Celtic FC Team Talk/Gossip/Rumours Thread 25/26

Fantastic final 28 minutes

Fcukwits on the pitch though

Shame the fans on the pitch meant there is no final whistle.

Well done to celtic 1st time on top since September some way to win it though.

Missed out on best the moment on the pitch. Reports now that hearts players were punched by the fans.

Some horrible carry on tainting this somewhat but what a job by MON, someone I couldn't stand by the end of his ireland tenure!

A great ending to the season. And again var called the correct decision..

I thought it would have been better for Hearts has they needed to win, because only needing the draw sometimes makes you play within yourself. I think that happened today, they were happy to sit with everyone behind the ball.

As for the pitch invasion, I hate them. But they are hard to stop. I don't mind young kids as much, but the invasions now are fully grown men who should know better, looking for selfies with players. Grow up you fools. And I saw Shankland holding his mouth and spitting out, as if he got a slap. I hope these reports of player assaults aren't true, because it they are they are very damaging. If they did happen, I hope CCTV is used to catch any culprits and bring them to court.

What a day of football. And Celtic didn't even play well.

And breathe.

what a title win. So delighted for MON especially.

Hopefully that title win will bring back some harmony to the club and we can start looking forward to the future and making a better effort at maximising the club’s potential. A huge summer ahead with transfers in and out of the club and maybe a new manager as well and we don’t really have the structure or personnel in place at the club for that task.

For today though we can celebrate and hopefully complete the double against Neil Lennon’s Dunfermline team next week. A remarkable season we won the last 7 league games in a row (a record itself IIRC) and lifted the title despite losing 8 games. MON aged 74 came in with Maloney and Fotheringham did a great job galvanising the players, shutting down all the noise from within and without the club and delivering a great title triumph. Hail Hail.

I watched it back on Sportscene this evening and I could not believe we give the top striker for Hearts a free header at the back post, what kind of marking was that?

I agree with pjohnson above about Sarrachi

watching sport scene on YouTube here as well. Maeda’s goal. People complain about VAR but imagine what a travesty it would have been if that offside stood which it would have without VAR.

It wasn’t even close to offside. An horrendous call from the assistant referee to flag that. He was flagging Maeda but Osmand went beyond him to pass it back to him. Thank Ghod VAR was there to correct that one.

Great drama but shameful scene at the end, with another ground security shambles allowed Hearts players to be accosted. Glad to see that this was acknowledged by the great man Martin O'Neill.

I think it was a mistake? Hard to believe right enough and It’s alarming that an experienced assistant ref would flag that because Maeda was offside when the ball was put through to Osmand but is obviously back onside when Osmand crosses it back to him.

VAR has its problems but on balance I’m in favour of it because of something like that today.

Great day today. Still buzzing.

Not sure I had even fully recovered from Wednesday evening when I sat down for todays game but wow what a final 10 minutes or so after a nerve wracking first 80 minutes. Deserved win on the day and fitting that we won the title on a late winning goal and equally fitting for me that it was Maeda that got it. His return to form has been the spark that has been the key to us pulling off this remarkable title win. 8 goals in his last 6 games and hopefully some more to come next week in the cup final. But today well this is definitely one to savour.
