Thread: Inverness CT v Celtic

A solid defensive partnership of Hoovield and Loovens allowed waves of silky attacking play from full backs Cha Du Rei and Charlie Mulgrew on the overlap. The midfield, inspired by the inspirational Shaun Maloney, won every ball and hassled ICT out of the game. Brown, eager to prove a point, proved his doubters wrong with a display straight out of the top drawer. Ledley and McCourt provided width with venemous precision. Fortune and Samaras's guile up front was matched only by the beligerant cheating of ICT and the referee. Noteful cameos for James Forrest who should have scored with a Larsson-esque effort late on and Efrain Juarez who showed a deft touch and visionary vision in the closing stages.

Well done to the Celts- 3 pts, it should have been 10. Hail hail.

You need banning.

sammy - selfish ****
maloney was class - hope he can stay fit
ledley - was he playing
brown - worse performance in a tic jersey
mulgrew - oh shit
fortune - excellent game done everything that sammy would't do - hold the ball up - pass - shoot at a decent angle

much better in the 2nd half but we need to be playing like that for much more then 40 mins

defence still looks dodgy as fuck

The first 20 minutes were an absolute embarasment. From then on in we completely dominated the game and were unlucky not to score at least 5.

Zaluska was decent.
Cha provided some fantastic overlapping runs and was only troubled defensively once.
Hoiveld is as slow as a life sentance.
Loovens was good.
Mulgrew was his usual defensively. Swung in some nice balls though
Ledley was anonymous.
Brown was gutted. Came decent in the second half thoughg.
Fortune was solid. Always available and playing a few nice balls through.
Maloney could have had a hat-trick. Good to see him back though.
McCourt - what can you say? Was as average as everyone else before he jinked past 3 players and score from a hard angle. Got headbutted by Maloney and off injured. The kind of player we need in our team
Samaras was as infuriating as ever.

All in all it was a good 3 points.

agree with most.just hope mloney keeps it up.seen it all before with him...1 great game then goes off the boil or gets "injured".thought ledley ok.sure he will come good

Zaluska - 6 didnt have much 2 do but was ok
Cha - 7 went forward well
Hoiveld - 6 was ok but is haveing to help out mulgrew too much
Loovens - 6 wasnt his usual disasterious self
Mulgrew - 4 gutter
Ledley - 5 was missing in large parts broke through twice can see his frustration
Brown - 5 same as ledly but game into the game after we scored
Fortune - 8 thought he was great cant see him scoring alot but will get alot of assist this season
Maloney - 8 motm was fantastic only thing missing was a goal
McCourt - 6 cracking goal but wasnt in the game until he did that but who cares he changed the match.
Samaras - 6 turned back into his annoying self.

Lennon - 6 didnt agree with his starting line up but must have given the team a boot up the arse at half time. 9/9 in the spl hopefully it can continue.

thought we took a little while to get going but never looked like losing the game,,
2nd half it was all us won 1 nil but could have had 4 or 5
happy with the three pts and off to a winning start,,

Sammy is a big greedy selfish blind bastard he does that stuff all the time in games. If I were maloney I'd be heading him in the nuts (they are after all at eye level) Sammy is not a centre forward spends too much time in midfield IMO
