Nomme Kaljur biggest game of the week is tonight

449
By on CQN BLOG & Comments

In a little over five hours, Nomme Kalju are in domestic league action, their 20th game of the season.  2018’s champions are level in the battle for third place with tonight’s opponents, Paide, so this will be a competitive encounter.  All things considered, the forthcoming games against Celtic are less important than finishing third and qualifying for Europe next season.

They are five points off second and 10 from the top of the table.  It has been a disappointing campaign for the two-time Estonian champions, the most significant positive being this week’s Champions League qualification win in Macedonia over Shkendija.

Like Kilmarnock, who went down to the other CQN last night, Shkendija are preseason, and having won away, should comfortably have taken care of business in the second leg, but weakness in the other kind of legs is likely to have been their downfall.  Both teams were clearly drained from their first competitive action of the season, leading to bizarre results.

Nomme probably have the lowest economic footprint of any club Celtic have faced in European football (Lincoln Red Imps may just edge them).  Wednesday’s game at Celtic Park will certainly contribute more to the economy than their entire 2018 exploits.  This tie is a fairy tale for Nomme Kalju, who will transform their 2019 economic footprint with TV rights for the home game, and a gift to Celtic, who had the far tougher task of overcoming Rosenborg at the same stage a year ago.

The European draw gods were unkind last season, let’s hope they continue to pitch softly to us for another few rounds.

    Next week we have a nice spin from peter lawell in the Celtic festival

     

     

    We should of course be having a warm up game to give our new right back game time

     

     

    Unfortunately NL is not being backed by PL

     

    Something that even the most fervent happy clappers said would never happen

     

     

    Well it has

     

    No right back. Another squad player bought in the bargain bucket. This time from Israel

     

    A player who played most of his last 3 years at Center half

     

    Oh dear

     

     

    9 million of dembele money unspent

    Morning CQN from another sunny day in the Azores. After a week of volcano exploring and visiting seaside towns on some of the scariest roads that you will ever come across, we have dumped the hire car and are ensconced in the capital of Sāo Miguel, indeed the entire Azores, Ponta Delgada. Up bright and early today for a four hour Whale watching cruise. 🐳🐬

    G’ mornin’ troops from a hungover, shell-shocked, hollow-husked bankiebhoy1……….visiting rellies from the Great Garden State joined me, the missus and the doggies in several renditions of many, many rebellious Celtic classics- at one point the neighbouring cooooooos even joined in.

    Why don’t you address that directly to Petec instead of to the rest of the blog or have you tried that already

    DBHOYthought I’d throw it out for other views first, then try Petec. Although not sure if I will get a coherent response, Thanks. H H Hebcelt

    So in order to understand a person’s posts or intended meanings, you ask others instead of the author of the posts. Seems a strange way of going about getting to the bottom of something imo. That’s my last word on it.

    HEBCELT,

     

    My view on petec`s mince,was reinforced by a link from Canamalar yesterday,he is a Christian Zionist with his desire for the “rapture” “EndTimes” is just around the corner ,again,and mind and pray for your Leaders,so they can hasten that so called prophecy,Trump, Boris,Big Arlene and her DUP,any nutter that endangers the world and mind and capitalise the names that makes a christ a wee bit less than Yeshua,a wannabe member of the 144,000,just an opinion like ;0)

     

    Keep us oot the Dark Ages……C`Mon Science

    8 league titles in a row

     

    3 trebles in a row

     

    All of these despite the evil machinations of Peter Lawwell who constantly undermines every manager we have.How this goes un noticed by Der Furher Desmond is beyond belief.Unless of course Desmond is in cahoots with the bean counter (Sorry I should say failed bean counter, dont want to be accused of being a happy clapper lapdog poodle).

     

    Anyway if those 2 weren’t trying to undermine Celtic and keep the Old Firm bigot buck flowing in just imagine how successful we could be.

     

    We could probably have won every trophy on offer in the Scottish game

  38. bournesouprecipe on

    Who would win in a fight between this Celtic window with gazillions of money and the Celtic Willo Flood window?

     

     

    They both seem remarkably like Celtic transfer windows whichever you choose, there is underlying frustration from the rank and file of the Celtic support, despite the fact we’d by this point have spent a mere £14M, if David Turnbull had passed his medical.

     

     

    The untested Chris Jullien is an exception, because of his price tag, the window started very badly in Motherwell and Manchester, and so far the Celtic jury is very much still out, but not in a Chris Sutton way. The club has had too long to sign Mikael Lustig’s replacement, given that they knew he was not getting a long term deal, and the recruitment process started with a failed bid for Timothy Castagne in the summer, before this.

     

     

    Celtic fans do not require to see discarded recruitment notes, hear about ringing phones, or four hour ‘recruitment meetings’, Celtic fans require to be told about how our money is being invested, on whom, and when. The random Barrowfield renewal announcement confused the support rather than anything else, especially since its never been backed up, like an unfinished transfer rumour, it disappeared from view.

     

     

    Of course, the backdrop to this tetchy window is Kieran Tierney and whether Arsenal pay up or not, the general relationship between Celtic PLC and the fans will remain with a hole below the waterline. Unless, we sign some more players worthy of the name Celtic, and belonging to another more benevolent fantasy wage structure, the board will always be ‘the board’

    Who would win a fight between a Malcontent/Begrudging/Naysayer and a Pragmatic/realist…in an arm wrestling match reffed by a post modernist existentialist

  41. !!Bada Bing!! on

    We have known for many weeks/months we would have to replace 3/4 of the back 4,add KT to that……..so to have us still faffing about is embarrassing, oh and PS….ive heard every excuse under the sun, why we haven’t got players in, totally incompetent management.

  42. GerryBhoy on

    BBC web site reporting KT had “agreed terms with Arsenal”. Are they to be believed?
