    His hat trick vs Paraguay was a decent moment.

    The team sheet lists him as Timo. Love it.

    "Timo" seems to be catching.

    Celtic games are usually available on YouTube. You just need to know how to search for them.

    Tip: GJhEnLHNqI8

    PS: YouTube often takes them down, though, so it's not a great idea to direct embed them here. If that happens just search for "Celtic" live, last hour.

    Not much for Weah in the first 20. A couple runs and had one good hold up play. Celtic really hasn't done anything sans an awesome run from Sinclair that the keeper did a good job on to barely deflect over the goal.

    Weah did a great job pressing and had a 1 on 1 with the keeper, keeper makes good save. Prob needed to be a little better from Weah but it was a chance from nothing.

    Have to stop watching, but I wil say this about Weah's first 40 or so minutes. No goals, but his movement is absolutely incredible, and he is just a constant pest.

    Timo is his own man out there. Very disconnected from the rest IMO.

    If you use Acestream on Windows you MUST use a VPN. Major security risk. It's basically a torrent client, and you become a seeder the moment your link. Which means people are downloading from you and on Windows you cannot know what they are downloading.

    Was thinking this a bit last game as well. Some of it has to do with his position but also because he’s not playing when they’re up.

    He can’t make those runs and get those thru balls when the other team is packed in front of their goal.

    Hope he doesn’t get subbed early.

    Not doing gameday thread, apologies.

    Halftime 1-0 celtic. Tuned in at 20'. Celtic with at least 90% possession. Tim playing very static central striker, standing at top of box and not getting to move much. Only had 3 touches in the time I saw.

    - picks up bad backpass and goes in solo on goal. Takes touch and tries to slide it passed keeper but blocked.

    - actual no touch. Whiffs on a header inside the 6, would've tough to score but should've at least touched it.

    - gets ball wide and takes it to endline, hits hard driven cross that goes for corner.

    - checks back, holds up ball and gets fouled.

    Thats it so far.

    It's a constant theme with YA: Timo is often by-passed by his mates.

    When he gets the ball it's because he won it himself. Kinda frustrating.

    How would a VPN address that?

    You can block anything going upstream through the VPN controls.

    PS: And of course you can do that in Linux natively.

    Rewatched it all. Main notes are:

    - he's definitely not a #9. But they have good wingers and this is good way for him to get on the field.
    - with 90% possession, seemingly, it was so bunched up at the top of the box. He tried to come back for the ball a few times but was pretty much hidden for 60 minutes.
    - love the kid but his touch is extremely heavy. Seen it several times for now and he must resolve that. Was 3 of his 6 possessions were characterized by a bad 1st touch. Is exposed when ball played into him either posting up or checking back.

    Worked hard for what he could, no oppty to make many runs but stayed busy for the most part.

    Not a great game for him, but massive kudos for getting his 1st start.!
