Ferencvaros rest, regret lingers

313

While Celtic were taking care of business in Dundee, Ferencvaros had the weekend off to prepare for their Champions League qualifying game in Glasgow on Wednesday.  This means the Hungarian champions have played only two competitive games since the end of June, one in the league and last week’s qualifier against Djurgardens.

Rested players are better than tired players, but I would not be happy if Celtic were going into this match having played so few games.  Neil Lennon will have learned things from Saturday’s game that will inform his plans for Ferencvaros.

French clubs have been European champions as often as Scottish clubs.  PSG have two of the most talented and expensive strikers in the world, but they both failed to take the gilt-edged chances that fell their way in Lisbon last night, so France and Scotland stay tied on one win each.

90 minutes pass quickly in knockout football but the pain of regret lingers, just think back to Cluj or Copenhagen.  I would use post-match photos of Neymar to motivate the players ahead of Wednesday.  No one wants to feel like that loser.

    The huns and the knights of the pound table.

     

     

    Turnbull is good business, Duffy would be solid up here as well.

     

     

    Any news on having 4 strikers but still playing 1?

  3. Hello from a hot and humid Northern Kentucky. It’s not the heat that gets you, it’s the stupidity.

     

    COYBIG!

  4. Your ye ould referee,

     

     

    James of the Forrest, in the green with his fetching paige bhoy hair in full flow is met with the Iron curtain of the massed blue ruffian defenders of the keep.

     

     

    Correct decison –

     

     

    Offside and a red card for James for running like a maiden

    Talk of unrest in Louisville today. I’m downtown right now and all is quiet. We were all told to switch back to working from home. I resisted!

  6. Linked with a No nonsense centre half William De Spalding.

  7. We signed Soro Shved and numerous others ,if we sign Turnbull who will he displace Brown Calmac Cristie We have a lot of good players already but a Manager who likes to play his proven eleven , that’s the real cross purpose we face IMO :)

    Agreed re AD performance yesterday.

     

    Attention should be brought to how poorly he officiated the game.

    The medievil meddler, him, and his heated cloisters

  11. Tbh Dallas is just a poor ref, any game is looks lost most of the times, never inspires confidence and looks every inch the bosses son trying to kid on he isn’t out his depth.

     

     

    Add in the biggoted dna and the skys the limit for him in the scottish game unfortunately.

  12. kevinlasvegas If Lenny dropped Brown and we lost there would be uproar also where does that leave Soro ?

    An honest mistake…:)

     

    At least it has brought a bit of humour to this dear green place.

     

    Keep the Faith!

    I’ve taken a chance

     

    And bought a new lance

     

    But definitely not de Castore

     

     

    Lennybhoy…👍🏻

  15. Go tell the Spartim on

    Turnbull will be Thomas Berard Rogics knave and heir apparent to Sir Scott de Donn \0/

     

     

    We need a squad, plenty of players will be injured, in need of a rest etc, so plenty of games for our SQUAD to be utilised

  16. all the news/rumour/ hearsay re Duffy/Turnbull can be got on internet, think we have bloggers doing the same.

    I saw Friar Tuck

     

    He was angry as….anything

     

    His bad habit was from de Castore

    Never mind Gloria Gaynor, this time tomorrow we will all be Diana Ross

    I will tell you where it will leave Soro. With his long blond hair and eyes of blue.
