You cants need to learn how to take an effective free kick when it's your one and only chance to get the ball in the box.

deBear, I was raging at that.


John Souttar can't get any distance on free kicks yet he was taking them. Somebody should have taken responsibility, like Rankin or something.

Think Rankin was a bit out of it after that blatant elbow.

Utd did well before the second red. Better showing from you guys.

I know you don't want to mention the Ref but I love how You got two players sent off and a pen against you and the Refs are still biased against Celtic

I thought you would have benefitted more had Butcher went off and Paton stayed on.

I don't think Dxon was deliberate handball. I think he was very unlucky and treated harshly. What's he meant to do, make no effort to block the ball in case it hits his arm?

How good is Bitton btw Joy to watch him not panic and assess what the opposing player is doing first before he takes the ball in and moves it on.

Izaguirre was a fckin shambles for the Utd goal, why did he keep the ball in?

Wouldn't expect the Utd boy to be done for the dive, although Deila had a point about Boerigter. I would expect Ciftci to be done though for his cowardly kick to a players head

Great game yesterday and an absolutey shocking playing surface. Dissapointed we didn't go on to win it but at the same time glad we eventually got the equaliser and can take it back home now.

3 games against each other in 6 day's

Aberdeen will be happy too as they can get within 3 points again without us playing.

BTG, that's arguable to be honest. Butcher has been in good form lately although Paton tends to excell in games like yesterday and would have enjoyed the battle.

I've got a lot of sympathy for Dixon in that situation.

At the risk of sounding like a conspiracy theorist, everyone around me behind the goal yesterday (and a fair few on twitter) were predicting a Celtic penalty in the second half. They didn't have to wait long.

Dixon's arm was above his head the ball was going in the net it was a penalty

Hobo and myself called that too on the live thread yesterday.....

Fs and we are supposed to be paranoid

Delia's point about the dive was laughable. We are the only team to be punished for a player diving

What about Aluko

Why let pesky facts get in the way of paranoia though

He said this season BTG

Again don't let facts get in the way of Delia saying THIS SEASON

And he was wrong anyway, Graham got done for diving

Brian Graham has been done this season for diving.

Deila should reign in the paranoia and stop trying to get players suspended.

His arm was up at an unnatural position and away form his body and it blocked a goal bound effort from going in... what did you expect to happen

Shame the poor refereeing within the first 10 mins ruined what could have been a great game, was really looking forward to it and both sides seemed well up for it.

Stokes should have been subbed immediately after missing that 1 on 1, scuffed it so badly and was lucky it even hit the post

Paddy

Did Stokes find one man with a pass all game?

Griffiths was awful too.

Guidetti wasn't much better, I would honestly start with Scepovic on Sunday

On the sky interview he never restricted it to this season only. He was still wrong anyway

Two men sent off and a penalty awarded and yet the refs are still against Celtic

By the way, see when Dow hit the post for us, we should have had a penalty.

Bitton gave Ciftci a two handed shove that moved him about 5 yards. That's a penalty.

don't think anyone can accuse deila of paranoia

everyone up in arms about derk, hit with a belter of a ban and probably more than cifti will get for his sweet chin music.

I thought all your front players were poor. Forrest was stinking too. At least Griffiths redeemed himself with a goal but he was fairly poor throughout.

----------------------------------------------------------------------

And everyone was up in arms about Graham, because nobody likes to see a blatant dive when there's no contact. What's your point?

Deila should reign in the paranoia

----------------

Its called 'Celtic minded', takes a while (in the unlikely event of signing someone whom is not already inclined that way) to get them up to speed with the ethos.*




*see also the Guidetti songbook

The pitch is atrocious though Ivan, you can't play football on the deck on that. Bit of magic from Johansen and a superb finish with the head has got us a replay.

Guidetti should have finished the ties

Delia has been nothing but a breath of fresh air about the referees He's only criticised the one away to Inter Milan and the one yesterday with valid points.

Cifti is an animal, on the balance of probabilities I'd say he did grab that linesman's throat now

And to think Ciftci was being singled out by refs too

*************************************

Yes after the break he was much better.

Our penalty came because of his great play. Griffiths had an open goal with only one player to beat twice yesterday. Once he hit it straight at the defender (who used his arms to save it) .the other time straight at the keeper for him to save it.

As for the rest of both their games yesterday
