I was concerned about a trip to Estonia after hearing Hearts struggle in their home leg against Estonian opponents last week, so news that Gibraltar’s Lincoln Red Imps beat Flora Tallinn was welcome, although the concern was tempered as news arrived that Hearts were three goals up in the away leg.
The lesson here is that in July, one more week’s training has a huge impact on performance.
Brendan Rodgers will be happy with how training has progressed thus far, but it’s only when players put multiple 90 minutes under their belts that they are ready for competitive action. There’s not necessarily a great deal of work to do to overcome Red Imps (no offence intended), but qualifiers come thick and fast thereafter. Despite beating Slovenian champions Olimpija Ljubljana yesterday, I expect Celtic will be more motivated for Saturday’s game against Maribor.
It gets serious from now onwards.

Did Gotze come on? Don’t think I’ve seen him…..
How many chances have Germany has this game?
It’s like they are us, playing against Rangers in the 1990s
This one is for Battiston?

Tictaewin
Could have worse and said…….Rangers
Nae Hamilton RC’s then ? :-))
Well done France.
One of the few, if not the only team to play with 2 strikers!
Great game.
Cracking game. Well done France.
Reckon the final will be pretty turgid though. Just hope France win it.
Germany? Six consecutive semi-finals. They must be doing something right!
I fancy Portrugal now, this was the final,for France, how’s that for a predictable cliche? To be honest France look very physically strong and have the form striker, but. Portrugal have Cristiano!
Hopefully it will be a good game and will be decided in 90 minutes.
i wonder how many penalties that Italian referee has awarded in Italian football . Has he ever refereed a Juventus game ?
Hmmmmm
RIP Fr Renato Coronelli.
Shearer just said the best team won ffs did he see the first half.
Thanks everyone.
Most likely be Blantyre as reasonably accessible from motorway.

So that’s numbers 1 and 2 of my pre-tournament 3 preferences, Anyone and But, through to le grand finale on Sunday. Number 3 did me proud too!

NOTE
Exit at Raith can be nightmare just now
Jobo: I was in section 111 a couple of years ago and absolutely loved it. Admittedly, I was knackered after it:-).
Enjoyed the match. Germany seemed to lack conviction and belief after losing both goals, while France visibly displayed more confidence.
Goals change games CSC.
Allez Les Bleus. On est en finale!!!!
Tomorrow evening at 6pm CQN Magazine will publish an update on Resolution 12, and quite an update it is too.
James Forrest, of this parish, will get advance notice, so that he can compose his thoughts and deliver his narrative.
We will have a Res 12 Q&A from 7pm and have arranged for the chap I met earlier in the week to be on here to talk to CQN’ers.
Make no mistake these four guys are absolute heroes. Some of them have had to endure sickening online attacks and threats which is one reason why we have been more in the fore ground in recent times.
Some of you contributed to the recent advertising campaign for Res 12. Thank you for that. As you know I got the money – around £5000, back from The Guardian.
It is our intention to use some of this to find what is coming next. This will be included within the feature tomorrow. There is no need to provide advance warning to those who would see us fail.
When we are done every penny left over goes to Mary’s Meals.
We also have the last 50 tshirts arriving tomorrow and you can get yours if you haven’t done so already from Cqnbookstore.com
Remember
PERSISTENCE BEATS RES12TANCE
Thanks JC2.
Hoping Saturday night won’t be so bad, but appreciate your advice.
Well, over 12 hours in Lisbon Airport now.
Been guaranteed (Ha) 12.30pm flight tomorrow. Now in baggage reclaim for the last half hour waiting on luggage but rather worryingly it has not appeared yet.
If it does we are getting bussed to a hotel on the outskirts.
As Rowley Birkin QC would say, “I may be vewy vewy dwunk”
Seen end of the game on RTE,Liam Brady looked and sounded awful
The Raith. . automotive equivalent of the Bermuda Triangle.
