Friday night is the new Saturday afternoon, apparently. Celtic, Paris Saint-Germain and Anderlecht all play tomorrow evening. Only Bayern Munich from our Champions League group have a weekend game; on Saturday, so there will be little advantage gained from the earlier domestic kick-off.
PSG are away to Metz, near the German border. Whereas PSG are top of Ligue 1, having won all their games, Metz are anchored at the bottom, the only team yet to take a point. This game is a perfect opportunity for PSG to rest players who have been busy on international duty, before the trip to Glasgow. Celtic’s scouts will be able to observe the shape of their forthcoming opponents, but the intensity of the game will not come close to what we see at Celtic Park.
Immediately before the international break, PSG beat Saint Etienne 3-0 in Paris. It is one measure of a good team to win comfortably even when not playing well. PSG achieved this against Le Verts, but there was encouragement for Brendan Rodgers in this game. This was also the only league game PSG have played against a team who have not lost at least half of their matches so far.
Without having to go through the trauma of Champions League qualifiers, the notion persists that PSG have yet to be asked questions this season. They may be able to revel in the joys of having signed two exciting new strikers, but great teams are made of durable cohesion, not striking bling.

TWC,
Can you ask them all to clarify their views on the prevalent “surviving liquidation” myth….or if that’s too difficult for them…..how about their views on conferring the titles won by a liquidated clumpany onto a new entity…..or if that’s to difficult for them ask them about Celtic distancing themselves from the old firm tag….or if that’s too difficult for them…..ask them why player were allowed to leave a liquidated club for free….;-))

to my eternal shame i used the UB40 gate at celtic park when i was in my teens.
I am sure though it had some sort of daft rule that you had to be there half hour before the match.
………………………………………………………………….
The club wanted you in early to keep you out of the pub!
Being unemployed is nothing to be ashamed of.
I have been out of work and I am guessing lots of our fellow posters have been too.
Chin up!!
LURKIN, no shite, lost many days wages for strike action. Was known as Red Ron
Thelurkintim. 8.09.
Maybe not.
We once had a TU rep, he done all the things Ron said yet his views were more right wing than Thatcher.
He was a Civil Servant this rep, he was only a rep to get time off work.
Ask Ron what his occupation was?
Hail Hail
The SFA are throwing us a bone. They’ve looked at the wee tax case, ebts and resolution 12 and decided that the latter will have less fall out. Judgement – we were misled / made a mistake – sorry – now move on.
Eddie
Hope you are well. Been too long since we chewed the fat. Hope all is well in H’burgh my friend.
HH
Aye, and whilst we’re on the incredulous….Ernie Lynch quoting South Parks Mr Mackey on here….astonishing ;-))
Gene 8.15.
Correct.
They have calculated that there is something for everyone in their statements and have taken the path of least resistance.
Or so they think.
Hail Hail
Ah , a new clique. Maybe the bestest clique.
The ” Those of us who have been binned for taking industrial action clique ”
Roll up. I would wager it’s a biggie.
HH to all.
Wherever I worked I fought for my fellow workers.

OldTim was the best dressed man I saw inside Paradise at Astana match. Suited, booted, shirt, tie and quality waistcoat. Dapper OldTim through and through!
Vaguely remember played footie match in Blanefield in late sixties. Went to the Black Bull afterwards.

600 euro for a Bayern Munich season ticket.
My Celtic season ticket is £600. Not much different. BM prices are away above northern German teams like B Dortmund, W Bremen etc. though. Free travel in Germany on the day of the match with your ticket via public transport.
MIT
Sad news about your friend
May he rest in peace
HH
Natknow,
Wow….so there really is nothing new under heaven ;-))

DD,
If it was Scotland then holding a Celtic ST would actually double the fair………

The German earn a load from sponsorship deals. Bundesliga clubs got around 182 million euros 2016/2017. If Celtic had that kind of income I wonder if we’d get free bus tickets?? :-)))
DD
Not much difference right enough. my season ticket is cheaper now than it was in 2012. they went down 100 then up 50. still less that 500, row p north stand. for me that’s good value so i don’t complain.

Lot of 80’s UK Ska etc. were covers. That said – some great original stuff from Specials, UB40, etc!!
TLT
2 crackin’ tunes bro.
Loved Ali Campbell’s song for MLK.
Dave King should listen to King and Food for Thought. UB40’s two best war tunes. Magic rebellious ’80s.
Natknow,
Now there’s the quandary…..if we were earning that amount….wouldn’t we be scrambling every year to spend it…..before the tax-man got claws into it….it’d be a nice position to be in tho ;-))
Put many an old fashioned penny into the mouth of the black baby collection figurine.
