Paddy time, Europa and Remembrance

1055

Celtic recorded victories over Dundee and Hearts after their first two Champions League games but collected only one point from the two league games following the double header against Barcelona.  They also won after only two of their four Champions League qualifying games, so there is no reason to expect a convincing win against Inverness tomorrow.

Inverness slumped to a freak 1-5 defeat at home to Motherwell last week but that was their first defeat since the same team beat them earlier this season.  Like Celtic at the Camp Nou, they will be set on defending deeply at Celtic Park in order to prevent another collapse.  This could be an occasion for Paddy McCourt to prize them open.

I had a look at the Europa League group tables last night.  Udinese, who eclipsed us in the same competition last season, are bottom of their group this year, as are PSV Eindhoven, Sporting Lisbon, Athletic Bilbao (who beat Manchester Utd home and away last season) and Helsingborgs.  Other recent opponents Rapid Vienna and Hapoel Tel-Aviv are also bottom.

If you’re on Facebook there is a story on the CQN Magazine page about Benfica implying Celtic only beat Barcelona because of cheating.  Drop in and take a look.  On a related subject, I’ve some good material from Spartak in reserve for the days before their visit.

The Annual Remembrance Service, held by the Celtic Supporters’ Association, takes place tomorrow, in memory of Celtic fans no longer with us, with prayers offered for those departed during the last year, including Joe McBride.

The Mass, at St Michael’s at 1350 Gallowgate just up from Parkhead Cross, will start at 12:30 and should be over in around 30 minutes, after which refreshments will be available in the hall to warm you before you head to the game.  All are welcome to celebrate the memory of those who have gone before us.

Lost wedding ring alert! Someone found a wedding ring in Lisbon which was probably dropped by a Celtic fan. Let me know if you know who is walking around with their hand in their pocket this week.

    It is a bit of a trek, but its no too bad coming up, worse going back home.

     

     

    I am snookered whatever route i choose whether its M8, M74 or through EK. I usually go down through the EK express way and through Stewartfield on to the GSO then M77.

     

    Fastest route in the evening.

    there was a man throwing sawdust out of a window and another man asked him ‘why do you throw sawdust out of that window’ the man replied ‘to keep the elephants away’ and the other man said ‘but theres no elephants here’ the man replied ‘good stuff eh’

  6. Can someone advise me of a link to BRTH post?

     

     

    I think the only Scottish newspaper that I will buy after this might be the Cumbernauld News.

     

     

    The Guardian, I believe has a better perspective on theFTT than any MSM piece that I have read to date.

  12. KANO Foundation stuff.

     

     

    Tomorrow’s guests at Celtic Park will be brought along by http://www.johnthomson.org.uk/

     

     

    This will be the second year that the bhoys at JT have brought groups along and we hope that this will continue on an annual basis. I would encourage you all to have a wee look at their website and see some of the fantastic work they do.

     

     

    With the absence of the Green Brigade tomorrow, the noisiest area of the stadium may well be just behind the goal in the Lisbon Lion stand! Let’s hope the team give them plenty to cheer.

    This is great news for me, since Ihave always been convinced that our Board have the best interests of our fans at heart .. Neil, (and the Board) sent out a very strong message to the GB, when he ‘presented’ the league trophy to them………..I am confident the Board will support the GB if, and when, they present examples / evidence of any harrasment etc to them …….I luv the GB…..they remind me of the JUNGLE 40 years ago, and they are a credit to CFC………..

    yes, looking for Killybegs, didn’t think a roundabout would help…..

  16. 67Heaven

     

     

    Our board are many things, but stupid is not one of them.

     

     

    They are driven by the balance sheet, and it’s stood the club in good stead up till now, no reason to change, but they must know that by alienating the support, it will hit the thing they hold dear, their balance sheet.

     

     

    I saw a post earlier as well saying that Lenny was to meet with a few of the GB.

  17. Prestonpans Bhoys

     

    No ,better heading for Donegal Town ,then signposted ,then the Bhoys from Killybegs will take you home..

    It’s a new world record for a non-game ………and sally wants to know who sold the extra 3 tickets……Greengo probably had more tickets forged for his pension pot, but got the numbers wrong on that occasion also……HaHaHaHaHaHaHaHa ……… Oh, the rankers are deed ……
