Beat Hapoel Beer-Sheva for Champions League football

822

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.

  1. Sat down tonight with my mum and really listened to the litany of lies that my dad told her.

     

     

    For over 20 years.

     

     

    My heart bleeds for you.

     

     

    You have more than broken my mums heart and you have destroyed mine for having to listen to my mum weep and cry, whimper and hurt.

     

     

    What a lying, cheating, cunt you are.

     

     

    All of the shit talking, 2 faced, pathetic excuse for a man that you are,

     

     

    And he wants to have a relationship with me the fucking cunt.

     

     

    And he wants to have a relationship with my kids, the fucking cunting cunt.

     

     

    And my kids want to have a relationship with him, how do I explain that?

     

     

    Which hurts more than hearing my mum cry her guts up about the hurt he has put her through.

     

     

    For the first time in nearly 20 years I have heard how my dad has humiliated my mum, repeatedly.

     

     

    So hurting for her just now.

     

     

    So want to HURT for her just now.

     

     

    So incredibly proud that my mum has the strength to stand up.

    HERALD

     

     

    we developed a supporters’ club at the university. We named it after RC Hamilton, a leading Rangers and Scotland player in the late 19th century who graduated as a teacher from the university while still a player. But it was quite hard at first: a lot of fans weren’t going to the games at that time, because of what had happened. A lot of overseas students seemed to know more about Celtic than they did about Rangers. The club’s profile was diminishing day by day. You can see Ibrox from the university’s sixth-floor library. One day, someone – I think he was from Bulgaria – said to me, “What’s that building there?” I told him it was Rangers, and he said, “Who?” I think that was the point when I got together with a few friends and said, “This can’t go on.” So we set up the club to try to raise Rangers’ profile – which it has done, dramatically.

  8. Macjay –

     

     

    Not sure if your earlier comment re Malaysian pilot was for me. If it was, I don’t remember the conversation, which of course, does not mean it didn’t take place.

     

     

    I read about the flight simulation a few days ago. Scary to think about it.

  9. MOUNTBLOW TIM –

     

     

    Good morrow to you too.

     

     

    I also fancy the Ibrox mob to get shafted today.

     

     

    They talk a good game. We’ll soon fun oot.

  10. I think the FOD will win comfortably today.

     

    And I foresee a broken crest report about Celtic in crisis in the Sunday rags as we start Sunday morning languishing at the foot of the league with nil points and it all to do!

     

     

    Having said that I’m often wrong in life!

     

    I hope Hamilton make me wrong today!

  11. My bro. Is here from Canada, he nipped up to the shops for some dbl. cream for his coffee as you do, he was telling me back page of the arse wipe gazett …….15 Hids fans shame Scotland …..he was pissing himself laughing.

  12. Can’t see anything other than a Sevco win today. Hamilton would have been carefully selected for today. Even they don’t have the fire power to test their cannon fodder defence.

  13. Off to Pollock Park. last 4 5Ks there have seen me achieve times of 22’20, 22’17’ 22’07 and 22’02.

     

     

    Today’s the day for Under 22. perhaps.

     

     

    Must run………

    Has any of my fellow horsey types heard anything from Fleagle1888 thus far?

     

     

    Feel a bit of a fraud, as I could never do what he does, but equally, I did enjoy the weekly tips competition.

    With no football today to interest me, I can recommend week-end visitors to Glasgow a European food street market in Wilson St, Candleriggs and surrounding area. Loads to try and I understand it’s here till Sunday.

    Well said.

  26. I read some of the boak enduring stuff in the herald today. Revisionism is alive and well in Scotland. This particularly caught my attention

     

     

    “There was a shallow narrow-mindedness shown by the clubs that voted for demotion but they didn’t look at the bigger picture. This was very much proved when the tax-bill court case was thrown out so there was no need for Rangers to be put into liquidation. I do feel quite bitter about it all.”

     

     

    This pathetic viewpoint has been allowed to prosper whilst actually talking about the cheating and corruption isn’t allowed.

     

     

    And that includes our own board.

     

     

    What a farce Scottish football is. A rigged game for a racist country. Enjoy.
