BBC to broadcast Celtic v Forfar Farmington. Jodie Bartle: “Absolute banger of a goal. Absolute Worldie”

Celtic’s next match in their SWPL1 against Forfar Farmington on Sunday 6 December has been confirmed as the live broadcast match on the BBC.

The side’s exciting 6-2 win away to Hibs last Friday night was broadcast live on BBC Alba while the previous game, the Beautiful Sunday win away at theRangers was on the new Ibrox club’s Pay per View channel.

This is an exciting Celtic side who are right in the hunt for the league title alongside longtime Champions Glasgow City with perhaps theRangers and Hibs capable of making a challenge.

The Scottish Building Society SWPL have just confirmed that the Next Celtic match – just our second home game of the season after a tough run of away fixtures against Glasgow City, Hearts, theRangers and Hibs – will be on the BBC.

Celtic were 5-1 ahead at the interval last Friday against a Hibs team who perhaps will have felt that they had the better of the play. Yet Celtic were absolutely ruthless in their attacking play and boy was it exciting to watch! If only Neil Lennon could get the mens team to play like that!

Celtic star Jodie Bartle got her first goal for Celtic in that exhilarating victory over Hibs but still reckons that the team could do better than they did in that first 45 minutes!

“Awesome feeling, buzzing to get on the scoresheet,” Jodie told the official club website. “Especially because of last week when I thought I had scored against (the)Rangers.

“We had been working on our set-pieces so I think we got that one down to a tee. So to score from a set-piece so early was brilliant,” she said. “We weren’t happy with our first-half performance. To be honest, the first-half was one off our worst performances of the season so far. It wasn’t good enough for us, it wasn’t the Celtic way as we should’ve been further ahead. It isn’t how we train. We just weren’t ourselves at all.

“The scoreline was the only positive. The half-time talk was enough, we came out in the second-half and we were much better,” she said. Remarkable stuff.

Lisa Robertson, also grabbed her first goal for the club since signing earlier in the year and what a goal it was!

Bartle would rather talk about her teammate’s strike. “We are really pleased with Lisa and she scores an amazing goal,” she said. “Really pleased because she is ex-Hibs. Absolute banger of a goal. Absolute worldie.

“That is her first goal as well, just the fashion she’s scored it in from such long range, I am sure she wouldn’t have dreamed to score her first goal in any other way.”
