

The manager knew fine well that this was an ideal time to rest and recuperate and while I can try and give Brendan the benefit of the doubt this time, I expect he will play the U17s when we head to Ibrox to keep it fresh and  at least try and make the SPFL match an actual contest.

** THIS IS A JOKE!! ** ( Honestly, someone will write to us and complain thinking we are being serious!

What a result and what a performance.

None of the Alba Media hype shite (I hereby copyright ‘shype’ as a word!) was ever a factor despite the Media’s wishes that our club, fans, players  and management would get distracted from being ultra professional as usual and forget to be clinical as standard.

Clyde Superscoreboard for instance tried the old reverse pyschology by claiming it was Celtic fans who were constantly going on about how easy it would all be before the game ( all circumstantial “I talked to a Celtic fan in the garage!” bumph, none actually called in of course) and of course how Rangers fans were being so dignified and willing to wait for their team  “Do it out there on the pitch and not in the papers” kinda pish.

Hugh Keevins and Derek Johnstone both went for score draws and after the humilation big DJ even had the cheek to say it was neck and neck for 60 mins while everyone just sighed or laughed as he kept screaming “But it was,..it was”.

Somehow it reminded me of Stan and Ollie when they can only afford 1 drink and share a saspiralla. Stan Laurel is allowed to take his half first. He proceeds to drink the whole glass. “What happened?” cries a shocked Ollie .”My half was on the bottom” is the classic reply from Stan.

Thats how much Rangers were part of this contest… the comic punchline.

Heres the ratings on a wonderful showing on a glorious day:


 

De Vries – 7

Caught under the ball with Millers looping header for their eventual goal but didnt have much chance due to his full backs errors allowing Taverniers cross  from the left over to Miller on a deserted Lustig right. De Vries did make a good save from Waghorn at the death but really didnt have that many ( or any) other attacks to foil.

The new keeper was always happy taking the ball to feet and kick outs and passes were good all day. We will see a lot more of the sweeper keeper outlet as the season goes on. Its the future role of the goalkeeper so good to see we are on board before we are deep into the season.

Tierney – 7

Made the 5th goal with a really good overlap and developing a relationship with Sinclair. Should have prevented Taveniers cross for Miller to send across goal but was probably still caught up in the 2nd goal excitement like the rest of us. Didnt let up all day and had some lovely interactions while keeping it solid when needed. Easy to forget the left back superstar is still only a child given we just automatically assume “He’ll be fine”. How lucky we are indeed.

Toure – 7

Actually annoyed me for about 20 minutes because “big” Toure was losing header contests with the Rangers forward / thug/ actor/fandan Joe Garner. Sure enough though,  Toure soon enough got his calm act together and was making those perfectly timed tackles and being the ultimate General to all around him as Rangers tried to muster up any hint of a huff or a puff. Toure is forming a good relationship with Erik and while once again we failed to keep a clean sheet, we can forgive and forget on this occasion.

Erik -7

Solid as a Viking longboat and absolutely loves winning with the Hoops. When Dembele scored his 3rd, Erik was literally bouncing towards him in the fashion of a celebrating fan. Keeps it simple which is not as easy as it sounds and doesnt appear to have any nerves regardless of the occasion. Laughed it off when the idiot Garner actually tried to headbutt his kneecap. A Future captain contender with Tierney.

Lustig – 8

Played as well as the rest of the defence and had the ying/yang balance of making the 4th goal with a great cross while contributing to their goal by not ensuring enough cover on the right side of defence when he got drawn out of position. Another classy performance but Lustig gets the extra point for 2 reasons:

First he had to deal with Garners piss poor antics – Garner elbowed Lustig in ribs and then after Lustig said “4th official, this giys a choob”, Garner then tried to orchestrate a sending off “retaliation” scene by walking backwards into Lustig and then hitting the deck. A bemused Lustig just shrugged with a classy total indifference and Collum simply told Garner to get up.

The other reason for the extra point?

The greatest Goal celebration of all time at Celtic Park.
Oh yes!

You can forget Henriks Tongue!
You can forget Robbie Keanes somersaults!
When Dembele scored the 2nd goal…what did Mikel Lustig do?

He ran passed Joey Barton and friends wearing a burst green and white beach ball on his head!

Oh yes he did!

lustig

Mikel Lustig..Celtic Comedy Genius!


 

Bitton – 7

What a pass for the 2nd goal. Took booking when taking the driving Kranjcar( I know!) down before he hit the Celtic defenders but then stayed classy throughout desite attempts to bully him. The sideways passes from Bitton do frustrate now and again but again Nir kept everything and everyone calm and controlled which is exactly what was needed in such a match.

Broony – 8

Stared Joey in the eyes at the handshake,,Joey looked at the floor. It was Game over before it had begun. Drove Celtic forward and was always in amongst it when needed. Took a well deserved break with Brendan motioning “Down” with 15 mins to go. Scott then had the slowest walk off in Scotttish Football History, milking it brilliantly. Broonys post match interview was hilarious with “Result speaks for itself” and “Men vs Boys” quotes and when asked if he had a word or two with Joey at the 2nd goal “Yes, I was just checking that he was okay”. Thats what we need from our Captain. Know your place Joey.

Sinclair – 8

That’s 5 in a row. 5. For a guy who drifts in and out of a game, what a return. Sinclair really comes onto a game a the longer the game progresses and is proving a great purchase. Working well with Tierney and Dembele and started the party with a great cross for goal from a corner that he generated from a shot on goal saved by Fotheringhams face. Took his goal with ease with the Rangers keeper still wondering how he found that near post without looking. Then helped make the 5th goal too by playing in Tierney for the cross to Armstrong. Marvellous.

Forrest – 7

Wee James tormented “The Grass” by keeping his guessing if he was going outside or inside. Sent in a few balls that could have been goal chances and will be pleased with his effort once again. Kept pushing forward and stretching the Rangers defence and kept hounding their midfield and forwards when needed. Got a good round of applause when heading off for Roberts.

Rogic – 8

What a week for our Twinkle Toed Tom. Played during the week for Australia then a long haul flight back and then simply played with Niko and Joey on Saturday. A brilliant effort and at one point did a double pirouette to beat 4 Rangers players. The first half basically ended up with a knackered Niko trying to kick lumps out of him in frustration but of course never coming close. While everyone thought the battle would be Broony and Barton, Rogic quietly stepped up and ran the game in the first half. Rogic’s progression is very impressive under Rodgers. It seemed harsh to be replaced by Armstrong but given his travels and the impact of Armstrong that soon turned out to be another master stroke from our Brendan,

 

Dembele -10 + 3 if possible!

The Perfect hat trick – from a new signing who is only 20 years old. Let that sink in for a second.

A truly phenomenal centre forward performance and no wonder Zinedine Zidane praised Celtic for landing this potential superstar. The superstar talk is not hype or shype ( Let it go – Ed). Everything Dembele does on the pitch is impressive: From hold up play, to bringing in midfield with knock downs, to driving runs, to playing inch perfect ly weighted passes through two defenders for Celtic midfield, making defenders look extremely foolish and course those calm deadly finishes. The bhoy is pure class.

The goals were all special. A bullet header to an empty post, then a brilliant run before calmly turning the JCB that is Senderos inside out,  finished off with a Jamesie Forrest style outside of the boot strike passed Fotheringham.

The 3rd goal was my favourite though. The build up is fantastic but then came the finish. The ball is floated over Bartons head by Lustig and knowing the keeper will soon be coming, Dembele calmly brings the ball down and forward with his right boot perfectly for him to then immediately strike home into the corner with his left. It was Mark Hughesque for the older readers!

The celebration was marvellous too and after the first Hat-Trick by a Celt in a League game against a team from Ibrox in 50 years, Moussa was happy to take the booking for jumping in the crowd.


 

Subs

Armstrong – 7

Just wow! Best subs performance since David Fairclough ( Enough with the old crap – Ed). Armstrong came on when Rangers were having a good spell in the game and immediately the game was over as far as they were concerned. Armstrong picked up the torch that Rogic had carried in the first half and drove his team forward to victory. He was all over the pitch and had a hand in all the second half goals culminating in his calm finish in the 92nd minute for goal number 5. Will do his confidence a power of good and on this showing, the future may still be open to Armstrong filling Broonys boots one day,

 

McGregor – 6

Brought on the give the team energy and someone who could hold onto the ball as the Rangers players got more and more desperate and did his job very well. Always available and gave the team that extra oomph that was needed to drive the final nails into the coffin.

 

Roberts – 6

Came on for James Forrest and was a bit disappointing in truth, something Roberts also thought in post match interviews. Patrick tried his best but is clearly still finding his feet after the recent injury. A Mixed bag saw him fail to get passed Grass Wallace or Barrie McKay on a few occasions but he did have a good few runs across goal with one decent shout for a penalty waved away by Collum. The form will return soon enough so Patrick shouldn’t let the head go down.


 

Manager – 9

Marvellous management. Said his team were well prepared and they sure were. No Leigh Griffiths?..No panic!…just get the ball from Rangers and attack…talk about a simple game.  I always like to see how Managers react during the bad times in a game and Brendan continues to impress with his use of subs at the right time. The introduction of Armstrong killed off Rangers faint chances of a comeback in the second half and once again a substitute scores for Celtic this season.

Afterwards Rodgers highlighted how Saturday  was the 5th anniversary of his fathers passing as well as 31 years since big Jocks and he had that in mind for the game. You could listen to his appreciation all day but this snippet sums it up.

screenshot_2016-09-12-08-59-50_1

 


 

Fans – 9

Great singing and piss taking all day. How I love a “HaHa HaHa Ha Ha Hahahahaha” when the Toilet Smashers start that Hello Hello nonsense. Celtic fans never let up and the sight of Rod Steward singing “Doing the Huddle” was a youtube delight.

Stories allege that there may have been some clowns with inflatables dummies- no doubt, crassly I grant you, trying to denote a dead club and not anything to do with Kris Boyds tragedy or World Suicide Awareness Day, regardless of what the Media or any bandwagon jumping publicity hungry Scottish football websites try and allude to.

I doubt any Celtic fan holds any animosity towards Kris Boyd..the guy scored 1 goal against us for God sake whilst playing for Rangers. We all feel sorry for his brothers loss and if these dummies were floated at the game then I am sure no personal offence was intended and Im sure the club will do all they can to deal with any of the idiots who were involved regardless of actual intention.

Marvelous summary Desi,Michael Lustig The new member of the Beach Bhoys.What a difference that Brendan makes,a classy ghuy,on and off the park,how refreshing it is to have a Manager who kens what he is doing.
As for those blow up dolls,if they are tested for DNA then that would lead to a certain E-Tim roaster called Monti.
Every player played as per instructed and to the plan,but yoo canny plan talent its either their or not and yoo can see that its there.

First of all, what a team performance from the Bhoys, this is the first time in 15 years I have genuine belief that this team is going to do something special.The attacking options in the team are phenomenal, I can see Griff & Moussa scoring at least 70 – 80 between them this season with Sinclair bagging at least 20. The young man Tierney’s stock rises by the game, only can get better.Second thing is regarding the doll’s until I see them hanging in video footage, I won’t believe they’re real.Typical media bullshit trying to tarnish a result that put them in their place. If you read Wacko Jacko’s summary in the daily rag, you will see very suggestive editing that point’s to something that happened to one of our previous managers through the post. You can see what they’re up to can’t you ??????

How come your player ratings differ so much from the hack at the Scotsman?That tool had Barton on a 5 and half the Celtic team on 6. Man of the Match is Lustig simply because of the Beach Ball stunt. Superb! The blow up dolls scandal is the work of a guy who claims to be a Celtic supporter over at Scotzine? I know nothing about the guy or his website but he wrote something yesterday which was worse than anything the Record has come up with and as bad as Bill Leckie and his coordinated coughing horseshit, he claimed that it was very bad taste and bad timing because of the suicide of Kris Boysds brother and then tried to say he wasn’t saying that the that is what the intention was, to in some way mock the death of the relative of a Kilmarnock player. It is exactly the tactics employed by the Record and the Sun. When this was pointed out to the guy by various supporters (including myself) he simply told everyone to ‘piss off’ and implied that we agreed with the hanging of effigies. He is a prize tool of the highest order and if he is a Celtic supporter he is a strange one. He is also a terrible writer and his site is shite.
Still on cloud 9 after Saturday and cannot believe what kind of half-wit would ever have doubted BR. I certainly don’t know of anyone like that. Quite willing to be wrong if it makes me feel the way I did at 2.00pm on Saturday. Have only seen the highlights but Celtic looked very good. Apparently Armstriong looked a bit more like it when he came on. Will watch the whole game, hopefully soon. s

Afternoon Desi,
Glad you mentioned Kris Boyd thing today, i’ll let you into a wee secret, when i read on my phone about Kris Boyd losing his brother, i actually called Kilmarnock football club and asked the lady on reception to pass on my condolences to Kris Boyd on his sad loss, i informed her that i was a Celtic supporter and that my feelings would be shared by many thousands of Celtic supporters.
The lady was very emotional and thanked me warmly.
I wasn’t going to share what i did but as Kris Boyd was mentioned i tbought i would.

I also sent Kilmarnock an Email in relation to Kris Boyd and gave him some support at this time.

I lost a childhood friend a number of years ago who took his own life, it still hurts to this day and i wish Boyd nothimg but the best for the future.

Big Moussa has nerves of steel and is pure class. Bitton had his best game in a long time. If Broony out tommorow would like to see him and Armstrong start with McGregor coming on last half hour. Mcgregor played a 40-50 yard crossfield pass to Roberts (who did nothing with it) and kept the team ticking along nicely. I feel young Callum is really underated and very rarely losses the ball. Rogic played a blinder in 1st half and is aware of who is around him. He even took a couple of steps to the side to let Bitton play that slide rule pass to Moussa. This team will improve as season goes on. I don’t expect to get a point off Barca as they will all be raring to go after being rested on Saturday. I will enjoy the ride though and will be interested to see if we play Gamboa wide right in a 3-5-2. HH

Desi,

Thanks for this. I agree with just about all of your points.

I love Tom Rogic’s ability and reading of the game, unfortunately even without international breaks, we are very unlikely to get a full 90 minutes out of him. I usually prefer him to come on later for impact, and have it more solid initially. I guess Brendan thought it would be fine to start him, as we were playing a diddy team.

Armstrong for me, works best in the same space as Rogic likes to operate in. I don’t like him on the flank (see Delia choice) or as DM. HE works best as a number 10. Yes, he doesn’t have Rogic’s flare, but it is definitely his best area due to his industry and understanding. As such, they are great replacements for each other.

I look forward to Griff and Dembele taking 7 off them next time.

Hail Hail

Of course, they have to use the OF term, and somehow miss completely who did it, when we know exactly who it was. Everyone does. They took video of themselves doing it!
If you didn’t know any better, by this article, you would think it was Celtic supporters rather than hate filled supporters of the rangers tribute act.

Some of you might remember that our Tommy Coyne’s wife committed suicide and our next encounter with Rangers (as they were then) there were several chants and maybe (not sure about this bit) a poster or two from their fans saying “Tommy— Home Alone” and similar shite. Suicide is a serious and traqic thing. I’m sure we’ve all been affected by it. I’d like to believe no Celtic fan would have done this ‘doll’ thing. Likewise, nearly two million of our family ancestors were starved to death yet some still sing ‘happy’ songs about it! One reason we disliked old Rangers and dislike new Sevco is hypocrisy. By their own reckoning they are the same club that owes £170 million. When they gonna pay it? They can dish it out but can’t take it.

The press genuinely incredible in focus on taking the heat off the Sevco performance.

Though i would agree with that,who was it that helped them stay alive,who is it that helps keep the truth suppressed,who is it that never came forward to assist with the Res.12 bhoys.
What have they and the SFA,SPFL, Media et al done for the good of Scottish fitba. could that be it,that the summary of all of that was to keep Scottish fitba alive?by nursing it along until thems came back,look and listen to Sky,the press the statements from Reagan and Doncaster.
If that IS the reason,then they will not be allowed to die or will we have to suck it up,for the good of the game.
Would WE want that continuety?

He should just walk after not publicly calling them a new club, and the old one a bunch of cheats; and not putting in effort to restoring lost titles and cups back to us and another cheated clubs.

He canny take these decisions on his own,it would have to be run past his Board,never in a million years will i condone or go along with the lack of action against thems,but merely acknowledge that media coverage and especially Sky global coverage wants no demands OF coverage,its the ONLY game in town in Scottish fitba.Me i would rather it died than have to put up with thems,but they are not me or you.
I think that the only way to suppress them is to continually beat them and cut of European cash supply,but then what,they wilny just disappear,just poison another forum.

In Holland Ado Den Haag fans threw soft toys into the Feyenoord fans, it was for Rotterdam childrens hospice, a nice touch by the Den Haag fans.
Got me thinking tho, i would volunteer to do that at Ibrox, only replace the soft toys with Deoderant, Shower gel and Toothpaste.

It disny work on minds,only on skin and hair and teeth,how will that change, i havny a scooby,better than me have tried,even if thems die they will just poison another team.
I think that they are worse now,by being pandered too and not called out,they think they can get away with murder,scrub that, they have.With a confirmed crook in charge,they are playing their only card,release the hounds,gie us yer dosh mister or else and shut up.It will be hard to kill them of.

They’re no that great at using toilets and toiletries yet, maybe give them another 100 years and they might be able to clean up their act, but then again ?

Congratulations Mike, many happy returns and hopefully a result tomorrow that makes you feel like jumping about like a 12 year old.
PS, if you’d let me know sooner I could have arranged this for you.

I’m disappointed in the 7 for Tierney, cos apparently (according to EBT McCann) he played for both teams: see 6:50 or thereby of the following:

Great summary Desi.

WRT the Bitton booking it was Windybum(sevcos POTM) he tripped.

After the game I noticed Brendan having a good chat with him.
In the near future could we possibly see Windybum in the Hoops
as a free agent?
(NB: Above comment is conveyed under a hand covered mouth.)

All alarms set for 4:00am.
Let`s hope it`s a game that wakes the neighbours Ghirls and Bhoys.

COYBIG.

Monti,you`re a Gentleman.

Heartfelt condolences to the Boyd Family and Friends.

Happy Birthday Mike, and have a great day,
Go to the beach at Brochty Ferry,
A day in the sun but remember your x factor,
Can get hot in the cab in your fergusson tractor.
Here at etims we love you head to your toes, even if you look like a tit with your big red nose,
So blow out your candles on your cake, get back in your tractor there’s money to make.

At 68, i know stop laughing at the front, like the rest of you, i think he’s a lying Noel Hunt!

Happy Birthday pal!
