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.

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

     

     

    No shit Sherlock.

  2. G’day Celts,

     

    re Lennybhoys post, not all media r evil.

     

     

    Any updates on CFCs attempt to get a supporter presence for the weekend game with Murderwell? Just want to put my name in the hatCSC

     

    HH

  3. corkcelt/rc true but anyone who has read this blog for a long time recognises Lennybhoys posts with credibility and trust :)

  4. Who will Turnball likely displace? Know very little about him.

     

     

    Is he a 10, an 8 or a 6?

  5. “No-one wants to feel like that loser”, exactly how I felt laughing as he cried.

     

    That’s why I still read the articles and that was worth the entrance fee on its own!!

    Linked with a No nonsense centre half William De Spalding.

     

     

    ————————————————

     

     

    I was waiting on someone at least playing a long with a

     

     

    “and of who doth though speak off with your made up tales of a certain William De Spalding”

     

     

    “surely you but jest”

     

     

    it is not I who jest sir, sure the game did kick off at 1230.

     

     

    and i want to know why we dally to have him signed.

     

     

    —————————————–

     

     

    Medieval football was not for the feint hearted. In 1321 William de Spalding petitioned the pope for forgiveness. His sin had been an unfortunate accident.

     

     

    During a game of mob-football, a friend of William’s had charged at him with such force that upon impact, William’s knife had penetrated its sheath and killed the man.

  8. RPM Lennybhoy is a pal and one of the few who does have inside info.

     

    99.9% of fans are getting info off the internet or various blogs, obviously some internet sources are more credible than others.

     

    Click Bait sites to be avoided like the plague.

  9. Anyone else tried to buy the new 3rd strip without the sponsors logo ?

     

    There is an option at the bottom of the page but, surprise surprise, the link is broken 🤔

    Ye olde Village Idiots singing YMCA….Young Minstrel Crusaders Association

     

     

     

    taking this too far now.

  11. duffy and turnball will be decent additions – however we need a spark up front , an exciting dynamic player please

  12. weebobbycollins on

    Lennybhoy…why didn’t you just write ‘medical and save us from this afternoon madness.😷

  13. Hi there is this Lille?

     

     

    Oui. Who is this?

     

     

    It’s Stevie G innit.

     

     

    Who?

     

     

    Slippy.

     

     

    Ah, OK. What do you need?

     

     

    Mind that 16m we made up for giggles?

     

     

    Oui.

     

     

    Will you gie us 10m this week?

     

     

    No, we can’t have you losing two wee Kents this week. Your hordes will chase you out of town.

     

     

    That’s the plan.

  14. Duffy+Turnbull and a replacement for Boli and I reckon we are set for the season ahead, providing we lose no more and please play 2 up top.

  15. It looks according to UEFA that Slovan Bratislava have forfeited their QR1 tie v KI (Faroes) for Covid-19 issues.

     

    As our other 2 possible opponents were Cluj and Slovan Bratislava this means that Young Boys will now play KI from the Faroes on Wednesday in QR2 – while we play Ferencvaros.

     

    Luck of the draw !

  16. Can someone please explain why Naymar is a horrible human being a cheat and twit on the park for sure but so is Naismith.

     

     

    If we don’t sign Duffy so beit but we do have a plan B yes…no😩

  17. Back to Basics - Glass Half Full on

    Coneybhoy @ 2:23pm – Lol.

     

     

    Indeed. Is there anything more pathetic than Z-list non-entities using ANY vehicle to generate publicity in order to perpetuate a career which should never have started in the first place?

     

     

    Don’t talk @ 3:34pm – even bigger Lol

  19. Who said the Germans had no hammer throwers? they certainly had plenty last night , some of the PSG players must be black and blue after last night’s match.

    Keep the Faith!

     

    Hail Hail!

  22. !!BADA BING!!

     

    I hope that Bakker rumour has substance, as he is a first class player.

  23. Semper etc was the motto of an English non league club whose management board I was on – Witney Town FC.

     

     

    After I left to come back to Scotland they sold their town centre ground and moved to the edge of town then rapidly declined and went bust.

  24. Ye ole racehorse named Medieval was just beaten into 2nd place at Bath today , odds of 14-1 a few groats back for my ew bet
