Sandman’s Definitive Ratings – Celtic v The Weans of Middle-Earth

Showing 5 of 11

FATHER MARTIN AND SAMWISE GANGEE – 6.5/10 – Straight to the point – I think they missed a trick and botched a substitution by hooking Engels and throwing in a confused Reo. We had imposed ourselves really well with Arne and Calmac taking control of the middle, letting the spectral Negan haunt the spaces between their lines. Suddenly, with 20 left on the clock, Arne was gone, Reo was in and Calmac was outnumbered. Fortunately, no damage was done but Falkirk got a grip once more and we had to survive a few hairy moments instead of vice-versa and putting the game put to bed.

That aside, the MON mantra perpetuates and the players keep believing they’ve got it in them to manifest the boss’s expectations. Big week ahead, keep on, keepin’ on.

MIBBERY – 5/10 – Bargain Stunt on the whistle and Damien Thorn on VAR, what could possibly go wrong… For Falkirk. And we survived plenty of pernickerty non-free-kicks in dangerous areas with non-corners for backup.

Nice contrivance of logic to cancel our third for Daizen being pushed into an offside position. Completely exposed their bias as they metamorphosed a penalty into a penalty against the penalised, a sentenced that makes as much sense as their scurrilous assessment.

Obviously distracted by events at Easter Road piping in through their earpieces, our discipline at the back and the flamboyant attacking flourishes simply made it too much of a leap of logic for them to fashion any drama that would aid their ailing favourites in the capital. They’ll dine in Hell tonight…

  1. Your an auld eejit the green brigade ain’t dafties just because they are young you dismiss them as dafties you obviously didn’t support Celtic before you were sixty.You and fans like you are the reason we’ve got such a shit board grow up these 20 whatever are all as clued up as you they just have the passion still to do something about it.

  2. The Green Brigade bring plenty of colour , humour song and encouragement to our Celtic team . Nobody can dispute that . However despite been the life & soul of our supporters they can’t continue to operate outside the law. . In the past they frequently put on displays that they knew would cause the club fines by UEFA . They made it easy fot the UEFA observer, very often ex Linfield bigot to report us & cause a fine . In recent seasons especially since the club created a standing area & allocated part of it to GB there has been serious overcrowding in GB standing area section. This is bought about at least in part by GB members allowing others to re use their passes . GB are fully aware that Celtic are never treated leniently like the h.ns , and both Glasgow City Council & UEFA could close or partially close stadium because of this . If fans obtained serious injury because of overcrowding + flare, then Celtic in’s wouldn’t cover and club could be out millions .
    We need GB & club to sit down together & hammer out a deal , that will settle this permanently
