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.

Guyfawkes, the Q&A is on this thread, a bit of a mishmash I’m afraid.
GUYFAWKESAFOREVERHERO…
The Q&A was under this post early pages.
Page 18 onwards

I think the Res12 bhoys are in it for the long haul so no short answer, the way I see it
The old Huns cheated
The sfa aided
The sfa abeted
The Huns died
The new club are dying
The sfa will still and try and aid them
The sfa will try and abet them
But apart from that it’s France 0 Portugal 0

You have to look back on this blog to Friday evening at around 7.30pm.
Shame about Ronaldo going off.
Game really needed an early France goal.
Portugal well organised.
Surprised Evra hasn’t been getting forward. France lacking width.

I trust Canamalar for no other reason that he is a Partick bhoy like me. I believe you live in the birth place of Saint Patrick. I live a mile along the road. Would love to meet you for a few pints and good chat.
Hail Hail
This type of game would suit Nir
Big Peter L finally opens his wallet in Europe and causes chaos in final!
Ronald goes off after one of the wee buggers sticks the heid on :-)

I think it is earlier on this thread. The celtic blog (James Forrest) also worth a look.
Anybody know what TV channel is showing the CL qualifier on Tuesday, please
Just sack second half and extra time. Switch on around 10 15 for the shoot out.

Need to meet you to discuss my tv provider pal.
Hail Hail
I see the Bale FK against engerlands No1 isn’t on the top goals list – surely beating hart from 30yds must have been spectacular

France before the Iceland qf game had been a second-half team.
Engine has spluttered so far but if it fires up as in past games v Ireland and Germany, only one winner.
the bbc commentators are only interested in clatterbull having a good game
Delaneys, no prob…you going to Leicester game?
2 minutes injury time? Ronaldo at least 4 minutes and a clash of heads just before half time,rips ma knitting

Will the French supporters invade the pitch to protect their players who are under attack from the moths
Bada

Lion
just like the huns from the (hi)bees
Waiting for a moth to clatter into Pepe causing him to collapse in agonising pain and roll from one end of the pitch to the other. Another fanny.
Hello.
Here is today’s second blog. This is about the MSM’s ability to ‘report’ anything no matter how trivial it is…

Yes. Will be at foxes match. See you then.
Gene -punters getting short changed every week,get the 4th official (who is a waste of money btw),to keep the time properly
Pog
you know what they say -when a butterfly flaps its wings it causes a hurricane somewhere- don’t underestimate the wee beggars
Lionsroar – plenty of wingers on the park….just lack direction :-(
The Clumpany, glad your retirement didn’t last:-)
Especially given the need for some entertainment tonight, that game is poor.
Strange sub from France…
France certainly have my favourite named player Umtiti – sounds like an expression of approval.
. . .as he puts Griezmann in for a shot on goal with his first pass!
DD- peachy. See you there!
Who is going to win MOTM? …. Moth of the match.
Started off his career with Brest.

I thought it was Chester titty
