  1. Ealing — what is the big CFC pub on the Main Street close to the Underground station?

     

     

    Used to get dragged over there for the CL a few years ago when the Cock Tavern was too much of a treck out sat for the West London luvvies who had followed me to the Big Smoke.

  2. Madmitch………

     

     

    The Shanakee (sp) near the Tube but not on the High st.

     

     

    Big Boozer on High st was The North Pole, if memory serves me right…but it’s been a while.

  3. The Cock Tavern…………………..!

    Flanagans in Ealing for games – mainly GAA, but a few Brentford fans in there liked Celts so games on instead of EPL

     

     

    Those Brentford bhoys reckoned Niall McGinn didn’t try his best when there, season 11/12 ?? That’s not how they put it, but it’s a family site…

    Mornington Crescent. Isn’t that Camden?

     

     

    Good victory last night, 1st of many I’ll miss this season due to work.

     

     

    I notice the doom merchants have been on again. It defies my intellect to understand what enjoyment some characters on here derive from watching Celtic.

     

     

    Has to said though that the most negative either never actually attend a game in person or are closet Huns.

  6. Enjoyed game and nice to see an almost full house.

     

     

    Credit to the GB and those in the standing area for creating a great atmosphere to help drive the players on.

     

     

    Some, on the face of it, great individual performances but I will reserve judgement until the team is tested at a higher level. Lincoln Red Imps were not great and if not for a fantastic performance by their goal keeper this would easily have been more like the expected result before this tie started.

     

     

    Still, nice to be in the next round were I worry that defensively we are still frail.

    P.S. Poor Mats Nicol getting sniped at and poor Macjay feeling sorry for his brethren. Awe diddums. Pair of hangy mens genitalia storage utilities.

    Helicopter Thursday will live long in the memory.

     

     

    It is the only place I could guarantee that you will never get salmonella.

     

    Why — because the botulism has killed it.

     

     

    Every beer in there is a real ale.

     

    Even the fizzy lager is alive when it comes out the tap.

    Something for everyone.

  8. Saltires………………Flanagans ( West Ealing)

     

     

    Tiny boozer, as you say more GAA, I watched The Liverpool game in there……

  9. I reckon we’ll miss out on Duffy and Gunter

     

     

    Jerry St. Juste is also only 19.

     

     

    Can’t see anybody else playing in the Astana tie. We will have to make do with what we have.

  10. Trying toget a CH in for next Wednesday seems fraught with danger to me.Just me,but I would pull out the stops to try and get Kolo Toure on loan.Massive experience of European football,and I would think,would have the know how to slip into the back 4 easily.Much more sense to do this and go for the young Dutch CH,who by all accounts could be the next VVD.Not bothered about Sinclair,unless Villa sell for around half what they are asking.Funny money down there.

     

    Astana,for all the scare stories are no world beaters.Struggled to beat,and only just did a team not much better than the Imps,who on another night we might have put 6-7 goals past.The right defender is vitally important.

  11. Happy to be through to the next round, good intensity in the first half. Disappointed not to have scored a couple in the second half. Dembele just needs that goal and he’ll be flying…

    Morning Bhoys does winning last night qualify Celtic for the Europa League at minimum or do we have to win the next tie. H.H.

  13. The Green Man says SACK THE Board on

    Morning Celts

     

     

    Cant say I was to impressed.

     

    Beat a team of part time players, so what.

     

    In fact, that’s still Ronny’s team, so what’s the point of Brendan if he cant improve the squad radically….you know, with signings.

     

    Imo, without better players, I fear we will struggle.

     

    Sorry to be a downer lhads ☹

     

     

    Btw….Mr Pastry, maybe if you weren’t full of s***, you wouldn’t get stick

     

    Stop greetin like a big wean.

    Good question. I think that it gets us into the EL play off round. If we get knocked out at the CL play off round we go straight into the EL group phase (I think).

    Good crowd in Flanagan’s…must have been some roar when Big Bad John whacked it in!

  16. THE GREEN MAN SAYS SACK THE BOARD on 21ST JULY 2016 10:05

     

     

    I do agree we need a couple of players in,but I was just reading that Newcastle have paid around 5 million for Grant Hanley !!!!!!.Would he be better?.

     

    BR has had to look at what he has.He will now know who can leave,but buyers still need to be found.Very few players will sign up now,waiting to see what offers come in before deciding.Duffy,at 2 million is getting lots of attention from the EPL,hence that delay.People were on here in the past few weeks talking up the signing of Joe Allan.A decent player,nothing else,who is going to Stoke for 13 million.

     

    Its all very well saying things,but some people have to live in the real world.

    Inside The SPFL ‏@AgentScotland 2h2 hours ago

     

     

    55,632 fans at Celtic Park last night, incredible turn out for Brendan Rodgers first game.

  18. Embramike

     

     

    We were told on here that the crowd would be 20,000.

     

     

    >55k is an excellent attendance which compares well with any period in our history for this type of game.

  19. HRVATSKI JIM on 21ST JULY 2016 10:28 AM

     

     

    Bear in mind that as a Season Ticket game, non-attenders will also have been counted. It did look pretty busy though. Probably closer to 40-45k actual bodies.

    Was just thinking about that comment.

     

    Not only was it an excellent crowd on a terrible day for traveling fans it was a fully supportive crowd.

     

     

    Though the GB were fantastic in support of the team. I was knackered just watching them from the opposite end. ( thought the rail seats had to be in the seated position for European games though)

     

     

    Also, as we were talking about ZHC yesterday. Certain pubs in the Gallowgate could have done with more staff on before the game. It’s no funny having to buy double rounds all the time :-)

     

     

    Hail, Hail to all. The journey is only beginning.

    That’s reality.

     

     

    We’ve been priced out of Gunter, Robson-Kanu, Duffy and Allen already

     

     

    Villa want silly money for Sinclair

  22. Morning all.

     

     

    Lovely morning too down here. Long may it continue (some chance!).

     

     

    Enjoyed last night. Actually thought Scott Brown and James Forrest played very well, much to my surprise. Great to see us attacking at pace down both flanks. Hope that we do exactly that in the SPFL.

     

     

    Next week looks a very tough assignment. Be great if we can get a result to bring the game back to Celtic Park and we’re still in the tie.

     

     

    Great atmosphere last night. Long may that continue too.

    Well,sometimes you just cant get.

    The problem is that a lot of people on here,who do know how this mental market works,seem to let it all get away from them when Celtic,and the reality of our finances come into it.”Buy”they shout.”Buy who””I dont know,just buy somebody”.

    I seem to remember that jock stein essentially played with Jimmy McGrory”s team. He seemed to make a difference to same group of players. Maybe Rogers can do same with Ronnies team

     

     

    I like to dream…..

    Does anyone know the return date?

     

     

    Nothing on UEFA website yet

  28. Joe Filippis Haircut on

    It is very difficult to buy playerrs in the over inflated English transfer market but there are many other markets throughout the world that Celtic could get better value from .It is a matter of scouting other areas and planning ahead something that appears to be difficult for Celtic why I dont know. H.H.

  29. Morning Timland from a hot hun free mountain valley.

     

    Played some very good stuff for periods last night, just need to get the team performing for 90 mins and we will be rockin.

     

    As for the lack of a CB, I have no idea who is to blame for this, but Ronny needed one, and told the world he needed one for long enough, obviously Brendan needs one and we are going into the CL games seriously light in the dept, it wisny Ronny’s fault and it’s no Brendans fault they weren’t brought in.

     

    All the excuses under the sun will not hide the fact we are desperate for a new CB and we are still pissing in the wind looking for one, even a freebie we can’t sign.

     

    If we don’t qualify due to this…………………..

    Brendan wont improve that squad, until he sells half of them imo
