Celtic FC: Embarrassed by nothing, offended by everything

Nice to see the great unwashed are taking this well. Also the police are investigating the abuse aimed at the young lad since his departure from those jolly craicsters in the green and grey.

Fuck yeah !!!!

Who's the old farts over 51 ?

They should be more worried about how to beat us........Remember Liverpool last season ? They were in horrid form when we played them and they turned us over no problem. FFS.....even Torres scored. Manure have scraped past West Brom, beat a poor Spurs, destroyed a woeful Arsenal and yesterdays result for them was a decent score, but that was a Bolton side that allowed them to play. This will be their toughest test to date in the league and we will not make it easy for them. They've been getting all the headlines while we plod along doing what's needed to win and in the process we're right up there. The shoe was on the other foot last season when we were spanking everyone left right and centre..........it means nothing at the end of the day when you can't beat your rivals in head-to-heads. These are the games that matter.

Right.......that's an email sent to numerous UK Media outlets to get this highlighted.

You don't need the club to approach the FA for action to be taken. As far as I'm aware if the referee hasn't booked Bardsley for the incident and if it's not in his match report then a review panel can take action against Bardsley. I suppose the only way it's going to get a mention is if it's brought to the attention of the appropriate people. If I have to go on a one man crusade to get this thug banned I will. Power to the people.

Nah mate, I'm sorry......but that's the sort of incident that gets pulled up every week on MOTD, SSN, Goals on Sunday, etc......Sky have made a big song and dance about Kevin Davis' "clumsy tackle" on Cleverly and we haven't even got a mention. Just because Mata was able to get up and continue playing does not make it right or acceptable. A player shouldn't have to leave the pitch on a stretcher for something like this to be highlighted. For me it's just as bad as the infamous tackle by Roy Keane on Haaland. Mata was fortunate Bardsley didn't stamp on his spine.......he could have been finished. Look at this video of a tackle on Pienaar and tell me he didn't intend on taking him out. You'll see the same reaction as we saw against Mata. An instant "I will now stand up and claim my innocence" look on his face. the guy is a thug and deserves the full force of the FA banning his thuggish behaviour for a very long time.

Who ......Phil Bardsley the Scotland international ?

Why has this not been highlighted by SSN or MOTD ? I was furious that Bardsley got off with one of the most blatant acts of stamping you'll see this season. It's showed clearly on this link below with several angles in "slow motion" (on 47 seconds). Bardsley adjusts his feet to make sure he was able to drive his foot down on Matas back. He even has the audacity to turn around straight after he done it and apologise for making contact. That angered me more. I hope for the sake of other players out there that this thug is taken to task over his actions. This is not the first time Bardsley has went recklessly into a tackle or left someone leaving the pitch on a stretcher. He's a thug......plain and simple. http://deadspin.com/5838953/watch-a-chelsea-player-take-cleats-to-his-back-and-decide-for-yourself-whether-it-was-intentional

Playing as a lone striker imo takes away the part of his game that makes him dangerous. He's better coming in from out wide with the ball. I'd take Anelka off for Torres and push Sturridge out right.

Quite happy about this.....decent player

Can't wait........

This is absolute bollocks........I'm off to watch some paint dry

Boo Hoo.....Stoke didn't lie down and let us thump them 6-0

Was always going to be a tough game, the ref didn't help matters with some of his decision making....mind boggling to say the least. That being said.......in terms of a creative force we were pathetic in the 1st half. Kalou and Malouda offered nothing. It was good to see Torres looking like a player again. He and Ramires ran their socks off. A lot of teams will there and come away with nothing, so a point may not be a bad thing when you look at the bigger picture. I'm just glad that game's out of the way.

20 mins to go...we're getting closer. My spider senses are tingling, I can feel a goal coming soon........

Awwwwwwwwwwwww nico

Fucking Shawcross again......Open your fucking eyes Halsey you fuck nugget

Nothing in that.....Torres should have done better. Now that WAS a penalty.....Holy shit Mikel !!!

Malouda almost got Schumachered

Halsey.....you're a fud

This will probably not happen, but I'd like to see Drogba come on and go 4-4-2. Torres is playing well enough to be kept on, but the wide me just aren't doing it and sometimes you have to go route one. I'd haul Malouda off in an instant as he's been as much use as a chocolate teapot. Get the ball up to him asap and perhaps draw a few free kicks around the box. Stoke are sticking tight to our players so the opportunity is there to draw the foul. A free kick could be the only way we'll win this game.

Unlucky Torres......wee man is playing well
