Celtic win the Wembley Cup. Nice to see a Scottish team putting the premiership boys in their place. |

Anyone see McCourt's run? Wonderful, but a pity he couldn't finish!
Alan Thompson with a peach of a free kick there.

We beat Dumbarton 1-0 today in the Challenge Cup.
Our game was moved to today because their stadium was booked out for a wedding yesterday. | |

McCourt looks a player btw, skinned about 5 players got to the keeper 1-on-1 and just missed.

He done well, but I didn't notice any pass he made forward or over ten yards.
Maybe i'm wrong, but I can't think of any.

He was played in the centre of the park, which isn't his natural position.
He didn't do a lot of long passes, but then again he didn't have to, he's great with the ball at his feet and he's not afraid to take a man on.
Crosas was there to handle the longer balls leaving McCourt free to dribble the ball and play a bit.

Fair enough, but had tottenhams defence actually shown up, he might have been useless.
I use the word might. He done a good job, i'll give him his dues, and on the counter against spl opposition he'd easily stroll up the park.

Spurs spent 9Million on a right back.
That's more than that entire Celtic team cost.
It might've been pre-season for Spurs, it was pre-season for us too.
Credit where it's due.
It's not an AMAZING result but the boy played well.

Bit different if theres 3 players screaming for the ball and he is passing it back the way. Plays with the ball at his feet so.... we've other players to make them type of passes...
Pass & move & look for the pass, take it, pass then move again.
Looks pretty dangerous in my book, but time will tell eh.
Well in Mowbray and Grant. That was a good spurs side out today, make no mistakes. Celtic Reserves & U-19's out for the most part....best thing is...they all look hungry as fuck for a game.
Can only be good.  Quote:

| lol and if we had played better we'd have won the league last year...
What kind of ridiculous summary is that?
You'd make a blinding pundit.
'and Barcelona win 5-0 today but if the other team weren't shite and Barcelona werent as good then.... it could've been closer....' 
How was the Nurenberg game, Timothy?
