PSG have yet to be asked questions

494

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.

    I visited Culloden 10 years ago.

     

    The death massacre vibe from the place, freaked me out. Celtic’s performance that day was a worse experience in Inverness though. :)

    My granddaughter is being taught about the Scottish Highland clearances in Saint Ninian’s RC School, Knightswood. Unheard in my day of history lessons. It was all about the Battle of Hastings and the British Commonwealth bullshit.

     

     

    *living down in the Bonnie Banks we got lots of Scottish history, our heroes were Rob Roy, William Wallace and the Bruce, we didnae get Burns though, something about goatshaggin whoremaister comes tae mind.

     

     

    Mrs TT in Dumbarton didnae and when I went tae St Pats it was more Thomas Moore and the Fenian Man O’ War.

    I reckon history is the only subject you can lie about and never be proven wrong in your lies.

    BTW I stayed at my aunt’s house in Afton Avenue in Heathfield when I was in the Met Office at Prestwick 1956-1961. ‘Auld Ayr where ne’er a toon surpasses etc’….. Except for my wife who is from Kilwinning so the Bard really meant Auld Ayrshire…….
