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.

    Dallas

     

     

    He did indeed, ( still not my cup of tea )

     

     

    Especially in his ill fated second spell where he became more injured than ever.

     

     

    A state the punctuates his career wherever he goes. That’s why he only cost’s circa £1million?

     

     

    This, and his legs being way too short, for his countless step overs during a regular tussle with inevitably more regular sized footballers. (⊙_⊙)

    Good afternoon all. Any team news for today. Celtic on sky 401 now. :-)

  4. Dallas Dallas where the heck is Dallas on

    Just leaving for the under twenties game at EKFC. Leaving early to get parked and under the cover, the rains getting worse.

     

     

    C’mon the hoops in East Kilbride and Dresden and not forgetting the under seventeens playing in the Denis Law tournament in Aberdeen. .

  5. Dallas Dallas where the heck is Dallas on

    Bourne, yes and I can’t disagree with that. He would never play if he felt he was not 100% fit as he felt it would cheat his teammates & fans. Shaun now admits that was the wrong attitude. He should have been one of our greats. Terrific football brain, could use both feet but as you say the stepovers done our heads as well as his injuries.

     

     

    Gordon’s first season was Shaun’s best. Him and Naka were a joy to watch that season. Gordon said Shaun was the most intense player he had dealt with.

    deniabhoy,

     

     

    I read your tragic news a couple of nights ago, tonight on the local news here in Perth, your cousin Edel Mahady was featured as her heartbroken family referred to her as an Irish Tiger Mother, with tributes from work colleagues and neighbours alike. God Bless Edel and pray for her family. RIP

    Just heard an interview with GMac. Sounds like he’s been to Steve McLaren’s elocution school.

  16. Hugh McIlvanney was in Paradise there. Narrating about his favorite team and manager. Gaun yersel, Hugh. What a writer; what a football man. Wish you wrote for a decent paper, as you did in your young days.

    According to google translate

     

     

    The Italian newspaper headlines read

     

     

    “Inter no escape

     

     

    nipped in wings and midfield by the irrepressible vitality of the Scots. the benefits were not enough of a penalty after 6 ‘ the miracles of Sarti

     

     

    Wonderful stuff

     

     

    God bless them all.

  21. McDowellcelt god bless wee oscar on

    No stokes in squad today! Wonder is that the managers way of telling him not to throw toys out of pram again when he is taken off like he did during week against Reykjavik.

     

    No tony watt in squad either. Id be very surprised if tony kicks another ball for us! Looks like his time is up.

  22. Remember we have an important game on Tuesday.

     

     

    Not sure what to make of the Aquino links. Doesn’t really make sense. Also, he looks a really good player and has blistering pace, but he’s not particularly productive.
