Celtic still done me Proud


Well well well, what can i say? where do i start? I had missed the 1st 15 minutes of our game against Manchester United due to being stuck at work, rushed all the way home and settled down to watch the game, deep down i had some questions, about whether Celtic could pull of a win or even a draw, not to rule Celtic out because we did actually beat Man United few seasons back, the only difference this time around was the lack of top players available for Celtic. The first player out for Celtic was Jan Vennegoor of Hesselink, our 2nd player out was Georgios Samaras, straight away we have 2 big attackers out due to Injury, now this left Scott McDonald upfront on his own, personally i dont rate Scott McDonald very well and would actually like to see him ejected from the 1st team and eventually from Celtic, i personally don't feel he is of Celtic class, yes maybe he was at the beginning of last season and near the end of the season, but this season he has been really poor, my 1st choice would either be Samaras or Hesselink or both upfront. Man United just seemed to be too strong for Celtic, Very quick on the counter attack.

What i really need to moan about is the officials, man, these people suck some serious ass! the 1st goal put in against Celtic was a Clear offside call but was allowed, the 2nd Goal, again offside, what is it with officials these days? is it not about time football gets something similar to those of other sports which is video playback, officials are just clearly not cut out for the job, i have seen many bad calls from officials over the years, not only Against or for Celtic, but also other clubs in the SPL and also Champions League, i think it is an absolute disgrace the way officials get away with major bad calls, but hey, I'm not going to grumble, i had it in my heart that Celtic would not get passed Man U, especially on their Home ground! Celtic on the other hand where playing quite well up until the 1st goal went in, Aiden McGeady having a good shot at goal, Celtic overall tonight, where really poor and lacked something special? not sure what this is, but lacked it very much, Normally id be very angry and upset that we have lost as i kinda do take football rather serious, Celtic is part of my life and something that i treasure a lot, i spent many years supporting Celtic, ever since i was a wee boy, Celtic have always been in my heart, i have shed many tears over Celtic, being a fan is when your willing to accept the good with the bad, you win some, you loose some, its football, it can be down to skill, luck or down to dodgy officials call's, but at the end of the day, i can be happy that we managed to get into the Champions League to start with, i can be happy that we progressed once in the Champions League, were as our Glasgow Rivals Rangers never managed to get in to start with.

So overall, I'm still happy with Celtic, and very very proud to be a loyal supporting Fan, I'll always be there no matter if it's a win loose or draw as Celtic is part of me, its a passions, a hobby and a lifetime commitment!

Hail Hail :)
