What’s your hopes for tonight? Primarily I’m hoping to see Celtic play the kind of football we watched on Saturday, a fast, pass and move, game. I want to see Scott Sinclair and Tom Rogic take players on, for Leigh or Moussa to exploit space often denied to them in league games.
I’d also like to see four at the back. Defending in a formation we’re familiar with, even if it takes place 60 yards deeper than usual. This is where we got it wrong at Camp Nou. This Champions League group pits us against some of the greatest attacking footballers money can buy. It’s not a place for fundamental experimentation.
I suspect we’ll see the best Celtic goalkeeping performance of the season tonight. Craig Gordon will have lots to do, concentration will not have an opportunity to drop, decisions are likely to be more clear-cut that he’s been used to.
This is a big game for Kolo Toure. He’s a player who has little to prove to anyone, but that’s different when facing an English TV audience a few months after ending his 14 year term in the country. His performance tonight, and that of Celtic, will reflect on his decision to come to Celtic. Paul Lambert’s best game for Celtic came against Stuttgart in 2003. He also had a huge reputation in Germany, and an audience he wanted to convince he’d made the right move in coming to Celtic. Let’s hope for a similar outcome.
Enjoy the game.
Many thanks for the incredible support for my Great Scottish Run coming up on Sunday, to assist the work of the Foundation. The linked MyDonate account was at £1690 yesterday is right now is £10 off the £2k mark.
We have some special people among us.

Auldheid—are you in Belamadena? Someone posted a while ago that you had moved north of Malaga.I get to Carvahal about 2/3 time a year.Going there 15th of October for 6 days.Might get a match and a pint somewhere.
Let’s do this. For ourselves. For our families. For Tommy Burns. For Jock Stein, and all of our dearly departed. For the little guys everywhere. For everyone that dizny cheat. For the mole of Hampton Court.
Good luck to everyone going tonight, you have a part to play.

Correct. Tonight may be an occasion to remember,it might be one to forget,but…

When I said “us” I was thinking of the blog or support in general terms not as in every person.
Of course individuas will give their own individual meaning to the event. That’s what individuals do.
Take care with travel tonight Bhoys and ghirls as the weather report for Scotland is not pretty. The expected high winds may play havoc with travel ?
Let’s hope the famous Glasgow Celtic play havoc with Man City tonight ?

Thank you for your support!
Looking forward to a beer with you on Saturday.
(Only if BMCUWP is payin’ right enough!)
The gulf monetary wise between English teams and us has never been wider.
Manchester City boast a team that cost £400m.
World stars play for them.
They have a world renowned manager.
What is it about European nights in Paradise , that magical arena that makes me think a special night in prospect?

Your donate page is not playing ball!
I could make a donation on Saturday if you are there.
Thanks Leftclicktic
So not open then

I’m pretty sure it’s 11 men against 11 men in competition for one ball and placing it in the pokey.
Cost of 11 men over another particular 11 men does not always mean victory for the expensive 11.
See Pittodrie on Sunday past as a example.

No Kerrydale suite tonight. UEFA own the stadium on a CL night they make ALL the stadium decisions por cierto.
…….should have known better…..:))

Sagna, clichy, Toure and big Vincent Klub have all played in/at paradise on a cl night.

Hi guys I have a spare ticket for tonight section 116.

It Pays To Complain
Re: Supermarket Parking Ticket £85
Bhoys, spoke with the store manager who agreed to have the ticket cancelled. Big weight off my mind, wasn’t really comfortable with the plan to simply ignore it, and all subsequent threats of court action etc. So, something to consider if you ever get one of these nasties through the post.
HH.
And I’d take a draw off you right now thanks very much. Hopefully we don’t concede early, it will kill the atmosphere.
“That’s no’ fair. Toure isnae in the CL squad and Kompany isnae in the game squad.”
Vfr,
Lol. :) I kinda said all that in my question at 1040 ish.
Anyways, good wee puzzler to waste some time today. Is it finishing time yet? :)
HH
Hope Brendan sends the team out to have a right go . No one expects s us to get anything anyway
So we have nothing to lose. If celtic can produce the football they have the past few weeks , we will do fine . The Germans lost heavily to city , ,but they made a good few chances . And to be honest city ain’t Barca , as will be seen in a few weeks time .
and David said to Goliath.. “see you, you big very bad giant, kop this”
and the giant did
and David got his balls booted like big time
But David, with very sore balls in sack, he got up again
and said again to Goliath…
“see you, you big very bad giant, kop this”
and we all lived happily ever after.
The score is irrelevant.
It is the farce that begs the scrutiny….
Whores rules. Whores rules.

Sinclair (almost guaranteed to start and a shoe in to be our penalty taker) is 18’s with a couple of bookmakers for first goal.
Hmmmmm csc

The Champions League is an insult to the intelligence and I wouldn’t watch it if it was being played in my front garden,it’s such a pity that Celtic have to play along with the farce just to stay healthy and interesting in the modern game.
Good luck Celtic,we’ll need it.
On a late running train from England watching all the best laid plans of food & wine with pals before the game starting to evaporate.
Will still make ko. Hoping to see a performance that makes us proud, irrespective of the score.

Ticket from earlier has now gone ?
