The Official Celtic Thread

83% possession, lacklustre attacking against 2 banks of 5 but........the pen decision.......the thing is at this stage it was predictable.

1-5 Oh

5-1 doesn't tell the full story at all.
Abada was the catalyst to a far stronger second half.

The penalty awarded against Celtic was harsh when measured against some of the penalties not awarded against other clubs. I've no qualms if it is awarded consistently.

The sending off was a certain red card. I wasn't sure if it was in the box. After a few replays I thought it was. Andrew Dallas on VAR thought it was outside.... a guess to overrule the ref. Dunne had been playing really well up to that point. I won't go as far as saying I felt sorry for him.

Jota was stinking the joint up but did well to get his goal. AJ's desire got the second.

After that it was over as a contest.

Marcus Fraser very fortunate not to Chris Julienne himself on the post. Can't wait to hear what the manager has to say about it. I suspect he'll be annoyed at how the first half played out.
 
Poor fixated Earl. He is clearly triggered by other posters supporting Celtic :)

Strange that the ref was over-ruled twice yesterday on incidents he had a clear view of and made his on-field decision. Yesterday it looked as if Dallas may be still trying to do the work his father, who was sacked in disgrace, could no longer do.

A VERY obvious tug of Oh's jersey by Gogic was called back (Celtic leading 4-1 at the time) and the ref (unsighted due to a crowd of players) was asked to review it. Not told it was a clear and obvious penalty. When Kyogo was initially awarded a penalty for being dragged back on the edge of the box the ref was not asked to review it. He was told by Dallas Jnr that it was no penalty - end of!

Subsequent pictures show that the defender's arm was still on Kyogo when Kyogo was on the 18 yard line. For penalty decisions that line is considered to be INSIDE the penalty area.

I read a series of stats yesterday that make for interesting reading : Can't attest to the absolute veracity of the precise ratios of it but it certainly seems to ring true generally

  • One in 3 league goals conceded by Celtic this season have been penalties.
  • Celtic's nearest rivals in the league have not conceded even one penalty in the league this season.
  • One in 40 goals scored by Celtic this season have been penalties.
  • One in 7 goals scored by their nearest rivals have been from penalties.

They seem to be VERY dramatic in their differences

Ah poor Sound_y, not a glimmer as usual. I find any Cork adult supporting a football team in a different country to our own an imbecile. Fair play, you wear the tag well. This isn't rattlement, it's pity :lol!::lol!:
Nice to see i'm in your head first thing on a Monday morning as usual.
