Shakhtar Karagandy Russian manager, Viktor Kumykov, gave an interview after their elimination of the Albanian champions in the last Champions League qualifier. He talked about his team, which, unlike some in former Soviet countries, does not have an oligarch benefactor or rich sponsor.
Kumykov thought four of his potential opponents were of equal standing, although he clearly respects Celtic’s recent achievements in the Champions League.
He said, “Getting through to the play offs round is historical achievement for the club and for Kazakh football. We hope this is for the start and we would play in Europe regularly. Even if we don’t go to the Champions League, we will play in UEFA Europa League, which means we will be in the elite of the European football.
“We have made it to the group stage of one of the European competitions, which was our main target. It does not mean we can rest now and say we will not fight for more, but our main target is Cup of Kazakhstan. We have never won it before.
“From a football perspective, I think it might be better for us to be in the Europa League than the Champions League. If we go through to the Champions League we will play against much better teams, where we can meet giant clubs. For this we would need to buy few players to strengthen the team. We short of depth and players I have at the moment would not cope with big competitions. I have no experienced players.
“It’s difficult to say who against I want to play. All five teams are better than us. Celtic is different story, they are apart from the others. That team played in the Champions League last season and got through to the knock out round. They beat Barcelona. They beat Spartak Moscow away and at home.
“The Other four are all similar class one to each other but they are all stronger than us. Each of them play at a higher level. The team God gives us will be the team we will play against. It makes no sense to say who we want.”

Done that with sopranos when got out of hospital. Two weeks for complete box set.
Well the tactical genius and shoe in for manager of the year beats plucky Brechin at home.
Only took two ineligible players and a dodgy penalty …

Mini BT off school so couldn’t j ust sit and watch TV that’s how I managed to watch sopranos as mini was at school and Mrs work..
Watched first three of series 5 Breaking Bad, the 5th Series does not dissapoint, a must watch
I was with Virgin and paying £70 a month with NO sky sports, I called them up and they said it was because my broadband was at 60 speed or what ever, I told them cancel it, that was on Thursday, on the same day I called BT they told me I could have the lot for 12 months for £43.95, sounded good, so I told them to give me the weekend to think on it they said fine np, Friday AM a virgin rep. calls me and sais maybe we can work something out as I had been with them for 10 years, I said fine what where you thinking off, they asked me if I was going to go to BT I said I was seriously thinking about it, she sais let me talk to my boss, she goes away for about 45 secs maybe a min. And comes back with the same package and may be a little bit better that BTs, for £47 for the next 12 months, I am not saying that everyone will get that, all I am saying is there are deals out there, oh and they are going to install the new TiVo box for £5, oh and this could be very important, I DID PULL THE OLD PENSIONER CARD, as you do, cause I am one ;).
Not long now until 1888.

Interesting listening to the comments on our CL opponents on shortbread with Jim Spence & a Scottish player based over there in Kazackstan,he says they are a very physical team with a backline and midfield who are nearly all over 6ft plus
They also like to play long high balls into there opponents box a tactic which gets them most of there goals,,which I don’t think that with the departure of kelvin Wilson this is good news for us,i think we may be treating this tie to lightly and which will prove very difficult indeed
TBJ
He’ll never luv big SAMMI like mrsweefra. She adores the ghod like. :))0

DOCTOR WHATFOR
Not a chance. He wisnae good enough for my Kilwinning clique,he certainly isnae good enough for my Swindon clique.
Keeping it exclusive. Inviting nobody. Best way to have a clique-otherwise it’s a bloody club. I don’t get asked to join them very often either!

I was kettled on the Gallowgate. I broke no law. I did not misbehave. I am 42 years old. My club gave me no support.
I would have hoped for support from fellow Celtic supporters like you and not a “LOL!”.

In 2002 .. when I was first in the US .. my mate from IT invited me to his house on the Sunday
I drove 40 miles. .. chapped the door for ages. Eventually phoned his cell phone ( us patter) … he let me in and I followed him down to the basement where his wife and two sons were playing some internet game on separate computers. He invited me to switch on another PC and join in….. no thanks says me.
Surfed the net for toc talk for a while then asked if he wanted me to go get food ( didnt take any square sausage with me)
They said they had beer and cold cuts in the fridge and to help myself
I went home … never went for sunday ” lunch” again
What’s the march that just went by my work for? Or are they just allowed to parade their hate whenever they want?

I hope we are’nt treating the tie too lightly but in my opinion Kelvin, a player I grew to like as he developed, is not a great header of the ball. He is fast on his feet but not strong in the air.
Afternoon Celts fae Greenock, what times the friendly in lieu of a league game on?
