look at last season – leicester in pot 1 – never played a champions league tie – and may never again
Gene
Yep, unfortunately i think we are suffering because the big Clubs don’t want to be playing against your BATE Borisovs and Ludogorets of this world.
THETIMREAPER on 20TH AUGUST 2017 8:58 PM
This is a big year for us in Europe, next year we will lose the 12/13 coefficient points which means we are in real danger of not being seeded in the Final Qualifier next season. Factor in the additional 4th qualifier and the Turkish/Swiss/Dutch teams coming into the mix and things start to look difficult. The Champions League qualifying scenario starting next season will be in place until at least 2024.
As far as I was aware,the Champions path was staying put.Anyway,thank you for your very helpful post,which will probably destroy my sleep tonight
Sleepy Smiley.
Jerry Lewis RIP
TurkeyBhoy has now officially left,not the building,soberiety.
Goodnight all.
Turkeybhoy
Just worry about Tuesday – that’ll keep you awake
TURKEYBHOY-so your arse fell off in the final?not like you mouth:-))fairhill is a wee place where I grew up loving Celtic,we had a wee jack Russel,called lucky:-))
TURKEYBHOY on 20TH AUGUST 2017 9:06 PM
The Champions path will remain in place. You can still be seeded within that i think. And there may be an issue with the final qualifier but I’m not 100% on that.
Turkeybhoy-you probably have a thing against jacks:-))anything for an argument
I’m sure Brendan is aware of the coefficient points situation. Regardless, he will select the strongest team available and look to win the game on Tuesday. There is also the small matter of a 9 month unbeaten run in all comps.
I think we will not only get through on Tuesday, I think we will win the game. Quite possibly without conceding.
You read it here first.

Do we gain more co-efficient points from an away win on Tuesday or just from qualifying?
I understand we have 2 points for getting to this stage, and another 2 for qualifying, then it’s about wins in the group

Bedtime,not long till Tuesday:-))

Do the qualifying bookings not get wiped out for the Groups?Would seem grossly unfair if they were not.Surely they do?.
GARY67 on 20TH AUGUST 2017 8:57 PM
If a player has one or two bookings they are wiped for group stages but if a player gets a third booking this week they miss the first group stage game.
According to UEFA regs they are all wiped after play-offs …
49.04 Exceptionally, all yellow cards and pending yellow-card suspensions expire on completion of the play-offs. They are not carried forward to the group stage. In addition, all yellow cards expire on completion of the quarter-finals. They are not carried forward to the semi-finals.

The answer to your equation is Celtic.The answer us always Celtic.
KEEP THE FAITH
We flew out to Astana today. I didn’t see any photos or media interviews at the Airport. Can only assume Brendan got his wish and it was straight to the plane.
Cloghercelt: not sure if you are aware of it but Fleadh Cheoil na hÉireann will be in Droichead Átha next year. Currently live on TG4 from Ennis.
TTR
On a corporate 767 so plenty room for the bhoys.
YORKBHOY on 20TH AUGUST 2017 9:04 PM
Do we gain more co-efficient points from an away win on Tuesday or just from qualifying?
The 3rd and 4th qualifying round of the Champions League are not rewarded with points because losing teams qualify for the next stage in the Europa League so current 2 points becomes 4 its if we reach group stages.
Tonyrome
the answer is actually 310 – but Celtic is close enough A*
must go
THETIMREAPER
Celtic tightened security around their stars at Glasgow Airport this afternoon as they jetted out to Kazakhstan for the second leg of their Champions League play off against Astana.
The Hoops checked in ‘airside’ – part of the airport beyond passport and customs control – three weeks after an incident at the same hub which saw Leigh Griffiths abused by a holidaymaker.
VP- not before time.
In the opening credits for bbc’s Sportscene there is a quick shot of Pedro going crazy on the touchline…and I was wondering if it was when the huns won the toss against Aberdeen…anyone confirm that?
WBC
I fear for Pedro. Hope he has friends in the Me
Mexican cartel.

Brendan and the players got abuse walking through the bars too. It was not just the Griff incident that day.
In the current climate of everyone being ‘connected’, does everyone remember their first mobile phone?
I was against them.
Only got one in late 2001 as i was working in Edinburgh on the building of the Scottish Parliament. The wife was due in Feb 2002 so thought it would be handy.
It was the old flip up number with an antenna. Shite it was.
However, the reason for bringing up the subject was a memory from the 80’s.
I worked on Park Terrace for an architectural company and there was a bar in the basement next door. Originally an hotel, latterly a Youth Hostel.
Met The Pogues in there one Friday lunchtime and the place was chock full of Yuppies. Shane and Spider were hitting the bar hard and were getting a bit of attention.
This prompted one Yuppie MOFO to state to his pal – ” I don’t know who they are but must be some pop chappies!”
Spoke to Shane who kindly gave me an autograph for ny sister – which she still has- but he was pissed already at that hour.
Anyhoos, same place, this bellend Yuppie pulls his bag out and produces ‘the brick’. Nearly a foot long and weighing a couple of pounds.
Everyone gathers round while he explains that he has his own number. Positively preening he rhymes off his phone number.
“You could call me from Africa..” He gushes.
Bold boy has written his number down and heads for the payphone at back of bar.
A minute later his phone rings and with a flourish raises it to his ear.
“Hello Gerald here!,”
‘Gerald ya fanny, get it right round ye!”
Says me
He hung up.
I therefore lay claim to the first abusive mobile phone call in history.

“The wife was due in Feb 2002”
Mail order bride?

I would be willing to wager that I would be the only poster on here who doesn’t have a mobile phone :-)

Belter! :))
I am sure your language towards Gerald was stronger.
