If you’re going down, go down fighting!
I’m going to be brief for once, as there’s really nothing to say. My words mean next to nothing, Celtic will do their talking on the pitch, and no doubt give us plenty to talk about rendering a lead article virtually useless.
I don’t want this journey to end but chances are tonight is Parkheads last European foray for the season.
Chances are we get beaten.
Chances are the enormous gap in both clubs finances shows itself when the final whistle blows.
But chance itself is a fickle thing, never to be relied upon, but to be fully celebrated when it smiles on the unfavoured, the underdog, the lucky recipient. I’ve seen bigger clubs than Bayern walk away from East Glasgow stunned. Watched much better players than Harry Kane leave empty handed. Saw 11 heroes in Hoops leave European football shocked and bedazzled.
I’ve only one wish, and it’s not a win or even a draw.
It’s a simple wish.
It’s that we truly give them a proper game tonight.
If the Germans progress they progress, but I want them to be made to work for it, to be forced into digging deep.
Leave it all on the pitch Celtic, walk off that sacred turf knowing you truly gave it everything you had, and let the footballing God’s deal with the rest. If you go down, go down fighting.
We’re all behind you, you’ve made us proud.
God Bless you Bhoys.
You’ll Never Walk Alone.

Unfortunately, we’re too slow, too weak and way out of our depth here.
———————————-
I’d get slagged for being negative if I said that!
You missed that they are also a lot more skillful.
Garbage decision by Spanish linesman.
And another!
C’Mon Celtic!
Getting diddled on corners both ends
INIQUITOUS IV,
Way more skillful.
Some don’t like the truth 😁
Kane shows why we should always have someone at the far post at corners, at both ends.
Bollocks. Taylor switches off and gets punished.
Right on HT. Bastert.
And there it is.
Taylor missing again 🤬
Great finish though.
We need a left back.
No chance for Kasper.
Anybody think we need a left back?
Olise, built like a skelf, shows how to hit a shot the way it should be hit, every time.
How anyone can think Taylor is a player is beyond me!!
Before they scored he’d played the ball straight out of play numerous times …as usual!!
I can be a critic to Taylor,but to be fair, I thought he was a bit unfortunate with the bounce there.
BAD- 💯 on Taylor. The wee guy is out of his depth in these games.
Sign Schlupp…..play Taylor
BR writ large.
We defended well. Showed that we can score. Just can’t get or keep possession. No surprises there. Hatate blowing bubbles. Swap him for Schlupp
Will need to get fresh legs on at the right time. We have been chasing the ball most of the game. Bernardo could prove to be a big miss.
Get Jota on now. Forget this sacred, holy 60th minute crap.
Near side linesman must have made a bet on Bayern. Taylor out of his depth against that kid. We need a goal…..get the ball up to Kuhn or Maeda, they can beat that defense.
Well, as predicted I’ve came on to say I Told You So!!!
Taylor is MILES out of his depth here. This is on BR!!
He’s contributing absolutely nothing here. Every pass to him either comes straight back or he passes it out the park!!
How the fuck is he at LB tonight when Schlupp who is taller, stronger, faster and better sitting on the bench???
I give up!!!
Awe naw
funny how we see things differently … i thought Hatate was the best of the mid 3 … dropping deep and pressing forward … whole midfield is missing, but I thought he was the best of the three… not that effective, but at least he seemed to be putting the effort in.

Sign Schlupp…..play Taylor
BR writ large.
——————-
And the only reason we got him was because Palace signed Chilwell on the last day, and he suddenly became redundant.
We’ve been susceptible to the high diagonal to our 5″7′ left back for 4 years now. Ball broke nicely for Eloise fabulous strike. No surprises

I hope this is the rope a dope strategy🙏

Just read back. I thought about posting exactly the same comment but couldn’t take my eyes off the game.
Great minds ……… 😁😁😁😁😁
Miss Bernardo tonight. He is a calming presence in the middle
MIT,
I agree but his race was ran after about 35 mins.
Why Calum insists on a small intricate pass was imho a mistake sometimes we need to launch it into the box
Agree we have been too slow in possession most of the time.
At 0-0 it makes a bit of sense. Might as well go for it now although that could cost us.
Big decision. Are we cautious or brave.
Schmeichel Sr. saying Celtic lose the ball far too often in their own half.
Taylor stays on, so that will continue.
Jota still on bench. Aaarrrgggghhhhh!
Awe Naw
I have said for seasons that Calmac as a number 6 is the biggest problem in that team … too hesitant … even bigger than GT at left back.
But only 1 down , so still in it… just need one break
Looks like cautious.
Back to the keeper from our kick off
Acres of space where Taylor was supposed to be again.
Trusty hurt.
Only way we are gonna get out of our own half is to start going long
Scales getting warmed up. WTF wasn’t he off the bench immediately Trusty went down?
That drives me nuts.
Bugger
Looked bad for Trusty for a second there … Always a worry when a player goes down without being touched … seems to be okay
FFS Kane makes it 2 from a corner, our so-called left back nowhere to be seen.
No one at back post again? 🤬
Kane’s 19th goal past Kasper
Because we are too frigging scared to change things at half time, we are now fecked.
Who was supposed to mark the best striker in Europe?
how the hell is (i) Kane left unmarked, and (ii) no one at Leftback?
We took the ball into our area straight from kick off and didn’t get out until they scored
Game over…..Taylor never a defender…..good attacking midfielder, but never a defender left back.
Are we going to wait another 8 minutes before making a sub?
On that goal. GT is where CCV is supposed to be, and AJ is where Trusty is supposed to be
VAR check for penalty on Kühn. A long one!
Yes!!!
I mortgaged my house, yacht, and racehorse on Kane scoring tonight!
