Celtic will face Israelis Hapoel Beer-Sheva in the Champions League playoff round later this month, with the first leg due to take place at Celtic Park.
Hapoel, carrying a Uefa coefficient of 4, eliminated Olympiakos, coefficient: 70, in the last round – a bigger shock than Dundalk’s win over BATE. They put on two backs-to-the-wall performances, drawing the first leg in Greece 0-0 before winning the return 1-0. In the earlier round they shot the Sheriff Tiraspol from Moldova, winning 3-2 in Israel before securing another 0-0 away.
The positives: the Israeli league hasn’t started yet, so Hapoel will be no further into their season’s preparations than Celtic. It also looks like the play on grass.
In recent seasons Celtic have found new and innovative ways to bow out at this stage but we know what’s required and will be strong favourites to progress.
Bring it on.

The huddle you just don’t want to read do you.
It’s funny how paul67 waxed lyrical about moneyball and the boards strategy. Perhaps he was making it up?
——–
We are getting there, you don’t know what it means?
You read P67 mention it, then for years you ran with it. Not once have you thought to think what moneyball is.
It’s not even that tough, I posted the link above. Moneyball is a great theory, just not what Celtic has followed.

History of UEFA is a dark one.
You know what its about…so do i.
Switzerland is a very peculiar place…No?

Auld tam. My remaining point is that ahead of cl qualifiers we haven’t shown ambition again. Ayer was signed a while ago. Dumbelle is a good signing. Tourre is not (haven’t we been here before). We haven’t signed Sinclair yet.
It’s a pathetic effort yet again.
We have been here year after year after year.
And you are happy because?

You’ve been consistent throughout.
It’s a disgrace Celtic has failed to object to the insult to everyone’s intelligence that is the same club myth.
Some, who were talking about self -respect and the same insult around 2012-13, now have season tickets.
Their shout, but I stood in the Jungle many years ago, singing “In the war against Rangers, in the fight for the cup”
Well, we won the war, and I’ve no intention of being part of this new phoney one.
Hail! Hail!

The Olympic Asterisk years.
Neganon –
Ajer (not Ayer) joined on the first day of pre-season training.
Toure (not Tourre) is a bad signing after 30 minutes of action, according to you.
Sinclair has signed.
But in any case, your daily question is, have we signed anyone yet – thought not.
We have 4 new players. So far. Regardless of your opinion of them.
Horrible that isn’t it?
Auld Tam
Aye…but who else are we signing:)
Is that it?

The huddle. You are boring me absolutely ridged. Celtic gave run a shit version of moneyball which has screwed us up. I really really don’t care what you think or say.
I am so bored with it all I am almost catatonic.
To go back to my cheating girlfriend analogy. The grieving process for me is drawing to its end. Acceptance and indifference abound. And it’s becoming liberating. And I see how close some are to just Hunnish.
I guess you become what you hate right enough.
Bless
The Green Man –
I’m sure there will be at least 2 more signings. The window has 4 weeks left. Who says that’s it? I didn’t.
Neganon,
We wrestle not against Flesh and Blood dude.
If the Queen is scared of the Dark Forces, we all should factor these things into thinking. The Middle East thang, lol, divisive as anything. Welcome the Israeli team with open arms.
Your Passion is Celtic. Go read Ephesians my man, for olde petec’s sake.
The Olympic opening ceremony is just weird.
Neganon –
Freudian slip?
You’re not getting any.
Now we know.
Auld tam my spelling is awful. So it stands to reason my points must be.
Me? I blame apple for autocorrect.

Ah celtic40me. Isn’t it crap that I can’t remain a daft cuddly idiot.
Not really, I couldn’t really give a monkeys one way or the other.
Be nice. See yas in t’morn…..

Hows it going bud.
Hope you are well.

Not that early Techno
Midweek I was sure the Thunder was right above the house in Dumbarton.
The Green Man –
We weren’t signing Sinclair until we got past Astana.

Ah auld tam I love all this stuff. I am not getting any. That’s brilliant.
There was a time around 30 years ago when that sort of accusation may have hurt. All those wee daft bullies like you trying to bully.
I am doing ok tam (Jesus better than I ever imagined when guys like you were trying to belittle me in my youth),.
But the fact that as auld tam you still are the bully of your youth says more about you than I ever could. A base stupid bully still trying to intimidate his way to be proven right.
You proud of yourself tonight Tam? Can you puff your chest out and show what a big man you are?

I need to get my Bro’s time thing about running. it’s an app thing. He takes geat Delight in Smashing records all over the place.
He is incredible.
A Swiss Barclays Banker nooo.
Hapoel.CSC
Auld Tam
Yeah, thats seems to be the way.
However, we do have some good players and loads of youth talent.
I reckon a few experienced European players to add some steel….and we might be in with a shout of improving dramatically.
Hope so anyway.

Daily Express story about Scott Sinclair, Celtic to sign Chelsea and Man City flop.
Ah well , at least they are consitent in their negative headlines about us like most Scottish media.
As I have said a few times before, the unwritten rule, particulary in the press , is bad stories about us, good stories about anIbrox club, sells more.
I can understand the economics of this but there can be no doubt , various editors, sub editors and ‘ journalists’ hide behind this unwritten rule.
geat great
apologies.

Id never know about the Express until you posted it on here
Jobo, hopefully you beat your personal best at your Park Run and sets up a great weekend for you.
It would be nice if any of the Accies players do an Adrian Sprott tomorrow.
The Huddle , thank you for that observation.
It was a hint :O)
The Green Man,
I’m good m8ty.
I have hopefully lanced a boil that was making my working Life unbearable. We shall see.
My Door is never Shut.
TGM,
How are you?
