Romeo Posted December 21, 2020 Share Posted December 21, 2020 Feel sorry for Celtic’s keeper Hazard, while reading the wee story on him on the BBC Scotland website this morning. He thinks he has a future at the club, but after his fairly horrific performance yesterday he obviously doesn’t. The saves at the shootout don’t give any indication on how good a keeper you are, but the previous 120 minutes do. Interesting to see who is in goal for the club on Wednesday. Let’s hope it’s Hazard.He's played 3 games for Celtic and has more Scottish cups wins than Aberdeen football club have had in the last 30 years.Unlucky. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As I stated in another post which you should have quoted me on instead, which you have seen, is the achievements of Bayern Munich and Juventus are credible and do mean something because they have legitimate competition despite their financial advantage. So in essence, Celtic's domestic "success" is meaningless, whereas Bayern Munich and Juventus have achieved proper success. And if my opinion is so meaningless to you, why write a response of that size? Celtic's domestic success is the most meaningless in Europe. Why did I write a reply? As I found it amusing and I am too weak willed to the ignore the opportunity to poke a little fun at the notion of you believing your opinion actually holds authority on the matter Bayern have credible competition do they? Over the last 5 seasons they have won the Bundesliga by an average of 13 points per season. PSG have won theirs by an average of almost 16 points per season over the past 5 seasons. Credible competition indeed 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

G51 Posted December 21, 2020 Share Posted December 21, 2020 Just watched the highlights there - very close and even game. I can't believe it turns out that winning a dead rubber over Lille and a home game against a spiralling Kilmarnock team were mirages. Celtic are as bad defensively as they ever were. The goalkeeping and defending for the last two Hearts goals was comical, Jullien and Duffy running into each other to allow Ginnelly a 1v1 was laughably bad and Ajer got skinned by Aidy White on several occasions. Cracking game but. And yes Celtic have an enormous budget, but winning four trebles in a row is still a very good achievement. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Over the last 5 seasons they have won the Bundesliga by an average of 13 points per season. PSG have won theirs by an average of almost 16 points per season over the past 5 seasons. Credible competition indeed Yes, my opinion is driven by the facts. It is a matter of fact that the financial disparity between Celtic and the rest of Scottish teams is far greater than the difference between Bayern Munich and the rest of German teams, or Juventus and the rest of Italian teams. Also, Monaco beat PSG to the league title in 2017. If Bayern win the league by 13 points against the likes of Dortmund then they have been outstanding. Celtic should've won the league by a distance in the years when Rangers weren't in the premiership. Even when rangers were promoted they were rotten and offered no competition. In Brendan's last year you only beat Aberdeen by 9-points . If Celtic don't win the league by a distance then it's not an achievement. In short, whatever way you look at it Celtic's success is meaningless. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Came from 2-0 down and then 3-2 down in ET while never being in the lead. Not sure how on any level it can be classed as bottling it, you surely have to have chucked the lead for that? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bollocks - it's not an achievement worthy of even being described that way. It's actually embarrassing for our game. I'm not going to claim that it makes us a laughing stock because unlike the coefficient wankers, I recognise that nobody elsewhere takes much notice, although it was a bit cringey seeing the story covered on the UK news. I don't mean that it's embarrassing that no other club challenged them; I mean that it's embarrassing that we've allowed the distribution of resources in our game to reach a stage where such a thing happens. An utterly hollow, meaningless and empty feat that even those celebrating can only derive relief, as opposed to joy, from. Imagine if that was all your club could deliver. The horror! The horror!

An utterly hollow, meaningless and empty feat that even those celebrating can only derive relief, as opposed to joy, from. Imagine if that was all your club could deliver. The horror! The horror! I've made loads of arguments that we need more centralisation of contracts within the SPFL to allow for a more even distribution of resources. I'm completely in favour of that, because a more competitive league is good for everyone in the long term. We shouldn't be in a situation where a team like Aberdeen, Hearts or Hibs can't ever make a realistic run at a title. But it's churlish to deny that this is a good achievement, because it is. Cup runs require a lot of luck - single games of football are so unpredictable, with high levels of variance. To have gone so many games without defeat is an impressive achievement. It's not like Celtic are beating amateur teams to do this. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Very strange post,Hazard will never forget the saves he made to win the cup it's a Tony watt moment. It's up to him to keep the jersey Celtic just gave him a new contract,hes 22 years old FFS hes got at least another 15 years in the game. It's strange you focus on the mistakes of a keeper rather than the saves he made during the game,Joe Lewis is a good keeper but he has made mistakes this season. My take on the game yesterday was brilliant, the first half was men against boys it looked like a massive gap between levels an absolute canter. Credit to the tarts for the second half didn't think they had that performance in them maybe Celtic came off it a bit but the tarts had a feck it attitude. Edouard had 3 decent chances to finish the game apart from the penalty,Griffiths had his moment and Hazard should've punched the ball away for the tarts third. Aidy White was hearts best player on the day but if you're looking for a MOTM It's got to be Hazard.

The Golden God Posted December 21, 2020 Share Posted December 21, 2020 Down South they love to call their FA Cup the best cup competition in the world but it's got absolutely nothing on ours. Yesterday was one of the best finals in recent memory, it would have been even better with fans. The only boring one in recent years was 2018 when Celtic beat Motherwell, 2016 was obviously incredible, 2017 was great especially the ending and last year was very good aswell. Scottish football > anywhere else. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
