We always think of ourselves as on the side of the underdog. Tomorrow, we are the protagonist against the world’s underdog. It does not matter that Shakhtar Donetsk are seeded higher than us, or recorded the kind of win in Germany last week that no Celtic team has ever been able to dream of, the world wants them to win.
Thousands of Ukrainian war refugees will pack into the Municipal Stadium, Warsaw, to express their strong nationhood and support Shakhtar. It will be an incredibly emotional night for all of them.
The first thing Ange Postecoglou and his players must do is consign all of that to the bin. They need to find similar oceans of resources available to their opponents. If we are not suitably aggressive against a formidable team, we will lose and face an uphill challenge to remain in Europe after the group stage. Draw, and progress to the Champions League knockout stages remains open.
What happens on the park will be determined by what happens in the minds of the Celtic players. To match Shakhtar, we must be compassionless, clinical and unforgiving. Sentiment and comradeship can wait until fulltime.

What can a team from a peripheral league achieve in a global capitalist economy?

A draw is the minimum for tomorrow. For all the emotion on display tomorrow night, they’ve sold their best players and have played very little competitive football for the last 6 months.
This is a test for us, no doubt. If we’re coming home Wednesday night with no points and three goals conceded, questions will be asked. The honeymoon period in Europe is coming to an end. We need to start stepping up.
A man has been charged by Police Scotland for having eggs near the Queer Dean’s coffin.
Apparently they were classed as ” potential projectiles “.
I fancy an omelette for lunch but have run out of potential projectiles.
Oh dear.
We’re not good enough for a European gimme despite how they look on paper.
A win there will be hard-fought and momentous.
I hope we do ourselves proud and get that win.
3-1 to the good guys

Shaktar versus Celtic live from the Kerrydale

Ain’t no such thing as a free pie CSC
It will be hard tomorrow night right enough Paul.
The same task awaits us as it did when Scotland faced the Ukraine.
Get intae them Celtic.

Just looked in and saw that a certain poster is hoping that Ange will fail. Am I surprised? No. His whole narrative on Celtic is based on Celtic not prospering. Starve the Club of money, close Celtic Park, empty Hampden etc etc. But, they are entitled to their opinion.
Anyway, I will leave you with something that actually might be the basis of a Celtic chat.
What was this notorious incident?

I think there was a bigger gulf in class btween Scotland and Ukraine than between Celtic and Shaktar .
Although , being an away game with mainly Shaktar supporters, and with all the feelings around the Russian invasion ,it will be a difficult but do-able game .

Anyone know what capacity is for Bernabeu when we visit

Could you post a link to that please?
Because I don’t recall reading, or posting, any such thing.
Maybe you should have a word with whoever prescribes your anti hallucinatory medication. See if they can adjust the dosage for you.

As an “arm chair” Celtic supporter, let me tell you, in today’s world of infinite technology a “TV” is not essential.
In fact I’ll go further and say Celtic were invented before Television and that anyone who has a TV in this day and age really needs to take a serious look at themselves and ask why. !?

Brilliant! I am going to have a squad as big as Ange soon, and I can only pick 6 players for my Celtic Quiz Team – I will take the role of Ange’s and we can call it Quizball.
On a more serious note – imagine actually wanting Ange to fail.
Oh dear – he’s after me. I should have added, ‘Without prejudice’ to that post.

In the photo the referee is clearly pointing to the spot for a penalty?
He changed his mind and gave offside. Celtic lost 1-0
Surprise Surprise CSC
I don’t have BT Sport and it looks like Hesgoal have walked away.
Anyone know of a site that can get the game tomorrow without loads of porn ads or getting blocked by the PC?
I struggled on my Surface recently to even get Hesgoal (iPad had no issue) so i expect it will be ipad again.
I could go to the pub (James Connolly in Dublin centre is now the CSC) but i am desperately trying to avoid that as we have an inter-company 7 a side tournament on Fri and I want to have some basic level of energy!!

Yep – Ref awarded a penalty and then changed to offside as linesman flagged !!!
However we actually won the game 1-0 – Joe Craig😀

Minimum for a Celtic penalty v ‘them’ is two broken legs .
That incident gave rise to the well known saying

There are still things on terrestrial TV in Oz that are watchable. A nice big TV gives good resolution for watching live games over small device screens. The projector still kinda blurry. All content is selectable and streamable too, to your point.
Momento Mori – what episode of Gomorra was that in?? HH

Thanks for posting the video. That was a great watch and the Real Madrid fan was an absolute star. What a great personality. Great to see the two sets of fans shaking hands and swapping scarves at the end and the Celtic chant from the Madrid fans. It’s obvious that they are as fanatical as us in their devotion to their team even though they’ve won the trophy 14 times.
