I am sure we will see a full strength Celtic team against Inter Milan tomorrow but that doesn’t mean Celtic will be able to overturn their summer form against what will be the best squad of players they have met since facing the same team in the Dublin Cup almost exactly a year ago. Inter will be formidable opponents.
The experimentation of recent weeks will be set aside as Neil Lennon prepares for next week’s enormously important Champions League qualifying game against HJK Helsinki. In particular, we are likely to see a more familiar looking back four and midfield. What happens up front remains to be seen. Celtic have struggled to get into scoring form preseason; the manager will be keen to resolve this, if possible.
Most of all we need a 90 minutes free of elbows in the face and other injuries as the real stuff is only five days away.

Whit’s that copper urn thingy that the wee person at the front of each country is carrying?

Sure anyone who has dirty hands will be happier but not rest assured.
Once they start assuring other parties. SFA, SPL, UEFA, BDO, Lord Glennie, Hun ST buyers then we can start worrying.

The Zamunda delegation are still in the shower………………..in Bedfordshire……
come on the Bangla
Is McCoist’s ‘outrage’ at the manner in which they are being treated a thinly disguised attempt to prepare the ground for him walking away in mock disgust?
Surely big Joos for la Belgique?
Barbados. Time for bed,…….
Quiz question who will be the team after Benin?

Should’ve got Stuart Hall for this bit. “AND HERE COME THE BELGIANS!!”
In the inimitable words of Admiral Romanov:
Thiz Ally McCoist is an aboriginal disgrace! And Sevco bringing the game into decrepitude! Torpedo them into the Abyss!
If all thoise young atletes were laid end to end……………………

God bless Stan
good evening cqn
Just watched on BBC4 Thin Lizzy great rock band,Phil Lynott what a waste of life, drink and drugs his downfall
Dont understand some of the posts on here. Totally unrealistic to think that Ibrox would be turned into a TESCO and that these guys would just disappear from the face of the earth. Todays deal is not good news for them the SPL have got the media rights, the money from Sky will continue and so will the EBT case. I have no doubt they will be stripped of their tainted Titles. They are in Div 3 with a pish poor team, they will be playing Peterhead when we play Real Madrid. Lets just enjoy the moment and indeed the year. The reality of their position will hit them as the year progresses, in the meantime we have European Competition to play for and an SPL Title to win.

Happy to see you mate, at least you’re not shy goin’ to the bar :-)
Cameroon N’Guemo?

The Madrid bombings were earlier, 11 March 2004. It was a Thursday and a general election was held on the Sunday. Against all the odds, Zapatero won that election, partly, no doubt, because the Partido Popular went along initially with the assumption that the bombs were the work of ETA (in other words, they had no more of a clue than ordinary mortals what was going on).
The London bombings were more than a year later, July 7, 2005, 24 hours after the city was selected to host the 2012 Summer Olympics.
I’m glad you brought this up. It’s soberingly worth remembering that 52 innocent people died as a result of the decision to give the Olympics to London.
and the Olympiad are delighted to welcome
the ‘Crazy Braesy’…………..competing in the combative javelin, the wrasslin’ and the 200m dash…………

No no no, you’re right – thank you. I associate it with Madrid because I remember watching the news re the Olympics, when the stories of apparently unrelated ‘incidents’ came through and remember saying ‘this is just like Madrid’

Worth reflecting for you that Zapatero had, then, to attempt to bring into effect a bunch of electoral promises he never thought he would have to keep.
And look where that led Spain, Lordy goodness.
BBC Radio 4 just mentioned the London attacks for the first time.
Ally McCoist eh? A hero in a Police state,that’s what he amounts to,a myth driven by propaganda with all dirty wee secrets hidden that in the end couldn’t even lose with dignity,a wanker due the rudest of awakenings,we’ll see what the horrific ranks of hunnery think about the wee fat toly when he’s gettin’ rode up n doon division 3,tell yae this much,it’ll never be Neil Lennon.
This is too much for me , too many union jacks kicking about
Comoros?

As you know better than I, this was a UEFA/FIFA matter some long time ago.
They’re not off the hook yet, and they know it.
