Get ready for Brendan’s reign

650
By on CQN BLOG & Comments

There was a spring in the step this morning as we look forward to Celtic taking to the field for the first time under Brendan Rodgers against Slovenians, NK Celje.

While the usual caveats apply – we’re unfit and will look it, the manager doesn’t really know the players yet – it will be interesting to see the formation, and how it contrasts to Ronny’s reign. I would also look out for wee clues as to how we will play, like how the keeper distributes the ball, and where the full backs play.

16 years ago Martin O’Neill took his team to the Netherlands and was well beaten, but he returned to Amsterdam a few weeks later, where he ripped up the form book, so don’t get too stressed by what might happen later.

Once in a lifetime opportunity……

There are rare experiences and then there are extremely rare experiences, but the chance to appear in the Celtic team photo is incredibly rare.

Thanks to Malorbhoy, we have a £5-a-ticket raffle to win the chance to appear in your very own team photo, alongside the Celtic players and management at the preseason photocall for 2016-17.

You will then meet treble winning captain, Tom Boyd, who will give you a personal tour of Celtic Park.

Celtic will provide you with a strip, which you will retain, and you will receive your team photograph, framed and signed by the team, on a specially prepared mount.

This is an incredible experience for any Celtic fan.

Your donations go to Celtic FC Foundation, to support their work in Health, Equality, Learning and Poverty. The Foundation deliver often life-changing support and opportunities to children and adults in Scotland, Ireland, the rest of the UK and in many needy areas of the globe.

Buy your ticket at MyDonate here. You can enter as many times as you like, but only donations of £5 or higher will be entered into the raffle.

Many thanks and good luck!

    IMO, If you get the chance you should always take the first penalty, if not you are playing catch up each time and the pressure increases. I have Portugal in a sweep but I wanted Poland to win.

     

    Sorry for Mr Z & Warsawbhoy.

     

    That is me done for tonight. Good Night & God Bless All.

    Said on Saturday when I saw these two teams that they could put this one straight to penalties.

     

    Didn’t torture myself by watching it, but from the bits I heard on the radio it sounded pretty turgid.

     

    Pity either one of them had to go through.

    Flying to Lisbon for 2 nights next Tuesday, en-route to a holiday in the Azores.

     

    Looks like the craic might be quite good after Portugal’s progress tonight

    Hard to believe there are supposed fans making decisions on players futures after nothing more than a leg stretching run about.Players p;ayed out of position just to give everyone a run out and getting slaughtered.

  34. BigChipsUK - 10 in a row (2001-2010) on

    I watched this and was initially unimpressed.

     

     

    We were treated to “Dribbles”, but with no end product.

     

     

    We were treated to “Passes”, but too few created good scoring chances for his team-mates. I think there were four assists from an awful lot of passes.

     

     

    We were treated to “Shots”, but almost all were fired against blocking defenders, the ‘keeper or the woodwork, which didn’t auger well with the packed SPL defences in mind.

     

     

    But then at just shy of 4 minutes in we got to “Goals”, and I was much more impressed!

     

     

    Here we have a young player brimming with confidence, with speed, skill, quick feet and close control, with a direct attacking style, happy to run firectly at defenders and take them on (ideal against the packed defences in the SPL!), and with acute spatial awareness. The way he adjusts his feet and body to play passes and shots past opponents or wide of the ‘keeper is impressive. If he isn’t brutalised by the SPL defenders he will be a star.

     

     

    Any SPL defender contemplating facing an attacking trio of Roberts, Dembele and Griffiths must be absolutely bricking himself!

    I picked up that vid on an Arsenal fan site.

     

     

    Guy was totally moaning that Wenger had let yet another big striker prospect slip away.

     

    Good to read…………here’s hoping.

    Thanks for that.

     

    Already speeding it`s way round the Sydney faithful.

     

     

    “Brutalised ” ?

     

    Yes.

     

    The need for at least one ” enforcer ” has , I`m sure , not been lost on Brendan.

     

    Broony`s a bit light for the role.imho .
