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.

What is it about the name Ronaldo and suffering misfortune in a major Final in Paris?
Top Scottish Sportsman- Kathleen Grainger
Oh, he’s back
Pity for the final if he goes off injured but second best player in the world back on.
Game on Tuesday on eir Sport 2 formerly Setanta 1.

I can’t believe Portugal didn’t get a free-kick for the foul on Ronaldo.
What I can believe is that the commentators had absolutely nothing to say about such a ridiculous decision. After all, the referee is English and the idea that he could get a decision so badly wrong is inconceivable is their eyes.
More grotesque theatrical nonsense from whom other.
Nah, he’s off.

On the Monday morning after this I switched on my computer and brought up a C prompt and typed these lines in. I called the ardent Rangers fan from IT and said that I was getting a strange message when I started my computer and would he come round and to check it out.
One of the few joyful moments around that time.
Ronaldo defo off this time.
As much as I think he’s a fanny that is a damn shame :-(
He was off the first time. That was his ego that came back on for the encore.

Good stuff…..although I can hardly work a computer these days never mind back then
Pity about Ronaldo…don’t think it was even a foul on him.

Nice one! :-)))

7-1
Ach, who spoiled that?
I remember Butcher’s o.g. I had a great view of it from my regular spot in the Hayshed.
Bollocks! If Quaresma scores a hat trick do I win by proxy?
I’ll post it again on October 19th
Met an auld pal today, a Dumbarton Tim copper. Told me that on the hun visits to the Rock on their journey, there was carnage. Similar stories from other small towns they visited. Same old.
Who are the moths supporting?
Remember in the jungle, people used to lean their hand on your shoulder when it was packed.
At first it was ok, you we so absorbed with the game -it was heaving anyway- but how annoying and downright painful after about 70 mins!

Euros to be Mothballed!
Slipping to 0-0 – extra and pens
MOTHerwell.
Tictaewin, u got it, how sad am I?
France seem to have lost the momentum, more affected by Ronaldo going off than Portugal.
Shot to nothing, hardly ever get a response to a post.
For me tonight, late to the party as usual, the Res12 Update has no comments attached to it. I haven’t easily seen a headline on CQN that will let me read the Q&A that was mentioned last week.
I’d appreciate anyone’s assistance to let me catch up. Couldn’t care less about tonight’s game.
Will France get any help from the attention seekin ref tonight? This laddie Pogba, £100 million?
Listening to the BBC see and I think Danny Murphy is a dead ringer ( vocal style) for Big Ron Atkinson .
By the way the game is shite….
Disappointing first half -Portugal playing for pens?
Kind Hearts and Coronets is on Gold…………………
