Anywhere but Warsaw

868

My thought on looking at our potential opponents this morning was ‘Anywhere but Warsaw’.  Our man Zbyszek tells me Legia were awful in the first leg in Warsaw against St Pat’s, where they drew 1-1 courtesy of a late goal, but we’ve been there.  Henrik Larsson & Co. drew 0-0 against St Pat’s at Celtic Park before winning 0-2 in the return leg.  St Patrick’s have a big job ahead if they are to progress.

A trip to Ireland on Champions League qualification duty for the second year running would suit Celtic, especially our Irish-based supporters, but my money is on a more testing trip to Poland; Ronny’s pulse should have quickened on the news.

Zbyszek doesn’t reckon have what it takes to eliminate Celtic. All being equal, that may be the case, but summer football will be unpredictable for both clubs.

I am, of course, being completely disrespectful to KR Reykjavik, who we annihilate next week.

    Would we chance signing another Mexican even if it was just a loan ? H.H.

    Just checked my Virgin account. They’ve charged me £3.99 AS a partial amount pre-billing. So, you’re probably right when you say it’s £7.99 a month!

     

     

    So, after 30 days, I’ll cancel, and pay another £3.99 I presume.

     

     

    £8 to watch the Celts, worth every penny!!

    Why not just get Celtic TV and watch all the games …..for £40 per YEAR, that’s £3 per month …!!!

    It’s feasible that Sammi was on a pay per play deal, but on balance, unlikely, let alone that he was fit, young and of course, ridiculously good looking.

     

     

    Mind that when he didn’t start, he generally came on as a sub, so the pay would likely be the same regardless.

    Cheers – it probably is worth it for a month or two especially if like me you enjoy a bit of GAA as well

  8. Dallas Dallas where the heck is Dallas on

    Bourne, our only Malyasian born ex player certainly caused you a lot of angst.

     

     

    Despite now playing in the second best league called the Championship, he did play very well for Wigan in the Premiership, when fit, under Martinez including the winner v Man who.

  9. 67 heaven…..

     

     

    Can I get it on my TV? I presumed it was only available online.

     

    Plus, I prefer to watch “live”, and not delayed tx. Is that not the case?

  22. I know it’s only a friendly, but, I’ve been quite impressed with this Hearts team. Some good young players coming through there, and looks like they’ll be the team to beat in what’ll obviously be the “2nd best league in the world”

    67h..,

     

    I’m alway polite during negotiations even if I feel its pointless, if negotiations fail then I increase the unworked hours and start charging for them :) but in my game there’s more than one way to skin a cat.

    What’s the best goal you never saw but imagined from the radio? No TV highlights to confirm.

     

     

    Mine would be Willie Mcstay vs Huns around 84. 3-0 game but never saw an TV re-run.

    George McCluskey v. Ajax in Amsterdam early 80s

     

    Dossing in a watchmans hut in Earl Street at Harland Street drinking stewed tea oot of an auld rusty can listening to the game on the radio

     

    When he scored I jumped up and punched the lightbulb and when I came back doon one of my feet went through the rotten floorboards

     

    Still haven’t seen that goal on the telly
