CL millions floating across Glasgow

363

Tonight, we see the conclusion of the first of two ties that don’t involve Celtic but have a significant bearing on our income and domestic competitive stance.  Union Saint-Gilloise take a 2-0 lead to Ibrox, a result that in earlier times brought an 80% success rate.  Without the away goals rule, the advantage is reduced, Union also lost heavily at the weekend.  Newco will be rightfully confident of progress.

Qualification for the Champions League play-off round is worth over £5m in prize and gate money.  Celtic stand to earn an extra £3m if Newco are eliminated at this round or the next; that money would otherwise float across Glasgow to become part of Newco’s European bounty.  More importantly, our casino-football addicted rivals would be denied expensive chips to place before the transfer window closes.  No apologies for watching CL qualification closely this year.

Just a year ago, Celtic were eliminated from the Champions League the second qualification round by Midtjylland.  The transformation between then and now could scarcely be imagined.  A year ago, it was significantly more unlikely for Newco to reach the Europa League final.  We cannot underestimate them, or the significance a Champions League windfall would have.

    Has anyone else noted the advertising hoarding “better never stops”? Is that their acknowledgement of our superiority?

    Its my arse thats in the fire forevermore.

     

    The PLC haven’t mugged me, I listened real good, when MON warned us all that

     

    The Slow Lane is were we were going in future transfer windows, as PL had returned to the club.

     

    The future Tims will look back on you, and 53k others, as the fakes who sing Irish rebel songs, and then fall for every trick in the book, written by a Celtic PLC, controlled by Irish Tory`s.

     

    The board are shafting you, not me.

     

    And you make Tims look like mugs who cover up for dodgy people, especially after PL bottling out of an interview on CH4News, a chance to clarify the PLC position on CBC issues, and PL bottled it, making Celtic look guilty, and asking questions about you, and 53k others who financially condone PL etc?

  7. Petec – I’m not much of a believer any more but the luck they get is supernatural at times. I reckon old beelzebub was one of the signatories of the 5-way agreement.

  8. Muppet’s on bbc Scotland think that Rangers are now through to the Group Stage of CL

  9. serious questions to be asked about those players tonight, any suspicous betting patterns known ?

  10. We often hear the call for Foreign Refs for our games against them.

     

    With our luck we would end up with this trumpet.

  11. Sorry but I have never seen a luckier team than the huns….when does a linesman over rule a yellow card ?!!!……..I can read all I want about how great they are …..all I can see is unbelievable luck..

  12. yeh Sands receiving a second yellow, only to be overturned by a linesman and a hun foul awarded was something you won’t see often .
