Sadly mistaken, you've been poor yet again in the first half.

And yet again, a much improved performance in the second half. The game turned when Matty Smith was more involved with Jace Van Dijk off the field.

I don't think Celtic supporters have anything to worry about. There were some beautifully crafted tries by Celtic; far better than those scored by Salford.

Your guys need to get quicker, get more disciplined (Salford would never have come back into the game if that laying on hadn't happened, bringing about the penalty) and have a good deal more game time to gel properly and just generally adjust to Superleague. I'm amazed at what Celtic do after what? Two matches and a week's worth of training time? And their first two games are away? They've had it tough and yet have not disgraced themselves in either game, and Salford did not play especially cleanly tonight either. I reckon everything will gradually come together for Celtic. There's too much talent in that side for it not to.

I also hope you don't have to play at 7.30 in the evening again. That is just plain stupid and very unfair on the fans.

They need to wake up for the first 20 minutes, then they might start winning some games.

True. There was mention of that by the Sky guys after the match tonight. It seems they stay overnight in a hotel or something and may not be making best use of the waiting time prior to the game, or it could simply be that they haven't played at enough SL matches yet to get going quick enough. Hopefully it will get sorted soon as they look like they could really make a go of this, assuming the troubles at the club aren't significant.

Come back? Are you aware that Salford were the team in Red that were 20-0 up and never behind?

Oh, and Blakejake - you are a bit silly aren't you? Was that Salford "getting pumped" again?
