Alright guys, long time no post. Been having PC issues (like not having one) for a while due to getting married and moving house. Hopefully getting a laptop sometime soon but i'm having to make do with stealing internet time at my Mum's house or at the library.
Enough about me,
I know alot of the guys like to take part in a wee bit of fantasy football fun (a threeser???) so check this one out.
Its the official EUFA
Champions League Fantasy Football site.
I've created a private league called 'the Champeens League' which anyone is welcome to join.
If you dont have a team already then you can register at
Fantasy Football Fun
Once you've logged in and picked your team, click 'Leagues' at the the top of the page.
The code to join is 6960-25496.
You know what to do!!!
Deadline to register for the games tonight is 19:30 this evening. Sorry it's short notice but i'm sure there's a few guys out there with more than enough time on their hands.
Have a good one and a big GIANT MON the hoops for tonight
Laters, Michele (previously Codi36)

Paul, any luck with the bag?
What is the mood in the city their side, our side in regards to the game.
Seems like things are positive on the blog.

3rd (maybe even 2nd)
How childish am I?
-
Paul - 3 hours 35 minutes before the game starts is a new record for a 'live updates' thread....
I hope you'll be being sensible out there with the extra time.....
....or doing your Jason Bourne bit in hunting down the perp in the case of the missing case.....
Sorry you've had that trouble...its even less funny than one of my jokes.....
Enjoy the game.

Haven't been able to post recently so pardon me if I'm covering old ground but I just had to mention this: I watched the Hearts v rangers game on Saturday (I have never intentionally watched rangers before; it pains me too much) and couldn't believe that Cuellar for his two footed lunge from the back, Weir for his elbow and McGregor for what can only be called an assault were not red carded. I don't think the English commentator could quite believe it either. I know they get a lot of dodgy decisions but that ref's performance was unbelievable. I take it Gordon Smith has been conspicuous by his absence in his comments.
On to more pressing matters: I hope Paul Hartley reprises his International role and that we get a wee bit of luck. For the rest, I'm sure they will all give their all.
WE SHALL NOT BE MOVED.

Just one thing to say
Mon the HOOPS!
Trust in Ghord!

Congrats on getting married/moving house, whichever your more chuffed about. Will have a look at your fantasy league but i'm already in an EPL fantasy league and a Serie A not sure i could really put the research into another.
Prediction for tonight -Shaktar 1-1 Celtic. Big Mick with eqaliser so dont panic if we go behind :-)
-
I think JVoH will be very tightly marked tonight and be lucky to get even a sniff at goal. The midfielders are the ones most likely to score, particulary Brown and of course Naka from a FK.
We may see Hartley coming in for McD but that would be the only change from Saturday. Personally I would go with the same side.
Given up trying to predict the CL scores but I'll be happy to see Collie proved right at 3-0 or Declan at 1-1 :)
Back just before KO ...

Go to Portugal last week - wake up and Scotland have beaten France and by the end of the weekend we're top of the league !! Now I'm back, let's hope that good fortune continues to smile upon us. 2-2 draw for me.
-
-
Can i just point out that since i've been married (Sunday 12/08/07) Celtic have not dropped points in any league based competition and neither have Scotland. My marrige is good luck for my temas. Here's hoping i dont get divorced before 21:30ish tonight.
Got to go now so hope everyone is as happy as me later tonight!!!
Hoopla! MC

will there be radio commentary for the CL match on clyde1?
-
collie ill thank you for not equating celtic winning the champions league with aviating porcines :( as we only ever lose out because of our own tendancy to shoot ourselves in the foot so bound to get it right sooner or later :)
oh god is it time yet hate the wait :(
captialist commies 1 celtic 2 :)
-
we will make 2 defensive errors and get beat 2 nil.

Anyway, Mon the hoops. 3-1 the nite!!!!

My prediction: 1-1. A controlled defensive performance by us, with Artur pulling off a couple of big saves.
Scorer, MacDonald 38mins.

The match is on Clyde.
-
i know what you meant collie :)
-
UEFA/ESPN live match purchase complete and now I'm about to barricade myself in my office for the match. Hopefully this time my assistant won't be as surprised when I start howling at the computer screen (she had to share office space with me during the Spartak shootout).
2-1 the 'tic (Hartley early again, Naka with a late screamer from open play)
-
Hartley in for Aiden according to BBC Scotland. No other changes from Saturday.
-
thank gord for that
horrible nightmare last night about wgs recalling virgo and playing him as lone striker :( shudder!!
-
Just about every previous CL section away match has seen the same optimism from us all. It would be nice to be rewarded for once. Come on the Bhoys!

Team as expected, c'mon the hoops!!!!
Over to Al...
Now I can't make you do it. You've got to look at the guy next to you, look into his eyes. Now I think you're gonna see a guy who will go that inch with you. You're gonna see a guy who will sacrifice himself for this team, because he knows when it comes down to it, you're gonna do the same for him.
That's a team, gentlemen. And either we heal, now, as a team, or we will die, as individuals. That's football, guys. That's all it is. Now, what are you going to do?
-
Hail Hail,
Not posted in a few weeks but just wanted to wish the Bhoys all the best tonight and to get us off to a flier. Prediction 0-1 or 1-2 for the Tic. Off to watch the Daily Huddle and start the match build up.
Come on the Tic!!!!!
Nakagod.
On a side note. odd stat, 4 of our goals in the last 5 games have come from o.g's.
Michele, cheers for the league invite.
-
Come on the hoops..
My heart says 2.0 for the Bhoys, but my head says 1.1
-
Looks like Nery Castillo is starting on the bench, really didn't expect that. 20 million euros and he only gets on the bench...either a big gamble, or the players starting are worth a lot more!

Just for you Al Pacino
I'm looking for 5 points from the opening 3 games and think tonight might just be the hardest of the lot.
Do us proud.
-
Hey Michele,
I joined up too. Thanks for the invite.
0-2 Celtic tonight. Mon the hoops.
-
Are we ready?
-
Collie
Of course I understand you.Right, who knows, maybe one day I will share a dinner with you. Live is beautyfull and cruel becouse you cannot presume what will brings you next day.
Why only one goal? They have Lewandowski, the other Pole. I wish him to explain tomorrow that the good result was so close.
-
Getting mildly concerned. Can't seem to get my UEFA live video to work. Anyone know where I find the link to the game I've alreay purchased
-
OK all working now. Need to go calm down
-
Gordon Strachan picks a team that everybody expected surprise. Who would have thunk it? Maybe he's been listening to us after all.
Or maybe he's just educated us.
Mon the hoops.
Got to go downstairs now. This split level living is taking a bit of getting used to.
-
mncelt:
Maybe through here? Sorry if its wrong, I am not really sure how you would view it.

-
As Richard Keys just said after Gordon's pre-match interview there...'He is always worth listening to'.
I'm sure a few scottish journalists just choked on their pies after hearing that.
-
how do you watch the games on uefa.com
-
COME ON THE BHOYS
Fans in full voice in the stadium
-
toomebridge - It costs $8 to watch the ESPN feed on UEFA.com
-
This is what it's all about.
C'mon the Hoops.
-
Come on Celtic - you can do it!!
Hail! Hail!

Paul is surrounded by Shakhtar fans, he is feeling very confident. (He always does)
Hope he is our good luck charm

Bhoys in the tunnel - here we go ...
-
Good luck Gordon and the Bhoys.
-
There's a free video feed on www.stv.tv for those with a UK IP address, but unable to watch STV on the box.
C'Mon the hoops!
-
Mick reminds me of our greatest ever captain when he lines up like that.
-
Bhoys in the huddle
-
kick off time
C'MON THE HOOPS
-
chance for Shakhtar - header over the bar
-
Early cross into the box from them and a header over
-
SD have knocked a few long balls forward already - good sign for us - they can do that all night
-
C'mon Celtic, do us a turn tonight
Hail Hail
-
goal Shakhtar
-
0-1 defensive mistake
-
Bad control by McManus leaves striker with space to run into.
-
Way too casual at the back - similar to TG last season. I think it was Brown but not sure with the sloppy back pass.
Almost a second for them there. We need to get a grip
-
once again we look absolutely flat-footed in a big euro away game...
-
0-2 ffs
-
thats that tonight.
-
2 - 0. Disaster.
-
2 - 0 Help
-
We didn't close the winger down at the right back position. A good cross and headed finish. Naylor couldn't get close to his man
-
Awful, awful start.
Basic mistakes which we can get away domstically, haunt us on the bigger stage.
Need to get the next goal or we'll get absolutely hammered.
-
embarrassing start. we are not competing.
-
AC lead Benfica 1-0.
-
rabbits in the headlights
frightening stuff here
-
exactly the same as copenhagen, benfica, shaktar all those years ago... woeful.
nothing to do with money, all to do with attitude. we are asleep!
-
second goal naylor ball watching , could have defended it with some conviction
-
Celtic get in the Shakhtar box, McDonald cross goes behind.
Booking for Brown
-
Our first spell of possession ends in a gk to them. None of our players have shown anything yet. Brown booked
-
Boruc saves. Should have been three.
-
Artmedia take 2 looming large.
-
Shakhtar goal offside. It was not.
-
Don’t know what’s going on. I do know we seem to be capable of leaking goals far too easily.
We’ve got to concentrate tonight or we’ll be going for the usual 3-0 scenario. Dear oh dear.
HH
-
3rd goal ruled offside.
Should have been allowed.
Carved WIDE open yet again.
-
does anybody else feel physically sick? Whats the point of beating teams like ICT 5-0 and then getting turned over like this? SPHell GTF!!
-
off side goal for them - we were very lucky. They strolled through our defense with ease. Way too much backing off them in midfield
-
that was lucky lol
-
I don't know if I can watch anymore...
-
Looked onside. Easy pass though the defence.......should have been three
-
UEFA buffering is a nightmare. almost as bad as the performance so far
-
Shell-shocked
should have been 3. God bless that linesman.
Our 1st break though. Keep the heads up. We can get something outta this, even if it is just pride
-
Think we dnt know we are here yet
-
I'm not sure I've ever seen us so outplayed in Europe, and I'm including all our recent horror shows in that.
great save from Artur again...
-
Paul is always telling us about tactics. Where are they tonight? Midfield all over the place - did we watch this team at all before the match??? ball watching, lack of concentration...basics

-
Maybe get McGeady on as this has not worked.
Best form of defence etc...
-
Stating the obvious but they are a very good team.
-
Celtic looking totally stagestruck, as always away in europe.
Can't seem to make a single bread-and-butter pass, that they could do all day in the SPL.
-
2-0 AC Milan
-
defence is atrocious
naylor is a liability can`t pass , can`t defend and has no positional sense
all of us are murder however
-
AC 2 up on Benfica.
Chelski trail at home to Rosenborg.
-
why is Hartley in this team?
-
I don't think this side are as good as others we have played. We just haven't turned up tonight, particulalry in midfield where we have looked strong in the last few games
-
Shot by McDonald - corner
-
wtf
-
1st shot from McD - better stuff
-
Sometimes I'm glad not to see or hear how we're playing when it gets wobbly; it kind of seems unreal though to see us 2-0 down in next to no time. However if we can steady ourselves we may yet pull one back. Come on Celtic.
HH
-
better play there, if we keep it on the deck and play we are still in it
-
Poor corner by Naka
-
Naka scythed down - booking
-
JVOH should have scored with header from 6 yards.
Better delivery from Naka
-
Naka freekick, JVOH over with header.
Better.
-
good ball by Naka, Big Jan should of scored i feel
-
Good chance by JVOH from Naka free. over the bar
-
Great delivery from Naka and a header from JVoH - could have scored
-
1st spell of possestion in the Shakhtar half.
-
Now we're starting to play - pity we have a mountain to climb
-
Time to show a little faith guys. It's a bad start, nothing more. We have a remarkable group of players with real character at our club as well as a coach who knows what he's doing. Don't write then off yet.
-
C'MON Bhoys - give us a goal before HT
-
Good shot by McDonald from good play - corner
-
Another poor corner from Naka
-
Shot from McD - good save. Corner
-
Good effeort by MacDonald, well saved for corner.
Brandao reminds me of Drogba. Big and awkward but goes down too easily.
-
Shot ny Naka, wide
-
Good shots from McDonald and Naka.
Shaktar sitting back.
-
2 bad corners from Naka - not like him
-
Beginning to play a little. 2 very disappointing corners from Naka tho.
-
This video feed is cr@p.
-
Scott MacDonald our only player so far.
-
From bbc.co.uk/sport:
-----------------------------------
MATCH STATS: AT A GLANCE
POSSESSION
95% Shakhtar Donetsk
5% Celtic
-----------------------------------
-
after 15 mins BTW
-
Great save from the pole in the goal.
-
The Pole in the Goal saves us again.
Poor marking at the back post as all defenders sucked in and cross picks attacker out.
-
GET NAYLOR OFF
HE`S WORSE THAN A MAN DOWN
-
Big Jan, header at goal couldn't get enough power on it.
Signs are encouraging we may score, but we look like conceding also
-
JVoH and McDonald looking lively. If we could just get one....
-
