Europe a sideshow to league duty at Fir Park

1000

A Europa League tie against Rennes on Thursday would normally set midweek pulses racing but when Celtic have such a crucial game ahead in the fight for second place Neil Lennon has a major decision to make, does he rest players for the Motherwell game?

Sunday’s game at Fir Park is set to become one of the most important games of the season for Celtic and I’m sure Neil would prefer a clear midweek to prepare for it, but resting players, with the inherent increased chance of defeat, could further damage fragile morale.

Celtic need a confidence boosting win but they need heads focussed on beating Motherwell even more. The consequences of defeat on Thursday are unpleasant, but the consequences of defeat on Sunday are incalculable.

    Estadio,very moving,your line on seeing the floodlights of ole Celtic park,reminds me of the time

  2. Old news by now, but isn’t there something extremely karmic about the Naibalance injury? Here’s a player who seems to specialise in trying to end careers out for nine months through twisting his knee… Even better it happened while they were playing the sheep-botherers at the time…

    Again my opologies to everyone. I like all kinds of music and songs. But let me asure everybody i love Celtic football club and as i have stated songs about famine, religion or any kind of bigotry have no place in football. Just because i like a certain song does not make me a Hun. I will always be a Celtic Supporter through and through. Going forward i will never again make comments with regards to songs politics religion or famine. I will stick to what i beleive in Celtic and football.

    Now that I have had a change of mind (browbeaten) I think that after the rumour of the Lennoxtown groundsmen brawl at the lunchtime kickabout is printed in the press this will galvanise the first team as they think everyone is against them. The first team will go ono an unbeaten run and finish with all four trophies this season. The Hun will go into liquidation and will merge with the edinburgh hun and wi be known as Reekie Club 1690.

     

    Reekie Club 1690 will be relegated at the end of the season

     

    Next season will see the manager appoint Martin O,Neil as club dietician and WGS as head of the bootroom. Celtic will win the treble and will narrowly miss out on winning the champions league after a NI referee blatantly allows an obviously offside Messi goal

     

    DD will enter talks with the same Barca for Messi and is successful in his dealings

     

    Gary Hooper is sold to Real Madrid for 100 mil Euros after scoring every goal for England in their winning of the European Championship. Paddy McCourt plays 90 minutes in every game for Celtic and wins the Golden Boot and is awarded the European player of the year

     

    Neil Lennon is afforded the opportunity to manage The republic on a part time basis while remaining the full time manager of the Bhoys. The Irish FA relocate to stokesys Da,s pub and Anthony is appointed by Neil as the republics captain and states that he will be the man to spearhead the march to winning the next world cup

     

    Kris Commons is seen leaving Neils mansion wearing only a thong while carrying a bucket and mop and polishing materials

     

    Reekie Club 1690 are relegated once again

     

     

    Don’t despair ghuys we are about to turn the corner

     

    The Futures Alright The Future Is Green And White

    I apologize. Bit half cut. Was not having a go or anything like that. Tell any huns that it seems strange that their own lawyers are ALMOST recommending to go the HMRC amnesty route on their own blog although Grant and Thornton stand to make no money from this and they have said so since the 11th May.

     

     

    God bless riley jnr.

  13. Apparently the gorilla got oot at murray park and started scurrilous rumours among the rankers players about the financial state of the midden. A fight broke oot between it and the mankies with wee whitey in the middle trying to restore calm.

     

    The laptop loyal scottish medja in an attempt to deflect from this reported that a fight had broken oot at lennoxtown and no gorillas were present, only celtic players. They’ll stoop to anything. :-))

    Schiedt’s Brasil caps (3) were at the time when Brasilians needed to have International recognition (ie caps)before they were eligible to play in European countries where they would otherwise have work permit issues.

     

     

    It’s alleged that then mananger, Wanderly Luxembourgo and various agents, profited handsomely out of an arrangement where certain players who were obviously not International class were capped so that they could be transfered on with appropriate “benefits” between shared between Luxembourgo and the agents.

     

     

    Big Rafa was a prime example (if not thee prime example) of this practice.

     

     

    No surprise there then is there?
