CL hopes, Tom, Mick hustling for his job

169
By on CQN BLOG & Comments

It has been so long since Celtic progressed into the knockout rounds of the Champions League we dare not allow expectations to take root in our heads.  For now, at least, the prospect is a live one.  The result against Lazio at Celtic Park tomorrow night will give us a real insight into where our European prospects lie this season.  For me, anything (within reason) remains possible.

No disrespect to the thrilling events at Fir Park on Saturday, but Brendan Rodgers is here for games like Lazio.  This is where he gets to put his skills as a manager to the test.  If he performs as well as he did at Ibrox last month, we will do well.

Tom Rogic signed off on his football career overnight, announcing he was retiring to Australia, with his wife expecting twins.  He was much liked at Celtic Park among the non-playing staff, always showing respect to others.  His acknowledgement of the managers and directors who helped him through personal challenges reflects his values.  Although he will live on the other side of the world, he will forever be an ambassador of Celtic.

He leaves memories of so many important goals; countless against Newco, the Cup Final winner and that winner at Fir Park, memories to fortify him for the years ahead.

Update on yesterday’s blog.  I wrote that Mick Beale was offered and rejected the Wolves job.  I have since learned he did not make the cut after a poor interview.  Excellent source.  You have to respect the way he hustled his limited background into a £3.5m contract.  Nice one, Mick.

    Evening all.

     

     

    Here is my conundrum

     

    .

     

    Do you play a fully fit player, who is not a natural centre half, Liam Scales. Or do go with an experienced, natural centre half, who has not had a lot of game time, CCV ?

     

     

    Thank feck I’m not Brendan

    I have to say that watching Jude Bellingham walk through the Napoli defence, to score, makes me feel better when he did it so ‘easily’ against Scotland.

    Bain is a big risk, at that level of pressure, although he deserves great credit for Saturday.

     

     

    I think CCV playing is less risky than it may seem – he is better at reading the game, than pace and athleticism and might be worth the risk.

     

     

    The only caveat is that if he has any chance of a recurrence of his injury, then DON’T think about it.

  13. petec on

    I’ve got the Napoli v Madrid game on and it has been a cracking game as you’d expect from these 2 teams. I think there has been an overall resurgence in the Italian teams over the last year or 2. So Lazio, as they have so many good teams in their League will be a formidable test the morra.

  14. DeniaBhoy on

    Watching the TNT goal show. If you get the chance, watch Sporting Braga’s 2nd goal tonight. A perfect training ground corner and a stunning goal.

  18. petec on

    @ TLT if you are looking in.

     

     

    A bit of drama today, I phoned Aidan to tell him I was collecting his ST and wasn’t far away (he has been staying with his Mum since his accident). Then he phones me back to say he can’t find his ST (we are on the HCTS). We are meeting ~ @ 18:00 at the Celtic Ticket Office the morra to get a paper one for the game and a new card sent out, he has his old ST and will take his Passport. He’ll not want to miss the game on the tele, hence the early time.

     

     

    He has had a rough couple of weeks to say the least!!!!

     

     

    I was thinking about meeting @ 19:00 and heading in to the Holy Ground then.

     

     

    I don’t think I have AT’s phone number.

     

     

    I know I have BMCUWP and 16 Roads if you have them but can always check the shipwrecks photos.

  19. DeniaBhoy on

    Galatasaray get a penalty, Utd go down to 10 men but Iscardi misses it then, two mins, later same player scores to put them 3-2 up.

  20. DeniaBhoy on

    Not looking like a great night for the greatest league in the world with Arsenal losing to Lens and Utd losing to Galatasaray. Both games into injury time.

     

    Come on the underdogs!

     

    Celtic can do the same tomorrow 🙏

    I have text BMCUW asking for your number.

     

    If he gets back i will text TLT your number.

    Not so easy to get results in Europe these days even for the mighty EPL teams.

     

    A team’s league position, Lens near the bottom, still able to best Arsenal, near the top. Lazio’s form likewise, may be poor, does not necessarily make them a bad team. That said games like tomorrows are real opportunities for our players and they need to try and take them, lift our confidence once again at the European level. We need to make Glasgow a difficult place to come to, not an atmosphere to be enjoyed. Lets make some noise on the pitch.

    That wee fanny and bigot Davis obviously stage managed his pub visit to endear himself to the Zombies …in case a “ suitable vacancy “ may arise …Loser as a player …hopefully soon to replicate this in “ management “ 🤣

    Thank You Big Chap.

     

     

    When All the obstacles going on Today happen, I really do think a Sensational Celtic Park night is in the offing.

     

     

    Napoli are a cracking team but went up against a better 1.

     

     

    The Champions League is Incredibly unforgiving and it will need Every seat filled and the noise to be deafening to at least unsettle Lazio early doors, IMHO we huvnae done it lately, not the support but the players.

     

     

    Ta Big Man again and if there was an issue I’d be letting TLT use my Ticket. Aidans had an issue before and the TO were good although because of the queues he missed a mega amount of a Euro game.

     

     

    I would not be surprised by a Kyogo 2 goals possobly even 3. But odds are way too short.

     

     

     

     

    There isnae anyway I’m going for that. The CL

    Can’t see us winning tomorrow…I’d love to be wrong but I just don’t think we’re good enough at that level….. please prove me wrong celtic

     

    On another funnier subject….don’t want the huns to get Lampard….not that I think he’s great…just don’t want them to get a high profile appointment and English ( couldn’t get more loyal staunch English than him ) just prefer them to get a no mark
