Let's knock This shite on the head.

I'll admit they played well. However had that been bayerns 11 I imagine they wouldn't have paid a glove on them. Now last night there was a result in Europe that should have seen a team have praise lavished on them. It wasn't the tarriers who achieved it. Instead it was tiny qarabag who went to one of the most hostile places in Europe and got a 1 1 draw with atletico madrid full 11. No dropping of 7 stars or any other bullshit

They went to Madrid and left with a point. 

The rewriting of history here is absolutely potty

Wait till ye read this long winded pish from the Evening Tims 

 

ACH, it was always going to be about third place and qualification for the Europa League knock-out stage after Christmas for celtic this time out.

And if they play as they did against Bayern Munich, a side that could conceivably win the Champions League this season, then they will have a chance, without getting too carried away, of going on a European run next year.

celtic played so wonderfully well at times at a pulsating Parkhead, better than the beasts of Bavaria for long spells.

Nobody could criticise a group of players which had shipped eight goals in two group defeats on nights they looked not even average at this level. Not on this intense night in Glasgow’s east end.

Even a less than full strength Bayern Munich side is full of serious footballers. celtic, with every respect, have little right to go toe-to-toe with the best team in German football. And, yet, the Scottish champions did just that.

They played some terrific stuff against a club whose very name demands respect.

Brendan Rodgers would have been disappointed, of course, but privately he perhaps thought his team’s best efforts in this group were always going to seem them finish third.

Oh, but how close his men got to a point.

James Forrest was mesmerising. Callum McGregor can always say he scored against Bayern Munich. Kieran Tierney was, well Kieran Tierney.

All three came through the academy. They and pretty much the rest looked at home here. If ever a home defeat could be viewed positively, this was it.

Rodgers spoke before the match of his reluctance to ‘park the bus’ but that is what Bayern Munich literally did.

At every away game, no matter where, the club’s own bus is driven thousands of miles across Europe so when the players arrive at their destination, it’s there waiting for them at the airport. That’s just showing off.

 

The bus is posher than some houses, which is why folk were taking selfies before the game. With a bus.

A big football club were in town, that was for sure.

You couldn’t walk around a corner of Glasgow during the day without bumping into a group of well- mannered and, it must be said, well-oiled Germans who had travelled in their thousands.

The five gold badges on the famous red strip symbolised how many times this incredible club had won the European Cup. There were t-shirts bearing the faces of Gerd Muller, Franz Beckenbauer and Paul Breitner. It was hard not to be just a bit impressed.

The same went for the You’ll Never Walk Alone at the start which had mouths quivering such was the passion it was belted out. On nights such as this, there is no better place to be on Planet Football.

From the start, it was a gripping match and, in Tierney, celtic have a superstar.

His run, tackle and pass four minutes into the game, gave Forrest the chance to pick out the run of Stuart Armstrong who didn’t quite get it right at the back post.

Forrest was outstanding. This was arguably his best game for celtic. There was only one star called Xamez on the pitch and it was the Prestwick lad rather than his namesake from Columbia.

From the off, celtic’s passing, movement and running off the ball was night and day compared to the performance in Munich of two weeks ago and the PSG game.

It was all looking pretty decent for 20 minutes and then calamity struck.

A punt from Bayern keeper Sven Ulreich could (should) have been dealt with by either Craig Gordon or Dedryck Boyata. Neither took responsibility and such silly mistakes are punished at this level just about every time. Kingsley Coman rolled the loose ball home as the inquest began among the celtic players.

Bayern Munich don’t need any help to score goals.

Rodgers turned away in disgust on the touchline. It was another avoidable goal and, again Gordon was partly (or is mostly the word) at fault in a big game. It’s a matter which must be addressed.

And just to make matters worse, the ball hit Coman’s arm before he scored which referee Danny Makkelie might have pulled him back for had he seen it.

Talk about pouring salt into wound.

To celtic’s great credit, they stuck to their guns and did not panic. If they were to go down, they were going down playing football. This is to be commended. No long balls were thrown forward, instead they played out from the back and got men forward.

They did not want to hear the half-time whistle.

It is against the law for Bayern Munich not to have a brilliant goalkeeper always, which is why Sven Ulreich somehow got his hand to an Armstrong show minutes after the break had ended.

celtic refused to give in. The supports didn’t stop singing. Everyone kept believing. Even the ball-boys did their job, getting play started again.

And then it happened with 16 minutes to go.

Forrest, who else, brilliantly scooped a pass to McGregor who poked the ball into the net. Cue mild applause and some tips of the hat. Or it was utter bedlam.

It lasted just a few minutes. Damn it.

As the seriously big teams tend to do whenever they need a goal, Bayern clicked through a few gears, a cross came in, Javi Martinez got the jump on Nir Bitton and it was 2-1 before anyone knew it.

Reality does suck; however, celtic have a real chance of doing something in the Europa League. For now, that will do. They earned their standing ovation.

Obvious even to a blind man that that was written by a taig lover, trying his best to be unbiased :lol:

There’s no one can touch them when it comes to turning a defeat into a moral victory,

That piece from the Times is absolutely nauseating in its sycophancy, who the fuck wrote that? It’s like something a spotty teenager would write in a fanzine. 

A club like no other, indeed. And not just when it comes to covering up child abuse.

I watched that game last night and it nearly went to 2-0 and they went down to 10.

Apparently they were so astonishingly brilliant last night that UEFA are just going to give the trophy and cancel the rest of this season's tournament. 

The fact that the absolute shite published today by Scottish newspapers got passed by a subeditor tells you all you need to know about the incredible bias at work within journalism in Scotland

some of the stuff being written in the papers today is fucking mind boggling. It wont be given any credence outside the east end of Glasgow and actually does the cellic team a disservice because they actually turned in a decent performance - albeit against an extremely weakened Bayern Munich.

 

The end result is they make themselves a laughing stock

By my reckoning - the invincibles have:

Won 1 in 10 CL games

Won 0 in 6 CL home games

Conceded 11 scoring 1 in their last 4 home games

Had 7 put past them, had 5 put past them

Lost last night to a reserve team

Yet the press coverage today is akin to had they qualified from the group.  That record ^ and not one awkward question for Rodgers to answer, indeed he is being congratulated.  It's fucking incredible.

I just can't get my head around it. We were criticised for celebrating a late comeback win against Partick last season by everyone (even by some of our own fans haha!). We were criticised for celebrating a draw away to the taigs thanks to a late Hill strike. Now all of those mad bastards are celebrating a defeat. I guess we all have very different standards...........................

yup - we are all aware that the media are crawling up Rodgers arse but this is a new low.  No one is saying that its easy or they should be winning but to be celebrating absolute failure.  Not that we give a fuck but even previous managers of theirs must be looking at that and wondering wtf.

I think many have said, and I think most sensible people would agree, MON, Strapon and he who shall not be named have a far superior European record to brenda. Even if they said the taigs were brave, courageous, unlucky or whatever, then fair enough but why are they just talking absolute nonsense. It's embarrassing. Even taig fans must be embarrassed with some of the stuff that's coming out. Well, maybe not....................
