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.

    Ekuban could see a Green Brigade first- trying out a song for a player based on a Kraftwerk hit

     

     

    ——————–

     

    Kometenmelodie?

  2. Ekuban could not get a game for Leeds because he was being kept out of the team by a certain Roofe? now playing with them! Surely this is nonsense?

  3. On a wee aside,I see the Last Night Of The Proms,will this year,have no one sing Land of Hope and Glory,and Rule Brittania.Only the music will be played.Cue, outrage from the Tory party.Cue ,probably even more outrage from the Bigots across the City,who’s only previous knowledge of any Prom

     

    was falling off the one in Saltcoats pissed drunk.

     

    The odious Torys saying the BBC are denying “Our glorious heritage”.

     

    Oh ur they,Aye.

  4. Ekuban story rubbished by meeja in Turkey.

     

     

    Stand down everyone…call the Green Brigade about that song too :)

  5. BIG WAVY,

     

     

    The only reason I gave the story credence,was that SPORX,the most reliable outlet here have announced it this morning.Seems a bit far fetched to see PL parting with that money.Who knows.
