Originally published at: Ange reacts to frustrating day for Celtic; explains penalty decision
Celtic manager Ange Postecoglou has given his radio reaction to today’s 0-0 draw at home to Livingston.

Just had that feeling in my gut that it’d get saved, it was that sort of afternoon, a weak, limp effort to round of a completely listless performance.
We needed more balls into feet around their box to try & draw fouls & set up set piece chances, Livi we’re inviting that pressure & we never placed any on them at all.
I don’t recall any of our central attackers attempting to take a touch & face up with the defense, not once all day, just happy enough to recycle ball & pass laterally, nobody stepped up, it was bounce game stuff.
We’re lucky Madden is such a s**t referee, Hart completely missing the ball & double fisting Obileye in the mouth looked like a penalty to me tbh.

Think Livi wanted a point even before a ball was kicked. Wingers double treble, even quad marked a times. As for central, very little space in there. Weak limp effort as you say but not for me. Only one team in the game the other scared to cross the white line in the middle o the park. Parked the bus to frustrate Celtic. Madden his usual sheet performance, Mikey Johnstone shirt ripped up around his ears but this fool turns a blind eye. HH
Classic case of “ if you don’t take your chances”
Saw footage of some of his previous pens and they where really confident strikes.
The later missed chance has me concerned he might be the nervous type……. Hopefully not.
He’s entitled to settling time but there is no getting away from it ………. Poor display
