Legia looming

847

Celtic have played four games against Polish opposition, losing to Legia Warsaw and Wisla Crakow in 2006 friendlies, drawing thanks to a very late Kenny Dalglish goal against Wislaw, before losing the return game. We’re going to need to break new ground if we’re to reach the Champions League play-off round.

As I predicted, you can ignore the 1-1 draw with St Pat’s last week, Legia are a far better team than that result suggested and it now looks like they have thrown off their summer slumber.

Time to hit form, Celtic.

  1. Dallas Dallas where the heck is Dallas on

    Griffiths through the middle for me. I can see why he is out on the wing but he’s better in a central position.

     

     

    Lasley, in the first leg, must have thought all refs were like the eejits we have here, who are very lenient with him.

     

     

    I do have a sense of joy at him being mainly responsible for his side’s aggregate defeat. Another one who the media catchphrase, good honest pro, is used to describe him. Most of us have a more appropriate name for the likes of him and Hamill, ex of the maroon balloons.

    How did St. J get on?

     

     

    I may be in a minority of one but apart from the karma that befell Lasley, I am sorry that Motherwell are out. We need all Scottish teams to succeed. Motherwell also tweeted their congratulations to us for beating KR.

     

     

    I watched the Dons tonight do well against Groningen. They were terrific in the first half going 2-0 up before losing a goal to a strong header on the stroke of half time. Groningen came out fired up for the second half and Aberdeen managed to hold on mainly due to Barry Robson being introduced in the second half and using his experience and muscle to good effect. Well done Aberdeen!

    While I’m all for the coefficient,I am quite happy for Motherwell to lose out.

     

     

    Especially the way that they did!

    You didn’t see me ? I’m 6’2″ and 17 stone of pure muscle and you didn’t see me ?

  6. I was raging today,

     

     

    My next doors wee boys were paying fitba today and one of the wee shits kicked the ball over my fence and cracked my window.

     

     

    So I went next door and kicked the shit out of him and his 10 year old mates, made me feel better and when Mrs Brno questioned me I said that was an appropriate response to their actions..

     

     

    Fact is in this day and age kids are being killed with hi tech military ordinance , regardless of your views, think about this, we can’t control where we are born, what are theses weans doing that means they deserve to be blown up…

     

     

    And for people who say the Israeli defence shield is saving them , remember the Patriot missiles from gulf war 1 , they don’t work but hey company’s make billions selling them so that’s ok then

     

     

    Can we not all agree that killing kids/ adults/ families in this day and age is so wrong

     

     

    No mater what side you are on I don’t care because I know a bomb doesn’t ask your politics or views before it kills you

     

     

     

    Sadly

    Legia Warsaw

     

    IMHO this will be the toughest team we have faced outside of Group stages in a number of years.

     

    If we play as we did against Elfsborg or Krazaagrandy, we could be in trouble.

     

     

    There are a few reasons to be optimistic and some to worry.

     

    Versus last year’s qualifiers we have added Johansen and VVD . Also Puuki, and Griffiths looks as though they are on the verge of being able to step up.

     

    ( I realise a couple of those guys were signed last year, but contribution was negligible)

     

    The team also looks physically sharper than last year

     

     

    On the downside, we have lost Ledley, who could add vital goals, Sammi and Scott Brown.

     

    I also think we look vulnerable to counter attacks.

     

     

    I think the key to getting through is getting Forrest and Watt fit for the return leg, and possibly getting a game out of Boerrighter.

     

    If we could get to half time in 2nd leg and still be in the tie ( either a draw or a goal down) Tony and Jamesy have both shown the can be game changers at top level.

     

     

    I’ll stick my neck out on 2:1 defeat away, and 2:0 win at home.

    Dallas Dallas where the heck is Dallas

     

     

    Your comment about the support on the motorway on Tuesday being like the Manchester trip was spot on.

  9. iPaddy McCourt on

    Glad Aberdeen and St Johnstone got through. Good to see Scottish teams do well in Europe.

     

     

    Mind you, I used to love watching RFC 1872 – 2012 getting annihilated in these games. A 4-1 pummelling at the Death Star from some Romanian minnow (I can’t even recall their name) a few years back was a particular highlight.

  10. The hour is definitely late.

     

     

    What is Black is now White.

     

     

    The Masonic / Any secret society are playing the people like they are playing a fiddle.

     

     

    Always remember their motto, because they make sure Everyone is in fear.

     

     

    A Creative Destruction that was utilised a while back.

     

     

    ORDER OUT OF CHAOS

     

     

    What is coming, has to happen, God, Jesus when he came into this World to Save mankind, well he wrote the Book.

     

     

    The enemy, if they can just make out the Book to have 1 error in it, well it is indeed all over, despite the finest minds ever, investing everything they can into making the God of the Bible to be a fraud.

     

     

    come on take a bite, ye know ye want to.

  12. i spoke with lasley and mcmanus yesterday morning at glasgow airport.

     

     

    both articulate, professional , and nice persons.

     

     

    i dont get the demonising of a tough opponent.

     

     

    lasley is no hun. and i know this as a fact.

     

     

    he is from tough scouser boxing stock, his dad, and nicer people you couldnt meet,

     

    you just wouldnt want to fight them.

     

     

    i would have liked motherwell to go through, we need all the co-efficient help we can get.

    Or was it Urinea?

     

     

    Huns were pash anyway.

  15. Ray Winstone's Big Disembodied Heid on

    Murderwell are a bunch of phannies, supported by phannies like Tam Cowan.

     

     

    They rely on cluggers like Lasley who get away with murder in Scotland, but are found out easily when they play in a fairly refereed competition.

     

     

    They are an embarrassment to Scotland and shouldn’t be allowed to represent the country in Europe.

  16. Are we still making excuses ahead of potential defeat by legia? Are we all still excited cause we aren’t signing anyone?

     

     

    Do you know what? Is our new manager a patsy or what. Have you ever heard of a new manager who doesn’t sign anyone ahead of incredibly important games?

     

     

    Celtic aspiring to mediocrity again……

  17. Hi weefra

     

     

    Yes he’s is going this year, getting bigger each day, he’s a wee monkey and the sisters are worse :)

     

     

    Will try and get down again soon, he still keeps talking about the wee lambs you had, swears blind they just looked like little dogs :)

     

     

    So sorry to hear about your auld Mam, but man she seemed to have live the great life, bet she’s giving the boys upstairs a hard time :)

     

     

     

    Hope to see you and Mrs weefra soon, take care

    Just.

     

     

    And that hopefully he had learned his lesson.

    How you doing,bud?

     

     

    That you off for the weekend?

  22. garygillespieshamstring on

    As far as wanting other scottish teams to win in Europe, I have three rules :

     

     

    Sevco in any incarnation : never

     

     

    Diets : only if they happen to draw sevco.

     

     

    Motherwell : only if they draw sevco or diets.

     

     

    Otherwise, want the coefficient points.

  23. Dallas Dallas where the heck is Dallas on

    Big Cup Winners, thanks.

     

     

    I couldn’t get to sleep on the bus back up fromManchester, I was beelin about the result and the clowns who came onto the pitch, and it just caught my eye, the stream of never ending rear red lights all the way up the road.

     

     

    I’m such a saddo noticing things like that.

     

     

    Clashcitybhoy, I’m with you on your score predictions for the Legia games. We really need to score in Warsaw and keep a clean sheet at Murrayfield.

     

     

    We were in cruise control on Tuesday but we did leave gaps at the back,better teams will exploit.

     

     

    At one point Efe was our only defender back and Liam Henderson noticed and moved into our half in case Reykjavik broke. That boy has a football brain. I know Reykjavik probably wouldn’t have scored if they got a breakaway but I liked Liam’s reaction when Virgil moved forward.

    Moonhowling underway nice and early tonight then

     

    ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

     

     

    You don’t half know how to make a guy feel welcome.

     

     

    I have so much to say about Israel and the terrible treatment of the Palestinians.

     

     

    I refrain on such a public forum because, well because of people like you, labelling a person.

     

     

    You might not say it directly, a coward IMO, but you mean it.

  25. Prediction: we will beat Legia but be knocked out in next round. Good run in EL….at least quarter finals.

  26. Saint Stivs

     

     

    Well said. Totally agree with what you say about Keith Lasley. He is a dirty bassa on the park,but not a hun or a thug.

    We claimed the term moonhowling for our own a long time ago now.

     

     

    A term of endearment,and a badge of honour.

     

     

    Loud and proud,and no-one can take it away from us.
