There, that sums it up enough for that\u00a01 game\u00a0I think.<\/p>\n
We\u00a0could all go on all day about mistakes, formation,\u00a0effort etc\u00a0but its futile really. We went and tried new<\/strong> players in a new<\/strong> formation in the Nou<\/strong> Camp. We all\u00a0knew<\/strong> the probable outcome in our hearts and sadly we hit the floor as Barca hit their comfort zone.<\/p>\n All we can do it hope its a harsh lesson learnt and that we can avoid such a performance, lack of planning and another strange use of resources come the\u00a0rest of the\u00a0games in the Campaign. One positive is that its given us all a little dash of football realism over the sweet desserts that we have been enjoying since Saturdays Sevco win which will benefit us in the long term.<\/p>\n As I mentioned to an angry Ralph last night on Twitter, We are the keen\u00a0Kell Brook trying to inflate ourselves and step up 2 weight divisions and take on the best in GGG but a good big one almost always beats a good small one.\u00a0 Kell Brook got beat by GGG but he also raised his profile into the big leagues and also boosted his bank balance and future earnings too. You don’t hear him complain as he is playing the long game which we all need to do now. (And I know we got more than a broken eye socket granted but the comparison stands<\/em>.)<\/p>\n Another Positivity CSC way to look :<\/p>\n Imagine youre\u00a0a sci-fi geek and the Champion League is Star Trek.\u00a0 Celtic\u00a0are the doomed red shirted Ensign Ricky\u00a0beaming down with\u00a0the main characters\u00a0to the\u00a0 Group of Death planet.\u00a0 We are there to make up the Transporter numbers and to take the early nasty hit that prepares everyone else for the real danger ahead.<\/p>\n If we are lucky we might get the odd word in once in a rare episode\u00a0but mostly our role is on the sidelines of the main story. Ultimately our initial\u00a0pain and despair helps everyone out in the end!<\/p>\n See we really are the charitable club!<\/p>\n So lets all dust ourselves down and\u00a0move on, and we can\u00a0start with a welcome gift..<\/p>\n <\/p>\n The Holy Poet has\u00a0sent us in a cracker of a poem looking at the goals from Saturdays game…enjoy while tucking into your tapas today!<\/p>\n Goal by Goal – The Holy Poet<\/strong><\/p>\n Aww fur fuck\u2019s sake, the Thumb isnae playin\u2019 We were fired up fae the beginning Soon efter big Moussa bombed forward One mair touch an\u2019 their goalie came chargin\u2019 For the third, Moussa turned tae provider The fourth wis Dembele\u2019s first hat trick He cushioned the ba\u2019 wi\u2019 his right fit Four – Ane an\u2019 the gemme isnae over The ba\u2019 came oot tae young Tierney We a\u2019 thought it wis ane touch too many Well those were the goals fae The Celtic Take a bow a\u2019 you wonderful players Five beautiful goals they conceded <\/p>\n The Holy Poet.\u00a0\u00a9<\/strong><\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" I was gonna write up a big list of rants along with the\u00a0Ratings and then try and balance it with a “At the end of…<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":4,"featured_media":9820,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"jetpack_post_was_ever_published":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_access":"","_jetpack_dont_email_post_to_subs":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_tier_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paywalled_content":false,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[],"tags":[],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"https:\/\/etims.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/09\/naymair1.jpg","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"jetpack_shortlink":"https:\/\/wp.me\/p2J7If-2ym","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/etims.net\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/9818"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/etims.net\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/etims.net\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/etims.net\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/4"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/etims.net\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=9818"}],"version-history":[{"count":4,"href":"https:\/\/etims.net\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/9818\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":9822,"href":"https:\/\/etims.net\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/9818\/revisions\/9822"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/etims.net\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/media\/9820"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/etims.net\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=9818"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/etims.net\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=9818"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/etims.net\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=9818"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}![\"486a6da78fd4bf97f3eb8dae7d06e34a\"](\"https:\/\/etims.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/09\/486a6da78fd4bf97f3eb8dae7d06e34a.jpg\")

\nDrapped heids were seen a\u2019 around
\nBut in that game against \u201cthe rangers\u201d
\nDembele took Leigh Griffiths\u2019 crown.<\/p>\n
\nThen Moussa stepped up tae the plate
\nA corner, a header, in aff the post
\nAn\u2019 oor cheers droned oot a\u2019 their hate.<\/p>\n
\n(In a game that would soon be a farce)
\nHe stormed past the big hapless Senderos
\nAnd left the poor bloke on his arse.<\/p>\n
\nBut alas, it was always in vain
\nA deft outside shot fae his right fit
\nAn\u2019 oor cheers brought some tears an\u2019 mair pain.<\/p>\n
\nA sublime pass to wee Scott Sinclair
\nHe ran through like a ghost an\u2019 it wis in aff the post
\nAs though their defence wisnae there.<\/p>\n
\nFae a fabulous cross fae the right
\nThe ba\u2019 floated ower Joey Barton
\nTae the young Bhoy who wore green an\u2019 white.<\/p>\n
\nAn\u2019 then touched it oantae his left
\nThen volleyed it past their poor goalie
\nAn\u2019 left him an\u2019 his team so bereft.<\/p>\n
\nBut the big clock\u2019s tickin\u2019 away
\nThere urr ninety minutes tae score in
\nThat\u2019s jist the way oor Celtic play.<\/p>\n
\nWho as usual, wis flyin\u2019 the wing
\nHe saw Stuart Armstrong waitin\u2019
\nAn\u2019 whit magic the big man wid bring.<\/p>\n
\nAs he headed away fae the goal
\nBut his cutback was utterly brilliant
\nFive \u2013 Ane an\u2019 this game wis a stroll.<\/p>\n
\nAn\u2019 there\u2019s plenty mair stories tae tell
\nTae the Green side Parkhead is Paradise
\nTae the Blue side, continuous Hell.<\/p>\n
\nThis is how the gemme should be played
\nFor your energy, conviction, commitment
\nAnd the passion an\u2019 heart you displayed.<\/p>\n
\nBut on their debut, \u201cnew rangers\u201d scored one
\nIt\u2019s pure brilliant supporting The Celtic
\nBut fur a new club it\u2019s no\u2019 that much fun.<\/p>\n
