SANDMAN’S DEFINITIVE RATINGS: CELTIC @ LEGOLAND…

“I would rather have an inferiority complex and be pleasantly surprised, than have a superiority complex and be rudely awakened.” – Vanna Bonta

THE FRIENDLY GHOST – 7/10 MOTM – A returning Danish hero, and heroics were on the cards as he produced a wonder-save to foil a wonder-strike and keep us in the game. For about two minutes. But this wasn’t on Kasper – after producing our best play of the game with that fantastic dive, he remained the only Bhoy in tune; but despite his attempts to rouse his men, they remained Celts in timidity.

KATIE – 4.5/10 –  Even the EPL experience of KT wasn’t enough to hold back the tide of diasporic enthusiasm from the home side’s multi-national collective of well-researched quality. After recent resurgence, he struggled with the pace and the interchanges around him. Lasted the 90, but with a grim set and little influence.

TONY THE TIGER – 4/10 – Took one in the face like he was sparring with Rocky, to save a certainty. But it must have rattled him, because soon after, their tricky Basque winger rinsed him twice and killed us stone deid. It left Tony chasing shadows and us chasing a game we totally lost a footing in. Should have melted the wee upstart early on.

OF JUSTICE – 4/10 – For the first half hour, Liam looked settled and focussed. But the real test came in that collapse, and he let it get to him – flustered, losing control of the central spaces as their fluid movement dragged
him around. He failed to make the precise decisions we needed and exert the command he’s shown in big games.
