Aye. No bother.

What about Aldred being sent off and Celtic having a penalty to make it 3-0 against ten men?

Quite a decent report on the SC Final.

BIG MATCH VERDICT Celtic and Brendan Rodgers officially a match made in heaven after Scottish Cup victory says David Friel
Prince Harry and Meghan Markle may have tied the knot just hours earlier but the Scottish Cup Final showed why Rodgers and the Parkhead club are made for each other

Davids a Celtic man. Wrote a book on the invincibles - good read.

I don't mind anything he said except the bit about having to drag us back towards their level, why don't coaches try and improve and try to come up to our level, instead of trying to drag us down. It seems a very very negative outlook and doesn't help improve our league at all.

my mate insists that McLean is a tim, not that you would know from his broadcasts, but he insists McLean and his family are tims - anyone confirm this?
I’m sure he’s an Aberdeen fan?
I’m sure I read he’s a Ross County fan?

They do try to improve, look at the way Hibs and Killie have played at times this season. They just don’t play like that against us. That’s why he is saying it isn’t easy for us as we have to work very hard to find a way past teams who close shop. We’d hammer teams most weeks if they opened up against us.

He said it in the report, he played in a way that suits the players he has available to him and he has made them better. He has to consider the opposition and adjust his game when needed though. How can Hibs put 5 v them when we couldn’t buy a goal against them. How can Killie put 3 in Hibs net when we couldn’t. Sevco put 5 in Hibs net yet we struggled when up against them this season.

Its also why we get scudded in Europe, apart from the time we dragged Barca back to our level with a set piece and a route one long ball.

Look at the spankings we took in the CL when we try and play the same way at that level.

When we beat Barcelona a few years ago, we played ultra defensive and hit on the counter. We didn't try to bring our game up to match Barcelona's.

It's ridiculous to expect other sides to do the same against us. Maybe try it in other matches but against us, I can understand it. It's their best chance of getting away with any sort of point.

edit - Just read the last post in the thread :ffs:

When Ali beat Foreman in the Rumble in the Jungle he abandoned his usual tactics of dancing round the ring to lie on the ropes and let George punch himself out. When Ashe beat Connors in the Wimbledon final he abandoned his usual graceful attacking game in favour of chipping the ball back to rob Jimbo of his power. When Celtic beat Barcelona we abandoned our usual attacking tactics at home for mass defence, waiting for set-piece situations and hitting them on the break. There’s nothing shameful in changing your usual tactics to rob your stronger opponent of their strongest weapons. It’s the smart thing to do.

I hope we do it next season in Europe!

Even when we went ultra defensive Barca still beat us 6-1. Beating Barca was a unique occasion.
PSG and Barca matches in past two years have been sound beatings. That was three matches out of 20+ in those two seasons. Barca have humiliated PSG, Liverpool walloped Roma, Bayern did Barca, all by big scores.
I find defeats to Legia, Molde or Salzburg harder to take. We will improve but we may still take the odd hammering from the top European teams. Such is (football) life.

If you play defensively against the rich clubs you risk a hammering. If you try to go toe-to-toe with them you guarantee it.

Unique as it was, we nearly achieved something similar in the Nou Camp in the same group. We had a worse team then, so it shouldn't be out of the question hoping not to get absolutely burst in both legs by the big teams.

Nearly! Nearly! Nearly! BR is trying something different to backs to the wall stuff. We've been found wanting in some games but my hope is that next year will see us compete better with the bigger teams. We have to aim for better than the odd big scalp, creditable draw or plucky defeat. We don't have a MON type team full of big players (yet) but I'm hopeful for this coming European campaign.

I really hoped we would kick on & learn a lesson, after the home defeat to Munchengladbach - they were outstanding in their set-up, organisation & discipline.
I'd love for us to be able to control a game, the way that Munchengladbach did that night.

I think Clarke is the type of coach who can get that level of performance from his players, I think Brendan's highlight in what he is attempting to do is the narrow home defeat to Bayern - where we went toe to toe with a Giant & almost got something....but came away with zilch.

We will never be able to dominate games until we sort out our defence, Boyata/Jozo don't have the level of concentration that Munchengladbach had that night.

Something he said almost twelve years ago now comes to light, someone must have it in for him.
Surely this is what we are commonly ttold is "banter"?
