Gladbach season hits crunch week

Borussia Monchengladbach slipped to exactly mid-table in the Bundesliga on Saturday after giving 10-man Hamburg their second point of the season. On Wednesday we are still going to face a team vastly superior to anyone we will face in domestic football this season, but the visitors will not be as confident travelling to Glasgow as they were when the draw was made back in August.

Like Celtic, Borussia would not have fancied their chances of progressing to the knock out stage after their opening group game, but they now have to concern themselves more with becoming competitive against in Germany. That prospect isn’t about to get any easier, as after Celtic on Wednesday they travel to face Bayern Munich on Saturday.

All of this will feed into how Borussia approach the game. A point would allow them to take their head-to-head competition with Celtic back to Germany with hopes of finishing at least in the Europa League spot.

Celtic were not at their most fluid against Motherwell on Saturday (a significant sign when a 2-0 win can be described in that manner), but Brendan Rodgers will be clear in his game plan for Wednesday – press high, as we did against Manchester City last month.

It’s going to be a night which will require every ounce of strength from a packed Celtic Park. I’ve spoken to several Celtic managers and players about the impact the crowd can have in European nights. If we’re up for it, this one is there for us.

There’s a Family Fanzone at George Square from 13:00 on Wednesday afternoon.  Players will appear at 14:00 with club legends there at 16:00 and activities throughout the afternoon.  With the October break it’s an excellent opportunity to get into town and get into the mood early.

    Your a true Gent and Celtic Mhan, I wish you would stick around but if you don’t keep in touch.

     

    Until we meet again…

     

    Keep the Faith!

     

    Hail Hail!

    A couple of years ago there was a devastating earthquake in Haiti, so many lost their lives, so many more are still suffering today, living in tents, living from day to day struggling to feed their kids, dieing from disease that is cureable with simple anti biotics, but they can’t afford them.

     

    Just after the quake thankfully the Clinton Foundation was on the ball, they organised a whip round to help the poor folks of Haiti, they done good, they raked in between $10-13 Billion, a fair few bob I hear you say, so the good people of Haiti would have been sorted, sadly no, only 6% of this was spent in Haiti, and lo and behold, it was spent in a part of the island where there was NO quake damage, but Hillary’s brother had a business interest there and it was spent with him to distribute at his behest.

     

    A nice wee earner me thinks, but Donald says a few bad words, yet the rapist that is Bill Clinton gets a free ride…..oops I see what I did there.

     

    Some of yous really need to get out a bit more.

    Jeezo, just checked to see if moon is full.

     

     

    We complain that OBAF is based in one person being offended due to personal beliefs and then we see that self-same “i’m offended” attitude about an obvious joke on CQN.

     

     

    The Mods will, quite rightly, act on abusive stuff. But i wish posters would show a bit of rummelgumption and not take offense where none was intended.

    More vino info.

     

    I think I have told the blog about this vino before, can’t recall, so I will again, another Lidl special, they have it in all the time, very, very cheap and incredible value, about 1.80 a bottle, a 2012 Cranza called Mezquirez from the Navarra region, top quality, they may well have it in Britland as it’s got brit writing on it.

    I love your cynicism.

     

     

    When the Donald or Bill`s Hill are impeached , perhaps Mr Pence or Hill`s Tim would do .

    You and I are poles apart politically, but it disny bother me one iota, I actually like the banter, it’s heated at times but it doesn’t get out of hand, thankfully.

     

    The problem the people in the west have is they are fed shit on a daily basis, it takes it’s toll and they actually believe it.

     

    I am as socialist as it gets, yet I find myself advocating a right wing candidate to get elected as president of the US, I never thought I would say that, but for the sake of my kids and my grandkids and their kids the americans really need to think what they are doing, a vote for HRC will spark a war, of that there is not doubt, it’s coming to a head, she is mad, a crazy war mongering lying, thievin, murdering bitch, he is bad but not a patch on her.

    Havent read back yet for 2 days!

     

    Are the deid deid yet?

     

    or are we still el pimpo limpo them along?

    In the USA the hatred of Hilary Clinton is reduced in all its complexity to one fundamental basic belief.

     

    We dont want any f***g* N*****z getting free tax dollars.

     

    Us whites will vote for ANYONE who does this. Even dangerous ignorant arrogant megalomaniac misogynistic cheating lying bullshitting sex offenders.

     

    Therefore we have Trump, representing a party that is nothing other than “not what Obama says” who have no other doctrines other than hate Hilary and the marketing dollar.

     

    In my opinion it will be a close call because he has been marketing the marketing dollar too much and many Americans consider themselves superior and are especially smug when watching TV but in the voting booths bigotry rules.

    ==============================================

     

     

    Exactly the way it should be , mate. At all times we should challenge the way we think , our opinions and particularly what we were taught.

     

    It gets heated , but so what. Good people are passionate about their views . So they should be.

     

     

    ” fed shit “. Absolutely in my opinion. Just one word for Hillary and Bill . A word I`m afraid I have used often. Hypocrites. Billions of bickies gathered in from the home of Misogyny . Saudi Arabia.

     

    And Hillary plays the feminist card.

     

     

    As media darlings , of course , the gross double standard at play is ignored by their mates on C.N.N. and by the biased moderators in the most recent debate.

     

     

    Trump , however , is another story. His unfunded promises are a real concern. The only source of funding he mentions is from Mexico . To pay for the wall. :-)

     

     

    AND , he`s going to cut taxes.

     

     

    Hell in a handbasket , mate.

     

    BUT , forget the trivia.

     

    B.M.G. on Wednesday.

     

    And the huns on Sunday.

     

    WOW.

    Love Gerry , pal.

     

    Saw him live many times.

     

    Perhaps the best live vocalist I have ever seen.

     

    His version of Mc Cartney`s ” Mother Nature`s Son ” was stunning in its simplicity.

     

    Ruglen hotel.Guy. Guitar. Mike.

     

    You could hear a pin drop.

    Thanks for your earlier post.

     

     

    It really is a fantastic achievement by the Trust and the Celtic support in forcing the club’s hand on the Living Wage issue.

     

     

    I’m sure there will be some who will try to find fault in this and criticise either the club or the Trust but it’s a hugely positive step and the reality is that because of this Celtic employees will now be receiving a wage above poverty levels.

     

     

    Next step is accreditation hopefully.

    HT, when you get back from holiday can you give me a bell or drop me an email. I’d like to pledge my voting rights at the upcoming AGM to the Celtic Trust once again as I wont be able to make the AGM.

     

     

    I’m sure may others will be happy to do likewise given the good work you guys have done and continue to do in support of the support of our great club. Great news on the Living Wage, maybe our Cub has a moral compass after all.

     

     

    Keep up the good work and have a good holiday. And, don’t get sunburnt ya wee tadger, especially oan yer tadger:_)
