is the game on live tonight :o)

Kenny Miller has just scored !
-
Well he has in the re-run of 2nd half
of benfica game on CH67 :-)
Benfica just hit the bar by the way.
-
Right Gents,
I'm off to the land of the rising sun this weekend, and have one day of work to go, so i'll have to be giving this game a miss.
Michael__67, if you're staying up to watch it, i'll speak to you 2mrw morn for an in-depth update.
Noel90, if you're still up, to provide some light entertainment for the late-night brethren, i would suggest a link to Alan Partridge's USA94 world cup updates might be a relevant touch
C'mon the Hoops.....let's have a few touchdowns into their goalbag earl in the first quarter

Leftwinger
Duly noted. Got the Argentina V Chile u20 to see me through till the Celtic game...
-
Here's the team i'd like to see start tonight...anyone differ?!
AB
MW BB SM LN
TB SB MD AM
JVoH SM
SUB: D_D
-
I'd like to see us start with our strongest lineup , includes Capone , to have a proper look at him.
Kenny Miller to Partner JVOH , I think these yanks will leave plenty of space in behind.
Prediction 3-1
-
Lefty
Noel's away for a kip till kick off so I'll do the honours...
Alan Partridge Road to World Cup USA '94
-
Good shout about Capone...forgot about him!
I would probably drop Teddy B and slip Capone in the center and push scott brown out wide right, he's played there for hibs so would be interesting to see although in the long term i would prefer his 'Dig' in the middle.
-
I expect a tough game tonight.
we may have treated last year's games in America as training sessions when we lost at least one game heavily but I think we have to treat tonight's with a bit more respect to avoid a similar fate.
i was listening to an interview with Steve Morrow(used to play with arsenal). He is currently head coach for Dallas i think. the interviewer questioned him about the standard of American soccer and suggested that it would perhaps be Championship standard but Morrow replied that most of the teams could survive in the premiership if they could play their first 11.
Considering we are playing against what is generaaly accepted as the best players in the league I hope we don't treat the game lightly. I expect that we will put out a strong side and not have the wholesale changes that may disrupt our shape unless the heat and humidity forces the manager's hand.
-
Dziekanowskis...
Not often I agree with someone wholeheartedly but the eleven you have gone with is certainly what I'd like to see for the first 45 at least...
-
67+....................
still not showing anything
Joethetired
-
Michael,
I was gonna respond in your absence to confirm our strongest XI.
In saying that, i'd start Darren O'Dea ahead of big Mick
-
What a goal for Argies U20...
Lefty
Id rather see O'Dea than McManus, but Strachan has showed through his pre season selection so far that O'Dea doesnt look an immediate pick for starting x1 at the moment. If that is the case id rather get Balde and McManus together and give them a test tonight...
Id like to see O'Dea, Killen, Capone, and Jarosik also make an appeareance tonight...
-
Kingoh, I also expect a tough game not only because the MLS season is already half way through but also that the heat/humidity and altitude will take it's toll especially against players who are more likely to be more used to the climate than ours will be. Also the MLS league is generally being given good credit regarding its standard everywhere you read about it. It's also interesting to note the coverage we are getting through it in comparison to previous years.
M_67: i think GS will change it about after 45 or at the latest 60 due to the climate...but then again what do i know i am but a mere observer! lol
i think it will be a hard fought game with only a goal between the sides
-
Think Darren O'Dea is currently out injured and so has not featured during pre season games
-
lefty,
I'd swap McManus for O'dea in a second but apparently he's been left at home along with Evander snow!
D_D
-
Declan
Cheers for the heads up. Hadnt realised that. Hope he is involved heavily this season, would love to see the mix of he and Bobo at the back. Could be pretty formidable.
Here, Sod the Celtic game - this under 20 semi final is a belter....
-
Hope aiden treats us to one of these tonight...
-
Or a bit of this
-
Lets hope Aiden and the bhoys saw some of the Copa America and took note of The Master , The Aprentice, and The surprise package....

Guys,
is it a 2am or 2.30am KO? Reading an article on the celtic website about McGeady and it states it's a 2.30am KO?! i thought it was 2am as reported nearly everywhere else on the web!
M_67: The snippets are keeping me up!

Wee Shug
doesn't matter if you are quick enougth.
Please, for us in the dark, post them anyway.

I'll tell you in 20 odd minutes...
I thought kick off was at 2.00am. Could it be possible that C67 is having the game in full but slightly delayed??

M_67
Thats what i was thinking...but as you were saying ... "We'll find out in 20" lol
-
Rkid,
I watched the rest of the U20 match. Chile look exceptional. Their ball control, strength and technique is a joy to behold.
I'm off to my pit just now, but txt me any goals in the Celtic game in case i haven't dozed off.

Waiting on the game to start they are showing lacrose on ESPN at the mo... Never knew they had cheerleaders like that..
-
Evening/morning all,
What a pleasure to be able to sit in front of the tv, drink a beer or 3 and watch the bhoys live. Usually it's up at the crack of dawn to watch the game before breakfast on the PC via C67.
Looking forward to the game. I think it is an 8pm kick-off which will means the program starts just as the ball is kicked off. Had it been NFL there would be a 3 hour pre-game show.
Still, not complaining at all. Just heard some Lacrosse commentator say that the Scottish Champions Celtic are up next against the MLS all-stars. That's not something you hear very often.
CMON THE BHOYS

Any updates would be appreciated people.
Work internet speed isnae good enough to watch and I don't have speakers.
Thanks,
Kano

Looks like 2.30 parkhead time is correct for KO. 30mins of watching Beckham text someone on his phone before the game starts :)
More on the "legendary Celts" after the break....

Kick off is on the 1/2 hour I believe.

Apparently we were founded in 1887.....

"Most dominant scottish side ever - Founded in 1887"

The most dominant Scottish League side ever. That'll be ESPN on the FF boycott list. :-)
-
I thought it was a 2am kick-off and my crisp supplies are running low already. May have to write a firmly worded letter of complaint ;)
Team looks pretty defensive, must be going for the European approach and sitting back given the heat, etc.
C'mon the hoops!

Boruc saves from point blank range.
MLS fwd got through rather easily.

I suppose wi the time difference it might be possible right enough!

Everything played through Shalary Joseph when the yanks have the ball.
Lively opening - with Celtic not yet settled completely.
No real width in the team...
