3-1 Salzburg

4-1 Salzburg

Irish Soldier Laddies, does it make a difference where we finish in the group with regards to the draw for last 32 ?

1-1

Fuck it

It was going so well…

Celtic really to bring on Nir Bitton now, especially as I’ve written four lines of a song about him for the occasion.

As off the bench one Thursday night in a city far rode Nir
Those armed lines of Israeli swines, their squadrons he holds dear
No siren did hum nor battle drum did sound as he bombed a Gaza school
Now the reserve list in the Astra mist bears the name of the foggy Jew

Ffs

Griffiths goal chalked off.

That’s a shocking decision

Cunt! He didn’t touch him!!!

Looked a foul to be fair.

Are you serious ?

Yes.

Astra down to 10

No Bomber! That was a foul!

FT 1-1

It’s a definite foul for the goal that was chalked off and the referee was totally correct to disallow it, you can’t arch your arse into someone while they are jumping to make a header and that’s what Griffiths did.

Decent display, we really should have put the game to bed and should have wrapped up qualification tonight.

Agree with all the above but pretty satisfied with tonight’s display notwithstanding our inability to kill them off. Encouraging signs though - much more cohesive, solid shape, defensively sound, better in possession, more incisive in the attacking third.

Thought Izzy was great. Mulgrew played well also but he’s generally fine when he’s given time on the ball and not pressured, it’s when he has to move the ball on quickly he begins to look hapless. I’d like to see Bitton getting some more football, think he has done ok in his fleeting experiences under Delia and surely should be ahead of Kayal in the pecking order.
