Half the battle when it comes to PR is not to score an own goal, which Neil Lennon managed to do in his pre-match press conference today when asked about the local ‘tradition’ of ritualistic animal slaughter before the game. “You have to respect the traditions in Kazakhstan, they have a different culture. We have our traditions.
“Our scouts watched Shakhter’s game against Astana on Friday. We know the played a weakened team.
“We arrived early to adapt to the weather condition. The journey went well.
“Tomorrow we play against a strong team. It’s important to get a good result in the first game to increase our chances of reaching the Champions League group stage.”
Really looking forward to this one now.

Tha ks for info desert bhoy.
Passed on. Only just arrived so limited funds, she will make her way to the club soon enough though..
twists n turns (God bless our little hero Oscar) @ 07:12
I, like desertbhoy have 6 years on you and you’ve captured perfectly my own feelings – it’s must be an age thing.
Great post.
Hopefully, Celtic can do it tonight. Also, after some of the views expressed on Newcastle fan sites I was glad they were thrashed last night, petty I know but LOL.
Twists n turns…..
Great post, very good comments indeed, makes you proud to be a Celt.
3-1 to the Celts today, Hail Hail
Morning all from a cool slightly cloudy but blue skied Chilterns…
Good luck to Lenny and the Bhoys the team selection will be interesting.
In Lenny we trust!
Hail Hail

Charity Theft, Match Fixing, Tax Avoidance and relying on a corrupt SFA to avoid punishments.

Good luck to our Bhoys today,expecting a very tough game where i think we will need to score, 0-0 or 1-0 against us could be very shaky for the return game.
It is looking more and more like there will be no new faces at the club, money money money that’s Celtic plc for you.
James Forrest is a rising star, a quality player who needs more game time, Celtic plc will be rubbing their hands when the 10m bids start coming in next season.
KTF hoping for 1-1 tonight.
Hail Hail and a good night from the west coast USA.
Great night out with friends and one microbrew too many. Not to worry, took Tuesday off for the game tomorrow. Will be watching he game with two nutter Hammers fans, who are rapidly developing a thing for all things Celtic. Amazing what educating Londoners about Scottish football can do. As one now says frequently: “Armageddon innit?”

Fantastic post.
I think the difference between the differing views is to a greater or lesser extent generational. As we get older we are less rebellious and acquire a more develped emotional intelligence. (generalisation i accept)
This allows dissention whilst according respect and consideration of the oposing view point.
Enjoy your day sir and the game later.
commons people.. just dont sing bobby moore out loud!!
Boys Barcabhoy tweeted this and this user @FrPaulStone replied brilliantly and you could see his replies below.
This will be the last tweet today about the cheats and thieves because today it’s all about the mighty Glasgow Celtic.
Barcabhoy.
We of course couldn’t have Scots involved in anything so distasteful. That’s only for Johnny Foreigner. Isn’t it ?

1. A suspected Financial backer (Rizvi) on an Interpol most wanted list.
2. A racist majority shareholder, proven links to Craig Whyte through 5088, a convicted VAT fraudster potentially being the largest shareholder.
3. A “saviour” who has his fortune frozen by the South African tax authorities due to alleged tax evasion.
4. A charity foundation who steal funds in “good faith”…all spawned from the original club who stiffed hundreds of creditors for millions, the UK VAT & tax authorities for millions, their own debenture holders and their own shareholders… all whilst enabled and ennobled by the SFA. Plus ca change….
TnT Enjoyed your post and agreed with all of it. We are the same age and as others have said maybe it is an age thing.
The Boys of the Getting Old Brigade indeed.
Sammi and Kris to score tonight 2-0 to the Bhoys.

I’m sure PF will be delighted to be placed in a similar age bracket to yourself.

It’s a big bracket:-)
All encompassing bracket?

Breaking News: Sevco have confirmed Ian Black will lead investigation into Ian Black’s betting scandal.
Morning all.
Very much looking forward to the game tonight. A leap into the unknown in many respects, but I’m sure the coaching staff have done their homework, and the players have had the chance to prepare for what is a VERY important game.
Feel relatively confident that we will not lose – going for 2-1 or 2-0 to the Hoops.
Would be happy with that. However, I would be happier if we had signed a goalscorer!
For all Italian based Tims the match is being screened live on Sky Sports 1. …but you probably knew that!

The opening line is classic….thee ould whataboutery!
GAMBLING probe Rangers star Ian Black is just one of many Scots footballers who break strict rules by betting on games, an insider claimed last night.
Last night a source said: “He likes a flutter every now and then — but so do loads of players.
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
Broke my rule and tuned in to SSB for 10 minutes last night just to hear the reaction – first comment from Sneevins:
“…Let’s be straight about this, there are lots of footballers in Scotland who do this…”, then some comments about the players’ union providing help for those who are drawn into betting.
Worst thing about it was not the obvious scope for match-fixing, or at least score-fixing, but the fact that “..he bet against the Rainjurs – the fans could never forgive him for that!!”.
Jeezo – wee chuckle to myself then turned over to Smoooooooth Radio :-)

I wouldn’t know where to begin predicting a score this evening. Know little of SHakar Lagershandy and their plastic pitch.
For me the main objective is get back to Glasgow with an away goal scored and no more than 2 conceded. Anything better than that would be welcome.
We will know by half time what we’re up against.
Looking forward to it. Hope big Derk is fit. Liked what I saw of him against Ross County. He looks like he could be useful for us away from home in Europe – he has pace, strength and delivered a decent ball in to the box.
I suspect we’ll be fairly conservative in line up and tactics until the bhoys get a feel for the opposition, the pitch and the game. The surface is the least of our worries. We have achieved good results on every plastic pitch we’ve played on from Moscow to Belfast. Elfsborg was a bad performance but the right result. It’s the same pitch for both sides. No excuses.
Have a good day folks. Load of stuff to get done before 4.

I’ll save it and try to print it off..

Slight alteration on post and its android I’m using..8-)
Ian Black got caught. He may have a genuine problem. If so he deserves help.
He also deserves punishment or the SFA and his club will be acting as ‘enablers’.
Kevin Kyle is a tool.
Morning CQNers,
twists n turns (God bless our little hero Oscar) @ 07.12hrs.
Excellent post outlining why we are much more than just a football team. Why supporting Celtic is a way of life.
Alfie 49, Welcome, but why so negative for a first post, especially just before a crucial game. I can understand why some comments ask if you are a current.
Ref Ian Black : I was tickled pink to hear that he has been caught red handed. For all you Sevco true blues down at Castle Grayskull the news must have come as a bolt from the blue.
He is certainly not green behind the ears and how many times has the red mist descended. He truly is not lily white on the park, and how many times has the yellow bellied black sheep complained about tackles on him while trying to achieve brownie points. Definitely the pot calling the kettle black.
Anyway enough of singing the blues, every cloud has a silver lining and Sevco must be green with envy as the CL beckons.
Lets hope our small band of fans are as good as gold as we hope for another purple patch.
To summarize, for once in a blue moon let us hope for a rub of the green.
HH, Always in Celtic.
